Demon Taming: Start by synthesizing a Lantern Ghost with Divine and Demonic Talents

Chapter 226, Part 235: A Show of Force

The wind and snow raged.

Blood Elephant suddenly woke up from his dream, "Second Uncle, Second Uncle!"

"Blood Elephant, what are you doing?"

The Blood Elephant was in a panic, not even properly dressed, and jumped onto the back of the Moonlight Spirit Elephant, seemingly trying to escape from the place.

"Uncle, something terrible has happened! I have a feeling something terrible is approaching! Run!"

Xiang Jue looked at this most talented descendant of the royal family.

Recently, Blood Elephant has been troubled by his extraordinary spiritual senses. He can't sleep well and is distracted in his cultivation. Now he is disheveled and his eyes are bloodshot. When he thought of the young man riding the elephant with high spirits when they first arrived, he suddenly felt that he didn't recognize Blood Elephant anymore.

Xiangjue pointed to the heavy snow outside: "Right now, there is the biggest blizzard of the winter. The snow demons are having their final sacrificial celebration in the snowstorm. How can you possibly run away in the snowstorm at this time?"

Blood Elephant said anxiously, "Second Uncle, believe me, if we don't leave now, it will be too late."

Blood Elephant has said this many times recently.

Previously, Xiangjue believed them, which is why they left Stone City and came to this primitive little tribe. That's why he dared not leave Blood Elephant and could not go to the Dragon Horn tribe to scout out the enemy's situation. But today, Blood Elephant's reaction was indeed somewhat outrageous and unbecoming of royalty.

"Then you should leave. Take the spirit elephant and leave as soon as possible!"

Blood Elephant was delighted. "Great... Wait, Uncle, aren't you leaving?"

"Second Uncle, I have a mission to complete, how can I just leave? Besides, we've only just begun to establish ourselves in this northern wilderness, I'm afraid I can't leave now."

Blood Elephant fell silent, a struggle appearing on his face. "Second Uncle, I... I'll stay!"

Xiang Jue was somewhat surprised, but felt a warmth in his heart and stopped hesitating. "No, you have to go. If there is real danger, we can't leave everyone together. You take a team and leave."

Blood Elephant was conflicted; he still wanted to persuade his second uncle to leave together, "Second Uncle..."

"No need to say anything more. I'd like to see what kind of enemy could frighten the pride of our Spirit Elephant Tribe so terribly!"

The blood test results were speechless.

Despite the raging snowstorm, the Dragon Horn Tribe was bustling with activity.

This time is different from the last. The eighteen fifth-tier totem warriors will form eighteen totem warrior teams, ten of which will go on the expedition, and the remaining eight teams will be enough to guard the tribe.

This snowy season, many people have gained weight, enjoying warm beds, endless meat, and hot spring baths. They no longer worry about snow demons attacking, monsters entering the tribe on snowy nights to kidnap children, or freezing to death in the cold.

This was a change brought about by the Wind Shaman, and they experienced it firsthand. But the people of the Dragon Horn Tribe, accustomed to hardship, felt uneasy while enjoying the immense benefits. They feared that one day they would wake up back in that cramped, dark cave, starving and poorly clothed, the warriors unable to obtain high-level beast meat, forced to watch their strength decline. The children had to live in the Child's Cave, receiving only one meal a day, enduring extreme hunger and thirst…

Some people wake up in a cold sweat after having this dream, and only after feeling the soft, warm bed, turning on the psionic lamp, and looking at the spacious room can their hearts slowly calm down.

Now, the Wind Witch has once again summoned her troops, and volunteers are flocking to her aid. Even the wounded and retired old totem warriors have drawn their long-hidden weapons and answered the Wind Witch's call.

They must repay the Wind Witch. How? Only by fighting for the Wind Witch!

With a thought, Li Chunfeng realized that of the 18,000 totem warriors, a small portion of them were totem warriors from the Black Flame Tribe who had voluntarily surrendered.

"Kai." Li Chunfeng waved.

"witch?"

Li Chunfeng was already quite tall, but he still looked like a child in front of Kai Xuan, who had to bend over and lean in to listen.

"Kai, send all those under the age of eighteen back, all those over sixty back, and all women back. Send all totem warriors below the third rank back! We don't need that many people."

"Yes."

Kai immediately announced the order loudly, causing an uproar among the troops below.

But since it was the shaman's order, they had to obey. Hao, Shi, Lin, and several other leaders and captains began to drive people away until the force was reduced to only eight thousand men.

It's still not a small amount.

Li Chunfeng looked up at the sky; the wind and snow were getting heavier. "Then let's set off."

Clouds rose from beneath our feet, transforming into a white carpet that enveloped everyone, instantly lifting them into the sky.

"hold head high--"

Taiyi transformed into a true dragon, circling in and out of the somersault cloud with great enthusiasm.

When the people of the tribe saw Taiyi, they all knelt down and prayed devoutly.

The invisible forces of destiny are becoming increasingly intertwined with Taiyi.

When Somersault Cloud arrived at the Dragon Lantern Base, the scale of the formation was even larger. The Black Flame Tribe was no longer recognizable; rows of portable cave villas stood neatly within the base, resembling square tofu blocks, a pleasing sight to the eye.

All the buildings are closely surrounding the central area shrouded in mist.

When Li Chunfeng landed, a full 30,000 combat-ready troops were already lined up in the huge square waiting for him.

Li Chunfeng's attitude towards these people differed. They were all from the Earthly Realm, receiving the same education and training; in fact, Li Chunfeng was even inferior to them in military command theory. If they were truly on the battlefield, the combined might of their 30,000-strong army would be so formidable that even a Dao Lord's primordial spirit wouldn't dare to challenge them.

Li Chunfeng glanced at the dozen or so captains, his mind racing.

Among them were three senior students from Kunlun Academy, including Taishi Bolun, who had just won third place in the Kunlun Grand Competition.

He was also secretly observing this very famous junior, wanting to see what kind of supernatural abilities he had that allowed him to build such a foundation in another world in such a short time, and even become their boss.

I have seen the person now, but he looks quite ordinary.

Many people share this idea. However, the next moment, they are all wrong, terribly wrong.

Li Chunfeng casually walked up to the high platform, looked at the huge crowd below, and didn't say a word.

I just watched them quietly, for one minute, two minutes, three minutes...

There was some commotion in the audience.

After all, they are not a regular army unit, and the discipline they have now is already thanks to the staff team he formed in advance.

Fortunately, the mission takers selected by the Earthly Realm were all outstanding individuals who quickly calmed down.

"A new broom sweeps clean, are you going to resort to those old tricks again?" Tai Shibolun frowned inwardly. "Let's see if your methods can convince people!"

"Want to see what I'm capable of, whether I'm strong enough to command you?"

Li Chunfeng smiled. He had naturally noticed the signs; there were still a few troublemakers glaring and baring their teeth.

Li Chunfeng probably didn't have anything nice on his mind; he could easily guess what he was thinking. For example, something like, "What are you pretending for?"

These people are not regular soldiers; they were selected by the Earthly Realm to carry out missions and should have been scattered in all directions. Now that they are gathered in the base, their nature is similar to that of mercenaries in the Exploration Mercenary Guild, so they naturally don't have the same level of strict command and discipline as military personnel.

They revered not Li Chunfeng, but the laws of the Celestial Court!
Li Chunfeng didn't need everyone to obey, as long as they didn't disobey orders.

"Buzz!"

Without warning, a powerful soul pressure swept down.

At that moment, even the sky changed color.

The more than 30,000 elite soldiers below the stage screamed in agony, collapsing to their knees in despair. The once orderly ranks were now in complete chaos. Their souls were suppressed, and their senses seemed to be filled with countless black arrows hovering overhead. Anyone who dared to resist would be pierced by a thousand arrows.

Even the few captains at the Yin God Realm whose strength was clearly superior to everyone else were no exception.

Tai Shibo Lun and the other Yin God Realm cultivators were also extremely shocked. They couldn't help but exchange glances, realizing that even they were powerless to resist this soul pressure.

"Isn't this junior just a newcomer to the Yin Spirit Realm?"

"Why... is the pressure on my soul so strong?!"

Li Chunfeng knew when to stop.

The 'Soul Suppression' shook 30,000 troops; it was just a small test.

Although the surprise attack was very underhanded, it gave them time to prepare, and the result was the same. This is the price of daring to glare at your superiors.

"Hmph!" Li Chunfeng snorted coldly, finally speaking, "You are not that important! If I were the enemy, you would have been wiped out just now!"

He heartlessly berated the group of elites in the audience who were slumped over.

The 30,000 people in the audience were shocked and deeply ashamed.

Li Chunfeng was telling the truth. ...But what exactly were those methods?!

We were all from the same group of explorers, so is that why this person was able to become a commander?

Li Chunfeng frowned and roared, "The General Staff will begin taking counts! If anyone cannot stand up and line up within ten breaths, they are all eliminated! Send them all back to the Earthly Realm; we don't need you here!"

The staff members had just been suppressed by the 'soul pressure,' but those who were selected for the staff were naturally more capable than the others. They cursed inwardly, but had no choice but to endure their headaches, get up, and quickly order the troops to line up.

This was a truly ruthless display of power, one man commanding an army of 30,000.

Is this something that someone at the Yin Spirit Realm can do?
Taishi Bolun also quickly got up, but the shock in his heart did not diminish at all. He had actually simulated many scenarios in his mind and thought of many solutions, but he never expected that Li Chunfeng would give him such a strong show of force in front of more than 30,000 experts.

Strength is the bottom line.

One person can overpower three armies—is there a more persuasive argument than that?!

Ten breaths later, no one dared to lie on the ground.

Li Chunfeng nodded in satisfaction, forcing a fake smile, "Hello everyone."

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Major Li Chunfeng, and I am the commander of the Dragon Lantern Base. The Dragon Lantern Base is newly established, and I thank everyone for contributing to its construction during this period. Many of you here are meeting me for the first time, and I am not very familiar with you all, so there is no need for much talk. Like you all, I have come to this world to explore with the same goal. Behind us lies our home in the Earthly Realm. We are the pioneers of glory, and everything we are doing now, even if it is not great, is at least worthy of our contributions."

"Conquering the Spirit Realm cannot be accomplished overnight. Military merits, battle merits, and Dao merits are all there; you must earn them through your own means."

"But this operation is extremely important, and I'm not afraid to scare you, our opponents this time are a sixth-tier tribal spirit king, or even stronger..."

These words caused a stir in the room.

Fortunately, the earlier incident served as a deterrent, and no one dared to act rashly.

Li Chunfeng paused deliberately, observing their reaction, before finally saying, "You are lucky, because I, the major, will be in charge of all the sixth-tier units. Believe me, the reason I'm bringing you along on this mission is not because of your strength, but because I, the commander, am willing to give you a chance to earn merit... Consider it a reward for your time building the base."

"Now, all captains, step forward!"

As soon as he finished speaking, more than thirty people stepped forward in unison.

Thirteen of them were captains at the Yin God Realm, and the rest were lieutenants.

"You have fifteen minutes to divide your teams into thirty-six groups and form the Big Dipper Heavenly Gang Formation. The rest of you, stay at the base!"

"Yes!"

The team quickly assembled, and Li Chunfeng waved his hand, sending his somersault cloud sweeping down and lifting more than 30,000 people into the sky.
