I Can Reap Qi Fortune from Players-Chapter 527 - 20: Forceful Seizure of Fish Wine City
The Food God and several chefs from Shao Chaikun’s big cafeteria gathered together:
"Is he still not confessing?"
"Should we resort to torture?"
"Don’t be so cruel, sprinkle some cumin, that stuff burns wounds and causes intense pain."
"Should we also sprinkle some salt? It’s super effective on wounds, right?"
"You fool, do ocean creatures fear salt?"
"Let’s try it."
"Begin by pulling out his shrimp line."
The tortured General Xiatou, had his shrimp line pulled and screamed in fright.
They even said this tribe is cruel, with fish bones and spines everywhere, it’s a fish-eating tribe.
You are the cruelest group of lunatics!
He rotated on the grill, screaming:
"I confess, I confess everything!"
In the Red House.
Ning Zheng was chatting with a sea race beauty full of exotic charm, showing a satisfied smile.
Not bad.
These little blacksmiths are becoming more self-sufficient.
Thanks to their understanding, taking initiative to solve various messy affairs, Ning Zheng had time to handle his own business.
Like listening to music at the Red House, or going to Xirong Divine Statue, and hearing the praises of Xirong worldwide.
Battle? As long as they enjoy it.
Soon, the interrogation intel came out.
These cities don’t even have official stations, they’re genuine private wild cities.
Out in the wild, there are groups of Three Elements Realm, living in wall districts built by various forces.
There is backing.
But they only pay taxes upwards, no one cares about your internal conflicts, as long as someone pays, they won’t intervene.
Power shift is the norm.
"Is that it?"
Ning Zheng sighed at the ridiculous oversight here.
Truly, it’s you, Dragon Race.
Externally adopting advanced Human Race management mechanisms, while internally maintaining primitive tribal barbarism.
Your reform is no better than leaving things unchanged.
It’s just for appearances.
Feels like the Dragon Race proposed reform, then left it alone, with the Turtle Prime Minister merely paying lip service.
He stroked his chin, revealing a hint of a smile:
"Taking over Fish Wine City should be easy as pie?"
The great hiding in the market.
It seems he’d have to disguise as a sea race city lord for a while.
Ding!
The Ai assistant emitted a system notification sound.
Almost simultaneously, all the small blacksmiths at the stronghold received a task popup:
[Limited Time Task: Capture Fish Wine City.]
[Task Introduction: Without exposing yourself, disguise as Bone Demon Stronghold bandits, infiltrate the city, and capture it.]
"Wow, something exciting!"
"Geez, told you not to stir trouble, beating up their large shrimp army, now look what happened? We stirred up a big mess!"
"Only option is to resolve the trouble now."
"Charge!"
"Now, we are Bone Demon bandits outside the city, blades in hand, slaughter the tyrants, follow me!"
"Let’s go, our city lord, entered the city to take on the role!"
"Wait, we’re disguising as the Bone Demon Commander from earlier, how do the robbery lines go?"
"Not quite sure."
"How did Ancestor Qi teach us?"
"Can’t remember."
"Useless."
"Improvise freely!"
...
The blacksmiths arrived before the General Xiatou, expressing anger:
"We originally just wanted to take over here, dig treasures, settle down, but you went too far!!"
!!!
General Xiatou whimpered.
"The people are oppressed, in dire straits, we eat poorly, wear inadequately, we must resist!"
"You dog official, I want you dead!!!"
Swish, a shrimp head was chopped off, wrapped in cloth:
"Brothers, later sail the mountain ark overhead, drop their general’s head, siege the city!!"
"Kill corrupt officials, follow me! Charge!"
...
"Young master, what are you looking at?" The sea race beauty asked curiously.
"Looking at the city that belongs to me."
Ning Zheng sat in the tavern watching the city gate, "This land is rotten to the core, it needs a thorough scrape."
"Lord, you can’t say that, in our city—"
The sea race beauty followed Ning Zheng’s gaze upward, seeing suddenly emerging Bone Demon soldiers.
She screamed on the spot:
"Bandits!! Didn’t they leave to hunt bandits, how did they enter the city??"
With this scream, the whole city exploded like fish soup, countless sardines inside screamed, fleeing everywhere.
The Bone Demon Stronghold is notorious bandits.
Killed countless fish, extremely brutal, piled bones to form the stronghold, terrifying even to fish.
Now, the city army constituted by the families had just left to chase bandits, did they perish at the stronghold outside?
As numerous residents clung to slim hope, a massive shrimp head was dropped from the sky.
"It’s General Xia Dating!"
"This is a top expert of Three Elements Realm! How could this happen!?"
The city’s powerhouses were anxious.
The sea race beauty beside retreated a few steps in fear.
Ning Zheng glanced at her, yet seemed unconcerned.
He took several fish bones from his storage ring, inserted them into his head, then some fish scales into his skin, instantly resembling a Bone Demon leader.
Now he was the leader of Bone Demons in the stronghold.
Don’t blame his disguise technique for being crude, that’s how disguises work in this world.
Poke holes with bones, dig a piece from the jawbone, it’ll all grow back anyway.
Moreover, Ning Zheng was originally a Ghost King, his true form now a soul shell; his body had long ceased to be mortal.
Ning Zheng leapt high, ascended into the city sky, sensing several Three Elements Realm cultivators in the city and their ancestors.
"Who are you??"
Several Three Elements Realm sea race cultivators suddenly shouted in anger.
"I am the leader of Bone Demon Stronghold! Bone Demon Commander, this juicy piece of your city, I’ve been eyeing for years!"
Ning Zheng laughed heartily, mimicking the heroism only Ancestor Qi had.
He rarely ventured out, having seen few Tribulation Cultivators, naturally referenced the diligent Ancestor Qi.
"You’re lying, you’re not—" Before he finished.
Poom, an explosion.
Ning Zheng punched his heart, but he hadn’t fully died, grabbed his head, squeezed fiercely, "You know too much."
Poom.
A Three Elements Realm perished.
Ning Zheng was virtually invincible among the Three Elements Realm.
Race: Super Ghost King, invincible in the same tier.
Spiritual Root: Celestial Spirit Root, below Immortal Spirit Root, invincible.
Combat Techniques: Added millions of Qi Fortune Value, invincible.
His combat techniques now, blade, spear, staff, are exquisite.
Even without any Shadow Crocodile’s divine techniques, merely the Super Ghost King+Celestial Spirit Root’s high base White Value Attribute was enough to crush opponents.
Poom! Poom! Poom!
One after another, Three Elements Realm crushed.
"Help, help~"
Cries echoed throughout the town.
"Kill!"
"Annihilate them!"
The small blacksmith’s hundreds-strong army, launching crazed attacks.
But they were quickly wiped out, yet the blacksmiths continued reviving, continuously airborne from head’s ark, persisted in combat.
The city troops couldn’t see through the Immortal Artifact Protective Shield, not realizing the gigantic mountain ark overhead, merely assuming endless reinforcements from above.
Hundreds, thousands!
One after another, quickly crushed several major city families.
"We surrender, surrender!"
Numerous sea races kneeled, surrendered.
Ning Zheng observed this scene, his expression calm, similar to a place like Pingchang City, easily conquered.
The blacksmiths, too, were exceptionally excited.
"Such a big, big city!"
Seeing this huge city, their faces were filled with disbelief, saying:
"Open world... sandbox!"
"This update, such a huge surprise awaits us."
