The night has come in the Soul Realm. Zhang Ziyi was silent in front of the window. Staring at the night moon that with its silver light illuminated Zhang Ziyi's Soul realm despite being in Zhang Ziyi's Soul Realm, yet this place was nothing like the real world in general, where there is also a change of day.
A moment of contemplation, he suddenly felt something in his mind closing both of his eyes, the strongest image of what was happening to crush the Gnome race. The picture lasted for a while. Zhang Ziyi no longer felt any pain.
"This can't be allowed. I have to go back there!" zhang Ziyi.
He had seen bloodshed there. If it is not immediately resolved immediately, fear later even more enlarged and ended with casualties on his side increased. There is even a possibility of the Gnome race being lost in the world civilization.
That very night Zhang Ziyi came to Zhang Zhili, Zhang Meng, Zhang Yin, Zhang Bie, Zhang Lan, Shui Shan and Shui Bing. Intended to convey related to what he saw earlier.
"What's wrong? Why did you come by showing such a panicked face?" asked Zhang Zhili.
"We don't have time. Immediately prepare yourself, then we will go to the place where the Gnome Race is!" Zhang Ziyi was straight to the point.
"Good!"
The seven people both nodded.
-
"Are you ready?" zhang Ziyi asked the seven companions behind her.
"Yes, we're ready!"
A dimensional portal was created before them. Zhang Ziyi set up the portal directly with the place where the Gnome Race was located. Armed with the mental strength that he had once left in place of the Gnome Race just in case, then Zhang Ziyi was not the slightest bit difficult in finding the location of the Gnome race.
***
Whush!
The portal appeared in the air. Afterwards two fire creatures came out, from inside the portal. The two fire creatures were none other than Laohu and Niao. They fly, circling the air.
The appearance of Niao and Laohu in the portal managed to attract the attention of all those down there.
"Well, we found an interesting treasure. Haha... Immediately leave our loot, and go catch the two Fire Demons!" said one, have a temperament like a human, but beards and green skin. It has a nose resembling a pig's nose as well as pointed horns on both sides of its nose. He shouted reminding his comrades to stop attacking the Gnomes and switch to attacking Laohu and Niao.
The people who had the same appearance as the one who shouted earlier immediately ran like ants. The Gnomes they no longer care about. On the other hand, the masked cultivators, were currently also struggling in serving those pig-nosed people. Some of its members were seriously injured, some were also among those who claimed lives by these green-skinned people.
The green-skinned people who have the pig's nose are themselves Hunluan. The troublemaker and likes to take property and make riot from village to village. That in itself can happen because they have great power with it. The hammers and axes they use as weapons are not just weapons. Rather than a spiritual weapon, it was of equivalent quality to a weapon above the Spiritual Weapon itself.
Some of them immediately threw long ropes, to catch Niao and Laohu.
Successfully megenai the bodies of the two demons, but unfortunately the rope they use is actually burned by fire in the body of both.
Rawwr!!!
Kyya!!!
Laohu and Niao let out loud roars and screeches. Seemed angry and attacked people of the Hunluan race. Both spouted fire from his mouth, directing the spray at the Hunluan race.
"Everything, form a Hunluan shield formation!" one of them was commanding. Without anyone to resist, the Hunluan race immediately moved to take their respective positions and form a formation.
"Hunluan Shield Formation!" they said along with a firm voice. After that appeared a golden energy shield that instantly dispelled the attacks launched by Niao and Laohu.
And it worked.
In a moment, Zhang Ziyi as well as his comrades appeared, exiting the dimensional portal. Directly sweeping his gaze around, it did not take long for the eight people to understand the situation that was happening in this place.
"We can't just be quiet." Zhang Ziyi. While the vortex of purple-black energy emanating from the portal behind them had disappeared.
Zhang Ziyi instantly swung his hands forward, after which raising his subordinates. But not all but just the two thousand troops he had put out. The rest were in the Soul realm.
These subordinates consisted of the Centaurus Race, as well as the Seven Elements Sect, already including the 12 elders of the Zhang clan there. He issued the number of two thousand troops because the Hunluan race itself numbered around it or a little more than two thousand people.
"You guys immediately sort out this strange creature, while the others help the masked cultivator as well as the injured Gnome race!" zhang Ziyi said with a firm and loud voice.
"Okay, Leader!" speak at the same time. Then they started moving. Split into two sides and perform the task as instructed by Zhang Ziyi earlier.
The Hunluan race, which had focused their focus on Laohu and Niao, now turned away when the arrival of other troops who came directly attacked. The fight broke out right then and there.
Whush!
Baammu!
Trang!
The tring!
Duarr!
It seemed that the troops from Zhang Ziyi's subordinates were so fiery in attacking the Hunluan race. They wanted to prove to Zhang Ziyi who was watching them from up there, that they had improved. Also because it was rare for them to fight as seriously as they were today, then they would not miss this opportunity, to finish off as many enemies as possible.
Time passes quickly. With that fiery spirit, Zhang Ziyi's subordinates finally managed to defeat the Hunluan Race. Even the leader of the Hunluan race himself could be easily defeated by Moi Hu.
Many casualties on the Hunluan race. From what was once two thousand seven hundred, it has now been reduced to five hundred. As for Zhang Ziyi's own army, it had only lost around a hundred hundred people, and another five hundred people were injured, both seriously and lightly. Even so, they still cheered on this victory.
The remaining Hunluan races were not allowed to simply leave, but were made prisoners.
Zhang Ziyi mobilized dozens of troops from the Seven Elements sect to collect the treasures that had been seized by the Hunluan race. And return it to the Gnome race.
"Leader, what are we going to do with these troublemakers?" moi Hu asked while cupping both hands in salute.
"Hmm, they have killed many of my subordinates. It's not good to just let them go." Zhang Ziyi seemed to think for a moment. "Seeing their strength in fighting as well as other things, it seems like these people are suitable to serve as bodyguards."
"Good idea!" Zhang Zhili praised Zhang Ziyi.
"All right! I'll assign you from now on to become the bodyguards of the Gnome race." Zhang Ziyi spoke as his gaze was directed at the kneeling Hunluan race.
"Currently, what right do you have to govern us?" one of the Hunluan races seemed to be unable to accept what Zhang Ziyi had ordered earlier.
"You want to refuse my orders?" Zhang Ziyi looked at the person who said earlier with a sharp look. Little did he also put out his pressure on that person.
Shuddered in horror as he received the gaze and pressure that Zhang Ziyi had placed on him. "Ti–no, Master!" he said with fear.
"Well, like this is better."
Zhang Ziyi then took out his spirit power. Smoke billowed and formed a human figure. He has a stern face but looks scary. The spirit then bowed respectfully to Zhang Ziyi.
"You, keep an eye out for the movements made by these green-skinned people. They will become the bodyguards of the Gnome race, if they riot or issue suspicious actions, then you can directly eat them!" zhang Ziyi said to the spirit.
"I understand, Sir!" The Spirit then turned towards the Hunluan Race. That one look instantly made the Hunluan race tremble. Between Fear and Worry. Seeing the ghostly figure before them, it felt like they were running and avoiding the ghost.
"Curtain, just these little guys. I will do my duty well, sir. Believe me if anyone rebels, then I'll eat them right away."
Zhang Ziyi put on a small smile.
"Sir, these Hunluan Race are vandals and thieves. As well as the Orb race, they love to collect material possessions." Moi Hu came and passed on the information related to the Hunluan Race to Zhang Ziyi.
"Good." Zhang Ziyi approached one of the Hunluan races.
Approached by Zhang Ziyi, made the Hunluan race frightened.
"Also sir! Oh, God, don't kill me!" he said it with fullness of requests for forgiveness.
"You just calm down! I won't hurt you, as long as you contribute by telling me where your storage treasures are!"
One Hunluan hesitated to answer. Looking towards his comrades, they seemed resigned to his fate.
"Hm!" The spirit is beating. Instantly made the Hunluan race frightened.
"Good–good Sir! I'll drop you off!" Zhang Ziyi revealed a small smile.
"Hurry and get me there!"
***
The Hunluan race treasures were stored in the Gnome race storage warehouse. Because it has a diameter so wide, so that the treasures fit in one room. But that wasn't enough, Zhang Ziyi himself intervened to make the storage warehouse even wider.
He himself set aside some of the spoils to share with his subordinates. Everything is equal without anything being overstated. Even more, it meant that it belonged to the leaders of each of Zhan Ziyi's subordinate groups. Likewise with Zhang Zhili and Zhang Ziyi's comrades, who obtained more treasures than the others.

"Ziyi! I think we're strong enough to build our own base in this Upper Realm!" zhang Zhili said one night.
"Teacher's right! We need to establish a base in this Upper realm!" reply Zhang Ziyi. "But for that, we need to have a large area of land!"
"You know, in this Upper Realm, the law of the jungle is so enforced. Political problems make anyone who has more power, can make one or two groups as subordinates. It even has the potential to seize their territory." Zhang Zhili stopped his words for a moment. "We can use this law of the jungle as a foundation for land problems."
Zhang Ziyi and his comrades nodded their heads hearing Zhang Ziyi's explanation.
"Teacher, right. This is when we open up to the outside world. Become a faction with great power. And compete with other groups in this Upper realm. Regarding the money supply, we don't need to think about that, because we have a lot of money supply with us!"
"When are we going to start?" ask Zhang Lan.
"Hmm, tomorrow! Yes, tomorrow we will start looking for territory in the Upper Realm. As a show of strength and show the inhabitants of this Upper Realm who we are!" zhang Ziyi.
