"The benefits aren’t many; the key one is that they can accept another candidate for the deputy of the Inherited Divine Messenger," Ye Zhen said slowly.

"Deputy of the Inherited Divine Messenger?" Princess Changle raised her elegant eyebrows, her beautiful eyes suddenly bursting with a stunning brilliance, and her expression was somewhat surprised.

The reason Princess Changle was moved was chiefly because the position of the Inherited Divine Messenger was exceedingly crucial.

If, in today’s conflict, Ye Zhen, the Inherited Divine Messenger, was not present and only Princess Changle, the Hall Master, was there, things would become very tricky.

Unless Princess Changle initially offered her drop of Creation Spirit Blood as a sacrifice to summon Divine Archer Yiz Lie to assist her.

Only then could she threaten the Seventh Grand Power Sacrifice, Tumen Changyin.

But with Ye Zhen, the Inherited Divine Messenger, present, he could easily call upon Divine Archer Yiz Lie without any cost, who would assist in the battle and cooperate at any time.

If Ye Zhen were not present and Princess Changle wanted Yiz Lie’s help to target the Second Grand Power Sacrifice Tongna with Arrow Intent, it would not be easy.

Don’t think these tributing Ancient God War Spirits are easy to deal with; other than the Inherited Divine Messenger, others can’t move them without a cost.

Moreover, if any other requests are made, additional benefits must be given.

But Ye Zhen’s situation is entirely different. After calling them to assist in a battle, as long as a certain amount of Essence Blood is sacrificed afterward to show appreciation, that’s all that’s needed.

Generally, there can only be one Inherited Divine Messenger.

But if the Ancient God War Spirits agree, it’s possible to have more than one or two deputies as Inherited Divine Messengers.

In other words, obtaining this position means that even without Ye Zhen, Princess Changle could contend with Tumen Changyin.

This completely remedies the Barbarian Spirit Hall’s shortcoming of no daily sacrifices.

This was the real reason for Princess Changle’s interest.

"What’s his condition?"

The benefits were certainly tempting, but it all depended on the other’s condition.

"Divine Archer Yiz Lie’s condition is naturally your Creation Spirit Blood, Changle. However, he knows this Creation Spirit Blood is extremely precious, so he allowed me to negotiate with you and gave me an authorized range!" Ye Zhen said with a smile.

"Authorized range?" Princess Changle was somewhat confused.

"Divine Archer Yiz Lie instructed me to obtain as much Creation Spirit Blood as possible, ideally the entire drop you just condensed.

However, he said that if you are unwilling to trade, I can lower the price, at worst, to gain half of the drop you just condensed!" Ye Zhen said.

"Half?"

Princess Changle was a bit taken aback. Giving away that drop of Creation Spirit Blood would be a significant loss for her in the future.

Although it wasn’t as exaggerated as the Second Grand Power Sacrifice, Tongna said, needing thousands of years to reconsolidate it when her cultivation reached the pinnacle of the Dao Realm.

Conservatively estimated, when her cultivation reaches the point where she can condense Creation Spirit Blood, that single drop would cost her at least five hundred to a thousand years of hard work.

After all, this drop of Creation Spirit Blood contains the precious inheritance of the Barbarian Clan’s Holy Woman, the latent power of Inherited Laws and Dao Patterns within her, which is incredibly valuable.

Even hundreds of thousands of years’ worth of cost, even Princess Changle, couldn’t afford at this moment.

But if it’s half, that means a twentieth of that drop of Creation Spirit Blood.

In other words, the cost for Princess Changle might amount to thirty to fifty years of hard work; three to five decades of effort, which Princess Changle could bear.

"Ha! As the Inherited Divine Messenger of Divine Archer Yiz Lie, I’ve exhausted my eloquence and used much thought to make Princess Changle relent, giving away half of the drop of Creation Spirit Blood!" At this point, Ye Zhen couldn’t hold back a smile.

"Is there any Inherited Divine Messenger like you who swindles their own Ancient God War Spirits?" Princess Changle gave Ye Zhen a playful glance.

"Not just me, but soon you and I will both be in it!" Ye Zhen laughed.

Ye Zhen meant that they’d form a pair of Inherited Divine Messengers who swindle their own Ancient God War Spirits. But hearing this, Princess Changle’s heart inexplicably fluttered, and her charming face blushed again.

The deputy of the Inherited Divine Messenger was the main benefit Divine Archer Yiz Lie offered.

According to Divine Archer Yiz Lie, even acquiring half of that drop of Creation Spirit Blood can slightly heal the key injuries of the Ancient God they serve.

It can also awaken another heavily injured war spirit from slumber and restore its injuries to about fifty percent, allowing it to respond to Ye Zhen’s requests and fight.

This would greatly strengthen the combat power of Holy Spirit Peak, significantly enhancing the Barbarian Spirit Hall’s priests’ improvement, and rapidly boosting their strength.

However, after discussing with Princess Changle, Ye Zhen decided not to disclose this matter.

The deputy of the Inherited Divine Messenger, including the offering of half of that drop of Creation Spirit Blood, must be done secretly, possibly having a surprising effect at a critical moment.

With Princess Changle’s position as Hall Master, this matter is entirely feasible.

Because of this decision, Ye Zhen spent a few more days in Luoyi.

He found a time with Princess Changle to secretly stimulate that drop of Creation Spirit Blood for sacrifice.

Originally, that drop of Creation Spirit Blood was about the size of a soybean, and giving away half made it only half the size of a grain of rice, appearing very small.

Nevertheless, Divine Archer Yiz Lie was very happy.

"Ye Zhen, we trust you with the task at hand! It’s clear that you’re sincerely committed to our cause, even going so far as to manage such matters of power distribution with such dedication. Rest assured, our Lii Clan won’t let you down!

If you ever need anything in the future, feel free to use the Secret Technique to contact us, and we’ll do our utmost to assist!"

Divine Archer Yiz Lie was so straightforward that it made Ye Zhen feel a bit embarrassed.

In truth, he hadn’t put in much effort, and had simply negotiated with Princess Changle to settle for a half-share.

The power distribution mentioned by Yiz Lie actually pertained to the role of the Deputy Inherited Divine Messenger.

With an additional Deputy Inherited Divine Messenger, Ye Zhen’s power and influence as the Inherited Divine Messenger would be considerably reduced.

This was what Yiz Lie was referring to.

However, for Ye Zhen and Princess Changle, it made no difference at all.

"It’s no big deal. By the way, General Yiz Lie, you mentioned that after acquiring this bit of Creation Spirit Blood, another severely wounded War Spirit would awaken and regain combat capability.

Could you tell me which War Spirit it is and what skills they excel in?" Ye Zhen asked.

Divine Archer Yiz Lie chuckled, "You’ll know when the time comes.

But rest assured, every person in our Lii Clan, whether before or after death, is a valiant warrior and a master in battle.

From what I can see, your position in this Ancestor God Temple is not easy, so once that War Spirit recovers, if they join me in battle, our destructive and deterrent power will increase exponentially!"

"In a month at the earliest, or three months at the latest, you’ll find out," Divine Archer Yiz Lie added.

Since Divine Archer Yiz Lie put it this way, Ye Zhen could only let it go for now.

However, if what Divine Archer Yiz Lie said about exponentially increasing their destructive and deterrent power was true, then it was definitely worth anticipating.

Divine Archer Yiz Lie, under the enhancement of the War Spirit Sacrificial War Formation, could solely with Arrow Intent keep the Seventh Grand Power Sacrifice Tumen Changyin of the Late Dao Realm from losing focus.

If their destructive and deterrent power were to multiply again, the results would surely be intriguing.

The only pity is that the scenario where Divine Archer Yiz Lie firmly suppressed the Seventh Grand Power Sacrifice Tumen Changyin happened only within the Barbarian Spirit Hall.

Outside the Barbarian Spirit Hall, Divine Archer Yiz Lie’s combat power would significantly decline.

This concluded the affairs in Luoyi.

The once precarious situation had dramatically turned around after Ye Zhen riskily wiped out the Heavenly Temple Luozhou Branch.

Ye Zhen’s own crisis was averted, but the two Demon Clan pawns under him reaped great benefits.

In addition, the Seventh Route Wind Patrol Envoy Liang You, under the Southern Patrol, also sent word.

He performed a drama of painstakingly finding the Ancient Teleportation Formation Token in Shahe City, not only eliminating the looming threat but also cementing his position.

According to his report, he had been selected by the Southern Patrol as part of a checkpoint team to inspect the Tianming Marquis Country under the Heavenly Patrol Department.

Ye Zhen’s directive was to do whatever was necessary to infiltrate Tianming Marquis Country - if possible, withdraw capable ministers and generals and leave behind a group of unreliable sycophants, while strategically planting some pawns for future use.

Concerning the Tianming Marquis Country, Ye Zhen had already foreseen the situation.

Ren Venerate Emperor Ji Long’s timely intervention this time would certainly wreak havoc on the Tianming Marquis Country’s Primordial Energy.

However, with the Heavenly Temple backing the Tianming Marquis Country, and Ming Tang as a direct disciple of the Nine Suns Divine King, the country would suffer significant damage but would not face annihilation!

All Ye Zhen could do was plant some pawns in the current environment within Tianming Marquis Country for future use.

How to plant these pawns without them getting eradicated by Tianming Marquis Country later was something for Liang You, the Seventh Route Wind Patrol Envoy under the Southern Patrol, to worry about.

The personnel of the Heavenly Patrol Department excels at this sort of thing and wouldn’t need Ye Zhen’s instructions to effectively position usable pawns for the future.

Before leaving, Ye Zhen hesitated, pondering whether he should execute another big scheme like his last nighttime raid on thirty-one houses of princes and nobles, and take advantage of someone in the process?

Upon reflection, Ye Zhen decided against it.

When you walk by the river often, you’re bound to get your shoes wet.

Since Ye Zhen’s raid on thirty-one prince and noble houses in Luoyi that night, it was said that many major estates in Luoyi invested the most in renovating their Treasure Vaults and bolstering their defenses.

Each of them put in considerable effort!

Past mistakes serve as a warning!

If Ye Zhen tried to act the same way again, it would be difficult.

If caught, the consequences would be severe.

He decisively abandoned the idea!

After staying in Luoyi for over thirty days, Ye Zhen submitted his resignation to Ren Venerate Emperor Ji Long, bid farewell to Grand Celestial Official Wu Yu at the Grand Celestial Official’s Mansion, and left Luoyi in a hurry, setting off on his return journey as quickly as possible.

The five-year deadline was approaching day by day!
