Chapter 550: Chapter 550: The Dagger is Revealed

Master Meida pondered for a moment, then said, "Forget it. Our top priority is still to get that treasure. We absolutely cannot have any accidents before then."

The Liszt Clan had dispatched a Spirit Saint Level expert like Master Meida this time because they had an incredibly important objective. Otherwise, a caravan to an Otherworld like this would, at most, be led by a Grandmaster or a Spirit Venerable Level expert.

Although Master Meida was quite lecherous, he was also a very rational man who would never let himself be distracted by women at a time like this. After all, the Liszt Clan offered him a variety of beautiful women as tribute every year.

Ankalei said, "Yes, Master Meida!"

After passing through numerous inspections, the massive caravan finally went through the city gates and entered the Erosion Realm.

Having just entered about ten kilometers into the Erosion Realm, a Black Dog Void Demon Group of about five hundred immediately launched an attack on the caravan.

The caravan was filled with experts. The moment the Black Dog Void Demon Group attacked, it was blasted to smithereens by flashes from various Spiritual Spears, leaving behind countless corpses.

For the next three days, the caravan traveled along safe roads. Almost every day, they were attacked by various Low-Level Demons from the Erosion Realm. These Low-Level Demons were all easily taken care of by the experts in the caravan.

「The fourth day.」

’Wrong location. We’ve deviated from the safe route. Is this a new route, or does this caravan have some other scheme?’

Shu Feng’s brow furrowed slightly as he watched the caravan deviate from the safe route, and he was lost in thought.

There was a public safe route leading from the City of Dreams to the Andoras World, and traveling on it was relatively safe. On a typical year, only a few thousand people would die on the safe route, and just a few dozen caravans would be completely wiped out.

But taking other routes was fraught with danger. With the slightest misstep, even Spirit Saint Level experts could perish.

Of course, the top conglomerates of the Jiasen Republic might possess even safer routes, but those were essentially the closely guarded secrets of each major family.

Kapis came over to Shu Feng, her face etched with worry. "This is bad! It looks like we’ve strayed from the safe route. This is very bad!"

Over the past few days, Kapis was the only one who regularly came to speak with Shu Feng. She had come to see him as a friend.

Shu Feng asked, "Haven’t your two good friends noticed?"

Kapis said, full of anxiety, "That fool, Zhu Li, is completely infatuated with Ankalei. Lena has noticed something’s wrong, but she doesn’t dare say anything! If this is a special, secret route controlled by the Liszt Clan, they’ll definitely kill us to keep it a secret. If they’re on some special mission, they’ll still kill us to silence us. This is really bad!"

Shu Feng gave Kapis a surprised look. He had assumed she was just a beautiful woman who was all looks and no brains, but he never expected her to be so sharp, able to see the heart of the matter at a glance.

Kapis shot Shu Feng a look. "You thought I was just some bimbo, didn’t you? All you men are the same, always judging by appearances. In fact, I’m very smart. I’m fluent in six languages, I have a patented invention, and I’m the chairman of a company with assets over a hundred million. I built that company from ten million in allowance money."

"Impressive!" Shu Feng praised.

Even among the heirs of the great conglomerates, anyone who could turn ten million into a company worth over a hundred million was truly the best of the best.

Kapis sent him a telepathic message. "We’re being watched! It’s impossible for us to leave normally now. Lena already tried to probe the situation, but Ankalei shut her down. When the critical moment comes, we’re planning to escape the caravan. Do you want to join us?"

Shu Feng thought for a moment before replying, "Alright."

Kapis was a cheerful, generous, and enthusiastic girl who genuinely treated Shu Feng as a friend. Shu Feng didn’t mind lending her a small hand.

Kapis transmitted again, "What are your Abilities? Just a general idea is fine, so we can coordinate at the critical moment."

Shu Feng sent back, "I can use Summoning Technique. I also have a mastery of Fighting Art, and my Spirit Spear Technique is decent."

"Fighting Art?"

Kapis looked Shu Feng up and down, a flicker of doubt in her beautiful eyes.

The experts in the Jiasen Republic who had mastered Fighting Art were all tall and powerfully built, with arms as thick as tree trunks. Shu Feng, with his average build, didn’t look at all like a master of Fighting Art.

After traveling for another four days off the safe route, a hundred-meter-tall Golden Ancient City, which looked as if it were carved entirely from gold, suddenly materialized before everyone’s eyes.

"A Golden Ancient City!! We’ve struck it rich!!"

"There’s actually a Golden Ancient City here! We’re rich!"

"..."

The dozens of Spiritualists traveling with the Liszt Clan’s caravan felt a flash of excitement in their eyes as they gazed upon the vast Golden Ancient City in the distance, which appeared to be carved from solid gold.

Gold was incredibly expensive on Blue Star, and its price was continually climbing. If that Golden Ancient City was truly made of Gold, its value would be simply immeasurable.

Kapis’s face went pale. She transmitted to Shu Feng, "We’re finished! They’re going to silence us!"

Lena’s face also paled slightly.

The allure of wealth is irresistible. The value of that Golden Ancient City probably surpassed the entire assets of even a tenth-rank conglomerate. Even if the Liszt Clan hadn’t planned to kill everyone for their silence before, they would definitely have that thought now that the Golden Ancient City had appeared.

Shu Feng’s eyes lit up, and the corner of his mouth curled into a slight smile. ’Looks like my luck is pretty good!’

"Young Master Ankalei, my brothers and I wish to withdraw. Goodbye!"

A highly vigilant five-man team among the Adventurers spoke up directly.

Ankalei’s expression turned cold as he said icily, "Lucas, if you withdraw, you won’t be getting your money back."

"We know the rules. We don’t want the money! Goodbye! We’re out of here!"

A hint of fear flashed in the eyes of the burly, dark-skinned man leading them. Leaving those words behind, he and his four companions took off, flying into the distance.

"Such a clever fellow. It’s a shame, really. The smarter they are, the faster they die. Do it!"

Ankalei sighed softly and waved his hand.

In an instant, beams of light from all kinds of Spiritual Spears rained down upon Lucas and the other four Adventurers.

Lucas and the other four experts erupted with the terrifying aura of the Spirit Sect Level, unleashing various Skills as they tried to flee in every direction.

Lucas’s four companions were quickly blown apart by the various beams. Lucas himself, however, seemed to teleport, making bizarre five-meter leaps to evade the bombardment of Spiritual Light Beams as he fled desperately into the distance.

"Shadow Hand!"

A terrifying Spiritual Pressure at the Spirit Saint Level erupted. From within a shadow behind Lucas, a large hand shot out, grabbed him by the neck, and with a powerful squeeze, crushed his head completely.
