This portion of income is unlikely to be particularly ideal.
...It's better than nothing.
After discussing some plans for the future development of the territory with Claudia, the residents of Baidi Village gradually returned to the territory.
He sent some of his highest-ranking artisans to assist with the upgrade of the territory's center.
Immediately, the upgrade process, which originally required 12 hours, was shortened to 3 hours and 24 minutes.
It should be finished this afternoon.
Su Bai also assigned some of the other craftsmen to repair the territory.
Although the monster siege was successfully defended, the territory suffered significant damage.
Especially the Fallen Demon Lord.
Its attack destroyed nearly a third of the buildings within its territory.
Repairing it will also consume a lot of resources.
The rest of the people went to dismantle the maze. After this wave of siege, the maze would be temporarily useless. Dismantling it could recover some resources and make up for the territory's deficit.
He was extremely busy with the post-war cleanup work on his side.
In the Heavenly Court, with the news of the defeat, a dark cloud seemed to hang over the heads of all those who knew about it.
"Are you kidding me? This guy's gotten stronger again!?"
The Emperor roared in disbelief.
He had changed his usual attire, wearing a loose robe. His face was dark blue and black, like a dead man. His bloated figure looked extremely disproportionate. Something bulged out from under the robe from time to time, as if some kind of living thing was moving.
“This guy has amazing potential, and he seems to have some inside information. We absolutely cannot let him live any longer.”
The scholar pondered for a moment.
"Easy for you to say. The Nine Luminaries Palace's recruitment force has been almost completely wiped out. Who on Fallen Dragon Island can deal with him now?"
Someone said from the side.
“Recruiting units is easy to deal with; they can be restored in a few days. But given the current situation, it will be difficult to deal with him without joining forces with the Azure Dragon Society.”
"The Azure Dragon Society... they have asked me for help several times, and now they can hardly protect themselves."
"What else can we do?"
"Either fight to the death at all costs, or... give up the territory of Fallen Dragon Island. We'll meet again someday."
“If we give up Fallen Dragon Island now, the remaining half-dead Azure Dragon Society won’t be able to stop him. It’s like handing over this territory to him!”
"The rest is manageable, but what about the Lost City, this incredible hidden treasure?"
"Speaking of the Lost City..."
Everyone glanced at the Emperor, whose condition was clearly not right, with some concern.
Damn it!
The Emperor angrily swung his fist, and as a result, his robe fell off, revealing part of his hideous and terrifying body. He quickly covered himself up again.
"Has no cure for this virus been found yet!?"
He said in a frenzy.
Ever since he was scratched by a madman when he first entered the Lost City, he has never been able to find a cure for the madness virus.
It turned out to be a small matter that was very easy to solve.
It dragged on for three whole days.
The madness virus has now infected most of his body.
Although it is not painful.
But the Emperor clearly found it difficult to accept this inhuman change.
In particular, he even sensed that the hidden profession he had worked so hard to obtain was being gradually replaced by this unknown change!
"No...time was too tight. Last time the secret realm was only open for half an hour, and we didn't even have time to search it."
"Priests will only have the Purify skill at level 25."
"Other solutions... are being explored."
Someone replied.
"Still searching? Still searching! Are you all useless?! It's been three days! I have a bad feeling... I'm going to turn into a hideous monster!"
The Emperor roared incessantly.
"We should have results by today's exploration. We found a pharmacy last time, but there were too many monsters inside, and we didn't have time to find one."
"Or, we could ask the White Emperor; he's very familiar with the Lost City and must have a solution..."
The scholar used a rather tactful way of putting it.
"You want me to beg him?!" The Emperor was furious upon hearing this. "It's because of him that I've become this wretched state!"
"...There's not much we can do right now. You need to calm down; your emotions have been very unstable lately."
The scholar frowned.
The Emperor is capable of managing such a massive guild organization as the Heavenly Court; he is certainly not an idiot who can only roar.
But ever since he met Su Bai, he has been frustrated at almost every turn.
Moreover, they were crushed like they were being run over.
So much so.
Now, he gets a little mentally unstable whenever he hears the name 'White Emperor'...
"Why bother asking the White Emperor? Six Ears is also very knowledgeable about the Lost City; he just posted three more strategy guides!"
"Yes, go find him! I'll pay any price as long as he can solve my problem!"
Upon hearing this, the Emperor felt as if he had grasped a lifeline.
"What about Baidi..."
Mingyue nervously mentioned in the group chat that the original discussion was about dealing with Bai Di, but it turned into something else, which made him, who had been waiting for punishment, uneasy.
"If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten. You handled this matter terribly, causing the guild to suffer huge losses. It seems you are not suitable to manage the territory of Fallen Dragon Island!"
"Reinstate the original Liu Yao to his post, and you can do whatever you want under him!"
The Emperor gave the order impatiently.
"....yes."
When Mingyue heard this, his face turned ashen, and his mind was filled with the thought that it was all over. When he was in office, his attitude towards Liuyao was far from friendly. Now that the positions have been changed, how could he expect to have a good life?
