Chapter 540: Chapter 539: Breaking the Imperial City

Peter Brown hadn’t expected the outcome to go so smoothly, wiping out almost half of the Sea Clan’s high-end strength in one fell swoop.

Looking in the direction of the Sea Clan Army, Peter considered what his next move should be.

After mulling it over, Peter activated the Flying Fish Talisman and quickly rushed towards Bermuda.

Peter had already decided that if the Underground People Clan couldn’t fend off the Sea Clan’s attacks after losing so many of their top warriors, it would simply indicate their incompetence, and there was currently no need for him to assist them.

If the Land Cultivation Army couldn’t beat the Sea Demons without their Foundation Establishment experts, their incompetence would be on display as well. It was time for the land cultivators to hone their fighting skills.

Since he didn’t have to go anywhere, Peter settled on his next move: breaking into the Sea Clan’s Imperial City.

The Sea Clan was a royal federation, and the emperor had supreme authority, including the power to command the military. However, each affiliated region also possessed substantial power. If Peter were to break into the Imperial City, it would deal a severe blow to the Sea Clan’s morale.

Without giving it much further thought, Peter’s Flying Fish Talisman sped towards Bermuda at top speed.

The talisman moved incredibly quickly through the sea, and Peter soon arrived in the Imperial City.

While disguised, Peter caused chaos among the Sea Clan citizens in the city, making them very anxious.

It was only then that Peter seriously observed the Imperial City.

He realized that the Imperial City was indeed built inside a mysterious space.

This was a very stable space, perfectly suitable for a city to be built in.

What astonished Peter the most was the spiritual energy here - it was richer than any other place he had encountered.

However, Peter hadn’t come here to sightsee. He reasoned that the Sea Clan’s emperor might not have grasped the situation yet, but once he did, the army would undoubtedly return to protect the Imperial City - the Sea Clan’s foundation.

There was no time to waste.

After locating his disguise, Peter stored it away and charged towards the core area of the Imperial Palace.

On his way, Peter wielded his Black Knife, effortlessly slicing down any Sea Clan members in his way.

Looking at his merit tree in his Qi center, Peter noticed that each time he killed a Sea Demon, his merit points would increase by one.

As he continued on, Peter watched his merit points rapidly rise.

Peter’s heart had hardened by now, and he was no longer the cautious, fresh-out-of-prison man he once was.

Once he reached the Imperial City, he saw hundreds of Sea Demons charging towards him.

Without setting up a formation, Peter activated several layers of defense and charged into the crowd, brandishing his big knife.

Engulfed in the crowd, Peter heard their attacks against him, but he ignored them. Each swing of his knife took down a vast number of Sea Demons.

Soon, Peter cleared the outer Sea Demons and proceeded further in.

"Idiot!"

A Qi Refining 12th Layer Sea Demon charged towards him.

Without any suspense, Peter killed the Sea Demon with a single strike.

After killing the Sea Demon, Peter stormed into the Imperial Palace.

Seeing demons from the Royal Clan running around, Peter controlled some of them to help him search and collect treasures.

In this place, Peter was practically invincible, with no Sea Demon able to challenge him.

The treasure vault of the palace was immense, so much so that Peter was shocked. After countless Large Space Rings had been filled from multiple palace archives, Peter finally had every item stored.

Apart from that, he used the controlled Sea Demons to collect a vast amount of treasures from other parts of the Royal Harem.

With no time to go through his haul, Peter stored the Rings, continued his killing spree of experts from the Qi-refining sixth layer and above, and then left with the Flying Fish Talisman.

His journey to the Sea Clan Imperial City was nothing short of a robbery, as he had practically plundered the entire palace.

After leaving, Peter decided to set up an Underwater Six-line Array on the only path the Sea Clan could take to rescue their city, and he sat there, waiting cross-legged.

Peter’s raid on the Imperial City had thrown the Sea Clan Army, who were currently attacking the Seabed Human Tribe, into chaos.

The Imperial City was the foundation of the Sea Clan. As Peter broke into the city, the Sea Clan’s experts couldn’t believe their losses against him.

"You’re saying what?"

Emperor Linda Bryant looked at the person reporting to her, her face full of disbelief.

"Your Majesty, only three of the twenty-one experts we sent out managed to escape."

Upon hearing this, not only was Linda in disbelief, but the ministers as well.

"How is that possible?" A Foundation Establishment minister looked at the person incredulously.

"The three who escaped are outside."

"Let them in."

Linda couldn’t believe that the experts she had sent out had been killed off so easily.

"Which power is responsible?" Linda looked at the three returning experts, unable to deduce who was capable of such a feat.

"Your Majesty, it was Peter Brown, Peter Brown!"

"What?"

All the people present gaped at the three Foundation Establishment experts.

"Nonsense!" A minister pointed at the Foundation Establishment Sea Demon who had spoken: "Peter Brown is only at the Qi Refining Stage. How could he possibly kill twenty-one of you single-handedly?"

"That’s right, even if he’s more formidable, how could he kill someone at the Foundation Establishment second layer?"

Linda’s eyes swept over the three of them and then took out a mirror-like object. Upon activating the Mirror Magical Treasure, the scene of the twenty-one people fighting Peter was projected.

Everyone watched the battle.

As they saw their own scattered and fleeing in the face of defeat, the astonishment on their faces subsided, making way for lingering shock.

"Report!"

At this moment, a Sea Demon rushed in.

"Report, Peter Brown has broken into the Imperial City and is now looting the palace."

"What?"

At this news, everyone present fell into a daze, their eyes fixed on the person who had reported this.

Looking at the three returning Foundation Establishment experts and then at the reporting Sea Demon, everyone realized that their minds were struggling to process this information.

They wanted to say, "How is this possible?" but they also felt that this was likely true, and were at a loss as to what to do.

"Quick, contact the direction of the Imperial City. I want to know the latest situation!"
