CHAPTER 538: CHAPTER 334: TRUE OR FALSE_2

In order to avoid being defeated individually, they withdrew but did not gain entry into the Inner City.

However, the reason there is still stability is because although the Nascent Soul Cultivators did not qualify to enter the Inner City, their direct lineage, and others, have already moved into the Inner City along with the promise from the Wu Feng Domain.

As long as the Wu and Feng Families do not fall, their family line will continue.

Perhaps there is resentment in their hearts, but as of now, they no longer have the qualification to enter the Inner City.

Meanwhile, within the Inner City.

The Grand Elders of the Wu and Feng Families, along with the Nascent Soul Cultivator who was caught, the one involved in the theft of the Earth Vein Origin, are present.

Yet, this individual shows no signs of being a prisoner; their face is rosy, with no indications of injury.

"You have worked hard this time. In the future, we need you to live in seclusion within the Wu Family. However, your family will be looked after, and what we promised you will be delivered when the time is right."

Indeed, the capture of the Nascent Soul Cultivator from the Grand Family Alliance was a self-staged farce aimed at weakening the Grand Family Alliance.

So far, it seems the goal has been achieved.

The hope is that those three families can take the lead, guiding other Nascent Soul Clans to extinguish the Demon Cultivators.

They have already sent a message that upon extinguishing the Demon Cultivators, support for the construction of a new city and the right to ten thousand years of tax exemption will be given.

Let’s hope everything turns out well.

The remaining Nascent Souls are uncertain factors; only when they leave the Inner City will it be truly foolproof.

Relying on Big Beard, who currently holds an exclusive trading status, Small Knife has gathered a lot of intelligence.

He started thinking ambitiously; it seems it’s time for him to make a move.

Some matters Big Beard is unwilling to undertake, but as the Young Master of the Little Knife Commerce Association, Small Knife easily reached out to other Nascent Souls.

However, before he could act, three Nascent Souls from the Wu and Feng Families, bearing gifts, came to visit the Little Knife Commerce Association.

With no other option, now that the Wu Feng Domain is isolated from the outside world, the only Commerce Association that can still deliver goods is this one. Even if it’s in secrecy, other families may not know, but there’s no way the overlord of Wu Feng Domain doesn’t know.

"The Young Master is still undergoing trials and does not wish to be disturbed. If there is anything you need, you can speak to me." Big Beard frowned, standing in the courtyard with a strong look of vigilance on his face, releasing an invisible Sword Qi from his body.

Even though they were all at the Nascent Soul Stage, he alone suppressed the aura of the three visitors entirely.

"Alright, this time we need to purchase one billion pounds of Spirit Valley, ten million Second Realm fruits, one million Third Realm...." The leading Nascent Soul of the Wu Family said indifferently.

His tone was full of disdain, and as a family cultivator, he looked down on people like Big Beard.

It’s just good luck; most of these types become corpses.

The items being bought were basic, but the quantity made Big Beard jump in surprise.

It’s too astounding.

"No problem. When the money arrives, the goods will be delivered." Small Knife strode out from inside the house.

Seeing this youthful figure gave people an odd feeling; even the Nascent Soul Cultivators present found him hard to discern.

However, meeting him fulfilled several purposes; could he really bring out so much? Could he truly connect to the Outer Realm?

A Top-grade Treasure suppressing the Earth Vein Extreme Point, even Divinity Transformation might not...!

Not convinced!

"Such a large amount, so the price...!"

"No haggling, bring the money and take the goods, anytime." Small Knife said calmly.

Nascent Soul Cultivators came flooding in, including those from Big Beard’s small group and from the Grand Family Alliance.

"Such a large shipment, at this price?" The Nascent Soul Cultivators wanted to pry for more information, but Small Knife gave them no opportunity.

"This kind of business is not large; it’s payment upon delivery, no bargaining." Small Knife headed back into the house, facing the Nascent Soul Cultivators from the Wu Feng Domain’s dominant family, showing extreme composure, completely unafraid.

This gave the probing Nascent Soul of the Wu Family many more speculations and imaginations.

But the rule is, above Nascent Soul level, they cannot participate in new domain trials.

What kind of background allows for such calmness and composure?

A young lad who seems to be in his teens, the related background and origins have already been thoroughly investigated.

Could it be a Great Power’s soul takeover?

Unlikely.

Weak negative aura.

Too weak, probably because he carries a Demonic Treasure.

Aside from that, nothing is visible.

This secret chamber, even Nascent Soul cannot see inside; not only is it filled with restrictions, but it is also lined with Nascent Soul level Spirit Talismans.

Therefore, even a Nascent Soul Powerhouse can’t detect anything within.

Utilize the power of the Immortal City?

Though the oddity of the secret chamber was noted, the Nascent Soul brought this suggestion up on returning home, but after a vote, it was ultimately rejected.

If the Immortal City can remain inactive, it should; even partial action affects the time the Immortal City has for absorbing Earth Vein Origin and evolving Spiritual Artifacts.

Everything seemed calm again.

In the Goblin Mini World, the battle never ceased.

A lot of players, goblins, and kobold units perished in combat.

One unique strategy works universally.

The Tree-man Mini World relies on taking root in the earth, slowly but steadily expanding.

Even though the losses are heavy.

Especially fighting in the Otherworld, with grievous casualties, yet as the war progressed, they did not grow weaker but instead became more frenetic.

No choice, the Master of the World issued a mission; for them, it is the only opportunity.

Even a hundred-year usage of an Earth Vein Extreme Point is enough for advancement, granting a ten-thousand-year lifespan, something no one can refuse.

Over time, half of the Goblin Mini World’s lands have become forests, occupied by the Tree-man Mini World.

The future is bright, but there is essentially no tangible gain at present.

This is unavoidable, though having occupied half of this world’s lands, the Master of the Tree-man Mini World discovered the Earth Vein Extreme Points here have all withered, clearly having exhausted their potential, temporarily unusable.

It must recover, so it cannot currently be occupied or profited from.

This is also normal; nobody would be so foolish as to leave intact and usable Earth Vein Extreme Points for the enemy.

Moreover, the withering also signifies that this world’s Master of the World has exhausted all measures, relying solely on the Earth Vein Extreme Point’s power to spawn units.

This greatly bolstered the Master of the Tree-man Mini World’s confidence.

Seeing no effective counterattacks despite having occupied over half of the enemy’s world, truly a new world, audaciously launching an invasion without knowing one’s limits?

However, he dared not grow complacent, fully exerting himself until now.

For this reason, even his own Tree-man Mini World has significantly fewer player Tree-men. Although the once-vast forest still appears lush, a closer look reveals the absence of many ancient and old trees outside; though numerous, they are young, not deeply rooted.

Even those that seem robust lack substance, being rapidly grown types, unfit for major use, not achieving even Hundred Level Tree-man qualification, lacking even the status of cannon fodder.

This is not the most serious concern; the gravest issue is the Tree-man Mini World’s Master of the World, now besides the World Earth Vein Core, all other Earth Vein Extreme Points have been occupied by the Great Lord Alliance.

Of course, the occupied Earth Vein Extreme Points have also exhausted the Earth Vein Origin, rendering them unusable for decades.

This leaves the Great Lord Alliance, although having occupied them, unable to utilize or leverage the Heart of the Earth to gain a foothold.

Once the Master of the World recovers, it can be retaken at any time.

So the effort by the Great Lord Alliance seems futile.

Is it really futile?

Of course not, now tens of thousands of claymen from the Great Lord Alliance and their trained Daoist Soldiers have surrounded the World Core.

Even the system autonomously generated related tasks.

Meaning, if they manage to occupy this World Core, they will conquer the Tree-man Mini World and become the new Master of the World.

This situation has left the Master of the Goblin Mini World vulnerable, even as his own was almost taken by his own kind.

But the Master of the Tree-man Mini World is not worried.

Because he can withdraw the Tree God guarding the passage at any time, ensuring self-preservation is not an issue.

However, doing so would mean the invasion of the Otherworld will all be for nothing, and he will not do so unless absolutely necessary.

The Great Lord Alliance is also aware of this.

They have surrounded the World Core but have not rushed to attack, opting for negotiations to acquire the relevant mission: the task of invading the Otherworld.
