This night was destined to be a sleepless one. The four of them vowed to split up and take action as soon as they sensed the appearance of the Demonic Bloodstone. This caused resentment among the forces throughout the South City.
However, none of the four felt guilty. Putting aside the fact that this world is inherently a dog-eat-dog world, they couldn't just sit idly by and watch the formation process of the Demonic Bloodstone.
"Brother Yuan, this is too tiring!"
Little Fatty walked in with his head drooping. He placed a pile of Demonic Bloodstones on the table, numbering at least thirty.
"You've worked hard!" Jiang Yuan patted the chubby boy on the shoulder.
The Demon Lord continued releasing the Demon Pattern Divine Bloodstones until 3 a.m., so the entire Oath-taking team barely rested and was constantly collecting the Demon Pattern Divine Bloodstones.
"I'm fine, but those guys in the reserves, they're really exhausted!" Little Fatty tried to sound cheerful.
"The evening was my time to shine, so I reaped quite a lot!"
Leng Yue poured out a pile of Demonic Bloodstones from her storage ring, totaling more than fifty. "If the search area weren't so vast, I think I could have obtained even more Demonic Bloodstones!"
"Brother Yuan, just who is this Demon Lord?! Each Demon Pattern Divine Blood Stone is worth a hundred points of Divine Blood Energy. I don't know how many Demon Pattern Divine Blood Stones have been used tonight alone!" Little Fatty sighed.
When Ning Yanlan heard this question, she was silent for a moment before saying, "The Demon Lord is the most powerful king of the Demon Spirit Clan. Even with his strength sealed, he can easily destroy a safe zone!"
Jiang Yuan's expression hardened; he had never heard Ning Yanlan mention these things before.
"Actually, after the cataclysm on Earth, it wasn't just the Holy Spirit Clan that ravaged the planet!" Ning Yanlan shook her head, then continued, "The Eastern Hemisphere, illuminated by the Golden Gate, is the Holy Spirit Battlefield, ruled by the Holy Spirit Clan, with the Holy Lord being the strongest; while the Western Hemisphere, shrouded by the Crystal Stele, is the Demon Spirit Battlefield, ruled by the Demon Spirit Clan, with the Demon Lord being the strongest!"
"Damn it, you're just trying to fool me!" Jiang Yuan cursed at the Myriad Realms Origin Dragon in his heart. You found the strongest member of the Demon Spirit Clan for me to resist? Are you out of your mind or am I out of my mind?
Ning Yanlan glanced at Jiang Yuan, then asked, "So what should we do now?"
Jiang Yuan fell into deep thought, and after a while said, "I suggest that everyone who has sworn an oath, except for me, should evacuate from the South City!"
His idea was well thought out. The Demon Lord's power was enough to destroy the entire South City, and the case mentioned by the Temple Spirit fully proved this point. In the past, the places where the source of the battlefield appeared would become hell on earth. He himself was planted with the soul of the battlefield and could not escape his fate, but the others who swore oaths could still escape this place.
Why?
As expected, both Little Fatty and Leng Yue looked puzzled, completely unaware of Jiang Yuan's reason for saying that.
“South City will become the eye of the storm. If you don’t use the Demon God’s Blood, you won’t be able to compete with others here!” Jiang Yuan said truthfully.
"And what about you?" Ning Yanlan asked.
"Me!" Jiang Yuan shrugged and said, "My cultivation speed can keep up, so you don't need to worry about me!"
"What's there to be afraid of? Let him be strong, the breeze still caresses the mountain! As long as we stand firm, we don't care what kind of monsters they are, we'll just fight them one by one!" Little Fatty said boldly.
“Yes, I’m not leaving either!” Leng Yue shook her head, showing no sign of leaving.
Ning Yanlan took the document and said, "If they don't leave, I can't leave either! After all, we swore an oath to live and die together, how can I abandon you!"
Looking at the three resolute individuals, Jiang Yuan felt utterly helpless. Although he had guessed that this would happen, he hadn't expected them to be so determined, leaving no room for negotiation whatsoever.
"I've been busy all night, I'm going back to catch up on some sleep. Call me if you need anything!" Little Fatty yawned, turned around, and disappeared in a moment.
"You guys take a break, I'll go out and check!" Jiang Yuan was still worried that things would get out of control, so he decided to go out and sound out what was going on.
The matter of the Demon God's Blood has too great an impact, and he must pay close attention to it at all times.
"I'll go with you!" Ning Yanlan put her arm around Jiang Yuan's.
“With the South City in turmoil right now, warlords will inevitably target the Oath, so it’s safer for you to stay at the base!” Jiang Yuan shook his head and rejected Ning Yanlan’s suggestion.
"Then you should keep the Heavenly Soul Child with you; it'll be safer that way!" Ning Yanlan took out the Heavenly Soul Child that she had been carrying with her.
"No need, I'm strong and healthy, I don't need this kind of guard-type battle puppet!" Jiang Yuan didn't accept it. Compared to himself, Ning Yanlan's safety was more important. After all, a spiritual energy type always needs a strong guard to protect them, and Tianhun Tong could perfectly do this job.
However, Ning Yanlan insisted, "I won't let you leave unless you bring the Heavenly Soul Child with you!"
Jiang Yuan gave a wry smile and said, "Don't be stubborn!"
"Well, I've always been this capricious. Take it or leave it!" Ning Yanlan handed over the Heavenly Soul Child, seemingly indicating that Jiang Yuan could take it or leave it. In any case, if he didn't take the Heavenly Soul Child with him, she wouldn't let him leave the base.
"Alright, I'll take it with me!" Jiang Yuan had no choice but to retrieve the Heavenly Soul Child.
Seeing this, Ning Yanlan regained her gentle smile.
"Leng Yue, please take good care of her for me. I'll bring you gifts when I get back!" Jiang Yuan instructed.
"No need for gifts, the best gift you could give me would be if you stopped showing off your love like this!" Leng Yue was speechless with shock. Being bombarded with this kind of public display of affection all the time would cause even a woman with low hormone levels to have a hormonal imbalance!
...
"Little dumpling, you silly goose, you're awake but you're still pretending to be asleep!"
Jiang Yuan rubbed his storage ring, and a cute black and white ball of fur fell to the ground with a thud. If anyone else saw this, their heart would probably melt, but Jiang Yuan was already immune to the little ball of fur's cuteness.
