"What is the situation with the Su clan?" Wu Bin asked her maid.
"They deployed their soldiers," she responded calmly
."Really?" Wu Bin said with obvious scorn.
"Did they think their measly Metal Bone Construct would help them against the Blood Whisperer?"
"I thought Su Yen was wiser than this, but I guess I overestimated him… Tsk."
She clicked her tongue and looked down from the eight-story building.
"When they come to ask for us, don't respond. It is time for them to learn their place," she said and waved her hand to send the maid out.
Left alone, a slight frown appeared on her face.
"Is the Li clan master crazy? How could he initiate the Blood Whisperer? I should inform the headquarters..." She thought aloud.
"This time around, I think the Barren Land is doomed."
In the southern barren land, inside the Huang manor.
Seated on her throne, Huang Yin looked at her junior with a slight shock on her cold face.
"Is what you said the truth?" She asked, still not believing that some foolish people would set loose the Blood Whisperer.
"Yes, elder sister. Now, every family is in a panic. We don't know when the Blood Whisperer will extend their bloodsucking reach to other cities," Huang Guo said and took a pause to arrange his thoughts before he continued.
"They're currently focusing on the Su clan. Everyone believes the Li clan must be the one behind the appearance of the Blood Whisperer."
"What! Is Li Xian that stupid to call the Blood Whisperer into our land?" Huang Yin was both shocked and furious.
"How is the situation of the Su clan?" She asked with concern.
"No one knows. Our informants reported that the Su clan had deployed all their soldiers to every part of their territory…" He paused, and his expression turned solemn.
"But I don't think it's going to change anything. The Blood Whisperer is not something armor could contend with."
Hearing this, a deep worry flashed through Huang Yin's face before she covered it with a cold, aloof expression.
Taking a deep breath, she said seriously, "When the Su clan requested our aid, immediately send our soldiers to help."
When Huang Guo heard this, he was astounded, and his jaw dropped.
"S-Sister…!"
He looked at her as if he were looking at another person entirely.
"Don't look at me like that… Now get out. Your face irritates me," she released a bit of power, and Huang Guo chuckled and retreated out of the hall.
"Is it possible for my sister to fall for that gigolo…" He grinned.
Inside the hall, the cold aloofness of Huang Yin had long disappeared and was replaced with deep worry.
"Should I go and lend him a helping hand?"
To others, she was only a Peak Body Building realm stage 9 expert, but she had recently had a breakthrough to the Qi Refinement stage 1.
Thus, without Su Yen, she would be the most powerful person in the whole of the barren land.
Meanwhile, as the barren land was in panic with everyone on edge.
Su Yen led a troop of one thousand soldiers toward the Li clan. Midway, Su Yen raised his hand and everyone came to a stop.
"Everyone has looked down upon my Su clan and thought my Su clan would cower with the presence of the Blood Whisperer," Su Yen began, sitting on his white, pristine horse.
His voice reverberated in the ears of everyone present. Previously, the soldiers were scared of the Blood Whisperer, but with Su Yen leading the charge.
They regained a bit of confidence.
"I know some of you are scared. You have the right to be scared. But with me here. There is nothing like the Blood Whisperer."
The more Su Yen talked, the more the blood of the soldiers boiled. It was like a beast was about to be set loose.
Their eyes were burning with passion.
Yes. They're the Su clan.
How can some bloody organization intimidate them.
Watching the change in the morale of the soldiers, Su Yen smiled and continued.
"The Blood Whisperer intimidates everyone because of their power. But now, we have something to counter that power." His voice rose an octave as he waved his hand.
Whoosh!
At once, thousands of armor appeared on the ground.
Seeing the thousands of armor appearing from thin air, the soldiers were shocked for a moment before they recovered.
From their skeptical looks, Su Yen knew what was going on in the minds of the soldiers.
"This is different from the ordinary Metal Bone Construct. These are Brown Armor Constructs, only exclusive to the Su clan."
Brown Armor Construct?
They were stunned, and everyone's heart skipped a beat.
Would this help them against the Blood Whisperer?
"Now pick one and put it on," he commanded.
At once, the soldiers rushed to pick an armor with slight curiosity and anticipation written on their faces.
On the side, Su Ming, Elder Feng, and Elder Jie looked at Su Yen with a satisfied smile on their faces.
"What! This is different!" A soldier cried in shock.
"Yes! We don't need to use our blood Qi to power it."
"What is this stone on its chest?" Another soldier asked.
"That is a spirit stone. You must be conscious of the spirit stone's energy. Don't attack haphazardly. When the spirit stone is depleted, it will become the Metal Bone Construct. Do you understand?"
"Yes!!" The soldiers shouted with excitement and anticipation.
Their hands were already itching for battle. "With this, you can fight against an Early Qi Refinement warrior."
"Moreover, I heard the Blood Whisperer is immortal and won't die," Su Yen scoffed.
"When you kill them, cut them into pieces, burn them, and scatter their remains everywhere," Su Yen said.
"Is that clear?"
"Aye!!" The soldiers responded with their blood boiling.
'Good.' He smiled and turned.
Quickly, the soldiers moved with renewed vigor, as they couldn't wait to battle the Blood Whisperer.
On the way, the soldiers had split into various smaller groups. Each group consisted of fifty soldiers and was led by an Intermediate Body Building realm warrior.
Right outside the boundary of Longying Village, a group of men with weeping, bloody red masks stopped in front of Su clan soldiers.
Seeing the appearance of the Blood Whisperer, the soldiers halted their march and held their breath, tension hung in the air.
"Finally."
