(Second Update!)
"We can investigate Yuan Lei's death in secret, but we can't make a big fuss about it. Also, we can keep an eye on the Territorial Lord. Although it's impossible for him to kill Yuan Lei, he might have something to do with Yuan Lei's death," said the purple-robed Territorial Lord.
"Yes." The two Golden Chiefs behind him nodded immediately.
Soon, these people left.
…
Northern Darkstar Territory.
With a flash of light, Jian Wushuang walked out of the spatial wormhole.
"I'm back."
Jian Wushuang exhaled softly and immediately headed toward his Territorial Lord's Mansion.
On his way to the Territorial Lord's Mansion, Jian Wushuang happened to pass by the Official Army's barracks.
He suddenly stopped in his tracks when he flew over the barracks.
"Why are there so few people?"
Jian Wushuang frowned and looked down at the barracks below.
There were ten battalions in the Official Army, and each battalion had a thousand soldiers, so there were more than ten thousand soldiers in total. However, under the coverage of Jian Wushuang's Soul Power, there were only about a thousand soldiers in the huge barracks, which was only one battalion. This was the Official Army's barracks. Usually, there would be many sergeants in the barracks even if the Official Army had a major mission to attend to, just in case.
Moreover, there should be at least three or four battalions in the barracks all year round. However, there was only one battalion here.
"Did something happen?" Jian Wushuang pondered. He immediately sped up and headed toward the Territorial Lord's Mansion.
There were no changes in the Territorial Lord's Mansion. Jian Wushuang had already landed in a manor.
"Xin 'er," Jian Wushuang called out.
"Young Master, you're back?" Xiao Tiexin was pleasantly surprised when she saw Jian Wushuang.
"I just came back. When I passed by the Official Army's barracks, I saw that there was only one battalion left. What's going on? Did something happen? "Jian Wushuang asked.
"Yes, something did happen." Xiao Tiexin nodded and immediately explained, "It's like this. A year ago, a Blood Gem mineral vein was discovered in the Star Fire Wilderness under the Northern Darkstar Territory. When Commander Cang Heng received the news, he immediately led two Official Army Battalions and rushed over. Who would have thought that the mineral vein had already been taken by someone else when they arrived?"
"Taken by someone else?" Jian Wushuang was surprised.
In the Northern Darkstar Territory, the Official Army could sweep everything away. Who dared to snatch the mineral vein from them?
"It's the Green Flame Star Territory. The Green Flame Star Territory is right next to our Northern Darkstar Territory and the Star Fire Wilderness happens to be at the border between our Northern Darkstar Territory and the Green Flame Star Territory. When the news of the Blood Gem mineral vein spread out, the Green Flame Territorial Lord received the news even faster than we did. The Official Army of the Green Flame Star Territory had also set off ahead of time. When Commander Cang Heng arrived, the Blood Gem mineral vein had already been occupied by the Official Army of the Green Flame Star Territory."
"Commander Cang Heng and the others were naturally unconvinced and came forward to argue. They even fought in the end. The Official Army of both sides were evenly matched. However, the Green Flame Territorial Lord personally came forward. The Green Flame Territorial Lord is the strongest Territorial Lord in our neighboring star territories. He's a Peak Earth Ultimate God. With him personally taking action, Commander Cang Heng was at an absolute disadvantage.
"In the end, Commander Cang Heng had no choice but to mobilize nine armies and rush over. He barely managed to compete with the Green Flame Star Territory by relying on the number of Official Army soldiers. Currently, the Blood Gem mineral vein seems to be split evenly between our Northern Darkstar Territory and the Green Flame Star Territory. They're both mining there," said Xiao Tiexin.
"Is that so?" Jian Wushuang's face slightly darkened.
He had also heard of the Blood Gem before. It was an extremely high-level material for refining weapons.
The Blood Gem was mostly used to refine Heavenly Treasures with only a small amount being used to refine Pinnacle Earth Treasures.
Under normal circumstances, about 10,000 catties of Blood Gem should be enough to refine Heavenly Treasures. A complete Blood Gem mineral vein would contain at least tens of millions of catties of Blood Gem.
The mineral vein's value was naturally very shocking.
"No matter what, the mineral vein was discovered in our Northern Darkstar Territory. How dare the Green Flame Territorial Lord bring his Official Army into our territory? Haha, isn't he looking down on me?" Jian Wushuang sneered.
However, he also knew that the Green Flame Territorial Lord was a Peak Earth Ultimate God after all. As for himself … Before he left the Northern Darkstar Territory, the only thing the outside world knew about him was that he killed San Shouwang. The combat strength he displayed at that time was at the High-level Earth Ultimate God level at most.
It was normal for the Green Flame Territorial Lord to look down on him.
"Xin 'er, you stay here. I'll make a trip to the Star Fire Wilderness," said Jian Wushuang.
"Master, be careful. The Green Flame Territorial Lord is a Peak Earth Ultimate God after all," reminded Xiao Tiexin.
"Haha, I know." Jian Wushuang smiled faintly but did not take it seriously.
What a joke! He could even kill a Heaven Ultimate God head-on. Why would he care about a mere Peak Earth Ultimate God?
The Star Fire Wilderness was an ordinary wilderness at the edge of the Northern Darkstar Territory.
However, an extremely valuable Blood Gem mineral vein had been discovered in such a desolate region. Even the Green Flame Territorial Lord had not hesitated to step out of his territory to fight for it. The Blood Gem mineral vein had been discovered in a continuous mountain range.
The mountain range was extremely huge and so was the entire Blood Gem mineral vein.
There was a campsite on both sides of the mountain range where the mineral vein was located. Many Official Army Commanders of the Northern Darkstar Territory gathered in one of the campsites.
"It's too big. This Blood Gem mineral vein is too big!" Cang Heng sat there and exclaimed, "The mineral vein we're occupying is only 40% of the entire mineral vein. Even with this 40% of the mineral vein, the Blood Gems that have been discovered underground are estimated to be more than one billion catties or even more than that!"
"Blood Gems can be used to refine Heavenly Treasures. The Blood Gems are also very valuable on the market. One catty of Blood Gems costs ten Primordial Stones. One billion catties of Blood Gems are worth more than ten billion Primordial Stones!"
"Oh my god!"
The other commanders in the surroundings were all dumbfounded.
A million Primordial Stones was already an astronomical figure for those commanders who were only Peak Ultimate Gods. Ten billion Primordial Stones? It was unimaginable.
Moreover, the ten billion Primordial Stones were only a part of the Blood Gem mineral vein. The value of the entire mineral vein was far more than that.
