Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery Chapter 745 - 745 726 The Desire to Trample All the Bones of

745: Chapter 726: The Desire to Trample All the Bones of Courtiers on the Celestial Streets 745: Chapter 726: The Desire to Trample All the Bones of Courtiers on the Celestial Streets “Subsidizing Cultivators without work for their cultivation can only be a temporary asure.”

“If this goes on much longer, Tushan Immortal City’s finances will collapse, and we’ll have to peacefully disperse, giving up the plan to build a Northern Plains economic and trade center.”

Jiang Ding watched the back of the green-robed maid as she left.

In fact, there are ways, such as investing in infrastructure, water conservancy, order-led investnts dominated by Tushan Immortal City, and building Spiritual Veins, all of which could create so jobs.

Alas, the pool of resources in the Three Kingdoms is too small.

With just three Third-tier Spiritual Veins supporting dozens of Golden Pill Monks and five to six hundred thousand Qi cultivating and base-building Cultivators, the burden is already too heavy, surviving only on blood transfusions from outside to sustain cultivation and prosperity through the developnt of processing trade.”

“Losing the largest source of external transfusions, any investnt by the Immortal City officials would be futile, they might as well let things deteriorate.

“When that ti cos, those who are willing to stay here and endure the harsh cultivation environnt just need to obey the law, we won’t interfere.

Those who wish to return to the Northern Plains will be subsidized for part of their ship fare.”

“That’s all there is to it.”

“The key lies in the situation in the Northern Plains, the situation on the Black Snow Prairie…”

Jiang Ding thought faintly.

Having said that, it is wishful thinking to expect him to personally intervene in the King’s Court conflict in the Northern Plains.

No re economic loss could possibly make him go against his principles and put himself in danger.

“However, eighteen years from now, when Scorching Sun Spirit Iron erges, my annual expenses will surge to one billion Low-grade Spirit Stones, equivalent to the cost of a heavy-armored division…

although I manage my finances quite frugally.”

“It’ll be troubleso if I run out of money by then.”

Jiang Ding looked towards the Northern Plains and took so ti to receive the latest intelligence from the maids there.

“Blood Cloud didn’t die, he escaped.”

“Indeed, he is the man who has escaped from Immortals of Nascent Soul multiple tis; even gravely wounded, he remains elusive…”

“He has not given up, has not beco despondent, it seems he’s carrying out reforms?”

A flicker of interest appeared in Jiang Ding’s eyes.

“Originally he didn’t reform when he had the advantage, and now he’s reforming after such a catastrophic defeat.

Isn’t he afraid his subordinates will betray him and directly surround and kill him with an Army Formation?”

…

On a remote prairie.

Here, over fifty Golden Pill Monks had gathered, most of them in the late or peak stages of Golden Pill cultivation, forming an extrely strong force.

These Cultivators were fully dedicated to the path of the Nascent Soul.

Fa and fortune ant nothing to them.

This was the reason they followed Blood Cloud to the death.

They were solely focused on everlasting life and the path of cultivation.

Liudao Sect recruiting vassal families without any prerequisites held no attraction for them.

Immortal Baii, Iron Bone Vajra, Hei Loucheng, and others were no different.

Everything was for eternal life.

By the sa token, it was for this reason that they did not hesitate to betray their comrades in arms.

Seeing many enemies surrounding them, they didn’t think twice about fleeing, neglecting any Army Formation or greater scenario.

Without life, there’s no point in a greater scenario.

They had been accustod to this for hundreds of years.

It had beco instinct.

To follow to the death and to flee in the face of battle were not contradictory to them.

At this mont, everyone gathered together.

You look at , and I look at you, with expressions of desolation on your faces.

Looking at each other without saying a word.

“Sigh!”

“Let’s not talk about the past.”

“The current situation is already much better than before, at least there’s no Immortal of Nascent Soul coming to slaughter us, and our lives are not in imdiate danger.”

Blood Cloud coughed incessantly, his face flushed, his breathing erratic, clearly not recovered from his severe injuries.

He, in turn, consoled everyone else.

“Fellow Daoists, over hundreds of years on the Golden Pill path, have we not experienced failure, setbacks, and hardships?”

“Have we not faced even tougher situations than this?”

Blood Cloud smiled, lost in mory.

“When I was thirteen years old, I was just a commoner child.

I killed a noble youngster from Yin’s family and was chased by dozens of ard riders and hounds.

I had no power then; I jumped into a river in a snowy world, barely escaping with my life, all thanks to luck that I stumbled upon a Qi cultivator’s legacy and survived.”

“Fellow Daoists, so of you co from small Sects, others from Collateral Lineages; haven’t we all been in situations like this?

I don’t believe you haven’t.”

“Leader, we have, many tis.”

The atmosphere among the surrounding Golden Pill Monks relaxed a bit, and their morale rose.

“Leader,”

Soone laughed, “I’m also from a Loose Cultivator background, not so Direct Lineage noble of the prairies.

How could I not have experienced such things?

It’s pretty normal.”

“The lifespan of a Golden Pill is just so, with the path ahead of us, only death awaits.”

“Only death awaits.”

Immortal Baii, Hei Louxi, the First Maid of Spring Chun Jian, and others agreed, showing no fear.

“Among us, there is no one who fears death or clings to life.”

“With superior strength and at least six tis more in numbers than Yin Dao’s forces, how did we lose so easily?”

Blood Cloud sighed deeply.

“In the secret realm of the Luoxu Clan, Immortal Tushan wielded the power of a Golden Pill avatar, commanding a temporary army, withering and clever, invincible.”

“Why are we inferior to others?”

“What exactly did Immortal Tushan do to make it this way?”

“This…”

The surrounding Golden Pill Monks fell silent.

With hundreds of years of cultivation experience, who wasn’t cunning?

How could they not know the trick to it?

But…

Seeing this, Blood Cloud did not press further, quietly waiting.

The Golden Pill Monks around him were as silent as if they had beco mute.

“`

They looked up at the white clouds in the sky, at the ground, at the green grass, but they had no ti to speak.

For several days in a row, it was just like this.

No one was willing to offend others, to be resented by all.

Throughout history, those who spearheaded reform all t with terrible fates!

“Do you not realize this?”

“Indeed, the actions of an Immortal are profound and unfathomable; it is only natural that we cannot comprehend them.”

Blood Cloud saw this and felt a sense of despair, his enthusiasm waning: “If that’s the case, let’s go our separate ways.”

“A mob, talking about what path?

Forcefully charging forward will only result in more death and injury.”

“It’s better to enjoy what’s left of life and wait for death in the grave.”

Having said that,

Blood Cloud made no gesture, stood up, flew away from there, never looking back, without any hint of reluctance.

“City Lord!”

“No, it must not be!”

“We still have hope…”

Upon seeing this, Immortal Baii and the others imdiately beca anxious.

Apart from Blood Cloud,

where else could they pursue the great Dao of Nascent Soul?

What power would offer the opportunity of Nascent Soul to loose cultivators like stray dogs?

None!

Not a single one!

No power would do so.

Blood Cloud didn’t care, didn’t look back, and flew away even faster, unwilling to be entangled in any more karma.

“City Lord!”

Immortal Baii and the others were suddenly filled with panic.

The last trace of their path was about to fade away, and in this life, there would be no more chance for a Nascent Soul.

“City Lord!”

“Immortal Tushan was able to command temporary troops and destroy the weak precisely because we know the reason!”

Immortal Baii and a few other Golden Pill Peak cultivators with little life energy left looked at each other, gritted their teeth, and said sternly, “It’s nothing more than strict punishnts and laws!”

“Those who flee, kill!”

“Those who fight over Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure, disregarding military discipline, kill!”

“Those who retreat, kill!”

“In addition, reward them generously, soothe those who have made achievents, and advance their path.”

“The so-called art of leadership is nothing but ‘clear rewards and punishnts’; there’s no mystery, that’s all there is to it!”

“Is that so?”

Finally, Blood Cloud stopped, but he didn’t agree right away.

“Clear rewards and punishnts?”

“Indeed, it is so.”

Blood Cloud asked, “These four words are simple, yet knowing and doing are hard; how can one achieve it?”

“You must understand, I’ve given orders to deal with the power struggles and fights among the brothers many tis, but to no avail, only to et with evasion and unwillingness.”

Immortal Baii and the others fell silent.

Blood Cloud also remained silent, just looking at them, without urging anything.

“We are willing to join the enforcent team.”

“Willing to kill all who do not follow the Blood King Army’s laws.”

A mont later, Immortal Baii and several dozen Golden Pill Peak cultivators sighed and said, “City Lord, we can make a Daoist Pact, we can refine treasures for monitoring and enforcent, imitating Immortal Tushan, and allow all brothers to review the enforcent process.”

“We will bear all the resentnt of the Golden Pills alone, and in battle, we too can be the vanguard, taking the lead and killing any who flee first.”

“There’s just one condition, for the Nascent Soul opportunity, after you and a few others, we must be the first to choose!”

By the end, they spoke with ferocity, their killing intent chilling, fearless of any so-called Elites of the Northern Plains, the grand heroes, or the encirclent and suppression by army formations.

“Brothers, we agree to this!”

Blood Cloud laughed heartily.

In the Blood King Army, these Golden Pill Peak cultivators were the backbone.

Once they were resolved, the others would be similar.

A Daoist Pact brimming with spiritual light flew out.

Coming from the ancient Blood River Sect, it stipulated their respective duties and rights, and Blood Cloud’s na had already been signed, prepared in advance.

Immortal Baii, Blood Hand Demon Li Tu, Iron Bone Vajra, and other Golden Pill Peak cultivators hesitated for a mont, carefully checked, and signed their nas.

In less than a quarter of an hour, all the nas of the Golden Pills were entered.

There was a subtle change in the atmosphere among the Golden Pill monks, the wariness between them seed to lessen sowhat, and the trust increased.

“Had the brothers had such awareness before, how could we have been defeated so tragically?”

Blood Cloud laughed loud, “But, it’s not too late now!”

“Brothers, don’t think that I am deserted by all now, with many Golden Pills surrendering to the Liudao Sect, but with just one plan of mine, in an instant, I can attract a million-strong army!”

“Do you believe, or do you not believe?”

“What’s the plan?”

Immortal Baii and the others were startled.

The Golden Pills of the Northern Plains didn’t have that loyalty, and with the Liudao Sect’s power being so great, and having taken them in to beco vassal families, they would not rejoin Blood Cloud just because of his na.

“The Nascent Soul Cultivation thod.”

“Just this.”

Blood Cloud said calmly.

“As long as the Golden Pills join, they get the Nascent Soul Cultivation thod, first half of it, the rest as they achieve rits; the full thod is available for all the brothers here to see.”

“I don’t believe these Golden Pills will not be tempted, and that Liudao Sect would be able to offer the sa terms to win them over.”

“So, tell , can we attract a million-strong army or not?”

“`
