145: Chapter 145 Divine Artifact, the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl!

Afterward, he put the other items into his storage space.

Although this huge cave had hindered his pursuit of that dark shadow, there were still some gains.

Huh?!

What is this?!

Ye Qing moved the items aside and continued to look at the lines of text below, his eyes narrowing slightly.

"What is this? Did this person write this when he was dying?"

Looking at the text, Ye Qing understood.

This person had actually come here to find medicine for his daughter.

He had found a spiritual plant in this cave and wanted to bring it back to cure his daughter's illness.

However, his strength was insufficient, and he ultimately died here along with the exotic beast.

In the text, this guy pleaded for the spiritual plant to be delivered to Jiang City, offering these crystal cores as a reward; furthermore, if his daughter were found and the item delivered, even more rewards could be obtained.

"This guy, why was he all alone, without a contracted spirit by his side?"

Ye Qing searched around, but there were no other corpses.

"He was a good father, though."

"But you didn't even leave a picture of what your daughter looks like, so how is anyone supposed to deliver it?"

"Huh? Is this? A portrait?"

Ye Qing found a portrait on the corpse and then opened it.

The next moment.

Ye Qing looked at the portrait with shock on his face; he knew this Young Woman!

Ancient Divine Artifact!

sea stabilizing pearl!

After the final Ancestral Return, it possesses the super-powerful ability to seal the heavens and stabilize the seas!

Unexpectedly, he had actually found clues about her here.

Ye Qing began to feel excited.

He looked at the corpse and said, "Alright, I will handle this matter for you."

Afterward, he looked around the cave again, and after confirming there were no other good items, he prepared to leave.

Meanwhile.

On the other side.

Inside the Sucheng Military Department.

Marquis Ling Feng, Qian Tu, Liu Yuan, and the others were gathered in the office, looking at a document issued by King Fenghai.

On it were some transfer orders.

"Whoa, your Barrier has really hit the jackpot this time!"

"Hmm? This Town General named Zhong Jiaxing is to be transferred to our Barrier to serve as Vice City Lord?"

"Many of the Town Generals here are going to be transferred out to become Vice City Lords of First-Tier Barriers!"

Qian Tu and Liu Yuan looked on and couldn't help but sigh with emotion; King Fenghai was truly generous in this regard.

Reward for merit, punishment for mistakes!

A while later.

Marquis Ling Feng called over all the people mentioned in the transfer orders.

"Marquis Ling Feng, what's wrong? Why did you call us all here?"

Zhong Jiaxing said, and the others also looked at Li Xian in confusion.

"There is good news, see for yourselves. These are King Fenghai's new transfer orders. Each and every one of you is either going to a First-Tier Barrier to serve as Vice City Lord, or to a Second-Tier Barrier to serve as City Lord!"

They took the transfer orders and looked at them, their eyes widening, simply unable to believe what they were seeing!

They had actually been promoted!

It went without saying that this was a decision made by King Fenghai based on their performance in the Battle of Weicheng in Su City.

Speaking of this, they felt their faces burning.

The credit for defeating the World-Overturning Level Beast Tide this time mainly belonged to Ye Qing.

They could be considered to have been carried by Ye Qing.

Thinking of this, they looked at the transfer orders, but Ye Qing's name was not there.

They looked at each other and saw what the other was thinking.

Since Ye Qing's name was not in there, it seemed that Ye Qing would likely receive an even higher reward. Furthermore, Ye Qing was not currently a member of the military, so rewarding him via transfer orders might not be appropriate.

"Many thanks to King Fenghai for his trust, and many thanks to Marquis Ling Feng for his cultivation," Zhong Jiaxing said, looking at Marquis Ling Feng.

After all, he had spent quite some time in the Sucheng Barrier and had developed a deep bond with Li Xian.

Li Xian waved his hand. "Alright, you all go back and prepare for a while, then hurry up and set off."

"However, Old Li, you've transferred quite a few people away this time. Is your Barrier's defensive force sufficient?" Qian Tu, who was nearby, looked at Li Xian and asked.

"Could King Fenghai not have thought of that? This time, although we transferred away quite a few people, we also brought in some experts, as well as plenty of resources."

Listening to Li Xian's tone and looking at his expression, Qian Tu and Liu Yuan's mouths twitched.

Good heavens.

Judging by that tone, King Fenghai must have provided quite a few experts and resources!

A while later.

Outside, a figure came running over in a hurry.

"Marquis Ling Feng!"

The originally joyful atmosphere was broken by this hurried shout!

Everyone looked at the reporting Guard Army member, their eyes filled with inquiry.

What was going on? Why the hurry?

"Don't rush, speak slowly!"

Marquis Ling Feng looked at the Guard Army member and said in a low voice.

The Guard Army member took a couple of breaths. "Outside! Outside the city gate! Ye Qing has been attacked!"

What!

Whoosh!

In an instant!

Li Xian and the other two all stood up from their seats!

Their eyes were filled with savage energy!

Ye Qing was attacked?

Who had the audacity to do that?

Even Zhong Jiaxing and the others suddenly turned to look at the Guard Army member, all of them exuding a stern Aura, preparing to ask exactly what happened.

Feeling this powerful presence, the Guard Army member felt a chill in his heart.

"What happened! Tell us now!"

"And where is Ye Qing!"

"Speak quickly!"

Marquis Ling Feng felt the veins on his forehead throbbing.

Ye Qing must not be harmed.

"We saw Ye Qing arrive outside the Barrier to see off Leng Ming and the others. After seeing them off, Ye Qing was preparing to return when a giant tree was thrown over from behind!"

"Ye Qing kicked the giant tree back directly and then ran into the jungle!"

"He must have gone to pursue the person who attacked him!"

"You mean, Ye Qing went alone?!" Marquis Ling Feng immediately grasped the main point of the situation.

"Yes, Ye Qing went out alone, without a contracted spirit by his side!"

Everyone: "..."

Reckless, this was too reckless!

Even if your physical fitness is terrifying and you can defeat Leng Ming without using a contracted spirit, so what? The overall strength of a Spirit Master using a contracted spirit and one not using a contracted spirit are two completely different concepts!

Furthermore, the other party came specifically for you.

News about Ye Qing is flying everywhere now, and at the very least, everyone has a concept of Ye Qing's strength.

Whoever was sent to assassinate Ye Qing must be the best of the best!

With one layer after another!

Ye Qing is likely in trouble!

"Let's go, let's go take a look!" Qian Tu said, urging them.

After all, he had taken a liking to this promising talent as well!

Furthermore, if such a promising talent were lost, it would be a huge loss for China!

Immediately, everyone set off!

A while later, they arrived at the foot of the city wall!

"Marquis Ling Feng!"

"Has anything been discovered up there?" Li Xian asked anxiously.

"There... there is a situation."

The Guard Army member said.

Li Xian and the others felt a jolt in their hearts; they all stepped on the ground, leaped up onto the high city wall, and looked into the distance!

Upon seeing this, they were all as if petrified.

They stood on the city wall, stunned.
