Chapter 1289: Chapter 788: Bountiful Harvest

"Have you figured it out, what exactly happened?"

Within the Inner City of Zhou Tian City, a dignified middle-aged man wearing a Daoist robe with thunder lightning patterns asked solemnly.

Behind him stood seven or eight figures exuding the aura of a Primordial Spirit, while in front of him were several women collapsed on the ground with disheveled hair.

"Hall Master, we have figured it out,"

A young man, also clad in a Thunder Magic Robe, stepped forward to report.

"It was a mysterious figure cloaked in black, wearing a Ghost Face Mask, who suddenly appeared and sliced the entire Zhou Tian City in half with one sword, breaking the Circulation Star Array.

Then he consecutively killed the Gongshu Clan Leader and several other Primordial Spirit Ancestors of the Gongsu Family.

Subsequently, he broke into the Inner City and directly looted several of the Gongsu Family’s Treasury Vaults.

Before leaving, he also slaughtered all the Primordial Spirit Realm and Golden Core Realm members of the Gongsu Family hiding in the Inner City."

Upon hearing the young man’s report, the expressions of the seven or eight standing figures changed repeatedly.

There was no helping it; each event mentioned by the young man was too shocking.

Whether it was slicing Zhou Tian City apart with one sword or killing the clan leader and numerous Primordial Spirit Realm members of the Gongsu Family, such feats required immense power.

Especially Zhou Tian City, which had been fortified by the Gongsu Family for hundreds of thousands of years, was said to be impregnable.

The Circulation Star Array was renowned as a powerful array in the Heavenly Origin Great World.

Logically speaking, even the absolute top Primordial Spirits of the Eighth and Ninth Tribulations would find it difficult to breach in a short time.

Yet now they say someone could break Zhou Tian City with just one sword?

Everyone felt this too exaggerated to believe for a while.

Even the dignified middle-aged man was visibly shaken.

He looked at the young man and asked in a deep voice, "Are you sure what you said is true?"

"Reporting to the Hall Master, everything I reported was witnessed by the city residents outside, it is all true.

I even employed the Soul Searching Technique to probe the Divine Souls of a few intruders who had taken advantage of the chaos to enter the Inner City.

The findings were exactly as the city residents described," the young man said solemnly.

In fact, when he first learned of these events, he found them even more unbelievable than anyone here.

Because he felt it was so outrageous, he didn’t hesitate to use the Soul Searching Technique on a few Golden Core Realm individuals who took advantage of the chaos.

Unexpectedly, the findings confirmed that it was all true!

"Sliced Zhou Tian City in one sword..."

The dignified middle-aged man murmured, his heart even more shaken.

If what the young man reported was true, then the mysterious figure who attacked Zhou Tian City was unbelievably powerful, someone he couldn’t possibly contend with.

But how did the Gongsu Family provoke such a terrifying enemy?

This question also left the dignified middle-aged man puzzled.

At this moment, the foremost young woman among the sobbing women, adorned in luxurious clothing, suddenly shouted.

"Hall Master, you must seek justice for our Gongsu Family. It cannot be mistaken; that evil demon is the same one who assassinated our Seventh Master and stole the secondary treasury, his attire is just like that man’s!"

"What did you say?!" The dignified middle-aged man was shocked by the words and asked hastily, "Are you sure the mysterious warrior who destroyed Zhou Tian City is the same person from back then?"

The young woman, being the wife of a descendant from the direct lineage of the Gongsu Family, held a considerable position within the family.

It was only because her Cultivation was merely at the Foundation Establishment level that she escaped the disaster.

She knew a bit about the events back then, so she nodded with a face full of hatred.

"It can’t be mistaken, the mask that evil demon wore, it is exactly the same, it must be the same person from back then!"

At once, the dignified middle-aged man’s hand trembled, unable to hide the horror in his heart.

He knew that over the decades, the thing the Holy Alliance feared the most had finally happened.

He suddenly stood up, "Let’s go, we must return to the Holy Alliance immediately!"

Since that person has appeared, it must be reported as quickly as possible.

As for the Gongsu Family, it was no longer within his consideration.

A family with almost all its Primordial Spirit Realm and Golden Core Realm members fallen, there’s no need to place much importance on it anymore.

Even if an old monster survives outside the starry sky, the fall of the Gongsu Family from the ranks of the Thirty-Six Upper Clans is already inevitable.

Such a family, doomed to decline, was no longer worthy of his regard.

...

"Ah Qing, we’ve really struck it rich this time!"

In a smaller treasury, Little Li was rolling amidst a pile of Spirit Stones, a blissful expression on his face.

Little Yan and Xiao Bai’s shock was still lingering in their eyes.

Even Lu Qing was feeling exhilarated.

He had already broken open the various treasuries and tallied everything.

Even the Storage Magical Treasures from the Primordial Spirits of the Gongsu Family, whom he had slain, were accounted for.

It could be said, the gain was exceedingly substantial.

Substantial enough that even Lu Qing was a little excited.

The Magical Treasure and the likes of Elixirs were plentiful though not greatly beneficial to Lu Qing.

But the Spirit Stones, which he valued most, were an enormous pleasant surprise.

Similar to when he looted the second treasury of the Gongsu Family in the past, the Spirit Stones within these vaults of the Gongsu Family were of minimum middle grade, with low-grade stones scarcely included.

Lu Qing roughly estimated that the combination of several treasuries and the Storage Magical Treasures from the Gongsu Family Primordial Spirits yielded over two million middle grade Spirit Stones!

And the top-grade Spirit Stones exceeded twenty thousand!

Twenty thousand top-grade Spirit Stones, that’s a terrifying number.

Know that, back when Lu Qing looted the secondary treasury of the Gongsu Family, he only managed to gather a thousand top-grade Spirit Stones.

Even in the sensational auction in Tianshu City, the final auction price of the High Grade Spirit Artifact, the Immortal Golden Bell, was only fifteen thousand top-grade Spirit Stones.

"No wonder it’s a noble family with a legacy of hundreds of thousands of years, that accumulation is indeed incredibly profound."

Lu Qing let out a long breath.

However, he also understood why the Gongsu Family had so many top-grade Spirit Stones.

First, it’s due to the Gongsu Family’s millennia-old accumulation.

Second, the spiritual charm within top-grade Spirit Stones is so pure that without sufficient strength, they’re hard to refine.

Ordinary Primordial Spirits finding it luxurious to use middle grade Spirit Stones for Cultivation.

Using top-grade Spirit Stones for Cultivation is instead a tremendous waste.

Only those who have reached the late-stage Primordial Spirit Realm of the Seven Tribulations and above can genuinely refine its spiritual charm without waste.

It means most of the Gongsu Family’s Primordial Spirit Realm members were never qualified to use top-grade Spirit Stones for Cultivation.

Over time, the clan’s top-grade Spirit Stones only continued to accumulate.

Conversely, the consumption of middle grade Spirit Stones was greater.

So even with the combined treasuries, there were only two million.

Nonetheless, whether it is two million middle grade Spirit Stones or twenty thousand top-grade Spirit Stones, they’re a significant gain for Lu Qing.

The middle grade Spirit Stones, though not greatly effective, still have some effect.

The large quantity would still provide notable improvement to his Cultivation.

Moreover, even if he doesn’t use them, allowing Little Yan and Little Li to use them, they provide excellent Cultivation resources.

And the twenty thousand top-grade Spirit Stones are bound to bring significant breakthroughs to his Cultivation.

At the very least, going through one or two more Primordial Spirit Tribulations shouldn’t be a problem.

Besides, Lu Qing had a very unexpected find.

He carefully took out a small box.
