Upon hearing Qian Yun's words, Qin Xiao exclaimed in shock, "Holy crap!"

"Qianyun, are you sure you didn't see wrong? Are you sure?"

Qianyun nodded, somewhat moved, "It's true, Master, at least that's the energy reaction I detected."

Qin Xiao's expression turned serious. Such a powerful force was actually hiding in this place, unknown to anyone.

According to his investigation over the past few days, all other races combined do not have as many Diamond-tier individuals as there are here.

More than three hundred diamond-tier items, what an awesome concept that is!

It might even be more powerful than 90% of the countries on Earth, like Japan!

If these people want to cause trouble, once they make the right arrangements, the world will be completely changed in a single day!

However, Qin Xiao wasn't too afraid, after all, he had fought against a large number of Diamond-level opponents in the previous World Youth Competition.

Moreover, although there are many of these Diamond-rank individuals, he doesn't believe that every single one of them can rival the strongest Diamond-rank youth on Blue Star.

However, when he looked at the lizardman, the man's expression was respectful but not very fearful, suggesting that he had some confidence.

"What tasks did the last world lord assign to you in Capricorn City on a daily basis?"

Qin Xiao asked curiously, but the lizardman kept his head down.

"My lord, Capricorn City is in chaos. The former master has not taken good care of us, leaving us to fend for ourselves and forbidding us from leaving this area."

In addition, supervisors were dispatched to confiscate valuable items every quarter, followed by the collection of people—otherworldly slaves—who were then taken away.

There was still a hint of resentment in the other person's words.

Qin Xiao nodded, it was something that kid from the last world would do.

Or rather, the things that his subordinates are capable of doing.

"Summon your city lord to see me."

Qin Xiao waved his hand, too lazy to say anything more.

After communicating with Youyou, we flew directly to the city lord of Capricorn City.

Yoyo shrunk her body, and the group landed in the palace.

A group of lizardmen followed behind, seemingly trying to stop them.

Qin Xiao turned around, his eyes flashing coldly, "You seem to have something else to say?"

Yoyo, standing to the side, glared with her big, round eyes, unleashing a powerful and overwhelming aura.

The lizardmen's expressions immediately changed slightly.

“My lord, the people of Capricorn are not well-mannered. I fear that I may have offended you. Please move to the residence left by the overseer. This place is really uncouth.”

Qin Xiao sneered, "I don't know why you're so nervous. I want to see what you're up to here, whether you have some treasure or something you're ashamed of."

After speaking, he turned and walked forward, where Ilya, Youyou, and Jingjing appeared from the demon realm.

"Keep an eye on them. Anyone who dares to make a move will face the annihilation of the entire city!"

Qin Xiao coldly left his words behind and walked directly into the palace.

Behind her, Ilya's body grew larger, wielding a lightning spear, with intense lightning spreading outwards.

The hair on the bodies of the people around them stood on end.

The lizardmen lowered their heads, exchanging glances, wanting to do something but not daring to.

Ye Qingya and Ilya nodded and quickly followed Qin Xiao's footsteps.

"Brother Xiao, what's wrong?"

Qin Xiao smiled and said, "I want to see how loyal they are to this city lord, and what kind of tricks they're up to."

Ye Qingya had just heard Qian Yun's report, and naturally became interested in this Capricorn City as well.

They currently control only three worlds, and even with all their diamond-tier and platinum-tier forces combined, their combat power is still inferior to that of this city.

This is a huge force; if we could bring it under our control, there would be many benefits.

At least at the Diamond rank, they are considered a very important force in the battles within this Ruins.

Perhaps it is the three great dynasties that can produce far more diamond-grade items than this number, and there are also quite a few extraordinary-grade items.

However, most other fragmented worlds do not have that many diamond-tier items.

Upon entering the palace, Qin Xiao was surprised to find it completely deserted, without even a guard.

What's going on?

The further you go in, the quieter it becomes, and a sticky substance begins to appear on the walls and floor.

Qin Xiao stopped and looked at the thing on the ground with some confusion, then stepped on it.

"This thing...it looks kind of familiar..."

Ye Qingya looked at him curiously, "Familiar? Have we met before?"

Qin Xiao shook his head. "No, but it just feels very familiar..."

Stopping his conversation, Qin Xiao continued walking inside.

The further you walk, the thicker and stickier the covering on the ground and walls becomes.

Qin Xiao suddenly stopped in his tracks. "I know what this thing looks like!"

Ye Qingya stared at him, waiting for him to continue.

Qin Xiao's tone was a bit strange, "I saw this thing once before during the qualifiers, and I can only say it's quite similar."

I remember similar fungal carpets on the Zerg planets; they grew rampantly, resembling both plants and flesh.

Ye Qingya's eyes flashed, "Brother Xiao, do you mean there's a Zerg base in here?"

She had watched some of the previous live streams, even though they were later banned, she had still seen the battles before.

Qin Xiao was somewhat puzzled. "Logically speaking, if it were Zerg, the number of Diamond-tier Zerg would make sense, but why are there Zerg here?"

"Perhaps they salvaged it from the fragmented world? After all, Guixu is known as the Return of All Realms, and it's not much different from a junkyard, so what's so strange about having a Zerg here?"

Qin Xiao shook his head. "The Zerg are not surprising, but if there is a Zerg swarm of this rank, then the mother or the Zerg queen must be at least at the Transcendent level."

That's the most important thing; we might not be able to win!

Ye Qingya pondered for a moment, "It shouldn't be that bad. If there were a demigod-level being, such a wild demigod-level creature would definitely not be able to hide."

Didn't the three great divine dynasties have strict orders against the appearance of beings above the transcendent level? Besides, the previous world's ruler and the Divine Palace couldn't possibly have failed to investigate.

"The rules of the three great dynasties only apply to those who are in the open; as long as it is not a true god entering the Void, it does not apply."

As long as demigods hide in the fragmented world and don't openly cause trouble, they'll probably be ignored.

Ye Qingya's expression turned serious when she heard Qin Xiao say that.

"Should we retreat first? The situation is unclear right now. Should we arrest the people outside and interrogate them thoroughly before making any decisions?"

Qin Xiao's eyes flickered. After a long while, he thought to himself that it was unreasonable for him to retreat like this, given his abilities.

"Qingya, go out first and meet up with Ilya and the others. Take control of everyone outside."

Ye Qingya hesitated, knowing that Qin Xiao didn't want her to go on the risk.

After a moment's consideration, he nodded and said, "Be careful. If things get too dangerous, open a portal and leave immediately. As long as you report it to the Temple of the Divine, someone will take care of it."

Their world was acquired through a legitimate transaction under the name of the Temple of the Gods, so there must be after-sales service available.

Qin Xiao nodded, "Don't worry, unless it's a true god, I don't believe they can kill me instantly."

After he finished speaking, the long-lost woody texture of the Jianmu tree reappeared.

After Ye Qingya left, Qin Xiao took a deep breath and stepped inside.

So much time has passed, and there's still no response from the other party. It's hard to say what it is.
