Chapter 2236: Sudden Death
Chapter 2236: Sudden Death
Wang Da’s instincts are telling him that there was something precious inside the spatial item. This was because he had been grinding the spiritual lock down for an entire day, and yet the lock hasn’t shown signs of being broken through.
Looking at the inconspicuous necklace in his hand, Wang Da’s fiery gaze became more intense. He was now becoming more and more eager to see what was inside.
On the other hand, Zhao Hai and the others have yet to return to Demonheart City. They spent the way back comfortably. This was because they didn’t take a mission while heading back. This allowed them to travel in a more relaxed way.
During this mission, Zhao Hai showed his skills to everyone. He was able to traverse a sticky situation in front of the Blood Knife Gang members. This allowed him to command the others smoothly on the return trip.
Liu Zhen was also leading his men back to Demonheart City. Nobody has noticed their departure. This was partly because the gang was still new to the city and also partly because Liu Zhen and the others had been stealthy in their departure. They only left with a small group of 50 people. The gang was also currently busy with building houses, so nobody paid any attention to them.
After Liu Zhen returned to Demonheart City, the Blood Knife Gang continued to be low-key. At the same time, Liu Zhen was paying attention to any movements made by the Moonfall Palace. He wanted to see how they would react.
However, in the following days, there was no response from the Moonfall Palace. It was as if nothing happened.
At this time, Wang Da has reached the final stretch of his goal. He could feel the spiritual lock loosen. As long as he continues, the spiritual lock will break.
Despite the goal being very close, Wang Da didn’t become careless. He knows that this was the most important period. If he wasn’t careful, he might destroy the spatial item. He slowed down and made sure to properly grind down the remaining energy in the spiritual lock.
After two hours, Wang Da felt the spiritual lock disintegrate. He couldn’t help but light up with joy. Ten minutes later, the spiritual lock completely disappeared. Wang Da couldn’t help but relax.
But all of a sudden, a terrifying amount of spiritual force gushed out from the spatial necklace. Before Wang Da could respond, the spiritual force shook his soul causing it to collapse.
Wang Da only felt a pain on his head before he vomited blood and fell down. The spiritual force from the spatial necklace hasn’t been exhausted and continued to flood Wang Da’s head. In the next moment, Wang Da’s head burst like a watermelon. Not long after he broke through to the Teleportation Stage, Wang Da perished in an unknown cave.
At the same time as this happened, Zhao Hai heard the Space issue a prompt, “Observation Subject No. 1221 has died. Asking the Host whether to withdraw the monitoring.”
Hearing the prompt, Zhao Hai couldn’t help but stare. Then his complexion changed. He knew clearly who Observation Subject 1221 was, it was Blood Knife Gang’s Master Wang Da.
Zhao Hai didn’t dare monitor a Teleportation Stage Expert like Wang Da. Someone like him could easily discover the presence of liquid silver.
Although Zhao Hai couldn’t monitor Wang Da, he could easily monitor the Moon fall Palace’s convoy leader. Zhao Hai could see how much care the fat man placed towards his necklace. Therefore, Zhao Hai placed a speck of liquid silver dust on the necklace.
When Wang Da took the convoy leader’s life, Zhao Hai didn’t remove the silver dust on the necklace since it wasn’t necessary. Even if Wang Da noticed that someone was monitoring him through the necklace, he wouldn’t think that it was Zhao Hai.
However, Zhao Hai still didn’t dare actively monitor the necklace in Wang Da’s hand. Experts like Wang Da were extremely sensitive.
Because of this, Zhao Hai only had the Space use the necklace to observe passively. So, if something major happened to the necklace, Zhao Hai would be notified immediately.
But Zhao Hai didn’t expect the report he’d receive would be about Wang Da’s death. This information stunned Zhao Hai. Wang Da was a Teleportation Stage Expert, how could he die easily? What happened?
Thinking of this, Zhao Hai contacted the Space, “Show me the recording before Subject No. 1221 died.”
The Space immediately complied, then a recording appeared in Zhao Hai’s mind. Looking at the video, Zhao Hai understood how Wang Da died.
Seeing Wang Da, Zhao Hai knew that the spatial necklace had a spiritual lock. And Wang Da was using the safest way to break it.
Then Wang Da smiled, obviously managing to open the spiritual lock. Then all of a sudden, Wang Da collapsed after vomiting blood. Shortly after, Wang Da’s head exploded.
Seeing this, Zhao Hai understood what happened. Besides a spiritual lock, the necklace also contained a wave of terrifying spiritual force. If the lock was opened in an unorthodox way, the spiritual force would surge out and attack the trespasser.
When Wang Da finally broke the spiritual lock, he unconsciously lowered his guard. So, when he opened the lock, the spiritual force easily caused him to faint. Then after that, it attacked more fiercely causing Wang Da’s definite death.
Zhao Hai couldn’t help but sigh. He didn’t expect Wang Da’s life to end like this. He just broke through to the Teleportation Stage. He was dreaming of using his new strength to reach greater heights. In the end, he perished in this manner. ꞦάŊő𐌱ΕꞨ
Despite this, Zhao Hai didn’t feel bad. With a thought, he opened a spatial rift underneath the necklace, sending it straight to the Space.
Looking at the necklace inside the Space’s inventory, Zhao Hai’s gaze couldn’t help but turn hot. He really wanted to know what’s inside the necklace. However, he also knew that this wasn’t the right time. He had seen what happened to Wang Da, and he wouldn’t make the same mistake. He would wait until everything was stable before slowly checking inside.
After putting the necklace away, Zhao Hai looked at Wang Da’s corpse. Zhao Hai couldn’t help but sigh, then he waved his hand and sent Wang Da’s body to the Space to be turned into Undead.
All of this happened without Zhao Hai moving his body. Others have no idea that something significant has happened. Naturally, Zhao Hai wouldn’t tell them either.
Zhao Hai and the others spent the next few days calmly on the road. Finally, twelve days later, the group arrived at Demonheart City.
Just as Zhao Hai and the others returned to Demonheart City, several experts in the Teleportation Stage arrived at the cave where Wang Da stayed. Besides bloodstains, these experts were unable to find anything. Most importantly, the item they were tracking has been lost.
These experts were naturally from the Moonfall Palace. The Moonfall Palace were able to trace Wang Da down because the spatial necklace was specially made. Besides the spiritual lock and the spiritual force attack, the necklace would also send its location once it was breached. Although this function could only be used one time, it was enough for the Moonfall Palace to locate the cave.
However, after arriving at the cave, the experts from the Moonfall Palace were unable to find anything. They immediately scoured the mountain to look for clues. When they still found nothing, they went to the next place of suspicion; Split River City.
Upon entering Split River City, the experts didn’t immediately make a move. They first inquired about news in Split River City. The experts stayed in the city for a few days. In these few days, one or two experts from the three gangs would suddenly disappear. These experts were all elder-level members of the three gangs. There people held pivotal positions in Split River City. THer disappearance caused the city to be chaotic. Even the Blood Knife Gang was involved. This was because the three gangs suspected that the disappearances were Wang Da’s doing.
After several elders from the three gangs disappeared one after another, the experts finally left. After leaving Split River City, the experts rushed to Demonheart City. After that, the Moonfall Palace didn’t dare make too many moves. Demonheart City was vastly different compared to Split River City. In Demonheart City, the Moonfall Palace couldn’t do anything they wanted. In Split River City, due to the lack of Teleportation Stage Experts, even if the Moonfall Palace eradicated the three gangs, no trouble would come for them.
But in Demonheart City, experts could be seen everywhere. Although the Moonfall Palace possessed several Teleportation Stage Experts, the other powers in the city were the same.
Most importantly, Demonheart City is under the Forbidden Path Sect’s control. If the sect found out that the Moonfall Palace was causing trouble, they would be erased. Not only would the Moonfall Palace be destroyed, those who followed the Moonfall Palace would also be dealt with. The Forbidden Path Sect wouldn’t allow anyone to challenge their authority.
