Chapter 423: Temporary change of Plans

Immediately as he thought about it, he left the experimental subject inside the room for further observations, as he got outside while the Blood Shadows disappeared.

The first thing he did after getting outside the room was have a look outside, and it seemed that the situation had relaxed, and actually, it felt like it had turned to the same desolate one.

Too bad that it looked like he needed to change his plans, because even though everything seemed so calm, and desolate Tianlong Yun had an eerie feeling about it like it was some kind of setup.

After seeing that little thing Tianlong Yun was assured that these trees possessed some kind of intelligence, even though they seemed a bit inexperienced and afraid of the outside.

Tianlong Yun could clearly understand their fear and inexperience from the way they approached him, and any possible target they had.

These things would take the last step if and only if everything was already set in stone, and their victory was decided.

This could be clearly seen from the fact that they didn't attack him all those times earlier, and just probably observed his pattern and conduct.

Even with the bait, he laid out outside, that was deprived of almost any movement, and logic, these things still showed extreme care and prudence.

But just the fact that these things didn't seem wise or sly enough, it didn't mean that they wouldn't be able to raise a simple trap for him and his people.

Deciding to wait for a little while longer, Tianlong Yun decided to go and pay a visit to his new 'guests' that he had been able to get a hand on during the big fight.

Even though almost all of them had been on the brink of death, and their Qi was blocked from Tianlong Yun, he still had left at least 2 guards per head, ready for any action.

If these guys started moving, then they had the order to swipe the floor first, and explain later, of course, that was as long as they were in the right.

Otherwise, it would be their head that would fall next, and clearly, none of them wanted that, as they had glued their eyes on their targets.

Their targets were still recuperating and recovering from their injuries, but only through their natural physical abilities since they couldn't even use a tiny drop of Qi.

So, even though a considerable amount of time had passed, they had only recovered their external injuries, appearance, and little functions like standing up and walking.

Their internal injuries and organs were still in pieces, and it would take a long time to recover from them. There were also some who seemed that would never heal.

A few of them were still wondering how it was possible that they were alive right now, as they clearly remembered their hearts being pierced like some balloons.

They had no idea where they were, or what did the person who had captured them want from them, but surely it should be some powerful expert, stronger than them.

After all, they weren't easy to be caught by weak experts, and not to mention that their pride and honor didn't allow them to accept something like that.

But that wasn't important right now, as what mattered most was the fact that they were separated from each other, and had no idea about the fate of the others.

Even the Great Grandmother of the Ruthless Princess had woken up, and her injuries were amongst the worst in the crowd.

Not only had she been injured, but she also used that pill to temporarily boost her strength, and hadn't cared about her internal injuries at the time.

While she had sent her two opponents to the death's door, she had been able to only pierce their hearts, so as long as they recovered their hearts they would be in a much better position than she was.

With the lack of her Qi, even her Vampiric blood was having trouble in recovering from her injuries and reinstating her body.

Tianlong Yun felt like he had some free time on his hands, so he could do some messing around, as he started visiting his guests one after the other, making experiments, and arriving at conclusions.

Still, he left out of his rooster, the Great Grandmother of the Ruthless Princess, and the Thirteenth princess herself, all others had him pay a special visit, and steal their bloodline.

Even the two strong experts of the Werewolves clan weren't able to escape his clutches and had their bloodlines removed.

They cursed at him, cursed at the Heavens, had their faces turned purplish red from anger and wrath, but there was nothing they could do but that.

They were even able to move as their hearts had still not recuperated as they should, so any extra movement meant their death.

Even the anger and tantrum they were having made their hearts beat over their ability and capacity, and it seemed like they would explode soon.

They were forced to calm their selves down for the time being, but it was extremely difficult to calm down when one's root was taken away, now they would only be able to whither with time.

The same thoughts was having even Tianlong Yun, these guys had already completed their 'duty' and their strength had fallen by a big margin.

If earlier they were comparable with Soul Formation Realm Cultivators, right now they could compare only with a Nascent Soul Realm 1st or 2nd level cultivator only.

They held no more meaning to him, so he didn't have any reason to let them live anymore, and cause him troubles later, so without thinking twice he sent them towards the Yellow River.

The two experts who had lived for centuries, and had roamed Earth free and unfettered hadn't even calmed themselves down when they felt their hearts explode.

On this was for sure though, Karma was a never forgetting bi*tch, and finally, retribution was on their heads. They had to pay for everything they had done until now.

On the other hand, Eric was truly excited about this, as he finally had the necessary amounts to add these two new bloodlines to his own, but he didn't do it right away, as a thought passed through his mind.

That thought seemed to be an evil one, as there was a devilish grin on Tianlong Yun's face at the moment, but no one else was able to see it since he was alone.

But quickly he recomposed himself and looking at the time he had spent experimenting with these guys he found out that more than a week had passed.

There was nothing he could do about it as this time he had had a truly bountiful harvest, that gave him a lot of benefits.

He felt like his satisfaction at the moment had reached truly great heights, and that most probably he would stay the same for some time.

Without losing much valuable time, he sent his spirit sense outside the Old Pouch to have a look and found out that things had progressed rather well outside, as even that eerie feeling wasn't as strong as before.

This meant that it was time to go outside and try his luck with these weird trees outside, he felt like a kid going treasure hunting, knowing perfectly where the treasure was.

With these thoughts in mind, he once again gathered the 3000 disciples that would partake in this fight and told them specific instructions on how to deal with the trees, and the treasure they contained.

To make them even more excited about the incoming battle, he separated them into groups and told them that they would be rewarded according to their 'catch'.

The more of these things they were able to catch, the more they would be rewarded upon their return, like pills, weapons, equipment, bloodlines, money, women were all included in the rewards list.

Each of the articles held an ugly points value worth, as each of those ugly little shits was worth one such point.

Seeing how big the Nightmare forest was, then they would be able to make a killing as long as they put the necessary work, and seriousness to the 'hunt'.

Hearing all these made the disciples really excited, as this was once a unique opportunity they were having to boost their strength and their rankings between them.

Just a pill, weapon, or equipment was enough for them to seriously increase their strength, and fighting power, not to mention the bloodline of a Vampire, or a Werewolf.

Tianlong Yun was truly satisfied looking at their fighting spirits, as they looked like starving for a fight, and some ugly points.

This would be a true test of fire for them, as he had no plans of interfering and saving their lives. Only the survivors were useful to him, as they would have the capacity to be.

This was a world of the fittest, and those who couldn't survive were not worthy to be rescued. And he made sure to pass this message to them.

Still, he wouldn't let them go there blindly, as he separated them into 30 groups, with 100 people each. Every group had one of the 30 people he took outside the first time.

He didn't choose leaders for each group intentionally, as he wanted to see their abilities, and teamwork as well.

He just made the separation, as he said with a solemn voice,

"I don't care what you do out there, or how you do it, I want results. Only the strong and skilled are revered, as the weak die without knowing why!"

Hearing his words, the whole crowd looked at him solemnly and said in one voice.

"Yes, Patriarch!"

Whoever was there would think that the Heavens were rumbling with that noise, as the next moment, they all disappeared from where they were, and appeared outside…
