Chapter 295 So Many Treasures, They Collapsed the House
In a certain place beneath the land of Jiuzhou, inside a blood-colored great hall, hundreds of Blood Robed Men gathered.
The Blood Robed Man seated at the highest spot in the great hall spoke in a chilling voice, "Two 'rats' on the surface are dead, and we've lost two Blood Ponds. We might have been exposed. What do you all think we should do now?"
"Your Excellency the Envoy, the old Martial God of the Empire has left. Whether he has ascended or died during ascension, it is good news for us. I believe we can initiate our plan to overturn Jiuzhou and save our master ahead of schedule," a Blood Robed Man said.
"I also agree to start ahead of schedule."
More than half of the Blood Robed Men began to voice their agreement.
"Start ahead of schedule? But we haven't completely infiltrated Jiuzhou. Plus, with the loss of the Blood Ponds in Cangzhou and Desolate State, we would have to pass through numerous State Seas, which would take a long time. At this moment, the only forces we can mobilize in a short period are those in Demon State and Fire State. If we initiate the plan now, Central State could at least rally the forces of Lanzhou, Desolate State, and itself - three states against us, and we have no odds of winning. If Longzhou and Cloud State join hands with Central State, our defeat is certain." Another Blood Robed Man raised doubts.
"Indeed, initiating the plan now is not a wise move," a smaller group of Blood Robed Men disagreed with starting the plan early, and the two sides argued endlessly.
"Quiet!"
After pondering for a moment, the Blood Demon Envoy seated at the highest spot said, "Let Demon State take action ahead of time to draw their attention there. Make sure those in Fire State stay hidden without any slip-ups. Some of you go to Cangzhou and Desolate State and take the Blood Puppets there to Fire State. The rest of you infiltrate Cloud State as quickly as possible. As for Longzhou, among the three golden lights that descended from the sky, there is a whiff of a familiar aura. I will go to confirm it myself. Also, dispatch more men to
"My name is Jin Hong, I have seen the Village Chief."
Jin Hong saluted the Village Chief, his heart slightly surprised—could it be that even in this small village there was a Martial Emperor?
But considering the dense spiritual energy here, and that it was the place where that elder resided in seclusion, it wasn't strange for a Martial Emperor to emerge.
"There's no need for formalities. Once you're in Big Stone Village, treat it like your own home. I'll have someone arrange a courtyard for you later; from now on, you're one of us." The Village Chief said with a smile.
"Thank you, Village Chief."
Jin Hong expressed his gratitude.
The Village Chief, still holding Chu Xin and Chen'er, sat down by a stone table in the courtyard and asked with a smile, "You two little ones, have you gained anything from sneaking out this time?"
He was naturally asking about the search for their mother, but the two children obviously misunderstood and excitedly said, "We got a lot of things."
With that, the two little ones waved their hands, and all manner of cultivation methods, magic artifacts, elixirs, spiritual medicines, and so on were taken out from the Sumeru Ring, completely inundating the Village Chief's courtyard.
Not only that, but as more items kept spilling out, they covered an area as large as a dozen courtyards before finally stopping.
Moreover, this was only part of what they treasured in their rings, having not taken everything out; otherwise, the entire village wouldn't be able to contain it all.
After all, these were the spoils from ransacking three State Mansions and five Holy Lands.
"Ah! I'm suffocating."
At the top of the pile, the cultivation methods shifted, and four little heads—two big and two small—popped out from the mountain of treasures, with their bodies still buried.
Chen'er scratched his bun hairstyle and muttered in a low voice, "Sis, did we take out too much?"
Chu Xin slapped the back of his head, scolding, "Who told you to take out so much? You've even collapsed the Village Chief's house."
Chen'er muttered aggrievedly, "You took out even more than I did."
Chu Xin turned to look at the Village Chief and said with embarrassment, "Grandpa Village Chief, I'm sorry, we've collapsed your house."
However, the Village Chief didn't hear her; at the moment, he and Jin Hong were both staring, dumbfounded, at the mountainous pile of treasures.
