Chapter 463: I Came to the Dragon-Man Realm to Do Only Three Things!

Chen Yi came to the Dragon-Man Realm to do only three things.

Gather artifact forging materials.

Instigate a war between the Dragon-Man Realm and the Holy Dragon Realm.

Use the Dragon-Man Realm's Earth Spirit to nurture the human world's Five Element Root Vessels.

Among the four Root Vessels in Chen Yi's possession, the Qiankun Mirror had suffered the most severe damage to its Artifact Body, but the Artifact Spirit with the worst damage wasn't actually the Nine Provinces Cauldron, but the Mountain River Armor.

Because the Mountain River Armor currently had no Artifact Spirit at all.

The difficulty of nurturing a new Artifact Spirit back into existence was no lower than restoring the Artifact Body—the Five Element Root Vessels originated from the evolution of heaven and earth, not from ordinary artifact forging methods, so they couldn't be restored through artifact forging.

Therefore, the Dragon-Man Realm's Earth Spirit could not be let go.

Use the finest Earth Spirit to repair the most severely damaged Root Vessel.

After all, repairing the Five Element Root Vessels also required considering the time cost.

The sooner the Five Element Root Vessels were repaired, the more advantageous it would be for Chen Yi to guard against the Black Hand—there was no doubt about that.

It was still the Five Talented Brothers of Xuanlan who went to gather the materials.

These five old brothers exchanged glances with each other. By now, they had all transformed to look exactly like Chen Yi, taking on the appearance of Holy Dragon people.

"The boss's disguise art may be heaven-defying, but Holy Dragon people possess the ability of Dragon Transformation. It seems we don't have that kind of ability."

Chen Yi could transform, sure.

But considering that the Xuanlan brothers were only going to gather materials, not cause trouble or pick fights everywhere, they could just run if they encountered any problems.

After the Five Talented Brothers of Xuanlan left, Sotuofeiren spoke up eagerly.

"Boss, should we do it the same way as before, find this Dragon-Man Realm's Young Master, and then whack him?"

Chen Yi shook his head.

"No, this time, we're going to directly take out the Dragon-Man Realm Master!"

"Ah? Why?"

"From what I know, the Dragon-Men all crave advancement. If the top position becomes vacant, it means everyone below has a chance to be promoted. So what do you think will happen next?"

"It'll definitely descend into chaos with endless infighting! Brilliant, brilliant! Kill one person, plunge the entire realm into turmoil!"

"Not just that. In order to become the new Realm Master, those ambitious bastards will inevitably need to win people's hearts and build up their prestige. Since Holy Dragon people killed the previous master, the best way for a new master to win hearts is to avenge the former master."

"Beautiful! That way, the infighting Dragon-Men will go to war with the Holy Dragon Clan, and both sides will definitely fight until they're bloody and bruised, neither able to gain the upper hand!"

Sotuofeiren looked like someone who loved watching the world burn.

At the same time, he secretly felt grateful in his heart.

Thank goodness the Winged Realm hadn't received the same treatment as the Holy Dragon Realm or the Dragon-Man Realm, or everything would've been over for them.

Before making his move this time, Chen Yi needed to first complete the fostering of the Mountain River Armor.

Otherwise, once the Dragon-Man Realm descended into chaos, finding someone with the authority to make decisions would be difficult.

So, Chen Yi restored his original appearance and, along with Sotuofeiren who was also disguised to look respectable, went looking for the Dragon-Man Realm Master.

The two humans flew blatantly across the skies of the Dragon-Man Realm, and before long, they attracted a squad of Dragon-Men.

"Whoa, damn! I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me just now, but I never expected they're actually humans!"

This squad of Dragon-Men wore full armor and served as guards for a factory complex below.

Seeing people flying in the sky in violation of flight regulations, they came up to investigate.

They hadn't expected what they found—humans actually appearing in the Dragon-Man Realm!

This squad of Dragon-Men were all at the Martial King Realm.

Using Martial Kings as security guards—the Dragon-Man Realm was quite extravagant.

"You two, where did you sneak in from? Confess honestly, and we'll grant you a proper burial, hahaha!"

Seeing these Dragon-Men lacking any sense of discretion, speaking to his boss like that, Sotuofeiren's temper flared up on the spot.

"Merely at the Qi Transformation realm's Early Stage, yet so arrogant and disrespectful—are you tired of living!"

These Dragon-Men only laughed even harder.

"Oh! Didn't think humans still knew about 'Qi Transformation' these days. Haven't you all forgotten that long ago? Hahaha!"

Sotuofeiren raised his hand to kill them.

But Chen Yi stopped him.

"Wait a moment."

"Boss, why bother wasting words with these noobs? They definitely don't know where the Dragon-Man Realm's higher-ups are. Just whack them!"

Chen Yi smiled.

"I'm just a bit curious how these Dragon-Men are so ignorant of death."

With that, Chen Yi unhurriedly addressed the other side.

"First of all, we two can fly. Secondly, your Divine Sense probably can't discern our cultivation levels. Isn't there a possibility that we're both Martial Gods? In that case, wouldn't you lot just be asking to die?"

Hearing Chen Yi's words, the Dragon-Men exchanged glances, then burst into laughter again.

"Hahaha! Don't make your grandpa laugh!"

"Exactly, exactly! Your human world, even at its absolute best, can you even muster a single palm's worth of Martial Gods?"

"Besides, the human world is the top priority target for our Realm Master's surveillance. We know your experts better than you know yourselves."

"This guy is underestimating our Dragon-Man Realm's intelligence network. The intelligence department's year-end bonus should be docked this year."

Chen Yi eavesdropped on their heartstrings and knew these people weren't lying.

He also figured out from their inner thoughts that these Dragon-Men weren't brain-dead or ignorant of death—they were just extremely confident in their intelligence system.

The human world was indeed a top surveillance target for the Dragon-Man Realm, with numerous intelligence operatives planted and countless secret outposts established.

They regularly reported back to the Dragon-Man Realm, publishing information about the human world's experts.

They not only monitored the human world's Martial Gods but also kept tabs on Martial Saints like the Sword Lord and Shen Yue who showed promise of breaking through to Martial God.

These Dragon-Men didn't recognize Chen Yi and Sotuofeiren, so they instinctively assumed these were insignificant Small Fry that even the intelligence personnel didn't bother tracking.

That's why they acted the way they did—completely unafraid, not even bothering to take the two of them seriously.

So, Chen Yi released Hu Chacha from the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

This squad of Dragon-Men instantly stopped laughing.

Hu Chacha looked at them awkwardly and waved his hand.

"Hey... I'm from the intelligence department's human world working group..."

The reason these Dragon-Men didn't recognize Chen Yi wasn't because the Dragon-Men's intelligence system was incompetent.

Rather, after the fifth Simulation ended, Chen Yi had thoroughly purged the human world, wiping out every Dragon-Man outpost and hidden Dragon-Man.

Intelligence about the human world had been cut off, so naturally, these mid-to-low-level Dragon-Men didn't recognize Chen Yi.

Given their standing, they couldn't access high-level information either, so they had no idea the intelligence department had run into trouble in the human world.

"Why aren't you laughing anymore? Weren't you just laughing pretty happily?"

Chen Yi looked at these Dragon-Men with amusement.

Cold sweat gradually broke out on their faces, and True Qi within their bodies had already begun circulating—perhaps preparing for a big battle, or perhaps getting ready to flee.

"Hu Chacha, it must be pretty boring being alone in the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, right?"

Hu Chacha coughed once.

"It's actually pretty lively in there."

"How about I send some fellow countrymen in to keep you company? You'll have more in common with fellow countrymen, right!"

"The boss's great kindness can never be repaid in a lifetime!"

The Dragon-Men across from them had already frozen mid-thought after seeing Hu Chacha's soul body. Then when they saw Hu Chacha address Chen Yi as "boss," question marks seemed to pop up all over their heads.

What the hell was going on here?
