Super Gene Hunting Ground

That night, Long Jing left Purple Origin Star with Long Kui’s corpse aboard a private interstellar spaceship.

Jino and others returned a few days later aboard a large transport ship.

...

The night Long Jing left, in Guangfu City, Yang Xiao was discussing matters with Wanyan He, Liang Bao, and others.

”Yang Brother, I’m heading back tomorrow to report the events here to my father. Killing Long Kui is definitely a major incident that’ll shock Witch Star.”

”Wanyan Brother, thank you for coming to inform me in advance, otherwise I wouldn’t have been able to deal with Long Kui’s challenge.

Now that Long Kui is dead, the Emperor of Great Dragon Empire is highly likely to retaliate. Are you prepared for the matter we coordinated last time?”

”Yang Brother, don’t worry. We’ve already communicated with Hai Mu from Youming Empire. He will also board my spaceship and return to Witch Star tomorrow.

Given your current strength, if the Emperor of Great Dragon Empire wants to conquer you, he would need to bring over at least fifty thousand elite guards. If he sends troops, the domestic front will be defenseless. Our Flying Leopard Empire will surely ally with Youming Empire to attack the Great Dragon Empire, and by then, he’ll find himself unable to manage both fronts.

According to the recent decisions of Great Dragon Empire, he dares not send troops to attack Purple Origin Star, so Yang Brother, there’s no need to worry about retaliation from Great Dragon Empire.

Moreover, with Long Kui dead, Great Dragon Empire has lost a superpower capable of handling an independent front; they should act more cautiously now.”

Yang Xiao nodded and said:

”I will also make preparations here to handle any attacks from Great Dragon Empire. As for matters on Witch Star, I would be grateful if you, Wanyan Brother, could manage them with care.

I believe, after this incident, your father will regard you highly, and sooner or later, the throne of Flying Leopard Empire will be yours, Wanyan Brother.”

”Haha... I’m most thankful for Yang Brother’s kind words!”

...

Early the next morning, Wanyan He, accompanied by Liang Bao and others, as well as Hai Mu from Youming Empire and others, left Purple Origin Star, heading towards Witch Star.

Yang Xiao convened an emergency meeting overnight, calling the main leaders of Guangfu Clan and all city leaders together.

First, he organized a grand memorial and funeral for the four Elders killed in battle.

Elder Jackal and Elder Earth Dog, along with two other Elders, were killed by Long Kui, while the remaining five Elders - King of Savages, Wind Eagle, Shan Feng, Tai Qi, and Mountain Chicken - were severely injured. Fortunately, after consuming Essence Blood Pills, their injuries have improved significantly, and they are expected to recover fully within a week.

After burying the four Elders, Yang Xiao unprecedentedly held a funeral for the four hundred demon beasts that died in battle.

Previously, the corpses of these demon beasts were usually excellent sources of evolution energy, but this time, no one thought to consume them, not even those demon beasts.

Yang Xiao buried all four hundred demon beasts in a small valley, then drew the Bronze Divine Sword, leveled the mountain, and covered all the demon beast corpses.

”Brothers and sisters of Guangfu Clan, from today onward, you must remember, demon beasts and we are family; we are all members of the larger family of Purple Origin Star,

From now on, we should minimize hunting demon beasts; our genetic evolution can through the Genetic Store’s Genetic Potion instead,

everyone must remember, only by teaming up with the demon beasts can we protect our homeland!”

This decision made the demon beasts excited and immensely proud.

For the first time, the demon beasts received genuine respect from Guangfu Clan.

These high-level demon beasts have already begun to develop wisdom; although they can’t fully think and act like humans yet, they greatly desire human respect, treating them as equals or partners.

After the burial, Yang Xiao convened a meeting with key leaders to collectively discuss future paths and strategies.

After the battle where Yang Xiao killed the Emperor Level Long Kui, his status in Guangfu Clan soared, with no one daring to challenge him.

”Yang Leader, we’re all following your lead. Whatever you say, we’ll follow your direction.”

”Yang Leader, even if Great Dragon Empire comes to attack us, we’re not afraid. We have tens of thousands of people and millions of demon beasts; in that case, who will win is uncertain.”

”Yang Leader, if you can kill Long Kui today, you can surely kill the Emperor of Great Dragon Empire in the future, haha!”

”Yes, Yang Leader, your combat power is truly terrifying!”

...

After hearing everyone’s words, Yang Xiao could only smile bitterly inside, yet he couldn’t diminish everyone’s confidence, so he silently acknowledged his unmatched prowess and ability to defeat the Emperor of Great Dragon Empire.

But Yang Xiao was fully aware that killing Long Kui was half strength and half luck.

The strength part involved sacrificing four Elders and four hundred demon beasts of Empire Middle Level Realm, a cost truly steep, which saddened Yang Xiao deeply upon reflection.

If the next opponent is the Emperor of Great Dragon Empire, or the War God, Yang Xiao wouldn’t have such a massive battle force to contend against them.

Whether the Flying Leopard Thunder Hammer would be effective remains uncertain.

”Yang Leader, why don’t we stop distributing Purple Crystal Stone to Great Dragon Empire, and distribute their 20% quota to Youming Empire, Flying Leopard Empire, and other empires? This way, Flying Leopard Empire can suppress Great Dragon Empire for us, easing our burden.”

Someone suggested.

Yang Xiao pondered for a moment, then said:

”I’ve considered this plan before, but it can’t be adopted unless we reach a total breakdown.

As long as we don’t destroy Great Dragon Empire’s two city crystal stone quota, they will hesitate to send troops against us,

Once we stop the crystal stone distribution to the Great Dragon Empire, we’ll truly be forcing them to attack us!

Besides, the presence of the Great Dragon Empire has its benefits, too.”

Wind Eagle Elder was taken aback and asked:

”What benefits? Wouldn’t it be better to annihilate the Great Dragon Empire?”

”Hehe, you’re thinking too simply. The Great Dragon Empire, Youming Empire, and the Flying Leopard Empire have always been the three major powers on Witch Star. Keeping them in a strategic balance ensures they constrain each other, with none daring to spare a large army to attack the Purple Origin Star.

Think about it,

if the Great Dragon Empire were annihilated and the Flying Leopard Empire is relatively weak, at that point, the Youming Empire could dispatch a large army to conquer all of us,

and by then, we would be in a very passive position.”

The group listened and nodded, agreeing with Yang Xiao’s viewpoint.

”Regardless of whether the Great Dragon Empire sends their army, we must be prepared here. I have a suggestion to divide the Purple Origin Star into four large regions,

concentrating all scattered guards from towns in each region into a formidable army, so in the event of large-scale warfare, we can quickly retaliate.”

The Savage King nodded after listening,

”This is a good idea, I agree.”

The others all expressed their agreement.

Yang Xiao continued:

”I suggest that the four Elders, Wind Eagle Elder, Shan Feng Elder, Tai Qi Elder, and Mountain Chicken Elder, be appointed as the highest leaders of the four regions, managing the guard teams uniformly in each area,

while the Savage King and I will station in Guangfu City to centrally command the four regions, how about that.”

”Good, this is a good plan, Leader Yang, I’ve wanted to propose this idea for a long time, but I couldn’t come up with a mature plan. I didn’t expect you to explain it so clearly in just a few words.”

Tai Qi Elder slapped his thigh and exclaimed.

Shan Feng Elder laughed:

”Tai Qi, you old fellow, you flatter Leader Yang too, I feel like you’re showing off here? Fortunately, you don’t have much education, so you couldn’t propose such a brilliant idea, haha....”

Following that, everyone discussed some details about the regional system, and Yang Xiao appointed Gu Beifeng, Du Tianxing, Xia Luo, Xiao Zhe, and others as advisors in each region to assist the four Elders in managing the regions’ production and daily life issues.

The four Elders are rough men with high levels of genetic evolution, but they are greatly lacking in strategy. With Gu Beifeng and others assisting, things naturally become much easier.

The four areas concentrated the guard teams that were initially scattered across various cities, forming a rapid reaction defensive force for the Purple Origin Star overall.

After discussing the details of the regional system, staffing, and so on, Yang Xiao urged everyone to establish the regional system in the shortest possible time, personally taking on the role of chief commander.

After everyone departed, Yang Xiao left the Savage King alone for a chat.

The Savage King looked at Yang Xiao and laughed:

”How is it, feeling a lot of pressure?”

”Nonsense, if the War God from the Great Dragon Empire comes over, do you have the confidence to deal with him?”

The Savage King shook his head,

”The War God has long reached the Emperor Level Realm. I am now just at the Empire Level Peak, no match for him. Moreover, this time, more than half of the high-level demonic beasts were killed or injured. We won’t have such a strong demonic beast army to assist us next time. Sigh, I’m anxious too, but I just can’t show it in front of everyone.”

”Old man, let me ask you a question.”

”Hmm?”

”Back when you dueled with the War God, your genetic evolution levels were about the same. Why has he long surpassed to the Emperor Level, while you remain at the Empire Level?”

”Haha, you’re asking me? I want to know the answer more than you do!

In fact, it’s simple. The War God has the Great Dragon Empire’s genetic cultivation methods and a vast amount of evolution resources. Plus, his inherent evolution talent is good, so he can surpass to the Emperor Level Realm,

and for me? Our savages have no genetic cultivation methods nor a large quantity of genetic potions, under natural evolution circumstances, the Empire Level Realm is our natural bottleneck. From ancient times to the present, only a legendary savage leader has broken through to the Emperor Level Realm,

right, the relic of the savage senior you saw in the cave last time, did you not refine his evolution pill?”

The Savage King laughed after speaking. Who could have imagined that Yang Xiao actually refined the genetic evolution pill left by the savage senior into an aphrodisiac.

Yang Xiao thought for a moment and said:

”I suspect that the Great Dragon Empire won’t dare send a large army against us, but it’s highly likely the War God will personally come to find trouble with me, and there’s only one way to counter the War God.”

”What way?”

”That is for you to break through to the Emperor Level Realm!”

”Haha, I’d love to too, but how to break through? How do you want me to break through?”

”Old man, I want to go look at the cave of the savage senior again and see if I can find new clues.”
