"Mr. Ren? Are you alright?"
Old Ren has returned, but the situation doesn't seem to be very good.
Like Hope in the past, he was filled with golden light, and had only a human form.
His aura was also somewhat weak, as if he couldn't control it.
"The situation is not good."
Old Ren looked grim.
Qinglong was clearly angry this time. Last time, Hope arrived late and was scolded by Elder Ren. This time, he was angry and kept harassing him.
Based on past experience, after concealing my presence and letting him dodge for a while, I will stop chasing him.
Even though he concealed his aura and did not reveal his demigod level, he was still firmly held by the Azure Dragon, as if it was determined to make a breakthrough.
Having been chased for quite some time, Elder Ren realized that it was unlikely he could avoid bleeding this time. He stripped away half of his energy, constructed a phantom with the aura of a demigod, and gave it to the Azure Dragon to eat.
That's how he managed to escape.
That's why he was a little weak.
The person standing in front of him at this moment was not Cao Guangxing, but Wu Xun, the new city lord of Hualong City.
"Where's Cao kid?"
"Lord Cao has voluntarily requested to be locked up."
Wu Xun briefly explained Cao Guangxing's situation and took out several imperial gemstones.
Old Ren's gaze shifted slightly as he sensed the allure of the primordial energy within, but he cautiously inquired, "What is this? Did Qin Sheng concoct this again?"
"No, this is a royal gem from the Kunlun Mountains."
Wu Xun informed Elder Ren about the situation of the Chengtian clan and the royal family, as well as the results of Mu Zifu's experiment.
"The primordial energy".
Master Ren was momentarily dazed, and he also had his own views on the primordial energy.
The main reason is that his human body disappeared after he became a demigod.
This proves that the human body cannot keep up with the level of a demigod, yet he was able to break through to the demigod realm, which is quite contradictory.
The appearance of the primordial energy has now answered his questions.
Humans can indeed break through to the level of demigods, but those who lack the primordial energy cannot withstand the demigod realm.
What about absorbing the primordial energy?
After pondering for a moment, Elder Ren stopped worrying and began to absorb the primordial energy.
"not enough."
Wu Xun nodded, and a ton of royal gemstones appeared on the scene, continuously being absorbed by Elder Ren.
This was already most of the royal gems Qin Sheng had given them; only a small amount was used for research.
After a moment, Elder Ren frowned. This amount of primordial energy was still not enough, but judging from Wu Xun's expression, Elder Ren knew that this was all there was for now.
It is not for fusion for the time being, but for building its own body.
Visibly, countless blood vessels appeared on that layer of golden light, bones were growing out of thin air, and muscles were appearing inch by inch.
Soon, a physical body reappeared, and Elder Ren slowly opened his eyes.
His eyes were filled with a dazed look; the feeling of having a body was almost fading from his memory.
"Old Ren?"
Coming to his senses, Elder Ren noticed his clothes had reappeared. He calmly nodded and said, "The Origin Qi is indeed effective. For now, there's no need to doubt the Chengtian Clan's words. As for the Imperial Gem, we must do our best to obtain it."
"Lord Zhao has already reached an agreement with Qin Sheng..."
When he told Mr. Ren about the negotiations that evening, a strange look flashed in the latter's eyes.
"Are you saying that the primordial energy is useless to believers?"
"Yes."
At this moment, Elder Ren's mind began to race. Could he deal with Qin Sheng if he had enough primordial energy?
"I'm going to Zhenjiang City."
"yes."
...
Meanwhile, in the territory of the Chengtian clan, Zhao Limin, led by Cheng Ao, had already arrived.
Zhao Limin's eyes lit up as he looked at the imperial gems covering the ceiling.
"Based on the amount of primordial energy that Mu Zifu absorbed, this is enough for all the martial artists in Zhenjiang City to fuse with."
Zhao Limin murmured to himself, and as they continued to delve deeper, he had a rough estimate of the number of Imperial Gems.
These exposed bodies are indeed enough for the warriors of Zhenjiang City, but compared to other cities, they are far inferior.
"Wait a mininute."
Cheng Ao, who was leading the way, suddenly stopped, changed the route, and led Zhao Limin to the cave he had dug.
The walls inside, forged from imperial gemstones, made Zhao Limin's eyes turn red.
Cheng Ao hesitated for a moment before asking, "Lord Zhao, could you try to break down this wall?"
"sure."
Zhao Limin found it strange, but didn't think much of it. He casually punched the wall, smashing down many pieces of royal gemstones.
"We can't waste it."
Zhao Limin was putting away the gemstones and didn't notice Cheng Ao's slightly changed expression.
If Lord Zhao Cheng could do it, why couldn't Qin Sheng destroy it?
It should be known that the outside world has already spread the word about Master Qin's strength. With his record of killing a demigod, he is already number one.
However, he was helpless against this wall composed of imperial gemstones...
"Were you lying to us from the very beginning...?"
Cheng Ao shook his head. Perhaps it was because the seal hadn't been lifted before, but it had now been lifted, which was why Zhao Limin could easily damage the wall.
"This wall must cover a fairly large area."
Cheng Ao recounted his past experiences digging tunnels, noting that these walls surrounded the Cheng Tian clan's territory on all sides.
Zhao Limin's eyes lit up immediately. If these walls were thick enough, they might be enough for all of humanity!
"Could you break it a little bit?"
"sure."
Zhao Limin wanted to check the thickness of the wall, but he was disappointed to find that it was only two centimeters thick and could be penetrated with just a few taps.
But this is still a considerable amount of royal gems.
Cheng Ao sighed, surprised that the wall blocking his way was actually so thin.
Soon, Cheng Ao appeared in the sight of the clansmen with Zhao Limin.
"Royalty? Brother Cheng Ao has returned with the royal family?"
"Could it be that they have found a place to settle down?"
"As expected of Brother Cheng Ao!"
"Where is Mr. Qin from last time?"
"They've gone to see the clan chief. I'll go inform them!"
After greeting the clansmen, Cheng Ao led Zhao Limin to the only house inlaid with the imperial gemstone.
"This is the residence of our clan chief, Cheng Rong."
As the voice faded, the door opened, and Cheng Rong appeared before Zhao Limin.
"Clan leader, this is Zhao Limin, the city lord of Zhenjiang City."
"Hello."
Zhao Limin smiled kindly and extended his hand: "Speaking of which, we are neighbors. Zhenjiang City is just outside the Kunlun Mountains."
After shaking hands, Cheng Rong also went to Zhao Limin: "Come in and talk, Cheng Ao, you come in too."
The three entered the room and closed the door.
Cheng Rong glanced at Cheng Ao and Zhao Limin, looking puzzled: "I wonder what brings City Lord Zhao here at this time? And where is Mr. Qin?"
"Clan chief, Mr. Qin's condition..."
Cheng Ao was about to speak when Zhao Limin stopped him: "Clan Chief Cheng Rong, let me introduce Qin Shi to you."
