Lanling entered the Ghost Domain world once again.
There was no illusion whatsoever. It was directly the real Mirror Mountain.
“Master, is there anything you need me to do?” The voice of the Mirror Demon King rang out in his mind.
Lanling said, “Can you expand the energy shield and pull all the enemies outside into the illusion?”
“No.” The Mirror Demon King said, “Shrouding the entire mountain is already the limit of my spiritual power.”
Lanling said, “Then I temporarily do not need you to do anything.”
Then, Lanling directly climbed to the halfway point of Mirror Mountain and entered that cave.
Deep inside the cave, there was a pool, merely three or four metres in diameter.
However, below this was an underground lake. A hundred metres deep, an underground lake water system with a diameter exceeding a hundred li. Inside were countless fish, which could serve as a food reserve for the future Yan Demon Tribe.
Lanling held a thick stack of leather bags and dove fiercely into the water, going deeper and deeper and deeper…
Diving to the lake bottom a hundred metres deep, he took out a luminous stone for illumination.
There was a depression at the lake bottom. Because of the water flow, almost all the gold coins and treasures had flowed into this large pit.
Inside the large pit of several hundred square metres, gold coins and silver coins were everywhere, truly a sea of gold and silver mountains.
Lanling saw these treasures once again and still felt somewhat excited.
Opening the bags underwater, he then desperately stuffed handful after handful of gold coins into the leather bags.
With one touch of both hands, there were over a hundred gold coins.
These were clearly gold coins, yet they gave one the feeling of stones by a riverside. He filled one bag after another.
After stuffing for a full half hour, Lanling finally filled all the dozen or so leather bags he had brought down.
Even so, this was merely twenty or thirty thousand gold coins.
After filling them, Lanling surfaced carrying three bags of gold coins on his back each time. After several round trips, he finally transported these dozen or so bags of gold coins to the ground.
Then, he took another dozen or so bags and dove into the water again, beginning the next round of transport.
Going back and forth like this five or six times, Lanling filled a total of forty to fifty leather bags. Added together, it was one hundred thousand gold coins, if not more.
And even so, the gold coins in that large pit had merely decreased by a portion. How many gold coins still remained inside? Truly, no one knew.
This was truly a colossal treasure bestowed upon Lanling by heaven.
…
Over one hundred thousand gold coins, filling a total of fifty-three bags, weighing over thirty thousand jin combined.
Lanling also worked laboriously, transporting bag after bag of gold coins down the mountain.
Finding an open space, Lanling poured out all fifty bags of gold coins.
This one hundred thousand gold coins completely piled into a small mountain. Under the sunlight, it was brilliantly golden, incomparably dazzling and eye-catching.
This feeling was like seeing a mountain made of banknotes on Earth, and it was one billion in cash.
That kind of **, that kind of impact, was completely unparalleled. He believed it was sufficient to drive anyone mad.
After completing all this, exactly one day had passed.
On this day, the eight hundred cavalry led by Constantine were setting up camp and arranging simple defences.
…
Recently, the chieftain of the Ankara Tribe was completely riding high. After annexing the Wild Horse Tribe, his power, whether in territory or subjects, had explosively increased by over sixty percent.
And now, Constantine of the Chimera Tribe had become a thorn in his side.
At this time, anyone knew that there was bound to be a war between the Chimera and Ankara tribes.
Moreover, Alfonso knew that he held the upper hand. He only needed to thoroughly exterminate the remnants of the Wild Horse Tribe and thoroughly digest the fruits of victory. Then he would go to war with the Chimera Tribe.
Right now, trade between the two tribes had completely ceased. Not only that, but at the border between the two tribes, friction had been constant.
On this day, as usual, Alfonso led over a thousand cavalry, searching everywhere for the remnants of the Wild Horse Tribe.
Only by thoroughly killing the Wild Horse Tribe chieftain Duo Duo and his daughter could he truly annex the Wild Horse Tribe.
“Foster father, there is a person ahead.” Suddenly, a female shaman beside the Ankara Tribe said, pointing at the woods not far ahead.
This female shaman was entirely shrouded in a black cloak. Her face could not be seen.
The only thing visible was her devil-like figure, almost no inferior to Second Madame Si Si’s figure.
And her hoarse, enchanting voice.
“Go and take a look.” Alfonso ordered.
Immediately, four experts rushed forward swiftly and dragged the person hiding in the woods out.
It was a near-human race woman. Her body was thin, but her face was very beautiful.
She was, of course, Amo, who had pledged loyalty to Lanling, that Amo who was deeply devoted to Suomo.
Her thin body was carrying two large leather bags, heavy and weighed down.
The four experts escorted her before the Ankara Tribe chieftain Alfonso and made her kneel.
“What is on your back?” Alfonso asked coldly.
“N, nothing…” Amo said.
Alfonso drew his greatsword and fiercely slashed at the leather bag on her back.
“Clatter…”
Immediately, countless gold coins slid out. A whole floor of gold coins, dazzling everyone’s eyes.
Alfonso’s gaze exploded with light. Everyone loved gold coins. Don’t look at how his Ankara Tribe was stronger than the Chimera Tribe, but he was not as wealthy as Constantine.
Alfonso was rather extravagant, not as good at accumulating wealth as Constantine.
These several thousand gold coins were already a windfall.
Looking again at this near-human race woman, she simply did not look like someone who would possess so many gold coins.
This was the barbaric world. Apart from the tribe’s chieftain, shaman, elders, and a very small number of people, no one at all would have several thousand gold coins. Let alone a near-human race?
In the southern barbaric world, the near-human race was entirely in the position of two-legged sheep.
“Where did these gold coins come from?” Alfonso directly placed his greatsword across Amo’s neck.
“G, Ghost Domain world.” Amo said tremblingly.
“Impossible…” Alfonso said fiercely, “The Ghost Domain world is a death forbidden zone.”
Amo said, “I, I just came out from the Ghost Domain world.”
Alfonso said, “No one can come out from the Ghost Domain world.”
Amo said, “I came out following someone else. That person saw through the Ghost Domain world’s illusion, so he successfully came out.”
“Who?” Alfonso asked.
Amo said, “Lanling of the Chimera Tribe.”
“Lanling!” Alfonso’s gaze contracted.
This name, he had already heard like thunder piercing his ears. In the great war between the Chimera Tribe and the Wild Horse Tribe, Lanling was the number one meritorious subject, achieving a near heaven-defying battle record.
The only person Alfonso feared when going to war with the Chimera Tribe was this Lanling.
“Where is this Lanling person?” Alfonso asked.
Amo said, “Returned to the Chimera Tribe, saying he wanted to duel with someone called Du Yan. So after leaving the Ghost Domain world, we parted ways.”
Alfonso stared at the floor full of gold coins and said, “Are there still gold coins inside this Ghost Domain world?”
“There are, there are still many…” Amo said.
“How many?” Alfonso asked.
“At least eighty or ninety thousand!” Amo spoke a number that made everyone’s heart in the vicinity race.
Eighty or ninety thousand, already exceeding all the savings the Ankara Tribe had accumulated over these years.
Alfonso pointed at Amo and said, “You, lead us to the Ghost Domain world, and find the gold coins and give them to me.”
“It won’t work. After I enter the Ghost Domain world, I won’t be able to come out again.” Amo said loudly.
The female shaman beside him said, “Foster father, if this is a trap, it would be terrible. Let me first go to the periphery of the Ghost Domain world to investigate.”
“Very well!” Alfonso said.
Then, this curvaceous female shaman grabbed Amo and lifted her onto her warhorse. A single rider, galloping towards the Ghost Domain world.
And Alfonso was actually completely at ease, showing just how high her cultivation was.
…
It had already been a full three days since Lanling entered the Ghost Domain world. Constantine’s patience was almost exhausted.
“Chieftain, could Lanling have already escaped?” Du Yan said.
“He won’t. Ali is in our hands. His family is all in our hands. He cannot run.” Constantine said.
“Not necessarily. If one does not act for oneself, heaven and earth will destroy him.” Du Yan said.
And right at this moment, a figure walked out from the energy shield. It was truly Lanling.
He was carrying two large leather bags on his back. After walking out, he poured the gold coins from both bags out onto the ground with a clatter.
Immediately, several thousand gold coins spilled onto the ground like water, piling into a thick layer.
A full five or six thousand gold coins.
Almost everyone beside Constantine was about to stare dumbfounded.
And in the distance, the Ankara female shaman who was observing this place with her spiritual power also had her breathing stall.
Constantine said loudly, “Didn’t you say one hundred thousand gold coins? Where are the other portions?”
Lanling said, “Don’t be anxious. Aren’t there still twelve days left? I need to retrieve them pool by pool.”
Then, Lanling took two empty bags and re-entered the Ghost Domain world.
…
After the Ankara Tribe’s female shaman confirmed the news of the gold coins, she returned before Alfonso at the fastest speed.
“Foster father, there is indeed a sum of gold coins, a full one hundred thousand.” The female shaman said, “But, Constantine has already got there first.”
Alfonso said, “How many people does Constantine have outside the Ghost Domain world?”
“I counted. Approximately eight hundred cavalry.” The female shaman said.
Alfonso’s gaze revealed a cunning light. He breathed heavily.
This one hundred thousand gold coins was a fatal ** for him. But, he was as cunning and suspicious as Constantine.
“Could this be Constantine’s poisonous scheme, wanting to lure us into his ambush and then capture us all in one net?” Alfonso said.
The female shaman said, “It should not be. My informant in the Chimera Tribe told me that Lanling defeated Du Yan in a duel, but was then imprisoned by Constantine. The charge was ** with a fox race beauty called Ali, and this woman’s husband was the younger brother of Constantine’s wife.”
Alfonso said, “And then?”
The female shaman said, “Originally, Lanling and this woman called Ali were to be publicly tried, then stripped naked and paraded through the streets. One was to be beheaded, the other stoned to death. But in the end, Ali was released home, while Lanling was brought to the Ghost Domain world. From this, I infer that Lanling used one hundred thousand gold coins to exchange for his own and Ali’s two lives.”
“Foolish.” Alfonso sneered coldly, “After Constantine obtains the one hundred thousand gold coins, he will still kill him and that fox spirit.”
“That’s right, indeed so.” The female shaman said, “But, at the very least, this one hundred thousand gold coins is real. And Constantine only has eight hundred cavalry beside him. This is also real.”
The Ankara Tribe chieftain Alfonso’s breathing immediately grew heavy.
The female shaman said, “This is a once-in-a-thousand-years opportunity. Not only can we obtain an astronomical sum of gold coins, but we can also take the chance to kill Constantine. As long as Constantine dies, his son is completely a waste. The day we annex the Chimera Tribe is within sight.”
Alfonso said, “At that time, how should that monstrous genius Lanling be dealt with?”
The female shaman said, “Can you tolerate him?”
Alfonso said, “If he is too outstanding, I also cannot tolerate him.”
“Then kill him.” The female shaman said.
Alfonso narrowed his eyes. His gaze was filled with coldness and killing intent. He was hesitating, weighing his options.
The female shaman said, “I heard that Constantine sent people to Raksha City. He probably wants to marry his daughter to the Little Barbarian King. Once he obtains this one hundred thousand gold coins, he can produce an astronomical dowry. Then his daughter’s marriage to the Little Barbarian King will be a certainty. Once Nini’an becomes the Little Barbarian King’s concubine, then we can forget about attacking the Chimera Tribe.”
That’s right. Within several thousand li of this area, there was no one who dared to defy Raksha City’s decree. The Southeastern Barbarian King was an existence like heaven and earth’s supreme ruler to the people of this land.
Alfonso thought for a full ten minutes.
In the end, he still could not resist the ** of one hundred thousand gold coins. Especially since this one hundred thousand gold coins absolutely must not fall into Constantine’s hands.
This opportunity was truly once in a thousand years for the Ankara Tribe.
He abruptly turned his horse’s head and said, “Return to the tribe. Secretly dispatch two thousand cavalry. Surround and annihilate Constantine, seize the one hundred thousand gold coins!”
“Understood!”
The next day!
The Ankara Tribe chieftain led two thousand elite cavalry, taking a detour from the north, secretly marching towards the Ghost Domain world, attacking Constantine from behind.
…
There were still seven days until the fifteen-day deadline.
Lanling had already transported out four loads of gold coins, a total of twenty-three thousand coins.
This number had already made Constantine’s heart race, had already made the eight hundred cavalry beside him dizzy with dazzlement.
Recently, Lanling transported gold coins twice every day. Each time, it was two large bags, a full five or six thousand gold coins.
In other words, Constantine had over ten thousand gold coins coming in every day. This feeling of making a huge windfall was too wonderful. So much so that Constantine dreamed of brilliantly golden gold coins every day.
However, on this night, he received terrible news.
The Ankara Tribe chieftain Alfonso was leading two thousand cavalry in a secret attack.
Clearly, for some unknown reason, the news of the gold coins had leaked out.
Alfonso was not only coming to seize the gold coins, but also taking the chance to kill him, Constantine.
He only had eight hundred cavalry beside him, only one-third of the Ankara Tribe’s force. Once battle commenced, defeat was certain. There was even danger to his life.
So at this moment, Constantine faced a difficult choice.
Should he immediately take the twenty thousand plus gold coins and return to the tribe?
Or should he send someone to the Chimera Tribe to dispatch reinforcements?
The former was the safest and most secure. But Lanling sent out over ten thousand gold coins every day. If he was not present, would these gold coins still belong to him, Constantine? Impossible!
Whoever saw this sum of gold coins would be overcome with greed. Once he was not present, these tribal cavalry would definitely scramble to seize these gold coins, then flee and defect to other tribes.
They were all Raksha race. With money on their bodies, they were not afraid of no one accepting them.
Thus, Constantine could only choose to reinforce!
He sent people back to the Chimera Tribe, ordering Nini’an and Yang Gu to personally lead three thousand troops to the periphery of the Ghost Domain world to protect the gold coins.
However, shortly after Nini’an and Yang Gu set out with three thousand Chimera Tribe troops, they were immediately discovered by the Ankara Tribe.
Thus, Alfonso also reinforced his troops.
Next, both sides continuously reinforced.
In the end, both tribes dispatched ten thousand troops, grand**** marching towards the Ghost Domain world, contending for this one hundred thousand gold coins!
And the Chimera Tribe’s total of thirteen thousand troops, at this time, only three thousand troops remained to defend the tribe!
Of course, the Ankara Tribe was the same. Only eight thousand troops remained to defend the tribe, but they had to guard two tribal bases.
Originally, the great war between the Ankara and Chimera tribes should have erupted two or three years later.
But because of this one hundred thousand gold coins, it was actually going to erupt ahead of schedule!
At this point, the fourth step of Lanling’s rebellion and establishment of independence was smoothly completed!
