Heavenly Unbound: The System Maker! -
Chapter 187 – Blood Frost Clan, The Teleporter!
“Lady Hanbing… A moment ago, we lost contact with the last stronghold in the Long Mountain Region. I believe they’ve already been wiped out,” the manservant said.
“What about the ritual?” asked the woman with sharp crimson eyes and white hair. Her voice was cold, showing no concern for the deaths of her clanmates.
“The ritual failed,” the manservant replied. He sensed the cold aura; to avoid being frozen alive, he immediately continued.
“However, before they lost contact, they sent us the bloodstone,” the manservant said.
“Good,” Hanbing said, her voice better after hearing the essential item for the ritual was still in their possession.
To make the bloodstone usable for the ritual, her clan had refined it with the blood and souls of countless mortals over thousands of years. Losing it now would be a devastating blow.
“This past year has been truly unpredictable…" She murmured.
"Who would have expected them to strike us first? Even more puzzling, they did it just before we were ready to move to the next phase.”
"Have you found out how they managed to accomplish this so quickly?” Hanbing asked.
“We know the Xia Clan has acquired a new helper. We don’t know who yet, as we are still investigating. This helper has been feeding them highly accurate intelligence about us. I suspect we might have a traitor, or…” the manservant hesitated.
“The other Blood clan?” Hanbing replied coldly.
“Highly likely, because the information they have about us is accurate—but not too detailed. It would only be possible if the helper had access to the reports we sent back to the Blood Origin Continent,” the manservant said.
“It must be the Blood Flame Clan!” Hanbing shouted, slamming her palm against the crystal table beside her. Cracks spread across its surface like a web of frozen glass.
“Their progress on the Mystic Heaven Continent is nothing compared to my Blood Frost Clan!” Her yellow eyes glowed with rage as she rose to her feet. In a sudden fit, she swept the teacups, scrolls, and jade tokens off the table, sending them clattering across the floor.
“Jealous fools! They dare to sabotage me!” Hanbing yelled in anger, the voice was loud enough to shatter all the glass.
The manservant fell silent, not daring to express his opinion when Lady Hanbing became enraged.
After a few tense moments, Hanbing took a deep breath. The chill aura in the chamber began to fade slightly. She turned, composed once more, though her voice remained sharp.
“Find out quickly who’s trying to sabotage me." She ordered.
“Yes, Lady Hanbing,” the manservant said, stepping back, preparing to leave.
“Wait.”
He froze, turning back immediately. “Yes, my lady?”
Hanbing narrowed her eyes. “We’ve wasted enough time. Prepare the sacrifice—we begin the new ritual immediately.”
The manservant hesitated. “Our current livestock may not be enough to carry out the new ritual soon, my lady.”
Hanbing’s gaze sharpened, her yellow eyes gleaming with cold fury.
“Then gather them all,” she said flatly.
“Every mortal within our region—servant, slaves, or livestock. I don’t care who. Offer them all if that’s what it takes!”
The manservant swallowed hard and bowed low.
“As you command, Lady Hanbing,” the manservant replied and swiftly vanished from the chamber.
…
The snow had stopped falling.
The once pure white snow that blanketed the land had now been dyed red with crimson blood—not the blood of the alliance, but that of the Blood Fiend Palace’s demonic cultivators.
They were once feared for their mastery over blood, but now, they themselves had become nothing more than piles of blood and flesh.
From the stone courtyard within the newly reclaimed stronghold, laughter echoed. Soldiers and cultivators—bloodied, exhausted, but alive—raised their cups and shouted toward the sky.
“We did it!”
“The Blood Fiend rats are gone!”
Drums thundered. Fires roared in the braziers.
Hengsheng stood above the clouds, observing the numerous cultivators celebrate the victory over their enemy's corpse.
He did not join in the celebration. For him, war was always terrible; being the winner of the war was just less terrible — the best thing was no war at all.
Zhang Minghao approached, stopping a few meters behind him. Hengsheng noticed it, but he did not turn to face the other party as he wanted to keep an image of a mysterious leader.
"How was our army’s performance?" Hengsheng asked, with his eyes on the ground below.
"Good, but not great. 419 warriors have been sent back," Zhang Minghao replied in a polite tone.
"That's a lot, well, that’s to be expected since we are in the middle of enemy forces. It's already great enough that we have not been wiped out," Hengsheng said. He paused a little before he continued.
"I will take this as a pass. I reward every warrior with a million Wealth Points," Hengsheng said as he opened the system and then sent every warrior in the Dark Gold Army a Wealth Point as the reward.
Zhang Minghao, hearing ‘1 Million Wealth Points,’ his eyes widened, his calm expression turning greedy.
A million Wealth Points!
That’s enough to buy a legendary divine-grade treasure!
"Thank you for your generosity, Chairman!" Zhang Minghao said as he bowed in respect.
While he bowed, he heard a Ding! sound as a sign that the Wealth Points had been deposited in his Wealth Account. Zhang Minghao excitedly thought about buying things with his amount.
"You can go and celebrate with the others. Tomorrow, I’ll return to bring the remaining warriors back to base," Hengsheng said.
"Understood," Zhang Minghao replied, then turned and left, heading down to join the warriors of the Dark Gold Army.
Seeing the other party leave, Hengsheng opened the dimensional vortex and then disappeared from this place.
Hengsheng reappeared at the Maker Mansion. The sky here was clear and beautiful, unlike the battlefield sky, which was always dark because of the dense violence-related Qi.
He loved being here since it made him feel safe and in a good mood. Hengsheng's eyes spotted a cat with a pair of icy blue wings in the sky. It glided toward him and then landed on top of his head.
"Meow," Yunsu meowed, asking if his work was going well.
"Yep," Hengsheng said as he petted her head.
In the past year, he spent a lot of time recovering Yunsu’s mental state, using the simulator to temper her mind. Now she was good and no longer depressed. Hengsheng was relieved that he didn’t have to erase her memory.
"Blue, how’s the teleporter? Is it working?" Hengsheng asked.
"Yes, master. I am already ready to deploy them anytime you say," Blue replied from within Hengsheng's head.
"Send the notice to all managers and then deploy them!" Hengsheng said.
"Yes, master!" Blue replied. She immediately did what her master asked.
She sent the notification to all the managers at various locations across Seventh Heaven, where businesses under the Endless Wealth Company operated.
She told them about the teleporter, the device that allows them to teleport across distances, similar to a teleportation formation, but this device only works device-to-device within the network.
Hengsheng nodded in a good mood.
He thought it was great that Blue had suggested this idea to him.
When he made a deal with the Xia Clan, in exchange for helping them fight against the Blood Fiend Palace, he would get a piece of land that would be guaranteed with the dynasty luck contract, so they would not turn against him when the war settled.
However, working so hard and having to wait until the enemy was all gone was not fair to his side.
Blue suggested to him that he should ask for something else along the way. That’s why he received a teleportation formation blueprint in exchange for proving his intelligence was real.
Even though he didn’t need it since he already had a Dimensional Traveler System, his employees did.
Currently, his faction, the Endless Wealth Company, did not have a long-distance traveling method other than flying ships, which 5 out of 100 always got robbed along the way.
Which he did not like. He preferred teleportation; it was faster and safer.
Blue could use her power to teleport the employees between locations under her control, but that required her attention, which was a headache even for the System race.
She could also create a teleportation device in her domain like the one that the challenger used in the Tower World, but due to the law difference, the cost of each teleportation was still too high to be worth it.
However, with the teleportation formation blueprint, she could improve her original teleportation device—reducing the cost and increasing its effectiveness—making it usable for everyone without requiring her direct operation.
"It's finished, Master. Should I place one at the mansion?" Blue asked.
"Yes—install it at the front gate," Hengsheng replied.
"All done. You can go check it out now," Blue said.
Hengsheng nodded, and then he moved to the front gate of the Maker Mansion.
There he saw something new that hadn’t been there before — a teleporter.
It looked exactly like a stargate from a sci-fi movie—a high-tech, circular portal set within a metallic frame.
