Chapter 29: Appearance of the Blood Whisperer.
Previously, no one dared to create a sect in the Barren land because when the Bloodmoon Envoys arrived, the first target would be the sect.
However, since their clan master had already changed the iron-clad rules that had existed for a couple of centuries, what about him creating a sect? They chose to trust and follow his lead; what was there to be afraid of? What came to worst? They would all be killed.
With that, the Su sacred clan worked overtime to meet Su Yen\'s demands. Today, for the first time, they were recruiting people into the clan.
"Do you hear that the Su sacred clan is recruiting people into the clan?" a group of men and women discussed amid the streets of Cloudweaver.
"Yes. I don\'t know what the Su sacred clan is planning, but the reward for joining them was just too good to be overlooked," a man with a straw hat responded excitedly.
"Are you going to join?" a woman with a mole on her face asked.
"Of course, I\'ve already signed up my name," the man with the hat replied confidently.
"What!"
Everyone widened their eyes and looked at the man with dismay. They were all neighbors, selling various stuff in the business area. They couldn\'t believe the unruly man would be the first person to sign up for the Su recruitment.
"Do you know you\'re going to be a slave for the Su clan after this?" Recovering from their shock, the woman with the mole said with some disdain.
"Who knows?" The hat man shrugged. "As long as the situation of me and my family changes, I don\'t care."
Hearing this, the group fell into silence, lost in thought. Just then, another person whispered and rushed out.
"I\'m going to sign up…"
What!
This was the situation in Cloudweaver city and the surrounding towns. Everyone knew how strong the Su clan was, and if they were to be part of a sacred clan, in just three days, thousands of people had signed up. However, the middle families were wondering what the Su sacred clan was up to.
Meanwhile, inside an eight-story building, a beautiful woman dressed in a purple robe looked down at the bustling street and creased her brow.
She heard a knock and turned her gaze inside the room. "Enter."
"Madam, we received the intel," an average-looking lady reported with a respectful bow.
"Tell me," Wu Bin commanded.
Quickly, she revealed the latest intel without delay and left the room.
Left in the room, a deep frown appeared on Wu Bin\'s face. "Since Su Yen took over their clan, everything has changed."
"But since you dare go against my Crimson Jade Pavilion, let\'s see how long you\'re going to survive under the incoming threat," she thought, with the corner of her lips curled up in a sardonic smile.
Meanwhile, in the Northern Barren land, inside the Zhang sacred clan, Li Xian took a sip from his tea and looked at Zhang Tao with a smile that was not a smile.
"I heard what happened to you in the Su sacred clan?" He said slowly.
"So what? Why are you here?" Zhang Tao had a slight frown on his face.
With the appearance of Li Xian, he knew something was up but didn\'t know what.
"I\'ll cut to the chase. I want your support to destroy the Su sacred clan. After destroying their clan, we can share the loot 50-50," Li Xian said calmly, looking straight into Zhang Tao\'s eyes.
"Why should I destroy them, and not to talk of Su Yen\'s power? How are you going to deal with elite soldiers with Metal Bone Construct?" Zhang Tao sneered.
"You just have to support and let us root them out once and for all. When his father, Su Wei, returns. I\'d like to see his expression then…" He said with his voice laden with hatred.
Watching the deep hatred etched on Li Xian\'s face, Zhang Tao sighed and shook his head.
"Even though Su Yen was way over the line against me, while also I need the secret of the armor, I can\'t jeopardize the safety of my clan for an unknown plan," Zhang Tao said seriously.
Seeing that Zhang Tao wouldn\'t change his mind unless he knew the plan, Li Xian took another sip from his tea and said slowly.
"I\'ve sent the Blood Whisperer."
What!
Zhang Tao\'s face was a canvas of disbelief, his eyes widening in sheer shock as the words spilled forth from Li Xian\'s lips.
The air in the room seemed to thicken.
Time itself appeared to slow down as the weight of Li Xian\'s revelation settled upon him.
In that suspended moment, Zhang Tao\'s thoughts raced like a turbulent river.
He had known Li Xian for years, had shared secrets and alliances, but this revelation was beyond anything he had ever expected.
The Blood Whisperer, a name that sent shivers down the spine of even the bravest warriors, was now an instrument in Li Xian\'s hands.
Zhang Tao\'s voice caught in his throat.
His breath became shallow as he struggled to find words to convey the depth of his shock.
His knuckles whitened as he instinctively gripped the armrest of his chair, trying to anchor himself in a reality that had suddenly become surreal.
"Y-You…What…" He managed to say.
"You heard me." Li Xian was not bothered by Zhang Tao\'s reaction.
He knew the cost of what he had done but didn\'t care. Since he couldn\'t win against the Su clan through normal means.
Then, he wouldn\'t mind turning into a weapon for the devil.
Meanwhile, on a quiet road, a caravan guarded with soldiers with Metal Bone Construct with the symbol of the Su clan marched forward, with their eyes searching for any
threat.
Suddenly, the guard captain raised his hand, and the caravan came to a stop while the guards turned serious.
\'Something is not right…\' The captain thought.
Just before he could process what was happening, tens of men dressed in deep black robes appeared from all sides, surrounding the caravan.
Their faces were covered in a blood-red mask of a child weeping.
"B-Blood Whisperer," the guard captain managed to say before a deadly sword strike above the Body Building realm arrived before his eyes.
