Chapter 818 - Saresha's Suggestion

"Thank you, my Lord. I'll forever engrave this favor in my heart," Nyfarella solemnly declared.
However, Leon waved his hand with a noncommittal attitude and said, "No need, it's just a Tier-6 weapon; I have plenty of these to give away."
"Saresha, this is for you," he then said to his first dark fae follower while pulling out another Tier-6 weapon and tossing it over casually.
Saresha caught the Tier-6 White Sword with surprise before sweating at the next moment, thinking she could have lost her fingers to the sharp blade if she was careless.
"T-thank you, my Lord! I'll treasure this gift with my life," she stated.
"Suit yourself," Leon nodded.
After handing out his carrots, he turned to the rest of the dark faes and said, "The rest of you also have your chances of receiving a high-tier artifact from me, so continue to work hard for me."
"Yes, my Lord!" the dark faes answered with determined looks.
"My Lord, what about us?" A Mid Arch Demon-level Dark Wyrm suddenly asked after seeing the Lord casually hand out treasures to the dark faes.
"You?" Leon glanced at the dark wyrm and asked, "Can you use a sword?"
"No, my Lord."
"Can you use a spear?"
"No, my Lord."
"Then what weapon can you use among all weapons made to be wielded by hands?"
"This… I'm not sure…" the Mid Arch Demon-level Dark Wyrm used its tail to scratch its head with an embarrassed smile.
"Then what do you need a weapon for me?" Leon furrowed his brows and asked, "Bloodline-strengthening isn't enough for you?"
"This… It is enough, my Lord… I just thought I should try asking, haha…" the Mid Arch Demon-level Dark Wyrm said, feeling ashamed while being subjected to the dark wyrms' glares and scrutiny.
Leon shook his head amusedly before turning to Shadowtail.
"How many more members of your clan are we still waiting on?" he asked.
"Our clan numbered in the 2000s back in the days, but now, I am not exactly sure, my Lord; it could have risen or dropped over the years," Shadowtail answered truthfully.
'Tak-si," Leon immediately called.
The realm spirit knew what he wanted to ask and quickly answered, 'Another 1728 dark wyrms are still on their way, Master.'
'Got it, thanks.'
Shortly after, Leon said to Shadowtail, "Seems like your numbers have slightly grown; there's still another 1728 dark wyrms on their way. So stay, and gather them; I'll be leaving first. We'll meet in the western region when you've gathered your clan."
"But…" Shadowtail hesitated before ultimately agreeing with a nod, "As you wish, my Lord. Please be careful on your way."
"Naturally."
…
Leon left with Aria, Darlene, and the 126 dark faes shortly after.
They returned to the south floating landmass in the sky before jumping to the last floating landmass in the west.
Like the north and south floating islands, the west floating island was also treasureless after a thorough search.
As such, the group did not linger for long before descending to the shores of the western region to gather the other dark fae groups.
However, no dark fae was spotted.
"Seems like the dark faes from the west and north region have yet to arrive… Are you taking care of them, Tak-si?" Leon inquired.
'Yes, Master," Tak-si answered.
'But as you know, the Bone Sea is not exactly small; the dark faes cannot traverse such get distances within a short time like Master. As such, it will take more time for them to arrive.'
'They're not getting chased by other demons for abandoning their posts and duties, are they?' Leon inquired further.
'I managed to convince the dark fae group from the north to slip away during the chaos of battle between the demons and humans over here, so no one is pursuing them. But the west group is, however,' Tak-si informed him.
'Nevertheless, Master does not need to worry about the demons' strengths; the strongest pursuer among them is only at the Mid Lesser Demon level.'
'I see,' Leon acknowledged.
After the last two groups of dark faes arrive and assimilate into the group, he will have roughly 250 members of the Dark Fae Clan, which was fifty less than their initial number.
Evidently, quite a few dark faes had died since they entered the secret realm, and he even played a small part in it.
'How far am I away from the core?' he asked shortly after.
'Currently, Master is eight miles from the perimeters of the underground ruins in the west while the core is located six miles further than that. Of course, Master still has to dig through 20-thousand feet of land,' Tak-si answered.
'I see.' Leon acknowledged.
"We will camp here for the time being; more dark faes will be arriving soon," Leon declared to the group.
Then, he intended to leave and use his Nihility Law on the excess land and stock up on True Grandmist Energy for his cultivation and the Radiant Heaven Realmship's repair.
But before he could, Saresha approached him.
"My Lord," she called.
"Hm?" Leon casually glanced at her and asked, "What is it? Speak freely."
"Yes, my Lord," Saresha complied before mentioning, "Back in the Blacksand Desert, Saresha witnessed my Lord performing blood refinement to improve the Dark Wyrm Clan's True Dragon Bloodline."
"What about it?" Leon asked with a raised brow.
"Saresha wonders if my Lord can also try performing the blood refinement on our Dark Fae Clan's bloodline," she suggested.
"Oh? Interested," Leon rubbed his chin thoughtfully.
Although the Dark Fae Clan's ancient bloodline might not be of any use for his Body Cultivation, it piqued his interest, nonetheless.
If the Dark Fae Clan also had a deep heritage, they could also become powerful after awakening their bloodline—just like how he helped the Desolate Crow Clan.
'I wonder how they are going…' Leon recalled the people he left behind in the Desolate Crow Clan.
'Well, no use thinking about it now. I can only return after finishing my business here in this secret realm.'
"Let's give it a go then," Leon agreed with Saresha's request.
