Chapter 1165 - Insect Ancestor (2/2)

Other experts of the Eight Silk Island could only suppress their fury when they heard that.

“Since we do not know his identity, it is practically similar to finding a needle in haystacks. Count him lucky.”

“He is definitely afraid of offending Island Master, which was why he did not dare to reveal his identity.”

Everyone added on.

Eight Silk Island Master sneered. He squinted his eyes, suppressing the bubbling cold killing intent in him. Previously when he saw the scene through the Heaven Observation Mirror, he saw how Xue Ying acted. That move of his created several hundred cracks that filled almost the entire sky above Elegant Peace Valley City, killing all his subordinates. With such a huge area of effect and such a great power, Eight Silk Island Master understood–that was a formidable opponent!

‘I shall just take it as my misfortune.’ Eight Silk Island Master thought.

He had many subordinates, and this time, he merely sent a team out.

“Island Master, I have stayed for a long time over at your place. It is also time for me to make my move.” Insect Ancestor stood.

Xue Ying calmly meditated within the Flying Snow City. A year later, Southern Cloud King finished gathering all materials written on the second scroll Xue Ying gave him.

That time, the first scroll Xue Ying gave were all precious materials required to refine the Chaotic Origin Weapon–excluding the ‘Chaotic Origin Sand’. Even though it was easier to gather them, that was when compared to gathering the Chaotic Origin Sand. With the intelligence network of Southern Cloud King, it would likely require a slightly longer time to gather them.

As for the second set of scrolls, the materials written were comparatively more low-end. Even though it cost 100 billion cosmos crystals too, the reason was due to ‘large amounts’! As for how precious these materials were, they were much cheaper by an entire level as compared to those listed on the first scroll.

“So fast?” The avatar Xue Ying left behind in the Southern Cloud Capital received the storage wristband passed over by his teacher. He checked through the voluminous amount of materials in it. Even though they were low-end, the amount was huge! And his teacher took just a year to gather them? This exceeded what Xue Ying expected.

Southern Cloud King laughed: “Xue Ying, you are planning on re-fortifying your entire Flying Snow City?”

“Yes.” Xue Ying nodded, “Teacher, how do you know?”

“Haha, you should know that I could fight against unparalleled existences within the Southern Cloud Capital.” Southern Cloud King smiled, “Why was that? It’s because the entire city is filled with many arrays. A single unit of strength could be augmented until it reaches a hundred to a thousand units of combat strength. Only then could I fight against unparalleled existences! And all the materials which you need are some of the materials which I had used to fortify the capital royal palace. That time, I collected a lot of them, and still have plenty leftover. And I know where to search for those that I lacked. That was why I could gather them so quickly for you.”

Xue Ying laughed.

“Right, Teacher, that time when you re-constructed the capital royal palace, it should be more expensive than what I spent right?” Xue Ying asked.

“Approximately ten times yours.” Southern Cloud King sighed, “I felt heart ached from that as I pawned almost all my treasures.”

Xue Ying was dumbstruck.

Ten times?

His materials cost about 100 billion cosmos crystals, and he felt he was quite willing to spend already. It was also because Xue Ying had taken the top-graded weapon of Black Sovereign King out to be exchanged! And the price his teacher spent in fortifying the capital was actually ten times that! In other words, several top-graded secret treasures! He was indeed the most wealthy Paragon Master in the world. Even Great Paragon Fuyi and Sky-Rending Great Paragon were tossed far behind by him.

“Why are you planning on fortifying this city?” Southern Cloud King looked at Xue Ying.

“To prevent any unforeseen circumstances.” Xue Ying answered, “Even though I usually handle matters carefully without revealing my identity, but with my journey of killing all devils, I believe that I would offend many huge devils one day! Who knows one day if I might reveal my identity, implicating the Ying Shan Clan as a result. Hence, I have to prepare for rainy days.”

Southern Cloud King softly nodded.

Since his disciple chose to stand out for the weak, there would naturally be typhoons and storms inundating his way.

“Tell me if you need my help.” Southern Cloud King added.

“Teacher has already given me a lot of help.” Xue Ying laughed.

…

That day, he began reconstructing the core Monarch Residence in the entire Flying Snow City. He had more than 10,000 avatars. Even though the other avatars were very weak, it was sufficient for them to carry out such menial tasks.

Only after fortifying Flying Snow City into an invulnerable place did Xue Ying let go of his worries.
