Chapter 29 Stealing the Essence of Life
......
At this moment, Qin Fengqing had just entered the core area. There were several passages ahead, and each passage was guarded by underground warriors.
Just as Qin Fengqing sensed a surge of life energy spreading outwards, she heard someone shout, "The Fountain of Life is about to open! All teams, be on alert!"
"Is it about to open?" Qin Fengqing sensed the energy and, combined with the reactions of the cave warriors, deduced that the Fountain of Life was about to open.
Generally, opening the Fountain of Life requires the solidification of ninth-grade spiritual power to prevent the loss of life essence.
Once it shatters, its life essence will completely dissipate, resulting in severe losses. Therefore, the demon peach tree is probably using all its mental power to solidify it at this moment.
At this moment, all the underground warriors are focused on the Spring of Life. Since the high-purity cultivation energy stone mine is probably unguarded, Qin Fengqing plans to start from the cultivation energy stone mine area.
Qin Fengqing then sensed the direction of the high-purity ore area and picked up his tools to start digging.
In order to open the Fountain of Life, the Demon Peach Tree is now focusing all its energy on the Fountain of Life.
Soon Qin Fengqing arrived at the high-purity cultivation energy stone mine. Almost every piece of energy stone here was larger and purer than the one he had collected the first time he went down into the underground cave.
Qin Fengqing was constantly putting large pieces of cultivation energy stones from the ground into her storage space.
The harvesting of about a ton of energy stones caused a slight decrease in the energy concentration of the ore vein.
They arrived directly beneath the Fountain of Life, and at that moment, the eighth-rank Venerable who was in charge of opening the Fountain of Life seemed to sense a slight weakening of its energy.
He opened his eyes and looked around, but the next second his energy was replenished by the energy emanating from the Fountain of Life.
The Eighth-Rank Venerable frowned slightly, realizing he must have misperceived something, and closed his eyes again.
Just as the eighth-rank Venerable closed his eyes, Qin Fengqing quietly opened a small hole at the very center of the Spring of Life. There, the high-ranking members of the underground caves were immersed in the rich life essence and vitality, constantly repairing their injuries.
Within the spiritual barrier of the Peach City, only one passage is continuously supplying life essence.
Seeing that everyone was cultivating with their eyes closed, Qin Fengqing flew directly upwards into the sky.
Fly to the top of the energy waterfall, where the essence of life is pouring down from the entrance of the passage.
Qin Fengqing estimated the distance; if the energy supply were interrupted, it would take at most three seconds.
The eighth-rank Venerable who presided over the opening of the Fountain of Life could see that Qin Fengqing had to pour a large amount of life essence into the storage space within that time.
Qin Fengqing acted immediately after thinking it through, rushing to the entrance of the passage. He opened his storage space, and a large amount of life essence flowed into it.
Qin Fengqing gave herself a second to escape; the energy supply hadn't been cut off yet. However, the Demon Peach Tree had already sensed something was wrong—someone was stealing its life essence!
Two seconds later, Qin Fengqing rushed directly into the hole she had come out of and blocked it up.
Because the hole Qin Fengqing dug was located in the very center, where the energy was most concentrated, it provided Qin Fengqing with a great deal of cover.
Three seconds later, the eighth-rank Venerable who presided over the Fountain of Life suddenly opened his eyes, and his spiritual power instantly covered the surroundings.
Meanwhile, Qin Fengqing had already used the cover of the Spring of Life to reach a depth of 100 meters underground, thus escaping the spiritual power threat posed by the eighth-rank Venerable of the cave.
Meanwhile, all the high-level cultivators who were healing regained consciousness. Several seventh-rank commanders suffered a backlash due to the interruption of their energy supply during the healing process, and coughed up blood.
When the people in the underground cave opened their eyes, all they saw was the Eighth-Rank Venerable's face full of anger.
The eighth-rank Venerable ignored them and instead looked up at the life passage. Lord Divine Peach had already closed the passage.
With a flash of anger in his eyes, he roared, "Someone has stolen the Fountain of Life! Immediately seal off the entire city and apprehend this person!"
The voice of the Eighth-Rank Venerable resounded throughout the underground, and upon hearing this, the other high-ranking beings also flew out of the mine and immediately issued an order to seal off the city.
"Martial law declared throughout the city! Thieves have broken in. All officers are ordered to apprehend the thieves!"
"The city gates are closed"
Meanwhile, the demon peach was stirring up all its tentacles underground, trying to find Qin Fengqing.
Qin Fengqing dug and filled in the area as she went, uncovering the roots of the demon peach.
At this moment, Qin Fengqing was still 300 meters underground. His whole body was covered in mud, and with the addition of his aura barrier, he seemed to have blended into the surrounding environment.
At this moment, Peach City is conducting a city-wide search for Qin Fengqing, so Qin Fengqing plans to dig directly outside the royal city and then leave the royal city.
......
at the same time.
After all the high-level martial artists came out, they began to check the outsiders from the past two days one by one.
Ultimately, based on the innkeeper's testimony, it was revealed that a fifth-rank martial artist he had never seen before had come to the inn, and the man had told him not to disturb him for the next two days.
So the seventh-rank commander in charge of the area came to the small courtyard that Qin Fengqing had previously rented, and found a passage leading to the mine under the bed in the room.
The seventh-rank commander immediately reported this.
Finally, the short-haired, eighth-rank Venerable arrived at this place and followed the trail all the way to the core mining area, where he discovered that one ton of high-purity cultivation energy stones was still missing.
"Damn it!" The man with the buzz cut slammed his fist against the wall. He had no choice but to report everything.
At this moment, all the high-ranking members of Demon Peach City were mobilized, constantly exploring the entire royal city, while the roots of Demon Peach City were constantly sweeping through the entire underground.
......
The Lord's Mansion of Peach City.
At this moment, the city lord of Yaotao City was sitting in the head seat. He did not expect that he would suffer such a great loss just because he had confronted Zhang Weiyu.
At this moment, the city lord of Peach City was looking down at the people below with a gloomy expression.
"Tell me the details."
Seeing this, the crew-cut man could only step forward to report: "Reporting to the city lord, this time we have lost 1 ton of high-purity cultivation energy stones... and 150 jin of life essence..."
Upon hearing this, the city lord of Yaotao City turned ashen-faced.
"A bunch of useless trash! Such a huge loss and you don't even know who did it? What use are you?"
The eighth-rank Venerable who had previously been in charge of the Fountain of Life said helplessly, "My subordinates have almost turned the entire royal city upside down, and Lord Divine Peach has also searched the underground area thoroughly. I'm afraid the thieves have already left the royal city..."
......
Just as the Eighth-Rank Venerable had said, Qin Fengqing had emerged from a secluded forest outside the royal city.
Qin Fengqing dug down to find that the place where he had fled was in the very center of the entire royal city.
After estimating the distance, they continued digging forward, filling in as they went. Just as they were about to reach the top, they used their mental energy to sense the area and discovered that they had emerged from the edge of a secluded forest.
Qin Fengqing looked around and saw that it was the same town where he had initially gathered intelligence, thus knowing his location. He then headed towards the human settlement.
