Chapter 239: The Tower Collapses
"It's not too late to know now, come down and kill me!"
Fei Long hooked his finger at the Lord of the Demon City, arrogant and insolent, making the other party fuming and bleeding.
"I want to see Lu Chen, call him out quickly."
The Lord of the Demon City knew that it was impossible to fight out of the city, so he had to suppress his anger and didn't bother to pay attention to Fei Long.
"Lu Chen doesn't want to pay attention to you, tell me what you want."
Fei Long laughed.
"Lu Chen, come out, if you don't come out, don't force me to use my last strength to fight you to death!"
The Lord of the Demon City ignored Fei Long and continued to shout on the top of the city.
"Do you still have the strength to come out and fight?"
A sneer from Lu Chen came from the crowd.
Afterwards, a person turned out from behind Fei Long, it was Lu Chen.
Originally, Lu Chen didn't want to pay attention to the Lord of the Demon City. He knew what the Lord of the Demon City wanted him for, it was for the spiritual energy vein.
The spiritual energy vein, he has already been safe, it is impossible to return in this life.
But he couldn't tell everyone that the spiritual vein was in him, so he could only trick the demon city lord and let the demons dig deep in the city to dig for a non-existent spiritual vein.
If the demon city lord hadn't been hysterical and might have made irrational moves, he wouldn't have appeared.
"Lu Chen, we've searched all over the south of the city, but there's no trace of the spiritual vein. Which house did you put the spiritual vein in?"
The demon city lord saw Lu Chen and asked hurriedly.
"It's in the south of the city. The spiritual vein will drill into the ground. Can't you dig to find it?"
Lu Chen said.
"The south of the city is so big, how can we dig it?"
The demon city lord said.
"Use a hoe to dig, do you need to be taught?"
Lu Chen said disdainfully.
"Or, you go into the city and take our people to dig."
The demon city lord said.
"Or, you go out of the city and try to see if we can melt you?"
Lu Chen said with a sneer.
"Don't worry, I guarantee your safety, no one dares to touch you."
The Lord of the Demon City knew what Lu Chen was worried about, so he said hurriedly.
Of course, he would never try to leave the city.
"Want me to go into the city?"
Lu Chen thought for a while and said, "Then you have to answer me a question first, why did I take away the spiritual energy vein, but the spiritual energy of the demon city not only did not disappear, but also two-thirds of it, what happened?"
"Because, there are two spiritual energy veins in my mansion, and you took away only the smallest one."
The Lord of the Demon City said truthfully.
"Two spiritual energy veins?"
Lu Chen took a breath and then asked, "Where is the other one?"
"Do you think I will tell you?"
The Lord of the Demon City sneered, he was not a fool, revealing the location of another spiritual energy vein to let others covet it.
The disappearance of that small spiritual energy vein alone made him very nervous.
"Tell me, or I'll go into the city to help you find the smaller one for the sake of the other spiritual vein."
Lu Chen said it seriously on the surface, but in his heart he cursed the City Lord of the Demon City a thousand times, ten thousand times.
Damn, you have two spiritual veins, why don't you put them together?
It would be great if I put them together, and take them away together, so I don't have to remember them all the time.
Spiritual veins, such a good resource, it would be a waste to put them in the Demon City.
"Okay, I can tell you, it's under the barracks in the west of the city, you can come in."
The City Lord of the Demon City said with a smile.
"Forget about going in, I can also tell you that when I left, I put the spiritual vein in a three-story house in the south of the city, you can find it yourself."
Lu Chen lied seriously, because the City Lord of the Demon City was also lying to him.
Lu Chen had escaped underground in the Demon City, and knew the soil under the Demon City. There was only black zircon in the north of the city, and there was no other place.
How could the spiritual vein be trapped without black zircon?
The other spiritual vein can only be somewhere in the north of the city, not in the west of the city. The demon city lord just wanted to trick him into the city.
"Three-story house? There are many such houses in the south of the city. How can I find it?"
The demon city lord said anxiously.
"How to find it is your business, don't bother me."
After Lu Chen said that, he walked into a tent built by Xuantian's disciples, too lazy to listen to the roar of the demon city lord.
The demon city lord scolded for a while, felt boring, and had to retreat from the city. He ordered his subordinates to draw more manpower, demolish all the houses in the south of the city, and dig three feet into the ground to dig out the spiritual vein.
The demon city lord returned to the city lord's mansion with a belly of resentment to check the progress of the artillery tower construction.
"The huge pillars of the artillery tower have been erected, and the construction speed will be accelerated. It will take about ten days for the artillery tower to be completed. By then, the city lord can bring a hundred beauties to enjoy in the artillery tower."
The housekeeper said.
"I lost the war, there will be no more beauties as rewards."
The demon city lord sighed and said, "This artillery tower is probably useless after it is built."
"It doesn't matter if there are not a hundred beauties. The city lord has ten beautiful wives and concubines, who can also be brought to the artillery tower for pleasure."
The housekeeper flattered.
"Okay."
The demon city lord nodded, and a smile finally appeared on his gloomy face.
Ten days later, a majestic artillery tower was finally built, with a weird interior and luxurious decorations.
The demon city lord was very satisfied with his masterpiece, and brought his ten beloved wives and concubines to visit the artillery tower together and prepare to move in.
However, the main beam of the turret was damaged because Lu Chen hit it with his finger. The huge weight of the entire turret pressed on the pillar, further enlarging the crack inside the pillar.
Gradually, the crack in the pillar extended from the core to the outside, and then the crack became larger and larger, and finally it could not bear the weight of the entire building and broke.
Without the main beam, the entire turret collapsed with a rumble and turned into a pile of ruins.
All the people in the turret were buried in the ruins.
"Butler, how could the main beam be broken?"
A man flew out of the ruins. He was covered in dust and looked very embarrassed. He was the angry demon city lord.
His wives and concubines had low cultivation. How could they withstand the collapse of the millions of pounds of turrets? They were crushed into meat patties on the spot and all died.
The incident happened too suddenly. Even if his cultivation was strong, he would not have time to save his wives and concubines.
"I don't know, you little man."
The butler said with a sad face and fear.
The housekeeper's cultivation was not high, but he did not enter the turret, and finally escaped.
"How could the main beam pillar weigh tens of millions of pounds, be broken? Someone must have destroyed the inside of the pillar!"
The demon city lord roared while running wildly, "Go and capture all the people who participated in the construction of the turret, I want to interrogate them personally!"
Not long after, all the coolies who participated in the construction of the turret were captured by the palace guards.
The demon city lord casually interrogated and someone confessed that ten days ago, a strange person came to work as a coolie and moved a large stone pillar, but disappeared on the way. Later, it was rumored that someone stole the spiritual veins from the palace.
