Hu Dagao was feeling strange today.

On one hand he was excited that the Six Qi Sapping ticks under the care of city lord Kulung had reached the very peak of the Dao Shell realm, but on the other hand he was also confused as to how it was possible.

As far as he remembered, Third Yun city had never had such a large harvest. After all, the population of the city was mostly composed of commoners. While it was on part due to their policies of draining them of qi, the people were still of a low talent.

He would have found it normal if it was just one or maybe two qi sapping ticks that had reached the peak, but with all six of them reaching that level, he didn't know what to think of it.

'Did he sacrifice several Dao Shell realm cultivators to the ticks?' Hu Dagao wondered.

Other than this, he didn't know what other method could be used to nurture the qi sapping ticks to this level. After all, the qi sapping ticks weren't fed using other resources like spirit stones, herbs or fruits.

Using those resources to fatten them up would be against the very concept of course.

The main reason the qi sapping ticks were developed by his clan was to have another source of usable qi. His clan had devised methods that could refine the qi stored by these ticks and turn them into pills.

These pills could then be utilized for many things, whether it be cultivating or as currency. And since spirit stones were technically limited by the mines, they could use these pills as an alternative for that.

Hu Dagao followed along with Kulung and was soon brought to the mansion. There were already servants prepared for his welcome and started an entire ceremony. Hu Dagao simply went through the ceremony mechanically, not truly caring for it.

He wanted to see the qi sapping ticks the most after all. He could have rushed, but he knew showing such expressions outwardly was not in his favor.

"That's enough, just bring me to the Qi Sapping ticks now." Hu Dagao ordered.

"Of course, Tenth Heir." City Lord Kulung cupped his hands before bringing the man to a secret area in the mansion.

This area was protected by the strongest formations possible for them, and no one could get in without being detected.

~SHUA~

Kulung lifted the security measures and entered the area first. Hu Dagao followed after him and soon saw the six Qi Sapping ticks lying on the ground.

They were located in a secured hall and nearly a quarter of the hall was occupied by the Qi Sapping ticks. They had grown very fat and were huddled together.

Hu Dagao walked closed and touched the six ticks, verifying everything with his own senses.

"They really are saturated to the maximum…" he said finding it a bit surreal. "How exactly did you accomplish this?" he questioned.

"You can say that we had a fortunate encounter Tenth Prince. The six Qi Sapping ticks were actually nurtured by a great expert personally." Kulung answered making the man feel a little uneasy.

"Who would be willing to sacrifice their own spirit qi like that?" Hu Dagao couldn't help but question.

After all, the amount fed to the qi sapping ticks would be enough to nurture several Dao shell realm experts. If even a Dao Treading realm expert tried to feed them, he wouldn't be able to feed them to this level without regressing his own cultivation base.

No one in their right mind would do that, especially an expert that was proud of their strength.

? Kulung watched the tenth heir feeling quite nervous himself. He had intentionally said words like these as he had been instructed to do so by Lin Wu himself.

One could tell that this was simply trying to provoke the Tenth Heir.

'What am I supposed to do now?' but now Kulung had reached the end of his directions.

He didn't know what to say to the tenth heir.

"And why would they do something like that too?" Hu Dagao said next, an unnerving feeling filling him.

"To get an excuse to meet you of course," All of a sudden, Hu Dagao heard a strange distorted voice.

It was cold and heavy, not feeling human at all.

~SHUA~

It was at this point that a pressure descended in the hall.

~SKWEEE~

The Six Qi Sapping Ticks screeched in fear, while Hu Dagao circulated his spirit qi to hold up to it. Kulung was the only one who seemed to be unaffected, but it was simply because he was not being targeted.

Hu Dagao immediately noticed and smelled foul play.

"Kulung! You dare to scheme against me?!" Hu Dagao was no fool and knew that he had been lured into a trap.

"I'm sorry Tenth heir, but there is little I can do here too." City Lord Kulung said with a wry smile.

"You! Damn you!" Hu Dagao cursed before utilizing his cultivation base.

His own aura rose and defended against the pressure in the hall.

"Great Hu Claws!" Hu Dagao said explosively as two claws appeared in front of him.

They were spirit weapons and very strong ones from the spirit qi waves they emanated. And not just that, they also seemed to have a hint of their own aura too.

It was hard to tell what kind of metal they were made from, but simply looking at them made one feel prickles on their skin.

"My, my, Peak Grade Spirit weapons… Didn't think someone like you would have them." The voice spoke again in a mocking tone.

"Show your face! You will pay for trying to scheme against me." Hu Dagao said as he equipped the Great Hu claws.

"Very well then, show me how you are going to make me pay? With those little claws of yours?" The voice mocked again.

Hu Dagao didn't hold back and attacked with the Great Hu claws, tearing the hall's wall down.𝒇𝚛e𝘦wℯ𝑏𝓃𝑜νℯ𝒍.co𝗺
