Heroes' Prison-Chapter 1089 - 1033: Quarrel

Huang Yi and his companions took to the skies again, swiftly flying forward along the conspicuous path of footprints.

This time, they were even more cautious. With Young Master Luo will Lead You, a blood clan member, flying at the forefront to scout the way, his blood clan identity ensured his survival even if discovered by the demon clan.

Huang Yi, Overlord, Qing Ming, He Tu, and Youth with Middle School Syndrome stayed back more than ten kilometers away, constantly keeping an eye on messages from Young Master Luo. At the slightest hint of an incident, they would stop advancing immediately.

Along the way, Huang Yi and the others noticed paths of footprints coming from other directions, eventually converging and becoming one.

After numerous intersections, the path of footprints had transformed into a wide road, covered with countless footprints, stretching endlessly into the depths of the swamp.

Observing the crooked footprints on the road, Huang Yi could roughly infer what had previously transpired.

The people who passed through here were likely driven from all directions of the Blood Moon Continent, which explained the branches occasionally spotted in the swamp.

These branches ultimately converged into a road, indicating deliberate herding from various directions to a common destination.

This scene increasingly suggested that the demon clan had a grand plan, necessitating a large workforce.

...

Meanwhile, over a thousand kilometers away, at the end of the footprints path, the demon clan, blood clan, and insect race herded a vast throng of slaves to an expansive meadow.

Known as the Blood Moon Plains, the vast meadow offered an unobstructed view, utterly devoid of trees.

Looking up, the starry sky unfolded completely, the stars dazzling. Most notably, the Red Star hung slantwise above everyone’s heads, its ringed mountains vividly visible, seemingly within reach.

"The Red Star shines abundantly here, unobstructed by trees or mountains, making it ideal for our bee insects to gather its light on a grand scale and brew the Divine Nectar. We’ll construct the beehive here!" Suddenly, a bee insect at the head of the group halted mid-air, issuing a hoarse yet firm decree, brooking no argument.

It lifted its gaze, the enormous compound eyes reflecting the blood-colored light of the Red Star, exuding an overwhelming pressure that spread in all directions.

The countless slaves below, feeling this oppressive force, trembled in fear and ceased their steps.

This bee insect, named Zhuo Yehua, led all the bees arriving in The Second World, the sole male bee, already boasting a Two Steps Heaven level of 292!

All other bees were low-status workers, required to obey its commands.

Not far from Zhuo Yehua flew a demon, clad in a black monk’s robe with a bald head adorned with blood-red patterns.

Holding a long whip, remnants of flesh clung to it, a testament to the slaves slain along the journey. Several flies buzzed around, vying for the remaining scraps.

His name was Fanyu, a top-level Pain Acolyte in the Agony Demon Sect, also possessing Two Steps Heaven strength of 292, currently the leader of all demons on the Blood Moon Continent.

Terror exuded from Fanyu as well, forming a subtle opposition to Zhuo Yehua’s presence.

"Very well!" Fanyu replied casually, cracking his whip in the air, then turned to the bee insect, "Zhuo Yehua, you and your bee insect subordinates are most familiar with constructing the beehive. Stay here and oversee the construction. I’ll take my men back to the camp to rest. Once the beehive is completed, notify me back at the camp. Remember, do not disturb me while I’m reciting the Sutra of Pain!"

"No, I have already given you the plans for constructing the beehive. You and your people stay to supervise this task. I’m returning to the camp." Zhuo Yehua shook his head decisively, refusing to budge. "My subordinates and I crossed half the universe from the insect race’s star system to reach here. Nearly half of the bees perished on this journey. I must return to camp to handle their remains. Notify us when the beehive is completed."

"Hmm?" Fanyu’s expression instantly darkened, "Do you think you can casually refuse my orders? The Agony Queen had you come here merely as tools for brewing Divine Nectar. We demons are Her Majesty’s confidants. Don’t misinterpret your status!"

"Our bee insects have always obeyed orders from our insect race. Regardless, I must return to the camp!" Zhuo Yehua assertively stated.

After a moment, he recalled something and pointed to a nearby blood clan member, suggesting a new proposal, "How about this! Let Xue Tianyu stay here to oversee the construction task, and the two of us will return to the camp."

He pointed towards a blood clan member wafting with a Top-Level Heavenly Domain aura, though less potent than Zhuo Yehua and Fanyu, having not yet reached the Ascension Stage.

The blood clan member flew silently, wiping a whip mark on his arm while flying.

"Very well!" Fanyu nodded and turned to the blood clan member, uncompromisingly commanding, "Hey! Xue Tianyu, stay here with your blood clan subordinates and supervise the slaves building the beehive. If any chaos ensues, your punishment won’t be a mere whip mark!"

With that, Fanyu glared at Xue Tianyu, sharply cracking his whip with a "snap."

Xue Tianyu trembled in fear, quickly nodding, "Yes, Lord Fanyu, I will ensure the beehive is swiftly constructed!"

Fanyu then sneered coldly, turning to soar into the distance.

Zhuo Yehua also glanced at Xue Tianyu and took flight in Fanyu’s direction.

Once both leaders had flown afar, Xue Tianyu looked down at the slaves with a fierce expression, yelling, "Get on with building the beehive, or I’ll drain your blood if anyone dares to slack off!"

His furious voice seemed poised to unleash the earlier grievance suffered from Fanyu upon the slaves below.

Instantly, under the supervision of lower-ranked blood clan, insect race, and demon clan members scattered everywhere, the multitude of slaves resumed work.

Meanwhile, on the footprints path behind them, Huang Yi and companions hurriedly traversed mountains, closing in relentlessly.
