2591 Battle for Clean Stones Anyway, Han Fei was not afraid now. It didn’t matter if he had a showdown with them. Anyway, they were already here. If they weren’t tempted, they could leave on their own. However, even if someone wanted to leave now, if fewer people left, they might not be able to return to the Hundred Alliance City. Along the way, they caused too much noise and killed countless mine demons along the way, which would inevitably cause many mine demons to scramble for food. Therefore, the way back might not be safe. And a small number of people couldn’t achieve the effect of an army. Therefore, at this moment, Han Fei decided to lay his cards on the table. So what if he said that the Bloody Hand Mine Devils were contaminated by the ominous? You can go if you’re afraid! He was sure that these people wouldn’t leave, because the people who came this time were all strong masters in the peak-level late-stage Star Transformation Realm or above. Although many people hadn’t dealt with the ominous, there were strong masters of the divine beast lineage here! Also, the City of Scavengers and the City of Origin were very experienced with dealing with the ominous. They had sent out such a comprehensive force this time. If necessary, they would definitely take action. Therefore, someone immediately looked at the leader of the City of Origin and said, “An Shanbei, I heard that your Chaotic Wasteland deals with the ominous all year round. You should have a way to deal with the ominous, right?” Someone echoed, “The northern expedition army is one. Isn’t it said that there are more than 30,000 Bloody Hand Mine Devils below? Those are 30,000 perfected Star Transformation Realm cultivators. If we aren’t safe, why would we risk our lives to help you kill so many Bloody Hand Mine Devils?” However, An Shanbei looked at the person from the City of Scavengers and then said, “First of all, we didn’t know that the Bloody Hand Mine Devil contained ominous power. Otherwise, we would have arranged for the Chaotic Wasteland to send supplies to cleanse the ominous power. However, how much can we have now? If we solely rely on our reserves, we definitely can’t eliminate so many Bloody Hand Mine Devils. I just don’t know how much reserves the City of Scavengers and the City of Wanderers have.” Everyone looked at Luo Chen. He was the leader of the City of Scavengers this time. He thought to himself, We have just received the Clean Stones and you are already targeting us? However, Luo Chen was not easy to deal with. He said, “Even your City of Origin doesn’t have much reserves. How much can we have? More importantly, those are mine demons in the perfected Star Transformation Realm. We can’t kill one of them with one Clean Stone. If we just use Clean Stones, even a hundred thousand Clean Stones might not be enough to kill a thousand Bloody Hand Mine Devils.” There was no need to ask Chen Tianya. Chen Tianya said, “There are only ten people from our City of Wanderers. It’s useless even if you look at me. My boss is not here. Even if he is, he doesn’t have so many Clean Stones! Clean Stones are only used in the Chaotic Wasteland. Under normal circumstances, who would bring a huge number of Clean Stones to the Infinite Mining Area?” Luo Chen nodded. “Yes! But I remember that there is a long-term deal between the Capital of Horror and our Chaotic Wasteland. Some of the Clean Stones in our Chaotic Wasteland will be sent to the Capital of Horror through the Infinite Mining Area. A while ago, we happened to sell a batch of them! I wonder if Miss Wushuang has brought some with you?” Wushuang said calmly, “Sorry, I’m new to the Chaotic Wasteland and haven’t come into contact with this matter for the time being. However, I can ask my subordinates. Perhaps they should carry some with them. After all, several of them are specialized in transporting Clean Stones.” For a moment, the four factions including the City of Origin refused to admit that they had many Clean Stones. Of course, at this point, knowing there was the ominous here, how could they reveal the number of Clean Stones they really had if they were not stupid? The four major sects were shirking responsibility in terms of the Clean Stone. Wushuang glanced in the direction of the camp of the Capital of Horror. After a while, she said, “Everyone, wait a moment. Someone on our side can return to the Hundred Alliance City through the Sea of Stars and bring some Clean Stones over. However, the Clean Stones we bought from the City of Origin and the City of Scavengers have been shipped away in batches. I’m not sure how much is left.” After that, Wushuang signaled with her eyes, and someone from the Capital of Horror returned to his Origin Star. After the person left, Wushuang said, “As a necessary thing in the Chaotic Wasteland, I don’t believe you don’t have any. Both of you are strong masters with four Dao Locks, second only to the person in charge in your respective factions. You’re responsible for almost half of the matters in your respective fractions. Although you say you don’t have many Clean Stones, you should be able to take out hundreds of millions, right?” Wang Xiaojiu said, “Hey, how much do you two have? Tell us. If you can’t even make this little contribution at this time, believe it or not, I’ll kill you right now.” Mo Jiu also said, “You people are too scheming. This is a critical moment to find the Land of Inheritance. If we screw up because of the two of you, don’t blame us for being angry.” This time, the divine beasts didn’t argue with the ferocious beasts, because what Mo Jiu said was true. If because of these people, the 20,000 people couldn’t conquer the Mine Demon Stream, even if their divine beasts prided themselves on justice, they wouldn’t be able to help but touch the City of Origin and the City of Scavengers. For a moment, Luo Chen and An Shanbei felt as if they were constipated. The two of them were really annoyed, but they looked at Chen Tianya at the same time, thinking, If we’re besieged, you won’t have a good time either. However, Chen Tianya simply said, “I only have a total of 100 million Clean Stones. If you don’t believe me, you can let someone enter my Origin Star to investigate. I will release all the restrictions on my Origin Star. Really, I don’t mind at all.” After that, Chen Tianya sighed. “After all, our City of Wanderers is new here. In terms of heritage and strength, we’re definitely incomparable to the City of Origin and the City of Scavengers. I dare to open my Origin Star, but do you dare to? Do you have a lot of Clean Stones but are unwilling to contribute them to us?” Chen Tianya thought to himself, My Clean Stones are all on the Human Butcher, but who knows? Anyway, there are only ten people from the City of Wanderers here, and each of us has a little bit of Clean Stones with us in case of emergencies. Even if I take out all my 100 million Clean Stones, it won’t be a problem. Hearing what Chen Tianya said, Luo Chen and An Shanbei were already cursing in their hearts. This time, they had come fully prepared. The number of Clean Stones they carried with them exceeded one billion. At this moment, Wushuang’s men hadn’t returned yet, but if Luo Chen and An Shanbei didn’t give the others an explanation, they would immediately arouse everyone’s hostility. Of course, they wouldn’t be as bold as Chen Tianya. Fortunately, the Origin Star was the most secretive place for cultivators. Under normal circumstances, no one would allow anyone to secretly investigate their Origin Star. This time was no exception. An Shanbei said, “Our City of Origin can offer 300 million. Everyone, let me make it clear. There’s nothing more. Even if I return home, I won’t have any.” Luo Chen’s face turned black. This b*stard is forcing me to take out at least 300 million Clean Stones! Sure enough, Luo Chen said with an awful look, “Please forgive me, but I can only provide three hundred million. After all, the Clean Stones can only be earned by fighting ominous creatures. So, the supply of three hundred million Clean Stones means the death of three hundred million ominous creatures.” Wushuang said, “In view of the rarity of the Clean Stones, which can only be produced in the Chaotic Wasteland, we won’t take the Clean Stones in your hands for nothing. After this operation is over, we will take out some of our acquired resources and give them to you, or buy your Clean Stones at the original price. In any case, we won’t let you suffer a loss.” Wang Xiaojiu asked curiously, “Three hundred million plus three hundred million, that’s six hundred million.” Chen Tianya interjected, “I can take out eighty million, and the ten of us will keep twenty million. I don’t think anyone will have any objection, right?” Wang Xiaojiu tilted her head and glanced at Chen Tianya, and then said, “680 million, that’s a lot! Isn’t this enough to purify some Bloody Hand Mine Devils?” Chen Tianya said, “It’s hard to say. We have Clean Stones of all levels, including Explorer-level ones. For the Bloody Hand Mine Devils in the perfected Star Transformation Realm, it’s probably as useless as being bitten by an ant. Therefore, even with the supply of the Capital of Horror, even if the number of Clean Stones exceeds a billion, it might not be enough to kill tens of thousands of Bloody Hand Mine Devils.” Wang Xiaojiu was about to complain, when Chen Tianya continued, “However, if the Clean Stone is not used to deal with the Bloody Hand Mine Devil but to purify ourselves, then a billion will definitely be enough.” An Shanbei and Luo Chen echoed at the same time, “That’s right.” Finally, someone nodded. “So now it seems that the ominous crisis has been resolved?” Wushuang shook her head. “Not necessarily! The premise is that you aren’t seriously contaminated by the ominous. Otherwise, even the Clean Stone might not be able to completely purify you.” Someone said, “Of course. If everything is settled by this stone, why are so many of us here?” Han Fei said with a smile, “If you want fewer people to die, you’d better split the Clean Stones. If each of you gets tens of thousands, it might work.” Someone looked sideways. “What do you mean? Are these Clean Stones not enough?” Han Fei shrugged. “I didn’t say that. You should feel lucky that you found the Bloody Hand Mine Devil’s only weakness. I’m just reminding you that that thing is really strong. You can’t completely rely on this stone.” At this moment, a figure appeared out of thin air. It was the person from the Capital of Horror who had just entered his Origin Star. As soon as the person appeared, he nodded at Wushuang. Wushuang said, “Five hundred million. We happen to have the last batch of five hundred million in stock. We haven’t had the time to send them away.” 2592 First Exploration to the Mine Demon Stream The number of Clean Stones exceeded a billion, and everyone was relieved. As for the Clean Stones provided by Wushuang and the others, they weren’t provided for free. This required the return of resources, but as for the specific return, as they hadn’t explored the Mine Demon Stream yet, they couldn’t give a precise demand. After the Clean Stones were distributed, it was time to enter the Mine Demon Stream. Han Fei looked calm. No one knew what he was thinking, but most people guessed that Han Fei must be up to something. In fact, Han Fei was wondering if the Demon Vanquishing Tree had gone back on his word. Logically speaking, Old Yuan should have come out long ago. With Old Yuan’s soul, he could easily get a turtle egg. However, up to now, there was no news of Old Yuan, and Han Fei’s clone had disappeared without returning. This meant that up to now, Old Yuan hadn’t left Puppet City. This made Han Fei hostile to the Demon Vanquishing Tree. No matter what the reason was, it was a fact that Old Yuan didn’t come out. Therefore, Han Fei made up an excuse about the Land of Inheritance on this trip, partly for the Mine Demon Stream and partly to save Old Yuan. If the Demon Vanquishing Tree didn’t hand Old Yuan and his clone over, he would expose Puppet City. A group of people in the perfected Star Transformation Realm might not be able to take down Puppet City, but once Puppet City was exposed, Monarchs would definitely come. On this side, the leaders of the major factions returned one after another and began to beckon everyone to go down. Outside, they formed an array and prepared to go down the Mine Demon Stream. Some people had even secretly prepared some other forces. In the end, they didn’t trust Han Fei, so it was impossible for them to completely believe Han Fei’s one-sided story and rush down. Of course, most people thought that there were many people going down with me anyway. Even if there was a problem, there would be someone in front of me, and I wouldn’t be among the ones to die. Too many people had this idea, so no one rejected the exploration to the Mine Demon Stream. The leaders of the major factions all shouted, “Set up an array and enter the Land of Inheritance. Everyone, be vigilant. Don’t take it lightly. If you’re careless at this time, you will be doomed.” Someone shouted, “Be ready to activate the secret method at any time and burn your blood. If anything happens, this will be your greatest asset to escape.” Apart from the major factions, there were a lot of itinerant cultivators. Compared to these major factions, the greatest characteristic of itinerant cultivators was their unity. Someone shouted, “Everyone, we don’t have so many strong masters to protect us, nor do we have many trump cards. However, we have many people. In times of crisis, we have to help each other. Not only our own team members, but also any itinerant cultivator who is in trouble. This is the best way for our itinerant cultivators to survive in the Infinite Mining Area.” Someone smiled and said, “Of course. We’re indeed weak in background, but in terms of unity, we itinerant cultivators are really not afraid of those big forces. Only by helping each other can we go further and further.” … Compared to the Hundred Alliances, the divine beasts and ferocious beasts were much simpler. Mo Jiu shouted, “Everyone, listen up. Once you find that you can’t beat them, run to the strong masters. Although those things are all in the perfected Star Transformation Realm and their speed can reach the speed of light explosion, don’t panic. We are ferocious beasts, so we can resist their attacks. Also, once you find that you are really no match for them and are about to die, blow yourselves up. Then the nearby perfected Star Transformation Realm cultivators shall rush over. We must ensure that our compatriots can still survive.” The divine beasts said the same things as the ferocious beasts, but they divided their people into small groups, each with three or five divine beasts. … “Let’s go.” “Let’s go down.” Swish! Swish! Swish! More than 20,000 strong masters rushed into the Mine Demon Stream like dumplings. All of them were tense as if facing a great enemy, so they all maintained their peak combat power and could launch their strongest attacks at any time. More than 200 kilometers down the Mine Demon Stream, there were only ordinary late-stage Star Transformation Realm and peak-level late-stage Star Transformation Realm Mine Demons. These were actually nothing. There were all kinds of Mine demons. This was because they hadn’t seen the Bloody Hand Mine Devils yet. Instead, they encountered a group of Silver-Headed Sharks, a group of Phosphorescence Ribbon Fish, a group of Mine Spirit Crabs, and some other species. Originally, these mine demons just wanted to see who had come, but they were met with mystic rays and heavy blows. “Puff! Puff! Puff!” Bang! Bang! Bang! Knock, knock, knock! The combat power of the northern expedition army was quite terrifying. In the blink of an eye, all the ordinary mine demons were almost wiped out. The Mine Demon Stream had been accumulated for hundreds of thousands of years, so before these people reached the bottom of the Mine Demon Stream, there were countless mine demons rushing at them. Han Fei shouted, “This is what I said. There are not only Bloody Hand Mine Devils here, but also a large number of late-stage Star Transformation and peak-level late-stage Star Transformation Realm Mine Demons. There are a lot of them, probably more than 50,000.” However, someone laughed. “Fifty thousand means fifty thousand mineral resources. Kill.” Someone sneered. “We’re on a northern expedition now. We don’t lack strong masters at all. We can easily kill these 50,000 mine demons in the blink of an eye.” Someone exclaimed, “Haha! There are three level-five minerals.” Someone shouted, “This group of sea scorpions are all in the peak-level late-stage Star Transformation Realm. There are level-five minerals on their heads. Kill them!” Someone was shocked. “So many mine demons! We’re going to be rich!” Han Fei listened to the cheers of these people in silence. The Mine Demon Stream was narrow and couldn’t accommodate so many battles at once. It was not a good thing to have all kinds of forces collide with each other. Besides, they were immersed in excitement at the moment, because they hadn’t found the Bloody Hand Mine Devils yet. Instead, they got high-quality minerals one after another. If it were any other time, how could they have obtained so many minerals so easily? However, this excitement didn’t last long. Soon, someone shouted, “Who’s attacking randomly? Are you blind?” Someone burst into fury. “B*stards, the defense array I set up has been broken by your power. Why aren’t you stopping?” “Ahhh~” Someone was still fighting a moment ago, but the next moment, his body was suddenly pierced by a stream of water, and even his soul was destroyed. Seeing this person die, many people were startled. They hadn’t seen anything yet! Who was attacking this person? However, such a thing was still happening. “One, two, three…” Finally, someone sensed that something was wrong. “Attention to some of the water currents here. They seem to be the tentacles of some creature that turned into water currents.” However, it was already too late. The roots of the Demon Vanquishing Tree were unconscious. They instinctively attacked all intruders. Of course, there weren’t many of them. One root could only launch one attack. When everyone was consciously guarding against the roots, they could dodge and block them. However, because of the roots of the Demon Vanquishing Tree, many arrays were broken. With their arrays incomplete, these people faced the crazy attacks of tens of thousands of mine demons. The originally orderly northern expedition army was thrown into chaos, because twenty thousand strong masters were gathered in this narrow passage. “Puff! Puff! Puff!” Chi la! “Help me!” Boom! For a moment, the northern expedition army was scattered, and the number of dead cultivators rose straight up. On the other side, perhaps because the senses of the ferocious beasts and divine beasts exceeded that of ordinary cultivators, most of them could distinguish the roots of the Demon Vanquishing Tree and attack to destroy them. Because the bottom of the Mine Demon Stream was not far from the top, only more than 3,000 kilometers deep, when many people were fighting the Mine Demons, if they were not careful, they would take one more step and were directly flushed to the bottom of the water. The consequences of this sprint were immeasurable. Han Fei said to Chen Tianya telepathically, “Take your men to retreat. Be ready to go out at any time.” Chen Tianya was taken aback for a moment, but he didn’t doubt him. Along the way, he just needed to follow orders. Now that the situation was so chaotic, it was definitely not suitable for them to continue to explore. It seemed that they had to go out and regroup. Just as Chen Tianya retreated to the rear, he suddenly saw spots of light flashing. He saw bloody hands attacking him. Bang! Boom! “Puff ~” There weren’t many of them. At first, there were only a dozen or so, but then it became one or two hundred. The unstoppable situation of the northern expedition army was reversed the moment the Bloody Hand Mine Devils arrived. Almost every strike of the Bloody Hand Mine Devil could kill a strong master. Before anyone realized what was going on, they discovered that thousands of strong masters had died. At this time, Han Fei glanced at Wushuang. “Let’s retreat!” When Wushuang saw Chen Tianya retreating, she had already informed the team of the Capital of Horror to retreat. The ferocious beasts and divine beasts were very shrewd. Because they had a stronger perception of danger, they directly evacuated after confirming that the northern expedition army had fallen into chaos. Under such circumstances, it was not suitable for fighting at all. At this moment, Wushuang finally shouted, “Everyone, evacuate and give up on this exploration.” With that, Wushuang left, ignoring the others. The strong masters who had been fighting crazily and felt that there were minerals everywhere fled crazily, trying to rush out of the Mine Demon Stream. Too strong! It was not until the array was broken that they realized how horrifying the army of mine demons was. And that was not all. They saw with their own eyes that a Bloody Hand Mine Devil broke through the array and made ten peak-level late-stage Star Transformation Realm cultivators vomit blood. In less than half an hour, one figure after another rushed out of the Mine Demon Stream in a sorry state. When no one came out of the Mine Demon Stream anymore, Han Fei glanced at the current number of the northern expedition army, 12,998. Yes, in just half an hour, nearly a thousand people of the northern expedition army had died. On the other hand, neither the ferocious beasts nor the divine beasts were killed. Han Fei shook his head. “A bunch of garbage.” Someone immediately shouted, “What did you say?” Han Fei raised his head and sneered. “I said you were a bunch of garbage.” 2593 Second Exploration to the Mine Demon Stream Han Fei suddenly stood up. “I thought that by launching a northern expedition, I could sweep through the Bloody Hand Mine Devils here. But you people only care about petty profits. Is a level-five mineral very valuable? So what if it’s a level-six mineral? Can it be made into a godly weapon? An army of 20,000 people was abused by hundreds of Bloody Hand Mine Devils before you could even fight the Bloody Hand head-on. Aren’t you a bunch of garbage?” The big cat, Wang Xiaojiu, also stood up excitedly. “You’re really not good enough! The battle was so chaotic. Although you formed a ten-person formation, it doesn’t mean that seven or eight people don’t work. However, once one of you was defeated, the entire formation collapsed and you were all crushed. Look, none of us ferocious beasts died because we are not greedy.” Mo Jiu said, “Although Wang Xiaojiu’s words are unpleasant, what he said is true. The temporary northern expedition army is too inefficient in combat.” Even the white tiger of the divine beast lineage said, “This time, your northern expedition army was indeed in a mess. Just take the death of these thousand people as a lesson! But it should be a mess down there now. Maybe we should wait a few days before going down.” Han Fei shook his head. “We can’t wait. It wasn’t easy for us to gather all the other mine demons. There are probably more than 50,000 mine demons below now. God knows how long it will take for them to forget that someone has invaded. We should continue to fight, but not like just now.” Someone looked at Han Fei. “If we fight them now, their combat power will be several times ours.” Han Fei: “Mine demons are stupid, but are you stupid too? As long as your formation is not chaotic, you can fight even if there are ten thousand Bloody Hand Mine Devils down below. Of course, if you want to gain benefits, it’s impossible not to sacrifice. No matter when you go down, people will die. The difference is that if you fight randomly, you might be wiped out. But if you fight steadily, you can defeat them one by one.” A brawny man stood up. “Although I don’t like the Human Butcher, it was indeed a mess just now. Such a northern expedition army is vulnerable. You need to put down the minerals in front of you for the time being and distribute them after annihilating the mine demons.” Han Fei glanced at this person. His arms were covered with tattoos. In the battle just now, he seemed to have seen this person fight the Bloody Hand Mine Devils head-on. He was the leader of the Fist Light Mountain. However, as soon as this person said so, an itinerant cultivator said, “How are we going to distribute the minerals? The perfected Star Transformation Realm cultivators are different from our peak-level late-stage Star Transformation Realm cultivators!” A perfected Star Transformation Realm cultivator said, “I think that the peak-level late-stage Star Transformation Realm cultivators can get 30% of all resources.” “That’s bulls*it. We’ll take 30%, and you’ll take 70%? Believe it or not, I’m going home now!” Someone sneered. “Do you think you can come and go as you please?” An itinerant cultivator sneered. “Why? Who the hell are you? Believe it or not, I’ll kill you right now!” The perfected Star Transformation Realm cultivator sneered. “Feng Lun? I’m told that your knife is very fast. I don’t know if your knife is still fast after you reach the perfected Star Transformation Realm, but I can try it.” “Shut up, all of you.” At this time, Wushuang stood up and said, “As the number one force in the Hundred Alliance City, I think the Capital of Horror is more qualified to speak than others. First of all, the people who participated in the northern expedition are all here to risk their lives. The lives of the peak-level late-stage Star Transformation Realm cultivators and the perfected Star Transformation Realm cultivators are the same. And finding the inheritance is something that requires concerted effort. Therefore, I suggest that the resources be divided evenly, and everyone can supervise each other and not be allowed to annex the mineral without authorization. After the war, the minerals will be distributed among those who are still alive evenly. After all, everyone risked their lives to get the minerals.” “I agree.” A young man from the Divine Capital Dynasty slowly raised his hand. “Perfected Star Transformation Realm cultivators, don’t forget that you’re not here just for the minerals. As long as you’re willing, there are plenty of ways to obtain the minerals. Now is the time to work together. We can’t split up because of the uneven distribution of internal resources in the early stages of the northern expedition. That way, none of us will benefit.” Someone echoed, “I agree. Let’s settle the score after the battle is over. Otherwise, we’ll be wiped out before the enemy is finished.” “We itinerant cultivators don’t have any objections.” “We peak-level late-stage Star Transformation Realm cultivators don’t have any objections either. In fact, appearing here, we’re bolder than you perfected Star Transformation Realm cultivators.” Although many perfected Star Transformation Realm cultivators were unhappy, they didn’t speak anymore. Yes, if they jumped out now, it would ruin the harmony. Their leaders also warned them. Although this was a northern expedition, the real say was only in the hands of these leaders and strong masters. Once they made a scene, they might be killed. Wushuang said, “Since there are no objections, let’s take an hour off, restore to our peak state, and get ready for battle. This time, don’t scramble for resources randomly. All the forces, select one person to supervise, one person in the team to collect minerals, and the other members can supervise each other, and the resources will be divided when the battle ends.” “Supervise?” Someone nodded. Every force selected one person to supervise, so the supervision effect would be good. Even if the supervisors were attacked, they wouldn’t all die. The final supervision result would be very credible. At this time, someone stood up. “I am Yu Bo, the leader of the Grand Development Sect in the Central Sea Divine Realm. In the battle just now, 998 strong masters died in the northern expedition army, and a total of 6,203 mine demons were killed. In fact, the battle result is not bad. It’s just that the appearance of the Bloody Hand Mine Devils seriously disrupted the rhythm. Otherwise, the result would not have been like this.” Everyone’s heart skipped a beat. There was actually someone who could calculate all of this. In the complicated situation just now, God knew who fought and who was killed. But now, they found that there was really such a talent in the northern expedition army. Then this supervisor team obviously had a spot for this person. He must have announced the data to join the supervisor team! Suddenly, someone asked in confusion, “Have you forgotten something? Almost a thousand of us died, and more than 6,000 mine demons perished. But why hasn’t the weather changed at all?” “Huh!” For a moment, everyone was stunned. Even Han Fei was stunned. Yes, so many people had died, but there wasn’t even a Great Dao crack in the sky. Wasn’t this strange? “There’s a seal.” Immediately, everyone realized that there must be a seal down the Mine Demon Stream. Otherwise, how could the weather be normal when thousands of strong masters died? Some leaders looked at Han Fei, and Han Fei said casually, “If it weren’t for the seal, the Bloody Hand Mine Devils would have left here long ago. We wouldn’t have had a chance to fight them. Not only the Bloody Hand Mine Devils appear in the outside world, but the ominous power will also spread in the outside world. So, this is not a big deal, because the seal is not aimed at us. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have been able to get out at all.” With Han Fei’s explanation, everyone understood and didn’t dwell on this problem. … Two hour later. The northern expedition army, the divine beasts and the ferocious beasts, entered the Mine Demon Stream again. Just as Han Fei expected, the mine demons here hadn’t completely left. He spread out his senses and found at least 30,000 mine demons of various kinds and nearly 50 Bloody Hand Mine Devils. The moment the northern expedition army entered the Mine Demon Stream, these mine demons swarmed over again. However, this time, adhering to the lesson from last time, the formation of the northern expedition army didn’t disperse, so when the first wave rushed over, the nearest thousands of mine demons were shattered the moment they collided with the northern expedition army. After all, they were facing the strength equivalent to ten people. Bang! Bang! Bang! After the initial defense succeeded, the speed of light explosion appeared again. Someone shouted, “Don’t be distracted. Just send all your strength to one person.” The strong masters in each team who had gathered their strength responded smartly when they saw a Bloody Hand Mine Devil coming at them. Blade auras spread out, rod shadows struck like a heavenly pillar, and strange flames burned. Therefore, after multiple clashes and explosions, a Bloody Hand Mine Devil was finally shattered because the person who gathered the strength of ten people could unleash a power much stronger than that of the Bloody Hand Mine Devil. Therefore, this time, the northern expedition army showed the qualities of a strong master again. Buzz— The battle lasted for about half an hour, and the number of Bloody Hand Mine Devils gradually began to increase. At first, there were only more than three hundred, but then more than a thousand came one after another. Some people resisted them, and some didn’t. There was a team, and someone was emitting black gas. At that moment, this person crumbled a lot of Clean Stones, and then he felt that his soul was burning. Yes, that ominous power had already tried to invade the bodies of various races. While the man was purifying himself, his formation was broken. In the next moment, a Slaughter Punch broke through the formation. The formation collapsed, and the nine people all took out their Clean Stones, and the dazzling white light directly purified the bloody hand. However, once a loophole was found, what came was no longer one Bloody Hand Mine Devil. When three Bloody Hand Mine Devils came at once, even though the team released Star Beads one after another, some of them were torn apart by a single claw and even their souls couldn’t escape. Twenty minutes. Half an hour passed. Two hours. When the number of the Bloody Hand Mine Devils reached more than 3,000, the northern expedition army suffered a lot of casualties. In just two hours, they had encountered more than 3,000 Bloody Hand Mine Devils, and more than 800 people had died. Of course, this time was different from last time. This time, more than thirteen thousand ordinary mine demons were killed. In the northern expedition army, many people shouted, “Don’t panic. Even if there are fewer people in the team, the array can’t be broken…” 2594 Battle in the Mine Demon Stream While everyone was fighting, Han Fei was also fighting. However, his battle was even more violent. Han Fei took the Slaughter Fist of a Bloody Hand Mine Devil with his bare hands, clasped it with one hand, and then tore one of the Bloody Hand Mine Devil’s arms apart. Then, with another punch, the Bloody Hand Mine Devil’s entire body exploded. “Hiss ~” Many people secretly exclaimed. Is this guy so strong? This was truly a large-scale battle between cultivators. In terms of combat power, it was even crazier than when Han Fei controlled the Star Sea Metal-eating Ants. Once the northern expedition army maintained their formation, even if the Bloody Hand Mine Devils attacked personally, it wouldn’t be able to shake the formation. Once the Bloody Hand Mine Devil’s attack failed, there would be a shower of Clean Stones. The moment a large number of Clean Stones erupted, the Bloody Hand Mine Devils’ weakness was grasped. Someone gathered all the strength of the ten-person team, broke the defense of the Bloody Hand Mine Devil with one blow, and then launched multiple soul attacks in a row. Although the Bloody Hand Mine Devil was a level-seven mine demon, its intelligence was not comparable to that of intelligent races like them. It didn’t know that if its attack failed, it should immediately retreat. Therefore, Han Fei saw a large number of Bloody Hand Mine Devils die. And the best to deal with the Bloody Hand Mine Devils was the divine beasts. It had to be said that divine beasts could be classified as divine beasts not because they looked good, but because their Great Daos had the power of purification. Although their Great Daos were different, the effects were the same. For example, Han Fei saw a fiery python that turned into flames. At the moment the Bloody Hand Mine Devil bombarded him, the flames were filled with pure fire origin energy, which actually stiffened the Bloody Hand Mine Devil. Then, it rolled its body and grabbed the Bloody Hand Mine Devil tightly. Although the other party was extremely powerful, he still couldn’t break free and could only be burned to death by the pure fire origin energy. A blue horse with a single horn on its head could summon pure lightning. Lightning had the power of purification in the first place, so the Bloody Hand Mine Devil was electrocuted to death before it approached the blue horse. Han Fei was surprised. This was the suppression of attributes! There were actually many divine beasts with similar attributes. But the fighting style of the ferocious beasts was different from that of the divine beasts. These ferocious beasts could be said to be quite valiant. For example, the leader of the ferocious beasts, Mo Jiu, whose speed completely crushed the Bloody Hand Mine Devils. His sharp claws could even break the defense of the Bloody Hand Mine Devils. Even Han Fei didn’t dare to say that he could break the defense of the Bloody Hand Mine Devils so easily. As for the big cat, Wang Xiaojiu, his speed was even faster than Mo Jiu, making many people experience what speed was for the first time. That guy’s speed was nearly 30 times the speed of light. Under such extreme speed, Wang Xiaojiu scratched crazily and directly tore the Bloody Hand Mine Devil into pieces. Han Fei even saw Wang Xiaojiu open his mouth and swallow the dispersing black smoke and the distorted soul. As for the Ice Pattern Spider, her body was surrounded by extremely cold Dao runes. Any mine demon that approached her would be severely slowed down. Then, the spider’s two sharp claws, like two extremely cold blades, cut open the Dao of Strength of the mine demon. Then, dark green toxins seeped in. Any mine demon that was poisoned would fall into chaos and fight wildly. In less than ten seconds, their bodies would begin to freeze and they would die. Han Fei observed the battle while fighting. He had to admit that this was a feast for the eyes. Before, he didn’t think that the northern expedition army could break through the Mine Demon Stream, but now, it was not impossible. After the battle lasted for six hours, most of the ordinary mine demons had died. Although no one had set foot in the Mine Demon Stream for tens of thousands of years, causing many mine demons of the Sky Opening realm to be born here, the space and resources here were relatively limited. In addition to the fighting between the mine demons and some of the mine demons that had already escaped, there couldn’t be many ordinary mine demons here. In just six hours, Han Fei witnessed the death of nearly 50,000 mine demons. And more than 3,000 Bloody Hand Mine Devils died. Of course, although the northern expedition army was strong, the consumption was a lot. Besides, even Han Fei couldn’t find anything wrong with this battle, but the number of cultivators killed still exceeded a thousand. This couldn’t be helped. So many mine demons were not for nothing. A team could kill one or two mine demons at the same time, but they couldn’t kill five or six. Ordinary mine demons were also mine demons. They were also in the Sky Opening Realm and their physique was very strong. How could it be possible that no one was injured after 50,000 Sky Opening Realm mine demons were killed in six hours? Fortunately, they hadn’t officially descended to the bottom of the Mine Demon Stream yet. There weren’t many Bloody Hand Mine Devils here. Once they entered the Mine Demon Stream and such a terrifying battle broke out again, the situation might be reversed. At this moment, because ordinary mine demons were gradually dying, only the Bloody Hand Mine Devils were left. Han Fei was waiting to see if the Bloody Hand Mine Devils would team up. He wasn’t sure if the hand under the spring of blood could control these Bloody Hand Mine Devils. At this moment, the supervisors were the busiest. They were counting the distribution of the minerals and the corpses of the dead cultivators. They would not allow the corpses of these people to be taken away by a certain fraction alone. After all, these were the corpses of peak-level late-stage Star Transformation Realm cultivators. In addition to their Origin Stars, they definitely had some modified stars. Furthermore, there must be a lot of resources on their Origin Stars. Everyone took a breath in relief. Although they had witnessed the deaths of thousands of peak-level late-stage Star Transformation Realm cultivators, they still felt that they had made a fortune this time. Just the 50,000 mine demons and the level-seven minerals produced by the Bloody Hand Mine Devils meant that they had obtained at least more than 3,000 godly weapons. Of course, the resources of the ferocious beasts and the divine beasts wouldn’t be shared with the northern expedition army. They had their own way of fighting and basically didn’t need the help of the northern expedition army. Another hour later, when the last Bloody Hand Mine Devil perished, everyone knew that there shouldn’t be any Bloody Hand Mine Devils near the sea now. However, they knew even better that they hadn’t reached the bottom of the Mine Demon Stream yet. They didn’t know what the real Mine Demon Stream was like yet. At this moment, the white tiger said, “Hey, can you still fight? If you can, go down and take a look. You have to try.” Wushuang suggested, “Let’s have an exchange of views.” Mo Jiu said, “What’s there to talk about? This isn’t a victory yet. It’s just an appetizer. Now that the northern expedition army is in peak condition, it’s a good time to take the initiative to attack.” Ignoring White Tiger and Mo Jiu, Wushuang asked the leaders telepathically, “What do you think?” After witnessing the strength of the Bloody Hand Mine Devils, someone responded, “I think we can continue. Although there are a lot of Mine Demons in this place, we can still handle them.” Someone replied, “We can continue. We’re mainly facing ordinary mine demons now. In fact, these mine demons didn’t cause much damage to us. Half of the casualties were killed by the three thousand Bloody Hand Mine Devils. However, without the interference of these ordinary mine demons, I don’t think the subsequent battles will be very fierce.” “Seconded. Although the six-hour battle is exhausting, the weakest cultivator of our northern expedition army is in the peak-level late-stage Star Transformation Realm. Our endurance is not so poor. We can still fight.” Everybody agreed, and Wushuang didn’t say anything, but she still asked Han Fei for his opinion. Wushuang asked, “What do you think?” Han Fei said, “I have no objection, but let me remind you that the main enemy in the battle just now was not the Bloody Hand Mine Devil. Besides, you should note that half of the Bloody Hand Mine Devils were killed by the divine beasts and the ferocious beasts. If you continue to fight, you’d better not underestimate your enemy.” This time, no one argued with Han Fei, because what he said was true. Besides, he didn’t sound like he wanted the northern expedition army to suffer heavy casualties. This at least showed that it wasn’t the time for Han Fei to burn the bridge after crossing it. Some scheming people were glad to see this attitude of Han Fei. After the painful lesson, everybody in the northern expedition army had learned their lesson. They had to keep alive to get resources. The 15,000-strong northern expedition army was now less than 12,000, but the resources were constantly increasing. Therefore, the more people died in the early stages, the more the survivors would get. Participating in the northern expedition was an act of gambling with one’s life. The reason why so many people participated was that most people who came to the Infinite Mining Area were gambling with their lives. Instead of hanging around in the Hundred Alliance City and relying on some small mining areas to slowly grow, it was better to do something big at once. If they succeeded, it would be equivalent to thousands of years of cultivation. If they failed, their lives would be lost. Was it a loss? No one felt that it was a loss. They had witnessed the departure of too many companions. Which one of them who survived wasn’t strong-willed? And all those who came to the Infinite Mining Area had the determination to prove their Dao! Therefore, when everyone agreed and continued to explore, they formed arrays again and once again turned into ten-person teams. … At the bottom of the Mine Demon Stream, everyone was ready to erupt at any time. The moment they descended to the bottom of the Mine Demon Stream, their first reaction was of course to sweep with their perception, but perhaps because they had killed all the Bloody Hand Mine Devils near the entrance, they didn’t find any Bloody Hand Mine Devils at first. However, they all discovered a problem. Under this Mine Demon Stream, there was a different world inside. The entrance was only a thousand kilometers wide, but below, their perception couldn’t reach the end. God knew how big it was. At this time, Han Fei had become the tour guide. The big cat, Wang Xiaojiu, rushed to Han Fei and said, “Human Butcher, do you have a name?” Han Fei said, “You can call me Human Emperor. You might know my name one day.” Wang Xiaojiu said, “I’m afraid that that day won’t come. I heard that you have many enemies. Many people in the northern expedition army want you dead.” Mo Jiu was speechless. Wang Xiaojiu, what are you talking about? I just told you not to get too close to this person. Why did you keep talking to him when you knew he was going to die? Han Fei grinned and said, “Really? Too many people want me dead, but nobody can kill me.” Wang Xiaojiu tilted his head and stared at Han Fei with her round cat eyes. “You’re quite confident. How about this? You can secretly share the essence of the Great Monarch’s inheritance with me, and I’ll protect you. As a ferocious beast, I’m a man of my word. I promise you in my capacity as a cat.” Han Fei glanced at him speechlessly. “It has no essence. You might not believe it, but I was kicked out of the place of inheritance of the Great Monarch Bloody Hand before I could enter it.” 2595 Northern Expedition Army Suffering Heavy Casualties (2 in 1) “Hiss!” Wang Xiaojiu widened his cat eyes and exclaimed, “How is it possible? I think you are very strong! Those having less than three Great Dao Locks are definitely not your match. You have four Dao Locks, right? Who can beat you out?” Han Fei didn’t hide his conversation with Wang Xiaojiu, because Han Fei didn’t want to treat it as a secret. After all, they would definitely find out later that there were far more than 30,000 Bloody Hand Mine Devils under the Mine Demon Stream. To remind them that I don’t know much about the Land of Inheritance. Of course, it’s not up to me whether you believe it or not. Sure enough, when Han Fei said this, it did cause many people to speculate. In fact, many people were secretly observing Han Fei. Although the Human Butcher started off as a pirate, he was indeed very strong. Someone had suspected that Han Fei had at least four or even five Dao Locks since he could kill seven Dao Lock-level cultivators on his own. Now, hearing Han Fei say that he was kicked out without even seeing the Land of Inheritance, whether it was true or not, at least they were vigilant. After rushing for about 500,000 kilometers, they didn’t see any Bloody Hand Mine Devils, but they did encounter a lot of invisible water veins, which were the roots of the Demon Vanquishing Tree. However, at this moment, everyone was walking in arrays, so the roots weren’t very useful. After all, none of the people on this trip were weak. After crossing more than two million kilometers, many people perceived the existence of the Bloody Hand Mine Devils. Just like what Han Fei saw when he first came down, these Bloody Hand Mine Devils were standing upright in the water, absorbing the mineral power of the Mine Demon Stream. On most of the Bloody Hand Mine Devils, there were Flash Lizards attached to them. When the first perception touched the Bloody Hand Mine Devil, a Flash Lizard had already looked at the person. Wushuang and the others all shouted, “Prepare to face the enemy.” When the leaders shouted to face the enemy, they saw light explosions one after another, and there were even Bloody Hand Mine Devils jumping over. Such a short distance was nothing for the Bloody Hand Mine Devils. As the saying went, once there was one, there would be two. When the first Bloody Hand Mine Devil moved, it seemed to wake up the other Bloody Hand Mine Devils who were cultivating. As a result, there were many light explosions. In terms of perception, the Bloody Hand Mine Devils were actually very strong. Han Fei knew the reason why there were only more than three thousand Bloody Hand Mine Devils at the entrance. That was because the entrance was sealed by the Mystic Martial Armor, once the Bloody Hand Mine Devil attacked, it would be instantly purified. In the long run, even if the Bloody Hand Mine Devils had no intelligence, they generally wouldn’t go to the entrance. But it was different below the Mine Demon Stream. Here, the Bloody Hand Mine Devils would not be afraid. They were the masters here. Wang Xiaojiu was next to Han Fei at this moment. When he saw the Bloody Hand Mine Devils, he muttered, “There are only dozens of them. We still need to fight for a while to attract more.” However, as soon as Wang Xiaojiu said so, dozens of them became hundreds. Han Fei tilted his head and glanced at Wang Xiaojiu. “The Bloody Hand Mine Devil is very fast and arrives in the blink of an eye. Not everyone can afford the price of underestimating their enemy.” As Han Fei expected, it only took three seconds for hundreds to thousands of Bloody Hand Mine Devils to appear. Han Fei was not surprised at all. It took him three years to reach the blood spring. Even though he was in the form of black fog, he was repeatedly discovered. When he was discovered, he could only run for his life. Now that so many people from the northern expedition army had broken in openly, it would be strange if the Bloody Hand Mine Devils didn’t gang up on them. When the number of Bloody Hand Mine Devils increased to three or four thousand, someone finally realized that something was wrong. Many leaders shouted at Han Fei, “Why are there so many Bloody Hand Mine Devils? Isn’t it said that there are only more than 30,000 Bloody Hand Mine Devils? Why has one-tenth of them suddenly come?” Although there were still nearly 20,000 people in the northern expedition army, including ferocious beasts and divine beasts, there were still too many Bloody Hand Mine Devils! They could block one Bloody Hand Mine Devil with a single jump and flash, but what about a hundred or even a thousand? Even if they moved in arrays, there was always an order. The Bloody Hand Mine Devils didn’t know what order was. Instead, all they knew was to use Slaughter Fists and Bloody Claw. An array could resist one or two, but it couldn’t resist the attacks of multiple Bloody Hand Mine Devils at the same time. In the blink of an eye, dozens of arrays were broken. This time, they were completely broken, not just had one or two loopholes. The people who were scattered were horrified. They scattered the Clean Stones on their bodies and tried their best to escape behind the army. However, there were always Bloody Hand Mine Devils appearing in front of them, punching them and blowing them up in the next second. This scene was different from the battle at the entrance. At that time, the battle was too complicated and there were ordinary mine demons interfering. This time, there was no such thing. After nearly 200 people died under this round of attack in just dozens of seconds, more and more people questioned Han Fei. Someone shouted, “Human Butcher, are you lying? Why are there so many Bloody Hand Mine Devils here?” Someone questioned, “Human Butcher, what else are you hiding?” However, Han Fei had already thought of a countermeasure. He said, “Did I hide anything from you? Look carefully, there are less than 5,000 Bloody Hand Mine Devils coming at us. However, the combat power of these Bloody Hand Mine Devils is completely different from the previous batch. It was chaos just now, but now it’s a showdown. Besides, when I came in, I didn’t fight among so many Bloody Hand Mine Devils, but deceived their perception and sneaked over.” Someone shouted, “Then why is the number of Bloody Hand Mine Devils still increasing? If I’ve guessed right, all the Bloody Hand Mine Devils within tens of millions of kilometers have been attracted to us.” Han Fei was also angry. “If you still have the time to ask me, then fight hard. This is the f*cking inheritance land of a Great Monarch. If it’s really so easy to enter, the Great Monarch will have no face. Calm down. This kind of impact only happens once. After this round of impact, it will be our home ground.” Han Fei didn’t feel guilty at all. You asked to come, and I didn’t force you. In fact, if there were only three or four thousand Bloody Hand Mine Devils in this round of attacks, it wouldn’t be a big deal. More importantly, Han Fei wondered if the Bloody Hand Mine Devils would be controlled by that Bloody Hand. This was very likely. As the Demon Vanquishing Tree had said, the Bloody Hand Mine Devils had attacked Puppet City more than once and also attacked the seal more than once. The Bloody Hand Mine Devils didn’t have the wits to team up to attack, so someone must be controlling them. And the only thing that could control them couldn’t be the Demon Vanquishing Tree, so it could only be the suppressed bloody hand. In fact, as Han Fei expected, the number of Bloody Hand Mine Devils gradually increased to five thousand, and more were coming. In the beginning, only more than 200 members of the northern expedition army had died, but the situation had just stabilized slightly, when the Bloody Hand Mine Devils behind kept replenishing, which was unbearable for many teams. Someone threw out tens of thousands of Clean Stones in an attempt to purify the Bloody Hand Mine Devil that attacked their team. However, this person was torn apart by another bloody claw. The invincible divine beasts and demonic beasts didn’t feel well either. In just a short while, more than 50 ferocious beasts had died. Only the divine beasts were slightly better. All the divine beasts with the power of purification immediately came to the periphery, enveloping the other divine beasts. At this moment, they couldn’t run. If he ran, it would be equivalent to leaving their backs to these Bloody Hand Mine Devils. Therefore, the northern expedition army, together with the divine beasts and ferocious beasts, could only retreat strategically. It was a little slow, but relatively safe. It wasn’t that the army didn’t want to push forward, but that the Bloody Hand Mine Devils’ attack was too ferocious and they couldn’t push forward at all. In just half an hour, the number of Bloody Hand Mine Devils had increased to more than 8,000, and there were still Bloody Hand Mine Devils coming. The short journey of several million kilometers took them a whole hour. When they retreated to the entrance but didn’t leave the Mine Demon Stream, they found that the Bloody Hand Mine Devils stopped chasing them. At this moment, they finally realized that these Bloody Hand Mine Devils were controlled. Yes, someone was controlling these Bloody Hand Mine Devils. At this moment, the army stopped, all looking awful. In the supervisor team, a supervisor said, “The second time we came down, we killed a total of 51,204 ordinary mine demons and 9,201 Bloody Hand Mine Devils. 2,902 people from the northern expedition army died, 309 from the ferocious beasts and 198 from the divine beast died.” This statistical result really shocked everyone. Before they went down to the bottom of the mine, only a thousand people from the northern expedition army had died. But after only an hour, nearly two thousand more had died? Someone was horrified. “The northern expedition army came with more than 15,000 people, but now there are only 10,062 left. But we’ve only killed 12,000 Bloody Hand Mine Devils!” This time, before anyone questioned Han Fei. Han Fei said, “If I’ve guessed right, it should be the power left behind by the Great Monarch Bloody Hand. It’s either his consciousness, a soul fragment, or something else. This thing is manipulating the Bloody Hand Mine Devils, just like how I was beaten out before I could enter the Land of Inheritance.” Someone said, “Why didn’t you mention it before?” Han Fei said, “Are you stupid? I explored this place alone and avoided these Bloody Hand Mine Devils, so I didn’t know that they could be organized. It’s not too late for you to know now!” Suddenly, someone asked, “Human Butcher, how did you know that there are more than 30,000 Bloody Hand Mine Devils here?” Han Fei said, “Based on the distance. To be honest, I explored for a full three years and finally found the entrance to the Land of Inheritance. In the past three years, I’ve basically walked all the paths ahead of the Land of Inheritance.” Someone’s expression changed slightly. “What do you mean? Do you mean that there’s a road behind the Land of Inheritance?” Han Fei was silent for a moment. “I’m not sure. I haven’t explored it.” Seeing that Han Fei didn’t know the answer, many people immediately understood. It was not that he didn’t know, but he didn’t want to say it. Everyone knew that it was impossible for Han Fei to tell all the information to them. Now, the problem had come. Firstly, the Bloody Hand Mine Devils could be controlled. Secondly, the information Han Fei provided before that there were 30,000 Bloody Hand Mine Devils might not be valid now. However, they couldn’t blame him. This was because the northern expedition army, plus the divine beasts and ferocious beasts, couldn’t easily take this place. How could Han Fei have known the danger here alone? Yes, when people were in extreme trouble, they would instinctively find excuses for others. They felt that even if Han Fei had five Dao Locks, it was impossible for him to completely explore the Mine Demon Stream alone. However, they were not Han Fei. How could they know Han Fei’s capabilities? They could only use themselves as a reference to find an excuse for Han Fei. At this moment, Han Fei said, “The Bloody Hand Mine Devils can be controlled. I didn’t know it before. Now it seems that maybe the Great Monarch Bloody Hand still has a remnant soul or will left here. Everyone, if you don’t want to continue exploring, you can divide up the gains from this trip and give up this northern expedition now.” In fact, Han Fei’s words tempted many peak-level late-stage Star Transformation Realm cultivators. After all, too many people had died. There were 15,000 people in the northern expedition army, but one third of them had died before they reached the real entrance of the inheritance land. If they continued to fight, it was a question whether there would be 5,000 people left. However, Han Fei’s words were immediately rejected. Come on, it wasn’t easy to find this place and organize a northern expedition, nor to let these people pave the way as cannon fodder. Who would be willing to disband the northern expedition army now? Opportunities never come again. If they couldn’t get the inheritance here this time, then in a few months or at most a year, a large number of strong masters would come to the Infinite Mining Area, and even Monarchs would come in person. At that time, even if they could still come to this place, they would definitely not be the leaders. No matter how powerful the inheritance here was, it might have nothing to do with them. Therefore, someone directly objected. “I disagree. The northern expedition army has made such a huge sacrifice. If we give up now, won’t the sacrifices be in vain?” Someone echoed, “That’s right. Although we suffered heavy casualties in the second battle, our results are not bad this time. We killed more than 50,000 ordinary peak-level late-stage Star Transformation Realm mine demons and nearly 10,000 Bloody Hand Mine Devils. This is already a huge improvement compared to the previous time.” Someone agreed. “I think so too. A large number of people died. That’s because we haven’t adapted to the fighting habits of the Bloody Hand Mine Devils. In addition, I think that there are some problems with the timing of your use of Clean Stones, which needs to be adjusted. I think that we can recover for another day and then attack again.” Wushuang said, “We’re already here. There’s no reason to give up halfway. In theory, even if there are more than 30,000 Bloody Hand Mine Devils, they won’t be able to withstand our repeated attacks. Although it’s vast here, the number of Bloody Hand Mine Devils must be limited. Otherwise, this place wouldn’t be able to nurture so many perfected Star Transformation Realm mine demons.” Since even Wushuang had expressed that she wanted to continue, no one objected. Even if some peak-level late-stage Star Transformation Realm cultivators wanted to leave, the resources were not in their hands, and they had no say. Besides, they also wanted to take a chance. Therefore, they decided to rest for a day before going to war again. During the break. Different from the northern expedition army, the divine beasts and the ferocious beasts had distributed the resources they gained. While the northern expedition army was resting, the two parties were dividing up the resources. Among them, the ferocious beasts had piled up level-seven and level-six minerals and those below level six. The northern expedition army was all jealous. There were 1,800 level-seven minerals, 5,000 level-six minerals, and 40,000 minerals below level six in that batch. This was all the gains of the ferocious beasts so far, but these guys were really shockingly strong. Only 3,800 ferocious beasts came this time. More than 3,800 people had killed 1,800 Bloody Hand Mine Devils, which showed the terrifying combat power of the ferocious beasts. The divine beasts were also allocating resources. They had 2,100 level-seven minerals, more than 6,000 level-six ones, but only about 20,000 below level six. It could be seen that in the face of ordinary enemies, the ferocious beasts were obviously more destructive. In the face of the Bloody Hand Mine Devil, there was no telling if it was because of the natural suppression of the divine beasts, but the divine beasts were stronger. On the other hand, the northern expedition army had sacrificed five thousand people and acquired about eight thousand level-seven minerals, twenty-five thousand level-six minerals, and a total of 180,000 minerals below level six. Of course, this was all their gains since this northern expedition started. However, if they were distributed evenly, each person would get almost one level-seven mineral and three level-six minerals. However, this gain was clearly not much compared to the current sacrifice. Of course, as the battle continued, everyone would get more. Those who benefited in the end might be more delighted! … One day later. Everyone had returned to their peak state. After the latest discussion, they decided to clear the way with Clean Stones from the moment they encountered the Bloody Hand Mine Devils. The total number of Clean Stones distributed in everyone’s hands was a billion. However, the consumption of the previous battles was quite high. However, everyone knew that a hundred Clean Stones were not enough for the Bloody Hand Mine Devils. Only a thousand Clean Stones could shake one Bloody Hand Mine Devil. To purify one Bloody Hand Mine Devil, it might take ten thousand Clean Stones. But to use thousands of Clean Stones at once, this level of resource consumption was terrifying. Therefore, in just these two battles,100 million of the 1.1 billion Clean Stones had already been used. However, compared to the Clean Stones, their lives were naturally more important. The third exploration. They went deep into the bottom of the Mine Demon Stream. This time, they went five million kilometers down, and a large number of Bloody Hand Mine Devils raided them again. Bang! Bang! Bang! In order to deal with the first round of attacks by the Bloody Hand Mine Devils, more than ten million Clean Stones were released at the beginning of the battle. Although it still couldn’t completely stop the deaths, this time, only dozens of people died in the impact. It was much stronger than the last time when hundreds of people were killed in one wave. Of course, it would definitely cost some Clean Stones. The first round of attacks by the Bloody Hand Mine Devils lasted less than a hundred seconds. Although more Bloody Hand Mine Devils came later, the number no longer increased on a large scale, but increased one after another. With the previous experience, this time, no one was stingy with the Clean Stones in their hands. In fact, many peak-level late-stage Star Transformation Realm cultivators had already figured out that they would have no chance to get a share of the real inheritance of the Great Monarch. Too many people here coveted the inheritance of the Great Monarch. They had no resources at all except for the more than 50,000 Clean Stones distributed to them by the strong masters. It was almost impossible for them to compete for the greatest opportunity. Therefore, what they could compete for was resources that the real strong masters didn’t want. The perfected Star Transformation Realm cultivators were not interested in these resources because they were already perfected Star Transformation Realm cultivators. But the peak-level late-stage Star Transformation Realm cultivators were interested because the level-seven mineral could create enough conditions for them to advance to the perfected Star Transformation Realm. Once they reached the perfected Star Transformation Realm, although the level-seven mineral was still precious, they wouldn’t have to risk their lives to obtain it. An hour later. The battle had reached a point where the northern expedition army couldn’t hold on anymore. This was because the number of Bloody Hand Mine Devils had completely exceeded 10,000. This meant that almost every squad was facing seven or eight Bloody Hand Mine Devils. Fortunately, the divine beasts and the ferocious beasts shared the pressure. Otherwise, the northern expedition army would probably retreat again. More than two hours later, a member of the supervisor team roared, “Everyone, we’ve killed more than ten thousand Bloody Hand Mine Devils.” This reminder shocked many people. A large number of Clean Stones were squandered in exchange for the death of ten thousand Bloody Hand Mine Devils. However, they discovered that while they were still fighting the Bloody Hand Mine Devils, the other party’s number remained around ten thousand. Three hours later. A team member shouted, “Request a temporary retreat. We’ve used up all our Clean Stones.” Someone shouted angrily, “Why are there still so many Bloody Hand Mine Devils? Didn’t they say there were 30,000? It should be enough now, right?” Some teams had run out of Clean Stones, and the Bloody Hand Mine Devils found an opportunity to break up their array. Bang! Bang! Bang! In the light of purification, only a few places were not covered by the light of purification. The Bloody Hand Mine Devils would definitely be the first to rush up. Therefore, the first squad of ten that was completely wiped out appeared. After fighting for such a long time, although the number of enemies killed had soared, when the Clean Stones were used up, those people became live targets. Almost every team that ran out of Clean Stones was wiped out in an instant. It wasn’t easy for the ferocious beasts and divine beasts either. This was because the ferocious beasts had started to use the Clean Stones. However, they didn’t use it on the Bloody Hand Mine Devils, but on themselves. In the end, there were too few of them, but there were too many Bloody Hand Mine Devils. The prolonged battle had greatly increased the probability of them being contaminated. Their own resistance was insufficient, so they could only resolve it with Clean Stones. And in this place, nearly 500 strong masters of the ferocious beasts died. The situation was better on the side of the divine beasts. Only about 200 of them died, but the combat power of the divine beasts had obviously plummeted. They must have used too much power. Mo Jiu and the white tiger both shouted, “Retreat first, retreat first.” 2596 Bloody Hand’s Ambush, Han Fei’s Erupting (2 in 1) The situation on the northern expedition army’s side was not much better. More and more people had used up their Clean Stones. In the next half an hour, more than a hundred teams were destroyed. This was not the problem of the northern expedition army. The main reason was the lack of Clean Stones and the lack of sustainability of the battle. In just one and a half hours, more than 300 million Clean Stones had been consumed. Plus the previous consumption, nearly half of the Clean Stones of the northern expedition army had been consumed. Of course, the large consumption of the Clean Stones and the deaths of the cultivators of the three parties were exchanged for the deaths of nearly 20,000 Bloody Hand Mine Devils. Han Fei calculated with his fingers. So far, they had killed more than 30,000 Bloody Hand Mine Devils. Including the number of Bloody Hand Mine Devils he and the Demon Vanquishing Tree had killed before, almost 40,000 were killed. However, Han Fei had calculated that there might be nearly 100,000 Bloody Hand Mine Devils here, and less than half of them had been eliminated. At this moment, the advantage of the northern expedition army had disappeared. In just half an hour, more than a thousand people died. Even the ferocious beasts and the divine beasts began to die on a large scale. Judging from the situation, after using up the Clean Stones, they could only kill more than 60,000 Bloody Hand Mine Devils, but there might still be nearly 40,000 Bloody Hand Mine Devils in this Mine Demon Stream. Unless the entire northern expedition army was wiped out, it was impossible for them to completely wipe out the Bloody Hand Mine Devils in the Mine Demon Stream. At this moment, the three major forces realized that this place was difficult to attack and ordered their men to retreat. However, Han Fei knew that he couldn’t run away. The rear had been surrounded. The northern expedition army had to fight now. The suppressed Bloody Hand might not be able to come out for the time being, but he could still control some of the Bloody Hand Mine Devil’s actions. Did he want to eat the northern expedition army all at once? What Han Fei didn’t understand was that this was not the territory of the Great Monarch Bloody Hand. This was the Mine Demon Stream, and behind it was Puppet City. Why did you try so hard to stop the northern expedition army? In the next moment, the big cat, Wang Xiaojiu shouted, “Not good! Our escape route has been blocked. I’ve already sensed that a large number of Bloody Hand Mine Devils are coming from behind.” Buzz! For a moment, everyone’s expression turned extremely ugly. Behind them? The mastermind paid the price of 20,000 Bloody Hand Mine Devils just to create an opportunity to block their retreat? At this moment, countless people were horrified. Especially the cultivators in the peak-level late-stage Star Transformation Realm, after such a long battle, they had almost used up all their Clean Stones. They could only risk their lives in another such battle. Although Han Fei had facilitated the northern expedition, he didn’t want the northern expedition army to be wiped out. The inheritance of the Great Monarch was there, but if you entered it, you would die. Then would you enter it? However, he wouldn’t die if he went in. Then, even if he took the Great Monarch’s inheritance, no one could do anything but stare enviously. At the same time, Han Fei’s other purpose was to warn the Demon Vanquishing Tree. But the problem was that the Demon Vanquishing Tree hadn’t appeared until now. Except for those ownerless roots, the Demon Vanquishing Tree didn’t disrupt the invasion of the northern expedition army at all. Han Fei didn’t think this was right either. Once the Bloody Hand Mine Devils were wiped out, it meant that Puppet City lost a natural protective barrier. Under the circumstances where the Bloody Hand Mine Devils were slaughtered so wantonly, the Demon Vanquishing Tree should be on the Bloody Hand Mine Devil’s side at this moment. Only in this way could it maintain the current situation of the Mine Demon Stream and protect Puppet City. However, he didn’t have the Demon Vanquishing Tree, which made Han Fei eager to know what happened in Puppet City. However, what could have happened in Puppet City? The only thing was that the old turtle had reforged his body with the turtle egg of Great Monarch Mystic Martial. It wasn’t a big deal and wouldn’t cause such a strange situation. Han Fei knew that this was the real crisis for the northern expedition army. Although they had reached this realm, they had to bear the consequences no matter what choice they made. He didn’t feel guilty at all. All he wanted was to grow stronger and prove his Dao. However, Han Fei felt that these people couldn’t all die now. All of a sudden, Han Fei shouted, “Those who have Clean Stones, stop hiding them. If you use them, you can at least fight for a while. Otherwise, you’ll be courting death. Also, the City of Origin and the City of Scavengers must have extra Clean Stones. Don’t hide them now. Do you want the northern expedition army to be destroyed?” An Shanbei and Luo Chen’s faces turned green. We’ve already taken out a lot, alright? The remaining Clean Stones are the key to the competition for the inheritance of the Great Monarch. Can they be used easily here? At this moment, the two of them suddenly wondered if they should draw everyone’s attention to Wushuang. However, Wushuang glanced at them coldly, as if saying, “If you dare to say anything, you will die.” This made them uncertain. This time, the strongest team in the Hundred Alliance City was this group of people from the Capital of Horror. There were as many as 70 perfected Star Transformation Realm cultivators, and their combat power was extremely terrifying. They had already targeted Wushuang once and scammed her of five hundred million Clean Stones. If they scammed her again, even if they made it out alive, the consequences would be immeasurable. It was definitely not a good thing to offend the number one superpower in the Infinite Mining Area. At this moment, guided by Han Fei’s words, many leaders and cultivators had already looked at the two of them. Someone said, “An Shanbei, Luo Chen, do you want us to all die?” Someone shouted coldly, “It’s very simple for two forces to disappear from this northern expedition army. You don’t have time to think now. Hurry up and take out the Clean Stones.” On the ferocious beasts’ side, Mo Jiu and Wang Xiaojiu also shouted, “We also want a share, or we will tear you apart.” All of a sudden, An Shanbei and Luo Chen felt as if they were sitting on pins and needles. If they didn’t hand the Clean Stones over, they would be in serious trouble. They had every reason to believe that the army of the northern expedition would join forces and wipe them out. Then, the strong masters of the Capital of Horror would find a way to enter their Origin Stars and bring out the Clean Stones. This was something that they could completely do. Therefore, An Shanbei shouted with an awful look on his face, “Two hundred million. That’s the most I can offer. You may not know how precious the Clean Stone is, but it’s something that our City of Origin earned by sacrificing countless cultivators. You’re taking out hundreds of millions of them? What do you think we are? A treasure house?” However, Wang Xiaojiu shouted, “We want 50 million, so you should take out 250 million. Don’t bargain. If you can take out 200 million, you will definitely be able to take out 250 million. And the guy from the City of Scavengers, you also have to take out 250 million.” Mo Jiu added, “The divine beasts don’t need any. They’re born with the power of purification and are very powerful. We ferocious beasts want a hundred million.” Luo Chen said, “What about the City of Wanderers? They are also from the Chaotic Wasteland. How can they not have Clean Stones? Where is Chen Tianya? Don’t think you can pretend to be invisible by keeping silent.” Seeing everyone’s gazes sweep over, Chen Tianya snorted coldly. “I, Chen Tianya, don’t hide anything. I originally had 100 million Clean Stones, and 80 million of them have been given away, and the remaining 20 million were split evenly by the ten of us. Now there’s nothing on my Origin Star. If you don’t believe me, come to my Origin Star and I’ll chop off my own head if you find one. I’m open and aboveboard. Do you dare to show your Origin Stars?” With that, Chen Tianya directly showed his Star Bead. As Chen Tianya did so, the other nine people in the City of Wanderers also revealed their Star Beads. “Come, you can enter our Origin Stars at any time. If you find an extra Clean Stone, we’ll chop off our heads.” “Hiss!” Many people were no longer suspicious. Look at them. They showed all the Clean Stones they had. But look at the people of the City of Origin and the City of Wanderers, they were clearly fooling people. Would they dare to show their Star Beads? Therefore, even if each of these two cities offered 250 million Clean Stones, no one would think that they had contributed all their Clean Stones. However, since Chen Tianya had proposed it, there would naturally be people who would take a look at his Origin Star. When a dozen cultivators entered Chen Tianya’s Origin Star and came out, they said to everyone, “Indeed, there is no Clean Stone, including on the modified stars.” Seeing this scene, everyone no longer suspected Chen Tianya, but they knew that if the 500 million Clean Stones were still not enough, their last hope would still be Luo Chen and An Shanbei. The two of them looked awful as if they were constipated. However, now that the Bloody Hand Mine Devils had launched an attack, no one had the time to loot their stock anymore. But An Shanbei and Chen Tianya were very puzzled. They knew that Long Wu also made a deal with Wushuang. Why didn’t the City of Wanderers stock up more Clean Stones? But they didn’t know that the City of Wanderers gave three hundred million Clean Stones to Han Fei. Three hundred million wasn’t a lot, but if it was all given to one person, it would be a lot. At least it could ensure that Han Fei could handle the real Bloody Hand with ease. Bang! Bang! Bang! For a time, another battle broke out. However, after only two hours, the three major factions were having a hard time. There were too many Bloody Hand Mine Devils. It didn’t look like there were only 30,000 Bloody Hand Mine Devils at all. Conservatively speaking, there were at least 60,000 Bloody Hand Mine Devils here, or even more. The northern expedition army frantically tried to break through the defense line and rush to the entrance. But in the end, it proved that they failed. There were too many Bloody Hand Mine Devils in the rear, giving them no chance to escape at all. Whichever rushed the most fiercely would be killed first. A team with ten perfected Star Transformation Realm cultivators cut through all obstacles and used millions of Clean Stones in a short period of time, trying to break through a gap. However, the Bloody Hand Mine Devils attacked them crazily, and even the power of the mineral in this space was gathered. In the blink of an eye, hundreds of attacks separated the team of ten people. In only two seconds, the ten people were completely wiped out. Such a breakthrough was carried out by five teams at the same time, but in the end, without exception, they were all wiped out. Finally, some teams had almost run out of Clean Stones because of the constant attacks. Those people roared, “Are there any more Clean Stones? Any more?” Someone shouted, “Teams whose Clean Stones have almost been used up, retreat.” Someone was lost for words. “Retreat? Where can we retreat to? The entrance is blocked. We can only go deeper.” However, although these people were cursing, they still ran deeper. As they ran, hundreds of teams gathered together in a magnificent array. Just when they thought that they might have to face the dangers in the depths first, they were surprised to find that the Bloody Hand Mine Devils that were originally in the depths of the Mine Demon Stream had all surrounded their entrance. “Wait, something is wrong. The Bloody Hand Mine Devil doesn’t stop us from going deeper.” Among the ferocious beasts, Mo Jiu shouted, “All ferocious beasts, charge deeper.” The divine beasts, such as the white tiger, were exhausted. They also shouted, “Retreat and go deeper.” At this moment, everybody realized that something was wrong. If the Bloody Hand Mine Devils wanted to surround them and kill them, they should’ve attacked them from the front and back, which would’ve messed up the teams. However, everybody was too busy rushing to the entrance to notice it. It was obvious that the manipulator was trying to drive them deeper. Although they didn’t know the reason, it was definitely impossible for them to escape blindly. In order to survive, they could only go deeper. At least, they had to see why this Bloody Hand Mine Devil was driving them deeper when he could exhaust them to death. Han Fei’s face gradually turned dark. Something was wrong. In the depths of the Mine Demon Stream, there was nothing but the Blood Spring and Puppet City. Han Fei seemed to have guessed the Bloody Hand Mine Devils’ intentions. Had Bloody Hand already developed such a high level of consciousness? He wanted to drive everyone to Puppet City that was meant to block the ominous. Those who weren’t contaminated by the ominous could enter. Of course, if the Demon Vanquishing Tree was unwilling, they couldn’t enter. But up to now, the Demon Vanquishing Tree hadn’t appeared. Was it watching the show? If these people really attacked Puppet City, it was very likely that the Demon Vanquishing Tree could kill all of them with the strength of the Carefree Level. More importantly, would the Demon Vanquishing Tree kill them? What if the Demon Vanquishing Tree protected the northern expedition army? Then wouldn’t it be a huge loss for the bloody hand if the Demon Vanquishing Tree used the northern expedition army to fight the Bloody Hand Mine Devils? “No, something is wrong with the Demon Vanquishing Tree.” Han Fei frowned. The answer was simple. The Demon Vanquishing Tree was not stupid. On the contrary, it was very smart. If there were really so many strong masters to be used, the Demon Vanquishing Tree would definitely force the northern expedition army to kill the Bloody Hand and even help them. Therefore, Han Fei was certain that something might be wrong with the Demon Vanquishing Tree. However, he couldn’t figure it out. The blood spring had almost been sucked up by the Emperor Sparrow, and the Bloody Hand was suppressed under the blood spring with a seal on it. He had set up multiple seals under the original seal, in case the Demon Vanquishing Tree sensed the existence of the Bloody Hand. This was also the key that Han Fei mentioned to the northern expedition army. If the Bloody Hand hadn’t broken the blood spring, the only change in Puppet City would have been that the old turtle had entered. But the old turtle’s soul was only in the perfected Star Transformation Realm. His strength was nothing in front of the Demon Vanquishing Tree. How could this change happen because of him? Up to this moment, Han Fei didn’t feel any feedback from his clone. He didn’t know if it was still alive. Although the clone didn’t use much of his power, it was still a clone in the peak-level late-stage Star Transformation Realm. At this moment, everybody was running as fast as they could. Whoever was slow would be killed if they were caught up by the Bloody Hand Mine Devils. At first, hundreds of peak-level late-stage Star Transformation Realm cultivators couldn’t keep up with the speed and were enveloped by the Bloody Hand Mine Devils, crushed in an instant. Then, Han Fei stopped and came to the back. He punched the air and instantly threw out thousands of fist lights to stop the Bloody Hand Mine Devils. Han Fei roared, “Do all the perfected Star Transformation Realm cultivators of the northern expedition army eat sh*t? Although I helped facilitate the northern expedition, I never thought of letting them be cannon fodder. You, all perfected Star Transformation Realm cultivators, didn’t bring up the rear but let a group of peak-level late-stage Star Transformation Realm cultivators bring up the rear. Is this the northern expedition of your Hundred Alliance City? Isn’t it disappointing?” Han Fei’s words almost brought tears to the eyes of these itinerant cultivators. Just now, many itinerant cultivators said that they couldn’t keep up and were going to die. However, in the entire northern expedition army, only the Human Butcher they regarded as a ferocious bandit was saving them. The others ran forward desperately, not caring about their lives at all. Han Fei’s words echoed the thoughts of the itinerant cultivators and reminded Wushuang and the others. Wushuang roared, “All the perfected Star Transformation Realm cultivators of the Capital of Horror, cover the rear.” The people from the Divine Capital Dynasty also realized that this was definitely a good opportunity to win people’s hearts. They immediately shouted, “All the perfected Star Transformation Realm cultivators of the Divine Capital Dynasty, cover the rear.” In addition to these two powers, the power that also decided to cover the rear included the Fist Light Mountain, the Heaven Worshiping Palace from the Central Sea Divine Realm, the City of Wanderers that only had three perfected Star Transformation Realm cultivators, and a group of itinerant cultivators. Yes, most of the people covering the rear were itinerant cultivators. They came here to get an opportunity. No one wanted to die. Itinerant cultivators helped itinerant cultivators, so they were willing to cover the rear to protect other itinerant cultivators. However, even including them, there were no more than 300 perfected Star Transformation Realm cultivators guarding the rear. The cultivators of other factions sneered at Han Fei’s actions. Someone muttered, “Bring up the rear? Are they out of their minds? Tens of thousands of Bloody Hand Mine Devils are chasing us. Isn’t it courting death to bring up the rear?” Someone even said bluntly, “How stupid. How can 300 perfected Star Transformation Realm cultivators resist 30,000 perfected Star Transformation Realm mine devils? If they want to die, go!” As for Luo Chen, An Shanbei, and the others, they had paid a huge price for the inheritance of the Great Monarch this time. How was it possible that they went to defend the rear at this time? They also thought that Wushuang came here for the inheritance of the Great Monarch, and the most effective way to obtain the inheritance of the Great Monarch was to get the Clean Stones. It was impossible for them to give away Clean Stones anymore. No matter what others said, getting the inheritance was the key. Once they obtained the inheritance of a Great Monarch, it meant that a powerful Monarch would rise. If he could reach the level of the Great Monarch Bloody Hand, it would be worth it no matter how many Sky Opening Realm cultivators died. Besides, they knew that there was not just the inheritance of the Great Monarch Bloody Hand in this place. They knew that this was the Mine Demon Stream, the city of the former Great Monarch Mystic Martial. God knew how many treasures were left here! There were only so many treasures. They didn’t want to share them with so many people! At this moment, they seemed to have forgotten that they were chased to run deeper by the Bloody Hand Mine Devils. In the rear, Han Fei erupted, and five strange sounds burst out from his body. He was simulating the breakage of the Great Dao Locks, but no one saw Great Dao Locks appear on Han Fei. Therefore, many people weren’t sure if Han Fei had broken his Great Dao Locks. However, in the next moment, they were sure. Han Fei’s Qi and blood soared to the sky, and a golden fist mark shattered the void. A Bloody Hand Mine Devil attacked at the speed of light explosion, but it was blasted apart by Han Fei’s punch. The Bloody Hand exploded and the Flash Lizard shattered. “Hiss ~” “So strong! How is it possible? He blew up a Bloody Hand Mine Devil with one punch?” “A super cultivator with five Dao Locks. God, no wonder Human Butcher could kill seven Dao Lock-level cultivators in one battle. No wonder Human Butcher could find the inheritance of a Great Monarch and enter this place alone to explore.” Someone exclaimed, “He has five Dao Locks and is about to prove Dao. If it weren’t for the inheritance of the Great Monarch, he wouldn’t have come to the Infinite Mining Area at all, right?” Someone was shocked. “That’s right. Human Butcher hasn’t done much evil up to now, right? He only killed some pirates and destroyed the Soul Controlling Sect.” Everyone present knew what kind of people the Soul Controlling Sect was. They were all perfected Star Transformation Realm cultivators and had been invited by the Soul Controlling Sect before. How could they not know? As for the pirates, were any of them good? If they were, why would they be pirates? Therefore, at this moment, many people’s opinions of Han Fei changed. At this moment, even Chen Tianya was shocked. Is this person so strong? So he is about to prove Dao! No wonder he dares to compete with the Master of Silence for the position of Human Emperor. No wonder the Master of Silence asked Long Wu to listen to his orders. There is indeed a reason for all this! On the ferocious beast’s side, the big cat Wang Xiaojiu exclaimed, “Meow, this person is so scary. The power unleashed by his fist exceeds the power of the Dao Proving Level, right?” A black yak said, “His strength is definitely comparable to that of a Dao Prover, but I haven’t seen many laws in his attacks. However, his combat power feels like that of a ferocious beast.” Wang Xiaojiu said, “Of course. If the laws in his attacks are strong, he will be a Monarch. How can he still be in the Sky Opening Realm?” Mo Jiu said, “It feels a little strange. I didn’t see his Dao Locks at all.” Wang Xiaojiu said, “Maybe he didn’t want his Great Dao to be seen! I just didn’t expect him to be willing to fight for a group of irrelevant cultivators. It’s too exciting. I want to fight.” Mo Jiu didn’t stop him but said, “Be careful. Save your strength. I feel that something big will happen later.” “Got it!” Swish ~ Wang Xiaojiu jumped out, appeared next to Han Fei in an instant, and shouted, “Brother Human Butcher, I admire you and have come to fight alongside you.” 2597 The Disappeared Demon Vanquishing Tree (2 in 1) Of course, Han Fei didn’t really come to help these people out of compassion. He just wanted to win people’s hearts. As for why he wanted to win people’s hearts, Han Fei didn’t have a clear idea now. However, he felt that the Infinite Mining Area was a suitable place to rise quickly. He wanted the human race to settle in the Infinite Mining Areas. The Chaotic Wasteland was clearly not suitable for cultivation. The cultivation efficiency in any place in the Sea Realm might exceed the Chaotic Wasteland. The Infinite Mining Area was undoubtedly a super cultivation place where danger and opportunity coexisted. Han Fei’s current behavior changed the way the itinerant cultivators looked at him, allowing everyone to see his attitude. He killed a Bloody Hand Mine Devil with a slash and roared, “I’m the Human Emperor. I’ll do what I should do. Since I facilitated the northern expedition, I’ll cover the rear. However, I’ve really seen it for myself. Apart from a few fractions, the Hundred Alliance City is just trash. With your way of doing things, you want to prove Dao? Dream on.” While praising himself, Han Fei belittled the others who had escaped. He even raised this kind of behavior as a way of doing things, which completely changed the opinions of all the itinerant cultivators on him. Even many of the fleeing factions suspected that it was really because of their way of doing things that they couldn’t grow quickly. Although what the Human Emperor did was not a good thing and was always accompanied by the death of a large number of strong masters, he seemed to be very principled. For example, now, under the pursuit of this 30,000 perfected Star Transformation Realm Bloody Hand Mine Devils, Han Fei could still step forward and even break his five Great Dao Locks to cover the retreat. How could ordinary people have such a bearing? In the eyes of these itinerant cultivators, Han Fei immediately turned from the Human Butcher into the dignified Human Emperor. Han Fei roared, “The perfected Star Transformation Realm cultivators among the itinerant cultivators! Take these peak-level late-stage Star Transformation Realm itinerant cultivators and run! I’ll cover your retreat!” Hearing this, all the itinerant cultivators were moved. Someone said, “Human Emperor, can you resist them alone?” Han Fei sneered. “Perfected Star Transformation cultivators are not worthy of killing me.” Wushuang roared, “Hurry up, don’t dawdle.” Then, the itinerant cultivators in the perfected Star Transformation Realm all roared, “All those in the peak-level late-stage Star Transformation Realm, gather around the perfected Star Transformation Realm cultivators and enter your Origin Stars.” At this moment, it was not the time to be pretentious. With a second slower, they might have been killed. Because Han Fei was covering the rear, he was besieged by hundreds of Bloody Hand Mine Devils at this moment. However, at this moment, Han Fei’s fist mark rushed horizontally like a star blooming. In the blink of an eye, dozens of Bloody Hand Mine Devils were blown up by Han Fei. A Bloody Hand Mine Devil grabbed Han Fei but was shaken away by his soaring Qi and blood. In the next second, Han Fei pulled with both hands and the Bloody Hand Mine Devil was torn apart and exploded. Wang Xiaojiu unleashed a terrifying speed of nearly 30 times the speed of light. As he slapped the Bloody Hand Mine Devils back, he was shocked. Is this a human? Is this a pure-blooded human? Is a pure-blooded human so terrifying? He had never seen a ferocious beast below the same realm as him who could achieve such power. He felt that this was a real ferocious beast. The itinerant cultivators didn’t waste any time. They led the peak-level late-stage Star Transformation Realm cultivators and shouted, “Human Emperor, we’re leaving first.” At this moment, there was no point in saying polite remarks. Although Han Fei looked extremely heroic, not everyone had such a mindset. Even though they were shocked by Han Fei’s bravery, they knew that they were not Han Fei. They didn’t have five Dao Locks. Even if they were besieged by dozens of Bloody Hand Mine Devils, they would have to die. They ran now because they recognized their own strength. In just five seconds, Han Fei was besieged by thousands of Bloody Hand Mine Devils. And because of Han Fei’s inexplicable strength, the Bloody Hand Mine Devils didn’t chase the others but just attacked him. Although Han Fei was extremely ferocious, he was still sent flying everywhere and couldn’t resist countless Slaughter Punches. Han Fei shouted, “Wang Xiaojiu, Wushuang, you retreat too. I can leave in five seconds.” Wang Xiaojiu was suspicious. “Can you do it?” Wushuang simply shouted, “Everyone, let’s go.” Seeing that everyone had left, Wang Xiaojiu looked back at Han Fei, immediately entered the white cave space, and disappeared. Seeing that everyone had left, Han Fei threw out tens of millions of Clean Stones. In an instant, the world suddenly lit up. “Heaven Enlightenment Divine Technique.” Divine brilliance descended and enveloped Han Fei, but at this moment, tens of thousands of Bloody Hand Mine Devils had already caught up with him and blocked Han Fei’s way. However, when the divine brilliance dissipated and the light between the heavens and earth dimmed, Han Fei was nowhere to be seen. Buzz! Hundreds of thousands of kilometers away, Han Fei appeared in a sorry state with a swollen face. Fortunately, he had the Twin Divine Technique. Otherwise, he probably wouldn’t have been able to get out. In the next moment, Han Fei entered the white cave space and rushed towards the army. While running, Han Fei thought that the bloody hand under the spring of blood must have been targeting him. It was obviously trying to kill him just now. It turned out that the bloody hand was very vengeful. At this moment, Han Fei felt that something might have happened to Puppet City. After a while, where the army was, the white cave space flashed, blood Qi surged, and then Han Fei descended in front of everyone. “Hiss ~” Many people took a deep breath. No wonder this guy dared to explore the place of inheritance of the Great Monarch alone. They didn’t expect that he could show up after being besieged by so many Bloody Hand Mine Devils. Then, someone said in delight, “You’ve escaped? Thank you for your help, Human Emperor. We itinerant cultivators will never forget your help.” Someone cupped his fists. “We can’t thank you enough. Human Emperor, welcome to our camp in the future. We will definitely treat you as a distinguished guest.” Someone laughed. “The Human Emperor is awesome.” Han Fei, on the other hand, was as cold as ever. “I’m not trying to save you, but I have no grudge against you. You’ve helped me a lot in this northern expedition. I simply don’t want to see you die.” This was in line with Han Fei’s personality, which was cold, arrogant, and domineering. However, the itinerant cultivators no longer had a bad impression of Han Fei. Instead, someone cursed, “Those damn strong masters from the Hundred Alliances! They can’t bear to see us cultivators doing well.” Someone echoed, “Humph, those people might want to watch us die so that they can occupy our share of resources. These b*stards, I won’t be associated with them in this life.” At this time, Wang Xiaojiu strolled over. Yes, he strolled over. This guy’s speed was too fast. No one here was faster than him except Han Fei. Wang Xiaojiu looked at him curiously, and Han Fei frowned. “What are you looking at?” Wang Xiaojiu asked, “I’m curious how you escaped.” Han Fei said, “If I wasn’t confident, how could I have walked into the trap? Just like how you were very fast, I naturally have a trump card.” Wang Xiaojiu shrugged and then said, “Hey! Human Butcher! How about joining our camp of Prehistoric Ferocious Beasts?” Han Fei was lost for words. “Do I look like a beast?” Wang Xiaojiu said, “Humans are animals, and animals are beasts. Why can’t you be a ferocious beast? A human ferocious beast!” Han Fei really wanted to slap him. What f*cking human beast? I am the Human Emperor. Han Fei said, “Why do you keep coming to me? The ferocious beast army has already run away.” Wang Xiaojiu said, “It’s not far! I’m just curious about you, but you’re really boring. Let’s chat! Hey, why can you unlock your Great Dao Locks without them appearing?” Han Fei said, “Take a guess.” Wang Xiaojiu said, “You’re too much. I’m a dignified king of ferocious beasts. How can you let me guess?” This strange conversation lasted for half a day. When they approached the blood spring, Han Fei roared, “The inheritance of the Great Monarch Bloody Hand is in that direction.” Han Fei mainly wanted to test it out if it was really the Bloody Hand who was causing trouble. Upon hearing this, everyone adjusted their direction. However, after only half an hour, they saw an overwhelming number of Bloody Hand Demon Devils waiting solemnly. Obviously, they had already been waiting here. “Sh*t!” Han Fei secretly cursed, knowing that he had no chance to escape this time. He was too careless. He had thought that the Emperor Sparrow had swallowed the blood spring that the Bloody Hand painstakingly created and could suppress the Bloody Hands for a thousand years. He didn’t expect that this thing would recover so quickly and could command so many Bloody Hand Mine Devils. Since you are so awesome, why didn’t you do it earlier? You could have just sent an army to besiege me back then. The northern expedition army, the divine beasts, and the ferocious beasts were all shocked. Damn it! Do you think you can still go over? This is literally courting death! In the next moment, however, they saw Han Fei turn around to run and say coldly, “It seems that the one below has woken up and is deliberately driving us away.” Someone said, “Isn’t it obvious? But where does it want to drive us?” At this time, the leader of the Divine Capital Dynasty took a deep look at Han Fei. Others didn’t know, but he knew. When Han Fei wanted to buy information, he said that this was the Mine Demon Stream. Besides, Han Fei knew about Puppet City. Therefore, there was only one answer. The place where the Bloody Hand Mine Devils drove everyone to could only be Puppet City. But why didn’t Han Fei say anything about it? Han Fei hadn’t mentioned Puppet City since the beginning. The current situation seemed to be beyond Han Fei’s expectations. This meant that Han Fei didn’t know what would happen below. However, at this moment, neither the Divine Capital Dynasty nor the Capital of Horror would point out that this was Puppet City. Otherwise, wouldn’t it tell everyone that they had long known where this was? It could only be said that those who knew had a tacit understanding to keep silent. Han Fei knew that it was unrealistic to fool them into going to the blood spring now. These people cherished their lives. If they were to fight the tens of thousands of Bloody Hand Mine Devils again, 30 or 40 percent of these people would die. Although there seemed to be a lot of Bloody Hand Mine Devils now, there were only less than 50,000 of them left. There might even be only more than 40,000. At first, Han Fei expected that this trip would be perilous because he was going to lead people to explore the blood spring, pretending that he had obtained the inheritance. Now it seemed that if this road was blocked, he could only go to Puppet City. But then again, Han Fei wasn’t very afraid of confronting the Demon Vanquishing Tree. If worst came to worst, he could cooperate with the Demon Vanquishing Tree to slowly snipe the Bloody Hand Mine Devils in the Mine Demon Stream and gather the power of the Clean Stones to destroy the Bloody Hand. Anyway, he had a reason, which was that the old turtle and his clone didn’t return. The Demon Vanquishing Tree didn’t come out to clarify, so of course, I thought something happened to them. Although everyone was anxious along the way, wondering if it would be more dangerous if they went deeper, they had no choice but to be driven away by the Bloody Hand Mine Devils. This time, after only more than two hours, they finally came to a natural barrier. It was like a white film that formed a wall of heaven and earth. Although they couldn’t see what was inside clearly, they could vaguely see inside the barrier. They even saw that it seemed to be a city inside. However, when he saw this scene, Han Fei’s heart skipped a beat. Where is the Demon Vanquishing Tree? Yes, the Demon Vanquishing Tree had disappeared. The Demon Vanquishing Tree wasn’t completely sealed inside. Many of its branches and leaves extended out. Even if they didn’t, the Demon Vanquishing Tree should have made a sound by now! But now, there was nothing at all. The place where the Demon Vanquishing Tree used to be was empty, without even a shadow. The Demon Vanquishing Tree had disappeared just like that. What the hell happened? Someone exclaimed, “It’s a city! Where did this city come from?” All the cultivators were shocked. This city was blocked by a barrier. Someone was appalled. “Are those Bloody Hand Mine Devils trying to drive us to the barrier and then kill us all at once?” Someone shouted, “That’s impossible. If they really want to kill us in one fell swoop, they only need to attack us from the front and back. Few people could really break through the siege. Now they’re obviously driving us to enter this city.” Someone was surprised. “There’s a barrier here. How can we enter? Besides, what’s the Bloody Hand Mine Devils’ purpose?” At this moment, someone guessed, “Could it be a trial? This is the real trial of the Great Monarch’s inheritance, not the place Human Butcher pointed to?” For a moment, everyone, including the ferocious beasts and the divine beasts, looked at Han Fei. Han Fei said without blushing, “I’ve never stepped into the land of inheritance. As I said before, I was beaten out by a terrifying giant hand. Therefore, I guess that the place I pointed to earlier is the real entrance. Besides, I do have a way to enter that entrance.” When everyone heard that, they immediately had guesses. Someone said, “Since you haven’t entered it, you’re not sure. Instead of killing us, the Bloody Hand Mine Devils drove us into the city. What does this mean? Are the Bloody Hand Mine Devils only part of the trial?” Wang Xiaojiu shouted, “Then why did those Bloody Hand Mine Devils attack us crazily?” The man said, “In order to eliminate the unqualified participants, isn’t this a normal trial segment?” For a moment, Han Fei was astounded. This guy was really helpful! But logically speaking, his words made a lot of sense! Of course, knowing the specific situation here, Han Fei knew that things were not as this person said. This was definitely not a trial. The Bloody Hand controlled the Bloody Hand Mine Devils to drive them here indeed to let them enter the city, but it was definitely not a trial. And the disappearance of the Demon Vanquishing Tree meant that there was no one guarding Puppet City now. What was his purpose for driving them into the city at this time? Suddenly, Han Fei’s heart skipped a beat. The only change in Puppet City was Old Yuan. This was because with the Demon Vanquishing Tree guarding it, even if the Bloody Hand really appeared, it might not be able to break through this spiritual barrier. Only Old Yuan had entered Puppet City, so the disappearance of the Demon Vanquishing Tree must be related to Old Yuan. Now that the Demon Vanquishing Tree was gone, the Bloody Hand moved. However, Han Fei didn’t understand. Since the Demon Vanquishing Tree was gone, the Bloody Hand should have controlled his army of Bloody Hand Mine Devils to break through the barrier! He couldn’t break through the barrier because of the Demon Vanquishing Tree, but now that the Demon Vanquishing Tree disappeared, shouldn’t he give it a try? Or could it be that the Bloody Hand Mine Devils had already tried, but failed to break the barrier? Different from others, Han Fei knew that the barrier in the Mine Demon Stream was meant to prevent the ominous’ invasion. When he entered this barrier, the Demon Vanquishing Tree only said “come in and talk”, but Han Fei didn’t actually feel that the barrier blocked him. In other words, for those who weren’t infected by the ominous, this barrier probably wouldn’t stop him. In any case, they couldn’t care less at this moment. On the side of the Capital of Horror, a person stuck his body to the barrier. Originally, this person was just using a teleportation technique. If anything went wrong, he would immediately abandon this body. However, this person was surprised to find that he had come in. He immediately walked out of the spiritual barrier and said in shock, “I can enter this spiritual barrier.” “You can enter?” “So easily?” For a moment, countless people looked at each other. Isn’t this too easy to enter? Is it a trap? However, they didn’t have time to think. The army of Bloody Hand Mine Devils had already arrived, and they didn’t seem to be slowing down at all. At this time, many people looked at Han Fei, and Wushuang asked him via voice transmission, “Are we going in or not?” Han Fei roared, “Let’s go!” With that, Han Fei stepped into it. Many perfected Star Transformation Realm cultivators entered at the same time as Han Fei. They wouldn’t let Han Fei leave their sight casually. Just now, when Han Fei went back to cover the retreat, no one cared about him because they thought he was courting death. However, since this spiritual barrier could be entered, it might be a trap, but there was another possibility. This spiritual barrier was meant to resist the Bloody Hand Mine Devils, so it was not guarded against them at all. What if this was some prehistoric ruin? How many treasures would there be here! Buzz— One person after another came in. Once there were too many people doing something, the rest would have no fear. Whether this matter was right or wrong, it was a collective action. Even if it was wrong, countless people would die with him. In the next moment, when everyone appeared in the outer city of Puppet City, they didn’t find anything unusual. Almost everyone released their perceptions immediately, including Han Fei. Puppet City was very large. Han Fei frowned and felt that something was wrong. There were many more turtle man statues in the outer city of Puppet City. Each of them was like a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle, holding various weapons and standing on both sides of the streets in the outer city. They looked like simple decorations. Furthermore, the gravity here was 100,000 times greater, and the power of the Heavenly Dao couldn’t be used. It could only circulate in one’s body, and its power could only erupt in a small range. There were no conditions to use divine techniques or any special law. Even Han Fei’s combat power was suppressed by about 20%. Puppet City had completely turned into a military fortress. The buildings and ground here were made of special minerals, and various rune arrays were imprinted on them. No one was surprised about this. After all, this was an ancient city. How could there be no restrictions? Han Fei clearly remembered that Puppet City wasn’t like this the last time he came. Although there were statues back then, they were definitely not these statues. At that time, these strange patterns didn’t appear on the ground here. At this time, someone shouted, “Someone failed to come in and was blocked outside the barrier.” Everyone looked back and found that there were at least three hundred people, emitting thick black smoke, and then they were immediately covered by the Bloody Hand Mine Devils. Many people were horrified. Someone said, “The ominous. They were contaminated by the ominous and blocked by this barrier.” Some people were still scared. When did these people get tainted by the ominous? Some people had even fought side by side with them. How did they get tainted by the ominous? “Ahhh~” Before they figured it out, someone suddenly vomited blood and his eyes exploded. Seeing this, everybody grew vigilant. However, this person pointed in a direction and said, “Don’t perceive the words on that city gate.” However, it was too late. Immediately afterward, hundreds of people vomited blood and their eyes exploded. Someone said, “Puppet City. The words “Puppet City” are written on the city gate.” “Hiss ~” At this moment, someone exclaimed, “Puppet City? It’s said to be the main city founded by Great Monarch Mystic Martial in the Age of the Gods.” Most of the itinerant cultivators didn’t know much about the history of the Infinite Mining Area, as well as the former glory of this place, but many major factions did. Someone from the Capital of Horror said, “In the Age of the Gods, in the Infinite Mining Areas, Great Monarchs gathered. Among them, the relatively famous one was Great Monarch Mystic Martial, who was even more famous than Great Monarch Bloody Hand. Great Monarch Mystic Martial presided over a training ground called the Mine Demon Stream and established Puppet City here to recruit all kinds of geniuses. Later, for unknown reasons, Great Monarch Mystic Martial never returned. Without Great Monarch Mystic Martial presiding over Puppet City, it declined in the end. Even the Mine Demon Stream disappeared from people’s sight.” Puppet? Many people immediately looked at the statues. Someone pointed out where this place was, so they noticed the statues immediately. Were these puppets? However, those statues didn’t have the slightest vitality. They were just stones. Suddenly, someone exclaimed, “Those statues… They’re all made of minerals.” “Hiss! They’re really mineral statues, level-five minerals.” “So many! So many minerals!” Wait a minute, are these puppets? Who would turn minerals into statues for show? Besides, aren’t there too many of them? There are tens of thousands of statues scattered across 50,000 kilometers. “If these aren’t puppets, doesn’t it mean that these minerals can be moved away?” Everyone couldn’t help but be tempted. How big was a piece of mineral? How many pieces of mineral did a statue made of mineral need? Someone tried to pick up a statue, but before he could do it, someone stopped him. “Are you crazy? What if it’s a puppet? Will you fight it if it’s alarmed?” The person said, “If the city gate inside is Puppet City, this should only be the outer city.” They had to be careful. The number of the northern expedition had plummeted to only 9,200. If they touched the defense mechanism, who would bear all the consequences? Someone said, “Whether or not these statues are puppets, it’s best not to touch them. We’re here to seek opportunities. We were originally here for the inheritance of the Great Monarch Bloody Hand, but that place was stopped by the Bloody Hand. This is the city of the Great Monarch Mystic Martial. How can there be nothing here?” Someone rolled his eyes. Don’t touch them? How can you not touch them? With so many minerals placed here, how can you not be tempted? Someone said, “Why don’t we investigate separately? In addition to these statues, there are many buildings and houses here. These buildings are not rotten. Then will there be any treasures in the buildings?” Someone immediately echoed, “I agree.” Someone nodded. “That’s a good idea. Even if something happens, other people won’t be implicated.” Mo Jiu said, “Split up and explore. Don’t go to the city gate first. Don’t look at the words “Puppet City”. That might be written by a Great Monarch. It’s not something ordinary people can read.” 2598 Puppets in Puppet City (2 in 1) For the northern expedition army, it was too easy to enter Puppet City. Furthermore, they had been driven in by the Bloody Hand Mine Devils, so they were inevitably afraid and didn’t dare to do whatever they wanted here. Besides, Puppet City was divided into inner and outer cities. In the past, too many cities had such a layout, so everyone took it for granted. Although it was an outer city, it wasn’t without old sites. For example, the statues were made of minerals. It would be a lie to say that they weren’t tempted. How many mine demons had to be killed to obtain such a large piece of mineral? But here, along the road, there was a statue placed on the side of the road every once in a while, like a street lamp. In the huge outer city, there were tens of thousands of statues. If they could really take them, they would make a fortune. The factions here formed their respective exploration teams. Outside, everyone could work together, but now that they seemed to have entered a certain inheritance ground, the most trustworthy was naturally their own people. The outer city, which was originally only 50,000 kilometers wide, didn’t seem empty after so many teams were scattered at once. After they split up, the first thing they did was try to collect the statues. As everyone expected, the reason why Puppet City was called Puppet City was that it used puppets as an army. And what were puppets? These statues were. Many people had guessed it, but they still couldn’t hold back their greed. Not long after the team dispersed, someone took action. At the moment the person took action, the statue seemed to come back to life and suddenly thrust the spear in its hand. Puppets made entirely of level-five minerals were actually very strong. Their bodies might not be as tough as the Bloody Hand Mine Devil’s, but they could mobilize the power of the mineral and burst out an unimaginable piercing force. Besides, unlike outsiders like Han Fei, these statues would not be restricted by the power of the city. Their movements were not sluggish at all, and once they attacked, they could unleash their strongest power. A perfected Star Transformation Realm cultivator punched out. He thought that even though the puppet was made of level-five minerals, its level was still too low to shake him. However, with a bang, his entire arm exploded. He had neglected one thing. Although this city didn’t restrict them much, it limited twenty to thirty percent of their strength. Besides, they couldn’t use the power of the Heavenly Dao or some special techniques here. As a result, his strength no longer stood out. This person’s arm exploded, and the power of the battle between the two sides didn’t spread in the void. The mysterious line on the ground burst out with a faint light, and all the power that escaped was absorbed by the ground, including the shattered flesh and blood of the cultivator. This person’s expression changed drastically. “Not good. These puppets are very strong and have almost the highest grasp of strength. Everyone, find the flaws of the puppets. Don’t fight them with brute force.” The perfected Star Transformation Realm cultivator didn’t panic. He moved and his arm condensed again. Since his attack failed, he changed his combat thinking and used his Great Dao to bombard the puppet with a fist mark. Bang! Bang! Bang! The perfected Star Transformation Realm cultivator’s eyes suddenly lit up. “These puppets aren’t fast enough. They only have very strong explosive power.” This person made his judgment while fighting. He punched nearly a hundred times in a row, and all the joints of the puppet were sluggish. This made him overjoyed. He could beat this puppet! Just as this person circled behind the puppet and tried to take off the puppet’s head, the head turned 180 degrees and stared straight at him. Then, the puppet’s eyes turned bloodshot as it spewed out a fiery sword beam. “Pfft!” A big hole was left in the perfected Star Transformation Realm cultivator’s chest. Just as he was about to retreat, the puppet had already turned its hands over and thrust the spear in its hand. In the next moment, the perfected Star Transformation Realm cultivator’s expression changed drastically as he retreated because there was more than one puppet on this street. “Puff ~” Another puppet attacked, and a spear beam burst out. Because his strength was limited and the distance was too close, this perfected Star Transformation Realm cultivator failed to dodge and his body was pierced through again. Seeing that someone was about to come over to help, the perfected Star Transformation Realm cultivator shouted, “Don’t come over.” Yes, this was his first judgment. Although he was injured, he was far from dead. He unleashed his Qi and blood, twisted his body, and ignored the puppet behind him. What he needed to do now was to kill the first puppet. Only by finding out the real strength of this puppet could he make a countermeasure. Otherwise, if a peak-level late-stage Star Transformation Realm cultivator came, he would have no chance to escape if he was besieged by a few puppets. Those who survived in the Infinite Mining Areas all had abundant combat experience. As long as their enemy wasn’t overwhelmingly strong, they had endless combat methods. The man rushed forward and activated his Great Dao. As for his palm, this time, he used his palm as a fist and slapped the puppet. The power of his unique Great Dao surged into the puppet’s body. Boom ~ The puppet was instantly torn into pieces. It was made of level-five minerals after all. Facing a perfected Star Transformation Realm cultivator with extremely rich combat experience, even if it could fight, it was still no match for him. Of course, it was also very difficult for a perfected Star Transformation Realm cultivator to beat such a puppet in one blow. But as long as one grasped the knack, it wouldn’t be so difficult. The cultivator put on a smile, wondering how much this puppet was worth. However, just as he felt that he had won and focused his attention on the puppet behind, he suddenly felt the threat of death. “Watch out.” In the blink of an eye, a soul sword burst out of the collapsed puppet’s body. Because they were too close, this cultivator couldn’t dodge at all and his head was instantly blown up by this sword light. Bang! This person’s soul power dissipated with a bang and he was seriously injured. After all, the perfected Star Transformation Realm cultivators were not puppets. Even if their entire bodies were blown up, they could revive with a wisp of soul. However, this person discovered, to his shock, that his soul power was attracted by the mysterious force on the ground and could not escape quickly. And for some reason, the puppet’s broken hand had clasped this perfected Star Transformation Realm cultivator. Bang! A small area of self-detonation exploded like a fireball. In the next moment, the perfected Star Transformation Realm cultivator was nowhere to be seen. His flesh, blood, and soul had all disappeared, and there were only some mineral fragments on the ground. Besides, these mineral fragments were slowly swallowed by the power on the ground. Another cultivator in the perfected Star Transformation Realm immediately rushed over and quickly picked up some scattered mineral fragments. However, when he tried to find that perfected Star Transformation Realm cultivator, he was shocked to find that he was gone. Gulp! Everyone swallowed. Was this puppet so terrifying? It was clearly no match for the perfected Star Transformation Realm cultivator, but in the end, it could make him die with it. Wasn’t its combat power too strong? For a moment, similar situations appeared in the entire outer city of Puppet City. Because they had no experience in fighting puppets, they didn’t know many of the opponent’s killer moves. When they found out, as many as 200 perfected Star Transformation Realm cultivators had died. They were all accidentally killed. Of course, their death also let others see some of the battle tactics of these puppets, as well as some of their hidden trump cards. However, what they regretted at this moment was why the northern expedition army split up immediately after they came in. If they hadn’t split up, they only needed to send one person to test the strength of these puppets, and so many people wouldn’t have had to die. As the battle continued, the puppets that should have been silent seemed to be waking up. They began to turn their heads, and their eyes flickered. This made many people’s hearts skip a beat. Earlier, they had only fought one or two puppets alone. The other puppets hadn’t fully woken up. Now, once all the puppets in the city slowly woke up, they would only be more difficult to fight than at the beginning. However, because they had already learned the methods of the puppets, there were more people participating in the battle, so the difficulty didn’t seem to increase much. The puppets had awakened, but the various factions of the northern expedition army could also form groups! Therefore, the outer city became countless small battlefields. From time to time, someone shouted, “Be careful not to be tricked. There’s something wrong with the ground here. It can absorb our flesh and blood and restrain our souls.” A ferocious beast roared, “Don’t self-destruct. You can’t blow yourself up here. Once you do it, it will be difficult for you to regenerate your body. And then you’ll be restrained by the array here and can only die.” The divine beasts warned their men, “Try not to use your born abilities, which will be absorbed too. It’s best if you can kill these puppets with your real combat power.” In the outer city, there were battles everywhere. With the predecessors’ experiences, the remaining people naturally had a way. A perfected Star Transformation Realm cultivator could directly defeat or even kill these puppets. As for peak-level late-stage Star Transformation Realm cultivators, to be honest, they couldn’t really beat these puppets, so they voluntarily formed a ten-person formation. In this way, the casualties of the northern expedition were greatly reduced. As for the divine beasts and the ferocious beasts, the strength of the ferocious beasts was fully demonstrated. In terms of ferociousness and true combat power, few people in the same realm as them could match them. As for the divine beasts, when they unleashed their respective Great Daos and special inherited talents, the ferocious beasts had to avoid them. But at this moment, in terms of pure combat power, the divine beasts were not so powerful. The divine beasts that had rarely died before began to die one after another. Fortunately, some powerful divine beasts were taking action to help them out. Of course, Han Fei was not idle either. He was one of the first batches of people to attack. The Demon Vanquishing Tree was gone, and the puppets came out to defend the city, which meant that something must have happened in the inner city that the Demon Vanquishing Tree had to leave with its original body. The leaves of the Demon Vanquishing Branch could spread out for 50,000 kilometers, but even such a huge body had left. It could be seen that what happened was quite tricky. As for these puppets, Han Fei wasn’t surprised. This city was called Puppet City. How could there be no puppets here? Puppet City hadn’t seen the light of day for millions of years, but the Demon Vanquishing Tree had been killing the Bloody Hand Mine Devils. Where was the huge amount of minerals? Why were there only level-five refined puppets here? Although Han Fei had never entered the inner city, he knew that Puppet City definitely had a large number of level-seven minerals. Since they weren’t in the outer city, they must be in the inner city. And judging from the strength displayed by the minerals puppet, a level-six minerals puppet was completely comparable to a perfected Star Transformation Realm cultivator. If it was a level-seven mineral puppet, only a Dao Lock-level cultivator could deal with it, right? But he wouldn’t tell others about this. If he guessed right, many people should know that if the puppets in the outer city were so strong, how could the inner city be simple? The battle continued. In a one-on-one battle, the level-five mineral puppet was no match for the northern expedition army, the ferocious beasts, and the divine beasts. For a moment, the strong masters took the initiative to attack. The most useful resource in the Infinite Mining Area was the mineral. Now that there were ready-made minerals in front of them, how could they miss them? Therefore, it only took half an hour for them to calm down and take the initiative to attack. Someone exclaimed, “This is definitely a trial. A trial that only the living can enter.” Someone sighed. “The beginning of this trial is too difficult. Six thousand strong masters of our northern expedition army have been killed. This is still the outer city of Puppet City. Who knows what the inner city is like?” Someone said, “No matter what the situation is, although the trial in the outer city is also dangerous, at least we can still fight. Such a mineral puppet is equivalent to many level-five mine demons we kill!” Creak! Swish ~ On a certain street, a ten-person team was fighting against two puppets. Just as the two puppets were about to collapse, a blue arrow suddenly shot through the strongest person in the team. Puff~ Bam~ This person was shot by an arrow and his body suddenly burned. The person tried to extinguish the blue red flame, but unexpectedly, the flame could not be extinguished at all. This person felt that his blood was completely burning, even his soul was burning. “Ahhh~” Accompanied by a painful scream, the others who were in the array with this person were shocked. They immediately stayed away from this person and watched him turn into a burning man. In the blink of an eye, this person’s soul was burned up and he died on the spot. Someone was shocked. “What the hell is this?” Some people immediately looked at the direction where the arrow was shot. It turned out to be from the houses and buildings in the outer city that were abandoned long ago. “Be careful. There are traps in these buildings.” However, the same thing happened hundreds of times again. Even the ferocious beasts and divine beasts failed to block this strange flame arrow. At this moment, everyone felt their scalps tingle. How could this be? Was this trial so difficult? The level-five mineral puppet was already very strong. Now, it was accompanied by some arrows that were suddenly triggered. If one was not careful and was pierced by those arrows, he would die. Even Han Fei encountered such arrows, but Han Fei was more vigilant and responsive and avoided them immediately. On the ferocious beasts’ side, someone shouted, “Smash these buildings.” A five-colored crocodile swept its tail and smashed a building into powder. But in the next moment, dozens of blue arrows burst out of the collapsed house, and they didn’t go in a straight line at all. Their speed reached ten times the speed of light. The crocodile couldn’t dodge in time and was hit by a row of arrows. In the next moment, it turned into a fiery lizard. “Hiss ~” This scene shocked many people. Then someone hurriedly shouted, “Don’t try to break the rules of the trial. Everyone, be careful. The speed of these arrows is only ten times the speed of light. If you pay attention, you can avoid them.” Following the ups and downs of the battle, no other special forces were found in the outer city, and the puppets on the streets were gradually purged. It took nearly a day to finish this battle. However, the destination of all the roads finally pointed to the inner city. When everyone gathered again, they discovered that more than 800 people had died under the attacks of these level-five mineral puppets and flame arrows. Was this a big number? If this place was regarded as a trial, compared to being hunted by the Bloody Hand Mine Devils, the number of casualties was actually not many. When they finally came to the gate of the inner city, many people were relieved, but at the same time, they had complicated feelings. If the outer city was already so dangerous, how dangerous would the inner city be? What Han Fei considered was that these puppets and arrows were probably not aimed at them at all, nor was this a trial. What would happen if the Bloody Hand Mine Devils came in? The Bloody Hand Mine Devils didn’t have high intelligence and mostly acted with instincts. They might be able to defeat the level-five mineral puppets, but it would be quite difficult to directly kill the level-five mineral puppets. Coupled with these arrows, the blue flames should not only have the characteristic of being inextinguishable, but also have the characteristic of burning the ominous. If they were targeted at the Bloody Hand Mine Devils, the outer city alone could probably kill tens of thousands of Bloody Hand Mine Devils. At this moment, the cultivators gathered, and Han Fei counted the number of people. Among them, there were still 8,806 people in the northern expedition army, 3,082 ferocious beasts, and 2,673 divine beasts. It could be said that the three major factions had suffered heavy losses in this northern expedition. However, the death toll of the beasts and the divine beasts was clearly lower than that of the northern expedition army of the Hundred Alliance City. This was mainly because there were too many perfected Star Transformation Realm cultivators from the ferocious beasts and divine beasts. If they had more peak-level late-stage Star Transformation Realm cultivators, they would probably lose at least one-third of their manpower. Under Puppet City, Han Fei looked at the words and felt a buzz in his ears. A terrifying suppressing pressure descended on him, and even his soul couldn’t help but waver. If this was the case for Han Fei, it was even more so for ordinary peak-level late-stage Star Transformation Realm and perfected Star Transformation Realm cultivators. Many people vomited blood and couldn’t even stand straight after seeing the words “Puppet City”. Someone said, “It’s written by a Great Monarch. The words ‘Puppet City’ contain the will and vibe of a Great Monarch. Don’t look at them directly.” Someone was suspicious. “Is this another test? So far, we have only found this door leading to the inner city.” Someone looked around. “What do you think? Are we going in or not?” Someone shook his head slightly. “What can we do if we don’t go in? Stay in the outer city? Outside the barrier, there are so many Bloody Hand Mine Devils blocking our way. I’m afraid we can’t go back the way we came, so we can only go in.” Everyone knew that they should enter, but it was a problem who would enter first. The outer city was full of fatal traps. God knew what dangers awaited them in the inner city. Therefore, they certainly hoped that someone would go in first to test the situation inside. They weren’t afraid that someone would go in first and get the opportunity. According to the situation in the outer city, those who went in first would be very dangerous. Han Fei stepped forward. He didn’t want to wait! Today, he had to enter the inner city no matter what. He needed to investigate the whereabouts of Old Yuan and the Demon Vanquishing Tree. What if his clone was inside? Then as soon as he entered, he could communicate with his clone and immediately understand the cause and effect of the huge change. However, when Han Fei was about to enter, he saw many people blocking his way. Someone said, “Although it’s dangerous to go in, is there anything we haven’t done?” Instantly, more than a dozen strong masters jumped out. Now that they had found the Land of Inheritance, why did they still need Han Fei? Although they didn’t know where the bloody hand Han Fei said was, they knew they had to keep a close eye on Han Fei. Han Fei took a deep look at this person. “Although I don’t know you, are you sure you want to stop me?” The man sneered. “Human Butcher, we tolerated you before because you had the key to enter the Land of Inheritance. But now! The road is right in front of us, and you’re useless to us. So die!” After that, the man said, “Everyone, this person is a bloodthirsty person. He appeared in the Infinite Mining Area for less than ten years, but countless strong masters have been killed by him, directly or indirectly. How many people have died because of him on this northern expedition? Also, although he said that he had the key, is it true? He said that the land of inheritance is not in Puppet City, but in fact, until now, we have been undergoing trials of Puppet City. Therefore, this person’s words are not trustworthy. It’s better to eliminate him now to prevent future trouble.” However, Han Fei stood where he was calmly without any intention of escaping. Han Fei said, “Which force are you from? I’ll remember it. After I go out, I’ll definitely wipe out your faction’s influence in the Infinite Mining Area.” Before the man could speak, Chen Tianya said to Han Fei telepathically, “This is Lin Ke from the Divine Manipulator family in the Divine Demon Forest in the Central Sea Divine Realm. He has at least three Dao Locks, and the Divine Demon Forest ranks sixth in the Hundred Alliance City. Lin Ke didn’t know that his identity had been exposed in an instant. At this moment, he was looking around at the other cultivators. He knew that many people had already decided to kill Han Fei on this trip. Otherwise, no one would immediately follow Han Fei every time he did something, which was to prevent him from escaping. Now, the time had come. Everyone knew the way to enter the inner city at a glance. If they survived the Great Monarch’s suppressing pressure, they would pass the trial. As for what was in the inner city, no one knew, but everyone knew that once entering the inner city, it would be dangerous, and Han Fei would have plenty of chances to escape their sight. In that case, why not kill him now? The outer city of Puppet City was only this big, and there was only one entrance to the inner city. Outside, there were countless Bloody Hand Mine Devils eyeing them covetously. Therefore, the outer city of Puppet City had become a cage. At least, Lin Ke felt that if they attacked Han Fei now, he would definitely be killed. 2599 Two Punches (2 in 1) Many people were tempted by Lin Ke’s words. Wushuang frowned slightly. In such a situation, if Han Fei didn’t have a way to escape, it would be difficult for him to resist so many strong masters. However, when Lin Ke said that he was going to kill Han Fei, a group of perfected Star Transformation Realm cultivators suddenly came out from the team of the itinerant cultivators. Someone said, “Without the Human Emperor, how can you find Puppet City? Burning the bridge after crossing it? Are the Hundred Alliances so shameless?” Someone drew his saber. “I wanted to curse just now. I was already very unhappy when you abandoned us and fled alone. If it weren’t for the Human Emperor’s help, we might have died. Today, I’d like to see if your Hundred Alliances dare to fight us.” An itinerant cultivator laughed. “Do these cowards dare to fight us? They are so afraid of death. Now they haven’t even seen any opportunities yet. Why would they choose to fight us to the death?” “F*ck, how can the Divine Demon Forest of the Central Sea Divine Realm be so arrogant? Don’t forget, this is the East Sea Divine Realm, not your Central Sea Divine Realm! Even if you are a dragon, you have to coil here.” On the side of the itinerant cultivators, all perfected Star Transformation Realm and peak-level late-stage Star Transformation Realm cultivators stood up. There were nearly 3,000 people. In this northern expedition, there were 15,000 people in total, including 6,000 itinerant cultivators. Now, half of them had been killed. However, even if they suffered heavy casualties, so what? Itinerant cultivators were still a strong group. Han Fei had done them a favor, so they remembered it in their hearts. They also remembered how ruthless the Hundred Alliance was to them and could flare up at any time. Lin Ke snorted coldly. “You itinerant cultivators are not weak, but don’t forget how many perfected Star Transformation Realm cultivators there are among you. Do you really want to fight the Hundred Alliance for an irrelevant person?” An itinerant cultivator clamored, “Even if we have to fight you to the death, so what? Anyway, the inner city must be dangerous. Based on our current experience, many people are bound to die. No one can guarantee that they can survive. In that case, why bother to think so much? Let’s see if you dare to fight. If you dare to fight, come. If you don’t, enter the inner city. Let’s find a chance to fight again.” Lin Ke’s face was all dark. There was a reason why he wanted to kill Han Fei now. Han Fei was too strong and had five Dao Locks. If they really fought, few people present might be able to survive a few rounds with him. If they were placed in an environment like the inner city that might be even more complicated, who could stop Han Fei? What conditions did they have to keep Han Fei in the inner city? Besides, he had already proposed to kill Han Fei, which meant that they were already enemies. Besides, Han Fei had already declared that as long as he went out, he would take revenge on the Divine Demon Forest. It wasn’t a good thing to provoke a strong master with five Dao Locks in the Infinite Mining Area. Lin Ke was caught in a dilemma. He thought to himself, Do these people really not want to kill Han Fei? One of the seven strong masters Han Fei had killed was his junior brother. But didn’t the factions of the other people killed by Han Fei want to take revenge on him? Lin Ke shouted, “Everyone, are you really afraid of these itinerant cultivators? You know, if we don’t kill the Human Butcher now, there may be no chance. If you let him go, who knows if Human Butcher will come after you in the future?” While many people were hesitating whether to kill Han Fei, they suddenly heard Han Fei chuckle. “Well, the itinerant cultivators are weak. I don’t need your help.” Then, Han Fei said, “Even if I’m alone, how can I be controlled by you pieces of garbage? You’re from the Divine Demon Forest in the Central Sea Divine Realm, right? I’ll remember your name. Either you come to kill me now, or I’ll wipe out the people of the Divine Demon Forest in the Infinite Mining Area in the future. As for the others, if you want to attack me, seize this opportunity and attack me as soon as possible. You know, you may not have a second chance.” Han Fei refused the itinerant cultivators’ kindness, which made many of them speechless. We are standing up for you! Don’t you know your current situation? Do you really want to fight so many people? Even if you are a super cultivator with five Dao Locks, you can’t resist so many strong masters! On the ferocious beasts; side, the big cat Wang Xiaojiu shouted, “Human Butcher, join our ferocious beasts! Join us, and I’ll help you kill this person, okay?” Lin Ke was speechless. What the hell has this got to do with you ferocious beasts? However, Han Fei glanced at Wang Xiaojiu and said proudly, “Thank you for your kindness, but there’s no need. I’m not in a good mood today. I just want to kill someone to vent.” With that, Han Fei disappeared with a swish, so fast that he seemed to have never moved. Among the audience, there were only a few people who could keep up with Han Fei’s speed, and Wang Xiaojiu was one of them. This was because Han Fei had unleashed a speed that was almost impossible to achieve in the Sky Opening Realm. It was 30 times the speed of light. It was too fast. With everyone’s strength suppressed and the power of the Heavenly Dao unable to be borrowed, even Wang Xiaojiu could only unleash a speed of more than 20 times the speed of light. But Han Fei had unleashed 30 times the speed of light. What did this mean? It meant that Han Fei’s strength was not suppressed much. Or rather, Han Fei was extremely talented in speed and was not suppressed by Puppet City. Anyway, before anyone realized what happened, Han Fei had punched Lin Ke. Because the speed was so fast, Lin Ke certainly didn’t have time to react. Bang! Lin Ke exploded into pieces. So far, no one had survived Han Fei’s Silencing Fist unscathed. However, after the punch, Han Fei also knew Lin Ke’s strength. His body hardness was comparable to that of a strong master with four Dao Locks, but he seemed to newly get four Dao Locks. Unfortunately, Lin Ke didn’t expect Han Fei to attack so openly. He didn’t expect Han Fei to be so fast that he didn’t even have time to react. As it happened, this was Puppet City, so at the moment Lin Ke exploded, half of his flesh and blood were absorbed by the array patterns on the ground. Fortunately, Lin Ke was from the Divine Demon Forest, so he used the Death Replacement Technique the moment he exploded. He forcibly mobilized a large amount of life force to regather his body. At the same time, four Great Dao Locks appeared and snapped. He knew that if he didn’t erupt at this moment, he would be dead meat if Han Fei attacked again. At this moment, he finally understood how strong Human Butcher was. A lunatic who dared to face tens of thousands of Bloody Hand Mine Devils alone might not be really crazy, but was definitely really strong. Many people didn’t realize until now that Han Fei had almost killed a strong master with four Dao Locks on the spot. At that moment, the people from the Divine Demon Forest finally reacted and wanted to save Lin Ke and stop Han Fei. However, in the next second, the same punch was thrown. The magical vine appeared in front of Lin Ke, trying to block this punch. After all, being prepared and breaking the Great Dao Locks, Lin Ke had his strength soared. However, to Lin Ke’s surprise, Han Fei’s second punch contained a terrifying cold power. In an instant, all the magical demonic plants and vines were frozen and then shattered. “The power of a Monarch?” Someone was surprised. Wasn’t this the power that only Monarchs could show? The result was predictable. Lin Ke was knocked to the ground again and exploded again. Unfortunately, this time, he couldn’t use the Death Replacement Spell even if he wanted to. His soul was attracted and his blood and Qi were absorbed by the ground. He hit the ground with a bang. All his flesh and blood flowed to the ground, and his soul had nowhere to escape. A super cultivator who unlocked four Dao Locks had died just like that. Seeing this scene, everyone present felt their scalps tingle. For example, Chen Tianya, who had been assigned to help Han Fei, was shocked. Han Fei hadn’t proven his Dao yet, but he was already so strong? Just now, he could only vaguely see Han Fei’s traces. Was this the strength that a Sky Opening Realm cultivator should have? A casual strike of him had the power of a Venerable? Was he actually a Dao Prover? The only person present who wasn’t surprised was Wushuang. If these people knew Han Fei’s identity, they wouldn’t be surprised. It would be strange if the current descendant of the Void Temple could be casually killed by you. By the time the other people from the Divine Demon Forest arrived, Lin Ke was already dead. Han Fei shook his clothes and looked coldly at the people rushing at him. With a glance, everyone retreated. Their boss was killed before he could even take two punches. Why would they go up? Did they want to die? The strong masters of the Hundred Alliances looked at each other in bewilderment. Someone said, “The Human Butcher doesn’t seem friendly! Logically speaking, with his strength, there’s no need for him to come to the Infinite Mining Area at all. He’s here for the inheritance of the Great Monarch, right?” Someone echoed, “Of course! He might even have come for the inheritance of a god. Otherwise, such a figure wouldn’t have come to compete with us.” Some strong masters secretly observed Han Fei and calculated in their hearts. Although Han Fei was very strong, what did he use in his second punch just now? That was not a technique he could use himself. He must be holding something in his hand. Someone noticed it and said, “The fist mark he used just now was undoubtedly a divine technique. But even if it was a divine technique, if all the strong masters present attack him together, Human Butcher will still be no match for us. That kind of outburst just now couldn’t last forever. And the space here is too small. Although he is fast, there is too little room for him to exert his strength.” Someone shook his head. “I don’t think there’s a need to fight such a meaningless battle for now. We haven’t entered the inner city yet. It’s meaningless to lose so many people here.” As for the ferocious beasts, Wang Xiaojiu exclaimed, “What, his speed is even faster than mine? How is it possible? My speed is almost unparalleled among the ferocious beasts.” Mo Jiu said, “It seems to be a good thing if this person can really join us. Unfortunately, this is almost impossible.” As for the divine beasts, the white tiger, the golden deer, and the others also looked at each other in bewilderment. The white tiger commented, “This person’s physique is too strong, his soul power is also unparalleled, and he has an ultra-quality godly weapon. In Puppet City, under many suppressions, his strength still can’t be suppressed. It can be seen that he has guessed what he will face since he dared to fall into this situation alone. However, it’s said that the bloodline of the human race isn’t very strong. How did such a strong master come into being?” With Lin Ke’s death, the other strong masters present immediately lost the intention to deal with Han Fei. It wasn’t that they didn’t dare to deal with him, but in the current environment, facing a strong master like Han Fei whose strength hadn’t been suppressed much, their losses must be huge. Who would be willing to stand out? Lin Ke stood out, so Lin Ke died. Han Fei looked at everyone with a smile. “Does anyone still want to fight? I repeat, you may not have a second chance to fight me.” At this moment, Wushuang stood up. “Alright, I think we can avoid unnecessary fights. Now we’re only in the outer city of Puppet City. What you should consider is how to deal with the situation in the inner city, not how to fight among yourselves.” A strong master took the opportunity to change the topic. “That’s right. Instead of killing each other here, let’s finish this trial first. We’ve gained a lot from the huge outer city of Puppet City. The inner city must be even better than the outer city. Why should we lose more for a small gain?” Han Fei took the lead. “No one dares to enter, right? Then, I’ll go in.” Han Fei didn’t continue to chase the people from the Divine Demon Forest, because these people wouldn’t allow him to slaughter wantonly. Han Fei knew very well that although he could intimidate these people for a while, it didn’t mean that he could really be unscrupulous. Besides, there was plenty of time to hunt these people. But this time, he was here to find the old turtle. He wanted to know what happened here. Upon hearing that Han Fei was going to enter, the leaders of the major factions all nodded to some of the strong masters on their sides. So nearly a hundred people suddenly appeared and wanted to enter with Han Fei. They definitely had to enter the inner city, but with the Great Monarch’s handwriting above their heads, it wasn’t easy to enter the inner city. Someone had to go first. Han Fei walked in front. Although everyone felt that he couldn’t get much resources from the inner city, it was better to be safe than sorry. Therefore, someone had to follow him up. Han Fei strode to the gate of the inner city. Buzz! Just by standing here, a terrifying suppressing pressure immediately descended. In addition to the suppressing pressure, Han Fei felt that his body was getting heavier and heavier. Some powerful force was trying to suppress him. “The power of laws?” Han Fei could clearly sense that this power exceeded the Great Dao of Strength. It descended on him from multiple angles including bloodline, soul, and mind. It was as if a huge star was pressing down on him. “Pfft!” And among these hundred people, half of them were a little unsteady, and blood flowed from the corners of their mouths. However, because the people who entered the inner city with Han Fei were all Perfected Star Transformation Realm cultivators, no one was crushed by the Great Monarch’s handwriting. They just felt very uncomfortable and couldn’t move. Swish ~ A green light suddenly bloomed and for no reason, sprinkled on Han Fei and the hundred cultivators. As the light shone, three of the hundred cultivators suddenly emitted a large amount of black smoke. Among the onlookers, someone’s expression suddenly changed. “Not good. It’s the ominous power.” Someone exclaimed, “Aren’t the people who were contaminated by the ominous all dead at the barrier outside?” The three perfected Star Transformation Realm cultivators were also a little shocked. When did they get the ominous power? However, it seemed to be too late to consider this now. The light seemed to have the power to cleanse the ominous and even attack the host. The three of them had no room to resist at all. Their bodies burned up, and in the end, they turned into flying ash amidst low roars. “Gulp ~” This scene really shocked everyone. Even perfected Star Transformation Realm cultivators were unknowingly infected! And why wasn’t it noticed when they passed the barrier of Puppet City? Was it because the barrier was too low-leveled? Or was it because this Great Monarch’s handwriting was more powerful? Besides, what about the others? How many people had unknowingly been infected by the ominous? Except for the three of them, things were much smoother for Han Fei and the others. They didn’t show any abnormalities when the light swept past, so they easily entered and disappeared from the city gate. At the moment when Han Fei and the others passed through the city gate, everyone suddenly felt their hearts skip a beat, because the auras of death seemed to have locked onto them. When they looked back, they saw tens of thousands of flaming arrows rising from the outer city. These arrows accumulated power in the air and seemed to be about to shoot at everyone in the next moment. “Not good. Let’s enter the inner city.” At that moment, even a fool knew that it was the city’s defense mechanism that was forcing them to enter the inner city. And its purpose was self-evident. It was clearly to completely purge all those who were infected by the ominous through the Great Monarch’s handwriting. There was nothing they could do. If they didn’t, they would be shot to death by arrows. It was just that those who were tainted by the ominous would be purified. Therefore, a large number of people rushed into the inner city. Swish! Swish! Swish! When the light swept over again, there were more than 300 people burning at the same time. Most of them only had blood at the corner of their mouths. Some might have their internal organs injured, and some had their souls injured. However, such injuries couldn’t kill them. Among these more than 300 people, there were more than 100 ferocious beasts, but not a single divine beast was among them. This was easy to understand. Although the ferocious beasts had a way to deal with the ominous, and it was very difficult for them to be infected by the ominous, there were always exceptions. Not every ferocious beast had the ability to resist the ominous. It was precisely because they were confident of resisting the ominous that nearly a hundred ferocious beasts were contaminated by it and died at this moment. However, to everyone’s shock, so many people who were tainted by the ominous had fooled the spiritual barrier. … Puppet City, inner city. The moment Han Fei stepped into the inner city, he immediately felt that his perception had been blocked. He couldn’t enter his Origin Star, but he could connect to it. This meant that here, the Origin Stars could only be connected from the inside, but it was difficult to enter them from the outside. It meant that one could enter Puppet City from his Origin Star, but couldn’t enter his Origin Star from Puppet City. However, Han Fei tried it and found that some small items such as minerals could still be taken into his Origin Star. Everything else was no different from the outer city. After his perception was blocked, Han Fei took a step forward and disappeared from the vision of these cultivators in the blink of an eye. These perfected Star Transformation Realm cultivators were here to watch Han Fei, but they didn’t expect Han Fei to be so impudent and impulsive. Without knowing the specific situation in the inner city, he rushed out. Less than three seconds after Han Fei disappeared, the northern expedition army, the divine beasts, and the ferocious beasts rushed in one after another. Many leaders and cultivators discovered that Han Fei was gone the moment they came in. Immediately, someone shouted angrily, “Where is the Human Butcher? Where is the Human Butcher?” The people who came in with Han Fei were speechless too. One of them said, “As soon as we came in, he rushed in. We found that the perception here was ineffective, so we couldn’t catch up with him even if we wanted to. Besides, we didn’t know what dangers were here, so we didn’t rush in.” Someone’s expression changed. “Damn, could this guy have been to Puppet City long ago? Now that this person has run away, God knows what he is going to do.” Someone couldn’t help regretting it. “Damn it. I should have cooperated with Lin Ke to trap and kill him when we were in the outer city. Now that he’s gone, he might be heading straight for the real treasure of Puppet City, or even the inheritance of the Great Monarch Mystic Martial.” “Meow.” Wang Xiaojiu said resentfully, “If I had known earlier, I would have come in with him. This person is very cunning. If I’m not careful, he will disappear. What if he snatches my inheritance?” Mo Jiu said, “Cut the crap. Since he is gone, let it be. In any case, although this trip is dangerous, we’ve gained a lot. Besides, this is also a trial. We can only rely on ourselves. If there is a Great Monarch’s inheritance here, we will find it sooner or later.” In the army of the northern expedition, Chen Tianya was a little speechless. This guy ran away just like that? Why didn’t he take us with him? In any case, we are here to cooperate with him! Wushuang didn’t care what Han Fei did. She was certain that Han Fei hadn’t gone deep into this place. Otherwise, Han Fei would have told her early on. After all, she was his only partner in this northern expedition. She guessed that Han Fei must’ve run away because he couldn’t perceive this place. A five Dao Lock-level powerhouse in the dark was truly terrifying. Wushuang also knew that the people from the Divine Demon Forest, the City of Origin, and the City of Scavengers were going to suffer. Han Fei was not a kind person. One of his purposes here was to kill the people from the City of Origin and the City of Scavengers. Wushuang shouted, “Don’t care about him for now. The perception can’t be used in the inner city. Let’s push forward together. If the trial seal is triggered, continue to explore on a small scale. Remember to be careful. The inner city is not the outer city. Without perception working, every corner here is full of danger.” … As soon as Han Fei ran out for a thousand kilometers, he was blocked by hundreds of arrows in a row. Fortunately, he was fast and agile. Otherwise, he would have been shot into a beehive. “It turns out that the inner city is forbidden from flying.” Yes, flying was forbidden in the inner city. And on the surface, there were complicated buildings and statues standing on both sides of the road. The moment he landed, Han Fei activated the Twin Divine Technique, and his black mist body quietly avoided the puppets. As for his white mist body, as soon as it landed, it was attacked by five puppets. Han Fei discovered that unlike the outer city, the puppets in the inner city were extremely efficient, and his appearance seemed to have activated the puppets in this area. They actually formed small teams and began to patrol the streets. “An organized and disciplined level-six mineral puppet army?” Before Han Fei took any action, all of a sudden, he saw that the surrounding buildings, the ground, and even some real stone statues suddenly opened holes. From each hole, a blue arrow shot out. Han Fei turned his head and looked at the sky, only to find that many cultivators were flying in the sky, becoming live targets. Han Fei was speechless. Isn’t this stupid? Wouldn’t it be better to disperse? Why did they have to gather together as a target? 2600 The City of Scavengers in the Inner City (2 in 1) The northern expedition army felt that the doomsday was coming. They just flew from the sky and tried to push forward. However, who would have expected that after observing the situation in the city, they were shot by tens of thousands of arrows? However, they didn’t immediately realize that it was a flying ban from Puppet City. After the first wave of arrows burst out, most people could still react and only dozens of them were hit. However, after dodging the arrow, these people didn’t land immediately but continued to hover in the air. They thought that the arrow appeared to target all of them. However, when the hundreds of people who escaped were pierced by the arrows, they realized the problem. Everybody shouted at the same time, “Everyone, land on the ground. No flying is allowed here. Otherwise, you will be hunted endlessly.” As soon as hearing the words, everyone landed immediately. Although they might encounter puppets after landing, it was better than being a target in the sky. However, there were still some people who decided to land on the top of a building, thinking that it was fine as long as they didn’t fly into the sky as targets. But immediately afterwards, arrows shot into the sky from the buildings they were in, directly blowing them up. At this moment, everyone realized the seriousness of the problem. Not only could they not stay in the sky, but they couldn’t stay in the buildings either. They could only step on the ground. As soon as they reached the ground, many people encountered the level-six mineral puppets that had just woken up. The peak-level late-stage Star Transformation Realm cultivators were horrified to see the level-six mineral puppets, as if they were facing a great enemy. But the cultivators in the perfected Star Transformation Realm were very excited to see the level-six mineral puppets, thinking that if they could get some level-six mineral puppets, they would make a fortune. Because of the two different mentalities, the first thought of peak-level late-stage Star Transformation Realm cultivators was to find other peak-level late-stage Star Transformation Realm cultivators and form an array to fight them. Only in this way could he survive. Unfortunately, the crowd was dispersed. Although they might not be very far away, there were all kinds of buildings around, blocking their vision. It would take some time for them to quickly return to the team or form an array. But the mineral puppets wouldn’t give you time. When the first mineral puppet woke up, the battle had already begun. Voices rose and fell in the city. Although no one could see it, they could still shout. Someone shouted, “All the peak-level late-stage Star Transformation Realm cultivators nearby, gather here.” Someone exclaimed, “Not good! Be careful of these level-six mineral puppets. Most of them have formed a five-person team to deal with our attack. Is there any strong master nearby? Please come and support us.” Someone shouted, “Where are the people near this street? Come here and set up an array!” Someone fell to the ground and encountered a puppet. Even if he fully unleashed his strength, he only blasted the puppet dozens of meters away and his body was pierced by the fist light. Fortunately, the other party seemed to be a little slow, which allowed him to escape. Shocked, the man shouted, “A level-six mineral puppet is comparable to a perfected Star Transformation Realm cultivator in strength. Peak-level late-stage Star Transformation Realm cultivators, don’t resist them head-on. Set up arrays if you can, and approach the perfected Star Transformation Realm cultivators if you can’t.” At this moment, someone shouted, “Attention, everyone. As long as you keep silent and don’t erupt with energy waves, avoid their vision, you can avoid their attacks.” For a time, everyone in the streets was in a flurry. Some people ran straight to the nearby perfected Star Transformation Realm cultivators, and some hid in a corner among the buildings. Someone teamed up with others and set up an array. Some people ran into the building and never came out again, but inside the building, flames were shining, and then it was silent. Everyone felt that the guy who went in must have been burned to death. There were many people who ran into the buildings like this. There might be hundreds of them. At present, only 10% of them made it out safely. And among these 10%, only one person got an ultra-quality technique from the house. He didn’t say anything and directly stuffed it into his Origin Star. Someone shouted, “Don’t enter the building. It’s full of puppets.” “F*ck, all puppets?” These words frightened many people so much that they gave up the idea of entering the buildings. Although they didn’t know where each other was, they could still shout if necessary. For example, don’t enter the interior of the buildings casually. There might be traps. Anyway, no one said that they would find anything good from the buildings. Among the scattered crowd, the top factions had their advantages. Although their members were scattered, they were divided into small groups. Among all the people, the safest were the itinerant cultivators. Because the itinerant cultivators formed groups and were very good at forming groups, they would run to one place as soon as they landed. When they gathered together, they would form an array and kill the level-six mineral puppets. As for the ferocious beasts and the divine beasts, they were very keen. As soon as the arrows appeared, they landed on the ground. After landing, all the ferocious beasts and divine beasts gathered together. Mo Jiu said, “Now, even if you are a perfected Star Transformation Realm cultivator, form a team of at least three. We are here to find opportunities, not to die. It’s not a bad idea to be careful.” The white tiger also shouted, “Everyone, split up and find a place to hide. Don’t stick to one street. If you encounter the ferocious beasts, ignore them. The mineral puppets are secondary. Our main goal is the real inheritance. And the real inheritance is definitely not on these broken roads.” What the white tiger meant was that minerals were definitely not the primary resource. The entire city was protected by mineral puppets, so what heritage did this city have? Whatever it was, it was definitely much more valuable than minerals. Han Fei didn’t go to search for the old turtle and his clone immediately. He used the Vast Ocean Navigator, which pointed to where the old turtle was going. But Han Fei didn’t rush over immediately. The Vast Ocean Navigator in his hand turned again. This time, his target was Luo Chen from the City of Scavengers. … At this moment, Luo Chen was leading seventeen or eighteen people. Some were fighting the level-six mineral puppets, some were healing themselves, and some were forming teams and trying to enter some tall buildings. Luo Chen shouted, “All peak-level late-stage Star Transformation Realm cultivators, you don’t have to do anything in the inner city. You can explore the way. For example, find the place of inheritance! The mayor’s residence! If you make contributions, you will be rewarded when you go out in the future.” However, after Luo Chen arranged nine people to explore the way, no one returned after five hundred seconds. Luo Chen felt that these people had all been killed. He instructed, “Everyone, head to the next street. Don’t delay too long.” Just as Luo Chen was about to abandon those people and take the remaining perfected Star Transformation Realm cultivators to the neighboring streets, suddenly, a team of three people returned. One of them had already fallen into a coma, and the other two were covered in blood. Obviously, they had just experienced a large-scale battle. Luo Chen didn’t doubt him. He said, “Why have you been gone for so long? What happened?” One of them said, “Boss, there aren’t any of our people in the neighboring streets. We were discovered by the puppets. Fortunately, we could use these buildings to avoid them, so we managed to escape.” Luo Chen nodded slightly. “That’s normal. It would be strange if there’s no danger in a city built by a Great Monarch.” The person who spoke said, “Boss, although we didn’t find any of our people in the neighboring streets, when we were wandering in the alleys, we accidentally found a strange well that seemed to have an extremely strong smell of minerals.” “A well?” Luo Chen’s heart did a flip, but he was not overjoyed. This should be a small opportunity, but it was definitely not a big one. However, it was better to have an opportunity than to not have one. If he got more small opportunities, it would naturally become a big opportunity. Luo Chen’s heart stirred. He said telepathically to the people who were fighting, “End the battle quickly. Follow me.” A quick battle meant a lot of consumption. In order to end the battle quickly, one had to activate their own Great Dao crazily. In order to prevent the puppets from counterattacking and perishing together with them, everyone had to be as careful as possible. Even though Luo Chen said to end the battle quickly, it still took them more than thirty seconds to finish the battle. Of course, the gains were five level-six mineral puppets, which were worth a lot. After a while, Luo Chen followed the three peak-level late-stage Star Transformation Realm cultivators to the well. Near the well, there was a barrier. When they saw the barrier, the eyes of Luo Chen and the other cultivators lit up. As long as there was a barrier, it meant that there would be opportunities. This barrier was obviously not very complicated. At least for Luo Chen, who had four Dao Locks, it could be broken with only a little effort. After another hundred seconds, when the spiritual barrier opened, an even richer mineral power dissipated from the well. Sensing this power, Luo Chen said to the three cultivators, “The three of you, go down and check it out.” The expressions of the three people changed slightly, as if they were worried about something. Luo Chen said, “Don’t worry. I didn’t sense any danger here. Just go down!” The three struggled for a while and finally stepped into the well. However, after only ten seconds, a voice came from the well. “Boss, something is wrong. There is a sword inserted here.” Upon hearing this, Luo Chen’s eyes lit up. He winked at the two people beside him and said, “You two, stay here. The rest of you, follow me down.” At first, Luo Chen thought that it must be a good item to be hidden in such a place. It should be at least a high-quality godly weapon, right? Anyway, it couldn’t be a low-quality godly weapon. Otherwise, it could be obtained in any era. There was no need to hide it. However, the moment Luo Chen and the others landed, they suddenly felt that something was wrong. Luo Chen subconsciously retreated, but his body hit the layers of seals hard. In the next moment, he saw ice spreading. The extreme cold turned the four people who came down with him into ice sculptures. However, what surprised Han Fei was that a fire bead flickered between the eyebrows of the four guys who had been frozen into ice sculptures at the same time, narrowly blocking the power of extreme cold. “Huh?” This was the first time Han Fei had seen perfected Star Transformation Realm cultivators block the power of the Extreme Cold Pearl so easily. After all, this was the terrifying power of the Carefree Level. In the blink of an eye, Han Fei punched four times in a row, smashing the four ice sculptures. After all, it was the power of the Carefree Level. Although they could barely withstand it, they didn’t rely on their own strength, but the small fiery red bead. Han Fei casually picked one up, and information popped up in his eyes: Chaotic Fire Origin A void flame born in the depths of the Chaotic Sea. It’s extremely scorching and can burn everything. If it’s refined into a magic weapon, it can resist extreme cold. Chaotic spiritual fire Ordinary 211,536 points After refining it, it can resist extreme cold and is immune to the Great Dao of Fire to a certain extent. When he saw this information, Han Fei immediately understood. Above the ice of the Chaotic Wasteland was extreme cold, but these people had the power to resist extreme cold. This meant that they might really come from above the ice. However, even if they had the Chaotic Fire Origin, it could only resist the extreme cold of nature. The extreme cold power unleashed by the Extreme Cold Pearl, on the other hand, contained the power of the Carefree Level. It was completely different from ordinary extreme cold. Therefore, when these people were frozen, they were already heavily injured, so the Chaotic Fire Origin had to appear to protect them. However, they still couldn’t resist Han Fei’s fist light. They could only watch helplessly as Han Fei shattered the ice and their bodies exploded. Han Fei reached out and picked up the remains of these four people into his Origin Star. Then he looked at Luo Chen, who had also turned into an ice sculpture. However, Luo Chen was better than the others. He broke the Great Dao Locks immediately, and a Chaotic Fire Origin appeared in front of him. “Cough, cough ~” Luo Chen coughed out a mouthful of blood with ice chips and said in horror, “Who are you? Why did you attack the City of Scavengers?” At this moment, how could Luo Chen not understand that the people he sent to search had been controlled? Not only that, but the other party had also set up an ambush to ambush him. This meant that the other party definitely had the strength of four Dao Locks or above. From the looks of it, the range had been narrowed down. Few people in the entire Northern Expedition Army had the power of extreme cold and the strength to kill a powerhouse with four Dao Locks. Suddenly, Luo Chen couldn’t believe it. In the northern expedition army, there was only one person who had such strength and could use the power of extreme cold, and that was the Human Butcher. “Human Butcher?” Han Fei grinned. “You got it right. Unfortunately, there is no reward.” Luo Chen was horrified. “Why did you attack our City of Scavengers?” Han Fei looked at him with a faint smile. “Do you even need to ask? Our human race and your City of Scavengers are mortal enemies. Don’t you find it ridiculous to ask me why I killed your people?” Luo Chen’s expression changed drastically. “You’re indeed from the City of Wanderers. You’re indeed from the Chaotic Wasteland.” Han Fei said, “No, you’re wrong. I’m really the Human Emperor, the emperor of the human race. We’ll wipe out your Ten Thousand Scale Race, which will start from the Infinite Mining Area. Don’t worry. I’ll find all the people from the City of Scavengers who came to the Infinite Mining Area one by one. They will soon accompany you down.” “Explode!” Luo Chen and Han Fei chatted for a long time, not because he really wanted to chat, but to stall for time. Of course, Han Fei didn’t care, letting him stall for time and struggle. A piece of treasure armor appeared in front of Luo Chen, which turned into a jade armor barrier, completely blocking the power of extreme cold. At this moment, Luo Chen roared, “Zhou Yi, Lan Feng, come down and help me.” Unfortunately, although Luo Chen’s voice was as loud as thunder, this place had been completely sealed by Han Fei, so the two people above certainly couldn’t hear him. Seeing that his cry for help was invalid, Luo Chen was not completely panicked. He had completely unleashed his strength and all his four Dao Locks were broken. The long-lost feeling was too strong. At the moment when Luo Chen thought that he could fight Han Fei, Han Fei stretched out his hand and pointed. “Steal.” In the next moment, Luo Chen discovered, to his shock, where was his armor? Then he saw that his armor appeared in front of Han Fei. “Hiss ~” Luo Chen felt that it was ridiculous, but he was also frightened. He knew that he couldn’t wait to be killed, so he immediately prepared to fight Han Fei with all his strength. But Han Fei said again, “Steal.” This time, a pagoda flew out from between Luo Chen’s eyebrows. “How is that possible?” Luo Chen was shocked. His Soul-Subduing godly weapon was taken out by Han Fei? But he didn’t feel any soul impact! Han Fei curled his lips. One thing difficult to deal with about the strong masters was that they had too many treasures. Bang! Bang! Bang! Since he couldn’t steal his consciousness, he would use force. For a moment, the impact in the well was so huge that it could be described as earth-shaking. However, no matter how hard the impact hit, the outside world still didn’t know. Han Fei had already placed thousands of seals here, just in case. In such a small head-on clash, Han Fei activated his Great Dao. How could Luo Chen be his match? However, Luo Chen was not a simple person. He had received a hint from Wushuang. On the surface, there were only a hundred people from the City of Scavengers, but there was no shortage of strong masters in Luo Chen’s Origin Star. The next moment, thirty-two cultivators in the perfected Star Transformation Realm suddenly appeared. Luo Chen roared, “Come on! Try again if you have the guts! Human Butcher, you’re dead meat today.” Han Fei had already expected that Luo Chen would hide the real number of people from the City of Scavengers in this northern expedition. This was why he had designed such a trap instead of directly attacking and killing Luo Chen. The moment these thirty-two people appeared, tens of thousands of God Sealing Spears suddenly appeared in the well. As soon as the God Sealing Spears were activated, the 32 people who had already been suppressed by Puppet City in the first place were suppressed by the God Sealing Spears now, so their strength was reduced by more than 40%. That was not all. Han Fei took out the Infinity Water and detonated it. The next second, seven or eight people were seriously injured. They didn’t know what happened, but their strength was greatly suppressed the moment they came out. Then, they were bombarded by the self-detonation of a high-quality godly weapon. However, how could a high-quality godly weapon kill so many cultivators in the perfected Star Transformation Realm? In fact, no one was killed by this self-detonation. However, Han Fei didn’t panic at all. He smiled and said, “Do you think you’re the only one who has people, and I don’t?” As Han Fei issued an order in his heart, thousands of Flash Lizards appeared at the bottom of the well. Yes, the tiny space in the well was filled with more than a thousand Sky Opening realm cultivators. When Luo Chen and the thirty-two Perfected Star Transformation Realm cultivators saw these more than a thousand Flash Lizards, they were stunned. What the hell is going on? Luo Chen’s consciousness was still clear. His first reaction was that it was impossible. Only the Soul Controlling Sect had the means to control so many mine demons. However, in the next moment, Luo Chen’s heart skipped a beat. Yang Kun, the leader of the Soul Controlling Sect, had been killed by Han Fei. Then, could it be that the Soul Controlling Sect’s method of controlling the mine demons had also fallen into Han Fei’s hands? Unfortunately, it was useless to think about it now. In such a narrow space, 33 vs. 1,000. Although they could fight, there was still Han Fei. Boom! Boom! Boom! Puff! Puff! Puff! An hour later. Thousands of Flash Lizards died, but Han Fei added another thousand. On the City of Scavengers’ side, there were only thirteen people who had died. As for the others, some were nailed to the bottom of the well by Han Fei’s God Sealing Spears, some were tied up by Han Fei’s Void Lines, and some fell into a deep sleep under the Void Stealing Technique. After everyone was solved, Luo Chen fell directly to the bottom of the well. His last thought was that he was doomed. … Zhou Yi and Lan Feng, who had been guarding outside the well, both felt that these people had been in for too long. Should they try contacting them? Just as the two of them were about to shout at the well, they suddenly saw a figure coming out of the well. Seeing that it was their boss, they were relieved. “Steal, steal…” However, as soon as they heard the word “steal”, one of them fell into a deep sleep, and a small boat flew out between the eyebrows of the other, trying to resist Han Fei’s Void Stealing Technique. However, Han Fei punched out and directly smashed this low-quality godly weapon boat. Then, the Void Lines clasped and he began to refine corpse puppets. He wanted to destroy the City of Scavengers and the City of Origin, but it didn’t mean that he had to kill everyone with his own hands. His goal was too big and he had too many enemies. For future consideration, he had to keep a low profile. Once he took down the strongest Luo Chen, the City of Scavengers was already taken in Han Fei’s opinion. His purpose in the Infinite Mining Area was not Luo Chen but Zhang Beihai. Now, it could only be regarded as a heavy blow to the force of the City of Scavengers in the Infinite Mining Area. At present, in the City of Scavengers, there were four Dao Lock-level powerhouses controlled by Han Fei, and 19 perfected Star Transformation Realm powerhouses. These people had all been refined by Han Fei into living dead puppets. Unfortunately, Han Fei had no time to study the body, bloodline, and soul of the Ten Thousand Scale Race. Otherwise, he could use the Soul Controlling Law Seal to completely control these people. Of course, the living dead puppet wasn’t weak either. After walking out of this complicated alley, Han Fei grinned. Without Luo Chen and nearly forty perfected Star Transformation Realm cultivators, there should still be about forty perfected Star Transformation Realm cultivators and nearly forty peak-level late-stage Star Transformation Realm cultivators in the City of Scavengers. He didn’t know how many of these people would die in the inner city. Even if they didn’t die, Han Fei wouldn’t give them a chance to walk out of Puppet City. Han Fei knew that it was impossible for him to find so many people from the City of Scavengers one by one now. However, he still had a chance to use the Vast Ocean Navigator today. Therefore, with a thought, Han Fei saw the Vast Ocean Navigator spin and point at where An Shanbei from the City of Origin was now.
