Who Designed This Underworld Dungeon?-Chapter 1274 - 810: Post-War Settlement

Won't yield any benefits I desire?

Gong Qiying looked at the follower and gestured for him to explain properly.

"I've made the massacre too obvious, causing the local Demon Clan to notice that I'm targeting them."

The follower said with a tone full of regret:

"They mobilized their forces to fight me, but ultimately still lost, because I tried to make the Twilight Dungeon go berserk once. The power I displayed at that time wasn't as strong as it is now, but successfully crushing the local Demon Clan's forces wasn't difficult."

His tone turned from regret to a hint of pride, and his subtle expressions seemed to savor that victory.

"But because of this, they completely blacklisted me. No Demon Clan would ever enter the Twilight Dungeon again. No living creature even crosses the Underground City Teleportation Gate into here. I suspect they sealed the gate; otherwise, it's impossible for not even a single bug to fly in."

"And the Twilight Dungeon can't go berserk a second time in a short period, so I have no way to leave or learn about what's happening outside. The spiritual power income of that dungeon is now completely zero, requiring me to transfer spiritual power from the Holy Light Underground City to maintain its operation."

"The issue with the spiritual power revenue and expenditure in my Holy Light Underground City arose because of the war and maintaining the operation of the Twilight Dungeon. So, how did you actually notice I had a problem?"

The follower's expression suddenly turned odd, and he shifted slightly, saying:

"You couldn't have been observing me all along...."

This guy must be imagining in some direction filled with Chengdu vibes.

Gong Qiying twitched the corner of his mouth, too lazy to clarify things to the follower.

Flame Fire seemed to have sensed that he was investigating matters related to the Dungeon Lord, but in the follower's eyes, today's confrontation felt like he asked for it entirely on his own, without suspecting anything else.

Let's leave it at that to avoid further explaining and causing more trouble.

Regarding what he said about the Twilight Dungeon not generating revenue.

"It's okay; I don't need revenue."

Gong Qiying waved his hand with a rather carefree demeanor, projecting an effortless affluent air with no concern for the few spiritual powers, making the follower feel that this young man seemed even more like a nouveau riche than himself.

"Well, don't say I didn't tell you beforehand," the follower said nonchalantly, "since you want it so much, just take it. In the future, I wish to go and conquer others."

He spoke so lightly, as if the dungeons of the Demon Clan could be easily conquered, like picking an apple from a tree.

However, the reality is not the case. The dungeons of the Demon Clan side are not something a City Lord like the follower could take down unless the Dungeon Lord proactively initiates a death match towards the human world's dungeon.

The main reason is that the Demon Clan Lords mutually agree to initiate dungeon battles to gain a period of several days of the truce; by the time the truce is about to end, they agree to duel again.

The purpose of this is to prevent other City Lords from taking advantage of them, so even those intending to attack their dungeons cannot use forceful methods to coerce them into accepting death duels.

Logically speaking, the Twilight Dungeon under the follower's possession should be considered an important resource among City Lords. Yet, this guy managed to get the Demon Clan to blacklist it due to his personal preferences and stress relief needs...

This situation is a bit hard to comment on.

As far as he knows, there are fewer and fewer City Lords with dungeons from the Demon Clan side.

Just like here, on their side, the Demon Clan side strives to eliminate any local dungeons under the control of human City Lords at all costs. Those who survive are master impersonators.

How long can I pretend?

Gong Qiying pondered, unable to ascertain, feeling that his acting skills seemed quite good so far.

However, to disguise better, I need to get some information from the follower.

"How much intelligence do you know about the area around the Twilight Dungeon? Tell me everything."

Gong Qiying gently patted the follower's shoulder, as if saying we are brothers: "We must help each other now. I kill the Demon Clan for the sake of cleansing enemies for Holy Light."

For the sake of Holy Light, my ass... The follower held back his sarcastic comment, but his attitude softened significantly compared to before.

In this period, their dungeons had returned to normal. They entered Gong Qiying's City Lord's room, where the follower narrated what he knew while simultaneously using magic to record it on paper.

"Twilight Dungeon and my Holy Light Underground City have a deep connection. Its recorded stories originate from the original traitor to Holy Light."

"That was the fourth Pope, who was beguiled by the Demon King, betrayed Holy Light, and defected to the Demon Clan. The information he sold caused significant damage and losses to the Church. Since then, in the Church's records, he gradually became known as a wicked fallen being, reviled by every believer."

"Twilight Dungeon contains several twisted areas similar to my Holy Light Underground City, along with ancient Holy Light cultivation methods. The monsters are primarily fallen Holy Light believers and favored entities. Because they can use Holy Light, they are quite effective against the Demon Clan, but they cannot resist those with Demon King bloodline within the Demon Clan. This is due to the contract between the fourth Pope and the Demon King."
