Chapter 484: Chapter 484: Xiao Ye: Time to Collect Some Compensation for Mental Distress! (Please Follow)

"Wasn’t your Hidden Martial Family supposed to be so formidable, daring to come to my Hang City and brazenly plunder our resources, completely ignoring the rules between the Mortal Realm and the Rule Barrier."

"Did you really think my Hang City Base City was that easy to bully, that the Hang City Empress was some pushover!?"

Gu Qingcheng transformed her voice into a blade; with every word she spoke, there was a surge of quasi-Emperor Great Perfection might, striking straight into the minds and souls of Wu Clan Leader Wu Zong and his wife.

The Wu couple felt their heads buzzing, *even their originally complete soul bodies now began to fracture.*

Ziran and Xiao Ye stood quietly to the side, observing.

The things the Wu Family did had inflicted severe damage to Hang City; they had looted every Secret Realm in Hang City until nothing remained. This almost struck at Hang City’s very foundation, stealing away its heritage.

If those demon beasts and treasures from heaven and earth were not reclaimed, Hang City would never recover.

*For the next thousand years, maybe even ten thousand, every new genius born in Hang City would be seriously diminished.*

Without new blood being injected, Hang City was doomed to face extinction sooner or later.

The Wu couple wore mournful expressions, *feeling immense shock within. The stunning beauty standing behind them, who held their very lives in her hands, was actually a quasi-Emperor Realm Perfection expert too.*

*What the hell!*

*Wasn’t the Mortal Realm supposed to be a lower-tier world compared to the Rule Domain? Why the hell were there two Quasi-Emperor Realm Great Perfection experts here?*

*A Quasi-Emperor Realm Perfection— even in a Hidden Imperial Race, there was only supposed to be one on the surface.*

*For a Hidden Imperial Race to possess one such expert— that alone made them an Imperial Race, the dominant force in the Rule Domain!*

*If these two Quasi-Emperor Great Perfection experts before them were to invade the Rule Domain and establish their clan there, even the current Hidden Imperial Race would probably have to step aside.*

Gu Qingcheng wore a frosty expression, her voice cold and proud, saying, "Hand over the resources of my Hang City."

Wu Zong, seeing how grim things were and knowing his life was at stake, spoke out,

"Those demon beasts, treasures of heaven and earth, Rare Magic Plants— they’re all in my Black Gold Treasure Realm, all preserved perfectly well."

"I can return everything to you, but you have to agree to one condition!"

Gu Qingcheng’s lips curled into a chilly, mocking smile, "A condition?"

"You have no right to negotiate with me right now."

Jiang Xue’an, decisive as ever, turned her fair little hand into a blade and chopped directly at Wu Zong’s arm, the one with the black-gold ring.

"Pfft!" went the sound.

Blood spurted as that arm was chopped clean off.

Wu Zong howled in pain, shouting, "I’ve lived for more than ten thousand years, is this how you treat your elders?"

Jiang Xue’an sneered, "Elder? As if you deserve the title."

"You’re just old trash, that’s all!"

Gu Qingcheng’s power surged, wrapping up the severed limb and yanking off the black-gold ring.

She pointed with a single finger, letting loose a sweeping wave of quasi-Emperor Realm Perfection rule power.

Bang! A thunderous roar shook the air.

The arm was reduced to nothingness, vanishing without a trace.

Gu Qingcheng beckoned with a gentle gesture— the black-gold ring fell into her hand. She picked it up and studied it for a moment.

"An early quasi-Emperor Realm-level restriction?"

Restrictions were something nearly every cultivator had to learn.

But her restriction skills were only at the Saint Realm Perfection level.

*Still, at her current quasi-Emperor Realm Perfection, such a restriction was nothing to her.*

*If it couldn’t be unraveled gently, then just break it open by force.*

Crack.

In an instant, the Black Gold Treasure Realm concealed within the ring was completely exposed to Gu Qingcheng’s sight.

Her pupils constricted.

The Black Gold Treasure Realm was an enormous Dimension Secret Realm, much larger than all thirty of Hang City’s Secret Realms combined.

And it was a portable world all of its own.

Inside were not only all the demon beasts, treasures of heaven and earth, and Rare Magic Plants from every Secret Realm in Hang City, but also all sorts of other demon beasts and trial grounds.

*Wu Zong’s own heart was bleeding.*

*His original arm was gone.*

*Sure, he could regenerate an arm, but nothing would compare to having his natural one.*

*From now on, his combat power would take a major hit.*

*His future limits would be drastically lowered as well.*

*Watching as the Hang City Empress refined his Black Gold Treasure Realm, he almost felt his heart stop beating.*

Inside that Black Gold Treasure Realm was not only Hang City’s resources, but everything the Wu Family had ever plundered from other forces in the Mortal Realm.

In total, the resources were worth more than ten times what Hang City alone possessed!

*At this point it really was losing the wife and the army— not only did he lose the sesame seeds, but the entire watermelon too.*

*Still, at least his prized son had managed to get away.*

His son Wu Kang had the makings of a Great Emperor.

*As long as Wu Kang lived, the Hidden Martial Family would have a chance to turn things around.*

*Once Wu Kang grew powerful, this Hang City Empress and the mysterious Quasi-Emperor Realm Perfection expert behind her would both get their retribution!*

*Of course, right now, his son Wu Kang had gone to Secret Realm No. 28.*

*Hopefully, he would never come back— that he would flee this place and never return to the Wu Family in the Rule Domain.*

*What Wu Zong didn’t know, though, was that Wu Kang had already been wiped out, body and soul.*

He had just left Secret Realm No. 30 when he was rammed by a Starry Sky Giant Beast and utterly evaporated, not even a trace left behind.

Xiao Ye asked with curiosity, "Sister Qingcheng, are the demon beasts there?"

Gu Qingcheng’s tone turned gentle, her lips curving into a faint smile, "They’re all here."

"The curse-type demon beasts, and all sorts of demon beasts from every Secret Realm in Hang City, they’re all here!"

Xiao Ye let out a sigh of relief, "That’s good to hear."

His goal had been to slay the curse-type and Auspicious demon beasts and gather enough resources to upgrade Qin Xi’Er’s template for her template advancement.

Qin Xi’Er was also his Beast Girl. As long as she was his Beast Girl, he would upgrade her template and seek out cultivation resources for her.

As long as these Beast Girls cultivated swiftly, Xiao Ye would receive feedback for their upgrades— Talent Skills, and all sorts of bonuses.

Anything his Beast Girls obtained, he would reap the rewards.

Wu Zong’s eyes were bloodshot; he gave a cough and said,

"You’ve already gotten back Hang City’s resources— even the stuff that isn’t yours, I handed over."

"Can you let us go now?"

Gu Qingcheng slowly slid the black-gold ring onto her slender, fair finger, and after a moment, finally replied,

"Go? Where to— hell?"

"These resources weren’t given to us by you, Wu Zong. We reclaimed them ourselves."

When Wu Zong and his wife heard that, their eyes went dim.

*This time, they were finished for good.*

*Even their lives were forfeit.*

*Held captive by the Quasi-Emperor Realm Perfection expert behind them, all their realm, spiritual power, and rule power were sealed. They couldn’t mobilize a single shred of strength. There was zero chance of resisting.*

Gu Qingcheng turned her back and said, "Xiaonannan, do it."

Jiang Xue’an instantly exploded with aura— power from the stars slowly flowed around her hands. If she exerted force, the Wu couple would instantly perish, body and soul destroyed.

Xiao Ye suddenly called out, "Wait!"

Jiang Xue’an asked in confusion, "Master, what’s wrong?"

Xiao Ye asked, "Sister Qingcheng, are there any Auspicious demon beast groups in the Black Gold Treasure Realm?"

Gu Qingcheng shook her head, "No."

Xiao Ye nodded, his gaze shifting toward the Wu couple. He said coolly, "Does your Wu Family Territory have any Auspicious demon beast races?"

The Wu couple clung to hope for survival, nodding frantically, with an expression uglier than crying, saying,

"Yes!"

Xiao Ye’s lips curled up, revealing a wicked grin.

"Sister Qingcheng, the Wu Family came to plunder our Hang City resources, causing us massive losses. We need some compensation."

"We’ll be taking the resources they own in the Rule Domain."

Gu Qingcheng was taken aback, *Damn, that’s just flipping the script entirely.*
