404: Income 500 million Lingshi
Wind King!
Qin Zheng fell to his knees in fright, and quickly said, "I was wrong first, but I am still Qin Tian's biological father."
"Even if I was wrong."
"Even if I wasn't good to him."
"But, ultimately, he exists because of me; I gave him life."
He said excitedly, "Please let me go, let me leave the Yan Yang Empire!"
"Silence!"
Guo Feng's face sank. "I originally intended to spare you for the sake of Senior Brother Qin Tian, but if you keep acting like an old man and blabbering, I'll just slap you to death!"
"Ah?!"
Qin Zheng was overjoyed when he heard this, and quickly kowtowed, "Thank you, Wind King, thank you, Wind King, I was wrong, I was wrong, I won't say that anymore!"
Qin Tian, standing by, felt a mix of emotions!
Qin Tian was his Junior Brother, but also the Wind King, though only a Lower-Class Duke.
However, in terms of peerage, Qin Zheng was indeed a rank lower.
Moreover, with Guo Feng being conferred as a King, it was normal for Qin Zheng to kowtow to him in terms of status.
However, Qin Zheng's demeanor truly made him uncomfortable.
Guo Feng waved his hand: "You may rise and speak, do not kowtow at every turn."
"Yes, yes!"
Qin Zheng was overjoyed.
Guo Feng then said, "There are conditions for you to leave."
"Speak, I will surely accomplish it!"
Qin Zheng nodded quickly.
"First, come with me to Guo Wang City. When I battle Duke Guo and Zhao Xing, you will, in front of a million soldiers, reveal your conspiracy to rebel with Zhao Xing."
"Second, hand over your treasury."
Guo Feng finished speaking and looked at the other party, "If you disagree with even one of these, you will have no chance of survival."
"But..."
Qin Zheng was no longer thinking about the treasury at this moment.
Instead, he was thinking about his own life.
He frowned, "At that time, Third Uncle Zhao Xing and Duke Guo will probably both want to kill me..."
"Don't worry, I will never stand by idly and will ensure your smooth departure from the Yan Yang Empire's borders."
Guo Feng said with certainty.
"Alright."
Qin Zheng also understood that he had no choice.
What Guo Feng wanted was for him to confirm the fact that Imperial Relative Zhao Xing had conspired to rebel.
This was also his last value for survival.
He could only gamble that Guo Feng would keep his word.
He then sighed, "Thank you, Wind King, for giving me this opportunity. My treasury is actually in a void grotto. I'll take crew there!"
Guo Feng was not surprised by this statement.
Because Qin Zheng was, after all, the foremost person beneath the five great State Dukes.
It was normal for the Grand Manager to have a void grotto.
It was also normal for him, a Qin Xiang Duke, to have a void grotto.
Soon after, he took out a token, then with a thought, summoned a void teleportation vortex.
Guo Feng and Qin Tian followed him and immediately entered it.
Upon entering, crew arrived before the massive mountain gate of a grotto.
This grotto was clearly not as grand as the Grand Manager's Yu Xu Grotto-Heaven.
It was only about the size of a third-rate sect.
There were also some servants inside.
There were places for living, practicing cultivation, refining pills, and forging artifacts, all well-equipped and quite luxurious.
Subsequently, crew arrived before a grotto treasury.
Qin Zheng said, "I spent a lot of effort to obtain this grotto as well."
As he spoke, he handed the token to Qin Tian, "Tian'er, I really did neglect you."
"I'll give you this grotto token."
He paused, a look of melancholy on his face, "From now on, this grotto belongs to you."
Qin Tian frowned slightly and took it.
Guo Feng couldn't help but laugh, "Qin Zheng, don't try to be sentimental and build your image here. You couldn't have kept this grotto anyway. It's really not good to use this opportunity to do a favor for Senior Brother Qin Tian."
"Uh..."
Qin Zheng couldn't help but look embarrassed.
Guo Feng, however, waved his hand: "Alright, this grotto will be for Senior Brother Qin Tian. I don't need that many grottoes either."
He looked at Qin Tian, "Senior Brother, refine this grotto token, then open the treasury. The wealth inside, we two Senior Brothers will split half and half."
"This..."
Qin Tian looked surprised.
He could imagine how much wealth Qin Zheng had accumulated here during his many years as the City Lord of Qin Wang City.
Guo Feng actually wanted to split it half and half with him!
He was about to refuse.
Guo Feng, however, waved his hand: "Senior Brother, although we haven't known each other for long, we've gone through life and death several times together. I'm always very generous to my own people."
"Then thank you, Junior Brother."
Qin Tian was also looking for an opportunity to break through his cultivation, and he needed a lot of resources, so he no longer refused.
Instead, he kept this kindness in his heart.
Soon, he refined the grotto token and gained control of the grotto.
Then, crew opened the treasury.
As expected, Qin Zheng's treasury was no worse than the Grand Manager's.
In terms of cash spirit stones, it was even better.
The total value of cash spirit stones was two billion low-grade spirit stones!
This was already extremely wealthy.
Moreover, there were millions of pills of various grades, tens of thousands of spirit artifacts, hundreds of magic treasures, tens of thousands of spirit talismans, and tens of thousands of various natural treasures.
There were also some strange and unusual items.
In short, the value of the items inside was extremely high.
This also showed how vast the foundation of a Royal City Lord was.
Guo Feng and Qin Tian browsed through the treasury.
Qin Tian quickly said, "Junior Brother, I want half of the spirit stones, and for the other pills and spirit talismans, I'll pick some that I need, and the rest will be yours. Don't decline this."
"Alright."
Guo Feng heard this and didn't act coy.
As his status grew higher and his power expanded, just for rewarding others, he would need quite a lot of these things.
Furthermore, he still had to bring some back to Huaguo and Tianqi Sect.
So many people also had a demand for these resources.
Subsequently, the two of them immediately 'divided the spoils'.
Guo Feng took away 500 million worth of spirit stones, and then practically emptied the rest of the treasury's inventory.
In an instant, Guo Feng's wealth surged once again!
His spirit stone reserves directly reached 800 million!
Moreover, his space was once again filled, even seeming a bit cramped.
So, he immediately spent 1 million spirit stones, equivalent to 10 billion in assets, to directly increase his space to 1.21 million cubic meters.
This time, the space expanded dramatically.
It was equivalent to a 400,000 square meter warehouse.
As large as 57 international standard football fields!
The entire space was six times larger than before, becoming much more spacious.
His mood also brightened considerably!
And this action of his also stunned Qin Tian and Qin Zheng, who were present.
How large was this portable space?
One must know that many people had to hide their wealth in treasuries precisely because they didn't have large enough spatial artifacts.
"Alright, Senior Brother, just leave Qin Zheng in your grotto. Without your permission, he won't be able to leave either."
Guo Feng was refreshed at this moment.
Then, he waved his hand, "Let's go out and avenge your mother!"
He paused, "After we finish all this, we will immediately head to Lion Mountain City to rendezvous with Deputy General Nan and crew, and begin our great campaign against the rebels!"
"Revenge?!"
Qin Tian was stunned for a moment, his emotions a mixture of inexpressible excitement.
However, he shook his head, "Junior Brother, forget it, this revenge will be put off for now."
"Ah?!"
Qin Zheng was startled.
Qin Tian's desire to kill Shi Xuan to avenge his mother was almost an obsession.
Yet, at this moment, he was not seeking revenge?
