Chapter 28 Entering the Royal City
......
After sensing for a moment, Qin Fengqing activated the energy barrier and silently headed towards the center of the town.
Qin Fengqing arrived at the outside of a building located in the center of the town and climbed over the wall to enter.
With the cover of night and the protection of an energy barrier, Qin Fengqing arrived at a corner of the house, in a room that resembled a conference room.
There were several martial artists at the fifth rank or above in the room, as well as a sixth-rank warrior-level underground martial artist sitting at the head of the table, who were discussing something at the moment.
Qin Fengqing went to the window and listened carefully. He heard the sixth-rank general say, "We have received a notice from the royal city that Lord Shentao will open the Fountain of Life in one day to provide healing for the Venerable and the Commander."
We need to conduct patrols to ensure the ceremony is not disrupted!
As soon as the sixth-rank general finished speaking, someone below exclaimed in surprise, "To actually require Lord Divine Peach to open the Fountain of Life, that must have been a serious injury!"
Someone said gravely, "According to news from the royal city, in this battle against the foreign powerhouses, two of the royal city's Venerables were seriously injured, their golden bodies were completely burned away, one commander perished, the rest of the commanders were all seriously injured, and more than 10 sixth-rank generals died in battle!"
The many underground warriors were shocked to hear this, as the royal city had suffered heavy losses this time.
No wonder it required Lord Divine Peach to open the Fountain of Life.
After discussing some trivial matters, the group dispersed.
......
After everyone had dispersed, Qin Fengqing's figure slowly appeared.
From the conversation just now, I learned that the Demon Peach Tree will open its Life Essence Pool in a day, so Qin Fengqing must hurry up and sneak into the royal city to make further plans.
Qin Fengqing immediately set off, continuing towards the royal city, and soon arrived at the main gate of the royal city.
At this moment, the city gates of the royal city are under heavy guard, with underground armies stationed outside the city and people checking identities at the entrance. Two long queues have already formed.
There was another line with very few people, marked "For Martial Artists Only," which was probably the entrance passage for martial artists.
Seeing this, Qin Fengqing went directly to the martial arts passage, and the flow of people quickly reached him.
Qin Fengqing directly displayed the fifth-rank medal on his chest. Upon seeing this, the inspectors respectfully escorted Qin Fengqing into the royal city.
......
After entering the royal city, Qin Fengqing did not wander around aimlessly, but thought she should find an inn to stay in.
Peach City is also under wartime management at this time, with a curfew in place and people not allowed to wander around freely.
After searching for a while, Qin Fengqing found a shop that resembled an inn and stepped inside.
After paying ten low-grade energy stones, they successfully obtained the right to live in a small courtyard.
After the innkeeper escorted Qin Fengqing to the courtyard, Qin Fengqing asked him not to disturb him for the next two days.
Upon seeing the fifth-rank medal on Qin Fengqing's chest, the innkeeper quickly nodded to indicate that he would not disturb him.
He then turned and left.
Qin Fengqing entered the room and used his spiritual senses to discover that the underground of the royal city was completely covered with the roots of the demon peaches. Therefore, Qin Fengqing had to be careful when digging the hole so as not to provoke a reaction from the demon peaches.
After making some preparations, he activated the energy barrier. Once the barrier was activated, Qin Fengqing was like a dead object.
Then Qin Fengqing took out tools from his storage space and started digging a hole, and all the soil he dug out was stored in his storage space.
During the digging, they encountered many roots of the demon peach tree. Qin Fengqing carefully avoided these tendrils and prevented contact with them.
As Qin Fengqing continued to dig, he also felt the energy concentration around him becoming increasingly concentrated.
This means that Qin Fengqing is getting closer to the inner lining pipe and is about to reach the core of the ore vein.
As Qin Fengqing continued digging, a passage soon appeared in front of him. He peeked out and saw that he had arrived at the mining area.
Qin Fengqing jumped down gently. The passage was very dark and there were almost no energy stones. Qin Fengqing was certain that this was an abandoned passage.
Qin Fengqing proceeded cautiously, and at that moment she could hear faint conversations coming from outside the wall, which meant there were people in another passage.
"The Fountain of Life will open in less than a day. Let's hurry up and finish what we're doing, find a nearby area, and see if we can use it to break through our cultivation level."
"The chances are slim. Even a 6th-rank warrior can only cultivate on the outermost edge. We can only cultivate in the mining area."
"That's better than nothing. Both the Venerable One and the Commander were seriously injured this time. It's said that Lord Divine Peach will release even more life essence to heal them. The energy concentration should be even higher than when the Fountain of Life was activated before!"
Are you sure?
"More or less."
......
The two of them spoke softer and softer.
Qin Fengqing waited for a moment, and only after hearing the footsteps from next door gradually fade away did she continue walking forward.
Qin Fengqing kept exploring as she approached the core area.
The energy barrier only makes it impossible to sense the aura, but it can still be seen with the naked eye.
Therefore, Qin Fengqing became increasingly cautious as she got closer to the core area, constantly listening for any movement from the other passages.
Only after hearing no unusual sounds did they slowly walk forward.
Although we don't know the location of the core area, we don't need to worry about it too much. The closer we are to the core area, the higher the energy concentration will be.
As long as you don't run into the cave warriors head-on, it's fine.
......
at the same time.
Deep underground.
The city lord of Yaotao City is not here at this moment. The one in charge of opening the Fountain of Life is the last eighth-rank Venerable of Yaotao City who did not participate in the battle yesterday.
On either side of him were the two eighth-grade Venerable Realm experts who had burned their golden bodies yesterday. At this moment, their golden bodies were dim and lifeless, and they could not even repair their injuries.
Behind him stood the four seventh-rank commanders from yesterday, all of whom were seriously injured, their faces extremely pale, and their injuries were not light.
The outermost group consisted of a dozen or so sixth-rank warriors, almost all of whom were injured.
Yesterday, the sixth-grade warriors also opened up the battlefield, and the sixth-grade warriors in the underground caves suffered a crushing defeat. Some of them were unable to retreat in time and were directly killed by Zhang Weiyu and others who returned.
Only after suffering such severe injuries would the Lord of Peach City and Lord Divine Peach agree to open the Fountain of Life to heal them; otherwise, almost all of the high-level cultivators would have lost their fighting ability.
At this moment, everyone was looking at a large hall deep underground, inside which a crystal-clear waterfall was suspended.
It was radiating a strong vitality, and even before I went inside, my wounds had already shown slight improvement.
As the group waited, an invisible wave spread outwards from the waterfall, creating ripples.
The eighth-rank Venerable presiding over the Fountain of Life shouted, "It's time to open! Everyone, heal your wounds immediately after the Fountain of Life opens!"
The commanders respectfully said, "Thank you for your reminder, Venerable One."
