Chapter 1148 Insatiable Greed
Not only the City Lord of Yaogu City, but also the other Hedan realm cultivators from the Underworld who were prepared to observe the battle, were stunned.
Unlike the spatial rifts created by Chen Yang and Wu Min.
The spatial rift before them was more like a door or a window.
When the figure in the spatial rift appeared above Yaogu City, the City Lord of Yaogu City immediately dispelled his skeletal form and said respectfully, "Prefect."
The other Hedan realm cultivators from the demon factions followed suit: "Your subordinate greets the Prefect."
Upon seeing so many people present, the Prefect of the Yaodu Mansion couldn't help but smile and say, "It's quite lively. Where are the demon hunters?"
Although the Prefect of the Yaodu Mansion hadn't asked others to participate in this matter, he usually didn't restrict his subordinate city lords from gathering.
As for the human Hedan realm cultivators, the Prefect of the Yaodu Mansion merely glanced at them.
"The Demon Hunter Venerable... after entering the chaotic space, has never come out," the City Lord of Yaogu City said nervously.
Although it was hard to believe that the Demon Hunter Venerable would die inside, there had clearly been someone intercepting people from the Demon Hunter Division within the chaotic space before.
It was very likely to be that unknown group of people around Chen Yang.
Chen Yang and the others had come out, but the Demon Hunter Venerable had not, so the situation was naturally imaginable.
Hearing this, the Prefect of the Yaodu Mansion frowned. He tore open another spatial rift with one hand, but found no trace of the Demon Hunter Venerable.
Although the space-time within the chaotic space was chaotic, if it was entered nearby, some clues could still be found.
But now...
The Prefect of the Yaodu Mansion flicked his fingers, and as his spiritual power rapidly dissipated, the trace of the Demon Hunter Venerable appeared in his mind.
"He's dead," the Prefect of the Yaodu Mansion said with slightly parted lips, the two words confirming everyone's guess.
The Prefect of the Yaodu Mansion showed no expression, no anger, no sadness, and not even a hint of shock.
It was as if the deceased was merely a person of no importance.
The Prefect of the Yaodu Mansion looked at Chen Yang and Wu Min in the distance and murmured, "It wasn't you..."
When his gaze fell upon Qin Yunlan, the Prefect of the Yaodu Mansion, who had been expressionless all along, showed a slight reaction.
"It's you!"
Instantly, everyone's eyes fell upon Qin Yunlan.
Qin Yunlan was also confused and nervous.
The person before her was the ruler of the entire Yaodu faction, and no one knew his cultivation level! www.kanshuwu.net
Was this guy targeting her?
Just as Qin Yunlan didn't know what to do, a figure stepped in front of her.
It was Chen Yang.
Chen Yang stared coldly at the Prefect of the Yaodu Mansion and said in a deep voice, "Is the Yaodu faction planning to burn its bridges?"
The Prefect of the Yaodu Mansion chuckled as if he had heard a joke, "Burn its bridges? With you humans?"
"Ten Hedan realm cultivators can be on par with the Yaodu faction? Do you think you are worthy?"
"The Yaodu Mansion controls forty-one cities in the Underworld, and its Hedan realm cultivators are several times more numerous than humans."
"Let alone your human race, even other factions have never dared to say that they could make the Yaodu Mansion burn its bridges. What a boastful statement you make!"
The voice of the Prefect of the Yaodu Mansion boomed like a bell, each word infused with powerful spiritual energy.
It stirred up genuine waves in everyone's hearts.
The Foundation Establishment realm cultivators couldn't even hear the Prefect of the Yaodu Mansion's voice clearly; they only felt their hearts pounding and their hearing was hazy.
Although Chen Yang and the other Hedan realm cultivators were not greatly affected, they understood the strength of the Prefect of the Yaodu Mansion before them.
Chen Yang inquired of Wu Min beside him with his spiritual power, "If I consume high-grade spirit stones, about how many would it take to contend with him?"
Wu Min was stunned by Chen Yang's question.
Consume?
Had this guy forgotten how bad his condition was just now?
If it weren't for Xu Qingquan risking his life to save his inner core, his inner core and body would have long turned to dust and been absorbed by the chaotic space.
However, before Wu Min could reply, the Prefect of the Yaodu Mansion spoke with unexpected surprise, "High-grade spirit stones? You can actually increase your own strength by absorbing the spiritual energy from spirit stones?"
Chen Yang was startled.
He had just used his spiritual power to transmit a message to Wu Min, and not only had it been detected by the other party, but its content had also been intercepted?
Seeing the flicker in Chen Yang's eyes, the Prefect of the Yaodu Mansion sneered, "It's just a spiritual transmission from a Hedan realm cultivator. However, for a mere first-layer Hedan realm cultivator like you to possess such spiritual power is indeed rare."
Before he finished speaking, the Prefect of the Yaodu Mansion's gaze fell on another spot, a very open area.
But in the next moment, a spatial rift quietly appeared.
A strange race appeared before everyone's eyes.
With a height of eight feet and a desolate face, at first glance, everyone would be shocked by the half-severed wings on the other's back.
Lifelike feathers adorned the wings, and their scarlet color made them seem heavily injured.
However, the person's face showed no pain at all, but a smile instead.
As the wings flapped, his figure steadily hovered outside the slowly disappearing spatial rift.
Seeing the sudden appearance of an alien, the City Lord of Yaogu City exclaimed, "Fallen Wing King!"
The Fallen Wing King paid no attention to the City Lord of Yaogu City, but looked at the Prefect of the Yaodu Mansion and smiled, "Prefect, it's been a long time. I heard you just captured a spiritual vein from the barbarian race. Congratulations!"
The Prefect of the Yaodu Mansion showed no gratitude for the Fallen Wing King's congratulations and instead let out a cold snort, "Chased away two flies, and now a moth has come."
"This is the territory of the Yaodu faction. If you have nothing else, you can scram."
The smile on the Fallen Wing King's face instantly froze.
The Fallen Wing King was the king of the Winged race, with a status comparable to the Prefect of the Yaodu Mansion.
The Winged race was also a significant power in the entire Underworld.
He had already shown such respect, yet the Prefect of the Yaodu Mansion had given him no face at all.
The Fallen Wing King's face darkened as he looked at the humans in the distance, his greed clearly visible in his eyes.
"Prefect, the Yaodu faction wants to devour the humans. Do you have such a big appetite? Aren't you afraid of choking to death?"
"I don't need the human divine abilities that appeared just now. Let's cooperate, and I can help you fend off other factions."
The Prefect of the Yaodu Mansion's eyes turned cold. He didn't want human divine abilities?
Seeing that the Prefect of the Yaodu Mansion remained silent, the Fallen Wing King's expression shifted, sensing an opportunity!
He continued, "The barbarian race had a spiritual vein stolen, and they naturally won't let it go. I heard they are currently gathering forces."
"If possible, let's join forces, kill the barbarian king, devour the entire barbarian race, and then seize two more spiritual veins. Wouldn't that be wonderful?"
While the two were talking, Chen Yang and the other humans felt an intense rage.
In the eyes of these Underworld beings, humans were merely lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
As for the divine abilities they mentioned, Chen Yang also guessed that it was likely the phenomenon Qin Yunlan had displayed earlier.
