8: Huoyun Pavilion Branch

Since there was a plan, it was time to implement it.

He still needed more Zerg. First, he would take down the Fire Cloud Pavilion. Hua Shan said that the Fire Cloud Pavilion was not a good thing either.

In that case, I'm actually doing a service for the people.

Now, only 37,893 Life Force remained.

Remaining Zerg:

Tier 1 Acid Corrosion Spike Bug: 2875

Tier 2 Acid Corrosion Spike Bug: 86

Tier 1 Blade Worm: 1876

Tier 2 Blade Worm: 47

Tier 2 Scarlet Flower Worm: 1389

Tier 3 Scarlet Flower Worm: 1

It had to be said that to capture Hua Shan, he lost about 500 Zerg, including some Tier 2 ones.

At least Hua Shan could be modified to infiltrate humans and gather intelligence, so it wasn't a loss.

He left 389 Tier 2 Scarlet Flower Worms to guard the base, and sent out all the others, betting big!

Looking at the map Hua Shan provided, the distance was still very far, over two thousand kilometers. His Zerg army could only travel stealthily at night.

Seven nights later, in a tavern in Blackwater City, a man rushed in, gasping for breath.

"Brother, being chased by an enemy, running so fast?" A burly man sitting nearby, drinking, teased him.

The man was still in shock: "It's terrible, I just saw a group of demonic beasts rush into the Purple Cloud Mountain Range."

The men drinking around him froze, then burst into laughter.

"What are you laughing at? I really saw them, and these demonic beasts look strange."

However, the laughter grew louder.

"Which demonic beast doesn't look strange? I thought it was something important."

"Exactly, demonic beast migrations have happened before, no need to make a fuss."

Everyone chimed in, and the man himself felt he was overthinking it, but the demonic beasts he saw really didn't look like demonic beasts; they looked more like bugs...

On the other side, Song Yun controlled the Zerg army as it arrived at the Purple Cloud Mountain Range. The journey was mostly safe and sound, and they weren't discovered.

Once they entered the mountain range, it was the Zerg's world.

First, he consumed 10,000 Life Force to construct a Brood Nest, so that even if one was destroyed, he could still survive.

Primarily, without a Brood Nest, he couldn't construct Warrior Nests, and besides, Warrior Nests were used to absorb Life Force.

As the giant heart began to beat, Song Yun exhaled and immediately ordered the clearing of the demonic beasts in the mountain range. Soon, the screams of demonic beasts echoed through the Purple Cloud Mountain Range.

At the same time, Song Yun constructed four Warrior Nests. Now, he only had over 7,000 Life Force remaining.

He was truly at his wit's end.

But the Zerg's efficiency was truly fast; in one day, they cleared out the entire Purple Cloud Mountain Range.

He gained over 70,000 Life Force, now totaling over 80,000 Life Force.

It was time to replenish the Zerg's numbers.

3,000 Acid Corrosion Worms.

2,200 Blade Worms.

A total of 63,000 Life Force was consumed, and he added four more Warrior Nests, successfully depleting his Life Force to double digits.

But looking at his vast, dark swarm of Zerg, Song Yun felt very secure.

If a Zerg army of ten thousand couldn't even sweep a branch, he, Song Yun, would find a block of tofu to bash his head in.

Upon learning that Hua Shan had left the sect with her master, Liao Xing, Song Yun knew his plan could begin.

As night fell, the Fire Cloud Pavilion was filled with singing and dancing. The courtesans twisted their waists with effort, fear in their eyes.

The Fire Cloud Pavilion was like a grandfather in this area, a local tyrant whom no one dared to offend. They even had dealings with the Blackwater City Lord, all unsavory matters.

"Brothers, eat well, drink well, and have fun!" As an Elder of the branch, Lang Yu, Elder lived a very carefree life. Now, if he were asked to be an Elder at the main Fire Cloud Pavilion, he would have to consider it.

"Thank you, Elder!" The disciples sitting below stood up and shouted. Each disciple had a beautiful woman beside them. Not every sect could provide women for its disciples.

Lang Yu, Elder finished his drink, his face flushed with alcohol: "For a while, everyone should honestly cultivate and not cause trouble, or disgrace the Pavilion. Don't blame me if I turn hostile."

"We obey the Elder's command."

"Good, bring the beauties up." With a wave of Lang Yu, Elder's hand, over fifty women were brought to the center. They were all beautiful and dressed lavishly, clearly not daughters of common families.

Lang Yu, Elder's lips curved upward: "What are you waiting for? Grab them."

The disciples froze, then charged in like a pack of wolves into a sheepfold. The women cried out for help, but this only added to the amusement, and the disciples reveled in it.

The entire main hall descended into an unseemly and appalling scene.

And the disciples outside the main hall were no less; their screams only made them more excited.

However, none of the disciples noticed that a thousand Scarlet Flower Worms had already been ambushed beneath their feet.

In Song Yun's words, he wanted to cover every inch.

"This is great. You guys keep playing, I'm going to take a leak."

"Senior Brother, hurry up, there's another slut here!"

"What's the rush? There are even better ones later." The Senior Brother, slightly tipsy, swayed as he walked to the side. Such activities occurred at least once a month. Cultivation was so boring; they needed to relieve stress.

Sizzle, sizzle.

The Senior Brother closed his eyes as he relieved himself, completely unaware that in the darkness, a blade was raised high.

The Senior Brother froze, looked back, and only saw the shadow on the wall, completely unaware of the Blade Worm in the shadow, which made Song Yun secretly exclaim how powerful it was.

After relieving himself, the Senior Brother walked back contentedly. The place originally used for cultivation had become entirely for entertainment, which greatly surprised Song Yun.

He even wanted to join them; they knew how to have so much fun.

There were even people chopping off hands, tsk tsk tsk, appalling.

It was too dark, too bloody, too filthy.

On the watchtower, two junior disciples were eating roasted chicken.

"I really envy the senior brothers. When can we participate?"

"What's the rush? How long have you been here? I've been here for half a year and still don't qualify. You need to be here for a year."

"I saw the girl they caught today; she was really beautiful."

"Don't worry, there will be plenty of opportunities later."

After speaking, the disciple stood up and looked towards the branch. As a dark cloud slowly moved away, moonlight shone down.

The disciple suddenly froze. What did he see? The walls were covered with monsters...

"De-de-demonic beasts... Quick..." The disciple hurriedly called his junior disciple.

And the junior disciple stood up and looked, completely stunned. What exactly were these things?

However, the two didn't notice that the shadow of a Blade Worm gradually appeared. A flash of light, and two heads fell from the watchtower.

Everything was under Song Yun's control.

As all the Zerg entered their combat deployment positions.

A murderous glint appeared in Song Yun's eyes.

"Kill!"
