Eternal life begins with saving my clan

Chapter 410 The Necoris Retaliation.

Days passed, and the influence of the Celestial Heavenly Store spread to every corner of the Soaring Cloud Region. Even small towns and villages were not exempt from its reach.

With the Spirit Comms, villagers transporting their goods to the city no longer lived in fear. They could now check the prices of their goods before selling them to merchants.

This development significantly reduced exploitation by unscrupulous traders, which infuriated many merchants.

To the commoners living in towns and villages, the Celestial Heavenly Store was a blessing from heaven.

They had endured oppression for far too long at the hands of powerful clans and merchants.

But now, all that had changed.

All they needed was a Spirit Comms device and a subscription to its services to connect with others across the Soaring Cloud Region.

Additionally, the opportunity to cultivate was made available by the Celestial Heavenly Store.

People were given two options to acquire powerful cultivation techniques: either join the Adventurer Guild or exchange rare resources or vital information.

The first option suited those in the cities, but the second option became their go-to choice for those in smaller towns and villages who lacked the means to join the Adventurer Guild.

Like wildfire, many ordinary farmers and hunters quickly formed teams to explore the mountains and forests in their vicinity.

Within three days, the Celestial Heavenly Store received numerous notifications from excited commoners reporting their findings.

In a small village called Yellow Sand, a team of hunters discovered a Spirit Stone Vein.

When the news reached the Intelligence Guild, it was immediately relayed to the upper echelons of the store.

Although the ordinary hunters didn't fully understand the significance of a Spirit Vein, they knew anything capable of stimulating blood Qi in people was valuable.

A Barren Land soldier was dispatched to Yellow Sand Village to verify the claim, and upon seeing the high-grade Spirit Vein, he was flabbergasted.

The following day, a powerful formation was erected around the mountain where the Spirit Vein was found, and the lives of the Yellow Sand villagers changed drastically.

When news of the Celestial Heavenly Store establishing a branch in Yellow Sand Village appeared on You Connect, it left everyone stunned.

What was going on?

Why would the mighty Celestial Heavenly Store create a branch in such a backward village?

Confusion and curiosity spread like wildfire, but no one dared to pry too much.

The deaths of the Prime Minister and the Clear Wind City Lord were still fresh in their minds.

While the Soaring Cloud Region was in a frenzy, ushering in an era of information and prosperity, outsiders were scheming.

Forces beyond the region plotted to seize control of the Soaring Cloud Region and claim the Celestial Heavenly Store for themselves.

In the Imperial Capital, inside the towering palace that pierced the sky, a middle-aged man sat on his throne, a light frown etched on his face.

He looked at the two men standing before him and asked, "What do you think?"

"Your Majesty, we must respond with full force to show our might," an old, scrawny man replied forcefully.

"We cannot let our enemies perceive this as a weakness. We must use this opportunity to demonstrate to the Necoris and the mixed-blood bastards that we are not to be trifled with."

His voice was filled with righteous indignation.

"I agree with Councilor Li," Yi Qian nodded. "The death of the Prime Minister is a stain on the kingdom's prestige, one that must be erased with overwhelming force. Your Majesty, I recommend deploying our full military might to annihilate this hidden power."

"But what of the Necoris? If we send our full force to the Soaring Cloud Region, will they not exploit the opportunity?" the King questioned, his gaze sharp as he studied Yi Qian.

"Your Majesty, according to our spies, the Necoris lost over a hundred thousand men in the Soaring Cloud Region. Right now, their primary focus will be on regrouping and dealing with their losses rather than attacking us," Councilor Li interjected confidently.

"Very well. Deploy the Imperial Army to eradicate this hidden power and their accomplices," the King commanded decisively.

Meanwhile, in a Ghost Wind Valley, hundreds of Necoris soldiers moved stealthily, their faces etched with killing intent.

In the distance, a small village came into view, and they gripped their weapons tightly.

"You all know the mission. Failure is not an option. Death awaits those who falter," Misco growled, his voice heavy with menace.

The Necoris soldiers rushed toward the village at their fastest speed.

The guards patrolling the village barely had time to react before arrows pierced their chests, killing them instantly.

Within ten minutes, the village lay in ruins, its inhabitants slaughtered.

Without hesitation, the Necoris departed, heading for their next target. With the advent of Spirit Comms, time was of the essence.

In less than a day, five villages had been reduced to ashes, their inhabitants massacred.

News of the Necoris attacks spread rapidly on the Spirit Comms network, and You Connect buzzed with reports of the destruction.

All the villages attacked by the Necoris fell under the jurisdiction of Ironmist City.

The following day, the Ironmist City Lord deployed soldiers to hunt down the attackers, but none returned.

The news sent shock waves throughout the Ironmist City region. The brutality of the Necoris was well known, and people prayed fervently for swift action to end the terror.

But their fears deepened when a small town in Jadefall City became the next target.

The sudden attack on the town heightened tensions across the region. It had been a long time since the Necoris had gone on such a killing spree, leaving everyone on edge.

Despite deploying powerful martial artists to hunt the Necoris, none were found. It was as though the attackers had vanished into thin air.

In a village under the jurisdiction of Clear Wind City, the Necoris soldiers began another round of massacres.

Blood soaked the ground, and the helpless screams of the villagers filled the air.

Standing atop the village chief's residence, Misco surveyed the carnage, his face twisted into a sinister grin.

"We will not stop until they are all annihilated," he declared, his voice dripping with vengeance.

Licking the blood from his face, he barked, "Move out!"
