Chapter 425 - 425: The Treasure Vault of Dragon King City: Sonia’s Vow to Ensure This Little Bastard Doesn’t Fare Better Than Herself! (2)



“Get all these resources back to the Crown of the Ocean, not a single unit should be left behind!”

“Yes!”

The mighty army of the Crown of the Ocean behind them transformed into porters, starting to move large quantities of rare resources away.

Between the Dragon King’s Treasury and the Archway, a long line appeared, carrying away everything from the treasury bit by bit, like ants.

Ji Chen stood aside, in a very good mood, thinking that the resources needed for recruiting troops over the past few weeks had found their place.

Exploring dangerous yet treasure-filled realms, defeating powerful enemies, obtaining treasures with abundant resources, and recruiting even stronger troops – every step was filled with excitement and thrill, bringing a tremendous sense of accomplishment.

It was this sense of accomplishment that drove him to keep adventuring and striving for more.

Sonia noticed the commotion and rushed over.

Upon seeing Ji Chen, she saluted and said, “Congratulations, my lord, for successfully connecting the Great Luminescent Sea with the main world, allowing the sea clan of the Great Luminescent Sea to no longer be confined to their own realm.

With the treasures you’ve gained from the Dragon King’s Treasury, my lord will undoubtedly be able to strengthen the Crown of the Ocean and lead us to conquer even stronger enemies.”

Ji Chen smiled and nodded. Although he didn’t pay much attention to the congratulatory words, it was still nice to hear them occasionally.

“We don’t need to dwell on these words; I have a question for you.”

“My lord, please ask.”

“Is there a Spirit Crystal vein within the Great Luminescent Sea?”

“Spirit Crystal vein?” Sonia looked a bit puzzled at first, but upon seeing the long line of resource porters, she quickly understood. “My lord, did you find Spirit Crystals in the Dragon King’s Treasury?”

Ji Chen nodded without hesitation.

“Within the territory of the Coral Palace, there is no Spirit Crystal vein, but the Dragon King’s Treasury might have one… However, we’ll need to interrogate Diago, the former ruler of the Dragon King’s Castle, for that.”

When it came to who knew the Dragon King’s Castle best, it had to be the last Water Dragon King, Diago.

This matter was of great importance. After instructing Alice to oversee the resource transportation, Ji Chen took Sonia to the prison in the Dragon King’s Castle.

Seeing his arrival, Diago’s face became incredibly dark, and his gaze was filled with malice.

“What are you doing here, human? Are you here to mock me?

1’11 tell you, even though I’ve become a prisoner, you won’t get the satisfaction of humiliating me!”

He shrugged, “1 don’t have such a perverse taste, and you’re not worth coming here to mock.

A mere underling who can’t even defeat my subordinates wants me to taunt him?”

Ji Chen’s indifferent attitude precisely hit Diago’s sore spot, making him tremble with anger.

He could be killed, but he wouldn’t allow himself to be ignored in such a manner.

“I’m here to ask you a question.”

“Want to ask me a question? You must be dreaming; I won’t answer any questions!”

Diago’s first instinct was to reject without hesitation because answering Ji Chen’s questions, his arch-nemesis, felt like surrendering to his own demise.

Ji Chen remained unfazed and said calmly, “If your answers satisfy me, perhaps I can let you leave this place… at least not to stay cooped up in this cramped cell, but to live in better accommodations and eat better food?”

Diago had originally intended to reject immediately, but then he stopped abruptly.

His small eyes glanced at the cramped prison where he had been stuck for days and remembered the pig slop he had been eating recently. Surprisingly, he felt a bit tempted.

However, he quickly regained his resolve and silently cursed himself.

Diago, oh Diago, you are the descendant of the Water Dragon King’s bloodline; how could you be tempted by these things!?

If you’re like this, how can you restore the glory of the Dragon King’s Castle?

“Are you really determined to stay quiet?”

“I won’t answer!”

“Then 1’11 start by killing your brother.”

Diago’s face lit up with joy. “Sure, go ahead!”

In the neighboring cell, Andar cursed loudly, “Diago, you son of a bitch! If anyone’s going to die, it should be you first. The Dragon King’s Castle was lost under your rule, you should pay with your life!”

“You goddamn idiot, without you leading the way, how would the Dragon King’s Castle have been destroyed? If it weren’t for this incident, I would have led the Dragon King’s Castle army to flatten the Coral Palace and unify the Great Luminescent Sea long ago!”

“Violence and slaughter lead to no good results; only peace is the future of the Great Luminescent Sea!”

“You dumbass, don’t spout this nonsense theory to me. If 1 hadn’t sent people to protect you in secret, you would have been eaten by the savage sea clans long ago!”

“¥…%&#%*!”

Watching the sudden argument among the Water Dragon King’s descendants, Ji Chen felt that they might have a talent for comedy.

He sternly said, “Shut up! Otherwise, I’ll kill both of you!”

Diago and Andar were not happy about it, but they remained quiet. Nobody wanted to die.

“I found some Spirit Crystals in the Dragon King’s Treasury. Do you know where those Spirit Crystals came from?”

“Tell me, and one side will get an upgrade in cell conditions and better food.”

“On the other hand, the other side will get downgraded.”

Upon hearing these words, Diago and Andar exchanged knowing glances, a hint of envy evident in their eyes.

They both had one thought in mind.

I can’t let this little brat live better than me!

“I’ll talk! I am the Royal Father’s most favored son. He once told me that the Spirit Crystals in the treasury were found in the Abyssal Layers of Darkness!”

Andar was the first to speak up, looking smugly at Diago, making the latter grind his teeth in anger.

Ji Chen stroked his chin, the Abyssal Layers of Darkness? Could it be what Sonia mentioned before, the layer of water located between a thousand meters below the sea surface and above the sea floor, filled with primitive sea clans?

“Tell me more.”

“Royal Father once sent several exploration teams into the Abyssal Layers of Darkness, but almost every time, there were heavy casualties, and only a fraction of the troops that went could return.”

“In the last exploration, the returning expedition brought back a batch of resources, including those Spirit Crystals.

However, it’s more accurate to say that most of the resources in the treasury were brought out from the Abyssal Layers of Darkness. After all, the Great Luminescent Sea itself hardly produces such resources.”

Upon hearing this, Ji Chen furrowed his brows and looked at Sonia, who nodded in agreement.

So, there might be a rare resource vein, perhaps even a Spirit Crystal vein, within the Abyssal Layers of Darkness? Or maybe it’s something left behind by the human civilization of the Mystic Realm due to their migration?

Regardless of the possibility, it hinted at significant wealth.

Even Sonia, who had survived from that time until now, didn’t know for sure. After all, she had come to establish the Coral Palace in the Great Luminescent Sea and rarely left. She only knew that the human civilization of the Mystic Realm gradually migrated to higher places, and she wasn’t well-informed about the events that occurred in between.

“Do you know where the last Dragon King’s Castle exploration team is now?”

If this expedition team could lead the way, it would be quicker to find the Spirit Crystal discovery site, instead of searching blindly in the vast sea.

“I know about this!”

Ji Chen looked at Diago, who had volunteered to answer first. The latter had a somewhat strange expression on his face.

“They were killed by you with a hidden current outside the Coral Palace several days ago. If you go now, you might still find their bodies.”

F*ck!

Ji Chen silently cursed in his mind.

Damn it, did I just dig a pit for myself?!

It seemed that the exploration of the Abyssal Layers of Darkness would have to be undertaken by the Ocean Crown itself.

With a heavy heart, Ji Chen turned to leave, but before departing, he made sure to upgrade the imprisonment conditions for both Diago and Andar.

Leaving the prison, Ji Chen instructed Sonia, “I will return to the Ocean Crown in a few days. During this time, focus on having the Coral Palace forces deal with the remaining Dragon King’s Castle stragglers.

I want a completely stable and absolutely safe rear base, understood?”

“I will not disappoint your expectations, my lord. 1 will personally lead the troops to eliminate them.”

Sonia responded with solemnity.

Ji Chen felt reassured by her response. A hero of Red-Legacy Tier leading the way should be more than capable of handling the remnants of Dragon King’s Castle.

“Very well, in a little while, I will take you to the main world. The Coral Palace and the Great Luminescent Sea will participate in the Ocean Crown’s external campaigns.

As long as you remain loyal to me and the Ocean Crown, whether human or sea creature, 1 will treat everyone equally.”

Sonia half-knelt, placing her right hand over her chest. The V-shaped collar revealed a captivating whiteness, and her elegant and dignified face showed her seriousness.

“Sonia, the Coral Palace and the Great Luminescent Sea eagerly anticipate the arrival of that day.

We will follow your lead in battle, wherever your sword leads!”
