Chapter 473: Cell phone

The two went all out in their strolling!

Girls naturally liked to shop and even though the Miracle Shopping Center was not complete, it was still rich in terms of products. One could buy dwarven weapons, various special kinds of pills, and all kinds of materials here. At the very least, it was hard to find a more convenient, inclusive, and larger market on the continent.

Any single shopaholic could be satisfied here.

The Miracle Shopping Center was not something any stores could compare to.

Even if there were no physical products, as long as the order was given, Miracle Commerce could use the Space Warehouses at the transfer stations to send them over. With this platform, not only was it business heaven for the citizens of Miracle City, it was also a large blessing to the surrounding tribes and towns.

The surrounding tribes and towns did not have the qualifications to build Space Warehouses, but they knew about Miracle Commerce's new products and promotions each day. They could use the communication device to ask about the situation of the product and send orders to the business city each day.

Miracle Commerce had prepared ten transport airships.

It was for no other reason than to transport products.

It would be delivered the day after order. With this high altitude transport, it was completely safe.

The lifestyles of the surrounding towns and tribes all increased from this!

They could easily sell their local products and they could buy human goods from the Great Summer Country or the dwarven made equipment from Oldman Small Town.

The magnetic sound device and the video disk players were now becoming popular among the locals. Every day, they would listen to the news on Miracle Commerce's broadcasts, they would eat the source energy food bought from Miracle Commerce, drink the nice wine from the Miracle Shopping Center, and would use the pills from the human countries.

Miracle Commerce had only appeared for a month, but it had already seeped into the lifestyles of the locals.

Because the forest started industrial sectors, there were many locals looking for jobs and they didn't have time to fight like before. They all entered training to find new jobs.

Those locals not willing to be ordinary began to create partnerships with other forest locals and were starting a new wave of entrepreneurship. After all, Miracle Commerce's headquarters would be in Miracle City in the future, so this was an advantage they had over the rest of the continent.

Delores led her caravan around guiding people and putting in investments. There were large planting area, agricultural areas, various herb fields, orchards, and factories in the forest. In just a year or two, they would sprout up like mushrooms after the rain. Although these were ventures by the locals, there was still Miracle Commerce stock in them.

Miracle Banking was not stingy with their loans, only they were tight on source stones. The interest increased again, but there were more and more loan requests because Miracle Commerce's prospect was too good. In this blank period, it was a wave of entrepreneurship. With the guidance of the fox merchants, it was impossible to not return the loan, not to mention suffering a loss.

Yin Spirit felt stronger and stronger that Miracle City was not simple.

Yin Spirit could not imagine Miracle City's future at all. This place was already filled with infinite possibilities.

"Hello, Yingying? It's me, Vivian. It's dark, let's go eat together." Vivian took out a communication device and called Vivian, "Right, right, right, Miracle Grand Restaurant. We'll see you later!"

After saying this.

Vivian hung up the call, "Let's go little sect master, I'll treat you to a feast!"

With a slash of her hand, space was cut open and the two directly arrived at the Miracle Grand Restaurant. This place was a mountain at the center of a lake, being surrounded by clear lake water. There was a peak in the center where a restaurant castle was built, having stars at its peak, giving it character and style.

There was nothing several kilometers around the Miracle Grand Restaurant, but it was still very lively even thought it was remote. The rich chiefs and gnomes all came here and the several halls were filled.

Vivian had reserved a location close to the lake.

This place was elegantly decorated with a large balcony that allowed one to see the moonlight reflected on the water. If one was interested, they could go down the steps and sit on the pavilion to watch the fish, drinking tea and watching the moon.

Vivian did not even look at the thick menu, she directly ordered several of the most expensive dishes, even the soup was made from the Water of Life from the gnome temple. Anyway, it all belonged to Miracle Commerce.

It's already said that elves were simple.

But this princess did not seem like an elf at all.

Meng Yinying and Nangong Yun instantly arrived, staggering out at the entrance of the restaurant, almost falling into the lake. Nangong Yun complained, "Yingying, what are you doing. We almost fell off the mountain."

"Sorry, sorry." Meng Yingying kept apologizing, "Who told the spatial ability to be so complicated. I duplicated Vivian's source spirit, but it's hard to control."

Vivian stood up, "Over here, come over quickly!"

The ingredients, the spices, and everything else were all incomparably precious level three materials!

A chef that could easily cook these materials had to be in the True Spirit Realm!

A person with this strength could be considered a top class character in the Great Zhou Country, but he came here to become a chef, it could be imagine how high the cost was. Not to mention that this source energy chef put down the honour of an expert to be a chef, meaning that he had a deep love for good food, so the craftsmanship wouldn't be bad. The table was filled with good dishes and wine, with each one costing over a hundred source stones.

The four girls were one younger than another. Nangong Yun looked to be in her late teens, Meng Yingying looked to be around sixteen, Vivian looked to be around thirteen-fourteen, and the youngest Yin Spirit looked like a little girl that was around ten years old. These four girls had ordered a table of dishes that could be considered a banquet for the palaces of top kingdoms, this made people stunned.

"It's truly delicious!" Nangong Yun was not polite as she picked up a bear claw to gnaw. She spoke with a mouthful of food, "How was walking around today? If you have time tonight, do you want to try out the trial field? No one could even last three minutes in front of the demon dragon today, I think it'll be no problem if we do it together."

"Alright, I wanted to try out the trial field anyway. We'll call big sister Chen Bingyu as well." Vivian said with an excited expression, "The time in the trial field is slowed, so I don't believe that with our strength and an entire night, we won't be able to defeat the demon dragon!"

Meng Yingying's tightly clenched her fists, "That's right, fight the demon dragon!"

The three were filled with fighting spirit.

Yin Spirit was a bit confused.

What kind of thing was actually this fun?

"I have some good things for you!" Meng Yingying revealed a cute smile. She rummaged through her spatial pocket and took out two palm sized things, "This is a good thing big sister Caidie and big sister Yun Yao made in Oldman Small Town. It hasn't been spread yet and only internal people have them."

Feng Caidie, Yun Yao, and Yun Xiao were high level Miracle Commerce members, but they had taken control over Oldman Small Town, so they couldn't come to Miracle City for now.

The current Oldman Small Town had grown, the market there was Miracle Commerce's largest market temporarily. Miracle Commerce also had a research facility there, this thing was something made there.

"This is?"

Vivian took the item and looked it over.

This item was a bit bigger than her palm. It had an metal exterior and was a bit heavy, but the front was two thirds made of mirror.

Vivian could see that.

It wasn't a normal mirror, it was a refined image transfer mirror.

The other third was covered in function keys.

"Although it isn't anything new, it is still very creative!" Meng Yingying seemed like she liked this little toy a lot, "Our Miracle Commerce's first research institute's master Tong Xiaoyu led several experienced researchers to combine the magnetic sound device, the video disk player, the camera, and the communication device together and they shrank it into this little toy. Don't you think it's incredible?"

"Really?" Vivian's little face filled with surprise, "Your meaning is that this little thing can listen to radio broadcasts, receive images, take pictures, and can contact others?"

"That is a miracle that our Miracle Commerce can make. Come a bit closer, I'll demonstrate for you."

The four heads came together.

Meng Yingying pressed the top most button and the screen lit up, activating this item. There were many different buttons and each button had a different function. There were pictures on the buttons, so their functions could be seen.

"This is the magnetic sound device function."

Yingying pressed the magnetic sound device button and the small item listened in on Miracle Commerce's broadcast. It immediately gave the sound of the broadcast and although its signal was a bit weak, they could clearly hear the sound. Other than that, there were two buttons that could be used to change channels.

"This is the video disk player function."

Yingying pressed the video disk player button and the image transfer mirror screen began to change, receiving several different channels, as well as a Miracle Shopping Center channel. This meant with this little thing, people could buy things sitting in their homes.

"This is the camera function."

Vivian pressed the camera button and an image mirror on the back was activated, capturing everything in front and displaying it on the front display. Pressing the button again would instantly capture this image.

"This is the communication device function. After it is activated, do you see this row of small keys? They are digital keys going from 0-9, used to dial communication numbers. There is no difference from a communication device."

Yin Spirit said in a surprised voice, "Too amazing!"

They never thought there would be such a good thing.

"Good, good, very good!" Vivian was also very satisfied, "It really is much more convenient. Does this thing have a name?"

"Un. You can hold it in your hand and it is very convenient, combining the magnetic sound device, the video disk player, the camera, and the communication device together, so of course there is a new name to differentiate it!" Meng Yingying paused and cleared her throat before saying, "After the chief architect Tong Xiaoyu and big sisters Caidie and Yun Yao discussed it, they decided to call it a cell phone!"

"Cell phone, cell phone, this is very appropriate!"

[TL Note: It's literally hand device in chinese, but that translates to cell phone in english.]

They held the Miracle Commerce first generation cell phones and were playing around with it. Yin Spirit also liked it a lot, no one disliked convenient items, not to mention something like the cell phone.

The four of them studied the cell phone while eating the feast. The four of them weren't large, but their appetites weren't small, not leaving anything behind, eating the entire table of delicacies. The one who ate the most was not Nangong Yun, but actually the small Yin Spirit.

Enjoying this kind of extravagant meal for the first time, the source energy delicacies had made her fall. She had the impulse to resign as the sect master and come here to eat every day.

The four of them headed to the trial field after eating and they brought Chen Bingyu along halfway.

The Miracle Commerce's trial field's newly opened demon dragon trial had a high difficulty. With the newly released promotional movie, it attracted many challengers, so the trial field was still filled with people at night.

The demon dragon's strength was not fixed and it would change with a challenger team's strength. No matter who went in to play, it would still be a very large challenge.

The five of them suffered in the trial field, using all kinds of strategies, but they were killed each time by the demon dragon's hands. However, the more challenging something was, the more people wanted to play. When the sun came up and they failed for the hundredth time, they finally left feeling exhausted.

What was there to hesitate over?

This time, Yin Spirit found Chu Tian and firmly expressed her willingness to join Miracle Commerce. She was willing to use the entire sect's power to support Miracle Commerce's development in the Great Zhou Country. Even if it wasn't for the Black Moon Sect, just to eat and play more, she wanted to stay in Miracle City for a long time!

This was simply heaven!

Chapter 474: Crisis in the city

A shocking news passed through the Great Zhou Country.

The Black Moon Sect found the Great Zhou Princess who disappeared eighteen years ago and the Black Moon Sect's master Yin Spirit announced she was searching for the Great Zhou royal clan's ancestral ground, allowing the Great Zhou Princess to accept the royal inheritance. She would re-establish the Great Zhou royal clan and unite the disunified Great Zhou Country.

Although the Great Zhou Country was the same as the other countries, having a slow information transport speed without modern technology, this news just too shocking. It passed through the entire Great Zhou Country in just a few short days and the five spiritual mountains and various large sects were stunned.

Why would Yin Spirit make this kind of decision?

Could it be she was crazy?

Who didn't know that the Great Zhou royal clan was destroyed at the hands of the six mountains, if the Great Zhou royal clan was established again, where would their faces go? Not to mention the common world and resources had been carved out by the sects. If there was suddenly a Great Zhou royal clan, wouldn't this cake be divided with them?

When they encircled the Great Zhou royal clan in the past, the six large sect's sect masters from eighteen years ago attacked together. Five of them were still alive and only the Black Moon Sect's old sect master had passed, being replaced by the new sect master Yin Spirit fifteen years ago.

In other worlds, the Black Moon Sect had skipped a generation and could mediate with the Great Zhou royal clan. What could the other five large sects do?

The Great Zhou royal clan almost became the seventh super power in the Great Zhou Country in the past, so in hearts of the rogue cultivators and small sects, they had a high prestige and appeal. Even now, there were rogue cultivators in seclusion with decent strength that remembered them.

With the Black Moon Sect coming out to revive the royal clan.

Perhaps there would be many followers and supporters in the country!

The retainers and guest officials of the Great Zhou royal clan from eighteen years ago gathered, they were still considered quite a strong force. Adding in the Black Moon Sect's support, they could definitely shake the other five spiritual mountains.

A storm of blood would appear in the Great Zhou Country.

Chu Tian held a short conference with Yin Spirit and Chen Bingyu in Miracle City, discussing how to take down the Great Zhou Country.

Yin Spirit said, "The six spiritual mountains are ancient lineages and most of the other large sects have thousands of years of history, having deep roots and strong power, they will only surrender and cannot be destroyed. Otherwise, not to mention if we can even destroy the mountains and the hundreds of thousands of elite cultivators, we would have to pay a large price to destroy them. Moreover, if the six spiritual mountains are reduced by half, the Great Zhou Country won't have much strength left and we can't stop the Eagle Burial Kingdom's southern march."

"That's logical." Chu Tian nodded, "We are aiming to subdue them and not conquer them, but the few stubborn ones will need to be taken care off to show them a display of authority."

The six Great Zhou spiritual mountains were very strong.

Chu Tian was most worried about the other six spiritual mountains coming together to fight back. If this really happened, it would be a large problem. The six spiritual mountains had around the same strength, each having around two hundred thousand inner sect disciples, which was equal to an army of around two hundred thousand Awakened Soul Realm experts with inherited cultivation techniques.

The five different sects added up to over a million people!

Once the five sects came together and gathered their strength, this was enough to take control of the entire Great Zhou Country. If over two million cultivators were gathered in this fight, this battle force would be enough to even cause trouble for the Eagle Burial Kingdom. This was why the Eagle Burial Kingdom never fought the Great Zhou Country.

Chu Tian did not want to conquer them.

Therefore there was no need for a full scale war.

Now that the Black Moon Sect had completely come together with Miracle Commerce, Miracle Commerce did not need to personally come forward. They would use the Black Moon Sect to raise support for the Great Zhou royal clan, turning this entire matter into an internal matter for the Great Zhou Country. Since it was an internal matter, the sides would consider their benefits and not consider mutual hatred.

This matter of the Great Zhou royal clan being re-established although would anger the five spiritual mountains, it would not give them a sense of danger, so it wasn't likely they would collaborate. In this kind of relaxed situation, Chu Tian could defeat them one by one secretly. Wouldn't the Great Zhou Country be his?

Chu Tian asked, "What opinion does little sister sect master have?"

Yin Spirit said, "There has always been a legend in the Great Zhou Country. After the Great Zhou royal clan was destroyed, there were ruins left behind."

Chu Tian looked at Chen Bingyu, "Was there something like this?"

"This was a secret in the clan. Royal father had many children and I was eleventh in rank, not being a crown prince or the eldest princess. I was born from a consort, so my position wasn't high and I was quite young. Although I have heard it before, I've never seen it." Chen Bingyu shook her head, "Properly speaking, this inheritance was left by my clan's ancestor and is the reason why my clan could rise so quickly."

"That's right, this inheritance is not inferior to that of the six spiritual mountains and only the royal bloodline can open it." Yin Spirit said this and gave a sigh, "It is a pity that the king's inheritance is missing and the six spiritual mountains couldn't find it even after all these years of searching. If this inheritance could be opened, not only would there be hope of reviving the royal clan, the Great Zhou royal clan's followers from the past would swarm back."

Understood.

The first matter was to find the king's inheritance.

The problem now was that even Chen Bingyu did not know what her family's inheritance looked like!

The Great Zhou Country was such a large place, it would be like searching for a needle in a haystack!

Chu Tian considered it for a moment before saying, "There is a person in Miracle City that might be able to help….."

Chu Tian did not even finish speaking.

His cell phone began to ring.

Chu Tian picked up the cell phone. He had just received this item and was not familiar with using it. There was a number on the screen and it was no one else by the young miss.

This is strange.

When he was in a meeting, with the young miss' style, unless something was very anxious or couldn't be solved, she could not disrupt Chu Tian. If it really is something the young miss could not solve, it wouldn't be small."

"I'll be back." Chu Tian picked up the call, "Young miss, what happened?"

Meng Qingwu's voice sounded very serious, "Our forest production park was attacked by someone unknown, it's probably not a small matter. Can you come and take a look?"

Attacked?!

Chu Tian's brows instantly knit.

Fuck, who did it!

Over this period of time, with Chu Tian's conscription, large amounts of factories constructed, helping local businesses, and improving the local's lifestyles, the locals were filled with gratitude towards Miracle City from all these benefits. Therefore, it couldn't have been done by them and it had to be a foreign power.

Miracle Commerce is not too strong, but it was still a forest city and a city under the Eternal Forest's name. If someone dared to move against Miracle City, their background was not small.

Chu Tian had guessed that during Miracle City's development, he would definitely be challenged by other forces. In order to avoid this from happening too soon, Miracle Commerce had always been developing cautiously, not exploring their surroundings and touching other people's benefits. They were focused on developing the War Hounds Plains and the Great Zhou Country.

Who would have thought that even like this, it would still attract the attention of these fellows?

There was no choice, Miracle City's actions have been a bit too big!

Chu Tian turned off the cell phone and returned to the conference room, "There is a sudden situation in the city, I can't return to the Great Zhou Country with you all. But don't worry, I will assemble a group of elites to help you."

Yin Spirit knit her brows, "What is it? If you don't go, how will we find the inheritance?"

"Relax, I've already said that there is a person in Miracle City more suited than me." Chu Tian did not feel like keep it a secret, so he confidently said, "This person is a Druid Prophet, a Chu Sect guest official, a high level Miracle City member, and a Spirit Transformation expert! You don't need to worry, just quickly head back to the Great Zhou Country!"

Druid Prophets could prophesize many things.

Using Yoda's ability to find these ruins was not hard.

Not to mention that Yoda was a Spirit Transformation expert, his strength could sweep through the Great Zhou Country. If Miracle City send a group of experts, there would be no problems on the Great Zhou side.

Yin Spirit and Chen Bingyu returned to the Black Moon Sect first.

The Black Moon Sect had already sent out the news and now the Great Zhou Country was in chaos, so the two of them had to find it as soon as possible. Chu Tian asked Yoda for help and Yoda directly brought two High Priests and ten priests with him.

Chu Tian rushed to the forest accident site.

Meng Qingwu was currently taking care of reparations. Because the attack was too sudden, no one knew who the other side was. However, they were certain that this was a deliberate attack and it was not a forest robber.

Chu Tian asked, "What is the damage situation."

"Around two hundred casualties and a newly opened mine was destroyed."

"Are there any suspects?"

"Yes." Meng Qingwu said, "I think the suspicion on Battle Banner City is the greatest. This is less than eight hundred miles from Battle Banner City and the two towns and large tribes have already submitted to us. Only Battle Banner City has the strength and confidence to attack us."

"Humph, their courage isn't small. It has been a long time since anyone has dared to annoy father!"

"Don't be too careless, Battle Banner City is not weak. But that isn't important, the important thing is that Battle Banner City belongs to the Savage Highlands."

So it was a city with a background!

Miracle City belonging to Eternal City was not fake, but that was just in name. Eternal City would not send troops to Miracle City and Miracle City would not pay tribute to the Eternal Forest. Battle Banner City's situation was different. Battle Banner City was directly established by a power from the Savage Highlands, so they were an important piece for the Savage Highlands in the forest.

"This time is just the beginning." Meng Qingwu was very nervous, "If it really is Battle Banner City, they won't stop at this. Miracle City has just started developing and if a fight occurs with another forest city, our hard work will all go to waste and we'll suffer a heavy loss."

Miracle Banking had used the company's source stones and the gnomes' source stones to help the locals start their businesses.

Once a large scale war erupted.

No matter who won or lost.

It was very likely these large investments would be thrown away!

This wouldn't be just a deep wound for Miracle Commerce, it might paralyze Miracle Commerce!

Chapter 475: Threa

t

As Meng Qingwu expected, the forest production park's mines' attacks were just beginning. Although Miracle Commerce increased the defenses, because there weren't enough people and the other side appeared like the wind, there were many other places that suffered attacks over the next two. The total amount of casualties surpassed eight hundred people.

The direct loss was not serious.

But the negative impact was just too terrible.

It cast a shadow over the glorious Miracle City. With several sneak attacks that couldn't be reacted to, the inside and outside of Miracle City were all worried, which was a large blow to Miracle City's development.

Chu Tian, Meng Qingwu, Meng Yingying, Vivian, and Nangong Yun.

These high level characters were gathered in the City Lord's Fort.

"In the recent attack, there were some pictures caught by the city's surveillance." Meng Qingwu said, "Zero, display the picture."

"Yes."

Zero's voice sounded and a large image transfer mirror came down. There was a moving picture without sound in it and it was the picture of the sneak attack.

The entire attack was caused by several dozen elite soldiers, finishing the fight in just a few minutes and they caused heavy damage to the city. Because the other side attacked too fast, the image transfer mirror's image wasn't that clear and they could only see a few green figures.

Vivian said, "Green skin, large heads, and that cultivation technique. Although you can't see too clearly, it's most likely orcs. Am I wrong?"

"That's right, they're orcs." Meng Qingwu gave a serious nod, "This further confirms our guesses, Battle Banner City is a city ruled by orcs. We can now confirm that this matter is Battle Banner City's plot on Miracle City!"

"Several dozen people could cause this kind of destruction?" Nangong Yun said, "From their techniques, the enemies must all be talented masters, most like most of these people are True Spirit Experts rich with battle experience. For a attack squad to have this kind of power, only other forest cities and strong powers could send them."

"I don't understand, Miracle City is not disrupting Battle Banner City, we are just developing in our own territory. Have we obstructed them or offended them, why are they going against us?" Meng Yingying delicate beautiful face was filled with indignance, while also being filled with confusion, "These people are all tortoises hiding in their shells! We should directly attack Battle Banner City."

Meng Qingwu shook her head. After her little sister has been with Chu Tian this long, she began to handle things just like Chu Tian, "We cannot be swayed by our emotions, not to mention that Battle Banner City's forces are stronger than ours. The current Miracle City does not have the strength to fight them."

"Why?!" Nangong Yun stood up, "Although our armies are newly trained, we have the Source Energy Weapons. Can't we make up for the disparity in strength with those? The surrounding tribes' interests lie with Miracle City, so if we fight Battle Banner City, they will certainly help us. Boss, don't you think so?"

Nangong Yun looked at Chu Tian.

Chu Tian shrugged, "It's better for the young miss to say it."

"Nangong, have you considered it? Miracle City's city defenses haven't been constructed yet, we don't even have a protective barrier. Miracle City is surrounded by mountains, it's enough to defend against local bandits. However, if it met an enemy at the size of the Battle Banner City army, these natural defenses have no use at all. If we choose to fight them, Miracle City will be filled with the flames of war and the surrounding factories, fields, and farms would all be destroyed. At that time, not only would we waste all our efforts, Miracle Banking will go bankrupt, Miracle City will face a financial collapse, and the city will be filled with crisis."

Nangong Yun had a headache hearing this.

This…..What should they do?

Meng Qingwu spoke very logically. The enemy was attacking with a small squad, causing trouble for Miracle City. If they began to fight, the other side would send even more of these small squads and Miracle City wouldn't be able to develop or produce anything.

The money Miracle Banking invested wouldn't be made back in the end.

Miracle Commerce would face the danger of going bankrupt!

"No matter what, we have to avoid a war. Once a war begins, no matter the outcome, we will still be losers. Not to mention that Battle Banner City is the gateway established by the Savage Highlands, so if we attack and occupy Battle Banner City, the Savage Highlands will not sit idle. What I'm more worried about is that this sneak attack is incited by the Savage Highlands. It has to be known that the Savage Highlands are not weaker than the Eternal Forest, but the Eternal Forest will never send troops to help us."

Vivian's brows knit together, "The Elven Council is filled with old blockheads, damn!"

Was Miracle City at its wit's ends?

Meng Qingwu continued to say, "These attacks by Battle Banner City have caused damages, but the losses can be ignored as a whole. They are not just attacking the city, they are trying to create pressure for us. There are rumours in the city now that Miracle City is going to war with Battle Banner City, making the citizens worried. From this aspect, Battle Banner City have achieved their goals."

Meng Yingying asked, "What will they do next?"

"Battle Banner City is obviously aware of our situation, so they are clear that Miracle City cannot fight and Battle Banner City does not have any plans on large scale fights with us, otherwise they wouldn't use this kind of method to make us vigilant ahead of time." Meng Qingwu said this and then paused for a second, "They will certainly find a chance to negotiate and give us conditions. We cannot be impulsive at this time. Whatever conditions they give, we'll bargain back and forth to stall for time for Miracle City. Chu Tian, what do you think about this?"

At this time, there was a guard that rushed in, "Sir City Lord, there is a sealed letter sent for you. It seems to be from Battle Banner City."

"Bring it here." Chu Tian looked over the letter and then ripped it in half, "The young miss is truly insightful. Battle Banner City's City Lord Kao has invited us to Bramble Flower Town four hundred miles away three days from now for a meeting."

"There must be an ambush!" Meng Yingying anxiously stood up and said to Chu Tian, "Those green skinned bastards are ugly and sinister, you can't fall for their tricks!"

"Don't worry, we won't be in danger, this negotiation has to proceed. I will just watch for now and see what these fellows are planning!" Chu Tian said to Vivian and Nangong Yun, "Nangong, come with me for a walk. Young miss, Yingying, and Vivian, keep the city stable."

Meng Qingwu was a bit worried, "Battle Banner City can't compare to the past Green City. Battle Banner City hasn't suffered any problems in the past hundred years, so they are quite strong, I'm afraid you'll suffer a loss."

"The Great Zhou Country's situation is very tense, so Yoda can't come back temporarily. Miracle City really can't take another fight, not to mention with just a single Spirit Transformation Expert, we won't get off cheaply. Since we're troubled to get off not cheaply, why do we need to make it so troublesome?" Chu Tian said this and suddenly said with a smile, "Young miss, relax. I have the spatial energy and the Town Return Scroll, nothing will go wrong even if we can't reach an agreement."

"That is also true."

The young miss nodded.

Vivian slapped the table and stood up, "With big sister Qingwu here, I can't help with the city anyway. I'll come with you."

"I'll also go!" Meng Yingying also volunteered, "I want to see what these ugly monsters can do to us!"

Chu Tian shook his head, "Don't be anxious, I have another important task!"

"The death energy ruins' Undead Towers need to be fixed as soon as possible. No matter how much effort is spent, they must be fixed quickly. This matter will be assigned to Yingying." Chu Tian thought for two seconds before adding, "Vivian, your job is to create an air extracted version of the spaces, it's kind of like the Space Warehouse. I will give you the designs and the young miss will provide resources and support staff. You have to finish this as soon as possible."

A space with the air extracted?

Could it be Chu Tian was thinking of…..

Vivian's eyes lit up, "Yes, I'll definitely work hard to finish it!"

"Young miss, I'll have to trouble you to send two Heaven's Punishment airships to the space above Bramble Flower Town."

Two Heaven's Punishment airships?

That strength might be enough to even flatten a mountain. When they dealt with the Marauders that attacked Oldman Small Town, Miracle Commerce had displayed this terrifying power. Not to mention that it had a long time and Miracle Commerce's technology was growing every day.

Miracle Commerce's second generation energy and weapons were maturing, a portion of the Heaven's Punishment airship's high altitude bombs have been replaced and improved. They were much stronger and more overbearing, this was not a joke. Chu Tian was deploying two Heaven's Punishment airships over the discussion place, was he preparing for war?

Chu Tian saw the young miss' expression and he laughed, "This is just in case anything happens. If the City Lord and high level characters all come, I'll directly blow them up. If Battle Banner City don't have any leaders, I don't believe they'll be able to do anything to us!"

"Would the entire high level personnel appear? Not to mention that if they are all blown up, how will the Savage Highlands react? This would basically be giving them a reason to seize Miracle City!" Meng Qingwu had no way of rejecting Chu Tian's orders, "I will deploy the airships, but I hope you can calm down. This time isn't a joke, if something happens, we'll waste all our efforts and Miracle City will undergo a large crisis."

Chu Tian said in a somewhat dissatisfied voice, "Young miss, we've worked together for this long, you should know that I'm a reasonable person."

Reasonable would be strange!

Meng Qingwu rolled her eyes at him.

Chu Tian stood up and said, "Everyone make preparations."

This incident had slowed the development of the city, so Meng Qingwu had dedicated all resources to constructing city defenses, especially focusing on Meng Yingying constructing the Undead Towers. Nangong Yun had taken a Eye of the Star and closed up, and Vivian was busy constructing her new space.

Although they hoped there would be no war, they still had to prepare.

After three days.

Nangong Yun had absorbed the Eye of the Star and her cultivation which was already quite high reached the 3rd True Spirit Layer. The two of them headed to Bramble Flower Town.

Chapter 476: Negotiations

In a gentle valley in the Forest of Chaos, the shrubs and small trees merged into a rolling lush green, being filled with a soft and gentle feeling. There were various flowers adorning it and countless creatures moving through. Around the center of the valley, there was a small town built from stone.

This town was covered in green moss and another layer of bramble flowers. If one looked at it, it perfectly blended into the surroundings. This was Bramble Flower Town.

Bramble Flower Town was a normal town between Battle Banner City and Miracle City. Just like the countless small towns in the Forest of Chaos, Bramble Flower Town was established to give the surrounding tribes a forest market, facilitating the different tribes needed resources and daily necessities.

Whether it was scale or population, small towns were negligible in the Forest of Chaos.

In the past few days, there was a large matter that occured in the town. On the hills of the four surrounding sides, there were suddenly various coloured flags in the stone. There were tens of thousands of wolf cavalry that charged down the hill like a black wave in this green world, completely surrounding the small town.

It was Battle Banner City's army!

The Bramble Flower Town's people were scared shitless. They wanted to run away in panic, but the Battle Banner City army did not give them any chance. The deadly butcher's knife fell over the locals' heads without mercy, killing the over five thousand people of the town.

These executioners cut off all the heads of the citizens and put them onto pikes at the entrance of the small town, forming two neat rows. It was like a cruel red carpet welcoming guests. The Battle Banner City troops were stationed in two neat rows, with black armour and tumbling flags, giving people a deep and cold sense of oppression.

"Humph, that group of cowards aren't here yet?"

An orc with a head full of small pigtails was sitting in the small town filled with rivers of blood. His naked upper body was covered in wounds and tattoos, with two giant axes covered in death aura on both sides of his large throne. There was a young orc that was as fierce as a cheetah standing at his side. The two of them had a similar face, they should be father and son.

Headless corpses formed a mountain behind the two of them, just like a furnished background used for a photo shoot. Two hundred orc warriors holding blades were standing on both sides and each one had an ice cold gaze. They didn't move at all like they were statues.

"Father, the weak human must be too cowardly to come. Why don't we tell sir City Lord and directly use the Battle Banner City to seize Miracle City? We definitely have an overwhelming superiority in terms of power!"

"It's not that simple Gray." The older orc shook his head, "There are more and more rumours about Miracle City and there are some that are quite exaggerated. For example, they can use a kind of spatial ability to send products from human countries to the forest. We can't confirm these things, but according to the reports from the scouts, Miracle City's changes are indeed very big and they have many unimaginable technology in their hands. Elder brother is very interested in these, so controlling Miracle City is better than seizing Miracle City."

The orc Gray did not ask anything else.

This was because an orc came over and said, "They have come."

Chu Tian and Nangong Yun arrived in Bramble Flower Town and the two of them slightly knit their brows. They never thought Battle Banner City would give such a large display. Not only did they slaughter the entire Bramble Flower Town, they had stationed at least twenty thousand troops.

This scene was a very strong deterrent.

Perhaps no one that came to negotiate would be able to keep their calm.

The might of the Battle Banner City elites were very astonishing. This place was surrounded like an iron bucket, even a sparrow would find it hard to fly out.

"There are only two people?"

The orcs all revealed stunned expressions.

Battle Banner City had sent out twenty thousand elite troops and Miracle Commerce only sent out two people. With a rate of ten thousand to one, this was truly shocking. Chu Tian wore the City Lord's robe, allowing everyone to see that he was the City Lord with one gaze.

"You are Miracle City's City Lord?" The older orc gave a few cold laughs. That fierce appearance and the ground covered in blood with a mountain made of headless corpses would give anyone a terrifying deterrent, "I am Battle Banner City's vice City Lord, City Lord Kao's younger brother Kaledon and this is my son Gray!"

Chu Tian sat down like he had saw nothing. Nangong Yun held a spear in both hands as she stood behind Chu Tian.

The two of them were surrounded by fierce looking orcs, with over ten of them in the True Spirit Realm. Kaledon was a Spirit Transformation Expert in the 7th True Spirit Layer and his son Gray was considered strong among the orcs. Even with the pressure from this lineup, their faces did not change at all.

Chu Tian said in a somewhat dissatisfied voice, "This City Lord came at the invitation of City Lord Kao, but City Lord Kao did not come and instead sent an assistant. You orcs really don't understand manners."

"Roar!"

The surrounding orcs gave wild beast like roars.

Kaledon stopped Gray who wanted to jump out and said with a snort, "The Miracle City's City Lord does have some guts, no wonder those weak gnomes gave the city to you. Miracle City's City Lord is a very straightforward person and the orcs are a very straightforward race, so let's not beat around the bush and I'll speak frankly."

Chu Tian changed into a more comfortable position, "I'm listening."

"The changes in Miracle City recently have been very outstanding and if you don't pick a good side, perhaps you'll be destroyed." Kaledon paused before saying, "Battle Banner City is willing to become Miracle City's friend. As long as our city works together, we can cancel out the desires of the other forces and strengthen our power and sphere of influence."

Kaledon said these words like he truly supported this cooperation and he acted as if Battle Banner City's sneak attack on Miracle City did not happen.

Chu Tian said in a neutral voice, "Conditions?"

"Battle Banner City will take out a hundred thousand elite orcs and will station them in Miracle City, helping City Lord protect the city, deterring enemies and keeping peace in the city." Kaledon slowly said, "This will allow the City Lord to firmly sit in your City Lord throne. Of course as a trade condition, half your city's military expenses will be paid to Battle Banner City. Moreover, Battle Banner City will sent out a competent person to become the vice City Lord of Miracle City, assisting City Lord in governing the city."

"Letting you station an army and having us pay you tribute, do you want to give us empty seats?" Nangong Yun couldn't help glaring at them, "Your mouth smells like farts, like you've been eating shit!"

"How bold!"

Gray raised a battle axe.

Chu Tian was not angry and just smile, "City Lord Kao is truly well intentioned, but Miracle City has a well trained army and does not need City Lord Kao or your worries. Not to mention, Miracle City is a protected city under the Eternal Forest. I think in the entire Forest of Chaos, there aren't many people who won't give the Eternal Forest face."

Kaledon broke out in laughter, "You humans really do like to make jokes, who doesn't know about the old fashioned group in the Eternal Forest? Unless you encroach on their territory, they will never react. As for a chaotic place like Miracle City, those old fashioned people will avoid it, how could they take the initiative to make a move?"

After saying this.

Kaledon's tone became cold, "I'll tell you the truth. There are twenty thousand elites around here, do you think they are just here for show? This place is less than four thousand miles from Miracle City, these twenty thousand elites can attack in less than two hours! Your Miracle City is weak on the inside and the outside, without a city protecting barrier or a strong army, do you think you can block Battle Banner City's attack?"

Chu Tian slightly narrowed his eyes, "You are threatening me?"

"Battle Banner City is sincere in wanting to become Miracle City's friends, but Miracle City dares reject the orcs' goodwill, then the orcs do not mind showing how cruel we can be!"

Nangong Yun began to laugh, "You want to fight Miracle City with just twenty thousand people? Why don't you try it and see!"

"There's no use in fierce words. From the moment you arrived, your lives have already been in the orcs' hands! Surrender is the only choice, otherwise we'll cut your heads off as a sacrifice first before marching our army to attack Miracle City." Gray said with a cold smile, "According to what we know, you have lent all your finances to the surrounding tribes. These twenty thousand people cannot bring down Miracle City, but we just need to destroy your businesses surrounding the city and Miracle City will lose all its investments. There is no need for a second attack at that time, Miracle City will collapse by itself!"

"You green frog!" Nangong Yun jumped up like a cat that had its tail stepped on, "If you dare take a single step into Miracle City's land, we will blow all you green frogs from Battle Banner City into the sky!"

Gray flew into a rage, "What are you depending on to dare insult me?"

"This ignorant human woman, daring to insult an honoured orc warrior, her only end is death whether the City Lord agrees or not." Kaledon said with an even colder voice, "Gray, use the warrior's axe to prove the warrior's honour!"

Nangong Yun cracked her fingers, "Want to fight? Alright!"

"It seems like nothing can be discussed this time." Chu Tian said to Nangong Yun, "How long will it take?"

Nangong Yun looked at Gray and said with a look of despise, "This trash can be taken care of in ten seconds."

"Then ten seconds it is!" Chu Tian took out his cell phone and put in a number, calling the control center, "Heaven's Punishment one and two, after ten seconds, activate the Heaven's Punishment. I repeat, after ten seconds, activate the Heaven's Punishment."

"Heaven's Punishment has received the orders. Beginning the countdown. Ten….."

The orcs were all stunned, what was this fellow doing? Ten seconds, defeating Gray in ten seconds? Even if Gray was young, he was still in the 4th True Spirit Layer!

This Miracle City human woman was in the trivial 3rd True Spirit Layer. This was not just a difference of one layer, it was the difference between the Earth Spirit and Heaven Spirit realms!

Kaledon had felt a strong and strange unlucky premonition, "Gray, do it. Immediately take care of her!"

Chu Tian turned off his cell phone and put it back into his pocket.

Chapter 477: Blown away

With lightning speed!

Gray's figure disappeared from his original spot and turned into a shadow in front of Nangong Yun. An axe fell down at Nangong Yun as fast as lightning.

Peng!

When Gray's spirit energy exploded out, there were two holes that appeared under his feet and a monster source spirit covered in spikes appeared around him. Countless spirit energy thorns stabbed at Nangong Yun in the air, inserting themselves into Nangong Yun's body, turning her into a porcupine.

The wild spirit energy had completely erupted!

Gray flew over Nangong Yun and a giant axe slammed down towards the ground. This attack was not a person using an axe, but rather the axe carrying a person. It blew everything out of its way and even a mountain would have been shattered.

"So fast!"

Chu Tian narrowed his eyes. The moment Gray attacked, Kaledon made a hand signal and ten True Spirit Experts erupted their source spirit. Chu Tian's hand had just reached the sword on his back as various kinds of weapons were all pointed at him. As long as he moved a little bit, he would instantly be cut to pieces.

"City Lord, I don't know what kind of trick you want to play." Kaledon had not moved from his seat, "But I hope that you won't move randomly, otherwise I can't be sure what will happen."

"Alright!"

Chu Tian revealed a faint smile, looking indifferent. He began to count in his heart, nine, eight…..

Nangong Yun released raging flames, instantly sending out the spirit energy spikes fly out. Flames condensed on her hands as she sent a punch out at the axe.

Stupid woman!

Gray gave a cold laugh. His axe blade slightly trembled and a giant's beast roar came out, which was the roar of the weapon spirit. Could flesh and blood be used to resist this Soul Contracting Weapon? Not to mention the weak human body, even an ogre would be turned into mush by this!

The fiery fist and the axe glow collided.

There was a violent explosion in the air.

Gray's charge was stopped and Nangong Yun fell to the ground, taking several steps back. She was still covered in blazing flames and didn't seem injured at all.

What was going on?

This human could use their fleshly body to resist Gray's battleaxe?

This battleaxe was a famous Soul Contracting Weapon in Battle Banner City and Gray was a 4th True Spirit Heaven Spirit Cultivator, this was not something that an late stage Earth Spirit person could block! Not to mention the fact they did it barehanded!

Nangong Yun was bathed in flames and her red hair began to dance. She was like an enraged fire goddess, "You're only this strong? I haven't even used my full strength, come!"

Gray gave an angry and wild roar, just like a wild beast losing control. Nangong Yun's taunt was not just provocation, it was a kind of shaming. The heavy battleaxe was turned over as smoothly as a chisel in a sculptor's hands, but it slammed down like a hammer in a blacksmith's hands, instantly sending out a hundred axe chops that bloomed like a lotus.

"Good move!"

Nangong Yun's foot released flames and her hands turned into giant fists, it was not too showy and wasn't too skillful, but it was very fast and strong. It directly blocked Gray's attack. Although each axe slash was filled with the power to destroy a mountain, a normal cultivator would have been smashed to pieces. Nangong Yun blocked the hundred attacks and wasn't injured at all, which subverted everyone's views.

Gray's battleaxe became faster and faster, but Nangong Yun's fist also became faster.

It wasn't fancy, it was purely contesting one's strength, speed, and spirit energy intensity.

It would have been reasonable if it was a same level fight, but Gray's cultivation was much higher than Nangong Yun's and he had a Soul Contracting Weapon, but the couldn't beat the other side. This couldn't be justified at all.

"Beast Transformation!"

Gray combined with his source spirit, turning his green skin purple black. Large number of blade like spikes grew on his back and his arms. This was not just a change in appearance, it also increased his speed and spirit energy by several times, largely increasing his battle strength.

"Black Spirit, release your power!"

When the battleaxe's weapon spirit was summoned by its master, it suddenly released an intense black light.

This axe that wasn't small became more than five times bigger. The aura Gray released was no longer that of destroying mountains, but rather that of the sun and moon, the aura that could overwhelm all beings!

He clearly had already used his unique skill.

"Good! This is more like it!" Nangong Yun was faced with this wild axe glow, but not only did she not dodge, she instead revealed a look of excitement. Her hands came together and looked like she wanted to catch this attack.

Gray's axe glow exploded, "You're courting death!" This blade was like a formless wave, it was an attack that couldn't be taken no matter what.

Nangong Yun did not have a way to catch this formless blade qi. It would slam into Nangong Yun's body and instantly cut Nangong Yun into halves.

With such a powerful attack, even if this girl had a body as strong as a demon beast, she would not be lucky enough to survive!

Gray was not satisfied with this.

The black battleaxe turned once again.

That wave like strength turned into tens of thousands of arrows. She wanted to completely shred this girl, turning her body into pieces with his attack.

In that instant.

Nangong Yun shouted, "Starlight Immortal Body!" A pale blue starlight surrounded her body, stopping the tens of thousands of attacks. The starlight went from weak to strong in an instant and it completely blocked this intense attack.

Gray's expression changed, as he instantly chopped out again with the axe.

Hong!

Nangong Yun completely reflected the attack and the battleaxe shattered bit by bit. Gray's strong attack was actually sent back.

"You want to kill this granny with this bit of ability?" Nangong Yun flew into the air, standing at an altitude of forty-fifty feet. The surrounding flames became stronger, instantly turning the sky red. A strange and intense energy was released, burning the space around her, as a divine fire phoenix finally appeared, "Now it's my turn!"

The orcs were all amazed.

Everyone had thought that this girl's source spirit was just a fire source spirit.

Who would have thought that Nangong Yun hadn't used her full strength at all. Completely releasing the Fire Phoenix's power now, she disappeared into the Fire Phoenix as she charged at Gray.

"Stop!"

Kaledon angrily roared as he flew into the sky, as his double axes formed a blood red cross in the sky, stopping Nangong Yun from attacking Gray. Kaledon was a Spirit Transformation expert, so although he attacked quickly, it still wasn't Nangong Yun could match.

The cross stopped Nangong Yun's charge. If Nangong Yun was dead set on killing Gray, she would have been injured by this attack. If Nangong Yun wanted to dodge this attack, she wouldn't be able to release her full strength attack and Kaledon could save his child.

Nangong Yun was crazy, she didn't care about it that much. Even if it was great danger, she did not hesitate for a second as she condensed her Fire Phoenix's power to attack.

Gray's body was blown away, as the angry flames turned him to ashes.

Nangong Yun was also hit by the cross slash, instantly being sent flying. Kaledon sent out another slash in his wild rage and Nangong Yun spatted blood into the sky, but she wasn't slashed into pieces.

"Time is up."

Chu Tian revealed a faint smile as his pupils turned white.

The ten orcs did not even know how Chu Tian made his move as he disappeared with a single spatial fluctuation.

Kaledon wanted to chop Nangong Yun to pieces in his rage.

Chu Tian grabbed Nangong Yun with a spatial crack in front of her and instantly moved several hundred meters away. Kaledon angrily released a third attack and released a hundred feet long axe glow into the small town

"Are you alright?"

"Boss, thanks."

Nangong Yun's injuries weren't light. With a flash of flames, she used the Great Nirvana Scripture and instantly cured her heavy injuries. Only the clothing on Nangong Yun's chest was ripped apart and it revealed some spring scenery. She was being tightly held by Chu Tian, revealing a faint blush.

"Don't talk, let's go!"

Kaledon was prepared to slash them into ten thousand pieces.

But with a flash of light, they instantly disappeared on the spot.

What is going on? Where are they!"

Kaledon's son had been killed and he had already lost his reasoning in his rage, so he did not pay any attention to the strange changes. There was an orc pointing in the sky as he shouted in fear, "What is that?"

The entire blue sky was covered in a bunch of black dots. These black dots moved down very fast and they gave off an incredibly strong destructive aura.

"This is bad!"

The orcs did not even have time to react.

The first wave of bombs fell in front of them. An orc expert unconsciously sent a palm out which caused the bomb to explode prematurely. A wave of intense light and strong energy instantly surrounded this orc expert. Half his body was turned to charcoal and the other half was covered in severe burns, sending his body flying several dozen meters away.

The orcs were astonished.

They did not have time to run, put up their defenses, or even think about it.

The countless bombs fell down like a wild storm, each bomb turning into a small mushroom of light and heat. These thousands of bombs fell down onto this area in less than ten seconds.

Countless small mushroom clouds turned into a sea of light and flames.

The Bramble Flower Town was completely swallowed in this destructive might. In just a few minutes, the entire valley was flattened. The intense light could be seen hundreds of miles away and the intense energy fluctuations even woke some of the deeply sleeping fierce beasts.

The earth trembled. The wave went thousands of meters underground, which could even be felt in the underground world.

The Battle Banner City's vice City Lord and the army of twenty thousand elites had all disappeared.

When the energy waves gradually disappeared, thick smoke and ashes filled the sky. The harmonious and beautiful valley had completely disappeared, leaving only a gulf of flames.

There was no need to say it.

This demonstration of Miracle City's strength would shock the entire forest.

Chapter 478: Completely falling ou

t

Two hours after the large explosion, Battle Banner City was thrown into a stir.

The vice City Lord had led twenty thousand elites with an aura that soared into the sky, a sea like killing intent, and hostility flowing to all four sides, but they were instantly blown up without leaving a single speck. A resounding slap landed on the faces of everyone from Battle Banner City, leaving all of them stunned!

Who would have thought that Miracle Commerce would have this kind of courage?

Who would have thought that Miracle Commerce would have this kind of strength?

Who would have thought that Miracle Commerce would do something like this?

This large scale destruction and this precise attack, if it landed on Battle Banner City, wouldn't it be enough to wipe out these orcs?

This explosion did not just destroyed Battle Banner City's elite troops, it also made Miracle City famous in the forest!

The various influences and large tribes all felt a sword appear above their heads. As long as Miracle City wanted it, it could easily wipe out a large forest tribe!

This blast was like a warning to the forest that the weak Green City was already gone and Miracle City had the qualifications, the strength, and the courage to stand as a city in the forest. They shouldn't think that Miracle Commerce was a weak little rabbit, otherwise their fate would be the same as the twenty thousand soldiers from Battle Banner City!

Battle Banner City had not even declared war on Miracle City and they had already suffered such a huge loss. The orcs were filled with shock and rage, as the entire city began to discuss this matter.

Kao was sitting on the dragon bone City Lord throne, currently listening to the scout's reports with closed eyes. The various generals and tribe leaders were all arguing with one another.

"All eliminated and not a single person left? Miracle City truly is ruthless!"

"Have we investigated clearly what methods they used?"

"Where did Miracle City get such a strong power?"

The orcs were all breathless from their rage. They all wanted to lead an army to attack Miracle City, but they were afraid of Miracle Commerce's attack.

"Enough, be quiet!" Kao slowly opened a pair of deep red eyes and there were no changes in his eyes at all, "This matter is not considered a bad matter for us."

Twenty thousand elites being destroyed wasn't bad?

Sir City Lord's little brother had also perished in Bramble Flower Town!

Of course, no one dared to mention this matter and only silently waited for the City Lord to speak.

Kao revealed a faint cold smile, "Using twenty thousand people to exchange for a golden chance is worth it. We can use this reason and officially move against Miracle City, forcing Miracle City to surrender. Even the Elven King will have nothing to say this time!"

"City Lord, you have seen Miracle City's weapon. This kind of bombing cannot be resisted by any army, so our army may be blown to ashes before they even reach Miracle City."

The other orcs and tribe chiefs all nodded.

Miracle City had this kind of strength and weapon, they could even directly attack Battle Banner City. The problem to consider now, wasn't it to find out what kind of weapon it was and how to deal with it? Surround them, but how? Once Battle Banner City's armies gathered, they could be attacked immediately.

"If my guesses aren't wrong, this attack consumes a lot of Miracle City's resources and they can't attack many times. Otherwise, they wouldn't have blown up the twenty thousand troops and directly attacked Battle Banner City." Kao softly said, "We do not need to mobilize the army, we just need to bring some elites among elites and form some commando teams, attacking Miracle City from different directions, destroying their livelihood. We'll make Miracle City's economy collapse and force them to surrender."

This was the right method.

Battle Banner City did not need to clash with Miracle City.

First, Miracle City had a strong airborne weapon and second, Battle Banner City did not want to claim a ruined city. It was unclear what explosive power Miracle City had, so it was too risky to send a large scale army to attack Miracle City. The best method was to use elites among elites, sending out small units to sabotage the enemy.

Battle Banner City had a deep strength, with experts like clouds. Miracle City did not have a method to resist at all.

Kaos did not wait for the others to give their opinion and immediately gave his order, "Have the air forces patrol Battle Banner City twenty four hours and have the city protection barrier prepared to deploy at any second. Also, have a hundred elite soldiers from each army picked out to form a three thousand men commando team, and have them attack Miracle City quickly and ruthlessly. Don't directly fight with Miracle City's forces, retreat when they attack and attack when they retreat, hitting them when they're tired. We'll attack all their production fields and create fear and chaos!"

...

Miracle City's side, Meng Qingwu had always been paying close attention to Bramble Flower Town's situation. When she knew that Chu Tian gave the order for the bombing, Meng Qingwu felt her heart sink and knew that the negotiations were off.

"Zero, immediately pass down the orders. Close all the production areas outside the city and immediately have the army prepare themselves to guard against Battle Banner City's sneak attack!"

"Understood vice City Lord!"

Meng Qingwu prepared everything and she returned to the city's Transfer Tower.

Chu Tian was already back with Nangong Yun. Chu Tian immediately called out when he saw Meng Qingwu, "Young miss, how are the fireworks I set off?"

"What are you doing?" Meng Qingwu had a serious face of complaint, "Why did you directly blow them up! Didn't we already say that even if the other side gave excessive conditions, we would pretend to agree first to buy time for Miracle City? We can at least make a few more Source Energy Bombs in the factory if we had another week. Directly falling out with them, we'll be in a large amount of trouble."

"Big sister Qingwu, you don't know how hateful those fellows were!" Nangong Yung was already wearing a new set of clothes, "I felt boss did the right thing, we should blow up those bastards!"

Meng Qingwu rubbed her forehead, "This direct blast, there will be at least three consequences. First, we will have revealed the Heaven's Punishment power beforehand, which means we can't directly attack Battle Banner City anymore. Second, the Eternal Forest will have a strong resentment to us. Not only will they not send an army, they will also stop the Elven King from making a move. Third, Battle Banner City has obtained a reason because of this and the war between the two cities can occur ahead of time! This will force us to move very passively."

Battle Banner City had to fear the power behind Miracle City. Although the Eternal Forest was just in name, the Elven King had given the city to Chu Tian and appointed his little daughter as the vice City Lord, meaning that the Elven King supported Chu Tian very much.

In other words, if the two sides start fighting and Battle Banner City took the initiative to attack Miracle City.

With his relation to Vivian, the Elven King could bypass the council and directly come to help.

Even if it was the Elven King alone, he would be able to create quite a strong deterrent to Battle Banner City. After all, he was a peak expert from the Eternal Forest.

This all changed with this one explosion!

Although Battle Banner City had caused trouble first for Miracle City, Miracle City did not have any evidence.

This time Battle Banner City came to discuss with Miracle City in the name of cooperating, but Miracle City killed an entire army of twenty thousand. This gave Battle Banner City a justification to invade Miracle City!

The Miracle City City Lord had set up a trap.

Killing twenty thousand elites and the vice City Lord!

This reason was more than enough!

With how stubborn the Elven Council was, to protect the Eternal Forest's fame, not only will they not send an elven army, they would even stop the Elven King from making a move. On the surface, it seemed like Miracle Commerce gained a lot, but it was actually pushing them off a cliff. They would meet a terrible death by being even slightly negligent.

"Blowing up the twenty thousand troops of Battle Banner City also brings quite a bit of benefits. First, it will be a heavy loss to Battle Banner City, dropping their confidence and stopping them from sending large armies temporarily. Second, it will increase Miracle City's morale, restoring the local tribes' faith in Miracle City. Third, Miracle City will truly become a forest city, deterring all the medium and small tribes around. Battle Banner City can't attempt to pull in the small forces around to surround Miracle City."

Meng Qingwu found that discussing this with Chu Tian was useless. Since they had been blown up already, there was no use mentioning it, "If I was Kao, after experiencing this destructive attack from Miracle City, there is no doubt I wouldn't send a large scale army. But he would definitely investigate while sending elites on sneak attacks, so how should we deal with this?"

The small harassment Battle Banner City had made against Miracle City had caused quite a bit of trouble.

With how big the matter is now, Battle Banner City will definitely increase their forces a hundred times. Miracle City's production cannot continue and there was the danger of it being completely destroyed.

The so called easy to dodge a bright spear, but hard to dodge a hidden arrow.

If the two armies directly fought each other, Meng Qingwu would not need to fear them. The problem was that the forest geography was too complex and this kind of commando attack was not easy to defend against.

"Relax, I have a way. How is Yingying's work going?"

"The Undead Towers have already been made."

"Good, let's go and see."

Meng Yingying over the past few days have been busy directing the construction of the Undead Towers. The blueprints were made by Chu Tian and with the environment's support, Meng Yingying can simulate a death attributed source spirit, so she could be personally involved.

Chu Tian had made major changes to the Lich's Undead Tower. A main Undead Tower was placed in the center of the undead ruins and other Undead Towers were scattered around Miracle City. The main tower would would send energy through the underground spirit veins, forming a protective barrier around Miracle City.

Of course the protective value of these Undead Towers were not big.

This was because the Undead Towers were distributed too sparsely, not enough to create a defensive area around Miracle City. Meng Qingwu was very confused by Chu Tian's design, this design couldn't even compare to the Lich's design from before. It directly gathered large amounts of energy in the Undead Tower, sending it into the sky and directly attacking an area.

Meng Qingwu was confused, but she didn't ask any questions.

These Undead Towers were arranged by Chu Tian and Chu Tian's things wouldn't be worse than the Lich's, so he must have his own reason for arranging things like this.

Chapter 479: Undead radar

The ring of mountains surrounding Miracle City was already named the Miracle Mountain Range.

The Miracle Mountain Range was relatively circular, having a circumference of six thousand kilometers. The height of some prominent peaks could even reach above ten thousand meters, with larger mountains reaching lengths of over a hundred kilometers. Currently most of the locals and tribes that had relations with Miracle City were inside this Miracle Mountain Range.

The outsiders preparing to enter Miracle City, most of them brought their tribes to the Miracle Mountain Ranges. Most of the mines, factories, and farms Miracle City worked to operate with the locals were in this area. Therefore Miracle City and the Miracle Mountain Ranges were inseparable and they could exist like a little kingdom.

Miracle City only developed inside this area and did not stretch their hands outside, or properly speaking, they didn't move onto the benefits of any other powers.

They never thought that they wouldn't be able to avoid a fight even though it was like this.

Miracle City had not been developing for long, therefore the city's defenses haven't been built yet, so they were especially weak right now. It was currently the easiest time to take Miracle City. So the Miracle City administration needed to think of a way to strengthen the city's defenses.

The method Chu Tian thought of was the Undead Tower.

Most of this world's terrain was influenced by the large amount of spirit veins. The Miracle Mountain Ranges were a product of several veins coming together.

After Chu Tian transformed the Undead Towers, they now constructed a main tower first to draw the death energy out like well from a water. The Undead Towers Chu Tian made were like water storage tanks and the spirit veins in Miracle City were like water pipes, allowing the water to flow.

There were Undead Towers on the main peaks of the Miracle Mountain Range, allowing the spirit veins to act as passages to fill the towers with large amounts of energy.

The energy inside the death ruins were very strong, so strong that it could be described with water carrying away the ship. The energy inside the death ruins were enough to almost destroy Miracle City, but it could also be used to protect the entire city.

The Undead Towers could control the undead, but there was a limit to its range. If there was only an Undead Tower constructed on the death ruins, the undead could only move around on the death ruins, which would give them very little use.

Now that the Undead Towers have already been optimized, not only has the corrosiveness and pollution been reduced, Chu Tian could create large amounts of Undead Towers in the Miracle Mountain Range and surround Miracle City. This would form a defensive layer around Miracle City and it would allow them to use the undead as workers to extract large amounts of ores from the mountain ranges, wouldn't it be perfect for both uses?

Currently in the Miracle Mountain Ranges.

There were several people standing on a peak. Their eyes were filled with a green landscape, a roaring waterfall, steep cliffs that were like sharp spears, and a sea of clouds covering everything in a dense valley. This kind of complicated terrain, although it was hard to traverse, if an enemy was strong enough, Miracle Commerce wouldn't be able to find them.

"This mountain woods is the forest production park built by Miracle City and the locals." Meng Qingwu looked at the uninhabited wilderness in front of them, "Although the Miracle Mountain Range do not have any wild animals, there are quite a few demon beasts, so we can't directly open the forest up. So, the factories have been built against the cliff or into the cliff, therefore we can't see outside clearly."

The Miracle City surrounding mountains were big enough, had many resources, and didn't have any strong animals living there, so it was a very suitable place. However, for the Battle Banner City experts, it wasn't hard for them to destroy this kind of place.

The enemies are open and I am hidden. Once they broke something, they would immediately fall back into the valley and Miracle City wouldn't be able to find them.

That's right.

There were too few people.

It would be good if there were more Green Protectors in the Green Religion.

These strength of these battle puppets weren't bad, almost reaching the True Spirit Realm, only they were slow. However, it was enough to use them as protective tools. It was a pity that even the Green Religion at its peak only had two-three thousand of these Green Protectors. They could only be used to protect the main city areas and tunnels.

What about now?

Perhaps even the city area couldn't be protected!

Miracle City had such a large surrounding mountain and outside were all forests, so how many Green Protectors were needed to guard all of this?

When Chu Tian was thinking about something, Meng Yingying ran over and reported, "Chu Tian, it's done. Go and take a look!"

There was a cave behind them and there was a tall tower in the center of it. Looking at the appearance and aura of the tower, this was an Undead Tower. Only the Undead Tower was made with Chu Tian's changed design, so the aura released was not cold or sinister. There were also many translucent spirit creatures surrounding the tower.

Meng Qingwu could vaguely feel a kind of energy coming from the Undead Tower. This energy should be used to control undead creatures, so as long as there is an Undead Tower in this area, the undead creatures could move for a long time. Of course Miracle Commerce didn't have many undead creatures on hand, so these spirits surrounding the Undead Tower were recently made.

Nangong Yun curiously looked at the Undead Tower, "Boss, why did you place the Undead Tower here?"

"The Undead Tower itself has a defensive ability. It can release its energy to create an attack at a critical moment and it can also use large amounts of energy to fuel large amounts of undead in battle. If we can build another few thousand of these Undead Towers in the next year or two to form a giant array, the effect would not lose to any city protective barriers."

"City protective barriers?" Meng Qingwu's eyes lit up, "So that means that these Undead Towers were constructed to protect the city?"

For cities in the Forest of Chaos, whether it was a city in the forest or underground, the city walls did not have any meaning. Since it couldn't defend against attacks or demon beast waves. However, most competent cities would have their own protective city barrier, which would cover most of the city to keep it safe.

It was very difficult to arrange this kind of large scale protective barrier.

This was even bigger than the protective mountain arrays in Great Zhou.

This required large amounts of time and effort.

Green City at its peak could use the Green Protectors to create a barrier without a single hole, thus keeping the entire city safe. However because the Green Religion was weakened, they could only create barriers in the main pathways. They couldn't cover the entire city or the entire mountain range.

"It's too late to build a barrier now." Meng Qingwu knit her brows, "With our current supply of people and resources, it would be hard to build it even in a year! Slow aid cannot help in an emergency!"

"Young miss, there isn't a problem with my head, of course I'm not thinking of building a barrier to keep out the enemies." Chu Tian revealed a faint mysterious smile as he walked beside an Undead Tower, "These Undead Towers have a very important ability after being changed that can make up for our present weak point."

"What ability?"

"Surveillance!" Chu Tian said, "Do you see the spirits surrounding the Undead Tower? These are all spiritual body undead that I have deliberately added in."

Everyone looked up at the Undead Tower.

There were large amounts of spirits quickly moving around the Undead Tower, just like a protective layer around the tower itself.

Chu Tian continued to explain, "These spirits do not have a physical body, so they have the ability to find a being's power and life energy through spiritual waves. They are especially sensitive to living beings."

"Could you be saying..." Meng Qingwu looked at the Undead Tower, "They can use their abilities to survey the entire area?"

"That's right, this ability is increased by over ten thousand times with the Undead Tower. In a several hundred mile range, as long as any living beings enter, especially those with great strength or large amounts of enemies, the Undead Tower will be able to sense them." Chu Tian pointed at the Undead Tower, "This is a kind of Spiritual Radar system. As long as it connects to a normal Smart Brain, the subtle changes can be quickly deciphered and intelligence on the enemy can be sent to us."

The energy of the Undead Tower clashed with the energy inside living beings.

An Undead Tower could sense the presence of a living being within a thousand miles. Once the Battle Banner City experts enter, the Undead Tower will be able to monitor them. It doesn't matter if they hide in a ravine or a cave, even stealth abilities will hardly have any use. Not to mention that they would have to show themselves eventually and can't keep hiding.

With Smart Brain's powerful analysis ability, it can accurately determine their location.

Chu Tian then said, "The little fox's Divine Eye can also play a use. If the other side's stealth ability is too strong, as long as we can find their general area and have the little fox look over it with the Divine Eye, any kind of stealth ability will be useless. They will be revealed to us like they are standing in the light!"

"Good, great! This has solved the urgent issue!" Meng Qingwu thought of something else and said, "Our gnome research lab has recently created a living beast puppet, which can help increase our defensive abilities."

"Living beast puppet?"

Chu Tian and the others didn't know what it was.

Meng Qingwu took out a small bird the size of an egg from her chest. This bird didn't seem any different from a living being and small differences could only be seen by looking closely.

This right eye was cold and empty.

"This puppet being has a camera installed and its head is controlled with a Shaman gu insect, so we can freely control it. Each one is equal to a moving surveillance item. There are several hundred of these puppet birds and puppet rabbits, so they can be sent into the entire forest area. We can use them to scout when we discover any strange circumstances."

"Wa, this is great!" Nangong Yun felt that the city's warning system was simply perfect, they didn't need to chase after the enemies butts any longer, "What can those idiots do to us now! They are walking right into a trap!"

Chu Tian clapped his hands, "Alright, since we have finished everything, everyone should quickly prepare. Nangong, work hard over these next few days. I will gather Miracle City's experts and you will lead them to chase out the mice. We need everyone to see our abilities and increase the confidence in Miracle City!"

"No problem!"

A fight was about to begin again!

Nangong Yun wished for this kind of work!

Chapter 480: Ambush

Meng Qingwu quickly adjusted a Smart Brain. When the Smart Brain was connected to the Undead Tower, the Undead Spiritual Radar was released. The Undead Tower's main tower extracted energy from the death ruins and this energy was sent to the various peaks through the spiritual veins.

These Undead Towers on the peaks would extract the energy and after it was transformed with the source energy array, the detection abilities of the souls would be increased. Finally it would reach a frequency of once every two seconds, with a range of several hundred miles.

The data collected was just too much!

A normal spiritual body wouldn't be able to process it.

The abilities of Miracle Commerce's Smart Brain was displayed. The Smart Brain was a spiritual body and after it was connected to the Undead Tower, the Smart Brain gathered the data and processed large amounts of it, forming a picture. After several hours of data gathering, the life form distribution map of the Miracle Mountain Range was completely displayed.

The life forms that were beneath the 7th Awakened Soul Layer were ignored, getting rid of 99% of the life forms on the map. The rest of them were processed by the Smart Bran and finally the map was formed. Once this map was formed, if any new life forms came in, the Undead Radar would certainly find them.

Demon beasts did not have the same wave as intelligent beings, so they just needed to focus on the waves of intelligent life forms.

In the restaurant in the City Lord's Fort, Chu Tian was having a meal with everyone.

"Yingying, eat a bit more, your chest will be bigger!"

"Pei, I don't need it!"

Yingying said these strong words, but she swallowed it in two-three bites before eating the high quality spiritual rice the elves produced in large bites, just like nothing had happened. Chu Tian was laughing watching from the side and the others all had smiles, instantly causing Yingying's face to turn red.

Nangong Yun revealed an envious look, "I only find out now that boss is with Yingying now, I really envy you! I'm already twenty years old and I still haven't found anyone."

"You're also worried about this? I only thought that the young miss would…."

Before Chu Tian finished, the young miss stuffed a chicken leg into his mouth while glaring at him, "Eat your food, don't speak nonsense!"

"I am also a woman alright." Nangong Yun was a bit dissatisfied with Chu Tian's words, "Which girl in the world doesn't wish to find a good husband? Yingying, I'm too envious of you, why can't I have met the boss first? I think that no one wants me, I won't be able to get married. I might as well ask boss to take me in as a concube, I don't care about status at all."

Pu!

Chu Tian almost spat out his chicken leg.

Meng Yingying was also stunned.

This female devil truly had a big mouth. Everyone already thought of this, but no one thought that these kinds of words would be said. Nangong Yung was still a was still a beauty and other than being a bit fierce, she still conformed to the continent's sense of aesthetics, how could no one wants her?

Nangong Yun saw everyone's expression and she seriously said, "I've very serious, Yingying, will you shut me out? I am completely loyal to boss, I can go to the bedroom, stay in the main hall, and can even fight!"

Meng Yingying scratched her head and said in a somewhat awkward voice, "Our relationship is this close and we're already sworn sisters, how could I shut you out? I always thought that everyone living together is best. Chu Tian, what do you think?"

"Damn. Even Yingying is saying this, what else can I say. I'll just….." At this time, the young miss' fiery eyes swept over and it was like Chu Tian's lips were nailed shut. Yingying was soft hearted and was embarrassed to say anything else in front of everyone, so he could only give an embarrassed smile, "Eat first, eat first. We'll discuss this issue later."

Nangong Yun was a bit disappointed.

But she had a lot of nerve, so she didn't mind too much.

When everyone was in a bit of an awkward mood, there was suddenly a voice that rang through the restaurant, "City Lord, vice City Lords, Second Miracle has already created a life form map with the Undead Radar, do you wish to see it?"

This Second Miracle was the newly send Smart Brain.

This defense system was completely made with the Second Miracle. Although Second Miracle's strength and limits couldn't compare to Zero, it was still a complete Smart Brain, so there were no needs to doubt its ability.

Meng Qingwu stood up, "Let us see it first."

"Understood, vice City Lord."

Zero voice had just fallen when several image transfer mirrors came together, forming a giant mirror. First the image of the surrounding mountain ranges appeared before different dots of light appeared on the image.

Nangong Yun and Meng Yingying saw the dense group of lights and they felt dizzy, feeling a bit of fear at how dense it was. Perhaps only a fellow with super computing ability like Smart Brain could analyze it!

Zero's emotionless voice rang out again, "This is the life form map of the Miracle Mountain Range and the intensity of the light shows strong they are. With the data we've obtained, there are five thousand six hundred and thirty one beings with power in the True Spirit Realm!"

"Impossible!" Meng Yingying put down her silverware, "How could there be so many True Spirit Experts, you must have made a mistake."

"Smart Brain is never wrong." Meng Qingwu shook her head. Although she was shocked by this amount, she still believed Smart Brain's calculations, "Most of those are probably demon beasts."

"Yes, vice City Lord." Zero soft voice slowly echoed, "From the survey data, there are five thousand and seventy two non human True Spirit Experts. According to the grading, they should be grade three demon beasts. There are seven of them that are high level grade three demon beasts."

Everyone revealed shocked expressions.

High level grade three demon beasts were equal to Spirit Transformation True Spirit Experts.

There were actually over five thousand grade three demon beasts equivalent to True Spirit Cultivators hidden in the mountains and there were seven Spirit Transformation level demon beasts? This was too shocking! Miracle City was in a good position, the activity of demon beasts were low, and there weren't any super powerful wild beasts, but even like this, the demon beast population in the Forest of Chaos surpassed their expectations.

"This is too shocking!" Meng Yingying said, "These demon beasts could destroy Miracle City already!"

Chu Tian smiled, "What are you worried about? The Miracle Mountain Range is not inferior in size to Qing State's Green Ridge, what does it count for if these mountains have a few thousand grade three demon beasts? This is after all the Forest of Chaos!"

"This also means that there are over five thousand True Spirit Experts?" Meng Qingwu gave a nod of affirmation to this number. The Undead Radar Chu Tian made should be reliable, "This makes looking for a target easier. It's likely the enemy will send out large amounts of True Spirit Experts and when these people enter, we can immediately monitor them. Enter the highest alert state right now."

"Yes!"

Zero left.

Meng Qingwu revealed a rare smile, "With this Undead Radar in hand, Miracle City's security is raised at least ten times!"

"We still can't be negligent." Chu Tian reminded, "There are many ways to cover up a life signature in this world and there are some dark creatures and undead creatures that don't need to hide. If we only monitor an area with life energy signals, we are still a bit limited."

There was no perfect thing in this world.

This surveillance system was enough to make Meng Qingwu pleasantly surprised!

After the Undead Radar operated for a day, Second Miracle had gathered more and more data, even showing the actions of most of those demon beasts. At this time, there was a strange intrusion on the map that immediately caught Smart Brain's attention.

A second one, a third one..

At least several dozen points were being invaded.

There were two hundred True Spirit Experts and two thousand and eight hundred peak 9th Awakened Soul Layer Experts. This was definitely an elite troop and it was led by a Spirit Transformation Expert.

"The target has appeared!"

"They really did use this kind of method?"

"Since they've entered the net, they can't blame us." Meng Qingwu gave an order to Zero, "Pay attention to their movements while Nangong Yun moves with the special unit, keeping communications with headquarters at all time."

"Alright!"

Nangong Yun quickly left.

Meng Qingwu locked onto the strongest group made of twenty five people, including one Spirit Transformation Expert, who should be the leader of this expedition. Whether it was his identity or the threat he posed, there was no doubt this fellow would be a key target.

"Little fox, take a look!"

Chu Tian used the little fox's Divine Eye surveillance. The Divine Sense sweep could find targets that were hidden and it could judge the other side's battle strength, allowing them to form a better battle plan.

"They're charging at the airship factory."

"Could it be that they've already found out it was the airships that wiped out those twenty thousand people?" Meng Qingwu was surprised by these people heading towards the airship factory, but she wasn't surprised for long as she immediately sent the information over to Nangong Yun, "They are passing through a canyon, it's the best place to ambush them. Nangong, it's up to you. Remember, you have to be careful, there is a Spirit Transformation Expert among them."

Nangong Yun obtained the detailed information and was filled with confidence. She held a portable Source Energy Cannon and said with an arrogant look, "Looking down on Miracle City? You'll have to pay a heavy price today! Everyone, follow me!"

This was a group of one thousand elites.

Not only were there fifty True Spirit Experts, there were Shamans, Druids, and Green priests, who were all people with rich battle experiences. This was definitely a very powerful team.

With Nangong Yun's lead, everyone began to move quickly.

The thousand people placed four new cannons on the sides of the canyon and also placed large amounts of mines, as well as many other various forms of preparations. Several hundred Storm Rifles were all waiting for orders with their muzzles aimed down.

The Battle Banner City people never imagined that their carefully planned route would become the gates of death in the end!
