Chapter 122 Turbulence
"You chose the path to heaven but refused to take it, and barged into the gates of hell instead." Suk silently watched the whole process. "You brought this upon yourselves, don't blame me." Suk had the Death Star Vine destroy the starlight spaceship he hadn't planned to bring from the inside with all its might, then threw it into a deep pit and buried it, completely destroying all traces. After that, he quickly left with the relics left behind by the Twelfth Prince and the others.
He certainly felt exhilarated from his outburst to the killing, but the entire Jialan Imperial Court's army was thrown into chaos.
The news of the twelfth prince and his entourage's deaths was quickly confirmed, alarming the entire upper echelons of the Jialan Empire.
It is truly shocking that a prince and princess would die so inexplicably in the Crimson Dragon World.
Under normal circumstances, the royal family's powerful members would have already stormed in to investigate, but now that the world's entrance is blocked, they can only lament their helplessness.
With the imminent emergence of the Crimson Dragon Treasure, they had no choice but to temporarily appoint a new leader to continue commanding the adventurer army of the Crimson Dragon World, preventing this force from falling into chaos and disintegration.
No secret can stay hidden forever. News of the murder of the twelfth prince and fifteenth princess of the Jialan Empire quickly spread among various factions.
People are curious: who did it? How could someone with such skill kill a prince of an empire?
"I did it, but I won't tell you." At the foot of a mountain on the mainland, Suk and his group temporarily stopped.
Almost a day has passed since the treasure appeared, and Suk estimates that the treasure chests should have been found by now.
The second appearance of the treasure occurred three days after the first.
Suk was taking stock of his gains from this trip.
After killing the twelfth prince and his party, he obtained a large-scale spatial ring, eight C3-level laser guns, and 18 bluish-gray metal boxes (the others are still with the various teams in the Jialan Royal Court camp). In total, he now has 38 treasure chests, worth approximately 400 billion cosmic coins.
"After a whole day of running around, I only earned 4000 billion cosmic coins. Making money these days is really tough," Suk sighed. Among them were the selfless contributions of the Twelfth Prince and his companions; may they rest in peace.
Zuo Mu stood speechlessly beside Su Ke. "Earning only 4000 billion cosmic coins a day? If a World Lord heard you say that, he'd be furious." How much wealth does a World Lord actually have? It's all accumulated over countless years. And a newly ascended World Lord might not even have 4000 billion. In Zuo Mu's opinion, Su Ke was just being hypocritical.
Eloi was somewhat worried. "Suk, do you think we'll be okay after killing that imperial prince and princess?"
"Aloy, don't worry. As long as Suk kills everyone and the news doesn't leak out, everything will be fine. Besides, you're now part of the Doomsday Blade faction, which has always been at odds with the official government of the Jialan Empire. As long as you don't give anything away, you'll be fine." Bubble seemed indifferent. In her eyes, what imperial princes and princesses? They were all bullshit! If her master were still alive, even the several gods of the Jialan Empire would have to bow down and be respectful.
The sacred land of "Jialan Divine Kingdom" is the greatest backer of the imperial family.
The vast天地 (heaven and earth) is a plain that stretches as far as the eye can see. In the center of the plain is a vast, green mountain range that stretches for millions of kilometers and is covered with countless trees. Countless rare birds and animals live here, and exquisite palaces are everywhere on the top of the mountain range.
On a mountain path shrouded in mist, two realm lords with astonishing auras were traveling together.
There are fewer than two hundred Realm Lords in the entire Jialan Empire. Realm Lords are considered to be the top level of existence in the Holy Land, second only to God Lords.
As for the 'God Lord'—that's an immortal deity, while a Realm Lord has a limited lifespan. Immortality is the only eternal existence. But breaking through to immortality is extremely difficult. Of the more than one hundred Realm Lords in the entire Jialan Starfield, based on probability, it's estimated that they will all die of old age.
"Have you heard? The Blue Card Realm Lord's most beloved great-granddaughter died in the Crimson Dragon World, which had just opened its treasure trove." The speaker was an old man with a single horn on his forehead that was half black and half white, but his face was quite ordinary. He was wearing a robe embroidered with leaves, but looking into his green eyes, it was as if he could see an endless land full of life.
"Of course I know. I even voted to approve his great-grandson being appointed commander of the Crimson Dragon World's adventurer army." Another beautiful woman beside him, with strange golden markings on her cheeks and double pupils, shook her head. "This time..."
"Lanka lost two of his favored juniors; he probably won't let this go easily."
The one-horned old man seemed to have thought of something, and shook his head with a sigh, "Yes, that old fellow Lanca was always arrogant and extreme in nature."
He had finally had a son late in life, but his son died on an adventure while serving as the domain lord, leaving behind a little granddaughter—whom he always doted on. He'll probably come to him crying again this time.
The woman laughed and said, "Even if Lanka wants to avenge his family, he still needs to find the right people. The people involved have all been killed, and there's no information at all. I doubt it will work out. Compared to all that, I'm more concerned about what those treasures in the Crimson Dragon World are."
Right now, all the powerful figures in the entire Jialan Empire are paying attention to the news from the Crimson Dragon World. As for the death of one or two princes or princesses, it can only be said to cause a slight ripple, and it will not have any significant impact.
Time flies, and the third day arrived quickly.
As night fell, countless people looked up and eagerly awaited the arrival of the night.
Having learned from the previous experience, each faction has dispersed its forces to various parts of the continent to facilitate a quick battle for the treasures when they land.
In fact, Suk also understood that the further he went, the more difficult it would be for him to compete with all parties.
He wasn't greedy; he went all out and took as much as he could.
In the silent, dark night sky, suddenly bright stars appeared, standing out vividly in the darkness. Then, these dazzling stars transformed into streaks of light, piercing the night sky and trailing long tails as they scattered and fell to the earth at an astonishing speed.
"It's here!"
"Quickly, proceed according to plan!"
"The Third Battalion, follow me this way immediately."
Adventurers from all factions across the continent, who had been watching with their heads tilted back, were excited at the sight. Teams scattered throughout the continent began to move, flying towards the locations where the treasures had fallen. It was easy to imagine that a fierce battle would ensue.
"Three days later, a total of 72 stars have fallen, representing the appearance of 72 treasures." Suk also witnessed this scene and sighed slightly. "According to the Poison Dragon Abyss Giant, the treasures that appeared a second time should be even more valuable."
He now stood in the spaceship's control room, the screen displaying the coordinates of where the treasure had landed. "Let's head to the nearest target location and see how we do," Suk said, then shook his head. This time, everyone was well-prepared, and even he had little confidence.
With a whoosh, the spaceship started up and disappeared into the night sky in the blink of an eye, becoming a streak of light.
