"Bastard, where is my legion?" Yin Xuan asked furiously.
Jin Heng Chuan Qi showed a sly smile.
"Do I even need to say it? They're all dead, of course!"
Yin Xuan's expression turned ugly.
He had no idea how Jin Heng Chuan Qi had made his most elite legion disappear without even a distress signal.
Had Yan Huang developed some new secret weapon?
As a high-ranking official of the Qing Qiu Totem Kingdom,
Yin Xuan knew Yan Huang very well.
If Yan Huang hadn't been so strict with its technological control, they would have wanted to obtain some data and manufacture it themselves.
This made Yin Xuan hesitate about whether to make a move.
The more Yin Xuan hesitated, the more arrogant Jin Heng Chuan Qi became.
"Do you still want to fight? If you do, hurry back and bring all your Nine-Tailed Fox legions!"
Yin Xuan stared at Jin Heng Chuan Qi, feeling something was wrong but unable to pinpoint it.
"Jin Heng, don't get cocky. I'll twist your head off and use it as a ball to kick later."
After uttering the threat, Yin Xuan's totem disappeared from the spot.
Watching Yin Xuan leave,
Jin Heng Chuan Qi immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
But just as he was about to turn and descend the city wall of the defensive fortress,
A giant flaming claw descended from the sky, aiming to grab him.
"Jin Heng, you dare to trick me!"
Yin Xuan's totem wasn't so easily fooled.
She had pretended to leave.
Seeing that Jin Heng Chuan Qi hadn't reacted, she felt even more suspicious.
Under normal circumstances, Jin Heng Chuan Qi would definitely have attacked her while she was alone, not letting her leave.
His inaction indicated that Jin Heng Chuan Qi didn't possess the power to keep her.
Of course, she couldn't be absolutely certain her guess was correct.
Therefore, she used her ultimate skill, Blazing Fire Splitting Heaven Claw, from a distance to attack Jin Heng Chuan Qi.
Sensing the danger, Jin Heng Chuan Qi turned and punched towards Yin Xuan.
Fortunately, he hadn't completely let his guard down and was still in a fused state with a Overlord-level pet, the Savage Eight-Armed Ape.
Even so, Jin Heng Chuan Qi was sent flying, his blood churning and his face turning pale.
But Jin Heng Chuan Qi showed no fear. He immediately summoned three more Overlord-level pet beasts and fused with them.
Instantly, Jin Heng Chuan Qi's aura surged, bringing him only a hair's breadth away from the Totem-level Yin Xuan.
However, this hair's breadth was still a deep chasm.
Jin Heng Chuan Qi could only stall for time until Long Zhen Chuan Shuo arrived.
As for anyone else, they were completely useless.
Among the beast tamers who had come with Jin Heng Chuan Qi, only he himself was a Titled Legend.
Fortunately, Jin Heng Chuan Qi had brought many trump cards.
Otherwise, he would have likely been dealt with by Yin Xuan very quickly.
At this moment, a giant Nine-Headed Roc flew over.
Upon seeing the Nine-Headed Roc, Yin Xuan's totem fled in panic without looking back.
She knew that Long Zhen Chuan Shuo had arrived.
Long Zhen Chuan Shuo was Yan Huang's strongest beast tamer, having contracted nine Totem-level pet beasts.
Unless the Nine-Tailed Fox Empress led all the totems of the Qing Qiu Totem Kingdom to confront him, there was no chance of victory.
Seeing Yin Xuan flee, the heavily injured Jin Heng Chuan Qi also breathed a sigh of relief.
The defensive fortress was finally safe.
On the other side, Zheng Dong returned to Qing Qiu City with Yin Xue.
The streets and alleys of Qing Qiu City were filled with vendors as usual.
Everything seemed normal.
But in secret, many high-ranking Nine-Tailed Foxes were worried.
If Yan Huang was determined to fight them to the death, they would surely be finished.
This also led many Nine-Tailed Foxes to question the Nine-Tailed Fox Empress's cooperation with the fox demon tribe from another world.
Of course, these were just private discussions.
Openly, they dared not take any action.
Zheng Dong, however, wished for Qing Qiu City to descend into chaos.
Only then would he have a chance to enter the treasury and steal resources.
The treasury was located next to the imperial palace, guarded not only by Overlord-level Nine-Tailed Foxes but also protected by defensive barriers.
Any significant disturbance would attract the Nine-Tailed Fox Empress.
Therefore, Zheng Dong merely loitered on the streets around the treasury, looking for an opportunity.
With Yin Xue's help,
He found the home of Chong Zhen, a Nine-Tailed Fox guarding the treasury.
Unfortunately, this fellow hadn't returned for three to four months.
Besides spending most of his time guarding the treasury, his whereabouts were also unpredictable.
Zheng Dong was not in a hurry.
As long as Long Zhen Chuan Shuo made a move, the Nine-Tailed Fox Empress would surely leave Qing Qiu City.
Before long, the Nine-Tailed Fox Empress received Yin Xuan's distress message, and her expression changed drastically.
The entrance and exit of the secret realm had been occupied by Yan Huang, and she had only just found out.
This had effectively cut off her retreat.
What should she do?
Fighting alone, she was definitely no match for Yan Huang.
Moreover, Long Zhen Chuan Shuo had also appeared, and the next step would likely be to attack Hu Yue City.
After much deliberation, the Nine-Tailed Fox Empress decided to seek help from the surrounding totem kingdoms.
However, the responses she received were all verbal support, with no actual action.
At the same time, Yan Huang's beast tamer legions entered the defensive fortress.
The next step was to prepare to attack Hu Yue City.
As the City Lord of Hu Yue City, Yin Xuan was naturally unwilling to abandon Hu Yue City, which she had managed for many years.
She hoped that the Nine-Tailed Fox Empress would step forward to deal with Long Zhen Chuan Shuo.
"Your Majesty, your humble sister vows to share the fate of Hu Yue City. However, if Hu Yue City is occupied by Yan Huang, it will surely affect Your Majesty's prestige."
Upon seeing the message, the Nine-Tailed Fox Empress sneered repeatedly.
None of her sisters were truly loyal to her.
However, what Yin Xuan said was not wrong.
Her eldest sister, Yin Yao, had always harbored ambitions for the position of Empress, and as long as she made the slightest mistake, Yin Yao would try to unseat her.
However, she was not a pushover, and anyone could not bully her.
Therefore, the Nine-Tailed Fox Empress ordered Yin Yao and other city lords to rush to Hu Yue City to support Yin Xuan.
She also prepared to personally deal with Long Zhen Chuan Shuo.
Since you are all forcing me, then let me show you my strength.
The Nine-Tailed Fox Empress's confidence stemmed not only from her cooperation with the fox demon tribe but also from her own hidden strength.
She had already become a quasi-divine being and had secretly cultivated several elite legions, planning to attack the surrounding totem kingdoms and expand the territory of the Qing Qiu Totem Kingdom.
The struggle for territory was not due to her great ambition, but for the power of faith.
The power of faith would help her condense her divine spark and step into the realm of a lower god.
As long as she became a lower god, she would be confident in dealing with Yan Huang.
Originally, her plan was to proceed step by step, but the appearance of the fox demon tribe made her realize that the world was about to undergo drastic changes, forcing her to accelerate her plans and cooperate with the fox demon tribe.
Now that things had escalated to this point, she decided not to hide her strength any longer.
As the Nine-Tailed Fox Empress led her many confidantes to Hu Yue City, only five Overlords remained to guard Qing Qiu City.
This presented an opportunity for Zheng Dong.
"My husband, do you think we can succeed tonight?" Yin Xue asked.
This was her first time doing something bad, and she was deeply excited.
Her eyes were fixed on Zheng Dong.
Zheng Dong glanced at Yin Xue.
This girl exuded rebellion from the depths of her being.
Not only did she not try to stop him, but she was also happy to take him to steal resources from the treasury, showing great "filial piety."
If the Nine-Tailed Fox Empress knew this, she would probably be so angry she'd spit blood.
Soon, the two arrived outside the treasury.
The security here was extremely tight.
There were more guards than those guarding the imperial palace.
Over the past two days, Zheng Dong had also figured out the situation here.
Besides Chong Zhen, an Overlord, guarding it,
There were also eighteen Emperor-level guard leaders.
A team of guards patrolled every ten minutes.
The guards stationed outside the treasury changed shifts every two hours.
There were two layers of barriers inside and outside the treasury.
Upon triggering the first barrier, Chong Zhen would seal the treasury and call for help from the outside.
Within three minutes, the other Overlords stationed in Qing Qiu City would also arrive.
Furthermore, the entire Qing Qiu City would be sealed.
This meant that if Zheng Dong wanted to sneak into the treasury and steal resources, it was best not to trigger any mechanisms, otherwise, he would face the combined suppression of five Overlords.
To successfully sneak into the treasury, Zheng Dong condensed numerous clones.
The purpose of these clones was to create chaos in various parts of Qing Qiu City.
Only when things were in disarray would there be an opportunity.
One of the clones went to a street not far from the treasury.
This street was very prosperous, with everything for entertainment and dining.
It was also a place that the young masters of the Nine-Tailed Fox upper class frequented every night.
Zheng Dong's clone walked towards a restaurant and was bumped into by a drunk Nine-Tailed Fox.
Zheng Dong was fine.
The other party was drunk and fell to the ground.
"Bastard, are you blind! Do you know who I am? How dare you bump into me?"
The Nine-Tailed Fox, who had transformed into a man, looked like his body had been depleted by alcohol and lust, with little combat power. He fell to the ground after a slight bump.
Anyone who didn't know would have thought he was trying to extort money.
If it were another mixed-blood, they might have immediately knelt and apologized.
But Zheng Dong's clone did not.
He was there to cause trouble, and the bigger the better.
At this moment, he was looking for someone to pick a fight with. Trouble had come to his doorstep, so why wouldn't he be happy?
"Idiot, I don't care who you are! Are you the Emperor's illegitimate son? Even if you are, I'm going to teach you a lesson today."
Saying this, Zheng Dong's clone stepped forward and slapped him a few times.
This instantly silenced the surroundings.
Everyone looked at Zheng Dong's clone in shock.
A mixed-blood of middle status dared to slap a pure-blood Nine-Tailed Fox, and the other party's identity was not simple. Wasn't this courting death?
"Bastard, I'll kill you! I'll exterminate your entire clan!" the Nine-Tailed Fox man roared.
He tried to get up and attack Zheng Dong.
But he was stomped on the face by Zheng Dong's clone again.
"Wuwuwu, let me go, my father won't let you off..."
Zheng Dong's clone ignored him and continued to beat him.
At this moment, several young masters who usually hung out with the Nine-Tailed Fox man came out of the restaurant.
Seeing the Nine-Tailed Fox man being beaten, they all joined the fray.
Zheng Dong's clone was not afraid of them.
But his goal was to create chaos.
Therefore, he pretended to be unable to defeat them and turned to run.
While running, he secretly used his Guile Mine skill to condense bombs.
These bombs exploded continuously around the street.
Many restaurants and shops were destroyed.
Even more people joined the pursuit of Zheng Dong's clone.
Zheng Dong's clone led these people towards the location of the treasury.
Before long, Zheng Dong's numerous clones had attracted thousands of enemies, not only Nine-Tailed Foxes but also many mixed-bloods who wanted to take revenge on Zheng Dong's clones.
Each of Zheng Dong's clones used mimicry camouflage, making them completely indistinguishable from one another.
As these clones rushed towards the treasury, the guards guarding the treasury became extremely vigilant.
However, before these guards could make a move,
Zheng Dong, who had been hiding in the shadows, was not idle either. He summoned Little Purple and condensed numerous Guile Mine bombs around the treasury.
Instantly, these Guile Mine bombs detonated violently.
The explosions sent the guards flying, and also triggered the outermost defensive barrier of the treasury.
Moreover, it killed many of the pursuing Nine-Tailed Foxes.
The scene became chaotic.
The remaining guards frantically rearranged their defenses.
But from the rear, those who wanted to take revenge on Zheng Dong's clones did not know the situation ahead and continued to push forward.
Chong Zhen, the Overlord guarding the treasury, did not know the situation outside. According to regulations, he sealed the treasury and notified the other Overlords stationed in Qing Qiu City.
Soon, the other Overlords arrived with their men.
Teams of guards surrounded those who were seeking revenge on Zheng Dong's clones.
However, many of these people were young masters, and they all called out for their backers.
"Don't touch me, do you know who my father is?"
"Bastard, take your dirty hands off me, my uncle is the Emperor's husband!"
"Get lost, my brother is a close friend of the Grand Princess!"
...
The few Overlords quickly realized that someone was deliberately causing trouble.
But they couldn't catch the culprit.
They could only strengthen the treasury's defenses.
As for Zheng Dong, he took advantage of the chaos and used Perfect Possession to possess a guard.
This guard was just a General-level Nine-Tailed Fox, completely unable to sense Zheng Dong.
Zheng Dong planned to follow this guard into the first layer of the barrier.
Then, he would find a way to enter the treasury and pass through the second defensive barrier.
Unfortunately, plans never change as quickly as circumstances.
Zheng Dong was not the only one targeting the treasury; within the Qing Qiu Totem Kingdom, some people also intended to make a move on the treasury.
Just as the chaos subsided, the four Overlords who had arrived were preparing to leave.
At this moment, one of the Overlords suddenly attacked the other three.
It unleashed its ultimate skill, Heavy Water Cage, trapping the three Overlords in black water spheres.
"Ge Ze, what are you doing?"
Ge Ze looked harmless and always had a smile on his face.
This made the trapped three Overlords completely unprepared for Ge Ze's sudden attack; they had no defense whatsoever.
"What am I doing? Of course, I'm getting revenge. Do you still remember how my mother died?" Ge Ze's smile disappeared, leaving only hatred in his eyes.
His mother was executed by the Nine-Tailed Fox Empress.
The reason was simple: the Nine-Tailed Fox Empress wanted to take his father as her husband.
Not only did she find an excuse to kill his mother, but she also eliminated his mother's entire clan.
If it weren't for his father's desperate pleading, he would not have escaped death either.
To win the Empress's trust, he had never worshipped his mother and had always worked diligently.
Today, he made his move.
Not only did he feel that the time for revenge had come, but he also received orders from Yin Yao.
Yin Yao needed Qing Qiu City to be in chaos and also needed resources to support her legion.
She had secretly contacted Ge Ze and even sent her own confidantes, five Overlord-level Nine-Tailed Foxes.
As they watched, the guards behind Ge Ze removed their helmets, revealing the aura unique to Overlords.
"Heh heh, the three of you, let us send you on your way!" said one of the slightly overweight, heavily scarred Overlord-level Nine-Tailed Foxes.
"Bastards, even if you kill us, His Majesty will not let you go," the Overlords trapped in the Heavy Water Cage cursed.
But it was useless.
They were quickly killed by Ge Ze and his companions.
Seeing this, Zheng Dong frowned. It seemed that stealing resources from the treasury would be difficult from now on.
