The Ping Liang expert was stunned for a moment.
But he didn't stop. He lifted his leg and swept it out. Lan Qingya had already stepped forward. Her fingers were like a knife, bypassing his arms and directly striking his abdomen.
Bang!
Ping Liang felt suffocated. His surging Qi and blood stagnated in an instant. His reaction slowed down by a beat. His powerful kick also seemed to be a little stiff.
Poked the Qi valve!
The Ping Liang expert was more than 2.2 meters tall. His arms were thick and powerful, covered with a thick layer of cuticle. His whole person was like a humanoid beast.
The 1.75 meters tall Lan Qingya was considered tall among women. However, standing in front of the Ping Liang expert, the contrast was huge. Her thighs were not as thick as the Ping Liang expert's forearm. It was as if a giant was standing next to a fragile little girl.
At this time, Lan Qingya, who succeeded in her attack, burst out with even faster speed. Her hands turned into phantoms, punching the Ping Liang expert's body.
The Ping Liang expert, who was as tall as a giant, couldn't keep up with Lan Qingya's speed. He was like a large rag doll, constantly swaying with a burst of muffled punches.
Bang!
The Ping Liang expert sat on the ground, and cracks spread out like a spider web.
Lan Qingya was holding back, not against the Ping Liang expert. But if she let go, the entire venue, and even the central building, would likely collapse.
Attending the Yang City meeting, they still had to give face.
After all, they represented the Tree Shade's image. The Tree Shade had always been a civilized and friendly shelter.
The corners of the other shelter's mouth twitched.
When Lan Qingya attacked, the wind from her fists didn't leak out, and the muffled sound was not very loud. They thought it was just a 'friendly' spar.
But looking at the Ping Liang expert sitting on the ground, he was stunned and couldn't react for a long time. Dark red blood kept oozing from the corner of his mouth. No matter how they looked at it, he was seriously injured.
The other people who blocked the Ping Liang expert's way hurriedly stepped forward, bursting out their aura without reservation.
The entire conference room seemed to be blown by a strong wind. The chairs were all swaying.
But a large-scale fight did not break out.
The Yang City Lord, with a group of experts, stood between the two sides.
"All of you, stop!"
He looked at Ping Liang's people with an unfriendly expression. His Qi activity had already locked onto them from afar.
Ping Liang and the other experts were even more annoyed. They were the ones who were injured, so why were they the ones being berated?
The other shelters who tried to stop the fighting were also Ping Liang's hunters, not Tree Shade, as if everything was Ping Liang's fault.
— But they were the ones who were beaten up!
Several ordinary powerhouses wailed in their hearts, but they could only carry the injured awakened ones and walk to the side. They no longer dared to explode and could only hide in the corner.
After the Yang City Lord stopped the battle, he turned to talk to Lan Qingya, Lorraine, and the others.
The sound of laughter and the wind.
The difference in treatment caused the people in the distance to turn green and pale. They felt that they had lost their human rights.
If the person in charge of Yang City knew what Ping Liangren was thinking.
They would definitely say … What human rights do weaklings have?
Ping Liang was also a top expert at the peak of the ninth level. He was tall and had a tendency to mutate. As the leader, his strength might be a level higher than ordinary peak experts.
Even so, under the attack of the Tree Shade expert who restrained his fist power, the ordinary powerhouses still seemed powerless to resist.
From beginning to end, he only showed one characteristic:
Scum!
Scum!
You're the one who caused trouble first. It's good that you're not beaten to death.
When he thought of Ping Liang's hunter's unscrupulous aura erupting and making a mess in the conference room, he couldn't help but get angry. If it wasn't for the Lord's order to restrain himself, he would have personally thrown the hunter out.
In this case, if he doesn't target you, who else can he target?!
The Yang City Lord glanced at Ping Liang with an unfriendly expression. He knew the truth wasn't that the giant man was too weak, but the Tree Shade woman was too strong.
From beginning to end, she performed with ease, making people unable to grasp her true strength and which level she had entered.
Comparable to the top combat power?
Or even higher?
The Yang City Lord didn't know that the Ping Liang giant was one of the Ping Liang Shelter's top combat power. He also didn't know that Lan Qingya's awakening level was still a little bit away from the peak of the ninth level.
The so-called three, six and nine levels of the ninth level were the gap in martial arts proficiency and ability.
Those who were known as the top combat power mostly had special abilities that were good at fighting.
However, Lan Qingya's performance, whether it was strength or speed, was far from the ordinary peak of the ninth level.
The Yang City Lord couldn't figure it out.
Except for a few shelters like Lindong Hengcheng who had deep exchanges with the Tree Shade, the hunters from other places couldn't understand why the gap was so huge.
They looked at the leader of the Tree Shade, the brown-haired woman who hadn't made a move. They were even more afraid.
The young woman who attacked was said to be just a small leader of the intelligence department, but she was already this strong … Could it be that this Deputy Minister had broken through the boundary of the peak of the ninth level and touched the last realm of the Awakening Order?
All parties were secretly thinking.
The garbage in the conference room was quickly cleaned up, and the tables and chairs were replaced with new ones. Except for the spider web-like cracks, it was impossible to see that there had been a top-level battle here.
The transaction and other topics were quickly settled.
The meeting began to enter the main topic, exchanging and communicating about the situation of the "Cult of the End".
They hoped to locate the cult's lair and destroy it in one fell swoop!
… …
After the meeting in Yang City, Lorraine drove the Floating Chariot back to the territory first. Tang Yu quickly got the contents of the meeting.
The power of large shelters couldn't be underestimated. Perhaps they couldn't compare to the territory in terms of high-end power, but they had a lot of talents in other industries.
Although the core base of the "Cult of the End" hadn't been discovered yet, the veil of the cult was gradually unveiled.
After listening to Lorraine's report, Tang Yu frowned, "You mean, like the Pingliang Orphanage being looted, it's not an isolated case?"
Some of the larger Shelters kept a tight lid on the news, or the Evil Cult did not cause too much of a commotion, so the intelligence agents hidden in the area did not receive the news. It was not until the meeting that the various Shelters reported the attacks of the Evil Cult of Termination in their territories or the discovery of clues about the Evil Cult.
"Not only did they loot official orphanages, but they also targeted single children. There's no pattern to their targets. It's suspected that the children who were looted had higher qualifications. There were also many cases of hunters going missing in the wild, but it's not certain if it's the Cult of the End."
"In response to this point, other shelters speculated that the Cult of the End is the work of one or several Fourth Epoch powerhouses. Their purpose is to improve their own strength through blood sacrifice. With the strength of the Fourth Epoch powerhouses, they have the ability to recruit Eighth or Ninth Awakening hunters.
Another theory is that the leader of the Cult of the End had obtained a powerful secret treasure that could steal other people's innate talent and improve his own … A secret treasure that can improve one's innate talent is bound to attract many Awakened experts … This theory is valid, but it's just a guess. "
Lorraine casually swept her hair, her long brown hair was tied into a ponytail and fell on her right shoulder, making her look a little less shrewish and more charming and elegant.
When reporting, her slender legs were closed, her black leather jacket and leather pants completely outlined her graceful figure. Her delicate body leaned forward slightly as if she was a personal secretary.
Tang Yu slightly expressed his respect. He felt like he needed a few bottles of Nutri-Express to replenish his deficient body. He must be too tired from last night's cultivation.
He coughed dryly.
He thought of the spiritual confrontation with the person behind the scenes across the bridge built by the mother and child crystal balls.
The person behind the scenes might not be the cult leader, but it must be one of the higher-ups of the Cult of the End. Tang Yu could clearly feel the strength of the other party in the brief spiritual confrontation.
In terms of spiritual power, Tang Yu thought he was no worse than an ordinary Peak Awakening. This was because of his solid foundation and the advantage of paying for crystals.
But on that day, even if he chose a strategic retreat, Tang Yu had to admit that the person on the other end had stronger spiritual power than him.
No, it was far stronger than him.
The two of them relied on a medium to fight, so the input of spiritual power was limited. If it was a face-to-face battle, he would probably not be able to hold on for a few seconds before his spirit would be damaged.
If it was a modern person with a secret treasure … Tang Yu had to admit that the other party was stronger than him.
If it was someone from the Fourth Era … Peak Awakening, Half-step Transcendent, or even …
He shook his head. Even if he uncovered part of the Cult of the End's veil, he still felt mysterious.
Seeing him coming back from his contemplation, Lorraine tentatively asked, "Um, can my debt be forgiven?"
Tang Yu glanced at her, "The Deputy Minister of the Intelligence Department has a weekly salary of 3,000 spirit stones. And you still have 35,000 spirit stones in your debt. Do the math yourself."
Lorraine counted with her fingers. Based on her grades in the accelerated arithmetic class, she calculated for about ten seconds. Then, her face fell.
"My Lord!"
She pretended to be pitiful.
Tang Yu was unmoved.
Which was more important, money or beauty? Of course it's money!
He glanced at her bulging chest and thought so.
…
The Intelligence Department was in charge of the Cult of the End's affairs, assisted by the martial arts apprentices.
Tang Yu continued to be a cultivation nerd.
Every day, he would stay in the training room and research room, drinking the Fat Otaku Happy Potion (supplementary potion) and swallowing the Fat Otaku Happy Crystal (high-purity Origin Crystal). All he needed was a portion of Fat Otaku Happy Rice to complete the three-item set.
The days of staying at home always passed quickly.
On the fifth day after the Yang City Conference, the first batch of crystal corn finally ripened. Tang Yu couldn't help but eat three big bowls. That night, he couldn't finish his cultivation.
He had already reached the 12th awakening level.
Under the observation of the Eye of Insight, his daily cultivation speed increased from the original 5% to 8%. With sufficient resources, he only needed 12 to 13 days to step into the last level of the awakening order, and then touch the mountain of Transcendent.
Hunters with better qualifications, even with adequate nutrition, their daily cultivation progress was less than 1%.
Tang Yu was very satisfied with this. When Elaine and the others first cultivated, they didn't have such a good environment.
"Shay and the others in the Yangtze River Delta recently occupied a spirit stone mine. It happens to produce high-purity spirit stones with ice attributes. I'll send it to Elaine later."
The spirit stone mine, formed from the essence of heaven and earth, was far rarer than he imagined.
His territory continued to expand and explore outward. Currently, he only occupied three spirit stone mines. There was no news of other spirit stone mines. On one hand, it was indeed rare, and some shelters were hidden deep.
The territory happened to be built next to the spirit stone mine. Tang Yu could only sigh at his luck.
But it was only at that time …
Three spirit stone mines. The one in the territory produced high-purity fire-attribute spirit stones. The other one was in Tiannan Province, not far away and difficult to mine. It produced earth-attribute spirit stones. Earth-attribute spirit stones weren't very useful. None of his followers were earth-attribute. He was reluctant to give it to others for cultivation, even if he sold it at a high price.
"Maybe I can exchange it with a force that owns a spirit stone mine?"
Spirit stone mines, secret realms, and other secrets were generally well hidden as long as they weren't shared by several forces. But if he had an earth-attribute high-purity spirit stone as a stepping stone, he might be able to exchange for other types of high-purity spirit stones.
In the Yangtze River Delta area, the spirit stone mine that Shay and the others had just occupied was an ice-attribute spirit stone mine.
Tang Yu had taken the "Departure" to the Yangtze River Delta area and established a sub-territory next to the spirit stone mine. The sub-territory at Resource Point No. 1 was canceled by him. The defensive building wouldn't disappear, but it would be troublesome to repair after the damage.
With the help of the spirit stone mine and crystal corn, Elaine's retreat time to polish the bottleneck would be greatly shortened.
The Norland pushed to the front stage, the martial dao grandmaster who broke through to the Transcendent realm. There must be a lot of edible source crops and high-purity spirit stones.
Maybe there were other treasures.
"But the Norland's cultivation room shouldn't be as good as mine. Although the level of rune equipment production is far higher than the average shelter, it's not as good as the Tree Shade's production …"
These were the information Gray Blade learned in the Norland.
The production line scale has been expanding. Tang Yu intended to wait for the inventory to accumulate to a certain extent before entering the Norland's equipment market.
Using this to occupy a place in a short time.
… …
Time is like water, the palm can only hold for a moment.
In the cultivation room.
Tang Yu slowly exhaled and ended today's cultivation.
He stood up and activated the Eye of Insight. A stream of data flashed in his eyes. He looked down for a while, and the cultivation progress appeared in his eyes.
Twelve Awakening Stage 99%.
Today, he could break through the Thirteen Awakening Stage in one fell swoop!
He had been cultivating for five hours in a row. Tang Yu walked out of the No. 2 cultivation room, ready to calm down for a while, and then gather his strength to rush to the last level.
At this time, he received a contract message from Lorraine.
The location of the cult headquarters has been locked!
In the mountains more than 200 kilometers away from Yang City … In order not to alert the enemy, the major shelters decided not to go deep into the mountains to explore. Instead, they will directly gather teams to surround the mountains and destroy the cult.
The time was set for two days later.
"After staying in the house for so long, it's time to go out and exercise. Then I'll get the mother crystal ball …"
Tang Yu murmured.
Suddenly, he turned his head and sensed a familiar aura.
