Chapter 8 of the Wind and Moon Continent: The Blood Bead of Myriad Spirits

News of Xia He's personal arrival in Gucheng quickly reached the city. Wen Yeda, who had barely settled in after arriving, immediately felt a severe headache coming on. He knew Xia He's influence over his men, especially the brothers Xia Feng and Xia Yun. How long could they hold out against their father?

"Damn it!" Wen Yeda glared at his master, Bloodhand Scorpion, a cold glint in his eyes. "If I had known it would turn out like this, I should have eliminated Xia He back then. That way, we wouldn't be in this predicament today."

"It's too late to talk about that now," Bloodhand Scorpion said coldly. "You should think more about how to deal with the current situation!"

"How much strength can Xia Feng and Xia Yun's troops exert against their former commander?" Shangguan Qing'er asked hesitantly, looking at Wen Yeda with some unease.

“I don’t know either,” Wen Yeda said, distressed. “Right now, we don’t have anyone to replace them. Among the generals who can truly lead troops into battle, only those two can rival Qingji and his men.”

“How’s the recruitment going?” Bloodscythe asked, changing the subject.

“Very difficult!”

Wen Yeda sighed. “Gucheng is too small. The total population is only about 120,000. Recruiting is too difficult for us.”

“So how many soldiers have you recruited so far?” Bloodscythe pressed.

“Nearly 8,000,” Wen Yeda replied after a moment’s thought.

“Too few!” Bloodscythe said unhappily. “That means we only have a little over 20,000 troops. How can

we contend with Ye Tianlong’s army of over 100,000?” “Besides, that old fox from the Northern Legion is lurking in the shadows, waiting for an opportunity to strike,” Shangguan Qing’er reminded him.

“That guy, all he knows is taking advantage of people’s misfortunes,” Wen Yeda said bitterly. “Now that I’m down on my luck, he’s changed his tune. Back then, he was just…”

“Don’t talk about back then,” Bloodhand Scorpion waved his hand, interrupting Wen Yeda.

He looked into Wen Yeda’s eyes and said slowly, “It seems my senior brother has a good eye. His disciple, Yuna, is doing much better than you.”

“Master…” Wen Yeda suddenly became excited.

“If you don’t want to lose to your brother, you need to show your strength and stop complaining.” Bloodhand Scorpion changed his tone and began to encourage Wen Yeda. “Although your strength is lacking now, as long as you are willing to work hard, there is still a way to become stronger.”

“Then what should I do?” Wen Yeda’s eyes suddenly became fervent. Even Shangguan Qing’er, who was standing to the side, perked up her ears. What exactly was Bloodhand Scorpion up to?

Bloodhand Scorpion looked around, and Wen Yeda understood and waved his hand, dismissing the guards around him.

"Remember the Myriad Spirit Blood Pearl I told you about?"

Bloodhand Scorpion lowered his voice, appearing extremely cautious. Wen Yeda nodded, looking at his master with some confusion.

"This doesn't seem to have anything to do with the present. Master, didn't you say you'd talk about it after I ascended the throne of Fast?"

"It was originally meant to be refined when conditions were optimal, but given the current situation, we have no choice but to rely on it."

A terrifying glint flashed in Bloodhand Scorpion's eyes, causing Wen Yeda and Shangguan Qing'er, who were watching him intently, to involuntarily shiver.

"How can we rely on it? Isn't the Myriad Spirit Blood Pearl meant to help you, Master, reach the Supreme Realm?" Wen Yeda couldn't help but press further.

He had never heard Bloodhand Scorpion mention the Myriad Spirit Blood Pearl before, so he knew absolutely nothing about it.

"The Myriad Spirits Blood Pearl is the supreme treasure of the Blood Light Path. Its power is beyond your imagination. It appeared at the end of the War of the Gods, created to fight against the gods. It's more than enough to deal with Xia He and his group."

"Master, since the Myriad Spirits Blood Pearl is so powerful, why didn't you say so earlier?" Wen Yeda said somewhat dissatisfied.

"Because it requires the lives and blood of 12,500 people to be refined." Blood Hand Scorpion said each word slowly and deliberately, making Wen Yeda and Shangguan Qing'er's hearts tremble.

"12,500 people?" Wen Yeda and Shangguan Qing'er couldn't help but look at each other in disbelief. The implications behind this number were chilling to anyone.

"That's right. Ten thousand adults are used as the foundation for refining the Myriad Spirits Blood Pearl. The actual materials used for refining are the blood of five hundred boys and girls and two thousand virgins."

Blood Hand Scorpion said casually, as if he were talking about using a few chickens and ducks. A wicked glint flashed in his eyes, and though he tried to suppress it, his tone betrayed an undisguised excitement.

"Your Highness, what terrible consequences will such an action bring at this time?"

Suppressing her fear, Shangguan Qing'er couldn't help but remind Wen Yeda. She couldn't believe Bloodhand Scorpion would propose such a mad suggestion. Now, Wen Yeda only had Gucheng left, a small territory with few soldiers and generals. If he were to commit such an outrageous act, would there be any place for them in the world?

"This…" Wen Yeda sat blankly in his chair, speechless for a long time.

Firstly, what Bloodhand Scorpion wanted to do was truly terrifying. If even a whisper of it leaked out, the condemnation from the world would be unimaginable, and his reputation would be ruined.

Secondly, in a small place like Gucheng, arresting so many men, women, and children at once would inevitably cause resistance and riots among the people. Their conscription campaign had already sown seeds of hatred in the hearts of the people of Gucheng. If another large-scale arrest were carried out, the hatred would definitely erupt. He even doubted that his army was capable of doing this.

"How many soldiers would be willing to do such a thing? Perhaps, upon hearing such an order, they would choose to leave us."

Facing Wen Yeda's hesitation and unease, Blood Hand Scorpion smiled sinisterly and said, "You won't lie to them? Divide the whole thing into several stages, and use several different names to gather the materials."

"Your Highness, this matter..."

Shangguan Qing'er was afraid that Wen Yeda would be swayed by Blood Hand Scorpion and make such a shocking and terrible decision, so she wanted to remind him again. Unexpectedly, at this moment, Blood Hand Scorpion rolled his eyes and gave her a vicious look. That fierce and vicious look shocked her. Her heart pounded wildly, and her palms involuntarily broke out in a cold sweat. Naturally, she could no longer utter the words she wanted to say.

"Think carefully. This is our last chance. If you can't stop Ye Tianlong's attack this time, everything you have will be over, and there will be no future for you."

Bloodhand Scorpion further emphasized the danger to Wen Yeda. Seeing that Wen Yeda seemed to be moved, he smiled secretly, stood up, and turned to leave.

"Think it over carefully. Are you willing to wait for death, or take a risk?"

After leaving these words, Bloodhand Scorpion's figure disappeared from Wen Yeda and Shangguan Qing'er's sight.

As Bloodhand Scorpion left, the inexplicable pressure that had been hanging over Shangguan Qing'er vanished instantly. She secretly breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Wen Yeda with worry.

"Your Highness, I..."

Wen Yeda waved his hand slightly and said to Shangguan Qing'er, "I know what you're going to say. Let me have some peace and quiet now!"

Shangguan Qing'er stood up helplessly, bowed to Wen Yeda, turned, opened the door, and went out. Standing in the courtyard, looking up at the slightly gloomy sky, Shangguan Qing'er's heart was like the sky.

"Perhaps falling for this man was a mistake?"

The thought quickly rose in her mind, but she suppressed it, not daring to let her thoughts wander in that direction.

"We must find a way to get out of this predicament, we must!"

※※※

All afternoon, Shangguan Qing'er didn't see Wen Yeda, and didn't know where he had gone. When she saw him again, it was already late at night.

"So late, what happened? Has Xiahe's army arrived?" Looking at Wen Yeda entering the room, noticing the abnormal expression on his face, Shangguan Qing'er couldn't help but ask softly with some concern.

"It's nothing, just a small matter." Wen Yeda breathed a sigh of relief, and the maidservants began to bring out the washing utensils.

"Your Highness, you didn't agree to that matter, did you?" Shangguan Qing'er watched Wen Yeda wash his face and hands with tender affection, asking softly with some concern.

Wen Yeda paused in wiping his face, then slowly lowered his hand, saying calmly, "No, I agreed."

Shangguan Qing'er's heart tightened instantly, and she quickly said, "Your Highness, you should know that if we anger the people of Gucheng at this time, it might very well..."

"Don't worry, we won't be that foolish." Wen Yeda interrupted Shangguan Qing'er, tossing the towel into the basin, watching the water splash on the ground, and then slowly said.

"Tomorrow, I will officially declare myself Emperor of Fast in Gucheng, bestow titles upon my soldiers, and then conscript 20,000 laborers to build Gucheng's defense system. At the same time, I will recruit 2,000 beautiful women and 500 young boys and girls into the palace."

"Is this acceptable?" Shangguan Qing'er still strongly objected. "The people of Gucheng are already very dissatisfied with our forced conscription. If we hold this kind of enthronement ceremony now..."

"What did you say?" Wen Yeda's face darkened, and he turned to walk into the bedroom. "As the new Emperor of Fast, if I don't do this, will I be laughed at?"

"But Your Highness, you must consider the specific circumstances and our current situation!" Shangguan Qing'er followed him into the bedroom, continuing to persuade him relentlessly.

"Shut your mouth." Wen Yeda was extremely impatient. "Men's affairs are none of your business, women. Just do your own job."

"But Your Highness, I'm worried about you..." Shangguan Qing'er said with a worried expression as she made the bed for Wen Yeda.

"Don't worry about anything anymore!" Wen Yeda rolled his eyes. "I know what to do, you don't need to say anything more."

"Alright, alright! This tea was just brewed, I'll fan it to cool it down." Shangguan Qing'er dared not say anything more and obediently served a cup of tea.

Wen Yeda drank the tea in one gulp, then threw aside the teacup, reached out and picked up Shangguan Qing'er, placing her on the bed.

"Your Highness, you...you...you're hurting me..."

Shangguan Qing'er was somewhat confused by Wen Yeda's hasty actions. When Wen Yeda began to tear at her clothes, his savagery and madness were completely different from his usual self, which made her both shocked and frightened.

Wen Yeda grabbed her breasts with both hands, shaking them violently, biting and pulling with his mouth. He didn't know why he had such an impulse, he just wanted to vent his unease.

To be honest, he agreed to Bloodhand Scorpion's plan to refine the Myriad Spirit Blood Pearl, but he had no idea what fate awaited him.

The woman's cries and groans of pain beneath him temporarily distracted Wen Yeda. He stopped thinking about tomorrow and began to revel in the woman's alluring body.

※※※

The next day, the entire Gucheng was thrown into chaos by Wen Yeda's orders. Everywhere, people rose up in resistance against the army's arrests, but the soldiers, having received rewards, obeyed orders without hesitation.

The inexperienced and disorganized populace was no match for the army. Twenty thousand laborers were quickly assembled, and five hundred boys and girls were brought before Bloodhand Scorpion. However, finding two thousand virgins proved difficult.

Because the people didn't want their daughters taken, they hastily married them off before the army arrived. Some families and young girls, unable to wait, even chose to forfeit their precious virginity. Within a single day, Gucheng had many more women who had just lost their virginity.

When Wen Yeda learned of this, he was furious. In the eyes of the people of Gucheng, his harem was so terrifying, but he had no other choice.

Among the virgins collected, many were vulgar and vile, utterly unsatisfactory to Bloodhand Scorpion. He knew that using these women to refine the Myriad Spirit Blood Pearl might cost him his own life.

Reluctantly, Bloodhand Scorpion had to find women who, while not virgins, possessed superior qualities. Although this was a great pity, creating a defect in the Myriad Spirit Blood Pearl itself, at least the pearl could still be successfully refined.

This sparked chaos once again in Gucheng, plunging the entire region into fear and unease. The soldiers who forcibly conscripted the women also abused their power, bringing even greater suffering to the local people. Rebellions erupted everywhere, and Wen Yeda's army faced resistance far exceeding their expectations. Meanwhile, at

the front lines, Qingji and Zuodao Jin, upon receiving this intelligence and with the support of some local residents, launched a fierce offensive against Wen Yeda's army. Xia Feng and Xia Yun, deeply dissatisfied with Wen Yeda's actions, lost their fighting spirit and suffered repeated defeats under the Heavenly Dragon Legion's onslaught.

After a day of fierce fighting, they retreated fifty miles, and behind them, the low city walls and gate towers of Gucheng could be seen.
