Chapter 63 Wrath
Lu Fengrou said softly, "That kid is really a bit strange. He just killed a sixth-rank peak underground general with a single strike. Although it was because of a sneak attack, that attack was not simple."
As long as he doesn't encounter a seventh-rank commander of the underground dungeons, that kid should be able to escape even if he encounters someone whose essence and blood have merged.
Upon hearing this, Huang Jing couldn't help but sigh, "Has this kid grown to this level...?"
The teacher's judgment was indeed correct.
Huang Jing then stopped thinking about anything else and turned his attention to the construction of the base area.
......
Qin Fengqing, who was still on her way to the base, was unaware of all this and was calculating the profits from this trip as she traveled.
There's no need to count the cultivation energy stones; Qin Fengqing's storage space already contains enough energy stones for a small mine, and they're high-purity ones at that.
A large bottle of life essence, excluding the weight of the bottle, weighs a full 150kg, no less than what I obtained last time.
It was probably something the Lord of Demon Lotus City intended to bestow upon his high-ranking subordinates or for his own use outside; otherwise, there would be no need to specifically put it in a bottle.
There are eight immortal fruits, each worth 10 billion, for a total of 80 billion.
The three demonic lotus seeds are worth 150 billion each, and the total value of the three is 450 billion.
A complete eight-petaled golden lotus is worth 1600 billion.
The rare and precious materials obtained from the last secret room alone are worth a total of 2850 billion, not to mention the large bottle of life essence and the resources looted from the warehouse in front.
Qin Fengqing made a fortune this time.
Moreover, it greatly relieved the pressure on the human strongholds. If nothing unexpected happens, after the Lord of Demon Lotus City recovers, he will definitely take out resources to bestow upon his subordinates as Venerable Commanders to win over the hearts of the people, after all, he has just experienced a great defeat.
We urgently need to replenish our ranks with seventh and eighth-grade combat power to guard against other royal cities and human warriors.
After all, the underground royal city is not in a peaceful state either, and there will be some friction more or less, even though the Demon Lotus City is quite far away from other royal cities.
Nowadays, Demon Lotus City is considered a highly desirable prize by other royal cities. Once the news spreads, other royal cities will likely come to test the waters, all wanting to take a piece of Demon Lotus City.
Therefore, before the news spreads completely, the Demon Lotus City must expedite the advancement of the surviving seventh-rank commanders to the eighth-rank Venerable level, and select warriors whose blood essence is at the first level to bestow life essence upon them to fill the vacancies in the seventh-rank realm.
Qin Fengqing looked at the resources in the storage space with great satisfaction, feeling very pleased with her gains this time. The danger she encountered was not as great as the last time, when an eighth-grade Earthly Venerable had actually intervened.
......
The Lord's Mansion of Demon Lotus City.
Just as Qin Fengqing had predicted, after everyone had finished healing, the city lord of Demon Lotus City immediately convened a high-level meeting at the city lord's mansion.
Apart from those who had missions to perform, all other experts whose essence and blood had reached the level of unity were present.
At this moment, the many underground warriors below looked at each other in bewilderment.
This crushing defeat also caught many underground warriors off guard.
Three eighth-rank Venerables were lost, five seventh-rank commanders were lost, and the low- and mid-rank underground army suffered even more casualties. In the end, less than one in ten were able to escape back to the royal city.
It can be said that this time, Demon Lotus City has suffered the biggest blow in its history.
A suffocating atmosphere permeated the air. Among the fallen underground warriors were their relatives, subordinates, and friends.
No one spoke; they all waited silently for the arrival of the City Lord of Demon Lotus City.
Meanwhile, the city lord of Demon Lotus City was on his way to the warehouse.
Before even entering the warehouse, the City Lord of Demon Lotus City had already sensed something was wrong; the energy around the warehouse had thinned considerably.
Normally, with so many cultivation energy stones piled up, the area around the warehouse would be the place with the most concentrated energy in the City Lord's Mansion. However, the energy concentration around the warehouse is now no different from other places around the City Lord's Mansion.
The city lord of Demon Lotus City's expression began to turn grim. When he opened the layers of doors, what came into view were rows of empty shelves. The boxes of high-purity cultivation energy stones that had been placed on them had vanished without a trace.
The deeper they went, the lord of Demon Lotus City's expression grew increasingly grim.
The entire warehouse is now practically empty; there's nothing of value left.
The city lord of Demon Lotus City ran straight to the secret chamber, pressed the mechanism, and the door to the secret chamber opened the next second.
The empty stone platform stimulated the nerves of the Demon Lotus City Lord.
The next moment, the pressure of a ninth-grade martial artist erupted.
All that could be heard was the Demon Lotus City Lord gritting his teeth and saying, "Who did this?!"
At this moment, the high-level martial artists in the underground cave who were still waiting for the city lord of Demon Lotus City all sensed the city lord's aura.
Everyone was startled and flew directly towards the direction from which the oppressive force had erupted.
Upon arriving at the location where the oppressive aura had erupted, they found the Lord of Demon Lotus City in the completely collapsed ruins.
Just now, the City Lord of Demon Lotus City unleashed his power, and the entire warehouse collapsed.
Seeing his subordinates flying over, the city lord of Demon Lotus City stared intently at one of the eighth-rank Venerables.
All that could be heard was the icy voice of the City Lord of Demon Lotus City: "Mu Yi, you need to give me an explanation!"
When everyone saw that the warehouse, now a complete ruin, contained not a single resource, they immediately understood what had happened and their eyes turned to Venerable Mu Yi, who had been singled out by the City Lord of Demon Lotus City.
Venerable Muyi, his face pale and trembling, said, "City Lord, I don't know what happened either!"
I have been guarding the city gate ever since you left, and I have been guarding the city gate ever since you returned.
And I wouldn't dare enter the warehouse without your orders!
The city lord of Demon Lotus City glanced at Mu Yi with a cold look.
"I doubt you'd have the guts!"
Before the Lord of Demon Lotus City went out this time, he went to the warehouse once, and then looked at the time it took for the energy to dissipate to a level similar to the energy concentration in other places.
The city lord of Demon Lotus City was certain that the warehouse theft occurred when they entered the Fountain of Life.
"Go and fetch the warehouse guards who kept us when we entered the Fountain of Life!"
Soon, two underground warriors were brought over. At first, they didn't know what had happened. When they saw the warehouse that had been reduced to ruins, they hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed frantically.
"Lord City Lord, this has nothing to do with us!"
The city lord of Demon Lotus City spoke calmly, "During the time we entered the Spring of Life, did anyone enter the warehouse?"
One of the underground warriors hurriedly said, "I hereby inform the city lord that no one entered the warehouse when you all entered the Fountain of Life."
"The warehouse door was never opened during our inspection!"
"Did you hear anything?"
Both men shook their heads, but the next second one of them suddenly remembered something and said slowly with an uncertain tone, "Lord Qi, I think I heard a strange sound at the time?"
