“Blood Demon Old Man! Something big has happened!”

The silver spatial force rippled continuously, and several figures hurriedly emerged, their faces filled with terror.

Several old men rushed over together to discuss important matters with the Blood Demon Old Man. Since the Lin Family ancestor had been killed by a single punch from Chu Yi, the Blood Demon Old Man had taken over managing the other elders. Naturally, the elders gradually saw him as their backbone. Even his old rival, the Yin Mountain Old Demon, temporarily set aside their past grudges and submitted.

After all, the martial families had already been suppressed by Chu Yi. If they continued to fight amongst themselves, it would surely lead to their decline and eventual disappearance.

Everyone understood the principle: a single chopstick breaks easily, but a bundle does not.

“What now? You guys come running to me every few days.”

“What if an Alien Beast emerges from the void rifts you’re supposed to be guarding?”

“Heh, Blood Demon Old Man, don’t get so worked up. We just came out for a bit of fun. It’s not as serious as you make it out to be! Relax!”

The Blood Demon Old Man was furious.

“Damn it, not serious? If something really happens, I’ll be the first to get in trouble. Chu Yi put me in charge of you all. If you make a mistake, we all get punished. No, Chu Yi will punish me first! You guys are secondary.”

“So tell me, do I have nothing to worry about? You say it’s nothing, but I’m the one who gets blamed.”

“This is infuriating!”

His face flushed red, and blood light continuously emanated from his hands. He clapped his hands together, and blood-red rivers surged, filling the air with a thick, bloody scent.

“Hey! Blood Demon Old Man, is this really necessary?”

Everyone covered their noses, trying to suppress the urge to vomit.

The blood-red rivers transformed into a crimson scarf, tightly wrapping around the emerging Alien Beasts.

Moments later, the scarf released the Alien Beasts, leaving only dried corpses behind.

“Star Absorption Method?”

Someone exclaimed.

“It looks like the Blood Demon Old Man’s cultivation has improved!”

“Damn, this is pure cheating! He just absorbs the blood essence of Alien Beasts every day. Why do we even bother cultivating?”

“Exactly! No wonder he never resists. He’s enjoying the benefits too much!”

The old men pointed at the Blood Demon Old Man.

Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, the Blood Demon Old Man looked satisfied but became annoyed at their words.

“What? If you’re not convinced, come out and duel me. Stop with the sarcastic comments.”

“If you have the guts, let’s fight. See if I don’t beat you!”

“Now, what’s the real reason you’re here?”

The Blood Demon Old Man asked impatiently, but everyone looked at him in surprise.

“What? Blood Demon Old Man, you don’t know?”

Confused, the Blood Demon Old Man’s face darkened.

“Spit it out and get back to your posts. If anything happens to the void rifts, I’ll deal with you myself, saving Chu Yi the trouble!”

“Uh, uh—”

At the mention of Chu Yi, everyone stepped back as if they had seen a ghost.

“Here! See for yourself!”

The Blood Demon Old Man took the phone and watched the video.

“This flame! It’s the same one that broke my Blood Demon Method that day! No… it seems even stronger now! And the Alien Beast… just died like that?”

He watched the short video dozens of times.

“This… you’re not telling me this was Chen Hao’s doing, are you?” The Blood Demon Old Man found it hard to believe. If Chen Hao had this kind of power now, Chu Yi must be even more terrifying.

“No, it was Chu Yi!”

The Blood Demon Old Man quickly nodded, relieved. He had braced himself for it to be Chen Hao, so hearing it was Chu Yi was a relief.

“Phew—thank goodness it was Chu Yi!”

But the others were not so calm.

“What’s going on? You just accept it like that?”

“Blood Demon Old Man, have you forgotten the honor of the martial families?”

“This is heresy, a violation of our ancestral teachings!”

They surrounded him, pointing fingers.

“Bang—”

The Blood Demon Old Man unleashed a powerful force, instantly intimidating them.

“Right now, all I know is if you don’t return to the void rifts to help clear out the Alien Beasts, I’ll send you to meet the Lin Family ancestor!”

Seeing his blood-red eyes, they knew he was serious.

From the video alone, the Blood Demon Old Man could tell that the demonic flame was not as simple as it seemed.

He had a feeling that even if he touched that mysterious flame, he would be burned to ashes.

Chu Yi’s methods were too terrifying. What shocked the Blood Demon Old Man even more was how Chu Yi had managed to improve his strength so quickly.

After seeing the official report from China, he was even more astonished. Chu Yi had wiped out most of the Alien Beasts in Jiangbei City in an instant and even uncovered spies from the Southern Nations in the Free Nation.

“Is this the difference between people?”

The Blood Demon Old Man smiled bitterly, then put down the phone and continued his battle against the Alien Beasts, striving to improve himself.

“General Henry Labrador! Everything is proceeding as planned. The research equipment targeting the Extraordinary Beings is nearly complete, awaiting further optimization to maximize damage.”

“Good!”

Henry Labrador smiled broadly as he spoke on the phone.

“Once this plan is completed, all past humiliations will be washed away. Today, we will avenge our shame!”

He thought to himself.

Just as he was about to hang up, the person on the other end delivered another bombshell.

“General Henry Labrador, as you predicted, it has begun to awaken. With our top-tier technology, we will soon defeat China’s Extraordinary Beings!”

“Good, good, good. We might need to draft a backup plan. Heh heh heh, we’ll make sure the people of China have no way out!”

“Then, will they dare not to hand over their advanced techniques?”

“There’s an old saying in China—’A gentleman is innocent, but holding a treasure makes him guilty!’ Hahaha!”

Henry Labrador laughed loudly, as if he had already succeeded. He then hummed a tune, ready to share the good news with William James.

“Whoo-hoo! We’re taking off!”

“China, if you’re a tiger, lie down; if you’re a dragon, coil up!”

“Soon, you’ll know the miserable fate of angering the Free Nation!”
