With Elder Sheng dead, a chill crept into the hearts of the two remaining powerhouses, Elder Quan and Elder Zhou.
Elder Quan’s body twisted, and he vanished from the spot in a puff of black mist.
Elder Zhou summoned a large, four-ter-tall bird, leaped onto its back, and soared into the sky.
"Thinking of escaping now? It’s too late!"
Shu Feng sneered. He activated the power of his Divinity, and his speed surged dramatically. Like a bolt of lightning, he broke the sound barrier and appeared behind Elder Zhou. A single punch slamd into the elder’s back, blasting him to pieces.
The Seven-headed Dragon Hunting Dog lunged toward a patch of empty air, tackling the fleeing Elder Quan to the ground. It bit down on him and, with a savage tear, ripped off one of his arms.
Fear flashed in Elder Quan’s eyes as he shrieked in terror, "Stop! Mad Blade Leader! I surrender! I surrender! Don’t kill ! Please, don’t kill !"
In an instant, Shu Feng appeared before Elder Quan. He slapped a palm against the elder’s body, sealing his power, then tossed him into the Warrior Synthesis Nest for modification.
With the five Spirit Sect Realm experts from Lord Xiangmi’s Mansion suppressed by Shu Feng, the remaining Warriors lost all courage and began to flee in every direction.
The Dragon Hunting Dogs seized the opportunity to pounce, taking down the Warriors of Lord Xiangmi’s Mansion one by one.
Zhu Yu stood frozen, his face pale and his legs trembling. He gritted his teeth and said, "Shu Feng, I am a Direct Lineage mber of the Zhu Clan! Spare ! If you let go, I can plead with the Patriarch to spare your life in the future."
Shu Feng gave a chilling smile and swung his saber, slicing the Zhu Clan’s Direct Lineage mber in two. "I’m Mad Saber, the leader of the Black Wind Thieves! The Zhu Clan might be powerful, but they have no authority over us!"
Disbelief flickered in Zhu Yu’s eyes. He couldn’t believe that soone actually dared to kill a noble mber of the Zhu Clan.
After killing Zhu Yu, Shu Feng stord directly into the Treasure Vault of Lord Xiangmi’s Mansion and plundered it completely.
Ever since becoming enemies with the Zhu Clan, Shu Feng’s intelligence network had never stopped investigating them. He knew exactly where the Treasure Vault of Lord Xiangmi’s Mansion was located.
After looting the Lord’s Mansion Treasure Vault, Shu Feng led his army straight for the granaries of Xiangmi Territory.
Xiangmi Territory was the largest grain producer in the Qianyuan Republic, effectively serving as its breadbasket. The granaries there stretched for dozens of miles.
When Shu Feng’s army of Dragon Hunting Dogs invaded, they easily annihilated the five hundred elite Zhu Clan Warriors stationed there. anwhile, Shu Feng himself broke into one granary after another, absorbing the grain into his Base Space before putting each building to the torch.
Terrifying flas stretched for dozens of miles across Xiangmi Territory, plunging the entire region into Fear. The people were terrified that the Black Wind Thieves would return to carry out another massacre.
After seizing the treasure from the City Lord’s Mansion and the grain from the miles-long string of granaries, Shu Feng and his troops quickly vanished from the area.
「Blue Star Zhu Mansion.」
Zhu Huan glanced at a docunt, his brow furrowed in displeasure. ’One hundred Sharp Claw squads infiltrated, and eighty-nine of them were eliminated? Mire Dragon Territory’s Defense is tighter than I thought!’
The Sharp Claws were the Zhu Clan’s Death Warriors. Given the clan’s resources, losing five hundred Spirit Master Level Death Warriors was a trivial matter. But for Zhu Huan personally, it was a significant loss of power.
Zhu Huan grew agitated. ’Useless fools. They didn’t even destroy enough farmland! If they had completely ruined the fields in Mire Dragon Territory, I could have gradually squeezed Shu Feng’s room to maneuver, isolated him from everyone, and then found a way to finish him off.’
Shu Feng himself was powerful and commanded nurous experts. The greatest disparity between him and the established Noble Families was that his territory was too small and barren.
If Shu Feng’s managent of Mire Dragon Territory fell into disarray, Zhu Huan could rally others to gradually squeeze him out.
A middle-aged man in a brocade robe walked in. He bore a strong resemblance to Zhu Huan, and his face was ashen with rage.
A sense of foreboding washed over Zhu Huan as he saw the man. He quickly rose to his feet. "Brother, is sothing the matter?"
The ashen-faced middle-aged man was none other than the Patriarch of the Zhu Mansion, Zhu Guangsheng.
Zhu Guangsheng sat directly in the head seat and coldly tossed a docunt at Zhu Huan. "See for yourself!"
Zhu Huan took the docunt and read it carefully. A chill washed over him, as if he had been plunged into an icy cavern. His face went pale and his voice trembled. "Shu Feng! How could he? How dare he so brazenly attack Xiangmi Territory? Is he trying to rebel?"
Zhu Guangsheng said coldly, "He isn’t trying to rebel. Not yet. Didn’t you see? He used the na of the Black Wind Thieves as a cover. What’s more, he captured all the n you sent and had them accuse our Zhu Clan of attacking other Noble Families with the intent to rebel!"
Zhu Huan’s face was deathly pale. "How could he dare? How could he?" he stamred.
The Zhu Clan was one of the Eight Great Clans of the Qianyuan Republic. They were always the ones doing the bullying, and their victims could only swallow their anger and endure. Anyone who refused had already been silenced—permanently.
But now, Shu Feng had not only dared to sar the Zhu Clan’s na, but he had also launched a brutal counterattack. He had breached Lord Xiangmi’s Mansion and burned all the granaries in Xiangmi Territory in a single stroke. It was utterly terrifying.
A thought occurred to Zhu Huan. "With the granaries burned, the military will be furious!"
The Human Race army on the front lines consus an enormous amount of grain every day. The Zhu Clan is responsible for part of that supply. If their military provisions are destroyed, the military will definitely not let the matter rest.
"Shu Feng has already promised the military that he will provide them with grain at a ten percent discount off our Zhu Clan’s price. The military has already agreed to order from him, and now they’re pressing us to make our delivery. We now have to purchase a massive amount of grain from our own territories. When all is said and done, our losses are estimated to exceed two trillion. This is the ss you’ve made!" Zhu Guangsheng said, staring coldly at Zhu Huan.
Dostically, within the Blue Star Qianyuan Republic, the grain supply is controlled by the governnt. Other factions are forbidden from making large-scale grain purchases.
The Zhu Family’s major grain rchants must all procure grain from their own territories to supply the Qianyuan Republic’s military. With the grain from Xiangmi Territory stolen by Shu Feng, the Zhu Clan now has to purchase a massive quantity of grain from within its other territories and transport it to the Void Demon Battlefield via Teleportation Array.
Transporting such a massive quantity of grain to the front lines in such a short amount of ti is an impossible task. The Zhu Clan is bound to default on its contract. As a result, they will have to pay an enormous penalty to the military, dealing a severe blow to the clan.
