"I want all the spots in the Tianshan Blood Pool."
"And you, get lost, understand?"
Xiao Li looked down at Golden Stone from above, his posture high-profile and domineering, showing no respect whatsoever.
The expressions of the Gold-Devouring Rat Clan and others also became solemn.
It was the first time they had encountered such an arrogant human.
Golden Stone said in a deep voice, "Isn't Your Excellency a bit too overbearing? The Tianmu Mountain Range is the dwelling place of our Gold-Devouring Rat Clan. Although the Tianshan Blood Pool appeared in the Tianmu Mountain Range, we did not claim it for ourselves, but made it public."
"On this point, the four venerables of the Four Directions Pavilion also strongly support us."
"The Tianshan Blood Pool is not something exclusive to our Gold-Devouring Rat Clan, but a treasure land managed jointly by our Gold-Devouring Rat Clan and the Four Directions Pavilion."
"By doing this, is Your Excellency perhaps challenging the authority of the Four Directions Pavilion?"
Golden Stone was very clever; he didn't refute Xiao Li himself, but brought up the Four Directions Pavilion.
After all, the Four Directions Pavilion was a super-large force in the Central Plains, and not many people dared to challenge their authority.
Although he didn't know what force was behind Xiao Li.
Bringing up the Four Directions Pavilion would definitely not be wrong.
"It seems you don't understand what I'm saying."
Xiao Li waved his hand, and the azure dragon heavenly ship behind him immediately shot out a huge, pitch-black energy cannon, carrying terrifying power and pressure, directly towards the territory of the Gold-Devouring Rat Clan!
Golden Stone and Golden Valley's expressions changed instantly.
"Gold-Devouring Array!"
A golden barrier immediately opened, blocking above the mountain range.
But, it was useless!
This barrier, which was enough to block a full-strength attack from anyone below a Dou Zun, was like white paper in front of the azure dragon heavenly ship's attack, instantly shattered.
Boom—!
A mountain belonging to the territory of the Gold-Devouring Rat Clan was directly razed to the ground!
As for how many Gold-Devouring Rats were inside, Xiao Li didn't care.
"You!"
Golden Stone's eyes widened in anger.
He actually attacked without a word, and even directly blew up one of their mountains!
They had clearly deployed the barrier in time, but they didn't expect it to be penetrated by Xiao Li's cannon shot.
To break it with one shot would require at least the strength of a Dou Zun expert.
But now, Xiao Li blew it up with one shot?!
"You still have one last chance. If you make the wrong choice again, the next shot might be aimed at you."
The azure dragon heavenly ship once again opened its dragon head, brewing terrifying power, aiming at the Gold-Devouring Rat Clan below.
Reason?
Firepower is the hardest reason!
He had been very polite, courtesy before force.
Since talking nicely didn't work, he also knew a bit of fisticuffs.
Looking at the energy cannon gradually forming on the azure dragon heavenly ship, Golden Stone and the others' expressions were very grim.
If they didn't agree, the next shot would fall.
Golden Stone and Golden Valley might have a chance to escape, but what about the other Gold-Devouring Rats?
If only a clan leader and a Grand Elder survived, would their race still exist?
"Alright, let's go!"
Golden Stone gritted his teeth and finally yielded.
"Clan Leader!"
Golden Valley still wanted to say something, but Golden Stone interrupted him,
"Don't say anything more. Immediately order the clansmen to leave Tianmu Mountain."
Although doing so was humiliating, compared to losing their lives, Golden Stone still chose the latter.
After all, they were not some super-large force, and they were also a magical beast clan, so losing face was just losing face.
Preserving their lives was paramount.
Soon, under the call of Golden Stone and Golden Valley, all the Gold-Devouring Rats quickly ran down the mountain.
There were no Gold-Devouring Rats left in the surrounding mountains.
"Let's go."
Xiao Li led the three women towards the Tianshan Blood Pool... The Tianshan Blood Pool was located inside a volcano, its blood-red liquid as eerie as fresh blood.
"This is the Tianshan Blood Pool below. All of you go down and soak in it."
"Brother Li, aren't you going to soak?" Han Yue asked.
"I don't need to. The Tianshan Blood Pool has the best effect on those below Dou Zong. It doesn't have much effect on me anymore." Xiao Li was already a Seven Star Dou Zong, so the Tianshan Blood Pool would only have a slight effect on him at most.
It was better to leave this energy for Han Yue and the others.
"Oh."
Han Yue and Han Xue didn't ask further and quickly walked down towards the bottom of the volcano.
Medusa stood still at the side.
"Why aren't you going down?"
"Didn't you say that the Tianshan Blood Pool is only useful for those below Dou Zong? This king is already a Three-Star Dou Zong." Medusa's face still carried a hint of arrogance.
She seemed to be saying, 'I am different from those two.'
"A Three-Star Dou Zong can also soak. Otherwise, would I have brought you all this way for nothing?"
"Go, get down there and soak." Xiao Li's tone was unquestionable.
Medusa was stunned for a moment by his words: "I'll go if I go, why are you shouting?!"
She snorted coldly and flew down towards the bottom of the volcano.
Xiao Li waited outside the volcano.
Although the people of the Gold-Devouring Rat Clan had left, those who were still trying to pass the trials were actively making their way over.
And Xiao Li was also waiting for two people... Those who came to pass the trials for the Tianshan Blood Pool did not know that the Tianshan Blood Pool had already been occupied.
Finally, many people successfully arrived at the Tianshan Stone Platform.
Among them, leading the way were naturally Feng Qing'er, Mu Qingluan, and other members of the Four Directions Pavilion.
There were also a few rogue cultivators.
However, when they arrived at the Tianshan Stone Platform, what awaited them was not the people of the Gold-Devouring Rat Clan, but Xiao Li.
"It seems there are quite a few capable people in the North Region of the Central Plains."
"Who are you?"
Although everyone didn't know Xiao Li.
The azure dragon heavenly ship hovering in the sky behind Xiao Li clearly indicated his identity.
"I am Xiao Li. I have already reserved all the spots for the Tianshan Blood Pool. You all came too late." Xiao Li said with a smile.
"Xiao Li?" Feng Qing'er had never heard this name, but she was very doubtful of Xiao Li's words,
"The Tianshan Blood Pool is managed by the Gold-Devouring Rat Clan. You have no right to decide." Feng Qing'er said.
"Gold-Devouring Rat Clan? You all look around. Are there any Gold-Devouring Rats left?" Xiao Li said with a smile.
At his words, the others also noticed that the Gold-Devouring Rat Clan, who should have been waiting at the Tianshan Stone Platform, were now completely absent.
There was only Xiao Li alone!
"The Gold-Devouring Rat Clan has all been driven away by me. I am in charge of the Tianmu Mountain Range now, and the Tianshan Blood Pool is also mine." Xiao Li said.
"The Tianshan Blood Pool is a publicly accessible treasure land for the entire North Region of the Central Plains. What right do you have to monopolize it?" Wang Chen of the Yellow Springs Pavilion said coldly.
"What right do I have?"
Xiao Li couldn't help but want to laugh.
The azure dragon heavenly ship behind him once again condensed an energy projectile, aiming at Wang Chen and the others,
"Just by the fact that I can kill everyone present."
The aura emanating from the energy projectile surpassed that of an ordinary Dou Zong, making Feng Qing'er and the others feel an indescribable pressure.
Undoubtedly, if Xiao Li made a move, no one present would be able to withstand this attack!
"By doing this, aren't you afraid of our Four Directions Pavilion's wrath?" Mu Qingluan also stepped forward.
They had gone through so much trouble to get here, only to find that someone had monopolized the Tianshan Blood Pool?
Wasn't this making a fool of them?
"That seems to be the case. You all came here with such difficulty, only to find that the Tianshan Blood Pool has been taken over by me. You must be unconvinced."
Xiao Li pointed at Feng Qing'er and Mu Qingluan: "How about this, I'll offer two spots, just for the two of you."
