80: Copy War
There were seven Orc warriors, two of whom were Lingzhe Fourth Rank, and the remaining five also possessed the strength of Lingzhe Third Rank.
His Soldiers numbered up to one thousand, with four hundred Advanced Grade units, all around Lingzhe First Rank strength.
Although the Orc side's overall strength was greater than South Korea and Half-elf.
The five Orc Lords each harbored their own intentions, their unity was lacking, and none of them wanted their own subordinates to die in battle.
Because if their subordinates died, their strength would decrease, and their status would naturally follow suit.
Everyone wanted to gain an advantage without effort and were unwilling to pay a price.
For a time, the three forces were in a stalemate, merely engaging in verbal sparring.
Among the five Orc Lords, the one whose strength reached Lingzhe First Rank was the Lord of the Tiger-Men Tribe.
His name was Ci Hu, and while his strength was formidable, he was more skilled in schemes and stratagems.
Instead of the bravery of a tiger, he possessed the cunning of a fox.
The remaining four Lords were the Dog-man Lord, Leopard-man Lord, Cow-man Lord, and Snake-man Lord.
"Even if all of you combine, you won't be our match. Today, we'll pretend we didn't see you, so hurry up and get lost."
Ci Hu spoke with a look of disdain and contempt.
In fact, the main reason was that the opponent's strength was also not weak, and if they truly fought, his side would likely suffer heavy losses.
If the opponent only had three to five hundred people, Ci Hu wouldn't bother with idle talk and would directly kill them.
"Heh, they look down on us, don't they?"
Among the three Lords from South Korea, the leader was Jin Tienan, who teased the three Half-elf Lords.
"A dungeon can only be cleared once, and it's clearly too late to go to another place now. If you were so confident you could take us down, you would have already acted, would you still be here blabbering?"
Among the three Half-elf Lords, the leader was Bu You, who spoke directly and to the point.
However, all three parties had vigilant expressions on their faces, not daring to relax in the slightest, in case the other party suddenly launched a sneak attack.
"Even if I don't contend with you, only one person from one of your sides can enter the dungeon. What will you do then?"
Ci Hu changed the subject, dropping a bombshell in an attempt to dismantle the possibility of cooperation between the two sides.
"Big Tiger, everyone has been in the Ten Thousand Races Battlefield for more than a day or two; those who have survived until now are all shrewd. This method of sowing discord is too old-fashioned; try something new, maybe I'll fall for it."
Jin Tienan sneered, looking at Ci Hu as if he were looking at an idiot.
"How about this, I'll give each of you a hundred spirit stones, and you let me in? Consider it making friends."
Bu You said with a serious expression.
"A hundred spirit stones? Hahahaha, Half-elf, are you of impure blood, have you become stupid from underdevelopment? Are you trying to give alms to beggars here?"
Ci Hu rolled his eyes, mocking wildly, then continued to provoke Jin Tienan: "Human, the Half-elf treats you like a beggar? Do you still want to cooperate with him? It's clear that in the end, you won't be the ones entering the dungeon."
The other four Orc Lords also burst into laughter, their laughter full of ridicule.
"How about this, I'll offer five hundred, five hundred for each person, how about that? Give me some face, let's be friends?"
Jin Tienan mimicked Bu You's tone, looking quite similar.
Bu You's face turned pale then green with anger, almost erupting on the spot.
Just then, a Dog-man Lord looked into the distance, which was the direction Yang Qianhun and others were approaching from.
His face showed great surprise: "So many people, there must be a thousand. Why does the one leading them feel so familiar? Where have I seen him before?"
"Cao, that person is Yang Qianhun, the human who killed many of our Orc Lords."
The Niu Ren Lord pointed at Yang Qianhun in the distance, saying angrily.
"The Ten Thousand Races Battlefield is so vast, and we couldn't find this Yang Qianhun, but I didn't expect him to deliver himself to us today."
The Snake-man Lord said in a sinister tone.
"I remember the Dragon Man Clan and several tribes jointly issued a wanted poster for Yang Qianhun; his head seems to be worth one hundred thousand spirit stones, right?"
The Leopard-man Lord saw Yang Qianhun, his mouth almost watering, his eyes shining as if looking at a treasure.
"Hey, I think we can put aside the dungeon for now; it's not going to run away anyway. How about our three sides unite and take down Yang Qianhun?"
A scheme immediately arose in Ci Hu's mind, and he asked Jin Tienan and Bu You.
Bu You had just heard their conversation and was also very tempted by the one hundred thousand spirit stones.
He immediately retorted: "The other party has quite a number of people; even combined, we are only twice his number. How will the spirit stones be divided?"
"I have no objection; I'm happy to get spirit stones. It's just, how can I trust you?"
Jin Tienan said indifferently, but expressed skepticism about the truthfulness of Ci Hu's conversation.
Even if they really worked with them to kill Yang Qianhun, where would they get the spirit stones then?
How much would they get? What if they didn't give it?
"I understand your concerns. If you agree to a three-three-four split, with me getting four and you two getting three each, I can immediately swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao. After the matter is done, I will first give each of your sides ten thousand spirit stones as a deposit, and the remaining twenty thousand will be given to you within two days, how about that?"
Ci Hu smiled slightly, trying his best to show a benevolent expression.
"Wait, when you give us the spirit stones, you must ensure our safe departure. This point must also be included in the Heavenly Dao oath."
After a moment of thought, Jin Tienan decisively added.
The Ten Thousand Races Battlefield records: Once a Heavenly Dao oath is made, if the oath is violated, one will be obliterated by the Heavenly Dao.
So, when Jin Tienan and Bu You heard that Ci Hu was going to make a Heavenly Dao oath, they no longer doubted the truthfulness of their conversation.
As long as Ci Hu made the Heavenly Dao oath, they would help Ci Hu kill Yang Qianhun.
Then, Ci Hu would have to fulfill his oath and give them thirty thousand spirit stones each.
If he broke the promise and didn't give it, he would be obliterated by the Heavenly Dao.
"Alright, after you make the Heavenly Dao oath, when Yang Qianhun approaches, we will act together and kill them."
Bu You said decisively.
"Alright, I like your straightforward answer. I will now make the Heavenly Dao oath..."
Before Ci Hu could finish speaking, a faint voice came from a distance.
"Come out, Vermilion Bird."
These five short words echoed continuously in the ears of everyone present, like the chiming of a bell from beyond the heavens.
The next second, an anomaly suddenly occurred.
An extremely powerful fiery red energy wave erupted from Yang Qianhun's location, but it did not affect the surrounding Spirit General.
Then, countless flames rose from his feet, instantly forming a flame array.
Immediately after, the flames of the entire array simultaneously burst forth with dazzling red light, forming a red light pillar that shot straight into the sky.
The entire red light pillar emanated terrifyingly immense spiritual power fluctuations, continuously spreading outwards, enveloping Yang Qianhun and others within the light pillar.
"Appear now, Vermilion Bird."
The next second, the red array on the ground suddenly disappeared, and the entire red light pillar slowly faded.
A majestic fiery power soared into the sky, as if it wanted to tear the firmament apart.
As a clear, loud, and distant sound rang out.
A fiery divine bird, hundreds of meters long with a wingspan of thousands of meters, appeared before everyone as the red light pillar vanished.
