Chapter 105: Chasing the Tail
The name Lian Yun is well-known among the Demon Clan, not because of Lian Yun's strength, but due to his possession of the Yin-Yang Stage.
A century ago, Emperor Yi used the Yin-Yang Stage to surge in rank, deceiving several Demon Emperors of the Demon Clan, which was a great humiliation for some of the strongest beings in the Demon Realm. Therefore, once the hundred years had passed, several Demon Emperors could hardly wait and pressured the Huaxia Alliance three years ago to eliminate Lian Yun.
These events were known to all Spirits except for the newly awakened or those who had just emerged into the world.
Now seeing Lian Yun's immense power, it was clear that he had risen again. If this news could be conveyed to the Demon Emperors, a substantial reward would surely follow.
However, with Lian Yun revealing his identity, it meant he had no chance to relay any information.
In fact, the other eight had already wiped out the surrounding Spirits and surrounded him. Any sign of movement from him would result in instant annihilation.
But Zhou Tong's step forward caught his attention. "Are you going to take me in? Hmm, following you wouldn't be bad. By the way, my name is Chen Yaojin, a potential partner who could become a Demon Emperor. You better treat me well!"
Zhou Tong remained silent, but a giant wolf appeared beside him.
"Oh wow! Wolf King! Alright, alright, I'll listen to you!" Chen Yaojin immediately conceded.
Wolves are social animals, and within the Wolf Clan, there must be a leader with strong command and strategic planning abilities. After becoming a Spirit, they become coordinators of life.
The Wolf King represents the ruler of the Wolf Clan and is capable of commanding thousands of wolves. Although Chen Yaojin also possessed considerable coordinating abilities, he still fell short compared to the Wolf King.
Nonetheless, Lian Yun felt somewhat surprised; he did not know that the giant wolf Spirit beside Zhou Tong was actually a Wolf King. Chen Yaojin's ability to recognize this indicated that he possessed extraordinary insight.
Zhou Tong felt somewhat satisfied and said, "You have a good eye and know how to assess things appropriately. I can take you on!"
"What? You actually want to set conditions? Are you out of your mind? I'm going to be your Ghost Slave, and at that point, it’s all about you. You can do whatever you want, and yet you still want to negotiate? Hahaha, this is hilarious!"
"Enough nonsense!" Zhou Tong's expression darkened as he shouted.
Chen Yaojin's laughter abruptly stopped, and he immediately squeezed out a bit of mysterious cloud from his forehead.
In fact, Zhou Tong's choice of a Ghost Slave and the contract with one was somewhat special. He believed that flattery and benefits were the foundation of cooperation, so he treated his Ghost Slave the same way. Before signing the contract, he would clarify the terms. As long as he didn’t break his promises first, there was basically no chance for his Ghost Slave to betray him.
Originally, Chen Yaojin could have received some favorable conditions; however, due to his 'ignorance' in mocking Zhou Tong, he was only asked not to waste too much breath without any privileges granted.
Lian Yun smiled slightly at this, thinking that perhaps Chen Yaojin would get along well with Big Head. However, in Lian Yun's heart, Chen Yaojin was not suitable for him.
Zhao Jinlong and Zhao Jinhui's combat abilities were unquestionable, but he still felt that he lacked a strong Spirit for offense. Only then would he have confidence in emerging from Yin Yang City within three years.
Thus, Chen Yaojin was not suitable for him, especially since the latter had already shown signs of rejection upon learning about his identity.
After Zhou Tong signed the contract with Chen Yaojin, the latter stood behind Zhou Tong and said in a low voice, "Master, you follow Cloud Emperor; aren’t you afraid of attacks from several Demon Emperors?"
This was the reason why he didn’t want to follow Lian Yun after knowing his identity; it was also why his expression had soured earlier. He understood that even being associated with Cloud Emperor could bring endless danger. This was also why Lian Yun had previously harmed the Ding Siblings and had a history of causing the deaths of nineteen slaves.
Regarding Chen Yaojin's question, Zhou Tong was not displeased; instead, he smiled slightly and said, "Hehe! Do you have confidence in building a force capable of resisting Demon Emperor attacks by following me? Just now, Young Master Yun, your target was merely the Demon Emperor; that’s probably what it means."
“Pfft~~ You guys? You still want to compete with the Demon Emperor? How naive~~”
Chen Yaojin spat disdainfully, but before he could finish his sentence, he noticed Zhou Tong turning around with a dark expression, and he dared not continue.
“Can we do everything? Otherwise, if we encounter a crisis, you’ll be the first to go to your death!”
“Don’t~~ Big Brother, Boss, please, please, please! We can definitely do it.” Chen Yaojin said in a panic, giving Lian Yun a meaningful glance, hoping Lian Yun would plead for him.
However, Lian Yun replied, “Then we can’t waste any more time!”
No one responded. The group quickly followed Lian Yun towards their target.
“Were there any other Spirits in front of you just now?”
“Master, do you think those other lackeys can compare to me? No, no, no! I was the first to charge out!”
With that, Lian Yun and the others pressed on. Along the way, they encountered some scattered Spirits; everyone ignored them or simply killed those that blocked their path!
The reason was that the Spirits appearing before them had mostly managed to escape the Evil Spirit Tide by sheer luck.
If they had any special abilities, they wouldn’t be foolish enough to block the way of others.
Of course, Lian Yun and the others did attempt to chase after a few, but those Spirits saw Lian Yun and the others from afar and fled immediately. Thus, Lian Yun and his group could only give up.
As they hurried forward, their energy was naturally consumed, but the eleven of them indulged in a bit of spiritual liquid to replenish themselves.
In less than an hour and a half, the thunderous roars in their ears gradually faded away, but Lian Yun and the others encountered a few Evil Spirits!
Beetle Demons, large in size with incredibly hard shells, were relatively weak in speed and combat power. Their primary role had once been to charge and push forward on the battlefield.
As long as a Beetle could break through the local defenses, it often indicated that the side commanding the Beetles was about to achieve victory.
Although Beetle Demons were cannon fodder on the battlefield, they were more valuable to humanity than other Evil Spirits.
This was because their massive bodies contained a significant amount of flesh beneath their shells, allowing for the extraction of a considerable amount of Nutrient Solution.
The value of a single Beetle typically equated to that of two or three other Evil Spirits.
Rather than charging directly into battle, Lian Yun separated from the team and then attacked three Beetles, luring them backward.
Reuniting with Zhou Tong and the others, Lian Yun assisted them in surrounding the three Evil Spirits while he alone left the group to pursue the tail end of the Evil Spirit Tide.
