X-Dragon Era-Chapter 529 - s 382-384: Formidable Enemy Attacks Part 2

It has to be said, these seven little fellows have an incredibly strong sense of duty, tirelessly patrolling every day. They pilot steel dragons that are identical to Godslayer Luo Fu's, only much smaller in size, patrolling the skies above Shoushan. Whenever they encounter troublemakers, they excitedly dive down. Under the influence of Luo Fu, these seven guys strike with such cruelty, effectively suppressing the ruffians and hooligans within Shoushan City, deterring them from stirring up trouble.

Although they are far less powerful than the rest, everyone has witnessed Luo Fu's might and ferocity. While they are confident in taking down these seven little fellows, they lack the confidence to escape Luo Fu's pursuit!

Seeing that all was serene in Shoushan City, Xin Yun and the others were overjoyed. Without a word, they immediately returned to the secret chamber in the Pot Sky to embark on the grand task of uniting the nine dragons. Once they achieved the union of the nine dragons, they would reach the perfect realm of Ten Stars, and after grasping the mystery of the new rank, they would successfully break through.

However, before going into seclusion, Xin Yun and Luo Fu called the seven little fellows over and instructed them that if they encountered an irresistible invasion, there was no need to fight to the death. It would be fine to let the invaders take over; they could immediately retreat to the Pot Sky through the Taiji Diagram and wait for their emergence from seclusion. By then, it would be time for settling scores and grievances, and there would be no more reasoning to be had.

In fact, at this point, there wasn't much left for Xin Yun and the others to do. Staying here any longer served no purpose. The only thing they had to do was wait for those who would come to seize Shoushan to appear.

In reality, as of today, it doesn't really matter whether Shoushan City is occupied or not. Since Shoushan Cave Heaven was already secured, even if Shoushan City were taken over, it wouldn't matter. However… Xin Yun and the others urgently required actual combat and slaughter. The Sky-opening Axe was soon to be repaired to the Third Layer, which would necessitate the power of thousands of masters at the Purple Crystal rank to summon the corresponding Silver Skeletons.

It's worth mentioning that only the energy of masters at the Purple Crystal rank is sufficient to manifest Silver Skeletons. After all… once consumed by the All-Heaven Netherworld Banner, not all the power feeds the Xuanming White Bone Banner. The other eleven banners also absorb energy, and only the energy from the bones can be absorbed into the Xuanming White Bone Banner, containing just one-twelfth of the total power.

Of course, one-twelfth of a Purple Crystal rank master's power is probably incomparable to that of a Silver rank. But the current situation is that the Sky-opening Axe has only been repaired by 20%, capable of only producing Silver Skeletons. Any excess energy lingers on the surface of the bones, giving them a silver appearance. Otherwise, with ten percent of a Purple Crystal rank's energy, the skeletons born would at least be of the Crystal rank!

It's also not just masters above the Purple Crystal rank that are effective. If one slaughters a Gold ranked individual, it would directly give rise to a Silver Skeleton. As for slaying Silver ranked masters, it takes ten to condense one; and for Bronze rank, a hundred are needed to form a single Silver Skeleton.

Upon entering the secret chamber, the five of them started the refining process, aiming to merge the nine dragons and achieve the state of Great Perfection. Meanwhile, everything in the outside world was left behind.

For Xin Yun and the others, everything had already been arranged. Only skeletons remained in Shoushan Cave Heaven. The daily task of delivering ten buckets of Spiritual Spring water was assigned to Yan Qingying's Twelve Apostles!

And of course, Ming Xuan's 365 followers were not idle either. They were responsible for collecting Immortal Herbs within the Pot Sky as per Lv'er's requirements for her alchemy, an effort that wasn't in vain. All these tasks would be converted into gang member points. Only after reaching the status of a First-Level Gang Member could they claim Spiritual Treasure. Until then, they were just temporary gang members.

Simultaneously with Xin Yun's group entering seclusion, Shoushan Cave Heaven and the Pot Immortal Realm were also sealed off. Except for the twelve Apostles responsible for water delivery, no one was allowed to leave the Cave Heaven. Of course... the Seven Killings Lords were not restricted by this; they could still enter, but once they came in, they were not allowed to leave. For this reason… Xin Yun had already disabled the relevant functions of the Taiji Diagram.

By doing so, even though they were in a state of seclusion, no one could threaten any member of Longmen. All members and their families were now gathered in the Pot Immortal Realm, inaccessible to outsiders.

While Xin Yun and the others were secluded, Shoushan remained peaceful on the surface. However, beneath this tranquility lurked numerous unsettling factors. How could such a vast city truly be subdued by seven little kids!

Although the local thugs and hooligans are definitely too scared to provoke them, after all... the title of Godslayer Luo Fu is no joke. Even though his reputation was not as great as in his previous life, Luo Fu's methods and style are undeniable. Provoking him would certainly lead to the annihilation of one's entire family, it didn't matter if they were just a little gangster or a town lord.

Yet, while the small fries were deterred, in such a huge city with so much at stake, it couldn't stop other major gangs and powers from coveting it.

Shoushan is a mega-city with a population of over 30 million. Xin Yun set the tax at 10%, a one-way levy that brought in over 300 million a month. If converted to a two-way tax and raised to 20%, that would be over a billion! That's more than a hundred billion a year in revenue, a sum too great for anyone to ignore!
