The Divine Nine-Dragon Cauldron

2660 Chapter 2,551, there was another misunderstanding

Su Yu looked at him indifferently. With a light tap of his finger, a wave of spatial energy swept Shaohao a trillion miles away.

Before the other party could rush back, he took back the spatial storage device.

As for the many treasures that he could not take away in time, with a squeeze of his palm, the entire space in the treasure vault shattered.

The remaining martial dao resources were all destroyed.

Finally, Su Yu took a look at the treasury. After confirming that he could take away everything and destroy everything that he couldn’t take away, he left without leaving a trace.

When Shao Hao returned, what he saw was a shattered treasury.

“Ah!”Shao Hao couldn’t suppress his anger and turned it into a roar that soared into the sky. “No matter where you are, I swear, I will make you pay the price!”

The heavy roar broke through the sky and swept across the surroundings.

Su Yu, who was already hiding at the edge of North Bright City, heard this shout.

“With you?”Su Yu smiled and shook his head.

All he did was to make Shao Hao pay some interest.

What he wanted was a price that Shao Hao couldn’t afford!

A few days later.

Shao Hao finally mobilized the strength of the sects from the territories around him to repair north bright city.

Because of the distortion of space, the experts needed to work together to restore the space.

The whole process was very slow.

It took a whole month for half of northern light city to recover.

The experts trapped in the Great Emperor’s Palace were all angry.

In the Great Hall.

Shao Hao’s face sank. “Everyone, northern light city was attacked by an unknown person and almost destroyed. This is our eternal shame. You must search the city for this person. If you find him, kill him and notify me immediately!”

He handed over Su Yu’s portrait to them.

The many experts immediately dispersed.

After they all left, a trace of anxiety appeared on Shao Hao’s face. He asked, “Yanran, how are the Martial Dao resources that have been confiscated from the various factions?”

The treasury of North Bright City had already been ransacked.

It was simply impossible to pay more resources to the experts that followed them.

As for the many shops in north bright city, they were still in the distortion of space and were unable to confiscate their resources.

They could only forcefully take them from the treasure vaults of the large and small powers.

Yanran took out a spatial storage item and handed it to Shao Hao.

The latter swept his gaze over and frowned. “Only ten billion worth of resources? What use is that?”

He had close to a hundred Earth Dao Masters by his side. Ten billion was simply not enough for their monthly offerings.

“Great Emperor, this is already the limit. The large and small powers are all accumulating wealth and preparing to exchange for the crossing Nightmare Lotus seat. It is already very difficult for them to hand over these.”Yanran sighed helplessly.

Shaohao snorted coldly. “What are you saying? They have taken root in my territory and all the resources they have earned belong to me. So what if I take a portion?”

“Pass down the order. All the sects must hand over one-third of the resources in the treasury. If they don’t comply, I will personally come!”

Hearing this, Yanran secretly frowned and advised, “Great Emperor, you can’t do this! One-third of the resources may decide the life and death of a sect. If the great emperor forcefully takes it, it may very well cause them to defect.”

Shaohao didn’t think much of it. “I would still be afraid of them rebelling. Hehe! Take them away immediately!”

Even though that was what he said, Shaohao understood it very well.

His actions were harming his foundation, and it was very likely that it would trigger a large-scale rebellion.

However, he had no other choice.

If he couldn’t gather enough martial dao resources in a short amount of time.

At least half of the one hundred Earth Dao Masters that followed closely behind him would be gone.

The most important power in the battle for the control of time was the Underground Dao Masters by his side, not the leaders of the sects and forces.

Thus, he could only come up with this plan.

“Alright.”Yanran sighed. “I’ll inform them again.”

“Wait!”Shaohao’s eyes flashed. “Let Biyun Hong Xian go with you.”

Yanran immediately understood Shaohao’s intention.

To spy on her!

He was worried that Yanran would pocket a large amount of martial arts resources during the seizure process.

Yanran was displeased and said calmly, “Emperor, are you suspecting me?”

Shaohao’s expression did not change and he said, “What are you talking about? I’m just asking Biyun Hongxian to help you take a look.”

Yanran clenched her fists slightly.

Ever since they returned from the time wilderness, Biyun Hongxian and her father had brought back nearly twenty Dominators’magic treasures.

Shao Hao’s trust in them grew stronger and stronger.

On the other hand, she had only handed in a few items due to her misgivings.

In stark contrast, Shao Hao’s attitude towards her was clearly not as good as before.

“Great Emperor, I’m not your subordinate. I’m here to assist you. What good will it do me if I drag you down now?”Yanran asked with a burning gaze.

Shao Hao wasn’t angry. “I said that I didn’t doubt you! Do As I say!”

Yanran’s lips twitched, and she left angrily.

Shao Hao stared at her back with a much gloomier expression. “Does this woman think that I don’t know that she’s hiding a sovereign artifact and won’t hand it over?”

He looked at the spatial storage device in his palm and became even more suspicious. “You only took ten billion? It would be strange if you didn’t take money from it!”

He didn’t know that a weak spatial ripple had flashed past under Yanran’s feet just now.

Outside the Great Hall.

In a certain corner, Yanran clenched her hand and a spatial domain appeared in her palm.

Yanran’s pretty face was filled with coldness when she saw the information within.

“You are indeed suspecting me!”Yanran couldn’t help but think of Su Yu’s warning. Shao Hao might very well be disadvantageous to her.

She understood Shaohao’s character.

He would do anything to achieve his goal!

For the sake of the remaining Dominion artifact in her hands, he might really order someone to assassinate her.

After thinking for a moment, Yanran activated the jade art and contacted Su Yu.

“Senior, can you come out and meet me?”Yanran sent a message.

Su Yu was in a certain restaurant and immediately replied, “When and where.”

“Tomorrow, at this time, at the city gate,”Yanran said.

At this time tomorrow, she would set off from the city gate and head to the various factions to Recollect Martial Dao Resources.

Before she left, she wanted to see Su Yu once more to understand the situation that day in detail.

The next day.

Yanran left the Great Emperor Palace alone and headed toward the city gate.

Just as she left, Yanran’s sharp senses sensed that there was a faint eye in the sky watching her back.

There was no doubt that Shaohao’s people were secretly watching her.

She was angry, so she used her spatial domain and left calmly.

In the next moment, she appeared near the city gate.

There was still an incense stick’s time before the agreed time.

She leaned against the city wall and thought quietly.

“Shaohao, will he really kill me? Or is there another misunderstanding?”Yanran thought calmly.

If she could confirm the identities of the three people who had discussed killing her, then the truth would come out.

Subconsciously, Yanran still believed in Shaohao.

Although he was arrogant, he was not stupid enough to make a move on her.
