Chapter 2620 - 2620 Han Fei"s Plan in Advance (2 in 1)
2620 Han Fei’s Plan in Advance (2 in 1)
Han Fei didn’t send Zhang Daqian here just to kill Zhang Beihai. Killing Zhang Beihai would only alert the enemy.
Even if he wanted to kill Zhang Beihai, he couldn’t do it now. This time, Zhang Beihai had paid such a high price, set up a trap for so long, and launched a super counterattack, showing the world how powerful the City of Scavengers was.
Then, from today on, the strength of the City of Scavengers would refresh the understanding of other factions in the Infinite Mining Area, and its status would probably change.
But who would have thought that Han Fei had already taken advantage of Zhang Beihai’s actions?
Because Zhang Beihai’s realm was higher than his, he couldn’t take him into his Origin Star yet, so he could only set up a large array on the spot and refine Zhang Beihai into a living dead puppet.
!!
The reason why he refined him into a living dead puppet was that it was refined faster. Compared to a living dead puppet, the effect of the Soul Controlling Law Seal was actually better. This was because to refine a living dead puppet, one had to cut off part of their soul and put it into the other party’s soul, but the Soul Controlling Law Seal didn’t need it.
Therefore, if he only wanted to turn one or two people into puppets, the effect would be faster with the Art of Living Dead Puppet. But if he wanted to refine many people of a race into puppets in large numbers, the effect of the Soul Controlling Law Seal would far exceed that of the Art of Living Dead Puppet.
This time, Han Fei had gained a lot.
Among them, the dark green scales were called Heaven and Earth Scales, which were an authentic Spiritual Treasure of Heaven and Earth. However, they were still much weaker than the Star Sea Mystic Sand.
Also, the sword of runes could pierce other people’s souls. It was a remarkable ultra-quality G.o.dly weapon.
Also, the hundreds of golden rings that Zhang Beihai used to fight w.a.n.g Yan were also ultra-quality G.o.dly weapons called the Hundred Battle Heavenly Rings.
Lastly, there was the super black hole that Zhang Beihai had used in the super-mine area. This was a Dao Devouring Divine Technique, which could absorb and guide other people’s Great Dao. Within the range of this technique, it could greatly weaken the enemy.
This time, Han Fei gained the most since he started to rob. One Spiritual Treasure of Heaven and Earth, two ultra-quality G.o.dly weapons, and a divine technique, they were invaluable.
However, Han Fei only copied the Dao-Devouring Technique and didn’t take any other weapons with him. Zhang Beihai was still useful, and he needed these weapons to protect himself. That way, he would still be the incomparably powerful Zhang Beihai.
Anyway, those things would belong to him sooner or later, so he wasn’t in a hurry. Besides, he wasn’t in a hurry to use them now. In terms of treasures, the Star Sea Mystic Sand surpa.s.sed the Heaven and Earth Scales. In terms of weapons, the G.o.d Sealing Spear was comparable to the sword of runes. Although the Hundred Battle Heavenly Rings was good, it was too unique. Once he used it, people would definitely a.s.sociate it with Zhang Beihai, so it didn’t make much sense to keep it with him.
Half a day later.
The battle for the mines of the City of Scavengers had basically come to an end.
At the beginning of the war, the small mine battlefield in the City of Scavengers almost completely collapsed. In dozens of small mines, there were hundreds of Sky Opening realm cultivators, but no more than thirty survived. And as many as 80,000 Sea Establishers were killed or abducted.
Of course, not all of these 80,000 people were from the Ten Thousand Scale Race. There were also many primitive tribes near the Infinite Mining Area and other cultivators who later joined the City of Scavengers.
Sea Establishers could only survive in the Infinite Mining Areas by relying on powerful factions. So basically, the top 100 factions had many Sea Establishers attached to them.
However, when the news that the invaders into the super-mine area had all been killed spread out, and when many peak-level late-stage Star Transformation Realm or even perfected Star Transformation Realm cultivators from the City of Scavengers suddenly appeared in the large mine area, the City of Scavengers’s counterattack began.
In just half a day, as many as 70 Sky Opening Realm invaders had been killed. This battle had really frightened many invaders.
However, they were only frightened, not to the point of surrender.
It wasn’t until Zhang Beihai appeared on the battlefield of large mines with w.a.n.g Yan’s remnant body in his hand.
This moment was the sign of true victory for the City of Scavengers.
The puppet Zhang Beihai shouted, “w.a.n.g Yan, a five Lock-level powerhouse from the Grand Development Sect in the City of Scavengers, joined forces with many other forces to invade our City of Scavengers, causing our city to suffer heavy losses. I’m going to kill them as a warning to others. In addition, all the forces partic.i.p.ating in this war of aggression shall return all the losses of our city within three days, and you must pay three times the compensation. Otherwise, you will be our lifelong enemy, and we must try every possible means to kill you.”
Han Fei knew Zhang Beihai’s intentions. He didn’t really want to fight these forces. There were too many forces in the Infinite Mining Area. Even if he was indeed extremely powerful, the Grand Development Sect alone had made it so difficult for the City of Scavengers to tackle. If he really attacked many forces, the City of Scavengers would suffer heavy losses. He wouldn’t be able to explain himself to the City of Scavengers in the Chaotic Wasteland.
Therefore, Zhang Beihai’s original intention was to use this battle to re-establish the strength ranking of the City of Scavengers. In addition, he could obtain more mines, resources, and Sea Establishers.
As for the dead Sky Openers, they were mainly gathered in the small-scale mine area. He had more or less made arrangements for the other mine areas. And half of the Sky Openers in the small-scale mine area were wandering Sky Openers in the Infinite Mining Areas attached to them, and from the Blade Clan, Frogmen Race, and other subsidiary races, and less than one-fifth of them were from the Ten Thousand Scale Race, so Zhang Beihai didn’t care at all.
In the past, when the City of Scavengers ranked higher, there would be people coming to attach to them. This was the strong sucking effect.
Although Zhang Beihai didn’t intend to really attack the major invading forces, they were bound to panic, because they had witnessed the horror of the City of Scavengers.
One of the leaders was shocked. “w.a.n.g Yan is dead? How is it possible? How can w.a.n.g Yan, who is also a master with five Dao Locks, be killed?”
Someone smiled bitterly. “My lord, it’s absolutely true. Not only w.a.n.g Yan, but the four lock-level powerhouses who attacked with w.a.n.g Yan also died. My lord, we underestimated the background and strength of the City of Scavengers!”
The leader looked shocked. “Isn’t the Chaotic Wasteland just a desolate land at the border of the East Sea Divine Realm? I heard that even normal cultivation is impossible there. How can so many strong masters be born there?”
The reporter said, “My lord, what should we do now? Zhang Beihai said that anyone who robs them has to compensate them three times. We’ve s.n.a.t.c.hed three small mines. If…”
“Triple the compensation? Is he crazy? Does he really think he can do whatever he wants just because he destroyed the Grand Development Sect?”
The man was about to refuse, but then he asked, “What about the other forces? What’s their decision?”
The reporter said, “My lord, the Jade Mountain Sect and the Silver Spear Sect were too close to the scavenger camp, so they didn’t dare to refuse the compensation. Not only did they send back all the Sea Establishers they s.n.a.t.c.hed, but they also compensated three times the amount of small mines. I heard that half of the small mines under the Jade Mountain Sect were lost. The Silver Spear Sect s.n.a.t.c.hed two small mines and lost a mid-sized one.”
The leader’s expression changed. Their alliance wasn’t very firm in the first place. Once one of them admitted defeat, it would naturally withdraw from the alliance. Now that the Grand Development Sect was gone and the two other sects had withdrawn, there were only four left.
The strongest of the four forces was only ranked 49th, which was quite a distance away from the City of Scavengers.
Eventually, the leader said, “Fine, compensate them! The City of Scavengers is in the limelight now. If we don’t compensate, they can start a war against us as a matter of course. Once the alliance collapses, the targeted forces will probably be wiped out. Now is not the time to fight over personal feelings. Humph! But no matter how arrogant Zhang Beihai is today, he will be as miserable tomorrow. As the saying goes, fear not of robbery, but fear of thieves coveting him. He swallowed the Grand Development Sect and so many of our forces and mines at the same time. It seems that he has gained a lot, but if he doesn’t have absolute strength to back him up, he will only face stronger enemies.”
Three days later.
Han Fei felt that he had made a fortune.
Now, the power of the City of Scavengers was re-established, and Zhang Beihai’s name resounded throughout the Infinite Mining Area. He fought so many powerhouses alone, killed a cultivator with five Dao Locks, and five with four Dao Locks, and his outstanding achievements were widely publicized by people in the Hundred Alliance City.
At this moment, in the Ten Thousand Scale Race meeting.
Tong Hua reported, “Master Beihai, so far in this battle, we have taken one super mine, two large mines, seven medium-sized mines, and 19 small-sized mines of the Grand Development Sect. In addition, we have taken back all the small-sized mines that were s.n.a.t.c.hed and obtained the compensation of 75 small-sized mines, 6 medium-sized mines, and 3 large-sized mines, as well as 34,508 Sea Establishers. In addition, we have publicly recruited in the Hundred Alliance City. At present, more than 200 Sky Openers intend to join our scavenger camp.”
Tong Hua said with a beaming face, “Master Beihai, although they have all made compensation, they still want to destroy our City of Scavengers. Should we…”
Zhang Beihai, however, shook his head. “If we go back on our word at a time like this, they will immediately be pushed back to form an alliance. Besides, once that happens, they will be unbreakable allies, which is not what I want to see.”
Zhang Beihai, the puppet, tapped the table with his finger and said, “Tong Hua, the ranking of our City of Scavengers will change in the near future, so we need to impose certain restrictions on the strength of recruited cultivators. Those below the star transformation level, don’t come!”
Everyone’s expression changed slightly. But they were in the Sky Opening Realm after all!
Someone said, “Master Beihai, if our recruitment requirements are so high, will it cause us criticism?”
Someone said, “Master Beihai, we now have more than a hundred small mines. If we keep rejecting the strong cultivators below the Star Transformation level, I’m afraid we will be seriously short of manpower!”
Zhang Beihai said casually, “Take out fifty small mines, ten medium mines, and one large mine to auction. Don’t be greedy. We should act according to our abilities.”
Everybody breathed a sigh of relief. They had no problem with the auction, or it would be hard for them to manage so many mines unless a hundred more strong masters were sent over from the Chaotic Wasteland.
After talking about the mines, Zhang Beihai looked at Tong Hua and asked, “Where’s Chen Di?”
This time, a new four Dao Lock-level powerhouse said, “Master Beihai, Chen Di has been imprisoned in the scavenger cage.”
Zhang Beihai: “What’s your name?”
The man said, “I’m Song Qingyun.”
Zhang Beihai nodded. “Very good. From today on, Chen Di’s position will be replaced by you. The large mine area is under your management. You can report to me personally if there’s anything important. Come to report once a month.”
Song Qingyun was overjoyed. This was the first battle since he came out of that place. He didn’t expect to rise so quickly.
Zhang Beihai waved his hand. “Song Qingyun, bring Chen Di to me. As for the others… now there are a lot of things to do in the City of Scavengers, so go about your business!”
…
Chen Di was a traitor to the City of Scavengers. Any faction or race would have traitors.
If it were Zhang Beihai before, he might have executed Chen Di on the spot as a warning to others. Unfortunately, Zhang Beihai had already become Han Fei’s puppet. How could Han Fei waste such a talent?
In Zhang Beihai’s cultivation cave in the Scavengers’ Camp, Chen Di was nailed in thirteen parts of his body by thirteen Dao Annihilation cones.
The moment he saw Zhang Beihai, Chen Di roared, “Zhang Beihai, it’s a pity I couldn’t kill you this time. I, Chen Di, have worked so hard all my life to get where I am today. I’m only one step away from condensing five Dao Locks. I can achieve it as long as I can manage a super mine, but you won’t let me and let Tong Hua replace me. How I hate you…”
Chen Di was so angry that he almost wanted to bite Zhang Beihai to death, eat his flesh, and drink his blood.
Unfortunately, he couldn’t move at all at this moment. He could only roar crazily like an ordinary person.
Zhang Beihai, the puppet, was naturally emotionless. Instead, he said casually, “It seems that you really hate me! Tsk, tsk. This is the first time I’ve seen a strong master of the Ten Thousand Scale Race hate his own people. It can only be said that the peak of strength is more likely to breed inner demons. Unfortunately, even if your plan succeeds, you may be able to condense five Dao Locks, but you won’t be able to prove your Dao.”
Chen Di didn’t feel anything wrong when he heard that. He just said coldly, “As long as I kill you, my Dao heart will be safe.”
At this moment, Chen Di saw a young man walking out from behind Zhang Beihai. He knew him. Wasn’t this Ye Fengliu? Why was he here?
Han Fei walked to Zhang Beihai’s big chair, lay down on it casually, and crossed his legs. “I’m glad to tell you that your plan wasn’t a complete failure. Although w.a.n.g Yan and the others are dead, Zhang Beihai isn’t alive. Do you feel better?”
Chen Di’s pupils were suddenly constricted. “You are not Ye Fengliu. Who are you? What happened to Zhang Beihai?”
Han Fei chuckled. “What’s wrong? He just went one step ahead of you. But it doesn’t matter. You’ll be there soon. I called you over to make you happy. Look, you succeeded. Are you happy?”
However, Chen Di only felt a chill down his spine. It was a kind of fear from the depths of his soul.
There was a reason for him to deal with Zhang Beihai, but Ye Fengliu was from the Chaotic Wastelands! What was his purpose? Besides, he hadn’t even entered the Star Transformation Realm. How could he deal with Zhang Beihai? What did he want?
The unknown was fear, so at this moment, Chen Di couldn’t be excited at all. He was only scared.
Chen Di asked, “What did you do to Zhang Beihai?”
Han Fei shrugged. “Well, I just refined him into a puppet. It’s the first time I’ve had a puppet with five Dao Locks.”
Chen Di was horrified. Zhang Beihai had been refined into a puppet? Who would believe that?
Before Chen Di could think too much, Han Fei said, “Don’t worry. I will also refine you into a puppet. People of the same race should stay together. I believe that after becoming puppets, you will all become my good helpers. Oh, right, the way to refine you and the way to refine him may be different. The way to refine you may be more special, but don’t worry. There won’t be any pain.”
Chen Di s.h.i.+vered. He had never felt so scared. Became a cold puppet after cultivating all his life? He would rather die than become a puppet!
Chen Di struggled and roared, “Kill me! I’d rather die! Why do you have to do such a dirty thing?”
Han Fei said leisurely, “My business is not dirty at all. I will use your body to study your Ten Thousand Scale Race. I will develop a technique that can quickly control your Ten Thousand Scale Race. I will turn each of you into a puppet, and I will make them all become traitors like you to resolve the grudge that our human race has held against your Ten Thousand Scale Race for 100,000 years. Well, enough talking. Oh, why am I telling you this…”
Seeing Han Fei walking towards him, Chen Di struggled crazily and shouted in horror, “Who are you? You are a human. How can there be a human being as strong as you? No, your strength is not in the early-stage Star Transformation Realm. You are not Ye Fengliu. Who are you exactly…”
Chen Di went crazy, and Han Fei snorted. “I am… your ancestor.”
Unlike Zhang Beihai, Han Fei brought Chen Di into his Origin Star after killing him.
And everyone pretended not to see that such a strong Great Dao crack had appeared in the camp. What else could the traitor’s fate be other than death?
This research took Han Fei nearly a hundred years.
He discovered that the more complicated a creature was, the more difficult it was to develop seal techniques and arrays that specifically targeted them. After wasting a lot of energy crystals, Han Fei finally developed an array that could parasitize the Ten Thousand Scale Race. Once it successfully parasitized a member of the Ten Thousand Scale Race, the array would evolve on its own and condense into a Soul Parasitic Seal.
This was the Soul Parasitic Seal that could be used on the Ten Thousand Scale Race. With the help of the Demon Purification Pot, as long as he consumed enough energy crystals, he could control many Ten Thousand Scale Race cultivators.
Soon, the Ten Thousand Scale Race cultivators in the Infinite Mining Area would all become his puppets.
…
Since Zhang Beihai’s victory in the defending war, his name had shaken the Infinite Mining Areas, and the ranking of the City of Scavengers had jumped from 32nd to 18th.
Although he didn’t make it to the top ten, the higher the ranking, the more difficult it was to raise it. The City of Scavengers was already at the top, but now it even jumped to the eighteenth place. This was enough to show the strength of the City of Scavengers.
Therefore, a lot more strong masters were attached to the City of Scavengers. As a result, the overall strength of the City of Scavengers exceeded any previous moment.
Without Han Fei’s intervention, Zhang Beihai’s plan would’ve been a huge success.
Unfortunately, so far, everything he did had been in vain.
Outside the camp of the City of Wanderers.
Long Wu was meeting Han Fei with Chen Tianya.
Long Wu and Chen Tianya were not surprised to see Han Fei at all. This big shot was elusive. After the northern expedition, no one knew where he was anymore. However, as a human, he would always have contact with the City of Scavengers.
However, the two of them were looking at Zhang Daqian, Long Wu. “Why did you bring a member of the Ten Thousand Scale Race?”
Han Fei casually threw out a small world and said, “There are 10,000 level-seven minerals and countless resources in it. I’m not giving them to you for free. I want energy crystals, and I need a lot of them. Of course, I know the situation in the Chaotic Wasteland, so I won’t spend all your annual harvest, but I need you to give me a batch every year. Also, the next tide wave should be coming soon. Prepare three billion energy crystals first! Then it will be 100 million a year for at least thirty years.”
“Hiss ~”
Long Wu and Chen Tianya felt a headache coming on. Han Fei really dared to ask for billions of energy crystals! Even if everyone in the City of Wanderers in the Chaotic Wasteland hunted more than ten ominous creatures during the tidal wave, they couldn’t get six billion energy crystals.
Even in the past, after every tidal wave, minus their basic consumption and the necessary resources, the entire City of Wanderers produced no more than 50 billion energy crystals.
But Han Fei asked for a tenth of it in one go, which shocked Long Wu and Chen Tianya.
Han Fei said casually, “This is Ye Fengliu from the City of Scavengers. He is completely trustworthy. In the future, he will be the one contacting you. When I appear one day, or if the City of Scavengers is destroyed, or if you pay six billion energy crystals in full, our deal will be over. To be honest, you won’t lose anything. 10,000 level-seven minerals are far more valuable than that. I can totally ask you for 60 billion energy crystals, but I know you guys are poor.”
Long Wu said without thinking, “Okay, today every year, energy crystals will be delivered on time.”
Han Fei suddenly thought of something and said, “Right, get me some more Clean Stones. Not much. One billion will be enough.”
Long Wu didn’t even blink. “Okay.”
Then Long Wu asked, “Are you leaving?”
Han Fei nodded slightly. “I’ll be away for a while, but it won’t affect our deal.”
Long Wu said, “The ranking of the City of Scavengers is greatly improved in the Hundred Alliance City. A few years ago, Zhang Beihai killed w.a.n.g Yan from the Grand Development Sect of the Central Sea Divine Realm alone, and made a big name in the Infinite Mining Area. You have to be careful.”
After all, Han Fei had once said that he would destroy the City of Scavengers and the City of Origin.
However, these two forces were too strong. Although Han Fei was strong, he was still in the Sky Opening Realm, although it was said that he could even fight the Great Monarch b.l.o.o.d.y Hand.
However, according to the comments of countless witnesses, Han Fei had borrowed the power of Puppet City and was mainly being beaten.
Therefore, Long Wu actually wanted to remind Han Fei not to show off. That kind of force couldn’t be destroyed easily.
Han Fei didn’t want to explain anything. He just said casually, “Just mind your own business.”
…
After leaving the Mine Demon Stream, Han Fei only stayed in the Hundred Alliance City and the City of Scavengers for about half a year.
As for the City of Origin, Han Fei had some ideas, but the City of Origin was stronger than the City of Scavengers. Besides, if he didn’t have the confidence to win quickly, he might as well not fight.
Therefore, Han Fei temporarily gave up attacking the City of Origin. Instead, he carried the Vast Ocean Navigator and began to search for the location of the G.o.d Burying Ridge.
In the end, the direction indicated by the Vast Ocean Navigator was the west side of the Infinite Mining Area.
And that happened to be where the ferocious beasts were.
