Xu Ding’s saber glowed faintly with a cold blue light as he moved toward the ice statues, its blade sharp and menacing.
Crack!
In an instant, Xu Ding sliced one of the ice statues in half. However, he frowned as it appeared that the saber had only struck the ice and not the foreign race inside.
Xu Ding quickly realized that there were no foreign races within the ice statues. Instead, there was only a green leaf, and a distinct knife mark marred its surface.
Xu Ding looked at the other two identical ice statues. Xu Ding raised his saber and stepped forward.
With swift precision, Xu Ding destroyed both of them, and one of them bore an expression that mimicked the foreign race’s desperate attempt to escape.
“If not for the array, you would have escaped.”
Xu Ding looked at the other green leaf. There was still a saber mark on it, and under his feet was the corpse of the foreign race.
“What about the other one?”
Xu Ding frowned and looked at the array formed by the Nine Howling Wolf
Cavalry. At that moment, there was nothing in the array. The other
Transcendent had also disappeared without a trace.
A smile appeared on Mei Changge’s face. Then, he pointed at Xu Ding’s feet.
“At your feet!”
Initially, Xu Ding had intended to launch an attack, but now it was evident that the foreign races were solely focused on escaping. However, they were ensnared within the confines of the Howling Moon Array, making their exit far from straightforward.
Unless these foreign races were very strong, such as the Mandrill race who had left, they could only be trapped in the array formation.
“At my feet?”
Upon hearing Mei Changge’s words, Xu Ding directed his gaze downward and discerned the presence of some distinct weeds amid the surrounding vegetation.
“Come out!”
Xu Ding’s eyes narrowed and slashed the long saber in his hand.
A green light lit up from the weeds and the Transcendent of the foreign race appeared in front of Xu Ding again.
“I know where the Forest race’s treasure vault is!”
The Transcendent yelled when he appeared, afraid that Xu Ding’s saber would fall on him.
“Wait a minute, Xu Ding.”
Mei Changge’s eyes lit up. He said to Xu Ding and walked toward the Howling Moon Array.
Seeing Mei Changge coming over, Xu Ding controlled the array and revealed an opening, allowing Mei Changge to walk into it.
“If you tell me about the Forest race’s treasure vault, perhaps I can spare your life.’
Mei Changge looked at the Transcendent with a smile as if he was benevolent.
“Will you really spare my life if I tell you?”
The Transcendent asked Mei Changge.
While the Forest race possessed many valuable possessions, the most precious treasures were safeguarded by Shan. He was entrusted with the responsibility of protecting the treasure vault.
The Transcendent sought to acquire an opportunity for survival.
“Of course. As the lord of my territory, I give you my word.”
Mei Changge nodded gently.
“Ye Yan, take care of that!”
Mei Changge looked up at the Transcendent who was stopped by Ye Yan.
“Sure thing!”
“Fourth Elder! You—”
The foreign race halted by Ye Yan wore a look of disbelief on his face, and his tone brimmed with anger.
Regrettably, despite being aware of the existence of the Forest race’s treasure vault, he remained ignorant of its location. Ultimately, all he could do was cast an angry glare at the Fourth Elder.
“Do you think I’ll let you escape?”
Ye Yan let out a chuckle and produced several Buddha’s Rage Lotuses once more. His tone carried an air of finality as if declaring the Transcendent’s impending demise.
“Then I’ll deal with you first!”
The Transcendent grew furious. Soon after, two dark branches reached out of his hands. “Ghost Branch! Strangle!”
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
The two dark branches intersected and assailed Ye Yan, with black liquid streaming along them.
It dripped from the air to the ground and emitted white smoke as if it was poisonous.
The weeds on the ground instantly withered!
“Buddha’s Rage Lotus! Descend!”
Ye Yan’s eyes narrowed slightly. Then, a lotus flower with spiritual energy formed around his body and enveloped him.
The lotus appeared identical to the Buddha’s Fire Lotus, yet it seemed to be inscribing something.
As the lotus flower appeared, an inexplicable pressure pressed down on the two black branches. In an instant, their direction changed and they headed straight for the ground.
“Spirit Stabilizing Needle! Go!”
Ye Yan extended his palm and fired a dark blue needle.
It pierced the Transcendent’s body instantly, but he seemed unfazed as his eyes were filled with anger.
But soon, his glare began to dissipate as if they had lost their luster.
“All settled! ”
Ye Yan clapped his hands, and the lotus flower formed around him instantly vanished.
At that moment, Mei Changge did not pay attention to Ye Yan. Instead, he let the only remaining Transcendent of the foreign race lead the way.
“The treasure vault is below the patriarch’s palace.”
The Fourth Elder led Mei Changge and Xu Ding and pointed at the Forest race’s palace not far away.
That palace was within the Forest race’s territory. It was the only building different from the other.
Despite being concealed by green vines, its primary form clearly did not resemble this.
Mei Changge noticed the building beneath the vines was yellow, resembling yellow soil.
However, Mei Changge felt the fluctuation of a treasure in the palace.
It was apparent that the palace in front of him was a treasure itself.
Mei Changge followed the Transcendent to the palace.
“It’s down there!”
The Transcendent pointed at the tree under the palace and said to Mei Changge.
“This is the key to the treasure vault below.”
The Transcendent took out a green stone and said to Mei Changge.
Mei Changge turned to look at Xu Ding beside him. The latter went forward and took the green stone.
“If you try any tricks…”
Mei Changge saw Xu Ding go down with the so-called key and warned the
Transcendent.
“I-I wouldn’t dare.”
The Transcendent quickly shook his head as if he had already confirmed his identity as a captive.
“My lord, there is indeed a treasure vault below.” At that moment, Xu Ding’s voice came from below.
“Go down.”
Mei Changge looked at the foreign race and said calmly.
“0-0kay.”
Upon hearing Mei Changge’s words, the foreign race leaped down. Mei Changge held the bone spear and followed closely behind.
Upon reaching the palace’s base, he realized it was nestled close to the mountain as if it had been carved into the mountain itself.
Outside the cave, there was a massive door with the green stone embedded in it.
In the cave was the treasure vault of the Forest race.
Inside the cave, various items were placed, and Xu Ding stood there, examining one treasure after another.
“Go in and introduce the treasures to me.”
Mei Changge calmly spoke as he noticed the foreign race halting his steps.
Hearing that, the Transcendent stepped into the treasure vault.
He had hoped to seize an opportunity to escape while Mei Changge and Xu Ding were engrossed in inspecting the treasures in the vault. However, Mei Changge didn’t afford him any such opportunity at all.
“My lord, you should know about these stargate tokens.”
The Transcendent pointed at a vine shelf with the stargate tokens on it.
“As for these treasures from the stargate, I’m uncertain about their specific capabilities. ”
“This is the Burrowing Fruit stored by our Forest race.”
The Transcendent appeared to be a salesperson, introducing the merchandise. Then, he presented a Burrowing Fruit and explained it to Mei Changge.
“Alright, you can leave now.”
Mei Changge waved his hand. There was no need for him to introduce the treasures anymore.
“Really?”
The Transcendent stopped and looked at Mei Changge.
“One more word and I’ll change my mind.”
Mei Changge’s tone was calm.
“I’m leaving right away!”
The Transcendent was delighted as he walked out of the treasure vault. Mei Changge looked at Xu Ding, who instantly understood what he meant and followed behind him.
Pierce!
Without any hesitation, a blade slashed down.
“Y-You lied! ”
The Transcendent revealed a look of disbelief as if Mei Changge had gone back on his word.
“I did make a promise to you, but your Forest race should be cautious about what they eat.”
Mei Changge’s tone was calm, but one could clearly feel a hint of killing intent.
“Xu Ding, let’s go.”
Mei Changge extended his palm and hurled a ball of Nine Yang Spirit Fire at the Transcendent’s corpse. The intense heat instantly consumed the remains.
He still remembered Wan Chuan’s reminder.
Thereafter, Mei Changge placed everything from the entire treasure vault into the Blessed Land.
Be it the stargate token, treasures, or Burrowing Fruits, they were all stored in his Blessed Land for inspection after his return.
As for the treasures, he clearly sensed that most of them were in Grade 9.
Meanwhile, in the outside world, Song Yubai and Xu Chu were working together to kill the Forest race.
The red lotus formed by red pure qi kept spinning and absorbing the Forest race’s pure qi.
Xu Chu’s array resembled a meat grinder as it ruthlessly mowed down the Forest race, leaving a trail of carnage.
This was not only a war, but also a war for survival between races.
As for the Buddha Fire soldiers released by Ye Yan, they were enveloped in flames. Some of the Treants were also burned to a crisp.
Finally, the Nine Howling Wolf Cavalry, who had activated the array, continued to charge across the battlefield. As they galloped, they eliminated Forest race members one by one.
“It’s over.”
After Mei Changge came out of the treasure vault, his expression did not change much as he looked at the battle in front of him.
When he took on this path, he understood that it would inevitably be littered with numerous corpses. “My lord, I’ll step down first.’
“Go and end the battle quickly.”
Mei Changge nodded, and shortly after, Xu Ding leaped down. His Nine Howling Wolf materialized out of thin air, catching Xu Ding’s body.
“Attack!”
Xu Ding shouted, and with the wolf’s howl, the Nine Howling Wolf Cavalry below joined in as if they were welcoming their alpha.
Mei Changge looked at the palace behind him.
Using his consciousness to communicate with the Blessed Land mark, the entire palace was placed into the Blessed Land. “Boss, how’s the harvest?”
Ye Yan came out of nowhere and asked with a smile..
