367: Chapter 367 Uprooting Trees

Outside, the City Lord and a group of High-ranking Officials saw the shadow puppets escorting several bishops out.

The City Lord's originally arrogant demeanor vanished in an instant. He looked at the shadow puppets, "Gentlemen, where are you going? Do you need my help?"

"Gentlemen?"

The City Lord spoke, then looked at the shadow puppets. However, his expression changed. He was speaking to them, yet they didn't even acknowledge him, simply walking straight out.

"This is too disrespectful."

Nearby, the High-ranking Officials saw this scene, and their mouths twitched.

Just as they prepared to walk toward the Black-robed figures, the next moment: "What are you doing!"

The City Lord shouted to stop them, then watched the shadow puppets leave.

On this side, the remaining people looked at the City Lord with confusion in their eyes, "City Lord, these two guys are too disrespectful. You spoke to them just now, and they acted as if they didn't hear you. When have we ever suffered such humiliation?"

"This is completely borrowing power to bully others. These people only dare to act like this because they are relying on the influence of that young man from earlier."

"..."

As they spoke, the City Lord's mouth also twitched, "With your strength, you wanted to go over and cause trouble just now? Do you know what kind of strength those few had?"

"Huh?!"

Hearing this, they realized that the strength of those few must not be simple. But they still stubbornly asked, "What kind of strength?"

"Those few, I'm afraid they have Late Stage Marquis-level strength. In my estimation, they have already reached the Half-Step King-level, or perhaps even above the Half-Step King-level!"

Boom!

This one sentence was like a thunderclap on flat ground, causing their eyes to widen suddenly. They couldn't believe what they had just heard.

This, this, this... Above the Half-Step King-level?

What a terrifying existence!

Terrifying, it was simply too terrifying.

The people who had been preparing to stop the shadow puppets felt their legs go weak. Chills rose from their feet, heading straight for their skulls.

They felt the hairs all over their bodies stand on end.

"We should just honestly be good servants. Don't cause extra trouble for anything else. Even if they take some of our assets, it doesn't matter. Understood?"

The City Lord looked at them, afraid they would cause more trouble, and immediately warned them.

The group: "..."

"Is our tolerance level already this high now? This doesn't seem like you, City Lord!"

If the City Lord knew what they were thinking now, he would definitely give them a retort, "Isn't this forced by the situation?"

On this side, inside the vault, Ye Qing had already collected the best items into his System space.

As for the rest, he would take a portion with the Six-Winged Sky Tiger later, and let the shadow puppets slowly transport the rest back into Huaxia.

As he said this, he moved his mind directly.

Outside.

The City Lord looked at them, "Alright, stop making those faces. Smile. Also, don't shout or scream anymore. Do you all understand?"

"Understood, understood."

"We understand, City Lord."

"Anyway, as long as we send these few away, it'll be fine."

The City Lord also said, then waited quietly. Behind him, a guard seemed to hear a sound, so he looked behind him.

The next moment.

His heart was shocked, "Ah!" A loud shout suddenly came.

City Lord: "..."

"Damn it, did you take what I said as farting? I just told you not to shout, and you immediately start shouting, right?"

The others nearby also turned their heads in confusion, wanting to see why this guy was shouting.

Then, they looked behind, and their hearts trembled violently.

This, this, this... What is this...

Even the City Lord's legs went soft. What kind of scene was this? Hundreds of Black-robed figures were gathering from all directions.

"My God..."

The City Lord watched, a feeling of despair rising in his heart. With so many Powerful Experts, if they wanted to destroy his city, wouldn't it be as easy as flipping their palms?

"Gentlemen, Lord Ye is inside. Shall I take you in?" The City Lord saw the shadow puppets coming over and immediately said, but the other party seemed not to have heard him at all, ignoring him completely and heading straight inside.

The City Lord looked at the High-ranking Officials beside him and realized they were like frightened little chicks, standing there, cowering, their faces deathly pale, not daring to say a word.

City Lord: "..."

"Didn't you guys have a lot of ability just now? Why have you become like this now? Good grief."

Inside, the shadow puppets also entered, then began to transport things.

Outside.

Several bishops also returned, bringing back a large amount of assets.

Afterward, Ye Qing looked at the main hall of the God Awakening Society and saw that there was actually a golden giant tree. Ye Qing looked at a bishop, "What is that?"

"Lord Ye, that is an exotic plant. It was originally an alienated variety with excellent quality. After our Pope obtained it, he cultivated it with great care, watering it with the blood of exotic beasts and the like. It grew up, from the initial sapling growing taller and thicker, into its current appearance, a towering shape."

As the bishop spoke, Ye Qing became interested. This exotic plant didn't look simple; it was very valuable. However, it looked like the roots of this exotic plant had already spread all over the ground beneath the main hall.

Anyway, he had already looted the assets of the God Awakening Society, so he wasn't afraid of pulling out this big tree and destroying the main hall. Or rather, a place like the God Awakening Society should be destroyed directly.

Ye Qing thought this, then stepped forward, heading toward the giant tree.

In an instant, everyone looked at his actions, all with stunned faces.

This... Lord Ye, what is he going to do?

The City Lord watched, and his heart suddenly stirred. A terrifying thought suddenly appeared in his mind. Lord Ye, could it be that he wants to pull out this giant tree? This is too terrifying!

He had seen this giant tree before and had spoken with Kairi a few times. Kairi said he had raised this giant tree for decades, watering it with heart. Now its roots had gone deep to an unknown extent, and Kairi himself admitted that even he couldn't pull this tree out.

Now, Ye Qing actually wanted to pull it out? This was simply a fantasy. The City Lord watched, wanting to see if Ye Qing could actually pull it out.
