Chapter 423
Nie Li smiled and said, "This is the origin barrier of the latter era of the Woodland Empire. It uses twenty three Stones of Light as the activation core. Once it's activated, even a combination attack of ten Legend rank Demon Spiritualists can only dream about breaking it. And hacking with weapons, unless you have the strength that surpa.s.ses that of Legend rank."
"Well are you going to unlock it or do you want me to just smash it?" I ask him.
"Indeed, I have a method to break it. However, I'll need some time to study it. You guys can take a rest first." After speaking, Nie Li immediately began to study the ancient array.
My hand flew out and tapped the barrier shattering it like gla.s.s. Nie li only looked at me bitterly. "Sorry my hand slipped." I say with a smirk.
"You always do this, you complain you want to be lazy but whenever something comes up you just take over and do it your way." He sighs.
"I just want to be lazier quicker?" I question to myself.
"That doesn't even make sense!" He shouts.
I just shrug.
We walk over to the teleportation formation and he starts activating things. With a flash we are teleported off to a different area.
When
He sighs "I'll never get used to that." He says before placing all the orbs in their proper position.
While this is happening we are being surrounded by all sorts of monkeys. I had brought Ning'er because she had heard us talking about it and was curious this is turn made Nie li bring ziyun.
The monkey like creatures were all hairless and covered in red skin with sharp claws they had weird glowing blue eyes and were screaming to attract more attention.
Nie li quickly recognized them. "These are scarlet ghosts they usually hang out in horde of a few thousand they are only silver ranked but they can use their numbers to their advantage."
I quickly start pulling them into my internal world. If I remember correctly their blood can be used to make explosives so free art supplies.
At this point Nie li has given up on trying to get anything out of me. In the beginning he thought he was a smooth little s.h.i.+t and tried to get me to bald but I could literally just destroy his existence.
I feel a tug on my sleeve and look to see ning'er looking at me curiously. "Why are you taking them?" She asks me.
"They are over populated and their blood can be used to make weapons." I calmly explain.
What I didn't tell her was by the time I was done here there would be no population as I was stealing them all.
She just nods. Such an obedient girl.
After stealing most of the wildlife from the forest I use my divine sense to lock onto all the people in the realm. The majority are slaves or homeless and starving people. I have a thing for freeing slaves. With a quick mental tug I snag all the homeless and slaves putting them in a special place in my internal world to have things explained to them. While I'm at it I get rid of all the nasty killing collars they are wearing in case they were disobedient. If it was up to me I'd leave the rest of the n.o.ble families here to just starve it out but I said I'd let Nie li handle it since he wants them to join the city. No skin off my bones I suppose.
This causing a panic in the last remaining n.o.ble families as the slaves were used to mine for blood crystals for cultivation. "Well I'm going to go look for neat stuff so enjoy your diplomatic trip." I tell Nie li before walking off with Ning'er. He just shrugs he is stronger than almost anyone in this realm so I can let him do whatever. Both him and ziyun fly off to meet with the n.o.bles and discuss their freedom on some conditions.
Me and Ning'er walk towards the biggest village having a happy chat. She was curious about all my adventures to different worlds and wanted to know more about me.
She had been talking a lot with the other girls who lived with us she was super jealous at first but then started to get along well with them.
Along the way we stumble across a man mumbling madly to himself. If I remember he is a disciple of some emperor and will later on have to fight against Nie li. I just leave him alone as it's not my business.
We finally make our way to the pretty much empty village. I had taken most of the people I mean I could have stolen everything from the shops as well but. That's a bit rude. So I was going to offer them tons of cheap junk elixirs and trade for them fairly.
