To get acquainted with everyone. The second point is that the twenty-year periodic resource redistribution is approaching. I hope you will train your subordinates well, and don't complain when you get less resources during the distribution. Everything is decided by strength!"
"Yes!" The commanders responded.
Yang Feilong didn't say much, but watched Qingluan Lord arrange matters.
In the demon and devil realm, there are carnivorous demons and herbivorous demons. The meat they eat are low-level demons, just like humans eat livestock. There are similar livestock in the demon and devil realm. Of course, after reaching the Xiantian realm, the demand for food is not so great, mainly consuming Qi.
The demon lineage mainly devours demon spirit Qi, while the devil lineage devours devil spirit Qi. Of course, if one possesses both demon and devil physiques, they can devour both demon spirit Qi and devil spirit Qi.
And those with demon-devil physiques are not few!
The main reason is the large number of intermarriages between demons and devils.
Offspring with demon-devil physiques often form new races. Of course, calling them new races might not be entirely accurate, as some may inherit the innate divine abilities of both parents!
For example, if a Blood-Patterned Mad Lion mates with a Red-Eyed Devil Pig, the offspring might possess the ferocious divine abilities of the Blood-Patterned Mad Lion lineage and the red-eye divine abilities of the Red-Eyed Devil Pig. Their physical characteristics might also combine those of both parents. Such offspring are obviously very powerful. However, it's also possible they only inherit the divine abilities of one parent, in which case the mutation wouldn't be significant. If one parent's innate divine abilities are not passed down at all, then such an offspring would be considered a failure!
The competition for resources primarily involves obtaining demon spirit stones, devil spirit stones, and other cultivation support, as well as natural treasures and other resources.
"If you encounter powerful and evil demons that you cannot defeat, report it as much as possible!" Qingluan Lord spoke again. "Also, if you unfortunately learn of the whereabouts of devils and blood demons, you must report it promptly and do not act rashly, because devils and blood demons are not something you can contend with!"
"Yes, Lord!" The commanders and deputy commanders respectfully replied.
The entire demon and devil realm is engaged in constant warfare, with battles between nations and even internal conflicts and killings within countries. For instance, some demons enjoy devouring other demons to become stronger!
There are quite a few such demons who prefer shortcuts to becoming stronger instead of relying on cultivation.
According to the terminology of Yang Feilong's former world, these beings are considered to belong to the demonic path!
Although the demon and devil realm encompasses both demonic and devilish paths, those demons who enjoy devouring others to become stronger are universally despised. These beings are referred to by demons as "evil demons"!
Evil demons are often very powerful, but this method of cultivation has significant drawbacks. Because they grow by devouring various kinds of miscellaneous demons, their behavior is generally erratic, or their realm appears artificially high, with combat power not matching their cultivation level!
In fact, a considerable number of evil demons fall into demonic deviation!
Of course, these evil demons are generally very wealthy, and for no other reason than the fact that they frequently engage in killing and plundering, thus amassing considerable wealth.
Besides evil demons, who are universally reviled, there exists another special type of being in the demon and devil realm, considered by the demons of this realm as enemies and their greatest adversaries: devils and blood demons!
Devils and blood demons are different from evil demons. Devils and blood demons are two powerful races in the demon and devil realm. Devils are most fond of harming and devouring the souls of demons, while blood demons are most fond of devouring the flesh and blood of demons. Although this sounds similar to evil demons, it is fundamentally different. Evil demons are simply beings who study devils and blood demons, create some techniques based on them, and then cultivate them. They appear to possess some characteristics of both devil and blood demon races, but in reality, they have learned something that is neither here nor there.
Blood demons devouring the flesh and blood of demons does not cause them any backlash, because blood demons do not cultivate souls; they only cultivate their physical bodies. Although the blood demon lineage does not cultivate souls, it is difficult to destroy a blood demon by killing its soul, because the blood demon's soul is integrated into every cell of its flesh and blood. Unless its physical body is completely destroyed, a blood demon cannot be killed.
Devils, on the other hand, are soul entities and only devour the souls of demons. Their physical bodies may remain intact, but their souls are gone. Devils cultivate only their souls, which grants the devil lineage extremely powerful souls!
Fortunately, the number of blood demons and devils is not large, and they cannot combine. Otherwise, it would be a nightmare for all the myriad races of the demon and devil realm!
Because one devours flesh and blood, and the other devours souls, the combination of these two would be truly terrifying!
Furthermore, because their targets are different, these two powerful races do not oppose each other. After all, you devour souls, and I devour flesh and blood; this division of labor is very clear!
In fact, not only do the two races not oppose each other, but they often cooperate. Where there are devils, there are usually blood demons, and vice versa.
However, in recent years, due to the all-out efforts of the major empires in the demon and devil realm to round up devils and blood demons, many of them have been wiped out. Many devils and blood demons now dare not show themselves easily and engage in rampant slaughter.
"Alright, I won't say any more superfluous words. In the future, for important matters, contact me via the sound transmission stone, or Lord Yang Feilong, the Third Lord!" Qingluan Lord said. "If there's nothing else, you are dismissed! Those who need to return tomorrow, hurry back to your respective territories!"
"Understood!" The commanders responded again.
Yang Feilong and Qingluan walked side by side.
"You were quite imposing during the meeting just now!" Yang Feilong said with a smile.
"Don't be so bold, I'm not as imposing as you. After all, you are the one whose former Third Lord's grave grass has grown three feet high!" Qingluan said with a half-smile.
"That wasn't me who said that," Yang Feilong spread his hands and replied.
"Enough, let's not talk about this. In a few days, we'll be heading to the provincial capital. What are your thoughts? Will you send that woman back to your world, or have her accompany you?" Qingluan asked. "I know you're inclined to have her stay, but I have to remind you, the province has all sorts of demons. If a powerful being takes a liking to your woman, even if I help, it will be useless!"
Hearing Qingluan's words, Yang Feilong couldn't help but frown. Qingluan wasn't speaking to intimidate him.
While most of the major empires in the demon and devil realm maintain normal order, this order is set by the strong, and the strong possess certain privileges. Demanding a partner from the weaker is a common occurrence.
Without sufficient strength, one cannot even protect their own woman, unless they keep her hidden at home all the time, unseen by anyone!
"I'll think about this further," Yang Feilong said. "I'll give you a definite answer before we depart."
"En. If there's nothing else, you may return to your manor." Qingluan said.
Yang Feilong is currently the Third Lord of Wanshan Commandery and has his own manor, which was formerly the manor of the Third Lord, the Blood-Patterned Mad Lion.
"By the way, you mentioned blood demons and devils earlier. I'm very curious, have you ever seen blood demons and devils before?" Yang Feilong asked.
Hearing Yang Feilong's question, Qingluan fell into silence.
"What's wrong? If it's an unpleasant memory, you don't have to say it!" Yang Feilong said, noticing Qingluan's expression seemed off. He had previously learned some rumors related to blood demons and devils, but he hadn't seen them and didn't know the specifics.
"My grandfather and grandmother were killed by a pair of devils and blood demons!" Qingluan's face showed hatred and self-reproach. "Actually, they could have escaped then, but they died tragically at the hands of the devils and blood demons just to save me!"
"My condolences," Yang Feilong sighed upon hearing this.
No wonder she was unwilling to mention it. The hatred was naturally directed towards devils and blood demons, and the self-reproach stemmed from her grandfather and grandmother's deaths being caused by saving her.
