Planet Pulverizer: A Mortal’s Ascent

Chapter 320: Secret passage

The Kingdom of Molong.

It was transformed from the Molong Army, the top warlord in the Dayue territory.

It occupies hundreds of cities and territories of all sizes, with a total population of 30 million.

This is almost one-thirtieth of the current total population of Otsuki.

The fact that it occupies such a large territory and population shows how powerful the Molong Kingdom is.

Like the Molong Palace at this moment, the guarding force is so strong that martial artists are no better than dogs. There are masters everywhere, and only the Martial Saint can be looked up to.

In a courtyard of the royal palace, King Wumuxuan was lying on a reclining chair, with several concubines serving him attentively.

Various kinds of fruits and delicacies were piled casually on the table not far away, and all kinds of precious ornaments and rare flowers were also filled in every corner of the yard.

However, Wumu Xuan didn't pay much attention to all this. He squinted his eyes, quietly feeling the warmth brought by the sun, while listening to Cui Sheng's complaints.

"That Xiangye Territory has taken over not only our Xiangshi Territory, but according to my investigation, Fenglin Territory and Hanmu Territory have also been intimidated by him and dare not move. He actually controls all the territories in the four directions and millions of people... Moreover, they are colluding with the Longquan Sect and have become a major threat to the Black Gold Plain..."

Cui Sheng kept nagging.

But Wu Muxuan didn't even open his eyes.

"Father, the mutual calculations and plundering between the territories is one of the unspoken rules that you tacitly approve, in order to prevent them from uniting and causing unrest in the Molong Kingdom. At present, Xiangye Territory has already shown this trend, but as I really get to know Xiangye Territory, I find that this territory is very different from other territories..."

At this time, the voice of the second prince Wu Yan was heard standing aside: "During the nine years that Lord Wen of Xiangye Territory has governed Xiangye Territory, he has greatly improved the livelihood of the people in Xiangye Territory. All the people in the territory regard Lord Wen as a blue sky bodhisattva, and some people from the surrounding areas have even secretly run to Xiangye Territory to survive."

He said clearly, "In addition, the Lord of Xiangye Territory has been vigorously encouraging childbirth over the years and has set up a relief department to ensure that all residents have the most basic survival guarantee. In just nine years, the population of Xiangye Territory has increased from 250,000 to 340,000, a full 36% increase."

"Relief Department, ensuring people's livelihood?"

After hearing the words of the second prince Wu Yan, Wu Muxuan finally opened his eyes.

However, he did not respond to Wu Yan and just made a gesture.

About ten meters behind him, a middle-aged man in a suit, looking meticulous, stepped forward and quickly handed over a document that had been prepared when Cui Sheng filed the complaint.

The data records in detail the changes that have taken place in Xiangyeling over the years.

Obviously.

He seemed to be enjoying himself in the palace and paying no attention to what was happening in the outside world, but he actually had some idea of what was happening in the Kingdom of Molong.

He did feel that some of Xiangye Territory's political programs were problematic, but when he saw that Xiangye Territory still had a population of less than 350,000 and its military strength had only expanded to 2,000 people, he quickly lost interest.

"He had great ambitions, but unfortunately, his original strength could not support his ambitions. Only after he received funding from the Dragon Fist Sect did he gradually become more arrogant."

As Wumu Xuan spoke, he quickly flipped through Xiangye Ling's information and focused on checking the information of Longquan Sect.

In just a moment, he was already concentrating: "Dragon Fist Sect originally had two Martial Gods and now there is one named Wen Xingchen? Three Martial Gods?"

"The correct name is the Quasi-Martial God who condenses the life force field."

The man in a suit responded from behind.

"No, I'm not concerned about those three Martial Gods. They are just useless and can barely condense a life force field. I don't need to do anything. Chief Sen and any of the generals can easily deal with them. What I care about is... this Dragon Fist Sect is not just wealthy. They can actually rent three star tools to condense a life force field?"

Wu Muxuan looked at the man in the suit and said, "If I remember correctly, even if you rent a rare star weapon, the cost would be several hundred million each time, right? A legendary star weapon would cost tens of billions?"

The man in the suit heard this and immediately said, "This is our negligence. According to our calculations, even if the Dragon Fist Sect has retained some assets over the years, the total assets are estimated to be only a few hundred million, and no more than one billion at most, and they are evenly distributed among every Martial Saint. I didn't expect..."

"Heh, I originally kept the Dragon Fist Sect, but in the early days of the founding of the country, in order to ensure local stability, I had to show my kindness to some influential forces. In addition, the Dragon Fist Sect itself was more sensible, so I kept them. As a result, it seems now... our kindness was used by him to play with his flaws..."

Wu Muxuan's eyes gradually turned cold: "More than a dozen billion, our royal family's annual income is only this figure."

"I'll head to Longquanmen now."

The man in the suit said in a deep voice: "This martial arts force has no need to exist anymore."

“Longquan Sect, they dare to play tricks on me, they are seeking their own death, but our real target is the foundation and funds that Longquan Sect has accumulated over the years.”

Wu Muxuan narrowed his eyes and said, "If we go straight to Long Quan Sect, they will most likely break up and flee in all directions. Each of these martial saints is as slippery as a mouse. If they really hide, it will not be easy to find them one by one, so we have to be strategic."

His eyes fell on Cui Sheng. "I will give an order to Zhang Tiannan! Ask him to send people to cooperate with you to destroy Xiangyeling! The people of Longquan Sect are not fools. They should be able to see my intention - to scare the tiger. If they are smart, they will immediately send gifts to apologize."

The man in the suit immediately understood his Majesty's intention: "They gave us gifts, we accepted them, gave them some hope, but after a while we found a reason to continue blackmailing them, and when we have squeezed them almost to the limit..."

He made a beheading gesture: "People without value are not worthy of living on the land of our country of Molong."

Wu Muxuan smiled slightly: "Yes, that's right. The martial saint power that has been passed down for hundreds of years... makes me look forward to it. I hope they can resist a little bit and not die too quickly. Let me be a little interested in watching the show."

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty. We will present a wonderful performance for Your Majesty."

The man in the suit saluted respectfully.

With just a few words, His Majesty the King, who is in charge of the entire Molong Kingdom, has decided the fate of Xiangye Territory and Longquan Sect.

At this time, the Li people were still in the black gold mining area.

Compared with the previous desolation, the black gold mining area now has some human voices.

At the entrance of the mining area, which had been repeatedly cleared out by Li Bin and was guarded by two Wusheng teams, hundreds of miners who were recruited with large sums of money entered and began digging from the location of the discovered ore vein.

Although the newly discovered vein is only a hematite vein of low purity, black iron ore is produced from time to time.

Furthermore…

Xiangye Territory has been building its territory recently, and the requirements for ancient copper mines and hematite are quite high. These hematite ores that have been excavated and are of low value are not completely useless.

Li Pin wandered around the mining area and soon found the team led by Yueying and Xu Bao.

"How is it? Are there any zombies wandering around today?"

"Six zombies were attracted, but we set traps in advance, such as crossbows and mercury pools, so we escaped unharmed."

Yueying said, adding: "These zombies came from Area A."

"Area A?"

Li Pin had encountered the Corpse King in Area B before, and had been focusing more on clearing out the corpses there recently, but had neglected the cleanup of Area A.

He nodded immediately and said, "We're going to clean up Area A this time."

"Thank you, Master."

Xu Bao and the other man hurriedly expressed their thanks.

At that moment, Li Bin brought Ri Chi and called Yue Ying, and went deep into Area A of the mine together.

There were quite a few zombies wandering along the way, but basically they were no match for Li Pin.

The power he displayed was so powerful that even though Ri Chi, Yue Ying and others had seen it more than once, they still felt awe from the bottom of their hearts.

However, considering that they have all been taught the Xuanwu Zhengong in recent times, and that as long as they master the Xuanwu Zhengong and realize the innate fetal breathing, they will have the hope of condensing a life force field, their interest has obviously become much higher.

After a round of cleanup, Li Pin cleared out all the zombies he could see in Area A of the mine.

Considering that he still had enough energy, he continued to go deeper and soon arrived at the abandoned mine area.

Since this area has not been officially cleared yet, there are a lot more zombies.

However, Li Pin is no longer the same as he was when he first entered the black gold mining area.

In terms of health value alone, he is no less powerful than any zombie. Even if there are a lot of zombies, he only needs to consume some energy to hunt them.

And with the "recovery" feature, his endurance is far beyond the reach of any Martial Saint or Martial God, which is why he was able to wipe out thousands of zombies in just a few months.

At this rate, he would be able to wipe out all the zombies in the mine area detected by people within a year.

This is the difference between a Martial God and a Star Refiner.

If it were a high-level star refiner, the star power waves emanating from his body would be enough to attract zombies more than ten kilometers away.

The so-called more than ten kilometers does not refer to the plane distance, but the diameter of a sphere with him as the center.

There are a large number of mining areas inside the mine, divided into several layers. Perhaps when the high-level star refiner walked in cautiously and thought he had not been discovered by any zombies, hundreds of zombies that happened to be located below the mine were pouring in like a tide.

On the other hand, the God of War was dozens of meters away from the zombies, but the zombies did not react much.

If you master the art of concealing your breath, you might even be able to pass by zombies within ten meters.

Li Pin was clearing out the zombies one by one without haste. Occasionally, Ri Chi and others would exclaim in surprise when they found top-grade star crystals, which would make him perk up a little.

A piece of top-quality star crystal means hundreds of millions in income.

The whole process was orderly.

Just like at this moment, a zombie suddenly emerged from the ground, and was then slapped to death by Li Pin.

However, just as he continued to move forward for a distance, Ri Chi, who was searching for spoils behind him, seemed to have discovered something and suddenly exclaimed: "Li Wushen... Come and see this zombie coming out and loosening the soil, it seems to have revealed a secret passage..."
