Chapter 1025: Top-tier Winged Snake (First update, requesting all)

With their foundation built over so many years, the Huizhou Tian Clan naturally possesses a Top-tier Demon Taming Art, but even Top-tier Demon Taming Arts have their differences in quality; furthermore, their Top-tier Demon Taming Art only has five levels, which can only train one up to a Fifth-tier Beastmaster.

"These are five portions of Bloodline Potion; I trust there is no need for me to explain their efficacy!"

Upon learning that they were Bloodline Potions, Tian Wenguang became increasingly excited. These were excellent items for their Huizhou Tian Clan; if used well, they could cultivate two or three Sixth-Rank Experts in a short period, and if their luck was good enough, perhaps a Pseudo-King might even be born.

With these five portions of Bloodline Potion, the prestige of the Huizhou Tian Clan could rise by a significant margin, enough to rival those powers that have a Pseudo-King holding the fort.

At this moment, Tian Wenguang turned his attention to the final compensation.

This was a small snake with wings on its back, about three feet long. Tian Wenguang instantly recognized it as a Winged Snake still in its Infancy Stage.

"This is a Top-tier Spirit quality Winged Snake!"

This was the result of hatching one of the Top-tier Spirit Fairy Eggs that Li Zhangsheng had brought back from the Imperial Capital of the Mucang Empire last time.

As Li Zhangsheng's voice fell, both Tian Wenguang and Tian Jingling were stunned for a moment, followed immediately by expressions of wild joy.

Their Tian Clan naturally possesses Top-tier Spirits, but the entire family combined definitely does not have enough to count on one hand, which shows just how rare Top-tier Spirits are.

Moreover, this Winged Snake is still in its Infancy Stage, making its cultivation value even higher; crucially, it also possesses the Medium Commander species and a Pure Teng Snake Bloodline.

Even among Top-tier Spirits, it ranks as excellent.

"Many thanks to His Majesty for the generous gift; the Tian Clan is eternally grateful! In the future, whenever there is a place where the Tian Clan is needed, we will surely not shirk even at the cost of our lives!"

Tian Wenguang did not decline and happily tucked them away, while simultaneously beginning to pledge his loyalty; as for how much of it was sincere, only he knew.

Li Zhangsheng immediately seized the opportunity and nodded, saying, "Very good, there just happens to be one matter that requires your Tian Clan's help!"

At this moment, Tian Wenguang felt a chill in his heart, fearing that Li Zhangsheng would ask for something the Tian Clan could not do.

How could a matter entrusted by a King be a simple one?

Tian Wenguang still bit the bullet and said, "Please give your orders, Your Majesty!"

"Don't your Huizhou Tian Clan and the Yecheng Zu Clan hold the shares for the Elf Plane?"

Li Zhangsheng stopped at the point, because he knew Tian Wenguang was a smart man and could easily guess his purpose.

Tian Wenguang was visibly relieved; he had been afraid it would be an impossible task.

"Rest assured, Your Majesty, I will go find the Zu Clan to discuss this shortly. I believe they will be very willing to cede their shares of the Elf Plane!"

"Very good, this is the compensation I have for the Zu Clan!"

This time, Li Zhangsheng took out a Jade Box and, not fearing that Tian Wenguang would embezzle it, placed it directly in front of him.

Inside the Jade Box were five portions of Bloodline Potion and the *Taishang Heartless Demon Taming Art*, the latter also only having seven levels.

As for why the compensation for the Zu Clan was not as good as the Tian Clan's, the reason was simple: of the two great clans' shares regarding the Elf Plane, the Tian Clan held sixty percent, while the Zu Clan only had forty percent.

Soon, Tian Wenguang and Tian Jingling left the Chongming Palace with awe.

Not until they had left the Imperial Palace did the two grandfather and granddaughter, who were walking in a hurry, look at each other; one could see an expression of relief on both their faces.

Tian Jingling could not help but stare at the Jade Box Tian Wenguang was holding and asked via voice transmission, "Grandfather, aren't you going to open it to see the Zu Clan's compensation?"

It would be a lie to say Tian Jingling was not curious about the Zu Clan's compensation; she was just afraid that Li Zhangsheng would favor one over the other and give the Zu Clan better compensation than the Tian Clan.

"No!"

Tian Wenguang rejected Tian Jingling's suggestion, then said in a serious tone, "Jingling, you are not young anymore; when will you be able to become a bit more mature?"

"Grandfather, I understand."

Tian Jingling lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking.

Seeing Tian Jingling like this, Tian Wenguang could only sigh softly. He doted on this granddaughter very much, but it was precisely his indulgence that made Tian Jingling continue to act as she pleased, making it difficult for her to listen to others' suggestions.

But times are different now; the Langya Kingdom has changed hands, and now the Langya Kingdom is facing a reshuffling of the landscape. Their Huizhou Tian Clan must make changes; this is a crisis, but also an opportunity. If they can get a piece of the pie, it will be enough to take the family's power to the next level.

In the Chongming Palace, Li Zhangsheng toyed with the Space Ring in his hand.

This ring was left behind by Tian Wenguang before he left, and inside it were piled a large number of Crystal Coffins, each containing a corpse of a Moon Elf.

This was the entire stock of the Huizhou Tian Clan, though it barely exceeded a hundred in total.

Among them, there were only three from the Moon Elf Royal Family.

The reason there were so few was mainly because the number of Moon Elves was already very scarce, and coupled with the wanton capture by the slave-hunting teams of the Huizhou Tian Clan and the Yecheng Zu Clan, the number of Moon Elves continued to decrease as time passed.

In addition to these hundred Moon Elf corpses, the Huizhou Tian Clan had also specially prepared dozens of live Moon Elves, but they had come in a hurry and it would take another day or two to have them delivered.

Regarding this batch of Moon Elves, Li Zhangsheng would naturally not kill the goose that lays the golden eggs; instead, he would provide them with the safest place to rest and recuperate, living carefree lives without having to worry about slave-hunting teams anymore. The price was just drawing some blood every now and then, which could be considered a win-win.

"I hope the Yecheng Zu Clan has just as much of a harvest!"

Li Zhangsheng thought to himself. If the Yecheng Zu Clan's contribution was about the same as the Huizhou Tian Clan's, he could probably gather half of the Elf King Essence Blood needed for Kailan's next evolution.

To evolve a Demon Pet into a Divine Beast, the required Essence Blood is far more than before; according to Li Zhangsheng's estimation, it would take about 10—30 jars.

The reason for such a large gap depends mainly on the difference between Divine Beasts; ordinary Divine Beasts only need about ten jars and cannot exceed twenty, while Top-tier Divine Beasts require at least twenty jars, and powerful ones require even more Essence Blood.

This knowledge was obtained from the inheritance of the Hundred Victories King. The Hundred Victories King possessed a Divine Beast and even cultivated a Top-tier Divine Beast, so he was relatively knowledgeable in this regard.

In less than two hours, the Yecheng Zu Clan finally sent someone; those who came were the Zu Clan Leader and his clansmen.

As expected, the Zu Clan chose to compromise, offering up all their shares of the Elf Plane, as well as the Moon Elves and Moon Elf remains that had not yet been sold.

Compared to the Huizhou Tian Clan, the Yecheng Zu Clan's contribution was slightly inferior, differing by about twenty percent.

Li Zhangsheng exchanged a few polite words with the two from the Zu Clan and then dismissed them.

After the two from the Zu Clan left the Chongming Palace, Li Zhangsheng said to Zuo Qiulin, "Elder Zuo, have the Tiantai Sect spread the word about this as soon as possible. I believe the situation in the Langya Kingdom will be able to stabilize a bit."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Zuo Qiulin nodded in agreement. Li Zhangsheng had pardoned the Huizhou Tian Clan, who had deep ties with the Langya Kingdom Imperial Family; as long as this was spread, he believed other powers that were also in a state of panic would soon send representatives over.

Besides stabilizing the situation in the Langya Kingdom, there might even be unexpected gains.
