Chapter 160: Chapter 149: Successful Extortion, Retreat Thirty Kilometers, Revival (2-in-1) _2

If the king holds me accountable, wanting to die will be a luxury I can’t afford!

Remembering the king’s brutal means, a fierce shudder coursed through me, and I no longer wanted to complicate matters further.

I hurriedly spat out with hatred, "Thirty kilometers! Only thirty kilometers, that’s our bottom line! If you don’t agree, come fight us!"

Although retreating our defensive line had the whiff of ceding territory in exchange for peace, which could damage my reputation,

upon further thought, trading thirty kilometers for the future death of a Human Race powerhouse seemed well worth it.

Besides, what did three hundred kilometers matter?

Once the Human Race was driven out of the domain, this place would still belong to us.

This time, I’ll let them go!

Lian Shi Ping was still not satisfied with this, but the other two held him back by the arms and transmitted a message to him, "That’s enough, we’ve got a great advantage already, don’t be greedy!"

"Let’s quit while we’re ahead!"

Lian Shi Ping thought about it and agreed that they had indeed gained a considerable advantage this time around, and that was almost enough.

Even a cornered rabbit will bite.

So he barked out angrily, "Take your people and get lost!

"In ten minutes, any who remain here, I’ll kill one for each I see!"

Mosley gave a cold snort, leading the Two Demon Generals as they turned to leave, and ordered with a rumbling voice:

"All our warriors, cease the attack and retreat immediately!"

This battle was merely a probe and now that the conclusion had been drawn—that their current military strength was clearly insufficient to crush the Human Race and retrieve the Sacred Object—

They would wait a while longer, until they had marshaled the rabble from nearly half the domain, and then they would come back with a vengeance, to drive out and eradicate the Human Race!

...

Lian Shi Ping and the other two glowered as the Three Demon Generals and all the Iron Chain Demons below them slowly withdrew.

Once the enemy’s figures had completely vanished, Lian Shi Ping suddenly dropped the murderous intent on his face and chuckled, "This time we’ve taken quite a bargain.

"Thirty kilometers, huh? The survival rate of the newly entered martial artists will have to increase by more than half!

"If I had known that scaring them a bit could save so many people, I would have taken the Secret Treasure and paid their lair a visit long ago!"

The two beside him rolled their eyes and retorted, "You can get lost, claiming you scared them. You almost scared me to death!"

"You’ve got some nerve, actually swindling those beasts and it bloody worked!"

Lian Shi Ping laughed, "The bold live on, while the timid starve to death!

"Swindling them into believing that kid is really dead, and taking the opportunity to gain a bit more, it’s a win-win, mate, we win twice!"

The two shook their heads helplessly, with one of them speaking gravely,

"They’ve lost this time and failed to capture those two Yan University students. With their despicable character, do you think they’ll let it go?

"I’m worried they will strike again."

Lian Shi Ping sneered, "That’s for sure. These animals are very petty; they will definitely seek revenge. We need to come up with a way to deal with them."

He turned and flew back to the base, which had already shut down its light screen, "Let’s head home!

"When we get back, we have to thoroughly grill that kid who made such a big scene, and find out exactly what rock that Monkey sprang from!"

...

Chu Feng zipped into the base behind the light screen and did not show himself, but instead rushed towards the Xingyun Commerce Chamber outpost, seizing the last bit of time.

The effects of [Attribute Burst] and [Five Qi Blood Activation Technique] had disappeared, and the [Severe Injury] status that lasted for a day appeared on the Attribute Panel, with ’Essence, Qi, Spirit’ attributes all dropping to 1 (25).

Now he was just an ordinary person, stripped of his invincible combat strength; the safest place for him at the moment was undoubtedly with Zhou Xian.

Just as the effect of Wind Concealment was about to wear off, making his form half-visible, he returned to the meeting room he had left before and flopped onto the soft carpet.

’Every time I come back in such a sorry state, it’s ridiculous. Can’t this damn skill have a reduced side effect?’

Internally, I was speechless. This happened every time, and one day it would surely lead to disaster!

I wondered if the side effects of [Attribute Burst] would change after advancing to Innate.

Unable to fight off the overwhelming fatigue that came surging forth, I looked at the massive 630 Attribute Points I had saved up and fell asleep with a content smile.

...

...

After an indeterminate time, Chu Feng was suddenly woken up by a muffled yet urgent whisper.

Upon waking, the first thing I noticed was that I was lying in a bed in a small room, covered with a thin dark green blanket.

Looking around, the room was tiny, no more than about thirty square meters in size, and the furnishings were nearly Spartan in their simplicity.

In sight were only a bed, an antique wood wardrobe with a full-length mirror, a simple set of wooden table and chairs, a plain leather sofa, and a glass coffee table with a scratched surface.

Though unadorned, it was extremely clean.

The chairs were tucked under the table, where pens and notebooks were aligned with utmost neatness.

The sofa surface gleamed, free of dust, reflecting the faint white light streaming through the window.

On the edge of the coffee table were two upturned porcelain cups, next to a metal tea caddy.

Apart from the domain’s inherent faint sulfur smell, there was no trace of any other odor in the air.

The bloody clothes I had been wearing before I passed out had been changed. Instead, I was now dressed in a black short coat.

At the bedside were my cleaned weapons, True Armor, and various snacks, along with a brand-new ... uniform?

"Where am I? Ouch!"

Confused, I attempted to sit up, only to feel a wave of soreness and swelling throughout my body, involuntarily letting out a soft hiss.

Then, there was a knock on the door.

A deep and decisive voice came through, which immediately conjured the image of an iron tower-like burly man in Chu Feng’s mind:
