Chapter 351
Kill Them
While Luo Feng was exchanging items with the white-bearded old man, His Royal Highness Buluolin, the Ninth Prince of the Heilong Mountain Empire, was in another ancient house. Inside the dim ancient house, Buluolin stood there, smiling as he called out, "I want to exchange for treasures." A deep voice echoed within the ancient house, "Young man, what's the rush? One at a time. I'll attend to you after this little fellow finishes his exchange." "Hmm?" A cold glint flashed in Buluolin's eyes. "One at a time?" 'The person who came in earlier wasn't just putting on an act, but genuinely exchanging for treasures?' This thought surfaced in Buluolin's mind. He then gave a cold smile, closed his eyes, and connected his consciousness to the Virtual Universe Network. Virtual Universe, Black Dragon Mountain Island. This was a massive city, filled with undulating palaces. Among them was an inconspicuous purple palace, guarded by two attendants at its entrance. Whoosh! Inside the palace, a handsome man with fair skin suddenly appeared on the throne. It was none other than His Royal Highness Buluolin, the Ninth Prince of the Heilong Mountain Empire. Dressed in royal attire, predominantly black with golden edges, Buluolin sat high on the throne and immediately initiated a communication request to one of his nine bodyguards. All nine of his bodyguards were his slaves, fiercely loyal to him! Of course, one had already died when the castle gate was opened. Fortunately, the 'Thunder' of Thunder Castle hadn't destroyed the spatial ring, so the laser gun within that bodyguard's spatial ring remained undamaged. Whoosh! A figure materialized out of thin air in the grand hall, clad in black guard attire, with hair like green flames shooting upwards. "Your Highness," the guard said respectfully, kneeling on one knee. "Katuluo." Buluolin, looking down from his elevated position, commanded the guard, "The young man who entered Thunder Castle just before me, wearing alloy combat armor and a helmet. He possesses a considerable amount of Leiting Shi and is currently exchanging treasures with the intelligent lifeform of Thunder Castle." "What?" The guard was startled. People entered Thunder Castle from time to time, mostly to mislead others; few genuinely exchanged for treasures. "I am certain he is genuinely exchanging for treasures," Buluolin said coldly. "So, keep a close eye on him. Do you understand what I mean?" "Understood!" the guard replied respectfully. "Very good." Buluolin nodded in satisfaction, then his figure dissolved into nothingness, vanishing from the throne. Within the Realm of Realms. The white-bearded old man walked into Buluolin's ancient house. Buluolin smiled upon seeing him. "Young man, what do you wish to exchange for?" the white-bearded old man asked Buluolin. "The first layer password of the inheritance crystal ball," Buluolin said, looking at the white-bearded old man. "And another 'Life Fruit.'" A look of surprise involuntarily appeared on the white-bearded old man's face. As Buluolin was making his exchange, Luo Feng had just exited the gates of Thunder Castle. As he emerged, at least ten thousand of the two hundred thousand allied forces, scattered around and heavily besieging Thunder Castle, turned to look at Luo Feng, scrutinizing him carefully. Luo Feng remained calm. People frequently entered Thunder Castle, mostly to mislead others, so it was likely few knew he had genuinely made an exchange. "That's him." "He entered before His Highness." "Keep a close eye on him." Among the tens of thousands who looked at Luo Feng, some had specific intentions, communicating with each other via primal energy transmission. Luo Feng blended into the allied forces, wandering among the crowd for a while before finally reuniting with Hong, Lei Shen, Tienan River, and Aogu. Aogu naturally deployed a psychic barrier to prevent others from overhearing their conversation. "How did it go?" Hong and Lei Shen both looked at Luo Feng. "Everything went smoothly, just as planned," Luo Feng said with a slight smile. "One Life Fruit and two Fifth-tier weapons." Lei Shen's face lit up with surprise: "That's fantastic! One Life Fruit can allow your Moyun Teng, Sanzi, to undergo a major evolution! This way, our squad won't be as miserable in the Realm of Realms as before, having to flee whenever we encounter a larger team!" "First, invest, then reap the rewards," Hong said with a faint smile. "Lao San, do you remember what you said... that once we acquire another batch of Leiting Shi, you'll exchange for another Life Fruit for my Moyun Teng?" "Absolutely!" Luo Feng laughed. "Hmph!" Lei Shen rubbed his nose and glanced at Hong. "Don't be so optimistic. Life Fruits are good, and if Sanzi exchanged for one, others might too. There are only three Life Fruits in total. By the time we get another batch of Leiting Shi, who knows if there will be any left!" Hong, however, didn't argue with Lei Shen. After Luo Feng discussed the exchange plan with Hong and Lei Shen, both Hong and Lei Shen wholeheartedly agreed. This was because none of them had known before that a 'Life Fruit' could enable a Moyun Teng to undergo a super evolution. Even Hong said... that if the opportunity arose, his Moyun Teng would also undergo an evolution. However, Hong's Moyun Teng was inherently far inferior to Luo Feng's. Currently, Luo Feng's Moyun Teng was at Star-level Fourth-tier, while Hong's Moyun Teng had only just entered Star-level First-tier. Therefore, with the Life Fruit's incredibly pure and potent life force, Luo Feng's Moyun Teng had a greater chance of absorbing it. "Actually, the weapons we exchanged for this time will allow us to do a lot once we get out," Lei Shen said, his face beaming. "Mm," Hong nodded. "With enough wealth, there's so much more we can do," Luo Feng said, also filled with anticipation. Ice Soul Blade, Space Suppressing Cauldron. These were Fifth-tier primal energy weapons and psychic weapons! Only Realm Lords could truly unleash their full combat power. Luo Feng, Hong, and Lei Shen were only Star-level... for them, those two weapons were practically unusable. Luo Feng's use of a Fifth-tier weapon would likely not even match the power of his Duntiansuo. What's suitable is always best. Therefore... Luo Feng bought these two weapons simply to 'sell them for money'! These were Fifth-tier weapons! Selling them within the Realm of Realms would be a huge loss, but if he took them outside, he would truly strike it rich. These two Fifth-tier weapons represented an immense fortune. "I need to think about what to do with all that wealth," Lei Shen muttered. "First, eradicate the Nuolanshan family," Hong said in a low voice. "As long as the Nuolanshan family isn't destroyed, troubles will never cease." "Dealing with others is easy, but Nuolanshan himself is difficult," Luo Feng shook his head. "We can buy Cosmic-level slaves, at most 'Cosmic-level Ninth-tier.' Because that's the highest level for slaves... and Nuolanshan has earned the title of Giant Axe Warrior. A typical Cosmic-level Ninth-tier wouldn't be his match at all." "No rush, no rush. With money, things are easier," Lei Shen chuckled. "Everyone, rest first," Luo Feng whispered, "We'll wait until dark before leaving the allied forces." For Moyun Teng to evolve, it must display its maximum size to absorb as much life force as possible. Given Moyun Teng's immense size and the commotion of its evolution... it couldn't be done in this core area. "Understood, we'll leave at dark." The five of Luo Feng were quite ordinary amidst the vast allied forces. However, someone was secretly watching them. The allied forces numbered approximately 200,000. Given the habits of Star-level adventurers, it was impossible for them to be packed together like soldiers on Earth, because once a Star-level expert unleashed their speed, they could cover several kilometers in the blink of an eye. This was due to being in the Realm of Realms! So, generally, each team maintained a considerable distance from one another. Just like Luo Feng's group of five, others also casually grouped together. Larger teams, however, kept a distance of one or two kilometers from each other. Too close, and it would be difficult to manage. This distance... For Star-level adventurers, it could be seen at a glance and reached in an instant. Thus, the entire allied forces' spread covered a diameter of sixty to seventy kilometers. Meanwhile, the immensely powerful Ninth Prince Buluolin was at the core of the Heilong Mountain forces, more than thirty kilometers away from Luo Feng's position, making it impossible for Babata's scans to reach Buluolin! Furthermore, Buluolin's surroundings were signal-isolated; his equipment came from the Heilong Mountain Holy Land. Compared to Babata, there wasn't much difference. Night, the wild wind howled. Inside the tent. Buluolin sat cross-legged with his eyes closed. "Your Highness," Katuluo said respectfully. "You haven't lost track of that five-person squad, have you?" Buluolin's voice was calm. "No," Katuluo replied respectfully. "Your Highness controls twenty thousand people within the entire allied forces! With our informants placed everywhere, almost the entire allied forces are under our surveillance, and the entire allied forces only spread out for a few tens of kilometers. That five-person squad cannot possibly escape our watch." "Mm." Buluolin acknowledged, then suddenly opened his eyes, staring at Katuluo with eyes like sharp blades. Katuluo immediately bowed. "According to the joint conference of all parties, killing is prohibited within these allied forces," Buluolin said indifferently. "I also don't want to break the rules, so keep a close eye on them... The moment those five leave the allied forces' perimeter, immediately dispatch a squad to kill them and bring back all their spatial storage items. Understand?" "Yes, Your Highness," Katuluo replied respectfully. "I will arrange it immediately." "Mm, go," Buluolin said indifferently. Katuluo respectfully left the grand tent, and at that moment, a man walked in, knelt on one knee, and respectfully reported: "Your Highness, the Sixth Brigade killed six teams today, totaling approximately five thousand adventurers. They acquired approximately 2.59 million Leiting Shi." After speaking, he respectfully presented a spatial ring. "Mm, the Sixth Brigade did well," Buluolin rarely showed a smile on his face. "Tell the other brigades to work hard and seize the opportunity to acquire Leiting Shi." "Yes." The man withdrew. Inside the grand tent, Buluolin held the spatial ring, weighing it in his hand, and revealed a confident, superior smile: "Almost ten million Leiting Shi again! That should be enough to exchange for the second layer password. However, the Leiting Shi in various places is almost depleted; next, it will be a battle of mutual slaughter and plunder for Leiting Shi." To His Royal Highness Buluolin, the lofty Ninth Prince, even if all two million people died, he wouldn't care. Born into royalty. With his mother's lineage being incredibly powerful, he had witnessed too much of the law of the jungle in the universe. With a single command, the entire populations of dozens of planets could be enslaved... Such events made him consider killing those squads to seize Leiting Shi as a matter of course. As for arranging people to kill Luo Feng... Buluolin didn't care at all. That five-person squad was nothing but ants in Buluolin's eyes. He merely gave an order to have someone step on them.
