Chapter 79: Finally Over

At the moment Thunder Castle closed, the adventurers who had been locked in combat all stopped their actions in unison.

It… ended.

Many people's faces still lingered in bewilderment.

Especially several temporary leaders of the major forces fell into deep worry.

In the five or six days since the World Within World opened, we fought a lot, but the gains were far less than imagined.

After we go out, we'll probably be harshly scolded, right?

Hmph, those few families, outwardly they call each other brothers, but secretly they've done a lot.

Until now, they all thought it was people from other major forces pulling strings, so they rushed to exchange most of the goods.

After all, gathering that many Thunder Stones in one night could only be done by the Two Great Holy Lands and the Sizuzhi.

Sigh, staying here is pointless, retreat!

With a command from several high‑ups, squads began to gather and withdraw toward the entrance of the World Within World.

Zhou Yang and his companions also slipped into the Three Axe Mountain team.

Be careful, prevent anyone from panicking and killing indiscriminately!

Zhou Yang sent a voice reminder to Luo Feng and others: that Ninth Prince Brolin of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire is not a good fellow.

In the original work, he directly targeted the Three Axe Mountain faction for the final layer of the spatial crystal code.

This time, his harvest is even more pitifully miserable; who knows what fanatical act he might do.

However, his worry seems unnecessary.

Whether Brolin was hit too hard or for some other reason, this guy has been perfectly obedient without any out‑of‑line behavior all the way.

After flying in the World Within World for about seven days, the dense army of adventurers finally passed through the exit and arrived at the Wind‑Thunder Gorge of Leiting Shijie.

Then they also flew in Leiting Shijie for about seven days; the large contingent finally reached the final exit leading to Canglan Xing.

However, this exit is not as big as the Black Hole in Wind‑Thunder Gorge; each time it can only accommodate a few people simultaneously.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

A multitude of adventurers turned into streams of light, continuously flying outward.

Zhou Yang and his group waited quietly.

After about an hour, it was finally their turn.

Go! Out!

Zhou Yang called out, and the nine‑person party rushed toward the Route exit.

After passing the waterfall of flowing light that rippled like water, the next second their figures appeared before the villa of the ancient city on Canglan Xing.

All adventurers, assemble ahead.

Those who try to flee, kill!

Those who defy the commanders, kill!

Shouts of command kept echoing above the villa.

Zhou Yang looked up and saw, in the half‑sky of the area, at every direction, a large number of Universe‑level strongmen hovering, occasionally with a Domain Lord among them.

These strongmen stared coldly at the lucky‑surviving adventurer legion.

Roars of angry commands rang into every adventurer's ears, making the legion dare not fly recklessly.

All go to the plain outside the ancient city and wait for your respective leaders to pick you up!

Time passed; on the wasteland beside the ancient city, the surviving adventurer army from the World Within World treasure raid camped there.

Some Domain Lord strongmen began to fly over, taking away the people and mounts that belonged to them.

And those scattered adventurers without a strongman's guidance met an unsurprising fate.

As time went on, the number of troops on this wasteland kept dwindling: seventy thousand, sixty thousand, fifty thousand, forty thousand.

Zhou Yang and his companions waited silently, and finally a familiar figure appeared in their sight.

Zhou Yang, Luo Feng! Ha ha, so glad to see you again!

The towering, robust Ming Yu floated in the air.

Zhou Yang and his group, together with over two hundred adventurers nearby, all flew forward.

Lord Ming Yu!

All the two‑hundred‑plus people performed the salute together.

Very well, let's go rest at my manor.

Ming Yu led Zhou Yang and the 200‑plus adventurers away swiftly.

Soon, this party landed in a beautifully designed elegant manor.

Zhou Yang and his group and those two‑hundred‑plus adventurers stood quietly on the manor's lawn.

Yet Ming Yu's expression suddenly turned somewhat serious.

Everyone, sorry, it seems there's a problem in the World Within World; now I need to inspect the storage equipment of all of you!

Huh? What happened?

Why do we need to check our spatial equipment?

The over two hundred adventurers were slightly stunned.

However, faced with the solemn request of a Domain Lord‑level strongman, they had no room to resist and honestly handed over their storage gear for Ming Yu to examine.

Among the crowd, Zhou Yang felt a quiet relief.

He had long guessed this situation.

Since the World Within World suddenly lost so many treasures, the high‑level leaders of the major forces aren't fools; with a little information exchange they could easily spot the issue.

Still, he wasn't overly worried.

At this moment, the space ring that contained all the harvests of the World Within World had already been taken by Luo Feng into the interior world of the Golden Horned Beast's Primordial Core, so there was no need to worry about being discovered.

At this moment, in their storage spaces, besides their original belongings, they had only added an ordinary fifth‑rank Original Force weapon and some Universe Crystals.

"Lord Ming Yu, please inspect!"

Zhou Yang proactively handed the space rings of the few to Ming Yu.

"Hehe, Zhou Yang, Luo Feng, and the rest of you, sorry, the problem this time was just too big!"

Seeing that it was Zhou Yang and the others, the Domain Lord Level strongman Ming Yu actually took the initiative to explain a sentence.

Previously, in the Shaluochang Juezhan Kongjian duel, Zhou Yang and Luo Feng both demonstrated strength that crossed the Benfa Faze Menkan.

Hong and Lei Shen were also Domain‑level geniuses, so his attitude toward the few was rather friendly.

"Let me see, you little guys have done quite well!"

Ming Yu glanced briefly, and when he saw the huge War Blade radiating a fierce aura, the smile on his face became unmistakable.

Soon, all the space rings had been inspected.

Ming Yu waved his hand and dismissed the more than two hundred adventurers, but kept Zhou Yang and the others.

Zhou Yang, quick‑witted, without waiting for Ming Yu to speak, proactively took out the fifth‑rank Original Force War Blade "Zhan Kong Dao" from the space ring.

"Lord Ming Yu, this is a treasure "Zhan Kong Dao" we exchanged in Thunder Castle; I wish to present this treasure to you!"

"Haha, good, good."

The tremors caused by the World Within World were still spreading over Canglan Xing, while Zhou Yang and the others piloted their own ship, departed from Canglan Xing's interstellar docking port, and surged straight into the endless starry sky.

Until then, they finally let out a long sigh of relief.

"Phew, finally out of there; you have no idea, being under the watchful eye of that Domain Lord Level strongman, I was almost dying of nerves, terrified of being exposed!"

Lei Shen exaggeratedly pounded his chest, looking terrified.

"Not to mention you, Lei Ge, I was scared too; it was my first time facing a Realm Lord face‑to‑face!"

Luo Feng was also panting heavily,

"But that Lord Ming Yu was quite nice; we gave him a fifth‑rank Original Force weapon, and he gave us a hundred life planets, and even transferred twenty billion Universe Coins in cash—truly generous!"

"Hmm, indeed generous."

Zhou Yang also nodded.

At this moment, his heart was especially excited.

After several months, finally, the treasure of the World Within World was in hand!

Just this portion of their haul already far exceeds the total wealth of an ordinary Realm Lord.

With this fortune, they no longer have to worry about Cultivation Resources for the time being.

Their next primary task is to cultivate peacefully, preparing for the upcoming Genius Battle.
