Chapter 402: Treasury
Main City!
Compared to the county town, this place was countless times larger and prosperous to the extreme.
Even near the city gate, there were towering skyscrapers, large supermarkets, and commercial streets, making Li Feng almost mistake it for a return to Sky Blue Star.
“Unfortunately, this is not home after all.” Li Feng shook his head, and his divine sense spread out.
Around him, the conversations of some residents continuously entered his ears.
Most people were chatting about trivial matters in their daily lives, but it was enough for him to quickly understand the situation in this main city.
He filtered out some useful information and kept it in mind for his next move.
“There’s an internet cafe here too?” As he listened, Li Feng was stunned.
Then, he found the nearest internet cafe, started searching for information, and combined with what he had just heard, he quickly grasped the layout of the city.
Everything was going unexpectedly smoothly.
“The area within ten miles of the City Lord’s residence is a forbidden zone!” Li Feng looked at the map on the screen, his face showing a grave expression.
It was only simply marked with three words, City Lord’s District, without any specific information.
But he was not surprised. As the City Lord of the main city, it was normal to have strict security.
At the same time, he also found a lot of unexpected information online.
The King’s Ruins world was not as stable as he had imagined. From time to time, rebel forces would emerge, trying to rise up and overthrow the rule of God Emperor Borodin.
However, these forces were often quickly suppressed and did not cause much of a stir. Relatively speaking, the God Emperor’s position was very stable.
But the City Lords of the various main cities were relatively more vulnerable.
Finally, Li Feng gathered information about the City Lord from various sources, but there was very little useful information, only that the City Lord was a powerful but overly cautious female knight.
This made him feel a headache and also a little surprised. The proportion of female knights in this world was very low, and it was even rarer to become an outstanding one among them.
Li Feng did not expect that the City Lord of this main city was actually a female knight.
After coming out of the internet cafe, he walked towards the City Lord’s District.
But when he was about fifteen miles away from the City Lord’s District, he encountered the main city’s patrol knight squad. They were all wearing black armor with exquisite patterns carved on it.
Each knight held a long spear with a cold gleam at the tip. A squad consisted of seven people, and the lowest cultivation among them was Half-Step Source Realm.
“Outsiders, do not approach here.”
Li Feng was warned by a Knight-Captain. He quickly apologized and then turned to leave, like a passerby who had strayed into the area.
“Captain, is it necessary to be so cautious? This is the main city, and there is a divine artifact suppressing it from above. I can’t imagine any thief having such great courage to dare to break into the City Lord’s District!” A knight saw the captain driving Li Feng away and said with a light smile.
“Feli!”
The Knight-Captain frowned and sternly called out his name, saying, “If it were normal times, it would not be necessary to be so cautious. But now it is not stable. God Emperor is about to break through, and there are rebels making trouble everywhere. Yesterday, a villain killed many of our main city’s experts and also destroyed the divine mine. We cannot afford to be careless.”
Feli’s face froze, and he muttered, “What’s there to be afraid of? It’s just a villain, and he only dares to make trouble outside. If he dares to step into the main city, he will be killed directly.”
The Knight-Captain shook his head, feeling a little helpless, but he did not say anything more.
Indeed, the main city had a divine artifact guarding it. Once the City Lord activated the divine artifact, her strength would increase several times, and she could easily kill knights who had Ignited Divine Fire.
Ordinary people really did not dare to step into the main city!
…
…
Night fell.
But the sky was as bright as day.
This made Li Feng’s night attack plan directly fail.
He looked up at God Emperor Borodin. At this time, his body was full of obscure runes, like halos, surrounding him, and the light was dazzling, as if something was condensing.
This made Li Feng’s heart sink. He understood that God Emperor Borodin was preparing to condense his divine core.
He had accumulated for so long this time, and the divine core he condensed would definitely be extraordinary. He had to stop him and not let this great enemy succeed.
Li Feng took a deep breath and looked towards the City Lord’s District.
He could not wait any longer. God Emperor Borodin’s strength was changing every day. Even if he was successfully interrupted, his strength should not be underestimated, and it would be a difficult battle.
Thinking of this.
Li Feng directly moved and advanced towards the City Lord’s District.
When he was about twenty miles away, he used his 【Spatial Molecules】 ability in advance, turning himself into particles and sneaking towards the City Lord’s District.
If it were at night, this talent ability combined with the Dark Kingdom would have a better sneaking effect, but now, Li Feng had no choice.
Moving forward.
Soon, Li Feng crossed the fifteen-mile zone. Along the way, he also saw the knights patrolling during the day, but they did not discover him.
This made Li Feng breathe a sigh of relief. Otherwise, facing a Source Realm expert who had Ignited Divine Fire and controlled a divine artifact, he would also feel a headache.
Especially, the power of the divine artifact might alarm Borodin in the sky, which was the last thing he wanted to see.
He had already wasted so many days. If he could not get a large number of Divine Crystals, then he would suffer a great loss. He might as well have a decisive battle earlier!
Twelve miles.
Eleven miles.
Ten miles.
“…”
This was the range of the City Lord’s District displayed on the map. Li Feng entered without any danger, much smoother than expected.
His divine sense unfolded, like an invisible sheet, covering the City Lord’s District, probing the situation inside.
…
…
“Found it, the treasury!”
Suddenly, Li Feng’s whole body shook, and he sensed a hidden area where the energy was several times denser than other places!
He directly sneaked towards that place.
Very quickly.
Li Feng arrived dozens of meters away from the treasury. He saw that there were five people guarding the treasury.
Four of them were Source Realm knights, and one was a half-step Ignite Divine Fire Realm expert.
They firmly guarded the gate, and there were also profound runes on the treasury gate, a layer of barrier, guarding the treasury, not even air could flow in.
Li Feng frowned slightly. Sneaking in could only go so far. If he wanted to enter the treasury, he had to make a move.
◈◈◈
The next moment, he decisively took action.
A dark shadow moved on the ground, like a small snake crawling forward, using the shadows of the buildings to hide. The several knights did not notice any abnormality.
Although this was the location of the treasury, the several people were very relaxed.
Because this was inside the City Lord’s District, they were confident that no enemy could arrive here silently.
Boom!
Suddenly, a large curtain rose, like the Dark Kingdom descending, shrouding this area.
“Who?”
At this time, the several knights noticed something was wrong and shouted in anger, but the sound could not be transmitted out of the Darkness Domain. A vast, world-like, invisible pressure fell. The bones of their whole bodies made explosive sounds, as if they had been crushed by a millstone. Their skin cracked, and blood flowed out.
This was Li Feng making his move. The Eternal God Soul and Eternal Divine Body were activated at the same time. Countless runes flew out from his body, sweeping out, suppressing everything!
Chichi!
Several sword lights pierced through, like divine lights. Five heads flew high, and blood spurted hundreds of meters high. One of the sword lights, like an arrow, crashed into the treasury gate. Brilliant light bloomed, and the runes instantly dimmed.
With a boom, the ground shook, and the gate shattered.
All of this happened in the darkness. If someone were outside, they would find that the light here had dimmed a lot, but other than that, everything was very calm.
No one knew that five people had died here, and one of them was a half-step Ignite Divine Fire Realm knight. Otherwise, it would shake the entire main city.
Before Li Feng could rush into the treasury, an astonishing energy tide rushed out, like an ocean. White mist filled the surroundings, and the energy was so dense that it was about to turn into water.
Li Feng was glad that he did not put away the Dark Kingdom. Otherwise, such a huge amount of energy would definitely alarm the surroundings.
He walked into the treasury. On the ground were piled Divine Crystals the size of human heads, like small mountains, shining brightly.
“How can there be so many Divine Crystals?” Li Feng was shocked and his face showed ecstasy.
Now Borodin devoured a large number of Divine Crystals every day to transform. He originally thought that there would not be many in the treasury, but he did not expect that there were several mountains of Divine Crystals here, just placed there, full of temptation.
He was not polite and directly put away all the Divine Crystals. In the treasury, there were not only Divine Crystals but also various weapons, all emitting astonishing energy fluctuations, with runes hovering, looking very extraordinary.
But there were very few such weapons, only four, hanging in the air, with astonishing killing intent.
After a while, this treasury was emptied by Li Feng. What made him feel a little strange was that, except for the Divine Crystals, there were very few other treasures, or even none.
Li Feng did not think deeply, turned around, and left the treasury. Staying here for one more minute would increase the possibility of being discovered.
At the same time, the Divine Crystals he had collected were burning in his sea of consciousness. Most of the energy was absorbed by something deep inside, and a small part of the energy was constantly washing his body, increasing his physical strength.
Li Feng felt comfortable all over. His skin was shining, and golden runes were dancing on every inch of his skin.
He felt that the Eternal Divine Body had made great progress.
This time, the Divine Crystals he had harvested were too many, more than ten times what he had obtained in the giant divine mine.
“Hmm!”
Li Feng had just walked out of the treasury gate when his footsteps stopped. In front of him, a figure stood there, blocking his way.
It was a female knight with a beautiful appearance and long, straight black hair like a waterfall.
She was wearing a beige coat, a pure white shirt inside, and blue jeans that showed off her long legs perfectly.
At her waist, she wore a cyan longsword, and a Seven-Colored River was swirling around her.
“City Lord Mohe!”
Li Feng’s heart skipped a beat. The Seven-Colored River was the divine artifact that guarded the main city. The identity of this female knight was obvious. It was the City Lord of the main city.
“If I’m not mistaken, you should be the villain from the county town. You are so bold. You not only destroyed the divine mine, killed my subordinates, but also broke into the treasury to steal treasures. These crimes are enough to make you die tens of thousands of times.”
City Lord Mohe spoke faintly, her voice very cold.
Li Feng’s face gradually became serious. He thought that things could not be resolved peacefully and was about to make a move when he heard the other party say, “Aren’t you afraid of Borodin’s punishment?”
Li Feng was stunned. The other party actually called Borodin by his name directly. This was almost impossible in the King’s Ruins world.
Soon, he thought of the abnormality of the treasury and the rebel information he had searched online. He had an idea and responded, “What’s there to be afraid of? He is not even a god, and he is not enough to make me fear. Besides, he may not be my opponent.”
City Lord Mohe was noncommittal. Although Borodin was not yet a god, he could be compared to a god, and his breakthrough was a sure thing.
She thought Li Feng was lying and sneered, “You don’t even need to draft your lies.”
“Believe it or not.” Li Feng shrugged and said, “Did you come to intercept me?”
“Naturally.” City Lord Mohe was a little upset seeing Li Feng’s calm appearance.
“As a rebel, such a decision is not wise.” Li Feng smiled slightly.
This made City Lord Mohe’s heart tremble, her face showed shock, and her eyes gradually became unkind, and she said in a deep voice, “How did you find out?”
She was a little flustered, not understanding how Li Feng guessed her identity.
“When you found me stealing, you should have gathered a large number of people to surround and kill me, instead of coming alone. But so far, there is still no movement around. This is simply unreasonable. You should not want people to know about what happened here.” Li Feng said calmly.
“Couldn’t it be that I am confident that I can kill you alone?” City Lord Mohe heard his analysis, calmed down at this time, and retorted.
“I know you can control the divine artifact, and I still dare to break in, which proves that I have the strength to face you. It is rumored that you are a powerful but overly cautious person, and you will not risk yourself.” Li Feng said.
“What a smart person.” City Lord Mohe was a little surprised, and then sneered, “Then you should also think that what you are doing now will definitely be dealt with. After Borodin breaks through, it will be your death date.”
Although there are rebels making trouble everywhere now, they are just clowns. As long as Borodin successfully breaks through, everything will be settled, and the rebels will not dare to show their heads.
“He will never have a chance to break through in this lifetime!” Li Feng’s tone was full of confidence.
Before long, he would take the initiative to kill Borodin and naturally would not give the other party a chance to break through.
“Hehe!” City Lord Mohe sneered, not believing Li Feng’s words at all, but she didn’t say anything more, but made way for him.
She really hated Borodin in her heart, because the other party killed her grandfather. She hid her name and buried this hatred in the deepest part of her heart. She approached the center of power step by step, just to get close to Borodin and find a chance to kill him.
Just as she was about to succeed, she didn’t expect Borodin to suddenly choose to retreat. Now he was close to the breakthrough point, which made her feel desperate.
If he really succeeded, she would never have the hope of revenge in her life, and she might not even live until the day he died.
As for Li Feng, this little thief, she never took him seriously. The Divine Crystals he stole were also Borodin’s property. Instead of using them to fund Borodin, it was better to let Li Feng take them. This was also a kind of revenge against Borodin.
Li Feng saw this and breathed a sigh of relief. It would be best if he didn’t have to fight.
