Chapter 434: Chapter 419: Breaking Through the Wall
"Boss Liu, how are the mines divided? How much for Shuangjiao, how much for the Lou Family, and how much is yours?"
Liu Liang flicked off the ash from his cigarette and said, "Shuangjiao is just a front; the branch company will naturally give them so profit. The Lou Family cannot be left out; we’ll keep five mines, and the remaining ten are all ours."
"Generous! Are you planning to make a one-ti haul and leave, or is this a long-term plan?"
Liu Liang said, "The Lou Family sent
to investigate so matters, and they also want to coordinate with the Zhao Family to launch a surprise attack in Rucheng. After all, Rucheng is a strategic location, near places like West Sea Demon City and Shuizhou Demon City. Additionally, with the Ancient River Sect establishing its headquarters here, the status of this place has risen, and which force wouldn’t want a piece?"
"Will the Huang ng Sect let it go easily? Over the years, they’ve frequently acted against the Lou Family, and the Lou Family doesn’t dare to venture beyond Xiongjing."
"Bla it on the arrogance of the Huang ng Sect; they killed Third Young Master Zhao. The Zhao Family has already sent a clear signal that they want to eradicate the Huang ng Sect, and the Dong, Xu, Si, and Zhong families have all been secretly cooperating with the Zhao Family. After all, they also suffered losses from Ma Xingkong and the Huang ng Sect and fear their retaliation the most."
"So, from now until the Lou Family officially takes over in Rucheng, we have a lot of ti?"
Liu Liang smiled and said, "Exactly."
"Will families like Xue’s resist?"
"I’ve investigated the forces behind them; the strongest is just a Bone Forger Innate, and he’s almost at the end of his life, hardly a threat."
"If it were in Rucheng, I couldn’t compete with them, given their complex local connections; a strong dragon doesn’t crush a local snake. Shuizhou Demon City is a place where strength matters; they will have to bow, whether they want to or not."
"How many people do they have? That Xue’s, just one kid, what do they need money for? Isn’t it enough to be well-fed and clothed? Our Lou Family has a big business with many mouths to feed, so why not take more? If Xue’s dares to fight back, eradicate them, leaving not even a mouthful of soup."
"Haha, you’re right; having sothing to eat is already good enough, and they dare to be picky."
"You’re generous. If it were soone petty, they’d leave not a soul alive, ending the bloodline."
Zhou Leng listened for a while.
Only then did he understand that the speculations from the Xue Family and the Martial Guard were far less brutal than the reality.
Listening to Liu Liang, one might think even the Otherworld belonged to their family.
Zhou Leng donned his mask.
He gently twisted his neck, loosening his joints.
Qi Blood sped through his body, and the Taiqing Sea Robe silently adhered to his skin.
The Mother Tree Leather Armor spread over his body.
Zhou Leng looked up at the five-story building.
He raised his leg, which suddenly swelled, tearing through his trousers, True Qi surged out with a slight sound.
Soone suddenly shouted from inside, "Who’s outside?"
Qi Blood surged through his right leg, and suddenly he kicked, making his right leg as thick as an elephant’s, hamring into the wall before him.
Boom!
The entire wall exploded, concrete chunks blasted inward, creating an opening as wide as two doors.
The edges of the hole had twisted rebar.
Light shone through the swirling dust, and everyone saw a tall masked man stepping inside.
Turbulent Qi cleared the dust, raising a slight whirlwind.
Liu Liang, a Bone Forging expert and well-experienced, imdiately realized this person’s strength surpassed his own.
The main building’s walls weren’t brick but concrete.
Even he couldn’t destroy a concrete wall like that in a single strike.
One would need to be at the Muscle Stage or even the Great Innate to effortlessly break such a hard concrete structure.
Liu Liang cupped his hands and said, "My friend, I am Liu Liang of Shuangjiao Company, working for the Lou Family in Xiongjing, please..."
"I’m here to kill the Lou Family."
Zhou Leng vanished from his spot, the concrete ground caved in beneath him, storming toward Liu Liang.
The remaining ordinary Innates had not yet reacted when a punch aid straight at Liu Liang’s face.
On his fist, white Qi swirled, True Qi like steel.
Liu Liang, experienced, dared not to take this powered punch, crossed his arms to block with full force while shouting, "Everyone..."
Crack.
Zhou Leng’s punch shattered Liu Liang’s arms, slamming into his chest.
Liu Liang was thrown back, crashed into the rigid concrete wall, his entire skeleton quaked, and rebounded back.
"Elder..."
Liu Liang’s eyes showed pleading.
Zhou Leng stepped forward and punched Liu Liang on the forehead.
His fist pressed against Liu Liang’s skull, slamming it into the back wall.
Rumble...
Liu Liang’s head and the wall behind exploded together, creating a large hole more than a ter in diater.
Liu Liang’s severed neck was embedded in the edge of the hole, his body limply hanging.
Zhou Leng turned, drew out the elf long knife, and charged at the ordinary Innates.
One cut per person, heads flew, Qi Blood surged.
In just a little while, Zhou Leng stopped, the room was in complete disarray, blood everywhere.
At this mont, shouts ca from outside.
Zhou Leng rushed out, swinging the gleaming long knife, slaughtering all the martial artists.
In no ti, Zhou Leng dragged a pile of heads back and returned to the room with Liu Liang’s corpse.
He lined up all the heads side by side.
With the long knife dipped in Liu Liang’s blood, he held it in his left hand and carved two characters on the wall.
Huang ng.
There were nurous cases in the Dragon Country where people were killed under the guise of the Huang ng Sect.
Quickly collecting three Magic Spirit Bags, he then took a turn around the mine’s warehouse, left, and headed straight for the Shuizhou Demon City.
The Snow Mountain Wolf and other Ice Snow Divine Sect mbers were waiting, and together, they left the Shuizhou Base.
This was Zhou Leng’s first ti entering the Demon Spirit World, so he slowed his pace slightly to experience the local culture.
The style here was unlike the rigid dieval European style, more like an eclectic mix of multiple worlds from both the East and the West, and the integration was quite good.
After briefly experiencing it for a few days, he sped up his journey to the Ice Snow Divine Sect.
The Ice Snow Divine Sect was located in the northern part of the Demon Spirit World, where snow and ice persisted year-round, and the ground was eternally frozen.
Upon reaching the base of the Sacred Snow Mountain, a magnificent Xiong City stood there, surrounded by rivers.
On the top of the Sacred Snow Mountain, there was also a small city.
The lower city was one of the three central cities in the entire northern region.
Only personnel of the Ice Snow Divine Sect could enter the upper city.
Everyone climbed up the Sacred Snow Mountain, reaching the upper city on the mountain.
In the center of the upper city, amidst the countless snow-covered mountains, stood a pure black Gothic-like building with a huge spire piercing the clouds.
The Frosty Hand really showed respect; as a legendary master with hopes of reaching demigod status, he personally ca out to welco Zhou Leng.
The Jade Wings had also arrived.
Once Zhou Leng was settled in, the Jade Wings stood outside the building, straightening his body to look at Zhou Leng from outside the second-floor window.
"Zhou Leng, after much effort, I successfully persuaded Her Majesty the Red-Eyed Queen. She is willing to offer you a proposition beyond your imagination."
Zhou Leng took out a Battlefield Shield Order and shook it.
The Jade Wings was dumbfounded, and after a while, he angrily asked, "Where did you get it?"
"My senior brother gave it to ."
"Let
see; I suspect it’s fake."
Zhou Leng put away the Battlefield Shield Order.
The Jade Wings, with a sullen face, said, "A Giant Dragon Blood Marvelous Body, Her Majesty will help you acquire a Giant Dragon Blood Marvelous Body and even give you a bottle of pure dragon blood in advance."
Zhou Leng sat on a reclining chair by the bed, his body gently swaying, and said, "A Giant Dragon Blood Marvelous Body is indeed valuable, but as long as I advance to Grandmaster, I can contact other mbers of the Dragon Race through the Ice Snow Divine Sect. It may just cost so treasures, but at least it won’t cost
my life."
"How can you say that? Her Majesty the Queen values you greatly," said the Jade Wings.
Zhou Leng leisurely said, "I also have great admiration for her."
"Don’t you want the battlefield map?"
"The Great Battlefield is unpredictable. I’m not even sure where I’ll end up, let alone getting a map," Zhou Leng replied.
The Jade Wings frowned and said, "If—I’m just saying if—I take you to the high-level Giant Dragon inheritance?"
Zhou Leng was initially disinterested, but the ntion of "high-level" imdiately reminded him of the Elder Tree’s high-level inheritance of life refinent.
That was a legacy that completely surpassed the Ten Realms, though it was considered a foundational inheritance in a high-level civilization. It seed ordinary at first but would result in exponential growth over ti.
Just from this life refinent, it was no less significant than the Dragon Scale Vermilion Fruit that Elder Tree repeatedly ntioned.
"Are you sure it’s a high-level inheritance?" Zhou Leng asked.
"I’m sure."
"Are you sure you can get in?" Zhou Leng inquired.
The Jade Wings snorted coldly: "I was born there; although I was young at the ti, I knew my way around better than others. Back in the day, it was I who took Her Majesty the Red-Eyed Queen to the high-level Giant Dragon inheritance."
"She has a high-level Giant Dragon inheritance too? No wonder she’s reputed to be the greatest legend under the demigods. Why would she be willing to take
to sothing so valuable?"
The Jade Wings said, "The dragons see it as precious and don’t want it to be spread around, but in my eyes, it’s just an inheritance. Dragons and giant dogs are not much different. Besides, it belongs to the Great Battlefield, not the Dragon World, so they can’t control it."
He then silently thought to himself, just because you can get in doesn’t an you can inherit it. Do you really think you can easily acquire a high-level inheritance? Without soone like , the Jade Wings, with a magnificent Starry Sky Bloodline, you can only get an ordinary Giant Dragon inheritance.
However, for humans, an ordinary Giant Dragon inheritance is more than sufficient. Randomly going for the high-level Giant inheritance could be deadly...
He looked thoughtfully at Zhou Leng; this guy’s body seed very strong, even comparable to his own dragon form.
So of his aura reminded him of certain feelings on the Great Battlefield, as if Zhou Leng had also obtained a high-level inheritance.
Impossible.
The Jade Wings shook his head.
Zhou Leng said, "These past few days, I’ve deliberately looked into Her Majesty the Red-Eyed Queen. Forgive
for being blunt, but I don’t trust her, nor do I understand why she chose ."
"I was the one who chose you."
"Why did she agree to ?"
The Jade Wings hesitated for a while and said, "I lied to her, saying you might be related to the Pale Queen. When the ti cos, don’t let it slip. Just say you’ve visited the Hanging Moon Mountain Range for worship. Moreover, the Pale Queen’s priest is also attending this induction ceremony. I’ll introduce you to the Frosty Hand. Once you know him, won’t that connect you to the Pale Queen?"
"The Pale Queen... Is she a demigod or a Starry Sky Divine Spirit? I’ve heard that the Demon Purgatory is quite peculiar, with almost half its lords being avatars of Starry Sky Divine Spirits."
"She’s definitely a Starry Sky Divine Spirit. Otherwise, why would Her Majesty the Red-Eyed Queen actively seek her favor? The Demon Purgatory is different from the ordinary world; it’s synonymous with distortion and chaos. Foreign Gods aren’t good, so they naturally find ways to develop their powers. Hmm... Don’t casually ntion the term ’Foreign God’; it can bring calamity."
