Devour

Chapter 124: The Destruction of Xian Valley

After defeating the combined forces of the four, Cheng Bai took advantage of the victory and pursued them, using his sword to open the gate of life and death and slash continuously. In an instant, he took the life of the first zombie lord, and the second zombie lord fell to the ground and died suddenly without even a sound.

The third zombie lord was tenacious and leaped up to sweep with his foot, drawing a crescent arc in the air. He was as fast as lightning and split the mountains with his force, sparing no effort to use his deadly killing move.

The fourth zombie lord clasped his hands together, gathering all the rivers and streams into one. Many ice cones merged into one, forming a huge ice pillar. The tip was as sharp as a sword and stabbed straight forward, doing his best to deliver a fatal blow.

Cheng Bai used the sticky technique of the Six Paths of Bliss Fist to pull and the control technique to move, forcibly pushing the sweeping foot knife towards the icicle. The icicle rushed towards the foot knife, and the attacks of the two zombie lords were inflicted on each other.

The ice chips shattered instantly, and the third zombie lord howled miserably. His legs were broken and he flew away, but he couldn't get up.

The fourth zombie lord's ice cone domain was broken one after another, and his defense was powerless. Cheng Bai flashed by like a flash, and his knife opened the gate of life and death and chopped down coldly, reaping the dead.

The fifth zombie lord in the ice water pool had just popped half of his head out, but he shrank back when he saw the situation.

"What great skills and abilities. Young friend Cheng is a genius and has an extraordinary treasure. How about we stop the fighting?" A voice of praise came from the ice coffin, sometimes left and sometimes right, echoing back and forth in the ten coffins.

Cheng Bai waved.

Li Tong flew back to his left hand and whispered, "It's Mi Ermao. If the hard method doesn't work, then try the soft method."

The stone maniac floating above his head secretly reminded him: "During the battle just now, he distorted reality several times in an attempt to influence the situation, but he couldn't break through my defense, so it was all ineffective."

Cheng Bai happily said: "If you are sincere, why don't you show up to meet me?"

The Faceless Lord coughed repeatedly, and seemed to be seriously injured. He took a breath and said, "I am seriously injured and hard to recover. I am blind and old, so it is difficult for me to see guests. I had to ask the younger generation to come forward to discuss this matter, but I didn't expect to cause misunderstanding. Actually, I only have one favor to ask of you."

Actively showing weakness in a fight makes it difficult to tell whether it is real or fake.

Cheng Bai said politely, "Senior, please speak frankly." His spiritual eyes swept over the ice coffin. There were multiple restrictions inside, and it was difficult to peer into it with his spiritual sense. He could not confirm which coffin the other party was in.

The Faceless Lord said slowly: "I see that you have the power of divine fire, and I hope you can help the Faceless Clan light the star ship beacon furnace, so that we can leave Qiongqi Star and return home to recognize our ancestors."

After this battle, the Faceless Lord confirmed that Cheng Bai possessed the source of the divine fire. Unfortunately, it was difficult to break the immortal weapon and it was impossible to seize it by force, so he simply negotiated with Cheng Bai in a friendly manner.

Cheng Bai said leisurely: "This is a trivial matter. Senior, I dare not refuse your order. I just need to pay a small commission."

The Faceless Lord hurriedly asked, "How much commission do you want, young friend Cheng?"

Cheng Bai said calmly, "A beacon furnace costs 1000 two-star gold. This furnace can be disassembled. I'm busy and can't go around everywhere. You guys move to the front of the Hunter Gun King, light a furnace, and I'll get a commission."

The Faceless Lord asked curiously, "How do you know how much star gold my clan has in stock?"

Cheng Bai and Li Tong looked at each other and said bluntly, "The central area surrounded by the Faceless Tribe's Starship Tower was once the largest star gold mine in the southern continent, but it was mined out by the Faceless Tribe long ago."

The Faceless Lord said, "My friend, you have made a very careful observation. I agree with you."

Seeing that he was decisive, Cheng Bai turned around and went downstairs.

Li Tong whispered, "There are 498 star ships in total. Excluding the Hunter Gun King, we will definitely get taels of star gold. He agreed so quickly, so he must have more star gold in stock than expected, so the price he offered is still too low."

Cheng Bai smiled without saying anything. The offer was high enough. He only needed to put in a little effort and would be able to reap the rewards. Tonight's harvest was beyond his expectations. Unfortunately, he had to rush back to Sanxian Valley and could not delay for too long.

When he walked out of the Star Ship Tower, the Faceless Lord was waiting outside. When he saw Cheng Bai, he said, "The Lord has informed me that all the generals should go and notify all the Star Ship Towers to take down the beacon stoves. Little friend Cheng, please wait for the Hunter Gun King."

Cheng Bai returned the key of Starship No. 50 and went back to the first floor of the store, only to see the Smoker lying in the hall in the form of a beast, and Lu Miaoting taking a nap with her head resting on the table.

Seeing Cheng Bai coming back with Li Tong and Shi Chi, the Smoker stood up and whispered, "Master, have you settled everything?"

Cheng Bai nodded and said, "No problem. If the Hunter Gun King doesn't want to change, they can just send the beacon stove over to light it. You can prepare to collect the money."

Soon, many faceless people came to line up in front of the Hunter Gun King carrying beacon stoves. Cheng Bai was very quick and lit one with a flick of his finger, while the smoker lit the star gold beside him, coordinating with each other.

The noise startled Lu Miaoting, who leaned over to look, not daring to say anything.

In more than half an hour, all the beacon furnaces of the Faceless Man were lit.

Cheng Bai swallowed a pill of Bu Tian Shen Li to replenish his physical strength. He was in high spirits, looking at the Faceless Man's star ship that had installed the beacon furnace first and tried to slowly rise into the sky. It was estimated that within a few days, when the crystal cores were filled, all of them would leave.

After collecting all the star gold, Cheng Bai looked up at the sky and said with a smile, "It has delayed us for some time. The battle of wits and courage tonight was really refreshing. We have stayed here for an extra hour, right? I'm sure the Three Sages Valley will be bustling when we get back."

Lu Miaoting stared at him in horror and said weakly, "I waited in the store for a whole day."

The smoker said hurriedly, "Master, you went there last night. According to the time, you have been here for thirteen hours."

Shi Chi also said: "Master, you have been in Starship No. 50 for a whole day."

Cheng Bai's face changed slightly, he looked at Li Tong and asked, "Why don't I remember?"

Li Tong muttered, "I am trapped in a distorted reality. My memory is fuzzy and I have no concept of time. I can only remember time when I am awake."

"Oops."

Cheng Bai jumped up and was about to teleport back to Sanxian Valley, but then he changed his mind and said, "Close the shop, start the starship and go back to Sanxian Valley to take a look."

Now that the Faceless Tribe are all fleeing, there is nothing good to stay here.

Lu Miaoting followed Cheng Bai to the observation tower, re-lit the beacon furnace and started it, trying to command the starship to operate and fly.

The beacon stove obeyed the command of Lu Miaoting who used the key, making a rustling sound as if adjusting the appropriate language. Soon, the ethereal intelligent voice echoed from the lookout: "Raider No. 395 activated the navigation mode, and the location was found in the designated target area."

The star ship slowly rose into the air, adjusted its position, and moved towards the Three Sages Valley. Its speed was even faster than the patrolling spirit boat, and it arrived in less than a moment.

From afar, we could see the Sanxian Valley filled with thick smoke rolling in the night sky, which took a long time to dissipate.

Cheng Bai thought for a moment and ordered, "Slow down, you guys stop outside, I'll go in and take a look first."

Lu Miaoting commanded the star ship and anchored it in a spacious open space next to the lush forest.

Cheng Bai brought Shi Chi and Li Tong and hurriedly teleported to the southern peak of Sanxian Valley and looked down.

The valley was in a mess, with corpses everywhere, including those of disciples of the Weapon Sect and various insects.

As I was watching, a giant earth-red scorpion over eight meters long suddenly emerged from the ground beside me. It was covered with chitin armor and was fully armed. Unlike ordinary scorpions, it only had three pairs of legs and a pair of chelicerae. At the end of its raised scorpion tail, a dark blue eye opened and spewed electric light at the target.

But it did not hit Cheng Bai. Its tail was cut off and its eight legs were removed at the first encounter.

Cheng Bai knocked over the giant scorpion with great efficiency, cut open its chest and abdomen like a human-shaped sharp blade, took out the crystal core, and put it into his treasure bag.

Li Tong said, "This is a lightning scorpion, a land killer of the Kuihu insect race. It is strong in both close combat and long-range combat, and is also good at burrowing underground. It lurks underground and waits for an opportunity to launch a sneak attack."

When these insect soldiers hide underground, they only stick out their tails to sweep in all directions, like a mobile artillery position.

"Not only lightning scorpions, but also burning insects and mad bees." Cheng Bai looked at the insect corpses all over the ground. They were huge in size and it was obvious at a glance that they were these types.

Crazy bees dropped from the sky to attract attention, lightning scorpions suddenly attacked from underground, and burning insects took advantage of the chaos to blast a huge gap in the valley entrance and swarmed in. Everyone in the valley was caught off guard and was defeated.

Most of the Bailian Hall buildings in the valley were built in the open air, and the heaviest casualties could be seen there. There was blood and flesh everywhere, corpses were spread all over the ground, and all the refining cauldrons were smashed to pieces. Even the best Yanlong Ding was not spared. It was obvious that many magic weapons also participated in the battle.

Cheng Bai sighed endlessly, his spiritual sense covering the entire Sanxian Valley, quickly searching for the nearest life reaction, and said with relief: "So many soldiers have been fighting since last night, and there are still people alive in the valley."

He put away the magic weapon and instantly teleported to the place where the replica of Zhurong Ding was located in the mountain path. This giant cauldron, which was more than two stories high, stood still and was almost unaffected by the baptism of war.
