I am the Clone of a Death Row Inmate

However, Su Ze knew his own situation best. His Legendary Combat Power was greatly inflated, mainly thanks to the boost from his ”Bloodthirsty” skill.

Without the boost from ”Bloodthirsty,” there was still a gap between him and a true Legendary expert.

Additionally, although Pulamon was a genuine Legendary expert, he had only just entered the Legendary rank and was by no means considered a powerhouse among them.

And that’s not to mention Mr. Ke. After all, he was old, and it was uncertain how many times he could even fight.

After chatting with Chen Suifeng for a bit, Su Ze also mentioned his upcoming plans. He was going to the Myriad Beast Mountain Range, and before leaving, he would place the ”Venerable-level Base Station” in Dongli to ensure Chen Suifeng and the others had uninterrupted communications.

The communications base station made from the head of a Spiritual Venerable had a wide coverage area, but at best, it could only cover the regions surrounding the Lin Hua Continent. It definitely couldn’t reach the Myriad Beast Mountain Range.

In other words, Su Ze would be out of contact for a while.

However, Chen Suifeng wasn’t worried about Su Ze’s safety. With Pulamon as an escort, plus the fact that Su Ze’s own combat power was not weak, there were few people on Blue Star who could threaten them.

”Oh, right!” Chen Suifeng said. ”You’ll have to pass through the Great Desert Kingdom on your way from Dongli to the Myriad Beast Mountain Range. There’s something I need you to take care of along the way.”

”What is it?”

”The Great Desert Kingdom is currently on the verge of splintering...”

”Is this the Alien Party’s doing again?”

”More or less. They’ve propped up another faction to oppose the rule of King Jasim of the Great Desert Kingdom.”

”You want me to eliminate that faction?”

”It doesn’t have to be that troublesome. You just need to eliminate the Great Desert Kingdom’s Saint Envoy. The only reason that faction dares to challenge the Great Desert Kingdom’s royal family is because they have the Great Desert Saint Envoy’s backing.”

”This Great Desert Saint Envoy, is he from the Nian Race too?”

”No, he’s a human from Blue Star, but he’s a staunch member of the Alien Party. We’ve had tentative contact with him and have also conducted an in-depth investigation. We can now confirm that he likely knows part of the truth, but still chooses to side with the Alien Party.”

”Understood. A ’race traitor’ of the Human Race, then.”

”Yes. When you kill him, try not to cause too much of a commotion. Don’t let anyone know it was you, to avoid further escalating the conflict between us and the Alien Party. Pushing the Ancient An Country out to draw their fire was just a delaying tactic. The conflict between us and the Alien Party has reached the point of being as irreconcilable as fire and water. They’ve basically confirmed that we know their identities, so I estimate we can’t delay for much longer. The Lin Hua Continent is about to ’splinter’ as well.”

Hearing this, Su Ze’s expression turned grim. He knew that this so-called ’splintering’ couldn’t possibly be a peaceful separation; it would inevitably be accompanied by a great war.

Once the split happened, the Mu Country and Luofan Country would inevitably fall under the control of the Nian Race. Dongli would definitely stand firm with the Blue Star Party, but the fate of the Ancient An Country was still uncertain—it might even fall into the hands of the Filth Earth Organization.

The Great Desert Kingdom’s allegiance, however, was yet to be decided. Coupled with its proximity to Lin Hua Country and its connection to both Luofan Country and Mu Country, its geographical location was extremely important. Therefore, the Great Desert Kingdom had now become a strategic point that both sides had to contest. And that was precisely why all of this was happening now.

Su Ze agreed without hesitation. Killing a Venerable was not a difficult task for him now.

”Also, as for King Jasim of the Great Desert Kingdom, see if you can placate him depending on the situation. If that doesn’t work, just appoint a new king,” Chen Suifeng added.

”So King Jasim’s loyalty is questionable?”

”We’ve been in contact with him before. He has, for now, joined the Blue Star Party, but his stance isn’t firm. If we find ourselves at a clear disadvantage, he’s very likely to defect to the Alien Party.”

”Alright, I’ll go check it out first and see.” Su Ze paused, then brought up another matter. ”I’ve collected five Bloodline Crystals. Mr. Fen, can you help me look up what the signature skills of these five people are?”

This wasn’t a difficult task, so Chen Suifeng immediately agreed.

After ending the call with Chen Suifeng, it wasn’t long before Pulamon also returned to the stronghold.

Following Su Ze’s instructions, Pulamon settled his subordinates, telling them to stand down and recuperate. He himself then used ”recovering from his injuries” as an excuse to leave temporarily.

Su Ze, along with Mr. Ya and Pulamon, the three of them left the stronghold and headed for Dongli.

...

The great battle in the Ancient An Country shocked the entire Lin Hua Continent, sparking heated discussions online.

No one had expected that the government of the Ancient An Country, including the Gu’an Saint Envoy, had long been colluding with the Filth Earth Organization.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that although Lin Hua Country had repelled the Filth Earth Organization and retaken the Ancient An Country, it couldn’t restore stability to the nation.

This was mainly because the Filth Earth Organization’s experts hadn’t suffered significant losses. A large number of their low- and mid-level Tainted Ones had also withdrawn from the Ancient An Country long ago, suffering no major casualties.

They had more than enough strength to make a comeback!

In the long run, the situation was unfavorable for Lin Hua Country. They had neither the strength nor the inclination for a long-term defense.

The distance between the Ancient An Country and Lin Hua Country was too great; one was at the northernmost tip of the Lin Hua Continent, and the other was at the southernmost tip.

Unless Lin Hua Country was willing to have the Legendary Deng Sui guard the Ancient An Country long-term.

But Lin Hua Country clearly had no such intention, as rumors had already begun to circulate that the people of the Ancient An Country were being told to pack their bags and prepare for a great migration south in the near future.

Apparently, Lin Hua Country was adopting the same policy it had used for the Peninsula Country: they were going to break up the populace of the Ancient An Country and resettle them in Mu Country, Luofan Country, and Lin Hua Country.

This triggered fierce opposition from the people of the Ancient An Country; after all, they had the cautionary tale of the Peninsula Country.

Many refugees from the Peninsula Country still lacked a stable place to settle down, even now. The citizens of the Ancient An Country did not want to suffer the same fate.
