Chapter 889: I’ll Invest In You (I)
Irritated mental strength erupted after the visitors left the underground palace.
“How dare a bunch of ants haggle with this seat!”
The Skystar King didn’t say a word. If they are ants, then my Jiang family is pretty much the same. He kept these words to himself and didn’t voice them aloud. It would be difficult to escape the grasp of the plant spirits after the second awakening, but even more difficult to do so prior to the second awakening. Everything was too hard in this age. Plant spirits were king.
However, it felt much better to think that everyone was in the same straits.
As for Li Hao... the Skystar King didn’t know how the young man had reached an accord with the plant spirits. Three thousand stones for one drop of Water of Life was an incredible rate. How had he done it?
If the old Skystar King could make use of this opportunity to gain full control over Skystar Town... then their family might not lack these resources in the future. That would be most ideal!
The Jiangs would swiftly grow stronger after this incident. Everything would be completely different after they took full control of Skystar Town. As for the plant spirits, their help was needed for the moment. Their help would still be needed even with an abundance of mysterious power stones. After all, the world belonged to humanity, did it not?
It wouldn’t matter if there was an extra emperor emeritus installed.
......
Just as all sides reached an accord in the royal palace, Li Hao swiftly dashed to Silver Moon. He busily took stock of his inventory along the way. There were only fifteen thousand drops of Water of Life after killing five plant spirits. That wasn’t much. Combined with what he already had before, that made for twenty-five thousand drops. The jug was almost full to the brim.
And while the five plant spirits were of the Immortal level, they were much weaker than that cultivation strength. Any core origin energy they had left entered Panther’s stomach. Though they killed so many people, the group only collected sixty million mysterious power stones. That wasn’t a lot. Li Hao was rather regretful that he gained so little after killing so many City of Supernaturals heavyweights!
Granted, it was nice that Panther, the jujube tree, redwood tree, Deputy Zhou, and the little sword were full. At the moment, Li Hao only had Panther by his side. The dog yawned lazily, wanting to sleep. It was too full as it’d eaten too much!
The black dog was a weird one. It didn’t need Li Hao’s protection as it wasn’t weak. In fact, it might be stronger than the young man, but its strength was concentrated in its blood. Only when it burned its blood could it erupt with greater strength. Otherwise, it was only a mediocre peak six elements in regular times.
That meant that the void didn’t attack the dog, leaving a great deal of freedom for Panther’s movements. It would have to stay in the ruins if that wasn’t the case.
“Panth, who do you think I should revive this time? Should I switch to another city, like the main city of the Zhaos?” Li Hao hesitated over his next course of action. If he revitalized another entity in Battle Heaven, then that city’s strength would swiftly reach infallible heights. It might grow out of his control. Although Battle Heaven had given him a lot of aid, he felt that he couldn’t fully rely on that ancient city.
That would be too dangerous!
His thoughts had always been focused on helping Battle Heaven recover. But at some unknown point, Li Hao had started having his own plans in mind instead.
“Arf arf arf!”
“You also think that we can’t put all of our eggs in one basket, right?”
General Pagoda was also confused. What was Li Hao doing here again?
The young man had just set foot into the city and boomed heartily in a loud voice, “Seniors, I have come to see you!”
Everyone inside the city, whether they were working, hibernating, or cultivating, looked outside. Some did so with resignation, others with jubilation. Zhang Liang of Military Supplies, for example, would’ve been grinning from ear to ear had he possessed a face.
My dearest Commander Li is here!
He’d been promoted yesterday according to wartime regulations. The plant spirit and city guardian had approved him to be the commissioner of Military Supplies. Even though his promotion was nothing more than changing his armor to a golden color and gaining a nominal title, it was enough.
He’d accomplished in death what he hadn’t been able to in life, how was he not elated? If it wasn’t for the fact that he needed to hold down the fort at Military Supplies, he’d want to rush out to welcome his adorable, lovable Commander Li.
......
General Pagoda’s figure wavered into view as he managed to pull a smile. “The Eleventh Division leader has returned.”
“Greetings to General Pagoda!” A joyous Li Hao inclined his head as if he was a patrolling officer. The general didn’t know what to say. “Please visit Battle Heaven in a bit, general. I have great matters to announce. We need to hold a small meeting.”
“......”
You? Hold a meeting? What meeting? When did it become your turn to hold a meeting in Battle Heaven? How do you command enough dignity to?
As much as he dismissed the young man, the old tree was shrewd in its old age. It’d also inherited some of its ancestor and companion emperor’s shamelessness, so it hid all of these words in its heart.
“Then... alright.”
“Mmhmm, I’ll have to trouble the general to make a trip then!” Li Hao walked away, chuckling. “I’ll head to the city first.”
The general laughed as he watched the old man saunter off. The young were full of energy, alright! The rest of them had grown old!
......
The city gates.
Li Hao called out to the three troop leaders. “Troop leaders, head to the city lord manor in a bit for a meeting!”
The three looked at each other. A meeting? What meeting? We’ve been dead for countless years and even get our missions through our armor. Since when did we need to hold meetings?
Li Hao ignored them and continued marching off.
