Chapter 101: Collecting the Demon Core
"Can Death Qi corrode deadly poison?" Yang Chen said with surprise. "Let's give it a try." With that thought, he drew a trace of Death Qi from his Dantian and brought it close to the Black Barrier. Sure enough, the Death Qi corroded a small concave surface into the Black Barrier.
"Death Body!" Death Qi enveloped his entire body, turning him pale, with his eyes becoming gray and green. After that, Yang Chen flipped off the wolf and walked through the light curtain without a care.
"Hiss, hiss, hiss." Yang Chen's flesh emitted a series of hissing sounds as it came into contact with the Black Barrier. After ten seconds, having consumed 10% of his Fighting Spirit, Yang Chen passed through the Black Barrier and entered Lake City, leaving behind a human-shaped shadow on the Black Barrier that instantly collapsed afterward.
"Damn, he really is in cahoots with that shriveled old man; otherwise, how could he get in?"
"No kidding, I can see it now."
"Damn it, my Senior Brother has sided with someone else, and I didn't even know it. What an idiot Tang Guang."
"I surrender, I surrender."
"I also surrender, I surrender." Thousands of people spoke simultaneously and then threw their weapons to the ground. The Howling Moon Wolf charged in from outside the city. Yang Chen took advantage of this and mounted the wolf, saying, "I am not a bloodthirsty person; I am giving you all a chance to pledge allegiance to me. Li Qi, give each of them an Emblem; those who recognize me as their leader will be considered part of our group. Otherwise, you will be executed!"
"Yes, Leader." Ten minutes later, Yang Chen had recruited over four thousand more people, while several hundred stubborn individuals were ordered to be executed by Yang Chen. With this, Yang Chen's team had grown to ten thousand strong.
"Li Qi, go lead two thousand brothers to loot the lord's mansion; don't let anything valuable slip away."
"Yes, Leader." "Zhao Yu, you lead five thousand soldiers to pacify the people."
"Yes, Leader."
"Zhang Tian, you take the remaining brothers from Shadow Kill Camp to clean up the battlefield; leave no valuable items behind and do not touch the corpses; I have use for them."
"Yes, Leader."
"You seven—Xie Yao and Long Xin—follow me," Yang Chen commanded.
"Yes, Young Master." After Yang Chen finished speaking, he rode the wolf around, activating the Demon God state that devours living beings. The life essence and death essence in the air surged towards the Nine-Pointed Star on Yang Chen's forehead, while the corpses around began to shrivel. Xie Yao understood and destroyed the bodies. After that, Long Xin and the others also knew what to do; the eight of them immediately destroyed the shriveled corpses. Thousands of corpses filled Yang Chen's Nine-Pointed Star with immense essence. Without hesitation, Yang Chen divided it into eight portions and slowly infused them into Xie Yao and the others' bodies, while also mobilizing the Life and Death Sphere within his Dantian, converting death essence into life essence to maintain the balance between the Life Sphere and Death Sphere.
"Store it for now; we will refine it later," Yang Chen said.
"Yes, Chief." Half an hour later, you all went to take over the tasks of Li Qi, Tian Ci, Zhao Yu, and Zhang Tian, while also bringing them here. Yang Chen instructed again because these eight people could no longer store any more life essence, and the Nine-Pointed Star on his forehead was already saturated, with about one-third of the corpses remaining on the ground.
"Yes, Young Master." Twenty minutes later, the last corpse was destroyed, and Li Qi and his group had stored a large amount of life essence.
"Chief, our army has confiscated approximately 800,000 purple gold coins in enemy supplies and 300,000 purple gold coins in cash," Xie Yao reported respectfully.
"Good. Keep what is necessary; take everything unnecessary to the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce. Buy me 5,000 unicorns, 5,000 Heavenly Bows, 500,000 Zhu Ri Jians, and 1 million Armor-Piercing Arrows," Yang Chen commanded.
"Yes, Chief."
"Take this." Yang Chen tossed his purple token worth 13,000 to Xie Yao and said, "If there isn't enough money, this can advance another million purple gold coins."
"Yes, Chief."
"Li Qi, prepare a pelt from a beast above level seven for me; I want to personally forge our military flag!" Yang Chen ordered.
"Yes, Young Master." After a moment of silence, Yang Chen shouted loudly: "Shi Heng, Lin Tingting, end your battle quickly; I have a celebration for you." The four fighting in the sky immediately stopped their battle and looked down; wow, Yang Chen had already broken into his Lake City and was looting things; the city gate had long been destroyed.
"Poison Master, didn't you say that your Ten Thousand Poisons Barrier would kill anyone who touches it below Dou Zun? What about now?" Tang Guang said angrily.
"This... I don't know either," the Poison Master defended.
Shi Heng rolled his eyes and respectfully said: "Poison Master, thank you for your efforts." Before the Poison Master could react, Tang Guang angrily scolded: "Senior Brother! You are truly my good Senior Brother! Hehehe."
"I didn't! Tang Guang, don't you believe me? I kindly helped you fight against the enemy, and you actually doubt me?" The Poison Master said furiously.
"It's not about whether I doubt you or not; the facts are right before our eyes. You can't argue anymore. The most down there is just a four-star Dou Jun; how can they break through your Dou Zun's Ten Thousand Poisons Barrier? Hmph." Tang Guang analyzed: "Since you started this mess, don't blame me for retaliating. Take this!"
“Poison Master Senior, at this point, there is nothing more to say. First, kill Tang Guang, and then we will discuss the profit issue with Young Master,” Shi Heng incited.
Just as Poison Master was about to speak, Tang Guang interjected, “Sure, everyone is already thinking about dividing the spoils. Great, great.”
“Damn you! I don’t care if you die! I’m helping you out of respect for our past friendship, and you still doubt me?” Poison Food shouted angrily. “If I wanted to kill you, would I need to find someone else?” With that, he also struck out with a palm.
“Poison Master Senior, we are here to assist you. Young Master has already prepared the celebration feast downstairs, and the promised items are ready,” Shi Heng continued to incite.
“Hmph, Poison Master, even if it costs me my life today, I will peel off your skin,” Tang Guang struggled against three opponents. However, Shi Heng and Lin Tingting were both in a half-hearted state (not putting in effort, just waiting to share the rewards). The four continued to fight, but their positions had changed.
“Leader, this is the hide of an eighth-tier Demon Beast, which Tang Guang has hidden very well. This is the neck vertebra of that eighth-tier Demon Beast. However, I couldn’t find its Demon Core,” Li Qi said as he handed two items to Yang Chen.
“Good, it doesn’t matter if there’s no Demon Core. Go collect nine hundred ninety-nine first-tier white Demon Cores of the same attribute for me. And nine hundred ninety-nine first-tier black Demon Cores of the same attribute. These two types of Demon Cores must come from similar creatures,” Yang Chen instructed.
“Don’t worry, first-tier Demon Beast’s Demon Cores are quite easy to find,” Li Qi replied before leaving. Yang Chen picked up the Bone and hide of the Demon Beast and headed towards the blacksmith shop in Lake City. He rented the shop for ten Purple Gold Coins, requesting that the blacksmith not disturb him.
While he was forging the Bone and hide, Li Qi ran over and said, “Leader, here are the Demon Cores you wanted.” He then took out one thousand nine hundred ninety-eight Demon Cores.
“So fast?” Yang Chen asked. “The Wanjin Chamber of Commerce has plenty of first-tier Bloodthirsty Rabbit Demon Cores and Spectral Cat Demon Cores. They’re cheap too—one gold coin each,” Li Qi explained.
“I thought collecting similar types of Demon Cores would be difficult; it seems I was wrong. Li Qi, go collect these two types of Demon Cores, aiming for ninety-nine thousand nine hundred ninety-nine of each.”
