328: Chapter 328 Truth and Lies: Fishing is Real, Training is Real!

At the summit of Zixiao Peak, the thunder faded away.

Shi Jian sat upright above the pool of thunder, his purple and white robes billowing without wind.

The two Golden Core Yao Generals, Shi Pan and Shi Yin, stood below, their expressions respectful.

"Old Ancestor." Shi Pan cupped his fists.

Shi Jian's gaze swept across the two bears. "Transmit my decree: summon all Yao Beasts of the Five Bear Lineages at the second level and above to assemble at the foot of Zixiao Peak."

"Understood."

Shi Pan did not ask any more questions; he turned and let out a heaven-shaking bear roar.

The roar swept across the surrounding peaks, instantly spreading throughout the core of the Myriad Demon Mountains.

In less than an hour.

At the foot of Zixiao Peak, a dark mass gathered.

Over a hundred massive giant bears gathered here, the five lineages—Thunder Bear, Rock, Frost Snow, Dark-Gold, and Primordial—distinctly separated.

There were over 170 Great Yao, ranging from the second to fourth level.

Shi Jian's figure flashed, appearing in the Void Realm.

He leaked only a sliver of his Nascent Soul pressure, and the bears below all knelt in unison, not daring to even breathe loudly, collectively worshipping this Old Ancestor.

"For these past few decades, you have lived very comfortably."

Shi Jian's voice was not loud, but it clearly entered the ears of every bear Yao.

"The core mountains are rich in Spiritual Qi. There is no slaughter, no fighting."

"Those tribes on the periphery fight until their brains are splattered for a few Spiritual Plants; but you? You lie on Spiritual Veins and sleep."

"You do not think of progress, nor do you strive for improvement."

"For so many years, in the entire clan, apart from the Dark Gold Lineage's Old Ancestor, Shi Mo, who dared to take that step and forcibly prove his Golden Core…"

"To this day, I have not seen a second one who dares to seek proof through death!"

"Do the various lineages not have Foundation Establishment Great Yao who have cultivated to the peak of the fourth level? You are all greedy for life and afraid of death, enjoying my protection, and calling yourselves a royal clan."

"You truly disappoint me!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the bears below were as silent as cicadas in winter.

Shi Pan and Shi Yin exchanged glances, both seeing the gravity in each other's eyes.

The Old Ancestor had always been compassionate toward his kin and cared for the members of each tribe; now that he spoke such harsh words, it was clear he was truly determined to reorganize the interior.

"The Yao Race is born to slaughter."

Shi Jian's gaze was indifferent. "Comfort will only make your claws and fangs dull, cause your bloodlust to fade, and leave you without courage or ability."

He raised his right hand, and a wisp of pale blue lightning danced on his fingertips.

The wild, destructive aura instantly attracted the gaze of all the Thunder Bears.

"This is the heaven and earth qi of the Way of Thunder."

Shi Jian cast out the bait. "Do you not want it?"

Below, greed and fanaticism appeared in the eyes of dozens of Thunder Bears; if they could obtain this heaven and earth qi, it would be the key to the Golden Core path!

"It is not just for the Thunder Bear Lineage."

Shi Jian withdrew the lightning and looked down at the entire assembly.

"Today, I issue the 'Hunter's Order'!"

"The Five Bear Lineages, all Great Yao from the second to fourth level, must immediately get out of the Myriad Demon Domain and ravage the four kingdoms of the Human Race."

"The time limit is one year."

"Within one year, every bear must bring me back at least one head of a Human Race Cultivator of the same Realm!"

As soon as this was said, the bears were in an uproar.

Go to the Human Race territories to kill?

"The more you kill, the richer the reward."

Shi Jian ignored the commotion below and continued to announce the rules.

"Bring back one head of the same level, and be rewarded with one third-tier Spiritual Plant."

"Bring back ten, and be rewarded with a Spiritual Mountain, and you may establish your own branch!"

"As for the Thunder Bear Lineage…"

Shi Jian paused, his gaze sweeping across those Thunder Bear Great Yao at the peak of the fourth level.

"One year from now, whoever brings back the most heads will receive this wisp of 'Pale Thunder Fierce Profound Qi' and become the new successor of my Thunder Bear tribe!"

Boom!

The Thunder Bear Lineage was completely in an uproar.

A wisp of heaven and earth qi was enough to make them risk their lives.

"Old Ancestor!"

A Rock Bear at the peak of the fourth level gathered his courage and spoke: "The Human Race territories have Golden Core and Nascent Soul experts guarding them; if we go, isn't that just sending ourselves to our deaths?"

Shi Jian glanced at him.

"I do not care where you go to kill."

"Xuanzhen Kingdom, Qingcang Kingdom, or even the territory of the Taiqing Sect, choose as you please."

"As for the Golden Core and Nascent Soul of the Human Race…"

Shi Jian sneered.

"Shi Pan, Shi Yin."

"Here!" The two Golden Core Yao Generals stepped forward.

"You may provide cover from the shadows. If any Human Race Golden Core or above dares to make a move, suppress and kill them directly; there is no need for hesitation!"

"If it is just a battle between those of the same level, and you die at the hands of the Human Race, then you are simply trash."

Shi Jian stared at the bears below.

"My Bear Clan does not need trash."

"Do you understand?"

"Roar!"

Over a hundred Foundation Establishment bear Yao let out a heaven-shaking roar in unison, their Battle Intent soaring into the clouds.

"Kill the Human Race!"

"Seize resources!"

"Seize the aura!"

The bloodthirsty instinct of the Yao Race was ignited by Shi Jian's words; they were all rubbing their fists and wiping their palms, unable to wait!

"Go."

Shi Jian waved his large sleeve.

Over a hundred high-level bear Yao, like beasts released from a cage, turned into a rolling torrent, rushing out of the Myriad Demon Domain and scattering toward the Human Race territories in all directions.

Shi Pan watched this scene and grinned.

"Old Ancestor, now the four kingdoms of the Human Race will likely be turned upside down."

Shi Jian stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes deep.

"For these ten million years, the Human Race has treated us as Materials for Alchemy and Artifact Refining."

"Now, the roles of attacker and defender have reversed."

"Send a message to Kuang Dou, Bi Luo, Jin E, and Wan Xiang; if the peripheral tribes have the guts, they may also participate in this order."

"I want this Xuanling Continent to tremble uncontrollably the moment they hear the name of the Yao Race, and let them know that now is the era of the Yao!"

Shi Pan received the order and left.

Shi Yin, surrounded by lingering cold air, asked in a low voice:

"Old Ancestor, will the Taiqing Sect take this opportunity to cause trouble?"

"Cause trouble?"

Shi Jian sneered. "Things are not what they used to be. The Shangqing Sect is now in decline, and the old ghost Ziyang does not have much Lifespan left."

"The rest are only the six True Lords: Tongming, Yuanshang, Fangyi, Ziyan, Mingyuan, and Hanyuan. Among them, only Fangyi and Yuanshang are Middle Stage Nascent Soul, and Yuanshang is still suffering from injuries that have not yet healed."

"The Shangqing Sect looks like a camel that has starved to death, still bigger than a horse, but in reality, there are very few people who can fight…"

"You worry that Shangqing will make a move, but I am worried that Shangqing will not. If we can really use this to hook one or two big fish, the Heavenly Ape and Flood Dragon domains will form an encirclement with us!"

"The fishing is real, and the training is also real. Whether it is true or false depends on whether Shangqing has the guts to swallow the hook."

Shi Jian sneered. The moment the demon kings of the three domains ate human blood together and placed it on the dining table, the tacit understanding for the three families to divide the humans had already been reached.

Now, the competition between the humans and the Yao is about which side achieves unity first.

Clearly, it was their Yao Race battle line that unified first, thus seizing the initiative and forcing the Human Race to make a move!

One step ahead, every step ahead.

The Human Race must either reach a consensus, or they will only be bled dry by their Yao Race, eventually becoming a dish on the dining table.
