Chapter 1411

The Qingluan Legion, the first legion of Qingluan Country, is the imperial family's elite force.

In its founding days, Qingluan Country relied entirely on the Qingluan Legion.

"The Qingluan Legion won't dare leave—they've heard the Shengfeng Country's troops are stirring near the border; the Qingluan Legion absolutely won't move!"

"Shengfeng Country is clearly trying to take advantage of our misfortune!"

"Absolutely—those bastards are despicable!"

"…"

Hearing that the Qingluan Legion dared not leave, Su Yang felt a hint of disappointment.

If the Qingluan Legion appeared, and we wiped them out, the Hellblood Vine Flower might reach God-Rank Low-Grade—then victory would be all but certain!

Su Yang hadn't expected Xue Li's efficiency to be this high.

In less than a month, she had breached over thirty cities of Qingluan Country.

This efficiency far surpassed that of the Beast Emperor on Water Blue Star!

Moreover, Su Yang was certain that if Qingluan Country continued to ignore the situation and let the Hellblood Vine Flower expand wildly, its rate of city breaches would only accelerate.

Su Yang gazed toward Xue Li's direction and murmured: "Those people in Qingluan Country must have already noticed the Hellblood Vine Flower's expansion pattern—they won't dare delay any longer!"

The Hellblood Vine Flower's rapid parasitism is something anyone who's seen it once will never forget!

Su Yang knew Qingluan Country would be in agony.

Su Yang ate a simple meal in the small town, then teleported toward Yuncheng.

At this moment, Yuncheng was nothing but ruins.

At noon, standing in midair, Su Yang could still see smoke rising from scattered hearths amid the rubble.

There were still people inside Yuncheng—quite a few, perhaps fifty thousand.

Most of them were civilians and low-rank Beast Tamer.

Su Yang ignored these civilians and rode the Storm Eagle northward, searching for the Hellblood Vine Flower.

Heading north, Su Yang encountered not a single living beast.

Everywhere were uprooted trees and churned earth.

Half a day later, Su Yang finally contacted Xue Li.

"Master!"

"How's it going?"

"I feel if I push a little harder, I'll reach God-Rank Low-Grade!"

Su Yang glanced at Xue Li's status panel and saw her experience points were already over half full.

These past days, Xue Li hadn't just attacked Qingluan Country—she'd also been wiping out every beast in the Green Cloud Mountains!

Almost all beasts within Qingluan Country's Green Cloud Mountains had been purged by the Hellblood Vine Flower.

Moreover, offshoots of the Hellblood Vine Flower had spread into other nations.

Wherever the Hellblood Vine Flower passed, beasts were exterminated.

Without a God-Rank beast appearing, no one could stop the Hellblood Vine Flower's expansion—even a God-Rank Low-Grade beast couldn't kill Xue Li.

"What do you think we should do to level up faster?"

"I'd prefer to enter the Green Cloud Mountains!"

"Why?"

"After breaching cities recently, I noticed almost no Beast Tamers inside!" Xue Li said with a forlorn face. "Qingluan Country seems to have realized we avoid civilians—they've pulled out all the Beast Tamers and left only civilians behind…"

"They actually did that?"

Su Yang hadn't anticipated such a move.

Qingluan Country's Beast Tamers were truly ruthless—they didn't even protect civilians anymore.

But then Su Yang understood.

In Qingluan Country, the social gap between Beast Tamers and civilians was enormous.

In the Huaxia Federation, soldiers' duty was to defend their homeland.

Ordinary Beast Tamers who attacked civilians without cause faced legal punishment.

But in the Beast Tamer world, civilians had extremely low status.

Powerful organizations, hereditary clans, and Beast Tamer academies stood everywhere—their combined power made even regional governors and the imperial family wary.

Many Beast Tamers with connections could avoid punishment for killing civilians by simply paying compensation.

With civilians so lowly, when Qingluan Country's Beast Tamer lords realized the Hellblood Vine Flower deliberately spared civilians, they naturally abandoned them and fled when they couldn't fight back.

"Master, can I fully focus on attacking the beasts in the Green Cloud Mountains?" Xue Li asked plaintively. "I know you dislike targeting civilians—I'm not interested in them anyway. I think the beasts in the Green Cloud Mountains are cuter; they don't run away randomly!"

"Yes."

Su Yang agreed immediately.

His reason was simple: his current mission was to boost Xue Li's power and draw Qingluan Country's attention.

By now, even if the Qingluan Country's God-Rank Beast Tamer was busy, he should have intervened by now!

If Xue Li and her forces vanished now, it would keep them scrambling for a while longer.

Besides, the Green Cloud Mountains were several times larger than Qingluan Country and teemed with beasts.

Two days after Xue Li withdrew, a stern middle-aged man clad in Qingluan robes and wearing a Qingluan crown, accompanied by five Emperor-Rank Beast Tamers, appeared in Dalaicheng.

Seeing the collapsed walls of Dalaicheng and civilians wandering the ruins, searching for Daily necessities, the man frowned.

"What's going on? Where are those plant-type beasts you reported? Why are they gone?"

This was the Emperor of Qingluan Country—the nation's strongest God-Rank Beast Tamer!

Upon learning of the Hellblood Vine Flower's rampant parasitism, even this Emperor could no longer sit idle.

He was very clear about the terrifying consequences that would result if such a group of ferocious beasts—breeding madly, growing rapidly, with absurdly high potential, powerful strength, brutally bloodthirsty, and leaving all living things extinct wherever they passed—were to run rampant.

Given a little time, wiping out a country was not impossible!

Especially after hearing that General Feng Yu had been killed by the master behind these blood-red plant-type ferocious beasts, his fury blazed sky-high!

General Feng Yu was a woman he admired!

Additionally, the mysterious powerhouse of the Weibailong Society who controlled the blood-red plant-type ferocious beasts had also been placed on his must-kill list!

It was simply too dangerous—if not eliminated, he would be unable to sleep or eat in peace!

He had originally been able to rush to Lüyun Commandery more than ten days ago.

The trouble was, he had been held up by that Divine-tier Beast Tamer of the Divine Wind Kingdom!
