153: Chapter 153 Entering Lesserlo City

Wei He, thinking of this, knew that his reliance for doing so was Du Yu, that fellow who could turn stone into gold. He immediately brought up Zhang Yong's location on the screen and saw that Zhang Yong was still in Nankang Golden Valley, receiving heavenly materials and earthly treasures sent from all directions. The corners of Wei He's mouth couldn't help but curl upward; once these treasures were delivered to Du Yu's mouth, there was no telling what kind of surprises he would give to Wei He.

As time passed, the green radiation layer on the ground of Laiseluo City slowly faded, gradually returning to the earth's original color. The entire area that had been radiated by the green radiation layer, whether plants or animals, was completely incinerated, leaving only a patch of ruins and wreckage that made people sigh incessantly upon seeing it.

Those who had already surrendered before the great battle were now incredibly grateful that their decision had been so correct.

"I didn't expect the Lord to be so powerful. Look at the power of this destruction; tsk tsk tsk, even a magician of the Saint Archmage level is only so-so!" Mage A walked in the ranks entering the city, looking at the broken walls and ruins throughout the city, unable to help but exclaim.

"Hey, what are you saying? Even a magician of the Saint Archmage level wouldn't have this power. The Lord is even more powerful than Emperor Alexander!" Mage B hurriedly corrected.

"Right, right. Fortunately, we surrendered in advance; otherwise, we probably wouldn't even have corpses left now. Look at this city, there isn't a single living thing left, and even the corpses are gone!" Mage C looked around, speaking with a face full of terror... Emperor Alexander, in a ruined house nearby, listened to the marching troops mocking him so brazenly, his teeth gnashing in anger. He wished he could rush out immediately and execute these traitors on the spot. However, he still held back; after all, a little impatience ruins great plans. Right now, these few small fries weren't worth his personal action.

Wei He and Tang Xiaowei sat in the carriage, looking at the scene outside. Wei He couldn't help but sigh, "It seems I must have the engineers repair the buildings here as soon as possible, so that the displaced commoners can return home early!"

"It's already become like this; what are we still doing entering the city? Can't we just go back directly? Anyway, no one can stop you now!" Tang Xiaowei looked at Wei He with a face full of doubt and asked in confusion.

"You've been an assassin for so long; where do those rich people like to put their money the most?" Wei He didn't answer Tang Xiaowei's question but instead asked back. In his heart, he thought of the scene where the Spy disguised as himself was taken into a secret room by Carlos, as well as the spies he had sent out who had discovered the secret rooms of various princes and ministers in Laiseluo City, which hid a large amount of gold, silver, and treasures. These treasures could help him in his next steps.

"Of course they put it in secret places. Now that this place has been beaten into ruins by you, can you still find them?" Tang Xiaowei's brow furrowed slightly as she asked with some confusion.

"Hehe, I have my own ways!" Wei He said proudly. After all, before attacking Laiseluo City, he had already recalled all the spies. Now, entering Laiseluo City was just right for those spies who had infiltrated the homes of the princes and ministers to find their gold, silver, and treasures.

"Tsk, it better be as you say, so we can leave this world a bit sooner!" Tang Xiaowei curled her lip and said with a look of disdain.

While passing a ruined house, a gust of wind blew up, lifting the carriage curtain. Emperor Alexander, inside the ruined house, clearly saw Wei He's face. His eyes instantly bulged, and his mouth hung wide open in a look of disbelief.

"Wei He, it's Wei He! He's actually still alive; he didn't die, he actually didn't die!" Emperor Alexander said excitedly.

"What? Wei He is already dead; how could he still be alive? Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" Grand Duke James stared at the distracted Emperor Alexander and asked.

"I saw Wei He just now; he was sitting in the carriage, the one that just passed by!" Emperor Alexander pointed with a trembling finger at the receding carriage.

"Impossible. When I returned to the Laiselo Temple from outside, I saw very clearly that Grand Duke William had sucked all the moisture out of Wei He's body. Wei He had already become a dried corpse; it's impossible for him to still be alive!" Austin looked at Emperor Alexander with disdain and sneered.

"Whether it's true or not, won't you know if you go take a look! No wonder these Puppet Beasts can attack without a master; it turns out Wei He didn't die at all!" Emperor Alexander said coldly.

"Since he's not dead yet, then it's just as well; we can avenge Grand Duke William!" Grand Duke James had always trusted Emperor Alexander implicitly. Hearing the news that Wei He was still alive, an excited expression appeared on his face.

Amidst the constant jolting of the carriage, Wei He finally arrived at the entrance of the Laiselo Temple. However, the temple at this time had already become a field of ruins, with bricks, stones, and rubble everywhere.

"Oh, is this the treasure you were talking about? It looks like it'll have to be dug for a long time!" Tang Xiaowei looked at the ruins before her and couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed.

"This place will be cleared out soon. Let's head to the Lords Mansion first; it's quite far from the Laiselo Temple, so it shouldn't be affected by the explosion!" Wei He said with a smile.

Groups of laborers, under Wei He's summons, poured into Laiseluo City in a steady stream. Under the direction of the engineers, they slowly cleared the entire city. At the same time, a group of soldiers was drawn from the army and, led by spies, began to excavate the secret rooms of those princes and ministers.

In the Lords Mansion at night, a table was set in the main hall. On the table were various delicacies of this world, and beside them was fine wine brought by Xie Yanwen from Nankang Golden Valley. Ravich and Huang Yichen sat on one side, drinking and chatting, while Zhang Yong was stroking the Green Teapot in his hand while explaining the differences between heavenly materials and earthly treasures to Du Yu. Tang Xiaowei and Linlin sat on either side of Wei He, drinking happily.

"They're all here. These are Wei He's generals, right? He was able to fight his way here relying on these few, I suppose. I wonder which one of them used that world-destroying move to actually kill Grand Duke William?" Grand Duke James hovered above the Lords Mansion, silently watching the people drinking in the room.

"Who cares who it is? As soon as Emperor Alexander returns, we'll take action. While their defenses are relaxed, we'll take them down in one fell swoop. With the three of us joining forces, there are few in the entire continent who can block us. Even if he could kill Grand Duke William, he can't block the attack of the three of us, not to mention we have the lost bracelet!" Austin replied coldly upon hearing Grand Duke James's words.

"Mm, that's right. I didn't expect that to deal with a little thief like Wei He, we would actually need the three of us to join forces and even use a sacred object like the lost bracelet. It's truly using a sledgehammer to crack a nut; it's too easy on Wei He!" Grand Duke James nodded and echoed.

The ruins of the Laiselo Temple were deserted; the laborers clearing the ruins had long since gone back to rest. Emperor Alexander, relying on his intuition, found the spot directly above his secret room. A streak of golden light shot out from his finger, and with a boom, a large hole was blasted open in the ruins. Below the hole was precisely the underground secret room built using Magic Crystals.
