Chapter 130: Emptying the Treasury, Kill!

Lingxu's move left Hai Dafu not knowing what to say; through the battle just now, he had already determined that his side was simply no match.

He had known that a Title Douluo was formidable, but he hadn't expected them to be so formidable that they would be left with no power to fight back.

Even the deadly poison of this Styx Jellyfish had not the slightest effect.

The gap was simply too vast.

Thinking of this, Hai Dafu weighed things in his heart: should he take a gamble?

"My lord, you may take anything you like, as long as your Soul Guidance Device can hold it, it is all fine," said Hai Dafu.

As for his treasury collection, even fifty cubic meters of space might not be enough to hold it all; an ordinary person's Soul Guidance Device simply didn't have that much space.

But he had guessed wrong; although the Soul Guidance Device Lingxu showed to the outside world didn't have that much space, he still had the System Space on him, and a million cubic meters was no joke.

He could even fit the entire imperial treasury inside.

"Lead the way!" said Lingxu.

"After you, my lord!" Hai Dafu and his wife had completely changed their tune, but Lingxu always felt there was some conspiracy here.

But let it be a conspiracy; Lingxu wanted to go and take a look, at least before killing these two, he had to obtain some benefits first.

It was not very far from the hotel to the City Lord's Mansion, just a half-hour journey.

Entering the massive castle, the decor was luxurious and imposing, even making Lingxu feel it was somewhat extravagant.

"My lord, please follow me."

Lingxu nodded. Hai Dafu kept leading the way in front, passing through one corridor after another, until finally arriving before a stone wall.

Hai Dafu triggered a mechanism, and a door a full half-meter thick opened.

"My lord, this is the treasury of my City Lord's Mansion; the most precious things are all kept inside here."

Hai Dafu and Lingxu entered together. The lights were turned on; this was a space of at least two hundred square meters, with rows of shelves arranged neatly.

There were dozens of chests filled with Gold Soul Coins, their golden luster particularly eye-catching.

Wasn't the item auctioned earlier a five-thousand-year Whale Glue? Inside this treasury, there were several thousand-year Whale Glues, and even a ten-thousand-year Whale Glue.

Besides that, there were ten-thousand-year medicinal herbs.

All kinds of rare sea goods were available in abundance.

For example, pearls the size of fists, and so on.

"My lord, please take your time looking!" said Hai Dafu.

Watching Lingxu's focused gaze, Hai Dafu looked left and right, his heart constantly wavering over whether to implement that plan.

One possibility was to eliminate this Title Douluo before him, and the other possibility was to be eliminated by him.

There was only one chance. He glanced at his wife at the treasury entrance, who also nodded at him.

Hai Dafu finally made his decision.

While Lingxu was focused on looking at these treasures, he quietly retreated, and only a booming sound was heard.

The treasury door began to close!

Hai Dafu said, "No matter how capable you are, you cannot break the defenses of my treasury."

As soon as he finished speaking, with a boom, the door closed.

"Brother Fu, we spent five years building this treasury; the walls are at least half a meter of steel on all sides, including special materials from the deep sea; even we cannot break through the defense."

"Even a Title Douluo will be trapped inside and starved to death."

"Besides, I have already ordered my two trusted aides to take Qing'er and hide for now. If we trap this guy inside, that's that; if he comes out, we likely won't survive either."

"But we don't need to worry about our son; my aides are one hundred percent loyal to me, and I left behind a million Gold Soul Coins, which will definitely be enough to take good care of Qing'er."

Hai Dafu nodded and said, "You are always thorough in your actions, my dear. Good, there is food inside the treasury, but even if he eats it all, he can last at most a month or two, and even if he usually carries a lot of dry rations and water in his Soul Guidance Device, he can support himself for half a year at most."

"Then we won't open this treasury for a year; three years is also fine," said Hai Dafu.

From the outside, they had already disabled the mechanism to open the treasury from the inside.

"Our people investigated and found that they have a group staying at a hotel; send people immediately to capture them all and avenge Qing'er," said Hai Dafu.

At the same time, Lingxu also realized he had been locked in the treasury by them.

Treasuries are generally built quite sturdily, and it would certainly be extremely difficult to open from either the outside or the inside.

The other party dared to trap him inside in such a way, so they must have had great confidence in the treasury's defenses.

He was not in such a hurry to break out of this room.

Instead, he first looked at this mountain of good things; perhaps these were things the City Lord had extorted over several decades.

Hanhai City was not small; it could compare to the kingdoms and duchies of the Heaven Dou Empire.

He activated the System Space, and with the attitude of not leaving a single thing behind, he loaded everything in this two-hundred-square-meter space into the System Space in just a few minutes.

It occupied at least over three hundred cubic meters of the System Space; no wonder the other party dared to say things about filling up a Soul Guidance Device.

Looking at the empty treasury, Lingxu moved, channeled his soul power, and punched the door.

A huge booming sound was heard.

This punch was something even a Spirit Douluo would find hard to withstand, but after the attack, not even much of a mark was left.

Then came two more consecutive punches, still without any effect.

Outside, Hai Dafu and his wife also heard a sound.

"Don't worry, there's absolutely no problem."

How could a Title Douluo have such a powerful attack?

Inside the treasury, Lingxu took out the Xuantie Sword, which could cut through iron like mud.

Clang, clang—a few strikes fell, and sparks flew everywhere.

The Xuantie Sword, which could cut through iron like mud, actually had no effect at all, or rather, it left a slight mark, yet the blade of the Xuantie Sword had become somewhat dull.

One had to admit, the construction of this secret chamber was excellent.

It is capable of trapping an ordinary Title Douluo inside.

And just at this moment, Lingxu discovered that the two ventilation ducts of the treasury had been blocked by someone.

This was not only to trap him inside to die, but also to suffocate him to death within.

Truly, human greed knows no bounds; if one truly lacked strength, it would be the end.

There is no time to delay any further.

These people might be about to make a move against Liu'er and the others, so Lingxu's spirit rings began to manifest, and this time, Lingxu brought out the Dark Demon Evil God Spear.

The spirit rings on his body lit up; the Dark Demon Evil God Spear now had two spirit rings, and Lingxu used one of his second spirit ring skills.

Only to see the Dark Demon Evil God Spear shine with brilliant light, and with one thrust, it landed on the door.

A loud, deafening boom erupted.

A massive force rebounded, and Lingxu even felt his arm go a bit numb.

It felt as if the entire treasury was trembling.

A dent appeared on this door.

In the center, the attack from this strike of Lingxu's directly pierced through it, creating a hole the size of a fist.

And on the other side of the hole, Lingxu only heard a scream ring out.

As luck would have it, this attack passed through the door and actually pierced the chest of the wife of the Hanhai City Lord, Hai Dafu.

Completely pierced through; with such an injury, even if there were a healing Spirit Master, it would likely be beyond saving.

A hundred-thousand-year skill, it truly is not bad.

However, the defense of this door is indeed very sturdy, the materials are excellent, and it is the premier choice for building a secret chamber.

"Impossible, it broke just like that? Wife, are you alright? Quickly go call a healing Spirit Master," Hai Dafu said in surprise.

He remembered that when this was being built, the craftsmen claimed that even a Title Douluo could not break it, yet now, the other party broke it so easily?

Swish...

The next instant, one could see streaks of sword light flashing by.

The entire door was sliced open.

One must know, Lingxu possesses a soul bone skill of over two hundred thousand years.

The cutting ability of the Golden Twin Swords is already extremely formidable.

Bang...

An opening one point five meters high and about fifty centimeters wide was opened in the middle of the door.

Lingxu walked out from here, looked at Hai Dafu, and said indifferently: "Wanting to trap me is not that easy."

Hai Dafu looked at Lingxu and said: "Sir, you are mistaken. I did not want to trap you; I only wanted you to choose properly."

Swish...

A head fell from Hai Dafu's neck, and Lingxu whispered: "I'm supposed to believe your words? Do you take me for a fool?"

Two Spirit Douluo had thus met their end.

Lingxu retrieved two Soul Guidance Devices from their bodies, then leaped up and quickly headed toward the hotel.

Just as Lingxu arrived, Hai Dafu's men also arrived almost simultaneously.

Lingxu did not hold back now; the Golden Sword is the best way to kill, coupled with Lingxu's movement technique and speed that are a step ahead of others.

Two Soul Saints and over a dozen Soul Emperors and Soul Kings all perished.

Even a mosquito is meat no matter how small; Lingxu still collected all their Soul Guidance Devices, intending to sort through them when he had spare time.

Lingxu glanced upstairs and said: "Everyone, get some good rest."

Afterwards, Lingxu released his Mental Power and quickly found the people at the Spirit Hall branch, sending a voice transmission for them to come over.

With such a major operation at the City Lord's Mansion tonight, the people of the Spirit Hall had long been prepared.

Moreover, there were also people from the Spirit Hall monitoring this place.

Under Lingxu's order, dozens of people from the Spirit Hall were all rushing here.

After all, one could tell from the tone that the person sending the voice transmission was not simple, so Kevin, the Hall Master of the Hanhai City Spirit Hall branch, came quickly.

Entering the hotel, he saw corpses all over the floor, and among them were people he usually recognized.

After all, there are not that many Soul Saints in Hanhai City, and he knew most of them.

"May I ask who you are, Excellency?" Kevin looked at Lingxu and asked tentatively.

Lingxu directly took out the token of a Spirit Hall Elder.

Upon seeing it, Kevin immediately knelt down.

"Greetings, Elder! I am Kevin, Hall Master of the Hanhai City Spirit Hall branch, a seventy-sixth-level Soul Saint; this is Vice Hall Master Zhaolong, a seventy-second-level Soul Saint!" Kevin immediately knelt down.

No wonder he could kill so many experts; a Spirit Hall Elder is at least a Hunshiliujiji existence, a top-tier powerhouse of this world.

Lingxu said: "Get up. Order people to clean this place up. Also, I have already dealt with the two Spirit Douluo of the City Lord; now you can try to take control of Hanhai City, or support a new City Lord."

"The status of our Spirit Hall must not be low," Lingxu said.

"Thank you, Sir!"

"I will go arrange it immediately."

Lingxu nodded and said: "Both of you go; just leave a few people here to clean up."

"It would be best if I can see the results by tomorrow morning."

Kevin nodded and said: "Elder, it will definitely be done by tomorrow morning."

The people from the Spirit Hall left, and Lingxu could finally get some good rest.

In fact, Lingxu discovered that he seemed to have a shortcut to Sea God Island.

When he was around eight years old, the Spirit Hall had attacked Sea God Island, and most likely, they had set off from this Hanhai City.

Then, this Hall Master of the Spirit Hall, Kevin, likely also has a way to send them to Sea God Island.

Although he already had a Super Dragon Abyss Boat, he had no experience with sailing on the sea or reading a Sea Map, so he might end up taking many detours.

Why not let this Kevin send someone?

Glancing at the few people remaining, Lingxu did not speak and walked straight up.

At the same time, the owner of this hotel finally came out.

"My lord, welcome to our hotel!"

"My lord, do you need to change to a better room? We have higher-spec rooms and services here."

The person before him was someone his hotel owner could not afford to offend; he had basically heard the conversation outside just now, and how could one not take seriously someone who killed the City Lord and so many experts?

Lingxu said: "No need, keep it as it is, do not disturb our rest."

"Well, today I destroyed some of your hotel's facilities; estimate how many Gold Soul Coins it will cost, and I will reimburse you tomorrow," Lingxu said.

Originally, this matter should have been paid for by the City Lord's Mansion, but the treasury was already on his person.

Destroying so many things could be considered an unprovoked disaster he brought upon them, so giving some Gold Soul Coins was only right.

"No, no, my lord, it is our honor that you grace our hotel with your presence; you do not need to reimburse any Gold Soul Coins, I will have it repaired."

This owner was also a Spirit Master, and being able to open such a large hotel, he naturally had some strength.

However, his soul power was not particularly high, only level fifty-three.

Lingxu took out a Space Soul Guidance Device from a Soul King he had killed and threw it over.

"Then take this; whether it is more or less, it is yours," Lingxu said.

Now the owner no longer declined, as declining further would be inappropriate, "Thank you, my lord! You may stay at this establishment for as long as you like, and we will provide you with the highest standards for everything."

Lingxu did not reply and walked straight back to hotel room 606.

The second half of the night in Hanhai City was very lively, but fortunately, the windows of this hotel were soundproof, and Lingxu heard almost no noise.

By the next day, very early, that Kevin and Zhaolong were waiting in the hotel lobby with a beautiful woman in purple clothes who looked to be about thirty years old.

It was not until the Sun was hanging high that Lingxu walked out.

Seeing Lingxu, the three immediately stepped forward and knelt, saying: "Greetings, Consecrated."

This Offering Token had been given to him by Qian Daoliu two years ago, and it was indeed very useful.

Lingxu said: "Speak, how did it go?"

Kevin said: "In the second half of last night, our Spirit Hall dispatched one hundred Spirit Masters and three hundred knights to quickly bring the situation under control, and at the same time, we supported a new City Lord."

Lingxu glanced at the woman beside him; she was actually already a level seventy-one Soul Saint.

"Still not going to introduce yourself to the lord?"

The woman immediately said: "Ziyun, martial soul Sea Viper, level seventy-one assault-type Soul Saint."

"Surname Zi, martial soul Sea Viper? Do you perhaps have a daughter named Zi Zhenzhu?" Lingxu asked curiously.

Ziyun said: "My lord, I do have a daughter named Zi Xin, not Zi Zhenzhu."

"Not named Zi Zhenzhu!" Lingxu said with some disappointment.

In fact, Lingxu was just asking on a whim; if it really were Zi Zhenzhu, she would have some talent, and if there were an opportunity, he could cultivate her.

Although Ziyun found it strange that the Spirit Hall Elder before her would ask about her daughter, since this was a Spirit Hall Elder, it was not convenient for her to ask back.

"My lord, I have already taken over the position of City Lord of Hanhai City, and currently half of the people have chosen to submit; raiding the City Lord's Mansion also yielded over a million Gold Soul Coins and some supplies, but..."

Lingxu said: "If you have a need, just say it."

"Thank you, my lord. There are still several factions in this Hanhai City, and relying solely on my strength, Hall Master Kevin, and Deputy Hall Master Zhaolong, it is still very difficult to stabilize; Ziyun implores the lord to take action once to assist me!"
