"Hmm?"
Hearing this, the cadres immediately became interested.
Disobedient?
Then beat them until they obey!
The Demon Country's friendly attitude towards the Tengu Clan was entirely based on the relationship between Elder Bai and Feng.
Otherwise, if it were another race, they would have already pushed through forcefully.
Hmm, I'm talking about you, Lizardmen!
Shion and Ice Empress had already agreed.
Once the Tengu problem was resolved, they would ask Bai Luo for permission to subdue the Lizardmen's wetlands.
"My Lord!"
Star Fang: "The Wolf Clan is willing to be the vanguard!"
"In yesterday's battle, the Oni Clan's lads didn't get to fight to their heart's content."
Red King also refused to be outdone: "I heard that the Tengu Clan has innate divine strength, and my Oni Clan has long wanted to test their mettle!"
"And us Goblins."
Ligulude flexed his muscles, striking various poses: "Managing prisoners and transporting supplies, please rest assured and leave it to us, Bai Luo!"
"Alright, alright."
"Calm down first, everyone."
Bai Luo shook his head and said, "The Tengu Clan's strength is not weak."
Bai Luo: "As far as I know, the leaders of the Tengu Clan throughout history have been able to gain the blessings of the Mountain God."
Bai Luo: "Their strength is comparable to a Demon Lord Seed."
Judging by magic essence, Hongye was roughly equivalent to a Demon Lord Seed with 300,000 magic essence.
Of course, only the magic essence quantity reached that level.
The strength of a monster depends on two things: magic essence and skills.
Hongye didn't have any powerful Unique Skills.
So, in a real fight, as long as your magic essence breaks through 100,000, you can be considered on the same level as her.
Below 10,000, 10,000 to 100,000, 100,000 to 1,000,000.
Within these three stages, the amount of magic essence is not the key to determining strength; Unique Skills are.
"Special A-Rank..."
Hearing about Hongye's strength, the cadres immediately knew that they might not be her match.
However, Artoria, Snow Empress, and Egui Peng remained unfazed.
"So, Hong Maru is not her match?"
Red King was worried that his son would suffer a loss there.
Of course, Red King didn't care if Hong Maru lost an arm or a leg.
What he was worried about was whether Hong Maru had embarrassed Bai Luo.
Hmm, indeed a loving father.
Daughters are treasures, sons are weeds.
It's an old tradition of the Red Oni family.
"Not at all."
Bai Luo anticipated the possibility of a battle.
He now had plenty of magic essence, which he could use to boost his retainers.
So, he immediately sent enough magic essence to Hong Maru, allowing him to break through to Special A-Rank.
Also upgraded were Shion, Zhu Cai, Cang Ying, as well as Ice Empress and Yustizafull.
"Hong Maru, having reached Special A-Rank, successfully defeated Hongye with his Unique Skill."
Although it wasn't an instant kill like in the original work, he still won relatively easily.
"Lost, and still dare to show attitude?"
Ice Empress felt her anger surge: "Those Tengu are a bit too ungrateful, aren't they?"
She was also Special A-Rank now and considered her strength to be above Hong Maru's.
If even Hong Maru could win, she certainly could too.
"It seems there's a big problem within the Tengu Clan."
Artoria analyzed: "As the strongest, Hongye was defeated by us, but the other side still maintains a strong attitude."
What does this indicate?
It indicates that some Tengu don't take Hongye seriously.
They don't acknowledge Hongye's strength.
Or rather, they weren't afraid because of Hongye's defeat.
"So, who exactly are they?"
And as keen as Artoria was the Snow Empress; she also detected the internal conflict within the Tengu Clan.
"The xenophobic faction, or rather, the hawks."
Bai Luo: "It is because of them that our plans have been hindered."
Bai Luo actually went to the Tengu Clan with good intentions.
First, joining Bai Luo meant that all members would receive a name.
For the Tengu Clan, with a population of tens of thousands, this was simply a godsend.
As for receiving a name and becoming Bai Luo's subjects.
It should be known that naming a monster, in severe cases, could directly cause the namer to die.
Bai Luo took such a great risk to name them.
It's reasonable for you to offer your loyalty, isn't it?
"However, the fact that I am willing to bestow names is currently only known to Elder Feng."
Bai Luo said with a serious expression, "I am not a pushover; I will not do things like shamelessly offering benefits to others."
"So, this is a test for the Tengu Clan?"
Snow Empress immediately understood Bai Luo's intention; he was screening the Tengu Clan for those worthy of his acceptance.
"Elder Feng is a smart person."
"No, I should say, she trusts Elder Bai enough."
Elder Feng trusted Elder Bai, knowing that he wouldn't joke about such matters.
And if the naming matter was true.
Bai Luo's sincerity would truly be overwhelming.
"As expected of the Tengu Clan Elder who has managed the Sacred Mountain for 300 years, she is a farsighted woman."
Snow Empress nodded silently, developing a good impression of Elder Feng.
The other cadres were the same.
No one dislikes smart people, especially when the other party also has the identity of Elder Bai's wife.
Bai Luo serves as the chief instructor in the Demon Country.
The old man possesses an extraordinary demeanor, a true grandmaster, deeply beloved by all.
"After all, she's Bai Luo's wife, so by extension, she's one of us."
Bai Luo was aware of Elder Feng's situation.
Having given birth to Hong Ye, she had transferred almost all of her magic essence to her and even named her.
Elder Feng, having lost her magic essence, was now bedridden, and her condition was not optimistic.
"Is there a way to treat her?"
Zhu Cai and Zhu Cai were somewhat concerned about the condition of Bai Luo's wife.
"It's just a minor issue."
However, Bai Luo didn't take it seriously.
It was merely a lack of magic essence.
For such a small matter, was Violet's eight million magic essence reserve a joke?
Just giving Elder Feng some magic essence would immediately make her lively and energetic.
"And she also made a request, neither too big nor too small."
"A request, you say..."
Zhu Cai: "Since she is Lord Bai Luo's wife, we can certainly listen."
"However, if it's too much, Lord Bai Luo cannot agree."
"Yes."
Snow Empress: "At worst, I'll go myself."
"Haha."
Hearing everyone's discussion, Bai Luo smiled faintly: "Actually, it's nothing much, just a marriage alliance."
"Marriage alliance?"
"Who with whom?"
"If it's with Master, that's absolutely not allowed!"
Upon hearing of a marriage alliance, the girls in Bai Luo's household immediately couldn't sit still.
Their reaction was even more intense than when they had heard about the hawkish resistance earlier.
"Ahem, that, it's not me."
Bai Luo quickly interrupted some people's fantasies.
If Snow Empress and Snow Empress were to hear that the Tengu Clan wanted to form a marriage alliance with Bai Luo, they would likely rush over on the spot and wipe out the other side.
What kind of trash dares to make such a request!
They're practically asking for death!
