Chapter 608

Finally, after parting layer upon layer of fog.

A massive castle appeared before Li Yue's eyes, as if it had suddenly materialized, lying across the path ahead.

The Dark Demon Dragon slowly descended, and the true enormity of the castle gradually revealed itself.

It turned out that what they had seen from high above was merely a corner of the castle.

And only when standing before the castle gates did one truly grasp the castle's towering grandeur.

Li Yue could imagine what this castle must have looked like back when demons still occupied it.

It must have been extraordinarily prosperous, though he did not understand the nature of that prosperity.

Now, every unit within this castle belonged to Lord Chenxi's domain.

On the ground, dark green fresh blood had yet to dry — clearly the place had only just been cleaned up.

An exceedingly beautiful elf stepped forward to lead the way, her destination naturally being the Demon City's treasure vault.

From the castle gate to the treasure vault took an hour.

It could be said that this journey thoroughly satisfied the castle dreams Li Yue had harbored since childhood.

The scenery inside the castle was far more beautiful than the castles he had imagined.

"Clang!"

With a tremendous crash, the Baokuda Sect slowly swung open.

The instant he caught a glimpse of a corner of the vault through the crack in the door, the expression on Li Yue's face instantly lit up with delight.

All because opposite, there were several Pseudo Divine Power Crystals!

This way, he could once again lower the recruitment energy required for those precious troop types.

"Clang, clang!"

The Demon City vault doors were fully thrown open, and gazing at the dazzling array of treasures within, Li Yue's mouth nearly watered.

Although most of them emanated waves of black energy, it was not hard to see that the Tier of these treasures was extremely high.

The people under his command could not use them, but he could sell them to others.

He clearly remembered that when the first rankings were published, several demon factions had made it into the top hundred.

And among the top ten, there was also one territory belonging to a demon faction.

Therefore, these treasures could absolutely be converted into lively energy.

Li Yue did not dare touch those treasures — of course, except for the three Pseudo Divine Power Crystals at the very top.

The once-overwhelming demonic aura instantly vanished, leaving only a trace of magical energy lingering in the air.

He could not help but feel a touch of disappointment — among those demon equipments, there was no shortage of Legendary-grade weapons.

Unfortunately, no one in Lord Chenxi's domain could use them.

Not even the demon warlocks.

Demon warlocks, after all, were still witches — different from the demon origin, and their equipments could not be shared with each other.

At the same time, Li Yue was also somewhat puzzled — why was this place different from the elven capital, Shengcheng?

How could the Demon City have no Altar Upgrade Stones at all? Could it be that the demons of the Demon City had never raided any lords?

Or was it that no territories had descended in this vicinity at all?

Just then, a goblin came trotting over.

"Lord, we've discovered a treasure vault on our side."

Hearing this, Li Yue's eyes lit up.

That's more like it — how could such a massive castle possibly have only one treasure vault?

Five minutes later, gazing at the dazzling array of treasures before him, Li Yue's eyes were nearly dazzled.

Thousands upon thousands of purple-grade equipments, of every type, and with excellent attributes.

Hundreds of orange-grade equipments…

Several dozen red Shi Shi-grade equipments…

Several hundred basic construction blueprints of various kinds

Over ten thousand bottles of magic potions of Various tiers…

Several thousand spell scrolls of Various tiers…

Large quantities of magic potion materials, forging materials…

Over a million ordinary magic stones!

Over a hundred thousand intermediate magic stones!

And those Altar Upgrade Stones, visually estimated at one or two hundred, filled Li Yue with boundless delight.

At this moment, even his heartbeat quickened considerably.

Yet within this treasure vault, not a single piece of equipment bearing demonic energy was to be seen.

Without even needing to think, Li Yue already knew that this vault must have been used by the demons to stockpile the loot they had plundered over time but had no use for.

So much so that they had not even bothered to sort them — they had basically just tossed them in haphazardly.

These ultimate treasures, which others would consider priceless and nearly impossible to obtain, were nothing but trash in the demons' eyes.

Just as Li Yue regarded the weapons used by the demons.

Things that cannot be used, no matter how good, are useless.

After sweeping up all the treasures, Li Yue continued to wait with eager anticipation for news from his soldiers.

Since a second treasure vault had already been discovered, could there be a third, a fourth?

An hour later, Li Yue's expectant heart gradually calmed.

Listening to Zhu Li Ya's report, he had to admit that his own thinking had been somewhat unrealistic.

Perhaps those treasures brimming with demonic energy were the demons' most prized possessions.

It's just that he had no way to use them.

The next second, he opened the prompt that had popped up earlier and was still unanswered.

【You have conquered the demon city 'Demon City'. Please choose: Occupy or Destroy?】

【If you choose to occupy, the demon city 'Demon City' will become your territory (you can summon demons, build a Demon Pool within the city, with a 50% chance of attracting one Legendary demon to move in, and a 90% chance of attracting five Shi Shi demons to move in)】

【If you choose to destroy, the demon city 'Demon City' will turn into a Legendary treasure chest, from which you can obtain energy, architectural blueprints, equipment, and so on】

One Legendary, five Shi Shi! 290

This lineup could be said to have even made Li Yue somewhat tempted.

It's just a pity that what was attracted were demons on equal footing with him; if they were other creatures, he might have considered whether to occupy it.

After thinking it over three times, Li Yue still chose not to take this city.

"Destroy!"

【Detected that this city is relatively rare, you still have one more chance to confirm your choice.】

【If you choose to occupy, the demon city 'Demon City' will become your territory (you can summon demons, build a Demon Pool within the city, with a 55% chance of attracting one Legendary demon to move in, and a 95% chance of attracting five Shi Shi demons to move in)】

【If you choose to destroy, the demon city 'Demon City' will turn into a Legendary treasure chest, from which you can obtain energy, architectural blueprints, equipment, and so on】

This sudden prompt surprised him somewhat; it was his first time encountering this kind of second-choice opportunity.

Moreover, he noticed that this time, the chance of attracting demons to move in had actually risen by 5%.

It's just a pity that these were demons, so he still chose.

"Destroy!"

【Confirming destruction!】

【Destruction countdown: Five】

【Four】

【Three】

【Two】

【One】

When the countdown ended, the entire castle began to gradually become ethereal.

The familiar Bai Guang slowly rose from every part of the castle, growing increasingly intense.
