Go with the Flow

The furious roar shook the nine heavens, and the bellowing from the Star Lord Manor grew increasingly intense.

"Damnable Demon Race, to commit such atrocious acts! If I do not eradicate these butchers, I will not rest even in death!"

"This enmity is absolutely irreconcilable!"

Long Tian's eyes were bloodshot. He clenched his fists and roared incessantly, his cultivation erupting from his body, yet it still seemed insufficient to vent the grief and indignation filling his heart.

At this moment, his emotional defenses completely collapsed!

He had originally thought that by enduring silently within the human camp, even if there were some misunderstandings, he might still have a chance to return to the Demon Race in the future and achieve great things.

He never expected that a slight misunderstanding would spiral utterly out of control, resulting in the complete annihilation of the Black Flood Dragon clan.

This truly chilled him to the bone!

He had only killed a few Bull Demons out of absolute necessity. When the elites of various clans came to throw their lives away without understanding the truth, he had only struck back in self-defense.

Why wouldn't the Demon Race give him a chance to explain, and even take their anger out on his entire clan!

Since his cultivation had reached a successful level, he had dedicated tens of thousands of years to the Demon Race, always taking the revival of the Demon Race as his own responsibility. Yet, in the end, he was nothing but a pawn, and the entire Black Flood Dragon clan was merely a sacrificial lamb to appease the anger of the various clans!

His lifelong loyalty had ultimately been given to the wrong people!

The more Long Tian thought about it, the angrier he became, his breathing growing rapid and heavy.

He spoke in a deep voice, his eyes brimming with killing intent!

"From this day forward, even if my soul is entirely destroyed, I will obliterate the entire Demon Race!"

His cold, grim voice was incredibly resolute, perfectly resembling the lines a Star Lord ought to say.

At this very moment.

Long Tian had completely abandoned his final illusions, treating himself as the true Lord of Cloud Star, drawing a clear line between his body, mind, and the Demon Race!

However, his display of anger was so extreme that it inevitably made people feel something was amiss.

The Star God Guards quietly exchanged glances and promptly bowed to give him a hint.

"Uh..."

"Lord Star Lord, please calm your anger. The Demon Race is indeed cruel and tyrannical, but as you govern the entirety of Cloud Star, we hope you will prioritize the big picture in all matters and not care too much about irrelevant things."

"These words make sense. We hope Your Lordship will be prudent; the Demon Race cannot be underestimated."

As their voices faded.

Long Tian's expression changed slightly, realizing he had lost his composure.

Fortunately, his intellect was extraordinary. After pondering for just a few breaths, he angrily scolded them to change the subject, taking the opportunity to warn the Star God Guards!

"Bastards!"

"The Demon Race is so tyrannical and will soon endanger the entire galaxy. How is this an irrelevant matter? Utter bullshit!"

"Today those beasts can annihilate the Black Flood Dragon clan, and tomorrow they can obliterate various planets. As Star God Guards, do you not even understand the principle that without the lips, the teeth will freeze?!"

Long Tian was consumed by rage, his mouth spouting continuous profanities.

Hearing this, the Star God Guards bowed, feigning a guilty appearance.

"Your Lordship is wise; it is we who were foolish."

Seeing this, Long Tian waved his large hand and issued an order!

"You need say no more; I have made my decision!"

"From today onward, we must mobilize all forces to sanction the Demon Race. Even if the Demon Race has extraordinary foundations, our Cloud Star does not necessarily fear them!"

"As long as we find the numerous strongholds of the Demon Race and conquer them one by one from weakest to strongest, the Demon Race will inevitably suffer a heavy blow. When their strength wanes and ours waxes, we will have the capital to fight them head-on!"

As he spoke, Long Tian impatiently used his cultivation to draw a star map.

Not long after, several star maps glowed in the air of the hall. The large and small strongholds of the Demon Race were all marked on them; even the hideouts concealed on unknown small planets were displayed at a glance.

These places, which he had once been familiar with and yearned for, now only brought a cold look to Long Tian's eyes.

Without waiting for the Star God Guards to ask, he explained and ordered in a deep voice.

"Ahem, as you can see, I have investigated the Demon Race for many years and have long known of many hidden locations. These strongholds are occupied by many demons. Although they are not the main headquarters of the Demon Realm, the demons within them are also formidably strong."

"Therefore, within three days, you must gather the experts of Cloud Star before we set out to battle. As long as we destroy the Demon Race strongholds one by one, we will definitely cripple the Demon Race!"

"This matter is extremely urgent. Act quickly!"

Seeing Long Tian's urgent and furious demeanor, the Star God Guards hurriedly bowed.

"Understood, Lord Star Lord!"

"We will definitely do our best to recruit the experts of Cloud Star to help Your Lordship destroy the Demon Race strongholds!"

Their attitude was as respectful as ever, which was quite reassuring. However, the Demon Race was simply too strong, and Long Tian still felt a bit uneasy.

After pondering for a few breaths, he gave them another strict warning.

"Everyone, this battle is extremely dangerous. We must gather true experts. As Star God Guards, you must have heard of the reclusive seniors on Cloud Star. If we can appeal to their sense of righteousness and invite these experts to come out of seclusion, we might have a slight chance of winning."

"This matter concerns the safety of the entire galaxy. You absolutely must not slack off in the slightest!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Star God Guards responded solemnly.

"Please rest assured, Your Lordship. We will definitely invite true experts to assist. Within three days, we will surely return to the Star Lord Manor. Please await our good news!"

After clasping their fists, the Star God Guards tore through the void and departed.

Long Tian was left standing alone in the hall, waves of worry appearing in his eyes.

After a long silence, he let out a long sigh and gazed out the door at the endless firmament.

"Alas..."

"This battle will likely be a fight to the bitter end. My death is not a pity; my only regret is that I cannot severely injure the Demon Venerable! I also don't know where that great monk went. If he could help, we might have a chance of winning."

"I just hope that Cloud Star still has a few decent experts."

He pondered for several breaths.

Long Tian's expression became resolute as he issued several orders in succession.

Before long, the conscription order for the demon-slaying army spread throughout Luohai City. Countless cultivators felt their blood boil with passion, and Star Lord Long Tian's prestige reached an unprecedented height!

At the same time.

The Star God Guards quietly returned to Shadow Island, causing a minor sensation. Along the way, many people greeted them warmly, and many older women sighed with emotion at the long-awaited reunion, even thinking that the pork shop was going to reopen.

Until they entered the office building.

Led by Pork Rong, they went straight to the office and reported everything truthfully.

After listening to the account.

Su Yunyun sat quietly in her office chair, nodding slightly as she spoke.

"For Long Tian to take the initiative to lead the troops into battle saves us the effort of brainwashing him, which is a good thing. Since the war is finally about to begin and he needs manpower, let's just push the boat along with the current."

Pork Rong respectfully clasped his fists, his eyes revealing admiration.

"Everything is proceeding according to plan. Young Miss's calculations are brilliant!"

Hearing this, Su Yunyun nodded slightly and issued several orders to the people outside the door.

Not long after.

The head of the waste disposal station, Master Lu, the idle elderly brothers Lu Qingshan and Wu Yonghong, along with the gatekeeping security team member Jiang Zhi and dozens of others, all stood in the spacious office and bowed.

"Fifth Miss, what orders do you have for us?"

Most of them were veterans of Shadow Island. Although their status could not compare to that of the personal disciples, they could barely be considered middle-management figures. Naturally, they were quite close to Su Yunyun, but gathering all together today inevitably made them feel a bit surprised.

It was hard to imagine what could require everyone to come together.

Looking at the curious gazes of the crowd, Su Yunyun gave her instructions.

"It's nothing major. We just need to put on a play, and conveniently collect some Demon Race corpses to build real estate. I will have to trouble everyone..."

After a brief explanation, the crowd suddenly understood and clasped their fists.

"So that's how it is."

"We will naturally offer our services!"

As Su Yunyun nodded in agreement, the pork shop assistant immediately led the way. Everyone confidently cupped their fists in farewell and stepped out of the Shadow Island.

Along the way, laughter echoed, and their eyes were filled with confidence.

"Everyone, make sure to put some effort into this and play along well with that kid Long Tian to put on a good show!"

"Don't worry, we would never slack off on a task assigned by the Fifth Miss!"

"Hmm, it has been a long time since we two old brothers stretched our limbs. How about we have a competition this time to see who kills the most demons? What do you all think?"

"That is exactly what I had in mind! I have recently comprehended a divine ability of the Dao of Excrement, and it will definitely open your eyes!"

"Since Master Lu is so confident, how about we bet a movie ticket?"

"One ticket? Let's bet at least ten, and they have to be for the midnight showings!"

"Hahaha..."

Cheerful laughter filled the squad. By the time everyone stepped out of the spatial ripples, they had arrived outside the Star Lord's Mansion, surrounded by a massive sea of people brimming with hot-blooded battle intent!

Inside the Star Lord's Mansion, Long Tian was anxiously pacing back and forth.

Suddenly.

The main doors opened, and the Star God Guards strode in.

Having finally awaited their return, Long Tian hurriedly stepped forward and asked aloud!

"How did it go?"

"Did you manage to recruit any experts?!"

The Star God Guards smiled, bowed, and stepped aside to make way.

"My Lord, please see for yourself!"

"We have invited quite a few experts, and they are currently waiting quietly in the courtyard!"

Hearing this, a gleam of anticipation flashed in Long Tian's eyes.

Looking past the guards toward the door, he saw a group of scruffy, unkempt old men, followed by men and women dressed in ordinary clothing, looking completely unremarkable.

Instantly, his brows furrowed slightly.

"These are the experts you invited?"
