113: Chapter 113: Equipment Dropped?

"You brute!!!!"

Zhang Gu was startled back to his senses by the deafening roar... which left Shen Yi somewhat exasperated.

He shot a fierce glare at Wang Meng.

"Don't you know I'm discussing matters with an ally!"

"Charging in so recklessly, what kind of behavior is that!"

Wang Meng was completely bewildered, unable to make heads or tails of the situation.

"Lord Shen... how is this my fault?"

Shen Yi felt somewhat helpless... then, looking at the Panshi Blood Essence collected by the soldiers, he cleared his throat and turned to Zhang Gu.

He said, with a hint of reluctance.

"Since you're already here... why not take some with you?"

Seeing this, Zhang Gu was somewhat tempted.

Clearly, he had understood the logic Shen Yi had previously explained... and was also aware of some of Shen Yi's intentions.

Now was the perfect time to propose conditions.

Only at this moment could he reach out and ask for benefits.

But soon, Zhang Gu felt that something was wrong.

He stiffly raised his head, only to see Wang Meng looking at him with murderous intent.

That feeling... if not for Shen Yi holding him back, it seemed as if he would be chopped into mince in the next second.

Seeing this... he could only say helplessly.

"Forget it... these are all the spoils of war for Lord Shen, what logic would there be in my Zhang Family keeping them?"

Shen Yi was visibly relieved.

Even Wang Meng couldn't help but praise him.

"A child worth teaching!"

Zhang Gu: "..."

Then, he continued to speak.

"Regarding the Alliance, I still need to consult my Head Madam."

"The matter here... is not that simple."

"It was the Hu Family that intercepted and killed my Dao Soldiers, which is why my three hundred Dao Soldiers have been reduced to half!"

"My Zhang Family and the Hu Family have an irreconcilable blood feud!"

Upon hearing this... Shen Yi's eyes suddenly lit up, and he patted Zhang Gu's shoulder with great satisfaction.

"You are a talent!!!"

Zhang Gu twitched his mouth, but said seriously.

"This matter will likely succeed, but I only hope, Lord Shen, that you do not treat my Zhang Family as some low-class cannon fodder."

"Otherwise, even if we perish together, my Zhang Family will tear a piece of flesh from you!"

Wang Meng raised an eyebrow... Shen Yi hurriedly waved his hand, reached out, and spat on his palm.

"Deal!"

Seeing this, although Zhang Gu didn't know where this etiquette came from, he also reached out his hand.

Mimicking Shen Yi...

But before he could spit, Shen Yi grabbed his hand.

Zhang Gu could only say with a somewhat distorted expression.

"Deal!"

Shen Yi nodded... he separated one hundred Rakshasa Dao Soldiers and ordered.

"From now on, you will follow the orders of this Zhang Gu... outside, you must address him as Lord."

"In your hearts... you must place him on par with me..."

"Forget it, just keep him on par with Di the Charcoal and Wang Meng!"

The Rakshasa Dao Soldiers did not doubt him; their loyalty was guaranteed.

This trip to Panshi County was nothing more than field work!

After dividing them up... Shen Yi asked softly.

"Forgive me for asking a presumptuous question."

"Please speak, Lord Shen."

"How is the internal situation of the Zhang Family now?"

Zhang Gu found it difficult to speak.

Seeing this, Shen Yi understood and changed the subject.

"The head of your family that Hu Shu mentioned... is it Wu Mei?"

Zhang Gu nodded, his eyes filled with admiration.

It was a sentiment not mixed with any romantic feelings.

It was just like the feeling a little fanboy has for a celebrity!

He said in a deep voice.

"My Head Madam, although she is a woman, has better methods for managing household affairs than most men!"

Shen Yi nodded to indicate he understood, then asked.

"What is the name of that scholar in your family who unfortunately failed the examination?"

"Zhang Qi..."

His eyes dimmed slightly.

"Our Young Master has always been brilliant in strategy... If not for his mother's bad habits in her early years, which caused the Young Master to be born with a face that could not be corrected, being incredibly ugly."

"He would have likely attained fame long ago... and become a reserve official!"

Zhang Gu said with some envy.

"If our Young Master had even three-tenths of Lord Shen's appearance, he would have taken the top spot."

Shen Yi looked at Zhang Gu, who was flattering him... and waved his hand.

"Don't say it, don't say it... there's no need to talk about things everyone already knows."

Zhang Gu: "..."

Shen Yi then waved his hand and said.

"Since you speak so highly of your Head Madam... I will entrust you with a message for her."

"Others can be deceived, but you must tell your Head Madam the whole truth about what happened here."

"If your Head Madam still chooses to form an Alliance... then the ten thousand copper coins owed by the Hu Family on this contract."

"Will be treated as the funds for this Alliance."

"These one hundred men will also follow your orders... this can be considered giving you military power."

"If she does not agree, just return them all!"

Zhang Gu didn't overthink it and accepted them.

Refuse?

That would be courting death...

He cupped his hands in a salute, looked around, his eyes filled with a touch of nostalgia.

He led his troops away... leaving only the main force behind!

Now was the time to harvest.

Seeing this, Shen Yi waved his hand and ordered Wu Yi.

"Alright... don't just stand there, you twenty-four, start absorbing the Evil Qi first."

"After you are full, you will be absorbed by the Evil Banner!"

Seeing this, Wu Yi quickly cupped his hands, beaming with joy!

Afterwards, Shen Yi continued to instruct the monks of Hanshan Temple.

"Master Yankong... you may begin the deliverance!"

This place had accumulated grievances for a long time; not only were there the souls of the Panshi Dao Soldiers, but also many other Yin soldiers buried here!

Delivering these Yin soldiers was solid Karma.

Seeing this, Master Yankong quickly instructed his Disciples to begin setting up the ritual.

However, his gaze towards Shen Yi was very strange...

"Lord Shen... he really is impossible to fathom."

"I thought we would be slaves and servants... I didn't expect him to give us Karma, feed us, and let us cling to his coattails..."

"A good person?"

"Not a good person!"

"A good person!"

"Suspected good person."

"A good person!"

"Indeed a good person!"

Pieces of Panshi Blood Essence were being dug up.

These Panshi Blood Essences were like huge blood-colored ambers.

In the very center of these ambers, hearts were sealed!

The hearts were beating, and black Qi was leaking from every outlet of the hearts.

Echoing the absolute terrain of the Ancient Battlefield, they constantly absorbed Yin Qi... to gestate the Yin soldiers anew!

'Enchanting' the Rakshasa Dao Soldiers with Panshi Blood Essence was not a difficult task...

It was enough to just use Evil Qi to absorb it.

Ordinary Dao Soldiers had a risk of failure, but the Rakshasa Dao Soldiers had such strong physiques that there was no need to worry about this risk at all!

Currently, the quantity of these Panshi Blood Essences was only enough to enchant one hundred people.

This was also because the Rakshasa Dao Soldiers had such a strong physical foundation.

A stronger foundation required more accumulation...

What's more, there was Wang Meng, that big glutton!

One hundred people was already quite a lot!

The one hundred people quickly sat cross-legged, and everyone performed their duties.

But Shen Yi turned his gaze to the coffin!

Steward Zhao was very cautious...

With the help of Steward Zhao, Yan Shu carefully set up a layer of cautious Spirit-Cleansing Formation!

The coffin gradually cracked open a gap... a burst of blood-red light flashed out!

Inside... a young girl, eyes tightly closed.

Lifelike.
