401: Chapter 401 So that's what it meant!

Sigh!

Talking about it just brings tears to my eyes. Let's just wait until we go back to prepare; right now, there is no other way besides this.

However, he also began to wonder just how much meat the Families within the Modu Barrier had eaten by following Ye Qing. It is said that Ye Qing even allowed them to participate in the development and sale of the mineral veins.

This stuff must have allowed them to make a fortune; otherwise, how could they have brought out so many things for Ye Qing?

It seems that this mineral vein is truly a good thing.

If Ye Qing could go to the Southern War Zone and discover two mineral veins, wouldn't the Southern War Zone make a killing?

Their Southern War Zone wasn't exactly well-off to begin with.

If it were really as he imagined, that would be an absolute rise to prosperity.

Thinking of this, the King of Nanling also began to have ideas.

On this side, the King of the Western Frontier and several other King-level Experts also fell into silence, though it was unknown what they were thinking at this moment.

Next to the King of the Western Frontier, Jiang Ying also looked at the resources in front of her. Her eyes were wide open, and she simply could not believe what she was seeing. There were just too many of these things.

For her, this was simply an astronomical figure, not to mention the resources Ye Qing had previously transported back from outside the territory. Ye Qing could now be called a tycoon, wealthy enough to rival a nation.

Tsk, tsk.

The group of Family heads looked across the way and saw that the King-level Experts had all fallen silent. They wore smiles on their faces. Good heavens, why had these King-level Experts all gone silent?

They must have been shocked by the gifts they had given, right?

Not bad, not bad. This way, they had achieved their goal.

However, the next moment, a Family head looked at the King of Nanling and then saw his expression. He was momentarily stunned.

Th-th-this...

What kind of look is this? It doesn't seem quite right!

Why does this look seem filled with resentment?

But he hadn't done anything.

Could it be that giving gifts to Ye Qing had somehow hindered him?

Impossible, that is absolutely impossible. He must have misinterpreted it.

Immediately, he turned his head and stopped looking at the eyes of those few.

A while later, Ye Qing looked at them. "You should go walk around the surroundings first. There are still many people who haven't arrived yet; you can consider yourselves early."

"Haha, they must be at home carefully selecting gifts for you, which is why they are late. Then we will go wander over there, Lord Ye."

"Go ahead."

Ye Qing said.

They walked in that direction.

And they were in a great mood.

After walking far away.

"Not bad. It looks like Lord Ye is very satisfied with the things we sent. Look, his face is full of smiles."

"It's not just that. I think those King-level Experts were also shocked, shocked by the sheer amount of things we sent."

"That's for sure. We went all out this time. Just wait and see. Those other Family heads don't know how many gifts we sent yet. When they come over excitedly and see how many gifts we have, they will definitely be stunned. This time, we have managed to get the upper hand over them."

"..."

They continued talking, their faces looking even more smug.

As they talked, they strolled around Qishan Villa. A while later, a Family head looked toward the other side, his face full of shock.

"Look over there."

"I was wondering why it was so warm inside Qishan Villa. So that's why."

Everyone looked and was momentarily stunned.

Good heavens, what is this?!

Ore?!

They are actually using Ore as fuel?!

This is too extravagant.

They thought, but then they had a second thought: those two mineral veins were both Lord Ye's assets, so this Ore didn't really amount to much.

However, there seemed to be another problem.

"Why can this Ore be ignited? Have you ever ignited those Ores before?"

One sentence made all the Family heads start shaking their heads.

After all, they had never ignited those Ores before.

Isn't this a stone?

This can be ignited too?

A Family head beside them stroked his chin with a thoughtful expression. "I once had nothing to do and tried to ignite Ore, but as you said, this thing is just a stone and it's impossible for it to burn. But it is indeed burning right now..."

"I feel like there is something wrong with that flame. Look, that flame is not the same color as ordinary flames. Moreover, even standing this far away, just looking at the flame gives me a feeling of being threatened."

"Let's go, let's go take a look..."

In just a few short sentences, they also sensed something was wrong. Immediately, they headed in that direction, preparing to see what exactly was strange about this flame.

They approached, and then a Family head prepared to reach out and touch it, but while still some distance away, he pulled his hand back.

"Sure enough, there is something wrong with this flame. Just now, when I approached it, it actually had a sense of aggression, and it gave me a terrifying feeling. If I continued to get closer, I would set myself on fire. Furthermore, this flame makes my Soul feel like it is shivering."

"Terrifying, it is truly too terrifying..."

The Family head said, and the others also had a feeling of hair-raising dread.

This flame, it seems, was also created by Lord Ye's artifact spirit.

An absolutely formidable existence.

"Alright, let's not crowd around this flame. We should head back. In a while, those guys should be coming over, and I am already a bit eager to see what kind of reaction they will have after seeing the gifts we gave."

"Haha, what other reaction could they have? They will definitely hate us to death."

"Let's go. Let's not wander any further forward. After all, I feel the energy ahead is even more concentrated. I'm afraid that up ahead is where Lord Ye stores his resources."

"You are still the most thoughtful. We really shouldn't continue forward. Let's not let Lord Ye misunderstand, and let's not intrude into someone's private space."

"No, that's not what I meant," the previous Family head said. "I'm afraid that after we go over there, feeling such dense energy and seeing so many resources, our mental states will shatter, and we will feel like paupers."

"And here we are gloating, thinking we gave Lord Ye such valuable gifts."

Everyone: "..."

Good heavens, so that is what it meant.
