The house Quan Chao had prepared for Lu Ming was located in the affluent area of the city.
The environment here was tranquil, and the security was good. The population density was lower, and it was relatively quiet.
As Lu Ming entered the house, he saw Quan Chao coming towards him.
There was a slight look of embarrassment on the face of this Flamestone Clan member. As soon as he saw Lu Ming, he immediately knelt down in front of him.
This made Lu Ming hurriedly help Quan Chao up and asked, “What are you doing?”
Quan Chao’s eyes turned red on the spot.
“I’ve let you down, my lord.”
After Quan Chao explained everything, Lu Ming learned what exactly Quan Chao felt guilty about.
The Land God Association had been taken over as well…
Hao Huang and the Queen Blade had been in Archean City for over a week. Although these two seemed to be idle every day, in fact, they had already inquired about every aspect of the Archean City.
Although Roda was the City Lord of Archean City, he was not the actual ruler.
The Land God Association was the actual ruler of Archean City.
And today, with the arrival of the Giant Clan army in Archean City, the Land God Association could not escape the clutches of the Giant Clan and the Insect Clan.
“The Land God Association was taken down by a commander of the Giant Clan army. I haven’t fought against him, but he took the Land God Association away from me.”
As Quan Chao spoke, he sighed grievously and helplessly.
That Giant Clan member was at Level Eight of the Spirit Realm, and his strength was not inferior to Li De.
As for the Land God Association that was established by Quan Chao, it was forcefully formed with the strength of the Spirit Realm.
Now that a stronger individual had appeared, the Land God Association collapsed at an alarming rate.
Coupled with the fact that the commander had the support of the Giant Clan army…
In short, Quan Chao did not even dare to utter harsh words and slunk back to Lu Ming’s side dejectedly.
When Lu Ming heard this, he patted Quan Chao’s shoulder and comforted him, “As long as you’re safe, that’s what matters. As for the Land God Association, if it’s lost, so be it.”
The original Land God Association did indeed have great usefulness.
But that was before the Giant Clan and the Insect Clan arrived.
After the two clans settled in Archean City, how could they allow an Eternal Clan member like him to be the City Lord? How could they allow a gang to manage the city?
In the face of absolute power, any resistance would be futile and in vain.
Lu Ming himself had no intention of resisting.
It would be foolish to go against the Giant Clan and the Insect Clan for the sake of an insignificant Archean City.
“In short, stay here for a while. After 1 finish my closed-door cultivation, you can leave the Archean City with us and head to the Eternal Clan.”
Lu Ming decided to bring Quan Chao along.
This was because this person had helped him in many ways. Not to mention anything else, Lu Ming had to pull him away from Archean City, a powder keg that was about to explode. Lu Ming felt that he had to do something for him.
As for their relationship in the future… that would have to be decided later.
Quan Chao was grateful on the spot and was about to kneel down again when Lu Ming pulled him up.
“Have you prepared enough food and Flamestones?”
Quan Chao nodded and said, “Everything is ready, I’ve prepared according to your request, Mr. Lu, three times the amount you asked for.”
Lu Ming nodded.
“That should be enough.”
The Hundred Thousand Mountains stretched endlessly.
According to what the explorers in Archean City had always said, the Hundred Thousand Mountains could be roughly divided into three levels: the periphery, the inner circle, and the core.
At the periphery level, at most, there would be Spirit Realm exotic beasts.
In the inner circle, Source Realm exotic beasts would appear.
The more dangerous core area was the nest of Ancient Realm exotic beasts. It was too dangerous here, so no one set foot here. Even the old man He Qing would detour around the core area when returning to the Eternal Clan.
Not because they could not defeat the Ancient Realm exotic beasts, but there was simply no need to do so.
And today.
The rarely visited core region of the Hundred Thousand Mountains welcomed unexpected guests.
There were two of them.
“This is it.”
Esek, the name of the Undead, smiled and said, “This place is located on the edge of the core region of the Hundred Thousand Mountains. It is a secret base left behind by the ancestral god before he achieved godhood.”
With that, Esek pondered briefly and continued, “And inside this place, we have a gift for you, from our Undead Clan.”
As Esek spoke respectfully, a voice that couldn’t be discerned as male or female emanated from his side.
“First of all, I want to thank you for your gift… but there’s a problem.”
“Why are you giving me a gift?”
“In theory, we should be enemies, right?”
“Moreover, 1 have made an agreement with the Giant Clan and the Insect Clan that I would definitely not cooperate with other races…”
The one speaking was the humanoid creature formed by the Mother Tree.
At this moment, there was also a light red grass-sized sapling growing on the head of this human-headed monster.
The voice came from within the sapling’s body.
With that said, the clone of the mother tree continued, “Let me make this clear first. Regardless of how much you give me, I won’t abandon the Giant Clan and the Insect Clan to cooperate with you.”
The cooperation between the Mother Tree and the Giant Clan and the Insect Clan had been pleasant.
Whatever it wanted, the two clans provided, so there was really no need for betrayal.
Although it had been invited this time, it had no intention of changing its course.
To put it bluntly, it just wanted to see what kind of plans the Undead Clan had in mind with this invitation.
After hearing this, Esek just smiled faintly.
“I have no intention of making you change your mind, Lady Mother Tree.”
As he spoke, Esek’s voice suddenly became deeper.
“I just think you have a lot of potential, so I want to give you an opportunity…”
A faint golden light rippled from Esek’s eyes.
A tremendous and even more terrifying power, far surpassing any creature the Mother Tree had ever encountered, flashed through Esek’s body.
Trembling.
Panic.
And enlightenment!
“You are…” The sapling stammered and received a clear answer. “Zero, you can call me Zero. Or you can call me by my code name, which is Corpse God…”
It could be clearly seen that Esek’s body was slowly straightening.
Although it no longer emitted any pressure, the Mother Tree’s perception of him was completely different from before!
It was grand and mysterious!
Turning around and looking at the Mother Tree’s avatar, the guy called Esek, who was actually the Corpse God, smiled and patted the Mother Tree’s shoulder. “It’s just a simple trick to project my will into the minds of my subordinates. And don’t panic, this projection won’t project any power. The me standing in front of you is just at the Source Realm.”
“Moreover, I think that even if I were to lose this avatar, it wouldn’t matter much to you, would it?”
The Mother Tree was indeed startled.
But after Zero’s words, the Mother Tree regained its composure.
That’s true, what’s there to fear when my avatar isn’t afraid of death and faces a so-called deity?
Of course, the appropriate respect should still be shown.
“So, Lord Corpse God, what exactly is the opportunity you want to give me?”
The Mother Tree said respectfully and Zero’s voice sounded again.
“It’s inside.”
He waved his hand and the mountain in front of them began to blur mysteriously. Soon, a hidden cave appeared in front of the two.
Zero started walking inside and motioned for the Mother Tree to follow.
“Follow me!”
