Chapter 620: Only Those With Morals Should Have It
‘I knew it. Saber Jin Wanhao is a boss-level person who doesn’t lose to the Vortex at all!
‘He pretended to be heavily injured and dying. After fooling everyone that he was struggling to live, he built this huge secret lab under Golden Tooth’s headquarters. Yet in truth, he hid here to carry out evil, inhuman experiments!
‘Even though I don’t know what his goals are, based on the information, the superhumans he tortured to death were at least at the peak of Earth Realm. A few of them were even at Heaven Realm!
‘If he sacrificed so many powerful people, Saber Jin Wanhao is definitely targeting something major. Thank goodness his scheme clashed with the Vortex’s scheme, so both sides got heavily wounded. Otherwise, I don’t know what sort of trouble this Underground Emperor would have caused!
‘And there’s also A’Ji. He appeared here for some weird reason, and he can even execute Saber Jin Wanhao’s unique skill, Celestial Tyrant’s Star Shattering Slash. There is also that mysterious X-shaped eye on his chest. He also seems to have a strange connection to the bubble messenger that popped up from the Vortex’s carcass. He’s definitely not some good person.
“After the explosion in Leprosy Village, he had sneakily appeared beside me. What is he planning?’
These thoughts appeared in Meng Chao’s mind like lightning, so he would not untie A’Ji so easily.
He was already showing mercy on behalf of A’Ji’s thin body by not immediately crushing his joints and spine.
When A’Ji saw Meng Chao and Lu Siya bring out the information and pictures, he knew that luck was no longer on his side.
With a face full of regret, he grunted and shut his mouth.
“We have to heal our wounds. We’ll ask him for answers later,” Lu Siya said. “In any case, the medical cabin is big enough. It can fit both of us inside. Let’s go in together. We can also stimulate our vitality magnetic fields.”
When two superhumans’ vitality magnetic fields fluctuated at a similar rate, they would create something similar to resonance and provide benefits in terms of stimulating blood circulation, increasing metabolism rate, and increasing circulation of spirit energy.
Meng Chao and Lu Siya had both been refined by Red Radiance Jades and Blue Origin Crystals before. Their vitality fluctuations were at the same frequency. They could boost each other’s vitality magnetic fields and blend together perfectly.
Before this, they had cultivated together plenty of times. Their vitality magnetic fields clashed against each other, and their efficiency was much higher than when they trained alone.
Even though they had never soaked in a medical cabin together before, to restore their fighting strength as soon as possible, that was nothing.
“True. We have to recover our fighting strength as soon as possible to clean up the mess around us.”
Meng Chao supported Lu Siya’s idea, and they went into the medical cabin together.
The lair would not regain its peace and order just because they killed the Vortex.
Forget about whether the monster civilization had other ambushers aside from the Vortex, the secret lab they discovered by accident alone was already a troublesome matter covered in spikes.
Originally, Meng Chao and Lu Siya should have immediately run out to request for help or even opened the doors from inside to appear in Golden Tooth’s headquarters.
However, Golden Tooth was now without a leader. Song Jinbo was doing his best to control the situation, but he was not strong physically.
To take the authority of Golden Tooth and ensure that the strongest gang in the past would not crumble to pieces, Song Jinbo had already signed a few secret agreements with Meng Chao.
The problem was, there were just too many cultivation resources in the secret lab.
There were thousands of materials, gene medicines, and high-calorie nutritional fluids that money could not buy. They were also items Saber Jin Wanhao had gathered with his life’s blood, sweat, and tears. Even if Meng Chao, Lu Siya, A’Ji, and the Vortex destroyed quite a lot of them during the battle, the total value of what remained was still worth the stars.
If the Underground Emperor’s treasure trove was discovered by the gangs, it would be the same as tossing a fragrant and greasy smoked piece of lamb into a clan of hyenas. No one could imagine just what sort of crazy things those hyenas would do.
After Golden Tooth lost Saber Jin Wanhao’s protection, it would definitely be unable to protect this treasure trove.
And for those who were weak, being in possession of gold was a crime in itself. The current Golden Tooth could not bear such a huge crime.
Meanwhile, Black Bone, Poison Scorpion, and the other forces of power would likely descend into internal conflict for the sake of fighting over this treasure. The monster civilization might then discover it and use it to their advantage again.
This was very likely to happen.
At the end of the day, when treasure suddenly appeared, only those with morals should have it.
And people like Phantom Bear Xiong Wei did not look like people with good morals.
If the cultivation treasures ended up in the hands of people like him, they would just end up as incendiary fuel for them to live in luxury, and they would claim all of it for their own. It would be a huge waste and a major crime.
But who in Dragon City was moral?
Of course it was Meng Chao, the passionate, just, kindhearted person who had long since removed himself from low-grade interests and did not have any other interests other than serving Dragon City!
For the sake of helping millions of his comrades, countless people’s homes, and Earth’s brilliant civilization to completely crush the fate of being destroyed during the apocalypse, Meng Chao had the duty of seizing all of the Underground Emperor’s inheritance!
Also, they could not spread the fact that Saber Jin Wanhao carried out inhumane and evil experiments carelessly.
As the master of the lair, Jin Wanhao did not just represent Golden Tooth, but also the whole lair.
If the lair citizens got to know that their guardian god was a demon in human skin during such chaotic times, they would figure out even more ugly truths through other clues.
This would create a lot of other troubles when trying to providing relief to the lair and its reconstruction.
Hence, Meng Chao and Lu Siya decided to clear up the mess and recover their fighting strength before prying more information from A’Ji. The best case scenario would be that once they had a full plan, Dragon City would have won the battle at the borders of Dragon City, so they could report it to the government.
Now, they should only focus on one thing: Healing!
“Hiss!”
Meng Chao went into the high-calorie nutritional fluid that was as thick as milk but glowed in a seven-colored light until only his head could be seen.
He could sense all his blood vessels, nerves, and spirit meridians growing as quickly as shoots after a rain. His flesh became stronger with every passing second, and his crystalline cells started dancing in his blood vessels.
He swayed his head in comfort and grunted. He could not help but say, “Big Sis Ya, the supreme elites in the nine cultivation families enjoy such cultivation treatments too, right?”
“How could they possibly enjoy such lavish treatment?”
Lu Siya only had her head above the liquid as well. A charming red colored her cheeks. Clearly, she also felt refreshed, and her entire body was in a state of comfort. She was completely different from when she was severely injured and had no color on her face just moments ago.
“Did you know that all the materials you put in the medical cabin just now came from Apocalyptic Beasts? Even the nine great cultivation families can’t hunt Apocalyptic Beasts every day, and it’s also impossible for us to be so spendthrift as to use Apocalyptic Beasts’ materials to make medicine to soak ourselves in it!”
The Queen Bee was in a good mood. She stuck out her tongue, which was something rare for her to do. “If my father and grandfather saw me spend supreme-grade materials as lavishly as this, they would definitely beat me to death!”
“No matter how good the quality of a material is, it’s for people to use. We’re both heavily injured, so we have to rely on these materials to recover swiftly!” Meng Chao said with a grin. “Big Sis Ya, don’t worry and just absorb as well as cultivate here. Once we finish the medicine, I’ll make a new batch. Anyway, we have plenty of supreme-grade materials!”
Lu Siya was not a woman who knew how to hold herself back.
Greed was engraved in her gene chain.
All the words she said were just polite words for Meng Chao, and even though she said them, she did not bother to hold herself back in the slightest.
The Queen Bee’s pores opened up slightly, and every drop of blood and even her cells turned into hungry beasts that absorbed the rich spirit energy in the medical cabin.
Meng Chao naturally would not bother to be modest in front of Lu Siya, either.
Both of them were like two high-power water pumps that started sucking the spirit energy.
The originally thick and crystalline medicine swiftly became thin and transparent.
The light that shone with a metallic and gem- and pearl-like gleam moved into their skin.
When they were filled with spirit energy, circles of profound, complicated spirit tattoos appeared on their skin. The spirit tattoos looked like they possessed life of their own and attracted, surrounded, and connected with each other, causing their vitality magnetic fields to perfectly blend together. As they resonated with each other, they created a cultivation effect that was greater than 200% of what they usually experienced.
Soon, they absorbed all the medicine created by a whole tub of supreme-grade materials.
Meng Chao let out a satisfied burp.
“I’ll make another tub.” Meng Chao stretched. Then, he thought about something. “Forget it. There’s no need to go through such trouble. I saw that Saber Jin Wanhao had more than one hundred vials of Raging Dragon Blood stored here. It might not be as strong as Hell’s Blood, but there is a lot of it. If I pour all of them out and soak in them, the effect will be about the same.”
A’Ji watched them absorb the medicine and cultivate as if there was no one around them, and he glared so fiercely that it looked like he wanted to kill them.
When he heard that Meng Chao wanted to spend more than one hundred Raging Dragon Blood in one go, he was so angry that all his blood was about to gush out of his pores.
He struggled so much that the chains let out clanking sounds.
After shaking for a long time, he attracted Meng Chao’s attention.
“Do you have something to say?” Meng Chao climbed out of the medical cabin and squatted in front of A’Ji. He said nonchalantly, “Honestly, even if you say nothing, it’s fine. In any case, the evidence of Saber Jin Wanhao’s crimes is here. At most, we’ll just end up spending a little more time, but we’ll definitely be able to figure out the truth.
“I just find it a pity for your fighting strength.
“You managed to use Celestial Tyrant’s Star Shattering Slash with your frail nine-year-old body. No matter how you did it, it still shows that you’re a rare martial arts genius.
“Since you’re a martial arts genius, if you walked down the right path, you would be able to set up your own foundation in Dragon City and gain achievements so that you would become a hero that everyone respects.
“But unfortunately, we don’t even need to talk about what sort of connection you have with this underground grotto. We only need to focus on your arms. They were practically crushed by the rebound of Celestial Tyrant’s Star Shattering Slash. If you don’t get into the medical cabin and get treated like us, even if you manage to survive, you’ll become disabled and can forget about using Celestial Tyrant’s Star Shattering Slash again!”
Meng Chao’s words caused A’Ji’s eyelashes and the muscles on his face to twitch violently, as if he had heard the worst prediction in the world.
The enigmatic, silver-eyed boy was conflicted for a long time before he finally spoke.
“This matter isn’t as you think it is,” he hissed.
