Chapter 94: Departure
Zhang Ping hovered in the air, his figure appearing incredibly small compared to Li Zhan, who was a hundred meters tall and resembled a giant.
But that imposing aura was something Li Zhan couldn't ignore.
He raised an eyebrow and nodded, saying, "Alright. My requirements are simple: the War Bear clan must acknowledge the Banshee clan's rule over the Western Poison Forest, and at the same time, help appease the other beast clans."
"I don't care about anything else."
"Not just the War Bear clan, but all the beast races in the Western Poison Forest can live in their own way as long as they don't harm the interests of the Banshee clan or cause major trouble."
Zhang Ping understood Li Zhan's concerns; that Poison Dragon had indeed gone too far when he was in power.
The rampant plundering of resources was secondary; that guy not only suppressed the War Bear clan, but also found an excuse to kill the clan leader every generation.
Any other beast race that might pose a threat to it will be identified by the Poison Dragon using the Prophecy Tablets, and either subdued or killed.
Under this oppressive rule, all the tribes had long been driven to their breaking point, but they lacked the strength to resist the Poison Dragon.
Muya, standing to the side, remained silent. They were now in control; the specific conditions had been agreed upon beforehand, and they would meet the War Bear Clan's demands as long as their interests weren't threatened.
As long as the female demon clan can develop steadily after Zhang Ping leaves, and with the Dragon Spirit Wood, their strength will naturally be worthy of the position of overlord over time.
"Human, are you serious?!" Li Zhan abruptly stood up, his enormous eyes fixed on Zhang Ping, his massive bear paws clenching and unclenching instinctively. Zhang Ping's request was completely different from what he had expected!
"Of course it's true." Zhang Ping smiled and pressed his palm down lightly.
Thump! Li Zhan suddenly felt his flesh and blood tremble uncontrollably, and his massive body crashed back to the ground.
"Don't get agitated," he said calmly.
Upon hearing this, Li Zhan, who had just been terrified by losing control of his body, felt a little relieved. He glanced at Zhang Ping with suspicion and became secretly wary.
"Your power... is truly impossible to defend against."
The dust that had been stirred up settled.
Li Zhan was completely convinced by Zhang Ping. In the following negotiations, as long as Zhang Ping and Mu Ya's requests were acceptable, it obediently nodded.
But just before the end, Li Zhan suddenly spoke up: "What about that Tiger Demon City to the east?"
More than a month ago, it led powerful beasts to attack Tiger Demon City, intending to defeat the demons and then use the momentum of the great victory to consolidate its power and rebel against the Poison Dragon.
Unfortunately, they failed; those demons were too troublesome.
Zhang Ping raised his hand: "Leave Tiger Demon City to me."
Hearing him say that, Li Zhan felt relieved.
With the matter resolved, Zhang Ping left with Mu Ya. Before leaving, he glanced at Li Zhan standing at the cave entrance.
A golden light flashed in his eyes.
Li Zhan immediately felt his blood boiling uncontrollably again. He tried desperately to suppress it, but he couldn't completely resist it.
Whoosh! Two streaks of light shot away into the distance.
Surrounded by ancient trees, Li Zhan gazed in the direction where Zhang Ping had disappeared, and only then did he feel his blood calm down.
"What...what is this power?" Its bear face was filled with confusion.
"When I see my master again, I must ask him for advice. According to him, such strange humans should not exist in this place."
"However..." Li Zhan muttered to himself, "These humans seem only concerned with the banshee race, showing no interest in how the beast race develops. Letting the banshees sit in that position isn't necessarily a bad thing. As long as the beast race can become strong, does it really matter who the overlord is?"
As it gazed at the sky where Zhang Ping had departed, its gaze gradually became serious.
……
Two days later.
On the newly renovated Longshan Mountain.
The number of banshees has exceeded 100,000 and is still slowly increasing. However, those arriving now are mostly from small, isolated groups and scattered banshees.
After entrusting the important task of managing the Western Poison Forest to Muya, Zhang Ping prepared to leave.
It's been almost half a year since I left Lanjiang City. Although I learned from the prophecy tablet that the demons were blocked in the Ghost Sky Mountains, Lanjiang City should be safe.
But if you leave for too long, there's no guarantee that something won't happen.
The business here is basically done, and there's no point in staying any longer except to indulge in a life of pleasure.
"Zhang Ping, are you really leaving?" Mu Xiaoya pouted and reluctantly tugged at Zhang Ping's clothes.
Zhang Ping's black clothes had been destroyed in many battles, and he was now wearing a black-trimmed, red-based trench coat woven by the female demons. Beside him was a mahogany box that looked like a coffin, inside which thick ice encased the dragon root.
"It's time to go." Zhang Ping smiled and rubbed Mu Xiaoya's head, then squatted down and pinched her little cheek.
"If we run into trouble, send someone to the Western Poison Forest. I'll bring the beast tribe to help." Mu Ya was followed by Mu Qing. These past few nights, the two of them had spent the most time with Zhang Ping.
"Okay." Zhang Ping nodded with a smile, his gaze sweeping over Mu Ya, who was dressed in red leaves and wearing a crown.
Her former mature and sophisticated aura has been replaced by a more solemn and dignified presence after she dons the crown.
"Let's go!"
He soared into the air, disappearing into the clouds. Before disappearing into the clouds, he turned back to look at the flat ground on the mountaintop, his gaze always following the banshees who were with him.
My gaze swept across the faces, a bustling crowd, all exquisitely beautiful.
This journey was originally undertaken to escape with severe injuries after being pursued by Black Tiger. Who would have thought that by a twist of fate, it would change the landscape of the Western Poison Forest and reverse the fate of the female demon clan.
Really good fortune.
Withdrawing his gaze, he waved his hand and disappeared into the sea of clouds under the watchful eyes of the female demons.
Only after Zhang Ping's figure completely disappeared did Mu Ya and the others slowly turn their gaze away.
"Okay, don't be sad," he patted Mu Xiaoya, who was still pouting.
"Once you've adapted to the power, just go find him in the Great Wei."
Mu Xiaoya pried her sister's hand away and muttered, "It's not like you picked her up. Of course you're not sad that she ran away."
"..."
"Ouch!" Mu Xiaoya was hit on the head and ran away, clutching her head.
……
The wind howled past my ears, and the clouds rushed past.
"Screech—!"
A roar came from above, and a massive figure swept across the sky, blotting out the sun.
Below, a tiny figure weaves through the clouds, with a long, mahogany coffin-like box floating beside it.
Having confirmed that he was on the right track, Zhang Ping accelerated again.
He planned to travel upstream along the lower reaches of the Guitian River.
After the upper reaches of the Ghost Heaven River merged, they became the Ghost Heaven Mountain Range, which was the front line of the battle between the Great Wei and the demons. It was the shortest route to take.
Moreover, Black Tiger City is located near the lower reaches of the Ghost Heaven River. It's convenient to take revenge on those who chased me back then!
"If I remember correctly, that black tiger can control the wind and summon demons. If I could brand it with animal markings... that would be great!"
The strong wind tousled Zhang Ping's black hair, and he moved like an arrow, suddenly accelerating.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
The speed of the flying beast pattern far exceeded that of the Qi and Blood Soaring. The blurry outline of Black Tiger City could now be clearly seen.
In Black Tiger City, demons and monsters roam freely, their forms varying in size and shape.
In the very center of the city stood a royal palace.
Inside the royal palace, the Black Tiger King grabbed a white, tender boar demon with his claws, put it in his mouth, and bit down with his blood-red maw, the minced meat overflowing from between his sharp teeth.
Suddenly, sensing the approaching powerful aura, the Black Tiger King's expression turned fierce, and he charged out of Tiger Demon City with murderous intent.
