Chapter 2585 - 2585 Northern Expedition Plan
If it were anyone else in Han Fei’s shoes, they might not have done a better job than him.
Han Fei’s purpose was to let countless strong masters in the Infinite Mining Area clear the way for him. But at the same time, this inheritance was exposed to everyone, so it might not be obtained by him.
Therefore, since Han Fei had done so, it meant that he was confident of obtaining the Great Monarch’s inheritance. At least, he had a better chance than others.
Therefore, everyone thought that Han Fei definitely didn’t just have a key. He might have something more useful.
However, at this moment, they couldn’t force Han Fei to hand it over, nor would Han Fei. Therefore, the first step now was to enter the inheritance land. Only then could they force Han Fei to hand over more useful information.
Some people were more aggressive. They felt that although they were used by Han Fei this time, the inheritance of the Great Monarch Bloody Hand must be theirs.
Otherwise, the joint exploration team wouldn’t have been so wasteful. Besides, they had accurately described the situation of the Bloody Hand Mine Devil.
Of course, some people were conservative. They felt that this was all Han Fei’s trick. How could Han Fei give away the inheritance of a Great Monarch or a god? Han Fei was obviously cheating them, so even if they really took action, they would be relatively conservative.
Now that the matter had been made public, the northern expedition was naturally on the agenda.
For ordinary peak-level late-stage Star Transformation Realm or even perfected Star Transformation Realm cultivators, even if they didn’t obtain the inheritance of a Great Monarch, it would be good enough if they could get a few level-seven minerals.
Level-seven minerals represented godly weapons.
Below the Mine Demon Stream were all Bloody Hand Mine Devils who had reached the perfected Star Transformation Realm, which meant that there were countless level-seven minerals. Furthermore, level-seven minerals were always accompanied by many level-six minerals. This alone was enough to attract countless people.
Judging from Han Fei’s shopping spree in the Hundred Alliance City recently, there was no doubt that the Bloody Hand Mine Devil would produce level-seven minerals.
Therefore, the probability of rejecting participating in the northern expedition was very low.
In the past, the eight northern expeditions were actually for minerals. In the west was the territory of ferocious beasts, in the south was the territory of divine beasts, and in the north was an important source of high-level minerals for the Hundred Alliance City.
However, just for the sake of the mineral, and with a high probability of death, no one was willing to sacrifice so much.
But this time, the mineral was one thing, and the inheritance of the Great Monarch was another. In fact, the inheritance of the Great Monarch might even become the inheritance of a god, which was too tempting.
Judging from Wushuang’s trip to the Infinite Mining Area, it could be seen how important the heritance of the Great Monarch Bloody Hand was to the Capital of Horror. If it weren’t for the inheritance, why would Wushuang, a cultivator who was certain to prove Dao, take the risk to go to the Infinite Mining Area?
Unfortunately, it was clearly too late for them to inform their sects. Otherwise, strong masters from the East Sea Divine Realm and even the Central Sea Divine Realm would come. When these people came, their chances of obtaining the inheritance would be even smaller.
However, this didn’t prevent the major factions from immediately informing their sects of the new situation in the Infinite Mining Area after this meeting. Those who should come would still come, although they would come a little late.
When Han Fei went door to door to promote the inheritance of the Great Monarch Bloody Hand, someone had already sensed the opportunity and informed his sect in advance. Unfortunately, the time was too short, far from enough for them to rush to the Infinite Mining Area.
Someone said, “In any case, the joint exploration team has made great contributions. I propose to give them a certain resource reward.”
“Seconded.”
“I think so.”
Liu Wu and the others were dumbfounded. No one cared about their hardship at all. What they said was completely ignored by the big shots.
At this moment, they finally realized that they were indeed the cannon fodder selected by their sects. These people might have been prepared for their complete annihilation.
Their return only confirmed one thing, that was, the location of the Mine Demon Stream was correct. There were indeed Bloody Hand Mine Devils there, and the Bloody Hand Mine Devils there were indeed in the perfected Star Transformation Realm and were rich in level-seven minerals.
Yes, this was their role. Therefore, no one cared how many of them died. Anyway, they only sent one peak-level late-stage Star Transformation Realm cultivator, which was completely within their tolerance.
Sure enough, in the next moment, his leader spoke to him telepathically, “That’s enough. Don’t bother with the Human Butcher again. You can leave now. You will be rewarded with a low-quality godly weapon and a 360,000-kilometer refined star…
To be honest, this reward was not bad. After all, they had only done some reconnaissance. If they were willing to participate in the subsequent northern expedition, it would most likely be allowed. But there would be more people participating in the northern expedition. This was reality.
Han Fei had already seen through these people, so he was not worried about the northern expedition at all. As long as there was enough temptation, the northern expedition was imperative.
Sure enough, the anger of Liu Wu and the others could only be held in their hearts, but Han Fei was sitting safe and sound in the conference hall.
Following that, Han Fei’s location was temporarily blocked because the leaders of the Hundred Alliances needed to discuss. Han Fei had no objection to this. Anyway, no matter how they discussed, the final result would be the same.
Sure enough, about half an hour later, Wushuang announced the results of the discussion.
Wushuang said, “Human Emperor, it has been decided by the Hundred Alliances. This northern expedition can be carried out. However, as the instigator of this whole thing, you have to participate in this northern expedition and follow the army. If the northern expedition is found to have caused the death of a large number of strong masters because of your concealment of information, the army of the Hundred Alliances will kill you in the northern mining area immediately even if we abandon this northern expedition. Do you have any objections?”
Han Fei chuckled. “I’m going there anyway. To be honest, even if you don’t carry out this northern expedition, I won’t give up. To put it bluntly, we’re making use of each other. I need to use your strength to open the way to the inheritance land. And you need me to provide the location of the Great Monarch’s inheritance, the key, and the specific dangers. After entering the inheritance land, let’s rely on our own abilities.”
Wushuang said, “In that case, the Hundred Alliance City is going to make plans for our ninth northern expedition. The members of the Hundred Alliance City have three days to gather manpower on their own or discuss whether to participate in this plan. However, it must be remembered that in order to be fair, a single faction can only mobilize at most a hundred cultivators in the peak-level late-stage Star Transformation Realm or above. Furthermore, if non-members of the Hundred Alliances want to participate in this northern expedition, the minimum requirement is reaching the peak-level late-stage Star Transformation Realm, and the total number of participants cannot exceed 10,000. Finally, if itinerant cultivators want to participate in this northern expedition, the minimum requirement is reaching the peak-level late-stage Star Transformation Realm. The total number of people can be up to 10,000, and they can’t assume any leadership position.”
Wushuang said, “To summarize, the upper limit of the northern expedition this time is 30,000 people. They are respectively the Hundred Alliances, non-Hundred Alliances, and itinerant cultivators. The lowest strength is in the peak-level late-stage Star Transformation Realm. Anyone who joins must accept the leadership of the Hundred Alliance City.”
Han Fei was stunned when he heard that Wushuang was going to organize an army of 30,000 peak-level late-stage Star Transformation Realm cultivators and above. Shit, was the northern expedition so powerful?
He had thought that the Infinite Mining Area could at most send out an army of 10,000 Sky Opening realm cultivators or above and might be able to clear the Mine Demon Stream. After all, the Bloody Hand Mine Devil was not very intelligent.
But now, an army of 30,000 had come up. Could they afford so many people? Or had he underestimated the power of the Infinite Mining Area?
…
In the next three days, the northern expedition plan was officially launched, and the Hundred Alliance City recruited soldiers. When the qualifications for entry above the peak-level late-stage Star Transformation Realm were released, countless people were dumbfounded.
“What? Are they crazy? The minimum qualification to enter is the peak-level late-stage Star Transformation Realm? Are there so many peak-level late-stage Star Transformation Realm cultivators in the Infinite Mining Area?”
“Crazy, this is definitely crazy. In the first eight northern expeditions, it seemed that Sky Openers could join. Why is the standard so high this time? Are they going to directly destroy the northern mining area this time?”
Someone was puzzled. “That’s impossible! Even if the 30,000 people are all in the peak-level late-stage Star Transformation Realm, they can’t break through the northern mining areas, right?”
Someone sneered. “It’s impossible to gather 30,000 peak-level late-stage Star Transformation Realm cultivators. Is such a force used for the northern expedition? Is there something wrong with their heads? They make it sound as if it’s very simple to cultivate to the peak-level late-stage Star Transformation Realm.”
As soon as the northern expedition plan was released, it was questioned almost by everyone.
However, there were still many peak-level late-stage Star Transformation Realm cultivators who came to participate. The reason was that they had heard that the inheritance of a Great Monarch might become the inheritance of a god.
At this moment, Han Fei was having a secret meeting with Wushuang.
Han Fei’s first remark was, “Are there so many cultivators in the peak-level late-stage Star Transformation Realm in the Infinite Mining Area?”
Wushuang nodded. “Of course. However, don’t really expect 30,000 people to come to this northern expedition. It’s good enough to have half of them.”
Han Fei was puzzled. “Then what are you doing?”
Wushuang said, “In any case, we’re going to make a big fuss about this matter. In fact, 30,000 soldiers is just a gimmick. Some forces may not send out a single person. However, as long as some forces think it’s worth it, it’s fine. What do you think? Anyway, our Capital of Horror will mobilize 30 people in the peak-level late-stage Star Transformation Realm and 70 people in the perfected Star Transformation Realm. We definitely have to do this.”
Han Fei narrowed his eyes. “If there are really 30,000 people, I’m afraid we can really break through the Mine Demon Stream.”
Wushuang said, “The Hundred Alliance City may not mobilize so many people, but don’t forget, the Hundred Alliance is not the only power in the Infinite Mining Area. There are divine beasts in the south and ferocious beasts in the west. How can they not participate in such a huge operation? Therefore, in the end, I estimate that the overall number of the northern expedition army will definitely exceed 20,000.”
