Shennong Dao Master

Chapter 1835 - 7: Damn, They’re Coming for My Disciple! (Part 3)

"Hiss!"Someone flew out of the Boundary Boat, took out a treasured gourd, and poured it over the drill.

Seven Moon Rivers quickly wrapped around the drill, trying to stop the drill of the Boundary Boat.

"Boom!" As Yin and Yang intertwined, a piercing roar suddenly erupted.

The drill suddenly dimmed rapidly, cracks like canyons appeared on it, debris flew everywhere, and more than half of the seven Moon Rivers were annihilated.

"Damn, another one is scrapped."

"This is really damn strange, even top-grade Origin Yin Yang Drills can be scrapped nine times... Luckily, I brought more, otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to return."

Lord Lan Ji cursed as he put away the gourd.

He was a lord-level Mechanical Master.

A year ago, he received a task from the Empire and hurriedly rushed to the Bishui Star Land along the Sea Passage to open the passage between the Sixth Boundary Mountain and the Fifth Boundary Mountain.

The trait of the Stacked Realm Mountain is that it’s bottomless in all directions, all hidden in the void.

So they could only choose a weak spot to dig a tunnel.

And they could only dig from the Phenomenon Layer; if they dug from the Dao Display Layer or the Dao Ancient Layer, who knows how many years it would take to get through.

Even so, Lord Lan Ji still felt a tremendous headache.

The damned Stacked Realm Mountain, due to continuously transforming void energy for mountain cohesion, doesn’t have any clear weak points!

The previously determined patterns became inaccurate after collapses occurred.

He dug for a whole year, scrapping nine top-grade Origin Divine Weapon drills, only then did he manage to dig a small path through the Sixth Boundary Mountain.

Lord Lan Ji quickly transformed the Boundary Boat to start exploring the surrounding directions.

Unexpectedly, he found the starry sky before the Sixth Boundary Mountain was surprisingly clean.

"What’s going on? Didn’t they say the Sixth and Seventh Mountains collapsed, filling the space between bases with mountain debris?"

"Is the intelligence incorrect?"

Lord Lan Ji tentatively contacted people from Tao Yang Star Land and found that the Star Mirror had a signal here as well.

Evidently, the communication star chain of Tao Yang Base was also effective.

"Strange!"

Lord Lan Ji exclaimed, quickly headed for Tao Yang Star Land to deliver the goods.

He had to hurry; the Boundary Mountain would mend itself, and the mountain path he opened wouldn’t be stable. If he returned late, it would become a solid metal plate again.

"Buzz~"

Since the starry sky was clean and tidy, the route was clear. Lord Lan Ji could accelerate without a care.

It only took him five days to fly to Tao Yang Star Land.

"Who is Zhao Xing? Inform him to come out and receive the goods!"

Lord Lan Ji’s Boundary Boat hovered above the Star Land, continuously signaling.

Zhao Xing was with Gu Ming, having received a notice five days prior that a Reincarnation Realm Mechanical Master was coming to Tao Yang Star Land to deliver something, so they had been waiting at the World Transport Port.

"Lord Lan Ji, I am Zhao..."

"Whoosh~"

The Boundary Boat suddenly emitted a burst of white light, and Lord Lan Ji threw the goods down, then hurriedly left.

"..."

Gu Ming was speechless; was the Empire’s Mechanical Lord too hasty?

"Is Lord Lan Ji rushing to deliver the next order?"

Zhao Xing shook his head: "I don’t know, maybe he’s trying to save some money."

The Empire’s reimbursement limit was fixed. How many drills Lord Lan Ji scrapped to open the Boundary Mountain was his own concern. If the expenses were within the limit, the rest was Lord Lan Ji’s to keep.

"Uh? Why is there another person? I don’t remember mentioning any reinforcements?" Zhao Xing suddenly noticed there was someone standing on the goods.

The level wasn’t low either, another lord.

"May I ask, who are you, senior?" Zhao Xing had learned this person’s name was Ji Shan, a lord-level individual, but didn’t know why he was there.

"Are you Zhao Xing? I came specifically to find you." Ji Shan’s eyes were fiery, "The samples of earth veins that Emperor Bishui assigned to you, I handpicked them from the treasury of the Ancient Hill for you."

"If they were drawn from the Empire’s treasury, you’d have to wait at least three more years."

Zhao Xing glanced at Gu Ming, who immediately said, "I’ll handle the warehousing of the goods."

Since Lord Ji Shan wasn’t on the official list, it was a personal action aimed at Zhao Xing.

Gu Ming didn’t linger and immediately arranged for people to receive the goods.

"Senior, please have a seat inside the temple."

Zhao Xing invited Lord Ji Shan inside.

......

Meanwhile, in the Red Star Empire, Primordial Realm.

A multi-party meeting was taking place in Thousand Stars City.

Zuo Qiyu and Five Poison remained seated on the main platform.

Emperor Yuan Ding of the Reincarnation Temple, Emperor Mang Ya of the Ancient Country Alliance, Seven Realms Scholar Bo Wei of Academic City, and Emperor Tianwu of the Primordial Heavenly Palace were seated in two rows.

All were sternly watching a middle-aged man in a blue vestment robe in the middle.

Without a doubt, the first half of the meeting was to hold the Ancient Hill accountable.

"Emperor Lu Shan, when we initially cooperated, your Ancient Hill assured us the Three-layered World Mountain wouldn’t be a problem and could be solved."

"Now five out of seven major ancient paths have issues, all occurring in the Stacked Realm Mountain segment."

"I won’t mention the casualties, wasted resources, and time. I believe your Ancient Hill is very well aware."

"My Primordial Heavenly Palace needs an explanation." Emperor Tianwu was the first to challenge.

"The Ancient Country Alliance also suffered heavy losses in this Boundary Mountain disaster." Emperor Mang Ya said coldly, "Lord Lu Shan, I won’t say anything unpleasant beyond that."

"Of the future rights initially allocated on five paths, let your Ancient Hill transfer thirty percent."

Emperor Yuan Ding of the Reincarnation Temple and Seven Realms Scholar Bo Wei remained silent, but clearly shared the same sentiment.

The ultimate goal of questioning an ally was none other than to gain profit and compensation; thirty percent meant cutting flesh from the thigh of the Ancient Hill.
