Chapter 1009: Distribution of Spoils (First update, requesting everything)

Luo Yuanjun was humble for a moment, then discussed matters with Li Zhangsheng, primarily focusing on the Xuan Emperor, the Mingcang King, and the Dark Night King.

"This time, the Mingcang King broke the rules to save the Dark Night King; reason is naturally on our side. This seat will request His Majesty the Human Emperor to step in for you; at the very least, you can obtain some compensation!"

The world of Spirit Beasts has only so many resources. In order to obtain more, the power struggle among the Three Sovereigns and Six Emperors has never ceased, and they have divided into several factions based on this.

This time, the Dark Night King was utterly defeated. Judging by the scene at the time, Li Zhangsheng had a high probability of slaying the Dark Night King, or at least causing the Dark Night King greater losses, but because the Mingcang King interfered, the effort fell short of success.

Therefore, reason is naturally on Li Zhangsheng's side; this is a certainty.

Although the Human Emperor does not have much lifespan left, this does not mean the Human Emperor will restrain his usual temperament; on the contrary, the other two Sovereigns and six Emperors are even more wary, fearing that the Human Emperor might drag someone down with him before he dies.

Therefore, the other two Sovereigns and six Emperors do not intend to fall out with the Human Emperor in the near future.

Under these circumstances, the Xuan Emperor will likely choose to compromise, but she cannot hand over the Dark Night King again; otherwise, not to mention the loss of face, what would the other Kings who have already defected or intend to defect to the Xuan Emperor think?

If there are no surprises, the Xuan Emperor will provide a certain amount of compensation to make up for Li Zhangsheng's losses.

The Xuan Emperor must have thought of this point. Why was she willing to take in the Dark Night King? It is nothing more than the fact that she has too few Double-Character Kings under her command, and taking in the Dark Night King brings more benefits than drawbacks.

As for whether doing so would offend the Human Emperor? For the two Sovereigns, this can only be considered a conflict between their subordinates.

The levels are different, so the perspective on things will naturally be different as well.

As for offending Li Zhangsheng?

Sorry, the levels of the two are too far apart. In the eyes of the Xuan Emperor, Li Zhangsheng is equivalent to a slightly larger ant that can be crushed at will; why would she care about the feelings of an ant?

That's right, the Xuan Emperor is just that arrogant.

Of course, she also has the capital to be arrogant.

"Many thanks, Your Majesty Qingmu King!"

Li Zhangsheng hurriedly expressed his thanks, because he could not yet reach the Human Emperor, and everything still required Luo Yuanjun's help.

"By the way, with the Dark Night King having fled, Langya Kingdom will be temporarily handed over to you to manage. As long as you can prevent demons from wreaking havoc in Langya Kingdom, perhaps Langya Kingdom will become your territory."

When Luo Yuanjun said this, the surrounding colleagues all looked at Li Zhangsheng with envious eyes.

The Dark Night King managed Langya Kingdom for three hundred years; the resources produced every year alone were more than enough to supply several Kings.

Li Zhangsheng was naturally tempted. Although he did not yet have a Double-Character King on his side, as long as Langya Kingdom became his territory, he could completely divide Langya Kingdom into three small countries like Dai Kingdom, thereby achieving the goal of indirectly controlling Langya Kingdom.

Once he becomes a Double-Character King, he can completely take over Langya Kingdom.

Not long after, Luo Yuanjun left with the others.

Li Zhangsheng and Ning Bizhen rode Aixi back to Storm Fortress. Not long after waiting, Zhao Yuanqing, Xiang Yutian, Xu Wenhua, and Zuo Qiulin arrived one after another.

In the palace, the six of them sat as host and guests and began to discuss the distribution of the harvest from this time.

The final result of the distribution was very simple; to describe it in one sentence: individual gains belong to the individual, and collective gains are distributed according to labor.

In this way, the distribution became very simple.

Soon, everyone completed the distribution.

Li Zhangsheng obtained the Zining Cauldron, nearly ten corpses of Spirit Beasts he had slain, the blood-colored lantern cut in two by Kailan, and the captured Power Angel.

His harvest was not insignificant. There is no need to mention the Zining Cauldron; even without gathering the Nine Cauldrons, it is still a Zifu Qizhen, and a rare one at that.

The Spirit Beast corpses numbered just over ten, consisting of one Demon Emperor Level corpse, four Demon Saint Level corpses, and six Demon King Level corpses. The corpse of the Demon Emperor Level Burning Mountain Ape alone was beyond value.

Although Li Zhangsheng would refine the flesh and blood of the Burning Mountain Ape into Spirit Essence, its fur, claws, and teeth could all be used as materials for Semi-Artifacts or World Wonders.

The blood-colored lantern could no longer be used, and Li Zhangsheng had no intention of repairing it, preparing to use it as material for artifact refining.

As for the Power Angel, he would just keep it to draw blood.

In addition, Li Zhangsheng also asked about the reason for the Oak King's fall.

Originally, Xiang Yutian was pursuing the Oak King alone, but because the Wrath King fled too quickly, causing Xu Wenhua and Zuo Qiulin to give up too early, they split up to intercept the fleeing Oak King.

In the end, the Oak King was successfully blocked by the three New Kings. If it were in his prime, even if the Oak King were not a match, he would have had a high probability of escaping.

Unfortunately, the Oak King's combat power dropped sharply because of Li Zhangsheng, and he was ultimately defeated and fell.

It is also because of this that although the Oak King was not slain by Li Zhangsheng, his fall had a significant connection to Li Zhangsheng, so naturally, Li Zhangsheng would have a share.

After some discussion, Li Zhangsheng traded all of it for Spirit Beast corpses.

Besides that, Li Zhangsheng even added some treasures to pack up all the remaining Spirit Beast corpses.

Zhao Yuanqing and the others were very clear about Li Zhangsheng's intention, knowing that Li Zhangsheng intended to refine these corpses into Spirit Essence.

Ever since he became a King, Li Zhangsheng had placed the Imitation Demon Refining Pot in the open.

Why so?

It was nothing more than the fact that his Spirit Beasts almost all possessed Robust Bloodlines. Rather than being coveted by others, it was better to put the Imitation Demon Refining Pot in the open. Moreover, his foundation was still the Book of Bloodlines and the herbs that accelerated the recovery speed of Bloodline Imprints.

Most of them had heard of the existence of the Imitation Demon Refining Pot; the long-fallen Pill King had once possessed it and had even made its purification rate public.

Therefore, they subconsciously thought Li Zhangsheng only had a purification rate of about 5%.

A 5% purification rate seems good, but it was still within their acceptable range.

Even so, possessing a 5% purification rate still made people feel envious. After all, as far as Xiang Yutian knew, the entire Kailing Empire only had three forces whose Spirit Essence purification rates were in this category, including the Kailing Empire Imperial Family.

Although such a purification rate seems considerable, it is actually very frustrating to operate in practice. It is fine in the early stages, but after reaching the Rich Bloodline, it is extremely difficult to upgrade to a Robust Bloodline.

The reason is simple: wild Spirit Beasts with high-concentration bloodlines are extremely limited, and most of them huddle together for warmth, belonging to organizations like the Silent Forest or the Monopoly Mountain Range.

As for Spirit Beasts with high-concentration bloodlines?

Hunting others' Spirit Beasts for no reason not only easily offends people, but if one is unlucky, one might even offend more powerful forces.

Li Zhangsheng making the Imitation Demon Refining Pot public is nothing more than the fact that he is no longer who he used to be; no one is willing to target him just for an Imitation Demon Refining Pot.

Xiang Yutian was very excited now. Originally, he did not want to face the Dark Night King, but because of the Heavenly Dao Contract, he could not help but come. Who would have thought he would obtain such significant benefits?

Although he was sharing the spoils of the Oak King with Xu Wenhua and Zuo Qiulin, he alone occupied 50%, which could be said to be a great harvest for him.

"Your Majesty Quan Wang, if there are such good things in the future, you can come to me at any time!"

Xiang Yutian took the initiative to lower his posture. The reason for this was mainly because he knew the efficacy of the Future Sumeru Pill.

Kailan evolved into the Nature Elf Queen temporarily; if there are no surprises, it basically means that Kailan will evolve into a Divine Beast within the next year.
