GBP Chapter 581 Exempting the Bolan Dynasty from the Ten Thousand Blood Offerings
Chapter 581 Exempting the Bolan Dynasty from the Ten Thousand Blood Offerings
"Master, the Third Prince did indeed travel to the Great Qin Dynasty, but what happened after he arrived there is completely unknown..."
"A wall has appeared on the border of the Great Qin, completely enclosing the entire border region, and my men simply cannot get in..."
The figure in the blood-red robe spoke respectfully.
Upon hearing his words, the Blood Moon Emperor frowned slightly and said, "It's just a city wall! How can it possibly stop you?"
It's just a city wall. Each of his blood guards is no less than a Nascent Soul cultivator. A city wall can't stop them at all.
"Your Majesty, that city wall is no ordinary wall; even I, your subordinate, could not force my way in..."
"Moreover, it's not just us; anyone who isn't from the Great Qin cannot cross that city wall, regardless of their cultivation level..."
The blood-red figure explained.
Upon hearing his words, the Blood Moon Emperor frowned even more deeply.
"Could that city wall be a special magical artifact? But I've never heard of any magical artifact like a city wall before!"
"I ask you in confusion," the Blood Moon Emperor said.
"I am unaware of this matter. During this time, we have remained outside the Qin Dynasty, and other races wishing to travel to the Qin Dynasty have also been blocked outside that city wall..."
"That city wall is very likely a magical artifact, but its specific grade is unknown..."
The figure in blood-stained clothes spoke respectfully.
"So what exactly did you find out during your trip to Qin?"
The Blood Moon Emperor was clearly a little angry.
His third prince suddenly and without warning died some time ago, just before the Qin Dynasty was promoted to the Celestial Dynasty.
He sent people to inquire from various sources and learned that he was very likely to have gone to Da Qin.
Therefore, he dispatched his Blood Guards to Qin to gather intelligence.
However, when the other party returned, they knew nothing about the situation, which made him furious.
"Your Majesty, please calm your anger!"
The figure in blood-stained clothes immediately knelt down and said in a trembling voice.
"Calm down. What have you been doing all this time? You can't even gather information..."
"I spend so many resources every year, yet I end up supporting a bunch of useless people..."
"The Blood Moon Emperor said in a cold voice."
"Your Majesty, it's not like we came up empty-handed this time..."
The figure in blood-stained clothes quickly said.
"We've found out, so hurry up and tell us!"
"The Blood Moon Emperor said in a cold voice."
"Here!"
The figure in blood-red robes dared not delay and quickly relayed the information they had gathered: "We learned from the Musk Deer Clan that people from the Bolan Dynasty had previously passed through their territory, their destination also being the Great Qin. Perhaps the Bolan Dynasty knows something about the Third Prince..."
"The Turbulent Dynasty!"
Upon hearing his words, the Blood Moon Emperor leaned back on his dragon throne and closed his eyes in deep thought.
Now that the Qin Dynasty has risen to power, the status of the human race is increasing day by day.
Anyone with eyes can see that the Qin Dynasty will eventually unify the entire human race.
The Bolan Dynasty was no exception.
This is also why he demanded a million humans from the Bolan Dynasty as food offerings.
After obtaining the blood and flesh of a million humans, they planned to remain quiet for a while and not provoke the humans again.
But now, the Bolan Dynasty has actually come into contact with the Great Qin.
Faced with their pressure, the other side is very likely to seek help from the Qin Dynasty.
If the Qin Dynasty were to find out that they were demanding the blood sacrifice of a million people from the Bolan Dynasty...
The consequences...
Thinking of this, the Blood Moon Emperor suddenly opened his eyes, a blood-red glint flashing in them.
"Blood Rong, go to the Wave Dynasty and tell them we've canceled the one million blood offerings; they don't need to prepare anymore..."
The Blood Moon Emperor stood up and gave the order.
"Ah? Your Majesty, why?"
Xue Rong asked, his face full of confusion.
"You don't need to worry about this matter. Just do as I say..."
"The Blood Moon Emperor said in a deep voice."
"This... here!"
Although Xue Rong was full of doubts, he dared not refute the Blood Moon Emperor and could only nod in agreement helplessly.
Xue Rong accepted the order and left, while Emperor Xue Yue sat back on the dragon throne.
He propped his head up with one hand and muttered to himself, "I hope I'm just overthinking it!"
...............
After leaving the main hall, Xue Rong went directly to the Bolan Dynasty.
Upon learning that the Blood Moon Dynasty had sent people, Li Muyang immediately led his men out to greet them.
"Young Emperor, Li Muyang greets the Blood Moon Emperor's Envoy!"
Li Muyang stood respectfully in front of Xue Rong and bowed.
Behind him, Li Sheng and the others, though looking aggrieved, still bowed respectfully.
For the ruler of a dynasty to treat an envoy with such servility is truly a sin!
"Rise! I have come to convey the decree of the Blood Moon Emperor..."
A hint of disdain flashed in Xue Rong's eyes as he spoke.
"Please speak, Your Majesty's envoy!"
Li Muyang said with trepidation.
The people they sent to the Blood Moon Dynasty hadn't returned yet, but the people from the Blood Moon Dynasty arrived first.
This made Li Muyang very nervous, fearing that the other party had come to demand that they hand over the million-strong human race.
"By imperial decree, the million-strong blood sacrifice of the Bolan Dynasty is waived; there is no need to prepare anything further..."
Xue Rong said coldly.
"what?"
Li Muyang looked up in astonishment at Xue Rong and exclaimed in surprise.
Li Sheng and the others behind him also looked surprised.
They even doubted whether they had heard correctly that the Blood Moon Dynasty had exempted them from offerings of blood.
This is the first time in history!
In the past, whenever the Blood Moon Emperor demanded blood offerings from them, he would increase the amount whenever possible, never decreasing it, let alone waiving it entirely.
"Imperial Envoy, is what you say true?"
Li Muyang asked cautiously.
Upon hearing his words, Xue Rong's eyes flashed with a bloodthirsty light, and he said coldly, "What, you're unhappy that your tribute has been waived? How about we add it back..."
"No, no, no! We're happy, very happy!"
Li Muyang waved his hands repeatedly.
"Humph!"
Xue Rong snorted coldly, said nothing more, and turned to leave.
After he left, Li Sheng and the others surrounded him.
Li Sheng looked at Li Muyang and asked urgently, "Father, has the Blood Moon Dynasty really exempted us from paying tribute? Could there be some kind of conspiracy?"
His tone was full of worry, after all, this matter was just too strange.
If it weren't for the unmistakable aura emanating from Xue Rong, they would have suspected that he was someone else in disguise.
"It shouldn't be fake. I can sense that the other party is very powerful, at least at the Mahayana stage. Such a being has no reason to deceive us..."
Li Muyang shook his head and said.
"But why did they do that?"
Li Sheng asked with a puzzled look on his face.
"Who knows! It can't be that they've had a change of heart!"
Beside him, a minister spoke with a worried expression.
He always felt that the Blood Moon Dynasty was involved in a bigger conspiracy.
"Once the people I sent to the Blood Moon Dynasty return, I'll ask him again..."
"In any case, this is a good thing for us. It saves millions of people from paying tribute, and our Bolan Dynasty won't have to suffer any major losses..."
Li Muyang said in a deep voice.
"Father, since that's the case, should we bring our Third Uncle back?"
Li Sheng looked at Li Muyang and asked.
"No need. Nobody knows what schemes the Blood Moon Dynasty is plotting. If we can get reinforcements from the Great Qin, that would be better. If the Blood Moon Dynasty really has a conspiracy, we won't be in such a passive position..."
Li Muyang shook his head and said.
"Ok!"
Li Sheng nodded; he agreed.
Boom~~
Just then, a loud bang suddenly came from afar.
Li Muyang and the others' expressions changed, and they quickly flew towards the direction from which the loud noise came.
When they arrived at the location where the sound came from, everyone's expression changed.
Everywhere you looked, there were ruins and broken walls.
But there was not a single corpse among these ruins.
There wasn't even a single person in sight.
"Guards, investigate for me! What exactly happened here?"
At this moment, Li Muyang showed no weakness in front of Xue Rong; instead, his face was full of majesty.
