Chapter 1098
"Going against us?"
Ah Bao, standing to the side, was taken aback and looked at Black Jinkang,
"Why didn't you tell me earlier about such an important matter?"
Black Jinkang said:
"I'm not sure, it's just a guess. I heard that a two-headed giant crocodile, which recently broke through to the Empire Level Advanced realm, is fighting fiercely with a Fiery Flame Giant Wolf. They both just recently appeared as Empire Level Advanced realm demon beasts, ambitious and wanting to unify the demon beasts in the forest, claiming dominance."
Upon hearing this, Yang Xiao sneered and said:
"To dominate the Purple Origin Star Forest, it's not that easy. The Snow Lion King has a massive tribe and doesn't dare entertain that thought. Yet, these two-headed giant crocodile and Flame Wolf have the audacity to attempt to unify the demon beasts in the forest?"
Suddenly, Yang Xiao thought that if a demon beast could truly unify the forest, it might not be a bad thing?
"Black Jinkang, what level is your Genetic Evolution now?"
"Boss, I just broke through to Empire Level Primary Level."
Black Jinkang scratched his head a bit embarrassed.
"Ah, what about the Golden Lion King?"
"Boss, Golden Fur is the same as me."
With the Genetic Evolution speed of Black Jinkang and the Golden Lion King, breaking through to Empire Level Primary Level was already quite an achievement.
Yang Xiao thought for a moment and said:
"If we must elevate a demon beast overlord in this Primitive Forest, it must be Black Jinkang. No other demon beast can think of becoming the Demon Beast King."
Black Jinkang was stunned upon hearing this, then laughed and said:
"Boss, my Genetic Evolution Level is too low, how can I become the Demon Beast King?"
"Heh, if I say you can, then you can. Go ask around and find out where those demon beasts have been recently dueling, and notify me immediately once you locate the place."
Black Jinkang said:
"Sure, that's easy. I can just inquire with those demon beasts that come to drink water every day.
Besides, Boss, do you still have the Blessing Pills you used to make?"
Ah Bao said this with some embarrassment, looking at Yang Xiao, and explained:
"The attraction of the Blessing Pills to demon beasts is much stronger than the crystal stone powder-radiated lake water. After you left two years ago, I had no more Blessing Pills and many demon beasts gradually became less obedient."
"Alright, I'll go back and immediately refine a batch of Blessing Pills for you."
After chatting idly with Black Jinkang for a while, Yang Xiao took his leave.
On the way back, Ah Bao asked:
"Boss, is making Black Jinkang the Demon Beast King appropriate?"
"Of course it is. Behind Black Jinkang is our support. What other demon beast has such a background as Black Jinkang? We must control the forest's demon beasts through Black Jinkang to serve our purposes. Otherwise, I'd rather kill all those demon beasts than let them form a unified alliance against us."
After returning to Guangfu City, Yang Xiao instructed Ah Bao to send people to collect the raw materials for refining Blessing Pills and went to the inn to find the Eldest Prince Wanyan He.
In the inn, Yang Xiao found Wanyan He and the others. As soon as everyone saw Yang Xiao, they gathered around, each looking at him with admiration and awe.
Even the always aloof and proud Liang Bao bowed his head humbly in front of Yang Xiao now.
Yang Xiao's status indeed shocked them, and for the past few days, they had been sighing repeatedly,
"Why is it that graduates from the same Flying Leopard Academy, like Yang Xiao, are so outstanding? He's already the Great Chief of Purple Origin Star. Alas, why is there such a vast gap between people?"
"Exactly, I always thought I was quite capable, but compared to Yang Xiao, it's a complete defeat. Yang Xiao is truly the winner in life!"
...
Wanyan He saluted to Yang Xiao with a fist and bow, saying:
"Greetings, Yang Leader!"
Yang Xiao was taken aback, then laughed heartily and said:
"He brother, there's no need to be so formal. We agreed that we are brothers? Also, Liang Bao, Fan Chen, Wang Qian, don't look at me with those eyes—don't idolize me, I'm still the same as before, just an ordinary person. If you think highly of me, just call me brother and we can be friends."
Gong Yu laughed and said:
"We didn't know your identity before. Now that we know, how can we act like this?"
Yang Xiao waved his hand and said:
"I regard everyone as brothers. If you don't treat me as a brother, then it would be too much of an outsider."
Seeing Yang Xiao's open and honest attitude, everyone warmed up inside and no longer restrained themselves over Yang Xiao's identity, continuing to interact with him as a brother and friend as before.
Yang Xiao asked the Eldest Prince,
"How are the negotiations with the other empire's representatives?"
"Yang brother, no issues. I personally held a meeting with Hai Mu of the Youming Empire and representatives of over a dozen other empires. We reached a consensus: when the Witch Star's transportation ship arrives in a few days, we'll return to the Witch Star to report the situation to our emperors face-to-face, deciding to join forces to resist the Great Dragon Empire."
"Good!"
Yang Xiao nodded and said:
"He brother, when you return, you can directly tell your father that I can represent the Guangfu Clan of Purple Origin Star, and form an alliance with your Flying Leopard Empire,
as long as you join forces with the Youming Empire on Witch Star to restrain the Great Dragon Empire. I can ensure you have a 20% crystal distribution share."
Wanyan He nodded,
"Don't worry, Yang brother, once I return, I'll immediately report to my father. He will certainly be very pleased to obtain an additional 5% crystal distribution share and forming an alliance with you is something our Flying Leopard Empire is most eager for."
Yang Xiao intentionally sighed and said:
"He brother, I'm doing all this to help you secure the throne. With the Great Dragon Empire having its crystal distribution share reduced by me, they will surely harbor resentment. I'm worried that in their anger, they might dispatch troops to attack us, which would be disastrous for me."
Wanyan He, not being a fool, immediately patted his chest and said:
"Rest assured about that. Our Flying Leopard Empire will surely join other empires in deterring the Great Dragon Empire from retaliating against you. If the Great Dragon Empire forcibly sends troops to invade you, I estimate we can threaten the Great Dragon Empire on Witch Star."
Yang Xiao nodded with satisfaction and said:
"He brother, as long as you are willing to strive hard, I will surely support you in securing the imperial succession rights."
...
Ah Bao quickly gathered a large amount of raw materials for refining the Happiness Pill for Yang Xiao.
A few days later, the Witch Star's spaceship arrived at Purple Origin Star, and representatives from various empires carrying crystal stones boarded the ship to return to Witch Star.
After seeing off Wanyan He and the others, Yang Xiao devoted himself to the Happiness Pill refining work.
More than ten days later, Yang Xiao successfully refined several thousand Blessing Pills.
Ah Bao ran to Yang Xiao's secluded pill refining place,
"Great Chief, Black Jinkang came to find me. The demon beasts will gather in a valley tomorrow to select the Demon Beast King through combat."
Hearing this, Yang Xiao sighed,
"Truly raising a tiger invites disaster; these demon beasts have been using my crystal stone powder-fortified lake water to enhance their Genetic Evolution speed for free, and now each feels powerful and independent, wanting to unify the demon beasts and jointly oppose humans. Heh, they're just ingrates, repaying kindness with enmity!"
