Dragon Lord: Starting from the daily settlement

"Who are you?"

Looking at Batu, Yun Zhe immediately asked warily.

"You two brothers really do look alike." Batu jumped down from the roof beam and stretched his arms and legs.

"What do you mean by this, sir?"

Yun Zhe took a few steps back, looking around for an opportunity to escape.

This guy is clearly in cahoots with Zhao Ji; he will never surrender easily.

"Trying to run away, huh?" Noticing his gaze, Batu didn't care at all and continued.

"Running like this is too slow. How about this, I'll just go straight there and send you to the underworld to report for duty?"

Having said that, he opened his mouth and bit directly at Yun Zhe.

"monster……"

Yun Zhe's expression changed drastically, and before he could finish speaking, the words were swallowed whole.

He shut his mouth, shook his head, and then opened the door and walked outside.

"Alright, you guys pack up, I'm going back now."

After emerging, Batu took the tiger tally from Zhao Ji, and with a flash, disappeared into the void.

At this moment, Zhao Ji saw that there was no movement inside the room, so he looked inside.

The room was empty, with no sign of Yun Zhe.

A chill ran through him, and he quickly looked away.

Meanwhile, back in the palace, Batu reported the matter to Zhou Yan.

He didn't say much about it. Neither of them were honest, and they might betray him at any time if he kept them around. It was better to get rid of them now.

Even with Yunhai, Zhou Yan didn't believe he would stay so obedient forever. The only reason he was keeping him around now was to control the Yun Kingdom. He would find an opportunity to send him on his way in the future.

Yunhai and Yunluo, standing to the side, indeed had complex expressions.

Yunhai only has two sons, especially Yun Che, whom he genuinely raised, but now he has ended up like this.

As for Yunluo, her joy was mixed with a touch of sadness.

"If there's nothing else, you may leave now."

After checking the time, Zhou Yan opened his mouth and spoke.

"Yes." Batu nodded, and then walked out with Yunhai and Yunluo.

A moment later, the panel appeared.

Daily settlement begins

[Today's Settlement: Slayed the Purple Mansion, seized control of the Cloud Kingdom, and expanded my power.]

[Evaluation: Critical, obtained a copy of "Blood Fiend Forging Techniques," which, when practiced, can solidify blood fiends and forge divine weapons.]

"Blood Fiend Forging Art of War"?

The panel closed, and a spell appeared in his mind. Zhou Yan couldn't help but ponder the name; the spell sounded rather strange just from its name.

I closed my eyes and began to read.

After an incense stick had burned, he finally opened his eyes, revealing a somewhat complicated look.

This method is indeed incredibly profound. It can condense blood and evil energy. If added during the forging of divine weapons and magical treasures, it can enhance their ability to break through spells. In daily life, it can be nourished by blood and evil energy to sharpen its edge and increase its power.

However, this method has a major flaw: the bloodthirsty aura is not easy to find. Bloodthirsty aura often requires large-scale killing to form, but Zhou Yan really didn't know where to find such a thing.

If you can't find it, then if you want to cultivate this method, you have to artificially create bloodthirsty energy. You have to carry out large-scale slaughter and blood sacrifice to refine this bloodthirsty energy.

Doing so would undoubtedly attract the attention of the Tianhe Sword Sect.

Having just killed two disciples of the Tianhe Sword Sect, he didn't want to provoke them any further.

"Let's leave it for now," Zhou Yan thought.

The next morning, the rain gradually subsided.

Outside the capital of Yun Kingdom, a man and a woman slowly descended.

"Master, along the way, demons have been rampant in every country we've visited, so why are there so few in Yun Kingdom?"

The girl had a graceful figure, wore a light purple dress, and had a veil over her face. A purple scale was on her forehead, and her eyes and brows exuded a lively spirit.

His eyes were full of curiosity as he looked around.

"I don't know either." The man was also dressed in a purple robe, but his hair and beard were all white, and his brows were furrowed.

After a moment of contemplation, he continued, "Perhaps the ruler of Yun is a capable man."

"Let's go inside."

"Mm." The girl nodded and followed the man into the city.

Inside the Yun Kingdom's palace, the Yun Kingdom was handling state affairs. Yesterday, the monsters within the Yun Kingdom's territory had been secretly cleared out by Batu, leaving only a few Qi Refining monsters, greatly reducing the pressure on his shoulders.

While we were dealing with it, someone suddenly came to report.

"Your Majesty, an envoy claiming to be from the Kingdom of Ziyun has arrived outside the palace."

"Purple Cloud Kingdom?"

Yunhai frowned, pondered for a few moments, and then said, "Bring him in."

"Yes."

A short while later, a man and a woman entered, led by a guard.

"This humble Taoist priest, Zi Huan, greets the King of Yun Kingdom."

Upon entering the hall, the two immediately bowed.

"No need for formalities, you two." Looking at the two, Yunhai's eyes revealed a strange look.

He could see through the young girl, who was just entering the Foundation Establishment stage, but he couldn't see through the man at all, even with his peak Foundation Establishment cultivation.

"May I ask what brings you two to my Yun Kingdom?"

After the two sat down, Yunhai spoke first.

Looking at Yun Hai, Zi Huan frowned slightly. Why did this person seem so unstable? He then replied, "I am Zi Huan, the Grand Preceptor of Zi Yun Kingdom. I have come here to persuade the King to join the alliance and fight against Xiang Kingdom together."

What a coincidence! I just talked about the situation in Xiang Kingdom last night, and they arrived today.

Yunhai felt a sense of vigilance rising in his heart. Then, another strange movement occurred. Could he use the other party to break free from the control of the dragon?

However, he immediately extinguished this thought as soon as it arose.

That dragon was no match for even his two senior brothers, so this person was probably even less of a threat.

"Gentlemen, the Xiang Kingdom is now very powerful, while my Yun Kingdom is just a small country. What merit do we have to fight against them? Please leave."

"Your Majesty is mistaken."

Zi Huan shook his head and said with a solemn expression.

"The Xiang Kingdom is now tyrannical and extremely arrogant. It has already destroyed the Lin Kingdom, the Han Kingdom, and the Bei Jian Kingdom, and all its citizens have been executed. It has even declared that anyone who does not obey will be killed. Although the Yun Kingdom is far from the Xiang Kingdom, no egg remains unbroken when the nest is overturned. I urge Your Majesty to reconsider!"

"What?"

Yunhai was greatly surprised. How could the Xiang Kingdom have become so brutal in just a few years? He couldn't help but ask.

"Isn't Xiang Kingdom afraid of angering the Tianhe Sword Sect with its actions?"

Large-scale blood sacrifices are forbidden among humans, and if anyone violates this rule, the powerful forces of the human race will send people to stop them.

"I don't know either," Zi Huan shook his head and continued.

"Please, Your Majesty, consider this carefully."

"Which countries have joined so far?" Yunhai asked with a serious face.

"The Purple Cloud Kingdom, the Cold Kingdom, the Imperial Spirit Kingdom, Xuan Yang Mountain, and more than a dozen other small kingdoms have all joined the alliance."

"I see." Yunhai said, tapping the table.

"Gentlemen, please allow me to consider this matter. Guards, escort these two distinguished guests away."

Several servants came over and led Zi Huan and the other person downstairs.

Yunhai turned around and ran quickly towards Zhou Yan.
