Divine-level Base
Chapter 376: Shock
The next day, the Devouring Ghost Demon Clan immediately began to withdraw their troops from Liuguang and Star Dragon Territories, allowing Liuguang Territory to re-establish contact with the Qianyuan Republic’s military.
Experts from the Fang Clan quickly arrived in Liuguang City with a simple Level 1 Spiritual Ability Tower to begin reconstruction.
Star Dragon Territory was also taken over by the Fang Clan’s experts, who quickly constructed a Level 1 Spiritual Ability Tower and established defenses.
According to a decree from the Qianyuan Republic, if a territory belonging to a Noble Family was seized by Void Demons, then ownership of that territory would belong to whoever reclaimed it.
Since Star Dragon Territory was reclaimed by the Fang Clan, this meant it would now become their territory.
The outcome of the great battle in Liuguang Territory also quickly spread among the major Gate Valve Noble Families of the Qianyuan Republic.
「In a pavilion of the Beiling Zhu Clan.」
A strange light flashed in Zhu Yan’s eyes as he looked at the document in his hand. "This boy, Shu Feng, is truly vicious," he said slowly. "He actually killed two Void Demon Dukes!! It seems our investment was the right one!!"
A look of relief flashed in Zhu Guangsheng’s eyes. "Ancestor, your vision is truly sharp and far-sighted. I am in awe!"
’This son-in-law, Shu Feng, is vicious beyond measure, and his rate of evolution is simply terrifying. In less than a year, he can already hunt Void Demon Dukes. If he’s given more time to grow, I can’t imagine how powerful he’ll become.’
Zhu Yan said meaningfully, "Guangsheng, you and Chen Yu are father and daughter. You can’t let your relationship grow distant."
Zhu Guangsheng said respectfully, "Yes, Ancestor!"
Zhu Chenyu was the daughter of a concubine, so within the Zhu Clan, her treatment naturally couldn’t compare to that of the legitimate daughters. Since childhood, she had been bullied by her older, legitimate half-sisters, and she did not have a good relationship with the family.
However, while Zhu Guangsheng was not particularly fond of this daughter, he never mistreated her, nor did he cut back on her allocated resources in the slightest. There was still some affection between father and daughter.
Zhu Yan’s intention, of course, was for Zhu Guangsheng to take the initiative to improve their father-daughter relationship, which would in turn make Zhu Chenyu feel closer to the Zhu Family.
「On the Void Demon Battlefield, in a hidden location.」
"He killed a Void Demon Duke! To think that guy, Shu Feng, has actually grown so strong!"
Ding Xiaoxue looked at a document, a faint smile on her lips. Beside her, Void Blue Night, one of the world-renowned Seven Great Holy Spears, was casually stuck into the ground.
"Xiaoxue, your old friend Shu Feng is just too vicious! What kind of Ability did he awaken to be able to kill multiple Void Demon Dukes? Heh, he’s terrifying!!"
A seemingly ordinary young man also muttered.
This seemingly ordinary young man was the same boy who had opened the Void Gate when the Blood Demon Clan’s Grand Duke Balao Na attempted to assassinate the Four Extremes Spirit Saint Wu Zhongchao. He was Zhen Kai, wielder of the Space Gate, and one of the Qianyuan Republic’s Eight Great Heavenly-level Spiritual Ability Users.
Liu Lang muttered, "Xiaoxue, that guy Shu Feng... when he first awakened, did he really only have a Spiritual Power Value of 1? The guy is an absolute monster. I wouldn’t even be surprised if his Spiritual Power Value had already reached the Third Boundary back then."
"Let’s go."
A peerlessly beautiful girl—tall and voluptuously sexy, with long, slender legs, exquisite features, and dressed in a black Combat Suit—spoke faintly. Her eyes were tightly closed, and she exuded an aura that was at once beautiful, heroic, and domineering.
This peerlessly beautiful girl with her eyes closed was the Celestial Saintess, one of the Qianyuan Republic’s Eight Great Heavenly-level Spiritual Ability Users and the sole Saintess of the Primordial Daoist Cult.
The moment the Celestial Saintess awakened her Spiritual Ability, her Spiritual Power Value had already surpassed the Third Boundary. She was only eighteen years old, yet she already possessed a Half-Saint Level cultivation base and was just one step away from becoming a Spirit Saint. She was also the captain of this small team.
The four-person team, comprised of the most outstanding members of the Qianyuan Republic’s younger generation, swiftly departed.
Ferlo Fortress on the Void Demon Battlefield was an incredibly well-defended stronghold. Its walls stood thirty meters high, and elite Ghost Demon Warriors patrolled everywhere atop them.
’This is it, Ferlo Fortress! The logistics base for the Ghost Demon Race. As long as I can breach this place, their supply line will collapse. The Qianyuan Republic Expeditionary Army’s predicament will be solved.’
Shu Feng activated the Lord of the Dark Night’s Magic Ring and concealed himself in a large tree twenty li from Ferlo Fortress, silently observing the heavily fortified stronghold.
It was only with intelligence support from Duke Americk that Shu Feng had been able to find Ferlo Fortress.
’Ferlo Fortress is garrisoned by fifty thousand elite Ghost Demon Race warriors. And while on the surface it’s only guarded by a single Ghost Demon Race marquis, Marquis Aguluo, the truth is that Duke Sketa is also hidden here. One Void Demon Duke shouldn’t be a match for me. I can take this place!’
With a wave of his hand, three thousand Dragon Hunting Dogs appeared and flew towards Ferlo Fortress.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
The elite Ghost Demon Race warriors atop the walls of Ferlo Fortress spotted the three thousand charging Dragon Hunting Dogs and quickly sounded the alarm.
One after another, the Ghost Demon Race warriors raised their Demon Spears and began firing at the surging tide of three thousand Dragon Hunting Dogs.
Streaks of black Demon Light shot towards the three thousand Dragon Hunting Dogs, instantly blowing a dozen of them to pieces.
Just then, Spirit Spear Beasts materialized several li away. A torrential rain of light slammed into the elite Ghost Demon Race warriors, blowing their heads apart one by one.
Under the suppressive fire from the Spirit Spear Beasts, the elite Ghost Demon Race warriors ducked down, taking cover in various shelters to return fire.
Led by the White Roarers, forty Tier Five Spirit Spear Beasts continuously spat out terrifying beams of light that slammed into the shelters, obliterating the structures and the Ghost-devouring Demon Warriors within.
The three thousand Dragon Hunting Dogs seized the opportunity to quickly reach the base of Ferlo Fortress’s walls, scrambling up and swiftly scaling to the top.
"Die!!!"
Just as the three thousand Dragon Hunting Dogs leaped onto the ramparts, a vicious glint flashed in the eyes of Marquis Aguluo. The Ghost Demon Race marquis had a single ghost horn, red hair, red eyes, a handsome face, and a domineering aura. Wielding a large black saber, he slashed down and cleaved a Dragon Hunting Dog in two.
One after another, the Void Demon Nobles of Ferlo Fortress appeared and frantically attacked the three thousand Dragon Hunting Dogs.
One Dragon Hunting Dog after another was killed by the Void Demon Nobles.
At that moment, two thousand Hundred-Colored Dragon Eagles flew in from the sky. They opened their mouths and spat, sending volleys of Dragon Breath hurtling down like meteors to bombard the Void Demon Nobles.
The Void Demon Nobles scrambled to dodge, but many were still struck by the terrifying Dragon Breath, screaming miserably as they were incinerated into ash.
