Battle Royale of the Sinners Chapter 118

Chapter 118
Chapter 118 – Turning Point at Jinyang - Part 9
Late Afternoon .
Ding Yuan settled down the incident and all the officials returned home . Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, and Tong were present in the wrecked main government hall as Ding Yuan's assistants . They were also tired from the aftermath clean-up .
During the cleanup, Tong had explained to Ding Yuan about Dong Zhuo's plan to seduce Lu Bu into betraying him, so the image of Dong Zhuo, the hero of the west border, was crumbled in this incident .
"Son, arrange the troops . I want you to capture all of Dong Zhuo's men . "
Ding Yuan ordered Lu Bu . He had enough of their deceit and conspiracy .
"What if they resist?"
"Kill them all!"
Lu Bu grinned . He gestured Zhang Liao and Gao Shun to follow him . He planned to eradicate everybody without capturing them as he was ordered .
Tong observed Lu Bu's expression and sighed . He knew what Lu Bu was up to, but it was none of his business anymore . He needed to leave as he had finished his job, preventing the father-killing event and changed the history .
'With this, Lu Bu can see salvation . Well, as long as his brute nature can be tamed in the future . '
Tong bowed to Ding Yuan and excused himself . He turned toward the main hall and was about to leave, however…
"Lord Immortal Zhang, please wait for a moment . "
The corner of Tong's eyebrows twitched . Because of the flair, he showed in the fight against Lu Bu, Ding Yuan started calling him "Immortal Zhang" now .
"Yes?"
"I'm sorry that I have a favor to ask you . Is it possible that we can invite your wife to this city? I've heard that she was a deity of the medicines, so I would like to invite her to help our injured soldiers and sick officials . I also would like to have her check up on my health . "
All Tong's motion came to a pause . For a split second, the eyes of Tong flashed a hostile intent toward Ding Yuan . They returned to his casual eyes and Tong smiled back at the old governor .
"I'm very sorry . I'm afraid that my wife is not in the condition to travel back and forth right now . You see, she's pregnant at the moment . "
Tong lied through his teeth . He did not want to expose Hua Shi's pretty face to an outsider as she grew into a beautiful fairy which was too charming in Tong's eyes .
'Her beauty can be a thorn . I don't want to expose her to the public too much . '
The incident at the auction house where a random youngster ogled Hua Shi was still in his mind . He did not want someone to pursue her or admire her even if it was just a glance . This feeling got worse after his aura skills had changed into the [Demonic Curse] .
"Oh? I didn't know about that . Please forgive me . And also congratulations!"
"Thank you, senior . For the injured people, I have a better idea . Sir Li Feihong has the power to open gates to travel a distance quickly . Why don't we have Sir Li helping us in this matter? Actually, Sir Li is also injured from today's incident . I wish to have my wife examine his conditions as well . "
"But isn't he seriously injured as well? Can he still use his power?"
"It's fine . We could give him a few assistants for that . We also need a special stretcher for Sir Li in this matter…"
Tong and Ding Yuan brainstormed about how they could travel to Julu with Li Feihong's private world skill . Tong drafted a hospital stretcher with wheels for Ding Yuan, so he could let his men craft this stretcher faster .
Li Feihong was bedridden at the moment because his ribs were broken and his spine condition could not be examined by the local physicians . He had suffered a bit of internal bleeding, which was treated by the local physicians . He needed modern medical care for further treatment .
Carpenters and craftsmen were summoned into the hall and were given the task to complete it within today .
Two hours later, they completed the prototype wheeled stretcher that Tong copied from the modern hospital stretchers . The chassis and the foundation were made from wood while the bed was made from sewed clothes, dried seeds, and cotton .
The stretcher was taken to the infirmary tent that Li Feihong was resting in right away . Tong also went with the crowd to explain the situation to the injured Feihong .
Ding Yuan gathered all the officials who had troubles with their health . They followed Tong to the infirmary tent later .
Tong arrived at the infirmary tent . Li Feihong lied on the prepared bed with 5 white-hair physicians around him .
The physicians were giving Li Feihong acupunctures to relieve his pain, which made Tong cringed .
'They just simply douse the needles with anesthesia to numb the nerve . This helped nothing . '
"Excuse me . Can I have a word with this man in private?" Tong dismissed the physicians .
The physicians bowed and left . Saw that the five old useless men left, Tong approached Li Feihong .
"Can you still use the gate, Feihong?"
Li Feihong opened his eyes and gazed at Tong with his pitiful eyes .
"You're a slave driver, Tong . I have only 12,000 lifespans left . "
The previous operation and soldier allocation hurt Li Feihong's lifespans . He opened the gate to transfer most of Lu Bu's soldiers into the private world, then he had to take them out . These two processes took a long time to complete . As a result, his lifespans reduced by half .

…
Tong felt pity for the man . He wanted to find a way for him to gain more lifespans . With such thought, he asked the system .
"Is there a way to gain lifespans other than quests?"
[No . ] The system gave a cruel heartless response .
"Well, let me change my question . Other than the main mission quest that can't be taken at the moment, is there a quest that Li Feihong can take?"
[Yes . He can take on the Clan Missions . ]
"What!?"
"Huh!?"
Both Tong and Li Feihong were shocked by the sudden breaking news . They could accept Clan Mission?
"Tell us the detail . Why didn't you tell us before?"
[The conditions for the feature to unlock is not met . You need at least five Clan members to accept these quests . ]
The face of the two paled . They only had two members at the moment . Where could they find more members?
"D-Do we have to accept 3 more otherworlders into our Clan?"
Li Feihong was terrified by the thought . Each reincarnator was dangerous . He did not have the confidence to recruit more people to help him .
On the other hand, Tong fell into deep thought .
'I can make Hua Shi be the third member . But how can I find another two members…'
"System, can I form a Clan Contract with the natives of this world?"
Tong questioned the system without expecting a positive answer . He just asked without much thought .
[Yes . ]
"!!!"
"!!!"
The answer shocked both of them further . New hope was ignited .
"Dammit, system! Why haven't you told us before!?"
[Because you've never asked . ]
"…" Tong facepalmed .
"Oof . " Li Feihong muttered .
"Don't use gen-Z words . It's annoying . "
[But there are a few conditions . ]
"I figured as much . Tell us . "
[One, the native members must swear allegiance with the Clan Leader . ]
Li Feihong looked at Tong, who was appointed as the Clan Leader in the contract at the moment . This condition meant that all potential members had to become Tong's subordinates by default .
His brain started processing . New ideas and plans were born within Li Feihong's mind .
[Two, the native members must drink a drop of your blood, Tong . ]
The expression on Tong's face turned ugly . Drinking someone else's blood was not a good hygienic action . He was not sure if his future members might get sick from it .
[I know what you are thinking . Your blood is clean, so donate it away! Make everybody infec-Whoops! I meant, make everyone stronger!]
"…"
[And lastly, each reincarnator can invite one native into the Clan once a year!]
This time, the face of Li Feihong paled . With only him and Tong, they could only invite two natives, which was not enough members to take the Clan quests .
Li Feihong sighed and muttered .
"I knew it . My luck was bad . I'll have to wait a year . "
Tong chuckled after he had seen Li Feihong's reaction .
"Feihong . Didn't you do the homework?"
"Homework?"
"Yeah . Do you think I'm the only reincarnator in Julu?"
"Eh? You're not … AH!! There's another one!"
"That's right!"
They were talking about Hua Shi, whom Tong planned to make her into another member of this contract, so they could communicate with the others in case of emergency .
"Well . For now, we know what we are going to do next . So, Feihong, I want to transport you to Julu with Ding Yuan and others . I'll have my wife check your conditions and form the Clan Contract with us . I'm planning to use your gate to travel back to my city . Can you help?"
"Hah… Sure…"
Li Feihong sighed . In the end, he would have to waste more lifespans . Then he recalled something .
"Tong, we have to buy that mind-control skill from the shop! The skill that guy used was too dangerous . We need to have it!"
Tong opened the system shop in a hurry . He was disappointed when he looked at his status menu as he did not have any shopping pass remained .
"I'm out of shopping pass . I can't buy a skill . "
Li Feihong gritted his teeth . Though he did not want to use his precious little lifespans, he had to get the skill no matter what . He opened the system menu and scrolled down the skill list for sale .
He was frightened by what he saw .
"TONG!! THE MIND-CONTROLLING SKILL WAS BOUGHT!!"
"What!?"
…
…
Outside of the Capital City of Luo Yang .
Piles of rotten corpses were burning inside a pit . At the side of the hole, the demoness with the lower body of a giant snake stood and watched the flame .
The corpses were none other than the zombies and skeletons that Wang Li had secretly created . Medusa was ordered by the system to destroy all of them before they ran amok by themselves .
[Well done, sneaky snake! I've given your rewards . Check your status!]
"Hmm . "

***************************
Medusa skimmed through her status . A few skills had been altered by the system . She could also repeatedly transform back to her demonic form now, instead of being able to use once .
She opened the system shop to check the status of the remaining otherworlders . The number had changed from 19 to 18 .
Without hesitation, Medusa scrolled down to look for the skills of the fallen otherworlder that had recently died, which she found that there were two skills in the list .
'50,000 Lifespans for one skill . It's expensive . '
'But this [Domination Eyes] can come in handy . I'll take it . '
