Chapter 219
"Those stories about passing through or arriving by accident need not be used to bluff me."Haro paused slightly.
He had indeed just intended to tell that terrifying lord above that he was merely passing through... but it seemed this lord was not one to be swindled.
A look of helplessness and concern appeared on his face: "Respected Lord, I obtained a treasure map recording a treasure located thirty li north of this place. I have come to claim it."As he spoke, he also took out a yellowed piece of parchment from his spatial bag and opened it.
It was covered in all sorts of scribbles and looked quite like a treasure map. "Claim a treasure?"
Li Yue watched the other's expression.
He found it somewhat difficult to discern the truth of that statement.
After all, if the other truly came specifically for his Lord Chenxi territory, it would be hard to explain. But if the other came to claim a treasure and coincidentally arrived at Lord Chenxi territory—he simply did not believe it.
Coincidences exist in the world, but if a coincidence happened to him, he would not believe it. "It seems the mage gentleman is unwilling to speak the truth." "Ah Huang, kill him!"
(cebb) Li Yue's voice turned cold as he gave the order. "Roar!"
Ah Huang roared.
Terrible dark energy gathered wildly in its mouth! The terrifying degree—made the mage Haro below's eyelids twitch violently, his face changing drastically. Such terrifying energy—this black dragon before him had likely reached the Golden realm, two minor realms higher than him! "Noble Lord, please stop!!" "I will speak the truth!"
"I sensed the appearance of a divine creature here, so I came to investigate!" Every hair on his body stood on end as he shouted urgently.
Speaking might lead to death. But if he did not speak—he would certainly die!
He was clear about this difference.
So he concealed nothing further and stated his purpose directly. "How do you know a divine creature has appeared here?"
Li Yue patted the black dragon Ah Huang's neck, ordering Ah Huang to stop the attack, and asked with a furrowed brow.
Could the other have seen the Jin Guang Pillar?
No matter how brilliant the Jin Guang Pillar was, it should not have been able to transmit that far.
"I am the guardian mage of Laneilicheng on the edge of Saint Na Ze Er Forest."
"I manage the Divine Crystal Ball. Once a divine creature appears in the southern region of Saint Na Ze Er Forest, it will be displayed on it."Haro sighed and explained.
"Saint Na Ze Er Forest is this forest before us?"Li Yue's eyes flashed. "Correct."
"Saint Na Ze Er Forest is vast, bordering several kingdoms."Haro said.
"Bordering several kingdoms..."Li Yue frowned.
Looking at the mage Haro below, he pondered for a moment and said calmly: "Leave your spatial bag, and you may depart." "Good!"
Haro hesitated for a moment, then agreed.
The other allowing him to leave was already the best outcome.
If he had still been ungrateful...
Then the other killing him right there would have been highly probable.
Although nearly half of his assets were in the spatial bag.
Nothing was more important than his own life.
Watching the mage Haro, who simply threw the spatial bag on the ground and then quickly departed wrapped in a whirlwind—Li Yue's expression remained calm.
The reason he did not kill the other was that he did not want to clash with a kingdom right now.
Killing or not killing a Golden mage made little difference.
But if this attracted a Diamond-level powerhouse, or even a Shi Shi-level existence far more terrifying than a Diamond-level powerhouse.
Then the loss would outweigh the gain. And now—he had not killed the other.
Plus, he had revealed two black dragons, showing strength not to be underestimated.
The other would inevitably speculate on his relationship with the Dragon Clan and would be wary of his Lord Chenxi territory.
Not to mention.
In a situation with no grudges and no conflict of interests.
A kingdom would presumably not easily make an enemy of a territory possessing several Golden combat strengths. "Still not strong enough!"
"If my strength were sufficient, would I need to fear a kingdom?"
He took a deep breath, feeling a greater desire within his heart to strengthen the power of Lord Chenxi.
Lord Chenxi is the strongest among all territories.
But compared to the natives of the Ten Thousand Races Battlefield, it is clearly far from enough! Even—some territories cooperating with native forces will surely advance by leaps and bounds next!
Moreover, looking at the ruined Elven city before.
The Ten Thousand Races Battlefield obviously has more than just humans as a native force.
Some lords, if they happen to connect with their own kind in the Ten Thousand Races Battlefield, the help for those lords will be immeasurably huge.
Such terrifying creatures as Giant Dragons, Hydras, Medusas, Behemoths, Titans, and so on.
Because their individual strength is great and their reproductive ability is extremely weak.
Their clans are quite united. Most likely—the clans in the Ten Thousand Races Battlefield will accept these kindred lords!
Returning to the territory.
Li Yue's gaze turned eastward.
Within a hundred li of Lord Chenxi, only two territory light pillars could still be seen to the east.
The territory light pillars previously visible to the west and south.
Were basically the eight territories that came to attack Lord Chenxi, which have already been destroyed. "Continue expansion."
"The beasts to the north have dispersed."
"Hunting a large number of beasts all at once is obviously impossible now." "Next—"
"I will sweep through all territories within a two-hundred-li radius!" He murmured softly to himself.
He must maintain Lord Chenxi's position as number one.
Moreover, he must develop combat strength sufficient to make any kingdom fear!
Summoning Bai Yin Elf Hai'er and Witch Queen Ka Ka Luoer, he ordered, "Shirley, lead a squadron of elf archers west." "Hai'er, lead a squadron of elf archers east." "Ka Ka Luoer, lead half a witch squadron south."
"Centered on Lord Chenxi's domain, flatten all territories within a two-hundred-li radius." The three bowed in salute: "We obey!"
