《Death… And Me》Death... And Me

Those demon beasts couldn't force Kentucky to tell them, so they were forced to ignore it.
It was then that another voice echoed in their minds, saying, "I told you he was strong, didn't I?"
From a distance, an enormous Demon Bull came flying in their direction. The other demon beasts nodded, not doubting him anymore. "Indeed. He's truly strong. No wonder you told us to be careful," the Shadow Splitter Bull responded.
Kentucky looked at the Demon Bull and said, "So, it was you who told them to come?"
"Yes," the bull confirmed. "That was the fastest way to spread the news that you took over my territory. Once the others hear that you defeated both me and Blacky there, they won't come and find a problem with you anymore."
"Who the hell is Blacky?" the wolf snarled as he looked at the Demon Bull with a dark expression.
"Hmph! And who were you calling idiot bull?" Sadly for the wolf, the bull didn't show the least bit of respect either.
Kentucky, on the other hand, didn't care too much about it. "Alright, that's enough. If you guys have nothing else to talk about, you can head back to your own territories. I'm busy building my new nest in the valley." This part wasn't a lie.
Nevertheless, the Demon Bull couldn't help but ask, "Just one thing. Why do I feel like the Spiritual Energy here had suddenly decreased?"
Kentucky shrugged his shoulders, saying, "How the hell would I know? The world has been going through these changes everywhere. I came from quite far away, but the same thing's happening in other locations. All I know is that this amount of Spiritual Energy is still many times higher than what we had in the past, so I don't care."

The other demon beasts had to admit that Kentucky was right. "Well, we all hope that this isn't a temporary thing. Anyways, let's go. Our new friend here has his own things to do." After that, the four demon beasts turned around and left.
Kentucky and Roan sighed in relief after seeing them leave. The only issue for them would be if they decided to forcefully enter the valley. It still didn't have a protection formation, and it would take quite some time for Rean to add one capable of blocking Stage Five Demon Beasts. That's why Rean didn't even try making one yet.
Roan then looked at Kentucky and said, "I'm going back to continue working. Stay out here and keep observing. Although it seems like there won't be others coming, we better be safe."
Of course, Kentucky felt somewhat annoyed by that. "And here I thought I could finally go back and build my nest..." Nevertheless, he knew Roan was right. "Alright, I'll tell you if someone appears."
Roan nodded after that before heading back into the valley.
Far away, the wolf, python, and bird had separated from the Demon Bull and flew into the distance. Along the way, they looked at each other before the Wind Sazan spoke, "We need to report this to the Blue Luan."
The Shadow Splliter Wolf nodded as he pondered over something else, asking, "Do you think that Demon Bird is also a Divine Demon Beast?"
The Streak Python and Wind Sazan narrowed their eyes as one of them replied, "We don't know. However, he's just in the Initial Stage Five level. As for us, we're all in the Middle Stage Five level. Nonetheless, I don't believe we could win against him even if we three fought against him at once. And that's already considering that his slave won't help."

The Streak Python nodded in response to the Sazan's words as he continued where he left off. "Correct. That's not the type of power a simple demon beast would be able to show, especially when it has lower cultivation. We definitely need to report it to the Blue Luan."
The three nodded their heads in agreement before increasing their speed, soon disappearing in the distance.
Back on Rean's side, several hours had passed. Because he wasn't with Kentucky, he took a lot longer to leave the Koran Forest. "Hmm...if I'm not wrong, I saw a small tribe around 100 kilometers away from here." Rean then used the landscape as his guide before darting forward.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for him to find the tribe his group passed by along their way to Koran Forest. Rean then spread his Spiritual Sense inside, trying to see if there was anyone able to feel it. After all, his Spiritual Sense could still be detected even if others couldn't detect his body with the same method. It's only that the other side would need to have a similar cultivation level to Rean.
Soon, a picture of the entire tribe entered Rean's head, which showed the cultivation of everyone present. 'Hmm? I hadn't noticed it before because Roan, Kentucky, and I refrained from spreading our Spiritual Senses. However, even the humans here have cultivation.'
The tribe had over 30 thousand members. Of course, in a place like the Tribes' Zone, it was still considered a small tribe. Otherwise, how could such a place with no real controlling powers defend itself against the invading empire for so long?
In the middle of the tribe, most humans were in the Body Transformation Realm, but quite a few were in the Energy Gathering Realm. Rean even saw three humans in the Foundation Establishment Realm. Considering how humans were treated and the incredible lack of Spiritual Energy of the planet just a little while ago, those were impressive achievements for humans.
'Well, the Zasfins are obviously the ones leading the tribe. I can even see three at the Core Formation Realm. As for Foundation Establishment Zasfins, there are more than thirty. Not to mention that all the humans in the Energy Gathering Realm and above still have slave collars,' Rean thought as he paid attention to everything.
Humans were still humans. In the entire tribe, they made up around 30% of the population, but they were responsible for all the menial tasks. Rean decided to ignore the humans at the Energy Gathering Realm and above. After all, they might cause problems for the kids in the future. He mainly focused on the humans who seemed to be oppressed and had the lowest cultivations.
Above all, Rean had one last criterion. The humans he selected still had to have some life in their faces. They couldn't be like the others, who looked just like zombies who had lost the will to fight against their fate. That wouldn't be of any help for what Rean's group was trying to achieve.
