Chapter 1222: 587 Chapter 1222: 587 As the clan leader of the Qingmo Clan, Chen Boyuan was the first to be harvested by Old Bao.
Watching his clansn one by one getting swallowed by shadows and torn apart by unknown creatures in the dark, Chen Tong broke down and began to beg Zhang Yue for rcy.
“Master, please! Many of them didn’t even know, and you weren’t hard either.”
“I…”
Chen Tong wasn’t able to finish his sentence before several dark purple thorns spread from behind Zhang Yue and wrapped around him, lifting him into the air.
The thorns pierced through Chen Tong’s skin, and blood stread down along the thorns.
Two thorns coiled around his neck, preventing Chen Tong from speaking further.
Chen Tong struggled desperately, each movent driving the thorns deeper into his body.
Zhang Yue’s voice, devoid of emotion, addressed Chen Tong.
“The Qingmo Clan, in my eyes, is a set of weapons that I’ve cultivated using ti and resources. If a weapon disobeys and tries to harm its master, all you need to do is correct it to make it obedient again.”
“I wasn’t planning on dealing with the Qingmo Clan like I did with the Lingdian Clan. The reason the Qingmo Clan ended up this way is because you let out information that shouldn’t have been shared.”
Hearing this, Chen Tong’s struggles grew even fiercer, but Zhang Yue continued, ignoring him.
“You’ve crossed my bottom line. I thought, after so many years by my side, even if you were torn between loyalty to your family and loyalty to , you wouldn’t actually betray .”
“It seems I trusted you too much; I thought too highly of you!”
After saying this, Zhang Yue’s left hand clenched suddenly, and Chen Tong, along with other mbers of the Qingmo Clan, was transford into life souls by the dark purple thorns and absorbed into them.
Old Bao sighed with relief upon seeing this.
When Zhang Yue had instructed him to leave Chen Tong alone, Old Bao had feared that Zhang Yue would be too soft-hearted to act against his own long-cultivated disciple, but now Old Bao could finally relax.
Liang Jun had grown closer to Zhang Yue over these past few days.
Liang Jun patted Zhang Yue on the shoulder with an earnest tone.
“Master Zhang, the quality of a disciple can’t be forced. Discovering this side of Chen Tong earlier is actually a good thing for you!”
“If you had continued to train Chen Tong for decades more only to discover his treachery then, both emotionally and resource-wise, your loss would be much greater!”
“If you do want to train an outstanding disciple, Little Wood there has so teammates who are quite promising!”
“I’m not insisting on recomnding these people to you, but once you et them, you’ll see just how capable these youngsters are!”
Initially, Liang Jun rely wanted to comfort Zhang Yue, but as he spoke, he realized he might have said too much.
Who would imdiately suggest new disciples right after personally killing one?
Moreover, as a Grandmaster Creator, it wasn’t his place to ddle in the selection of disciples!
Zhang Yue collected himself emotionally, then gave Liang Jun a clasped hand in gratitude.
“Old Shu, I’ve just scraped through with my life. After experiencing many ups and downs, there’s nothing I can’t handle.”
“As you said, it’s better to know these things sooner rather than later, but I don’t think I’ll choose to train any disciples in the future.”
“I plan to focus on advancing my skills as a Grandmaster Creator beside Master Qixing, devoting my energy to enhancing my own strength!”
After expressing his stance, Zhang Yue changed the subject.
“Old Shu, the Qingmo Clan’s ancestral ho has been relocated twice, and its location is the best within Boundless City.”
“If you’re going to take over Boundless City, why not set your base there in the Qingmo Clan’s ancestral ho?”
“You ntioned your people have already arrived in Boundless City, so let’s head to the City Lord Mansion together for the handover.”
“I’ve already cleared out those difficult-to-control forces within Boundless City for you,” said Shu Liangjun. “The Zhehen Clan has been obedient and dared not create any trouble.”
“Our own people are the Frost Red Clan. You can consider taking so effort to bring the Zhehen Clan under your command and then select two other clans to support,” Zhang Yue advised.
“Let these two clans fill the positions left by the Qingmo Clan and the Lingdian Clan, maintaining the situation of the four major families within Boundless City. This will be beneficial for the stability of Boundless City!”
Shu Liangjun took Zhang Yue’s words to heart and was extrely grateful to him.
Now, Zhang Yue’s actions were tantamount to handing over the entire Boundless City, which he had spent a great deal of effort building, to her.
This move greatly strengthened her Golden Toad Manor, allowing her Golden Toad Manor to use Boundless City as an efficient resource incubator.
Three days quickly passed, and Fang Mu prepared to head directly from Boundless City to the Sea of Domains.
Golden Toad Manor’s takeover of Boundless City was very low-key, and many clans within the city were unaware of it.
These clans had previously done their best to please the Qingmo Clan, but now they had changed direction and began to ingratiate themselves with the Shuangdan Group and Zhehen Clan.
The winds and waves of the Sea of Domains grew larger, and several huge wheels made of tal Spiritual Material and Firm Floating Wood sailed across the stormy sea.
Firm Floating Wood was a type of wood whose value was comparable to tal Spiritual Material.
Because of its extrely light mass, a cubic ter of Firm Floating Wood weighed only a few dozen kilograms, which was a hundred tis lighter than ordinary wood.
Furthermore, Firm Floating Wood, which resisted rot and was as hard as steel when it encountered water, had beco the pri material for constructing large ships and was once collected by various forces and the Federation as foundational-level supplies.
Fortunately, the Grandmaster Creators of Contract Garden simplified the cultivation process of Firm Floating Wood, shortening its maturation period, which significantly increased its production and allowed for its widespread application.
In earlier years, many federations and forces had even gone to war over the scramble for Firm Floating Wood.
Accompanying these huge wheels were dozens of giant Sea Beasts, acting as guards and patrolling around the three huge wheels.
These Sea Beasts were all controlled by powerful Beast Masters.
On each of the three huge wheels were placed several large tal cargo containers marked distinctly, and a group of fully ard crew mbers bearing the insignia of the Ten-thousand Nations Federation patrolled the deck.
This attire identified the origin of the three huge wheels and typically, as mbers of the Ten-thousand Nations Federation, the crew should carry themselves with great pride wherever they went.
However, at this mont, all of their faces were extraordinarily solemn.
Inside the cockpit, a middle-aged man with a beard looked out at the increasingly violent sea, speaking with a rather worried tone.
“The tide stirred up by the Sea of Domains this ti is far more tumultuous than the one decades ago.”
“On this patrol of the eastern mariti zone, we dispatched five sequential-ranked ships, but due to that sudden and huge whirlpool, two ships were subrged into the sea.”
“Alongside the sinking of those ships, nearly five thousand extraterrestrial embryos that had been fished up also sank to the seafloor, and it’s said that dozens of live Outer Domain Spirits were among them.”
“Our fleet has never suffered such losses since its inception—I don’t know how I’m going to explain this to the higher-ups when I get back!”
“Avi, I’m afraid I might not be the captain of this fleet the next ti we set sail.”
The young man beside the middle-aged man nad Avi kept a very solemn expression.
Avi did not imdiately respond to the middle-aged man, but spoke with a slightly trembling voice.
“Captain, you know that my Soul can rge with the Soul Wave Sea Mother.”
“My Soul Wave Sea Mother, which went down with the other two huge wheels, detected sothing enormous beneath the whirlpool—an entity so vast that its exact contours were impossible to discern.”
“I can assure you that this entity is suspended in the sea and it is definitely not a seabed mountain!”
“I am very familiar with the soul echo of seabed mountains, and this feeling is completely different.”
“When I observed this giant unknown entity, I too felt a sensation of being watched.”
