642: Get together with your acquaintances and seek cooperation

"Respectfully seeing Your Majesty off!"

The Flame Demon's will slowly returned, his tall and strong body trembled slightly, sensing Luo Xiu's power within him gradually receding like a tide.

An indescribable sense of exhaustion instantly swept over his entire body, but he still endured, respectfully saluting in the direction of the Demon Domain.

At this moment, Zhu Jianhua's expression was grave, his gaze fixed on the location where the Wolf Emperor and the four Sheep Emperors had been.

That scene just now seemed to be replaying continuously before his eyes.

The mysterious radiant light pierced through the bodies of the five like sharp blades, and their bodies instantly lost balance, plummeting straight to the ground.

However, a strange thing happened: the moment their bodies touched the ground, they seemed to be pulled by an invisible force, rapidly disappearing.

It was as if they had been "eaten" by the earth, leaving no trace, only an empty patch of ground.

"Are they beings from the core area?"

Zhu Jianhua pondered inwardly, knowing that both the Wolf Clan and the Sheep Clan had guarded the core area of this Scarlet Grassland for generations.

That core area was like a massive enigma, filled with a mysterious aura.

Even though he had assimilated part of the Bloodhorn Sheep Emperor's memories, there was very little information about the core area.

What secrets were hidden within, making these powerful beings willing to guard it? All of this filled Zhu Jianhua with curiosity.

Thinking of this, Zhu Jianhua looked down at the endless Forbidden Land Creatures below.

Zhu Jianhua narrowed his eyes slightly; the next moment, he moved his thoughts.

The remaining blood energy in the Scarlet Grassland's heaven and earth seemed to respond to a summons, rapidly condensing into blood-energy ferocious beasts.

These blood-energy ferocious beasts were grotesque in form, exuding powerful auras, and they roared as they charged into the tide of Forbidden Land Creatures.

For a time, shouts of battle and roars intertwined, and the scene was chaotic.

Zhou Rong and the others were overjoyed at this sight; they exchanged glances and immediately led their people into the fray.

However, Ape Zhan, Thunder Leopard, and other Demonic Beasts powerhouses did not act; they stood quietly to the side, their gazes fixed on the Flame Demon who had returned to the team.

"Lord Flame Demon!"

They shouted in unison, their voices filled with awe.

The Flame Demon nodded slightly, saying nothing.

Although he hadn't directly participated in the battle earlier, it was his body that had carried Luo Xiu's power after all.

At this moment, he felt utterly exhausted, as if all his strength had been drained, with no desire to fight whatsoever.

Just then, fist-sized blood beads flew actively from all directions towards the Flame Demon and the three Demonic Beasts.

These blood beads emitted a faint glow, as if containing infinite energy.

"These are your shares; devouring them can restore your blood energy and strengthen your Physical Body!"

Zhu Jianhua's voice came through; after reaching the Emperor Realm, he realized even more deeply how powerful Luo Xiu had been in resisting the five Emperors alone earlier.

This was merely the descent of the other party's consciousness; if the other party's main body were to arrive, Zhu Jianhua had no doubt that he alone could tear through the entire Scarlet Grassland.

The Flame Demon looked at the blood beads before him and, without hesitation, slowly extended his hand, grasping the blood beads.

Then, he closed his eyes and began to devour and refine these blood beads, recovering his own losses.

At the same time, he also distributed the blood beads to the other demonic beasts; Luo Xiu had given orders before leaving that everything from this expedition belonged to him, the Flame Demon, and the Demonic Beasts on this trip.

Zhu Jianhua said nothing about this; he himself also began to devour the continuously refined blood beads.

As he devoured the blood beads, his previously somewhat unstable Realm gradually stabilized, and his aura became profound, as if hiding infinite power.

Suddenly, Zhu Jianhua turned his head to look in Bai Yuan's direction.

Though they were tens of thousands of miles apart, Zhu Jianhua's gaze seemed to penetrate all obstacles, falling directly on Bai Yuan.

Bai Yuan's heart jolted; he felt a powerful aura rushing towards him.

Now that the situation was against him, he couldn't be sure what the other party would do to them.

But since he had been discovered, he still feigned composure, revealing a slight smile as he looked back at Zhu Jianhua.

"Bai Yuan, do you want to cooperate again?" Zhu Jianhua's voice clearly entered Bai Yuan's ears.

At the same time, Man Kuang also received the same invitation as Bai Yuan.

A moment later, Bai Yuan and Man Kuang, with their respective forces, arrived beside Zhu Jianhua.

However, the three parties maintained a distance of several hundred meters.

After all, Zhu Jianhua was now an Emperor Realm powerhouse, far surpassing them in strength. Even if he showed no malice, everyone had to be cautious.

Moreover, not far below, there was a group of Demonic Beasts powerhouses, who, upon sensing the appearance of the Human Race and Demon Clan, all revealed killing intent.

Were it not for Zhu Jianhua holding them back, they seemed ready to charge forward at any moment and tear Bai Yuan, Man Kuang, and the others to shreds.

"Gentlemen, I didn't expect us to meet again so soon!"

Zhu Jianhua looked calmly at both sides' forces, a hint of emotion flashing in his eyes.

Last time, if Yue Shan hadn't been there, he would never have been able to converse with both sides on equal terms like this.

But now, having broken through to the Emperor Realm, he feared neither side in the slightest.

However, his reason for not acting was naturally his own.

"Indeed, who would have thought that in such a short time, you've already broken through to the Emperor Realm."

Since Bai Yuan had come, he naturally wouldn't show fear.

He spoke with considerable emotion, his gaze sweeping over Zhu Jianhua, as if trying to discern something extraordinary about him.

"I hope that both now and in the future, we will not become enemies!"

Bai Yuan said sincerely, a hint of concern in his eyes.

After all, Zhu Jianhua was now incredibly powerful; if he were to become an enemy, it would be a huge threat to them.

Zhu Jianhua smiled upon hearing this, "Hehe, my Blood Disciple family members are still in Great Xia. If possible, I naturally won't attack Great Xia.

But if they also suffer injustice, then don't blame me for being merciless!"

His voice was cold, as if carrying a chill that made the surrounding air stagnant.

But his words made Bai Yuan and everyone behind him breathe a sigh of relief.

"That's natural. Now that our Great Xia has formed an Alliance, our safety has greatly improved.

Moreover, with Lan Cang serving as Prince Wuan, and Baili Ziyuan present, even ordinary people can live happily!"

Bai Yuan quickly said, trying to give Zhu Jianhua a good impression of Great Xia.

Zhu Jianhua did not reply; he had seen too much of the world's darkness and knew that superficial peace often hid deeper crises.

He would naturally go and see for himself how everything truly was. With his current strength, no one could stop him even if he returned to Great Xia.

"Why did you call us here? What kind of cooperation do you have in mind?"
