206: Chapter 206 Daring to rob Lord Ye?!

They had quite a few crystal cores in their hands, but items like crystal cores were not only slow to absorb, but also contained violent energy.

If they could exchange the crystal cores for Ore, they would be able to absorb it much faster.

In this way, they could significantly enhance their strength.

"It seems I need to go to Jiangcheng Barrier to establish good relations with those Families. It would be even better if I could build a good relationship with Ye Qing," the Leader said.

Just after entering the door, he saw many people standing there, looking at him, wanting to speak but hesitating, with expressions of grief and indignation on their faces.

Huh?!

What is going on?

This expression was quite rare. Usually, after they went out to rob and returned, they would be high-spirited. Looking like this, could it be that they had suffered a defeat?

Did they kick an iron plate?

"What happened? Why do you have such expressions?" the Leader asked, looking at someone nearby.

"Leader, I think you should just ask the Second-in-Command directly."

"Don't interrupt, just tell me directly."

"Yes, it's like this. The Second-in-Command led the brothers out today and encountered a group of people. Seeing that they were transporting quite a lot of things, he thought they were fat sheep, so he led the brothers to charge down. However... those people were all extremely formidable. We lost quite a lot of items, but the things we snatched back were actually just some stones!"

Boom!

This sentence made the Leader's heart tremble, and his face began to twitch.

Was this considered entrapment?!

It must be; otherwise, how could they be pulling a cart of stones?

"Where is the Second-in-Command? Take me there!"

"Also, give me the list of the brothers who died!"

"Alright, Leader!"

The person who had been speaking, seeing the situation, trembled with fear and hurried to get it done.

A while later, the Leader held the list and looked at it, his chest feeling as if it were blocked.

Lost so many brothers?

This!

This was a huge blow to their strength!

"Big Brother! You're back!"

The Second-in-Command walked in quickly, his face full of grief.

"Big Brother, we kicked an iron plate today! The brothers have fallen!"

"Tell me what happened."

Hearing this, the Second-in-Command then recounted today's experience in detail.

Listening to the Second-in-Command's words, the Leader was also full of confusion.

So many people, just transporting some stones?

Something was wrong, definitely wrong!

"Go, bring those stones over for me to see."

A while later, the Second-in-Command brought the stones over.

The Leader looked at them, then felt them, and was surprised to find that they contained immense energy!

Huh?!

What is this?!

Could it be!

In an instant, the Leader seemed to have thought of something!

His mind stirred, and a suction force erupted from his hand!

Subsequently, a massive amount of power surged into his body.

This is!

Good heavens!

It truly was a case of 'finding what one is looking for without even trying'!

The Second-in-Command watched the falling stone debris and was stunned.

Huh?!

What is this?!

When did it turn into stone debris?

"Big Brother, what is going on?"

"Why did it become like this?"

"What do you know? This is Energy Ore, a hot commodity right now. No wonder they protected it with their lives when you were robbing them. This thing is quite valuable..."

The Leader explained the Ore, and the Second-in-Command understood.

"How much did you rob?"

"Not much, just brought a little bit back."

"What a pity," the Leader thought, then took a sip of tea. He didn't feel anything was wrong; after all, it was probably just obtained by some surrounding Families.

If they robbed it, they robbed it.

After all, even the Yongan Barrier couldn't do anything to them; the jungle was too vast, and they simply didn't have the human resources to conduct a thorough search.

The Leader took a sip of tea.

"We can go exchange for some of this Ore later."

"By the way, Leader, there is one more thing. When we were robbing them, they also said something."

The Second-in-Command seemed to have remembered something and said to the Leader.

"Oh? What did they say? Let me hear it."

As he spoke, the Leader took another sip of water.

"They said that this thing seemed to be what Lord Ye was sending to the Sucheng Barrier and the Jinling Barrier."

Pfft!

The next moment, the Leader sprayed out a mouthful of tea, turning it into a mist!

His eyes widened abruptly as he looked at the Second-in-Command.

The Second-in-Command was also stunned. What did this mean? Why did he suddenly spray water?

Was there something special about that sentence?

The next moment, his collar was grabbed by the Leader.

"You bastard!"

"Did you hear clearly? Was it Lord Ye? Was it the Sucheng Barrier and the Jinling Barrier?"

The Leader shouted, his heart pounding. After all, if it were just some Lord Ye, there might still be a glimmer of hope, but with the Sucheng Barrier and the Jinling Barrier mentioned, this Lord Ye couldn't possibly be anyone else!

It was Ye Qing!

It was Ye Qing, who had just stepped into the Marquis-level and created countless proud battle records!

Robbing his things, wasn't that courting death?!

Even if Ye Qing wouldn't take action, those who wanted to curry favor with Ye Qing would!

"It's over, it's over!"

"Big Brother, what's wrong? Why are you so panicked? Does this Lord Ye have some kind of background?!"

"Background? He has quite a background! We robbed Ye Qing's things!"

Boom!

This sentence made the Second-in-Command feel as if his scalp was about to explode!

He knew quite a bit about Ye Qing's battle records and deeds!

"Crap!"

Just as the Second-in-Command was regretting it, sounds of fighting came from outside!

"They're fighting!"

The two went outside.

Then they saw figures weaving through the main camp!

Hands rose and heads fell!

It was extremely bloody!

The entire camp was filled with blood mist!

The Bandits were wailing one after another.

The Leader and the Second-in-Command looked ahead, feeling desolate in their hearts. These people were not ordinary contracted spirit users!

This speed, this power!

There were quite a few Town Generals alone!

The High-ranking Officials of the Yongan Barrier had come!

It was just as he thought!

These people had really come to exterminate them just to curry favor with Ye Qing!

"Stop killing! Our Second-in-Command and our Leader are over there! Those two are our Second-in-Command and Leader!"

In the crowd, a Bandit shouted, pointing in the direction of the two.

Leader: "..."

Second-in-Command: "..."

What the hell, a traitor, are you?!

They glared at the traitor, wishing they could tear him apart, but before they could even move, those Family heads had already taken action!

Subsequently, those Family heads turned their gazes toward them.

"Run!"

"Run quickly!" the Leader said.

Subsequently, several figures came over from behind.

After a short struggle of just a few seconds, his and the Second-in-Command's heads were taken off.

"Family head, we have finished killing them all. In the room, we also found Energy Ore! It's just that it seems to have been absorbed a little!" a young man reported from the side.
