Lu Mingfei didn't show them the detailed battle report, so they didn't know the situation of the battle above the Japanese trench.
"Go all out with the Judgment skill and kill over a thousand Corpse Guardians. I'll send you the battle report via email."
The system forwarded the battle report sent by Su Enxi to Xia Mi and Chu Zihang, and then pondered how to ask Jiu Demai about the first-generation dragon blood she had obtained.
This precious alchemical material could be used to weaken its toxicity, making it absorbable for hybrids and directly stimulating their bloodline... However, this approach is somewhat dangerous and wasteful.
The system was figuring out how to use it on Lu Mingfei, using the power of this dragon blood to drive the alchemy matrix and replenish Lu Mingfei's body with power.
Just like mana potions in a game.
The system had considered this matter before and had been preparing for it, but it was hampered by the lack of precious materials like dragon blood to implement the plan.
If you ask Mai for some of the dragon blood from her, you'll have the materials. Next, it's just a matter of the human alchemy matrix...
This involves operating on Lu Mingfei himself, and Lu Mingfei's body isn't as strong as those of the mixed-race individuals, so we have to be extremely cautious... The system took out its phone and called Su Enxi to try and find out her attitude.
"Hello, Mr. Su?"
"What's wrong, Mr. Lu? Judging from your tone, it sounds like something's bothering you?"
"This is indeed a bit troublesome. Didn't Mai Shude go to sea and obtain the dragon blood of the first generation? What did you use it for?"
"Oh, it's from my collection, the blood of the first generation of dragons. There's no harm in keeping something as precious as this."
"Not yet useful?" the system asked. "Are there many?"
As soon as he said that, Su Enxi understood the purpose of the call: "Boss Lu, how much do you want?"
50 ml?
“Okay, I’ll give you 100 milliliters. Anyway, it’s not really of any use to you right now.” Su Enxi readily agreed.
Chapter 152 The Homeland of the White King
As dawn broke, the rain that had fallen the previous night continued unabated. The people Su Enxi sent arrived quickly; it was Jiu Demai.
With a thunderous roar, the sports car boldly drifted and came to a stop in the rain. She stepped out of the car, picked up a black box, placed it on the back of the car, and opened it.
The scarlet dragon blood in the specially made test tube has an extremely high viscosity, almost like a jelly-like blood curd, as if it has solidified.
"The blood of the first generation of dragons."
Xia Mi and Chu Zihang also examined the test tube of dragon blood carefully. Xia Mi even leaned her little head forward, sniffing the box, trying to smell the dragon blood through the test tube.
Mai asked, "What do you want this for? I almost risked my life to get this for you."
The system also agreed with Su Enxi's statement: "The blood of the first-generation dragon has many uses. It's never a bad thing to have such a precious thing in your hands, otherwise you won't be able to find it when you really need it."
Mai squinted, pinched her chin, and lowered her head for a moment as if thinking, before finally uttering, "That's true..."
No, she couldn't hold it in any longer; she had to quickly change her mind. She raised her head and asked another question with a serious expression: "By the way, do you have any news about the whereabouts of the White King's remains?"
"Not yet, do you have any news from your end?"
The system didn't expect Jiu Demai to have any insights, because the operation on the Abyss side had only ended three hours earlier, and the White King's remains had only just fled, with no one knowing where they had gone.
Unless the White King still has a home, and runs back home when in danger, since the Abyss is not the home of the White King's sacred remains.
"Yes, yes, there is news."
Mai Shude quickly said, "Based on my long-term investigation and surveillance in Japan, I have discovered that the Demon Clan is actually divided into two parts. One part is the demons who are in the open, namely the demons who are suppressing the Snake-Headed Eight Families. This part of the demons mainly focuses on having sufficient combat power."
The other part is entirely under the control of the King. Compared to the demons who openly resist the pressure, they are more like geniuses and elites with both combat prowess and technical skills. In addition to possessing sufficient combat strength, they also have impressive technical skills. The King's large-scale production of potions cannot be separated from the help of these people.
Mai Shude has been busy in Japan for a long time, and it's not just busywork. She has really caught up with another card in the King's hand, and no one knows about this card. After all, they don't operate in the open. They secretly make medicine in the shadows and hardly ever show their faces.
Even an elite talent like Mai Shude had to go to great lengths to uncover these individuals.
Although Mai Shude is not known for her intelligence among the trio, she is only relatively less intelligent than the other two strategists. When she is with the two women, she doesn't need to use her brain at all.
“Wang Jiang knows too much,” said Shude Mai. “So, assuming he knows everything, he should also know about the Sheqi Hachike’s actions against the Abyss. He didn’t stop them not because he was powerless to stop them, but because he wanted the Sheqi Hachike to do it.”
Once she said that, Lu Mingfei and the others understood.
The system continued, "Because the abyss at a depth of 8,000 meters is not a suitable place to capture the White King, we must force the White King's remains out of the abyss, at least to the land, where humans can exert their fighting power. Where in Japan are the White King's remains?"
Xia Mi then added, "If the White King's remains feel that this world is dangerous, then it will most likely return to its familiar environment, that is, a place it feels safe in—similar to its homeland."
"And the homeland of the White King's remains is right beneath our feet, in the Tokyo Bay area," Uesugi Koshi and Angers and Genji said. "The Well that holds the remains is half ice and half fire. With these two extreme temperatures converging, ordinary organisms have almost no space to survive. This effectively inhibits the source of nutrition for the White King's remains to develop."
When the White King's remains lacked power, this place was a prison and a dead end. But if it had enough nourishment and some power, this desolate place, almost untouched by any living creature, would be the best choice for its stable development.
Upon hearing the useful information, Angers politely offered Uesugi a cigar, gesturing for him to elaborate: "So, where is the Well of Hidden Bones?"
"I don't know." Uesugi Koshi shook his head.
Upon hearing this, Angers turned around and lit the cigar in his mouth.
Uesugi Koshi naturally witnessed this scene, "You stingy guy..."
"What do you mean by stingy? The cigar box is right on the table. Help yourself if you want one."
Angers inhaled the cigar smoke, the intense spiciness seeming to awaken his body. He said, "If the information we have now is correct, then the King will sit idly by and watch as the Serpent Clan uses nuclear weapons and other weapons to threaten the White King's remains into leaving the Abyss, forcing it to return to its supposedly safe homeland..."
He looked at Yuan Zhisheng: "Was your idea of using nuclear weapons influenced by anyone? If you want the White King's remains to move, you have to make it feel threatened enough so that it will return to its safe homeland without hesitation and will not have any intention of going to unfamiliar places outside."
Using nuclear weapons to threaten the White King's remains is also a very important step. If the plan to use nuclear weapons was proposed or induced by someone else to Genji, then it is highly suspicious.
Yuan Zhisheng remained silent, merely mentally piecing together the events leading up to this incident:
The Snake-Headed Eight Families were initially unaware of the Abyss's existence. Later, Erii ran away from home, and Inuyama He assumed it was Tachibana Masamune playing another trick. Inuyama He then told Uesugi Koshi that he had children, and it was only Uesugi Koshi's appearance that made the Snake-Headed Eight Families aware of the Abyss's existence…
Uesugi said on behalf of Genjiro, "Even if you don't make a move, the Demon Clan will. They have invested in three research institutes in Japan that study the deep sea. Your actions have only accelerated the time for the White King's remains to return to its homeland. Even if you don't take any action, the Demon Clan will still go into the sea to force the White King's remains to come ashore."
That makes sense. Whether they attack the Abyss or not doesn't affect the eventual landing of the White King's remains.
Yuan Zhisheng said: "The idea of using nuclear weapons was originally my own. Later, I met someone who had the same idea as me. Before I proposed the idea of nuclear weapons to him, he proposed the idea of nuclear weapons to me first."
"Who?"
"Tachibana Masamune, he shares my idea: to use nuclear weapons directly and see if we can solve the problem once and for all..." Genjiro finished speaking slowly.
Because he had received a lot of help from Tachibana Masamune in the past, Genji had been trying to exonerate Tachibana Masamune. The Snake-Headed Eight Families only became united under his leadership, so they truly deserved credit even if they didn't achieve anything.
So he just hoped that as long as Tachibana Masamune didn't cause trouble, everything would be fine.
"Jingle Bell……"
The phone rang urgently. Genjiro pulled out his phone, and a panicked voice immediately came from the other end: "It's terrible, Patriarch! You've attacked and kidnapped Tachibana Masamune, the head of the Tachibana family!"
???
Genjiro was completely baffled. He was just about to look for Tachibana Masamune when this inexplicable call from his subordinate came through, leaving him utterly confused.
I attacked and kidnapped the head of the Tachibana family, Masamune. Do you want to hear what you have to say?
"Don't panic, explain yourself clearly!"
The fact that the phone call could reach them meant that something was definitely not simple, which caused a great deal of panic among their subordinates.
"Oh, okay, patriarch..." The person on the other end of the phone calmed down and said, "The king of the Demon Clan, along with someone who looks a lot like you, a lot like you, a lot like you, came and kidnapped the head of the Tachibana Masamune family. After he dealt with us, he said to the head of the Tachibana Masamune family, 'Long time no see...'"
He resembled Genjiro so much that his first thought was that Genjiro should deal with Tachibana Masamune, the patriarch, so that he could completely seize power in the Snake-Headed Eight Families... The opponent was also quite strong. The king, with just this one person, moved through all the guards near Tachibana Masamune's house without any hindrance.
It was like cutting melons and vegetables; the difference between them was like an ordinary person facing a mixed-race person, making these subordinates understand just how terrifying the legendary Divine Mandate truly was.
Yuan Zhisheng's face turned ugly.
It was indeed within the king's calculations. However, seeing that the plan to force the White King to come ashore had been achieved, the king couldn't wait to deal with Tachibana Masamune, his former partner.
What makes them so certain that they can deal with the White King's remains once they're on land...?
……
The dozens of members of the Fierce Ghost Clan all turned their gazes toward Lu Mingfei, who remained expressionless.
In the new headquarters, facing the fierce attack of the Snake Clan, Sakurai Kogure, the third-in-command, did not fight to the death, but instead pulled them back to attack his former colleagues.
Because they disagreed with betraying the king and vehemently accused Sakurai Kogure of betraying them.
“I joined the Ghost Clan because I had nowhere else to go. There was nowhere in the world that would accept us, but from now on, there is.”
Sakurai Kogure simply said, "After being a sewer rat for so many years, this is the first time I've seen hope walking in the sunlight. Everyone who stands in my way to freedom must die."
Immediately, someone helped Sakurai Kogure kill the demons blocking her way. These demons who were criticizing Sakurai Kogure were clearly not chosen by her; it's unclear what she said to them...
They didn't know why they were chosen by Sakurai Kogure, but she offered them an irresistible deal—they could get rid of their dangerous hybrid identities without having to risk their lives fighting the White King with the King.
It must be said that Sakurai Kogure's choice of people was very successful. She agreed to every single one she asked, and not a single demon refused her invitation to move towards the light together.
However, the somewhat youthful and immature appearance of Lord Lu Mingfei in front of them made them feel uncertain.
The saying "A young man with no beard is unreliable" is not just a stereotype in China; it exists all over the world.
"You all seem quite disappointed?" the system asked.
No one spoke. Sakurai Akira wanted to speak, but Sakurai Kogure stopped him.
As a proper manager, Sakurai Kogure knew that if these people wanted to unleash their full potential under Lord Lu, they had to earn his respect.
It's fine to grumble a little in private, as long as you put in the effort when it's time to work. What's the problem is if they don't complain at all, but when it's time to actually do the work, they just show up without putting in any effort... What's the point of hiring these people if they do that?
One or two people are fine, but I'm afraid it will escalate and harm them, as these are all people from the Fierce Ghost Clan.
If time weren't so tight, she could also help Lu Mingfei persuade these people to trust him more.
"Are there any people with serious bloodline issues? Step forward."
The system's words received a response; the crowd stirred slightly, and a person stepped forward, revealing bright golden eyes. Just as he was about to say something, a vial of serum was tossed into his hand.
The system said calmly, "If your bloodline shows signs of stirring, inject this serum first. It can suppress your bloodline for a short period of time, and it should last for about six months without any problems."
Is anyone else's bloodline close to going out of control?
A group of dangerous hybrids, some of whom are already standing on the edge of a cliff, can feel the increasingly impulsive and powerful force within them.
But this is not a good thing; it's more like a death sentence. The proportion of dragon blood in their bodies needs time to develop, which could take a few months or a year, until they completely transform into Deadpool.
However, such people are only a minority. After two more people stepped forward, the system gave them two more vials of serum.
The first dangerous hybrid to receive the serum hesitated for a moment, his eyes flickering with uncertainty, before plunging it into his own neck without hesitation.
The serum quickly took effect in his body, and the frenzied dragon blood melted away rapidly like snow under the scorching sun... Two minutes later, the feeling of having great power in his body subsided, replaced by a sense of emptiness.
But he bowed down without hesitation: "Thank you for your kindness, Lord Lu!"
