Chapter 1299 - 1299: Plundered Without Leaving Anything

Back to Zheng-Fu...

When the pawns started working and creating chaos throughout the force, Zheng-Fu immediately went to the restricted area where all the treasures and resources of the force were stored.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

"Who's that?! This is a restricted area. Without an order, absolutely no entry!"

When Zheng-Fu arrived at the entrance of the treasure room, two guards immediately shouted to stop him from entering.

"I'm Lou-Seng, Thirteenth Unit Chief. I'm here because I received an order from the Big Chief to get something from the treasure room. Here, an order!"

Zheng-Fu had long been prepared for this. He had previously been allowed to enter and get medicine from the treasure room, but he did not enter at that time. He kept this order because he thought he might need it someday, and he finally used it today.

Umm!

Blop!

"All right! This is real permission. Thirteenth Unit Chief, please follow me. I'll take you to get your medicine!"

When that guard saw that the order to enter was real, he reduced his harshness towards Zheng-Fu, before gesturing for Zheng-Fu to follow him into the room to receive the medicine as specified in the order.

Thank you!

Of course, Zheng-Fu's plan was not to rob by force but by using his brain. He planned to enter there only to memorize the locations and see what spells were inscribed, especially spells related to dimensions and spaces so that after he left, he could re-enter through his Dimensional Gate. If there were spells controlling spaces and dimensions, Zheng-Fu might have to change his plan slightly. Otherwise, he might have to use force and reveal his identity.

Not long after, in the Dark Crescent Secret Force's treasure room…

'Suitable for being a top-level assassin force, they really have a lot of treasures and magic items. Huh! A separate dimension connected to a spell? It's absolutely not ordinary. Anyway, this spell is no problem for me at all. It's so easy to modify it to connect to my secret dimension instead!'

After entering, Zheng-Fu found that the treasure room was much larger than it looked from the outside. Or to be precise, this treasure room was a separate dimension connected to the spell inscribed on the entrance door. If someone who did not know opened the door, they would only find an empty room, or perhaps a room full of traps.

But that was not the case for Zheng-Fu. He was not worried about it at all. Because he could modify that spell more easily than using force to plunder these treasures and valuables.

"The medicines are over there. Unit Chief, please follow me. And… I hope you won't do anything other than get the medicine you've been ordered to get!"

While Zheng-Fu was looking around, the guard who led him spoke up. It seemed that the guard saw that Zheng-Fu was paying attention to his surroundings, so he spoke in a slightly harsher tone, warning Zheng-Fu not to do anything beyond the scope of his orders.

"I understand. Please, lead the way…"

Thump! Thump! Thump!

Cleng!!!

Ah!

"Oh, sorry! I wasn't looking and kicked this chest. I'll quickly put it back in its place."

No need!

"I'll handle it. You just step back from there!"

In fact, Zheng-Fu had intentionally kicked that chest because it was placed at one of the spell's locations connected to this separate dimension. However, just kicking the chest to move it slightly still did not change the spell. But it would give him a chance to modify the spell while the guard was busy putting the chest back in place. And it only took him a few breaths to do so.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Flop!

As the guard bent down to deal with the chest, Zheng-Fu flicked the drops of demon monster beast blood coated with his energy onto the precise locations of the spell characters. This type of demon monster beast blood was the main variable he used to modify the spell connected to this separate dimension. And the reason he coated the blood with his energy was to remove the energy of the people in this force.

Flop!

"Done, let's continue!"

Umm!

A few breaths later, the guard spoke up before looking seriously at Zheng-Fu to see if he was acting suspiciously. But when he saw that Zheng-Fu did nothing unusual, the guard continued to lead him to the medicine storage area.

"These are the pills you can get. The order states that you can choose between a healing pill or an energy-boosting pill."

"I choose the healing pill."

Here!

"You've got your medicine, so we can leave now!"

Umm!

After the guard handed the pill to Zheng-Fu, he put the energy-boosting pill back in its place before nonchalantly telling Zheng-Fu to follow him out of the treasure room. Zheng-Fu did not object or show any displeasure. He immediately followed the guard out of the treasure room.

"What's wrong? Why do you look like that?"

After Zheng-Fu left, the guard standing outside asked the guard who had brought Zheng-Fu into the treasure room with curiosity, because he saw that his comrade's expression looked strange, as if he had something on his mind.

"Nothing. I just thought that Thirteenth Unit Chief seemed a bit strange. He was usually a bad-tempered person and didn't show much respect to anyone. But today he looked very quiet and calm, as if he wasn't himself. That's why I have this look on my face," the guard told his comrade what he saw about the Thirteenth Unit Chief when he brought him to the treasure room. He thought that Lou-Seng's demeanor today was very different from before, but he could not tell that the man was not Lou-Seng.

Umm!

"Isn't it good that he treats you well? I think it's good that you don't have to worry about it. Or do you want him to treat you badly like before?" However, the other guard smiled when he heard the reason before he teased the comrade in a good mood and relaxed manner.

Huh!

"Try treating me like that again! He'll know what hell on earth is like!"

Whooooosh!!!

When the guard finished speaking, a terrifying energy wave spread out around him. It showed that this guard was at the late seventh level of the Great Deity Stage. If he were given another year or two, he would be able to break through to the eighth level without much difficulty. And this level of energy was comparable to single-digit unit chiefs or even the elders of the force.

But it was reasonable because if they were not this strong, these two guards would not have been assigned to be the gatekeepers of the treasure room. If the guards were weak, how could the treasures that were kept there be safe? Even though there were already protective spells, it was necessary to have another layer of guard by skilled martial masters. And these two took on that important task.

"Come on, don't be upset!"

Although these two guards were the late seventh level of the Great Deity Stage cultivators, it did not affect Zheng-Fu at all. Even the Half-step Supreme Deity Stage cultivator could lose if Zheng-Fu were to give his all, trading his life for the other's.

After leaving the treasure room, Zheng-Fu did not go far because he knew that the matter of those crazy pawns from the Thirteenth Unit would be known throughout the force, and the administration would definitely summon him. However, Zheng-Fu was not foolish enough to stand by idly; he quickly sought out a dark corner and quietly slipped back into the treasure room.

Since the treasure room's dimensional connections had been partially altered, causing the dimensional gap to slightly distort, it was a loophole for Zheng-Fu to move back in without triggering the tactical formation alert.

Flap!

"I never thought it would be so easy like this. All right! Time to plunder!"

Zheng-Fu grinned in satisfaction as he looked at the vast amount of treasures around him. If a small clan were to possess them, they would instantly become a great clan. If they were already a major clan, they could become the number one clan on the continent within the next few decades.

On the other hand, if the Dark Crescent Secret Force lost these treasures, it would be no different from indirectly collapsing. Because maintaining the force required resources to sustain its members. Without support in terms of wealth and resources, no one would want to remain with this force.

Flop! Flop! Flop!

Still not satisfied with just collecting all the treasures, Zheng-Fu chose to seize this separate dimension entirely. So, he adjusted the spell to connect this treasure room to a building in his secret dimensional space and then sent the message to inform the elders there.

If he succeeded, when the people in the Dark Crescent Secret Force opened the treasure room door, they would only find an empty room. This was truly a slap in the face and an insult to them.

Whooooooooosh!!!

Success!

Not long after, Zheng-Fu successfully managed to deal with the spell connecting this separate dimensional treasure room. At that time, if he opened the door, the place he would find would no longer be the main base of the Dark Crescent Secret Force, but a building in his secret dimensional space instead. Because now, this treasure room was connected to that place.

Creeeaaak!!!

Respect, Grand Leader!!!

Respect, Grand Leader!!!

When Zheng-Fu opened the treasure room door and came out, a respectful and polite greeting sounded from the group of people waiting outside the room. They were Elder Bo-Tian, Zi-Dong-Lei, Elder Zi-Liang, Elder Ma-Long-Hao, Ma-Li-Wei, the new Purple Dragon Serpent Tribe Chieftain Xiao-Teng, and many others who had joined Zheng-Fu's clan.

"Everyone, no need for formalities."

Thank you, Grand Leader!!!

"Congratulations, Grand Leader, on your successful mission!" said Elder Bo-Tian. Ever since he had accepted Zheng-Fu as Grand Leader and was willing to serve him, he had been more polite and respectful towards him. When he heard that Zheng-Fu had accomplished something, he immediately congratulated him.

"This is just a side benefit. It's not my main mission yet."

Umm...

"Then what will Grand Leader do next? Do you want us to do anything?"

"I'll stay here for a few days because I feel that soon I'll be able to break through to the next level."

Since his main mission had not been accomplished and the chances of success were not very high, plus he was not fully ready, Zheng-Fu did not rush to do it right away. Additionally, he felt that he was close to advancing to the next energy level, so he thought about cultivating the energy first. If he could break through to the seventh level of the Great Deity Stage, he would have nothing to worry about and could hunt down the demon monster beast supreme commander by himself.
