172: Lu Ze leaves Xuanyuan City

Meng Yanxing was consumed by rage, almost gritting his teeth as he shouted, "Beast Twelve!"

A woman, also wearing a dark mask, immediately darted out from the side and knelt respectfully on one knee before Meng Yanxing.

The woman was barely covered by a thin piece of clothing, and her exposed skin was covered in scars from whippings.

"Beast Twelve is here, awaiting Master Meng's command!"

Meng Yanxing threw the stack of documents in his hand onto the ground. "Go interrogate Qin Xiaoxiao! I'll give you one day to get all the questions on this clear! If even one question remains unclear, you can roll back to the beast pen!"

With that, Meng Yanxing strode back to the elevator and ascended rapidly towards the ground level!

Beast Twelve, still kneeling on the ground, only picked up the documents after Meng Yanxing had left. She then immediately walked towards the cage where Qin Xiaoxiao was imprisoned.

To clarify this stack of documents in one day, the time was indeed a bit tight!

As soon as he returned to the ground, Meng Yanxing furiously called Due and ordered, "Go immediately to the city's edge and instruct everyone that, from now on, anyone entering Xuanyuan City must be thoroughly vetted! You are to wait there personally! If Lu Ze returns, detain him at the edge at all costs and notify me immediately!"

Due hadn't seen Deputy Director Meng this angry in a long time, and he couldn't help but shrink his head, immediately agreeing. Then, with a swirl of Spiritual Qi, he shot towards the city's edge!

After waiting for a while, Meng Yanxing slowly calmed his anger and picked up his phone again, looking at the content.

The message contained only a few words.

"Deputy Director Meng, I have left Xuanyuan City and will return in a few days."

Lu Ze reporting his departure from Xuanyuan City to Meng Yanxing was something they had discussed previously.

It was also the only price Lu Ze paid for winning Shennong City and gaining the freedom to leave Xuanyuan City.

Normally, Meng Yanxing wouldn't say anything about Lu Ze leaving, but the timing of his departure was simply too coincidental!

What exactly was Lu Ze going out to do?

Perhaps he was going to retrieve that ice coffin, it was still unknown!

If this kid really did hide the ice coffin and the corpse, then there was no need for mercy; he would be suppressed immediately!

Meng Yanxing looked at the descending moonlight, his eyes deep, yet with a hint of Killing Intent.

Lu Ze, I hope it's not you... At the same time.

Lu Ze, using Cheng Ran's token, had already left Xuanyuan City, instantly passing through layers of demon encirclement, and heading towards a specific direction.

Half an hour later, Lu Ze arrived at the abandoned school where he had first come to clear out demons.

Lu Ze, wrapped in black clothes, pulled down his baseball cap and walked inside.

Soon after entering, an extremely fast figure suddenly appeared before Lu Ze!

A familiar voice also rang out!

"Monarch!"

Upon closer inspection, it was 'Zhong Sheng' in his gray robe.

"Hmm,"

Lu Ze nodded, looking left and right, "Have the surroundings been cleared?"

'Zhong Sheng' immediately replied, "Monarch, rest assured. As you instructed beforehand, we have thoroughly checked the surrounding area, and there are absolutely no humans!"

With that, 'Zhong Sheng' took out a Storage Ring and handed it to Lu Ze with both hands, "Monarch, the stolen ice coffin and corpse are all inside!"

Lu Ze reached out his hand, pressed on the ring, then pushed it back. "Keep this with you, and you alone shall guard it. I will retrieve it from you next time I see you."

'Zhong Sheng' put the ring away, "Monarch, rest assured!"

Lu Ze gave 'Zhong Sheng' all the items he had prepared a few days ago. "Take these back to the new city. You can decide how to distribute the contents."

Taking the several Storage Spiritual Artifacts from Lu Ze's hand and briefly inspecting them, 'Zhong Sheng's' eyes immediately lit up!

The contents of these small Storage Spiritual Artifacts were truly all-encompassing, from long-lasting food to durable clothes, and even Spirit Medicine and Talismans.

Lu Ze had provided them with almost everything they lacked this time!

With these items, their lives in the new city would be much better!

"You all use these things for now. Soon, I should be leaving Xuanyuan City, and I'll find time to visit you then. During this period, if you have nothing else to do, focus on developing the new city, especially everyone's Cultivation."

Lu Ze thought for a moment. The construction of the Human Base, in the end, was based on a powerful array.

It was the existence of this array that allowed the environment within the city to be free from the interference of external demons.

According to Lu Ze's current learning speed of Talismans and arrays, he believed that in a few years, he would be able to try to activate an array independently and truly build a "new city" no less than a Human Base!

By then, these new city dwellers would no longer have to live underground.

Lu Ze's instructions, 'Zhong Sheng' noted down one by one.

"Oh, and after you go back this time, you must be extremely vigilant and observe carefully. If you discover any strange people, do not hesitate; kill them immediately!"

"Yes!"

Seeing that the matters were almost settled, Lu Ze let 'Zhong Sheng' leave.

Looking at 'Zhong Sheng's' disappearing back, Lu Ze narrowed his eyes and murmured to himself, "Demons, long live, Guan Jiang, follow to the death..."

Lu Ze had heard this phrase twice already. The first time was when repairing the Fierce Evil Broadsword, and the second time was during this Breakthrough to Fifth Grade Cultivation.

Both times, he entered a dream-like place, where a group of people, like madmen, kept repeating this phrase.

"Guan Jiang? Is it the Guan Jiang Department? It seems I can try to get in touch with this organization in the future..."

Lu Ze paused for a moment and brought up his panel.

Host: Lu Ze

Cultivation: Fifth Grade Early Stage (5/40000)

Demon Points: 118960!

As Lu Ze's Cultivation advanced, the Demon Points required also increased.

At Fourth Grade, each stage only required 12,000 Demon Points; now it directly required 40,000 Demon Points.

However, Myriad Things Grow could mobilize Lu Ze's Spiritual Qi for Cultivation at any time, and in just a few hours, his Cultivation value increased by five.

Although the growth was slow, it was better than nothing!

With the panel closed, Lu Ze randomly chose a direction and flew off.

Lu Ze naturally understood what Meng Yanxing would think of his late-night outing.

Now, he needed to find a suitable excuse for this outing!

As Lu Ze moved further and further away from Xuanyuan City, the demons he encountered became stronger and stronger.

Lu Ze no longer bothered with the first, second, and third-tier demons he usually encountered; he bypassed them and continued deeper into the demon territory!

Suddenly, the sound of thunder rumbled in his ears!

"Master, there's a newly transformed Fifth Grade demon!"
