Chapter 775: Days of Harvest (Second update, requesting everything)

In an instant, the secondary ancestral golden dragon turned into a streak of white light and was finally recalled by Xiang Yutian.

Xiang Yutian felt a pang of heartache; the flesh and blood lost by the secondary ancestral golden dragon contained some of the ancestral golden dragon's Bloodline Imprint, and it would take some time before the secondary ancestral golden dragon could fully recover.

During this period, the strength of the secondary ancestral golden dragon would be negatively affected to a greater or lesser extent.

By this moment, the Kailing Empire's team had recalled all their Demon Pets.

Except for Xiang Yutian, the other 19 people had all lost main Demon Pets, with some losing one or two and others three or four, leaving dozens of Demon Pet corpses piled up on the ground, which looked quite spectacular.

After the dust settled, the Kailing Empire's team glared fiercely at Li Zhangsheng's side, though many also hung their heads with expressions of despair, especially the two Senior Pseudo-Kings and one New Pseudo-King.

The two Senior Pseudo-Kings had each lost two Demon Beast-level Demon Pets, and now they were no different from the New Pseudo-King.

That New Pseudo-King had lost the only Demon Beast-level Demon Pet in his possession; now he held the name of a Pseudo-King in vain, but lacked the actual strength of one.

Xiang Yutian frowned; compared to his teammates, his mood was not too bad, as his losses could be considered minimal.

"Let's go!"

Xiang Yutian knew clearly that things were beyond saving, and staying here would be of no use and would only lead to mockery from their opponents, so he led his teammates away.

Wu Zetao looked at Li Zhangsheng and asked, "Should we pursue?"

"Do not pursue a desperate foe. Besides, what would it matter if we did? We cannot take their lives, nor can we forcibly seize the Demon Heart and Heavenly Dao Scroll. Rather than wasting time, it is better to plunder points as quickly as possible and secure more seats in the Heavenly Dao Secret Realm."

Li Zhangsheng shook his head. To be honest, he coveted the treasures carried by Xiang Yutian and the others, but unfortunately, he could not kill them. If he were to just snatch their treasures, believe it or not, they would fight to the death, and it would trigger unpredictable consequences—for instance, some Kailing Empire team member might voluntarily offer their own neck to Aixi's claws...

Although such a thing had never happened in the Southern Region, it had occurred once in the Northwest Region, ending in a complete mess.

Even if such a thing didn't happen, if you defeat an opponent, that is one thing, but to plunder all their property on top of that—once the Heavenly Dao Secret Realm ended, they would likely stop at nothing to seek revenge.

As for now, both sides in a group battle are bound to have winners and losers, and losses are certain; everyone on both sides was mentally prepared before the fight, and besides, most people's losses were within their tolerance, so at the very least, they wouldn't seek revenge at all costs.

Even if someone did seek revenge, the target might not necessarily be Li Zhangsheng; everyone present was a potential target, though he had offended the most people.

He had offended the most people, but the probability of revenge was not necessarily the highest; after all, everyone could sense his strength, and anyone wanting to seek revenge on him would have to weigh their own capabilities first—they wouldn't just charge in mindlessly, as that would be no different from throwing their lives away.

The Kailing Empire's team suffered heavy losses, but that did not mean Li Zhangsheng's team had no losses; it was just that their losses were much smaller.

The three Top-tier Pseudo-Kings had no losses, while Zhao Rui and the three Shayi Kingdom contestants all lost one or two main Demon Pets, which were losses within their tolerance.

As for the gains, on the surface, there was only a pile of Demon Pet corpses, but in reality, after defeating the Kailing Empire's team, they had effectively removed their greatest competitor, making them the strongest team and surely increasing their chances of winning seats in the Heavenly Dao Secret Realm.

Out of a spirit of humanitarianism, Li Zhangsheng, Ning Bizhen, and Wu Zetao each dug into their own pockets to provide them with some compensation, promising to create a better environment for everyone to slaughter demons, provided that individual points were guaranteed.

Even if such a promise did not guarantee them a seat in the Heavenly Dao Secret Realm, it still made them ecstatic.

At this time, Li Zhangsheng looked at the mountain of Demon Pet corpses; these were all at least Lord-level Demon Pets, and many were as large as small hills, so even with only a few dozen, they still occupied a significant area.

For Li Zhangsheng, these were the greatest harvest.

However, among these Demon Pet corpses, only a portion were the fruits of Li Zhangsheng and Ning Bizhen's labor, while the rest belonged to others; logically, whoever killed them should own them.

"Everyone, this batch of Demon Pet corpses is useful to me. If possible, I can purchase them at a premium!"

Li Zhangsheng was not short on ordinary resources, and for this batch of corpses, he would spare no cost.

"Brother Li is too polite."

While saying that, Wu Zetao did not give them to Li Zhangsheng for free; this was not because he was stingy, but because others had a share in them, and he could not represent everyone entirely.

Everyone had different thoughts; if he represented everyone and gave them to Li Zhangsheng for free, others might not show it, but they would feel unhappy in their hearts, thinking he was being generous with other people's property.

In that case, the team's morale would be divided.

"Then let's decide it this way!"

What Li Zhangsheng lacked least were ordinary resources; using these ordinary resources to exchange for precious Demon Pet corpses would not make him feel a pang of regret, no matter how much he paid.

Soon, Li Zhangsheng completed the exchange and began to move the Demon Pet corpses.

With so many Demon Pet corpses, many of which were huge in size, even though Li Zhangsheng possessed many Space Rings, he could only fit a portion of them.

He did not waste any, specifically clearing out a space in the Dangkang Xianglian Kongjian to pile up the Demon Pet corpses.

However, because of this, the Dangkang Xianglian Kongjian inevitably became filled with the stench of blood, which was unavoidable; he would only have time to process this batch of Demon Pet corpses after three days.

Li Zhangsheng felt very satisfied; the number of Demon Pet corpses harvested this time could be called the highest in history, and crucially, the quality was also very good.

While the Kailing Empire's team was still licking their wounds, Li Zhangsheng and the others once again embarked on the process of slaughtering demons and searching for the Heavenly Dao Scroll.

In order to obtain more points, the two teams had to split up, with an agreement that if they discovered a demon concentration camp that they could not handle, they would unite again.

At the same time, the distance between the two sides remained close, so that even if an accident occurred, they could provide assistance at any time.

After this battle, unlike the close cooperation of Li Zhangsheng and the others, infighting broke out within the Kailing Empire's team.

As the saying goes, one should worry not about scarcity but about inequality; everyone else in the Kailing Empire suffered losses, but their captain, Xiang Yutian, who should have led by example, remained completely unscathed.

The reason for this discrepancy was mainly related to Xiang Yutian's actions, as he was the first person to recall his Demon Pets.

Xiang Yutian was the strongest in the team, and when he recalled his Demon Pets, he naturally liberated Wu Zetao, who seized the opportunity at that moment to kill quite a few Demon Pets.

It could be said that the death of some Demon Pets present was closely related to Xiang Yutian's actions; for example, the Senior Pseudo-King who owned the Crown Sun Sparrow believed that if Xiang Yutian hadn't recalled his Demon Pets at the critical moment, they wouldn't have been so thoroughly defeated, and his Crown Sun Sparrow wouldn't have been killed.

In the eyes of these people, Xiang Yutian had completely failed to shoulder his responsibilities as a captain.

In fact, this was indeed the case; Xiang Yutian mainly considered his own personal gains and losses, and he also lacked the ability to adapt, otherwise, even if they had been defeated, they would not have been defeated like stray dogs, and their losses would not have been so great.
