Chapter 405 Guan Yus Potential Threa (2/2)

Zhang He had been observing the situation for many days. When he received Liu Bei's secret message that they wanted to cooperate, Zhang He relayed the matter to Tong via clan chat.

Unfortunately, Tong sent an iron fist order, ”Kill Liu Bei and his sworn brothers whenever you have the chance. Ignore all façade, politic, or formality.”

It shocked everyone that Tong had a secret grudge against Liu Bei even though they hardly met or quarreled against the others.

Through the peaceful years, Liu Bei's name had spread in Hongnong because of his character. As a kind and virtuous character, he won the heart of Hongnong's peasants, minor officers, and even the governor Yuan Yin.

Obviously, Xun You, Xun Yu, Ju Shou, and many officers disagreed with Tong's order since Liu Bei's influence had brainwashed Hongnong Commandery's civilians recently. They might suffer a backlash from the townsmen had they offended Liu Bei without a good reason.

However, the next intelligence report changed their mind.

Guan Yu had four angel wings!

Zhang He sweated when he heard that a potential enemy had grown so many wings in a short period. Even Medusa and Friday were shocked.

Tong: ”Oh, boy. Do I have to go there myself and fight him myself?”

Li Feihong: ”How many wings do you have, Tong?”

Tong: ”Four, almost five. I need a bit of push to get there.”

Li Feihong: ”I have 3 souls now. Should I teleport to Ye and pick you up?”

Tong: ”I have another idea. How many lifespans do you have?”

Li Feihong: ”Almost 12mil. Why? Need some for your skills?”

Tong and all otherworlders had not received a quest from Lilim anymore. As a consequence, they had to acquire their upkeep lifespans by harvesting lifespans with their power. Currently, only Li Feihong, Lu Bu, Zhang He, Xu Huang, and Zhang Liao could gather life forces and contribute to the clan asset. As for Tong, Dong Bai, and Diaochan, they had to obtain lifespans through draining dead bodies.

Tong: ”Put 10 into the clan.”

Li Feihong: ”We'll lose five million as Lilim's tax, you know.”

Tong: ”It doesn't matter. Five million is enough to get 50 of our officers a right to grow wings. We can't wait anymore. I'm going to upgrade all of our generals into either angels or demons.”

Li Feihong was decisive. He transferred his hard-earned lifespans to the clan without batting an eye. Ten million lifespans were reduced to five million in the clan asset.

Tong bought cultivation manuals for all of his great generals right away.

Also

Tong: ”Friday, Medusa, how many wings do you guys have now?”

Dong Bai and Diaochan had bought their demonic cultivation manual and the right to cultivate from Lilim long ago. It cost them a million to get their power back, and they had to rebuild their strength from scratch.

However, as demonesses who had once obtained four wings and eight wings, recultivating Soul of Sins was easy for them.

Dong Bai: ”Only 2 wings, boohoo!”

Diaochan: ”Four.”

Dong Bai: ”Meddy is unfair! How did you grow wings so fast!?”

Diaochan: ”I once had eight wings, so it was a simple task for me. Just concentrate on the trait that you are good at, and you'll get it back in no time. I'm close to getting the fifth and the sixth soon.”

Dong Bai: ”Waaaa! Not fair!”

Tong: ”Well, good. For now, I'll make an announcement to all of our officers. We'll select their cultivation choice by their personality and their achievements.”

As Guan Yu's growing in power threat was looming in the corner, Tong sacrificed Li Feihong's back-up lifespans to accelerate their general's growth.

Now, Tong wanted everyone to become immortals.

.

Because of Guan Yu's threat, Zhang He and Ghost Legion were recalled to Henei, so he and his subordinates could take their time to cultivate their new power.

Zhang He already had three virtuous souls, which he had started cultivating since the day Tong had distributed his skills to his subordinates. Unfortunately, the gap between the four-winged angel and three-winged was too vast, so Tong did not want to take risks sending Zhang He to face Guan Yu.

The Ghost Legion's great general was vexed as well. He blamed himself for now meeting Tong's standard, which resulted in his retreat.

'I'm not strong enough. I need to get stronger!'

All Zhang He's subordinates were the same when they received the blessing from Lilim. When they heard that Tong and Li Feihong sacrificed their assets to bestow them the cultivation manual, their motivation grew, as well as their faith toward Tong's Han Dynasty.

Han Hao, Gao Lan, and Qu Yi chose the difficult path of demonic cultivation as they wished to become like Tong one day.

Generals under the Demonic Legion, Zhang Xiu and Zhang Ji, also chose the demonic path since they had tutors with many black wings.

As for the rest, everyone chose the angel path since it was easier to cultivate.

As for those with exceptional talents, such as Zhao Yun and Taishi Ci, they got two angel wings right away on the first day he got the manual.

Unfortunately, the next generation had not received their cultivation manual yet, as Tong found it that they had not proven themselves.

Sima Yi, Wei Yan, and Liu Xie retreated along with Zhang He in frustration. They thought that their chance had come, but Tong ruined it because of his cowardice.

None of them was aware of the immortal power behind the scene.
