"He, he's finally gone."
Marquis Bolton's mansion was in a mess.
The center of the mansion had already become a huge pit, and outside the pit were countless fragments of buildings. If not for the defense formation of the Marquis's mansion, which could protect the buildings and reduce the shockwave, it would not only be the center of the mansion that had become ruins.
Even so, many of the formations buried underground had been damaged.
High-end combat power.
The old Marquis was sprawled at the bottom of the pit like a dead fish.
The other three Transcendents with weak auras and less than 10% of their original combat power.
Marquis Bolton, who had the lightest injury, did not look like a human. His forehead was covered in cold sweat.
"He, he survived."
He was terrified.
After the old Marquis lost his combat power, he thought that the mysterious black-robed man was also in the explosion and should not be feeling well. But after carefully sensing, he found that the other's aura had not weakened at all.
The dark battle suit under the black robe was still intact.
The sunglasses on his face were also undamaged.
Even the black robe that had become tattered from the impact was rapidly recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye. In the blink of an eye, it was as good as new. Not even dust or blood stains were on it.
F * ck!
Even a black robe that could hide one's figure was a Transcendence divine weapon?!
Could it be that the sunglasses were also divine weapons?
The gun in the hands of the black-robed man, a long-range weapon, was undamaged in the confrontation. Instead, the old Marquis' machete was only left with half, slowly recovering... What level of divine weapon was that?!
At first, Marquis Bolton thought that the black-robed man who had hidden his appearance was sent by other aristocrats in the capital.
But now...
Which aristocrat had such terrifying strength!
He even lost the courage to attack and turned to flee, but was stopped by the black light screen. Then, he was violently beaten by the black-robed man. In desperation, Marquis Bolton had no choice but to reveal the location of several hidden treasuries in the mansion.
In order to survive.
He did not have much hope, but the two black-robed men who had plundered the treasuries had left.
In the distance.
Some of his trusted subordinates who had escaped the disaster, seeing that the battle had subsided, carefully returned to the center of the mansion. "My, my lord, what do we do now?"
"Organize the treatment of the injured and clean up the ruins. Also, tell everyone to watch their mouths. Don't leak what happened today."
Marquis Bolton looked at the sky barrier in the distance, which was gradually weakening. He had a vague guess in his heart.
This barrier … was not only used to seal off the battlefield.
Even after such a long time had passed, no one had actually approached the Marquis' Mansion to investigate. This meant that everything that had happened within the barrier was very likely unknown to the outside world!
He had also thought of reporting the matter to His Majesty, but … he had no clue as to the identity of the two mysterious men, and their strength was incomparably terrifying. Even though they had activated the formation and increased their strength by several times, they were still defeated … The other mysterious man did not even make a move!
With such strength, it was possible that he was an expert that the royal family had secretly nurtured!
Even if … the possibility wasn't high, Marquis Bolton wasn't willing to take the risk.
He didn't want to make a big deal out of this.
The dignified Marquis Mansion was heavily guarded. But now, two mysterious people had barged into it. All the Transcendents were injured, and the treasury was almost completely ransacked … If this matter were to spread, it would be Marquis Bolton's face that would be lost.
What if the mysterious man was angered and broke into the Marquis' Mansion to kill them?
Marquis Bolton felt that the mansion was no longer safe. "It seems that I should go live outside for a while. At least it's safer to hide."
… …
Until a few hours later, when the sky barrier dissipated, the Marquis Bolton's Mansion was calm, except … the door was closed, and they refused any visitors.
At this time.
The Tree Shade Base in the suburbs.
"One, two, three, four …"
The branches of the World Tree, big and small, were lined up in front of him.
A total of 13 branches.
If measured by world power, assuming that the world power unit of the branches harvested in Ghale City was 1, this batch of world power must be more than 50.
In addition, there were other materials and treasures from the Marquis Bolton's mansion.
The harvest from this trip was more than the Entertainment City's turnover in a few days.
And from the beginning to the end, it only took less than an hour.
"With the sealing barrier, the news of the Marquis's mansion being looted shouldn't reach the ears of the other nobles in a short time. But we still have to speed up."
This was also the reason why he didn't kill those aristocratic transcendents. On the one hand, they were at least human beings. In the future, they could more or less play a role in facing the mastermind behind the scenes. More importantly, killing these transcendents would inevitably cause chaos within the family. Unlike now, even if the sealing barrier disappeared, those transcendents still stayed in the mansion and restrained the guards below.
Tang Yu counted on his fingers, counting the great nobles in the capital.
There were countless Earls, Marquis, and even three Dukes.
These were all treasures!
… …
In the next few days, his followers, in groups of two, began the "World Tree branch collection plan."
Gray Blade and Shay were in a group.
Lorraine and Fanny were in a group.
Sky also rushed over from the Tree Shade and was in a group with Bamboo Rat Oguri.
The members of the Intelligence Department, who had already started making arrangements and were scattered all over the capital, presented the information that they had prepared beforehand one by one.
The strength of the nobles and the number of transcendents on the surface were roughly the same.
Even if there was a newly promoted transcendents in a certain noble mansion, it wouldn't affect the overall situation. It was just a matter of one more punch.
Sneak into the noble mansion,
Explore the location of the treasure vault,
Then use the sealing orb, release the aura, and kill all the transcendents in the mansion in one breath. This process, every group of followers were old familiar with.
In just a few days, no one knew how many noble mansions had been looted.
The capital's surface was as calm as water, but in the dark, it was treacherous.
Some nobles who often attended banquets suddenly found that the number of banquets held recently had decreased. Especially some of the big nobles' masters, who seemed to be in a hurry and didn't look good.
On this day.
Marquis Bolton received an invitation to a party. Unlike the banquets often held by the nobles, these transcendents wouldn't lower themselves to participate in the banquets of mortals.
Occasionally, there would be private gatherings, and those who were qualified to attend were all transcendents.
They could decide the fate of countless people with just a few words.
However, transcendents had a long lifespan, and there was a long interval between such gatherings. At this time, when he received the invitation, his heart moved.
That night, Marquis Bolton arrived at the venue of the party, a manor located in the outer city.
When he arrived, there were already several transcendents present. They were all members of big noble families, and they complimented each other a few words.
Ten minutes later, everyone at the party had arrived. Marquis Bolton's eyes swept across the crowd. There were ten transcendents present, representing ten families. Each family's strength was not weak. Most of the people who came were senior transcendents, but there were also three who were just ordinary transcendents. But he clearly remembered that the strength of those three families was ranked in the upper ranks of the Marquis.
There were even several senior transcendents.
How come the people attending the party were ordinary transcendents? They might not even be able to represent their families, right?
(Happy New Year's Eve, I wish everyone good health in the new year, family reunion, and everything goes well ~)
