After regaining consciousness, the Water Demon Race Leader began to move forward, but the deeper he went, the more he felt something was amiss.

The Water Demon Race's territory was gone?! That's right! They had gone out to battle, and now, upon returning, their Water Demon Race's territory had vanished?

What happened?

Logically speaking, he wasn't yet so old and blind that he could miss seeing such a large pool of blood. It was impossible for him to overlook it.

After wandering around for a while, he returned near the Deep Pit. Eventually, he stared at the Deep Pit in front of him and fell silent.

Could this... could this be where my Blood Demon Race's territory used to be? Where was the large pond of blood? Even if a Tribulation Stage Great Power were to come, it would be impossible to cleanse all that blood.

As he stared at the Deep Pit for a long moment, his expression grew increasingly gloomy. No, there was no mistake! This was their Water Demon Race's territory.

The Water Demon Race Leader's eyes looked as if they would split from fury. "AAAAHHH! Who did this?! Who could be so utterly heartless and cruel?!" he roared. "You cut off the very foundation of my Water Demon Race! You deserve to die! All of you deserve death!"

His gaze fiercely shifted towards the direction of the Demon Race Imperial Capital.

In the entire Eastern Region, only someone from the Royal Family could possess such means. One Tribulation Realm expert wouldn't suffice, but what if three Tribulation Realm experts worked together? There were indeed three Tribulation Stage Great Powers in the Imperial Capital. The Demon Emperor himself had even reached the peak of the Tribulation Stage. Doing this wouldn't be difficult for him at all. All the years my Water Demon Race has devoted itself to the whole of the Demon Race, to what end? Our people were killed, our territory destroyed. This has now severed the very foundation of my Water Demon Race! Once the remaining Water Demons die out, there will no longer be a Water Demon Race in the whole Eastern Region! How vicious! Such actions truly reach the pinnacle of cruelty.

The Water Demon Race Leader stared in the direction of the Imperial Capital for a long moment, but eventually, he turned around with a face full of anger and retraced his steps.

The Demon Race Leader was right; going to the Imperial Capital now would be a death wish. I must survive, convey this matter to others, and join forces with them to resist the Demon Emperor's rule. The people of our Water Demon Race cannot die in vain!

Shortly after he left, a frantic figure rushed out of the Inter-Provincial Teleportation Array. And from a distance, the Water Demon Race Leader could already sense the other's presence.

"Tree Demon Race Leader? What is this...?"

The Water Demon Race Leader stared at the Tree Demon Race Leader. After exchanging a glance, one was covered in killing intent while the other was suppressing his rage.

"My Tree Demon Race has also been attacked, countless Young Demons dead or injured!" the Tree Demon Race Leader spoke gravely, "Was it you? Did you take advantage of my absence and deliberately attack my Tree Demon Race's territory and kill our people?"

Upon hearing this, the Water Demon Race Leader's face darkened.

"Nonsense, how could I stoop to such lowly acts!" the Water Demon Race Leader retorted, "My Water Demon Race's territory has been destroyed, and now my people have been completely robbed of their foundation for survival. How could I possibly have the inclination to bother with your Tree Demon Race?"

Upon hearing this, the Tree Demon Race Leader was stunned. What? The Water Demon Race's territory was destroyed? It seemed only those from the Imperial Capital were capable of this. Could the Royal Family from the Imperial Capital have secretly made their move?

"What exactly happened?" the Tree Demon Race Leader asked with a grim face, "Is it truly them who acted?"

"It's almost certain!" the Water Demon Race Leader said coldly, "I will not let this matter rest! If the Demon Emperor has been this ruthless, then I shall show no mercy either. No one will get away with this!"

With that, he headed straight for the Teleportation Array.

The Tree Demon Race Leader hesitated for a moment and then decided not to return to his own territory.

If it really was the Royal Family who acted, heading back now would be walking straight into danger. With the tyrannical nature of the Royal Family, how could they let him off? Instead of courting death, it would be better to consult with everyone on how to deal with this situation. The Tree Demon Race couldn't let their people die in vain either.

In the Tree Demon Race's territory at this time, Players once again showcased their ability to leave no stone unturned. Everything of value within the Tree Demon Race was plundered. The Tree Demon Race's Young Demons were being captured by Players, who planned to take them back for on-site trading.

These Young Demons had potential for growth, and once matured, they could produce some rare and exotic fruits. The Tree Demon Race didn't have much else, but when it came to unique flora and rare fruits, they had countless varieties. Just from this trip alone, they had made a good haul. Those items would surely fetch a good price when sold, right?

Once their Storage Rings were full, Players began returning to Celestial One Daoist Sect to start their sales. That wasn't all; Players were even using Communication Rings to start Live Streams for direct sales, offering home delivery too. Why? Because the Spiritual Stone Task was not yet completed.

Veteran Players bought low from Fourth Test Players and then resold to people from the Great Dream Immortal Sect and the Celestial Splendor Sect. The Spiritual Stones they earned were then turned over, and once the Spirit Vein Task was complete, they could earn One Thousand Contribution Points.

Wasn't this more comfortable than going outside to fight?

「Inside the Great Dream Immortal Sect.」

Their recent skirmishes with the Demon Race and Soul Race had left them in dire straits. After several encounters, they faced more losses than wins. Many Disciples were dead or injured, forcing them to hunker down within the Sect and seek alternative solutions.

It was then that their Communication Rings began to ring one after another. Profound Yellow Sect Disciples had started to actively make contact.

As soon as they opened the connection, Meng Fenggu and the Elders couldn't help but gasp.

"Step right up, don't miss out! Freshly-looted Demon Race Spiritual Artifacts for sale! Young Demons from the Demon Race up for trade! Plus, all kinds of exotic Demon Race plants and fruits! All yours for Spiritual Stones and Spirit Crystals! Demon treasures delivered right to your doorstep!"

Seeing a sea of Demon Race goods, even treasures unique to the Demon Race, the people of the Great Dream Immortal Sect were stupefied. What was going on? Where had the Profound Yellow Sect Disciples gotten Demon Race items? Had they started warring with the Demon Race too?

"Is that a young Tree Demon? Damn it, my adorable Junior Brother was killed by the Tree Demon Race! Now I want revenge; send me ten young Tree Demons!"

"I want young Tree Demons too, to avenge my Senior Brothers!"

"Is that the Demon Spiritual Fruit? Great for refining medicine! Hurry, send me all of them; I'll take all these Demon Spiritual Fruits!"

"I'll take all the Blood Pattern Stones. Please, young friend, deliver them to us. The price is negotiable. Also, send us another batch of Realm-Breaking Pills and Communication Rings."

"..."

Members of the Great Dream Immortal Sect, seeing the goods sold by Disciples of the Profound Yellow Sect, could no longer hold back. They began purchasing frenziedly, wishing they could spend all their Spiritual Stones.

Upon receiving messages, Players also began operations immediately. A bastard wouldn't turn down money! These Demon Race goods had cost them only a few hundred Contribution Points in total; spread out, it didn't even come to thirty Contribution Points per person. If they could complete the Spirit Vein Task, they could earn a whole One Thousand Contribution Points! As middlemen, they were going to earn big!

Luo Yuan had just consumed a few Elixirs to recover from his injuries, staring blankly at the screen that appeared on his Communication Ring.

So... what was going on? During my few days away from the Profound Yellow Sect, you all went behind my back to score some good stuff? Selling all these treasures, how many Spiritual Stones would that earn?

I've missed out, big time! If only I knew, I wouldn't have come back.

Luo Yuan's eyes brimmed with tears, his face full of regret. He felt as if he had lost a billion, perhaps even more, at that moment! Coming back hadn't gotten him anything; moreover, he had almost drained his entire fortune, and even the Cultivation Technique he practiced had been coaxed away by the Sect Leader.

Now, watching the Profound Yellow Sect's Disciples making money from Spiritual Stones, he felt as if his strength had been drained from him. What was this? All my hard work for nothing? And I almost lost my life in the process?

Huh? The Blood Pattern Stones got snatched up by the Fifth Elder? No, I have to get some. Otherwise, it'll be a hassle when I lack Materials for Refining.

Luo Yuan hurriedly began contacting people, asking them to deliver some Blood Pattern Stones to him.

With two territories of the Demon Race plundered, the Demon Race within the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains temporarily halted their invasions. This was no longer the time to invade the Human Race...
