"Go ahead and send him the things we promised earlier," Leonres instructed his subordinate after taking a deep breath while looking at the message on the virtual screen in front of him.
"Really, you want to settle the final payment?"
His subordinate paused, since the other party was from the enemy Human Clan.
And in this kind of situation, even if they didn't settle the final payment, it wasn't likely that the other party would come looking for them.
"Did I not make myself clear just now?"
Leonres slightly furrowed his brow, giving his subordinate a look but with no intention to explain further.
"Quickly, and don't let me find out you're skimming anything!"
"Understood!"
The subordinate from the Fire Element Spirit Clan got startled and hastily agreed before running off.
"Foolish."
Leonres watched the man's retreating figure and coldly spat out a word.
Not settling the final payment?
If that small amount of the final payment doesn't lead to successfully taking out Jiang Yuan this time, they would still need the other party's information.
Even if Jiang Yuan were taken down on the first attempt, there's no loss on their part.
And there are actually people thinking about not keeping their word?
Truly beyond help in their stupidity.
Leonres withdrew his gaze and then turned to look at another subordinate by his side.
"Send the word down, eliminate all members of the Human Clan in all territories belonging to the Elemental Spirit Clan!"
"Yes!"
Although the other subordinate was puzzled, he still quickly nodded and agreed.
The fate of his recently punished companion was still fresh in his memory.
"Why not just order directly to find Jiang Yuan? Why go through the trouble of eliminating all of the Human Clan within the territories?"
Others dared not ask, but Kayadinger did not belong in their ranks.
"Because we're afraid that the other party will flee after learning of the news,"
Leonres said coldly, glancing at Kayadinger before continuing,
"So many are looking for Jiang Yuan. What if Jiang Yuan realizes something and leaves the Elemental Spirit Clan's territory or even this Grotto Heaven altogether?"
"If you know there's danger ahead, would you still willingly approach?"
After Leonres finished speaking, Kayadinger faltered.
It seemed to be a sound logic, yes.
"Since we already know his destination, it would be best to encounter him on the way. If not, we can surround him at his destination."
"The order to target all of the Human Clan is as such. Even if he knows we're targeting the Human Clan within those territories, isn't that to be expected?"
As Leonres spoke, he sneered, "If we can find him, great. If not, Thunder Fall Mountain lies deeply within the Elemental Spirit Clan's territory and will make a decent graveyard."
Kayadinger fell silent and after a moment, finally looked up, "Then I..."
"You will join the search as well, but no more than two days. After two days, come with me to Thunder Fall Mountain!"
Leonres rose abruptly, looking down at Kayadinger before him, "This time, let him die right here!"
"Alright."
...
...
Meanwhile, Jiang Yuan and his group had just left Thunderstorm Canyon, and several cards appeared in Jiang Yuan's hand.
[72 Transformations·Fake Shape].
He changed his image into one of the Earth Element Spirit Clan that he had seen before, and Nezha and the others also altered their own appearances.
Following that, [Earth Walking Skill].
For the Earth Element Spirit Clan to travel underground, wasn't that only natural?
The duration of [Earth Walking Skill] was relatively short and, due to cooldown reasons, they had to come up and rest after a while.
During the rest periods, they didn't waste any time and continued to walk forward, still in the guise of the Earth Element Spirit Clan.
Although some passing members of the Element Spirit Clan were curious, they didn't inquire further.
Unknown to one another, no one would take the initiative to strike up a conversation.
Of course, a few who recognized them approached to ask why they were coming back at this time.
Upon being addressed by name, Nezha, Shi Ji, Zhao Gongming, and the Old Master did not hesitate to take action.
Within the array, in just a moment, a five-person squad was taken out by Nezha, Shi Ji, and Zhao Gongming.
It's worth mentioning that the Fake Shape not only lasted a long time but also generally wouldn't be broken if not attacked.
Just like the fight Zhao Gongming and Nezha just had, they never let the opponents touch them and directly took them out.
However, it was just a late-stage Great Liang elemental spirit accompanied by a few mid-stage Great Liang ones.
After quickly cleaning up the battleground, they continued forward nonchalantly.
But…
"It seems like there are people ahead?"
"People?"
"Elemental Spirit Clan members."
"Oh, isn't it very normal to have Elemental Spirit Clan members here?"
Jiang Yuan looked at Nezha helplessly but in the next second saw those few Elemental Spirit Clan members approaching them.
"Have you seen any people from the Human Clan?"
"No."
Jiang Yuan was startled for a moment before quickly responding and shook his head as he spoke.
The incomer was a Water Element Spirit Clan individual who found Jiang Yuan and the others' appearances somewhat odd.
"What's the situation with you guys?"
