The most melodramatic rebirth in history

Chapter 463 City Lord Mo Jing, A Fleeting Glance

The heart of the city is surrounded by a ring of walls, and ten city administrative offices are located within it.

"Greetings, Your Excellency! Greetings, Elder Tong!"

"May Your Majesty be blessed, and may Elder Tong be well!"

One by one, some were members of the city's defense force, while others were government officials from the underworld or the netherworld, hurrying to and fro.

It was clearly a scene of someone busy with important official business!

So much so that when they met the important figures who suddenly came to visit and inspect, Feng Ling and Elder Tong, they did not dare to be too formal, lest they delay the transmission of government orders.

"Those who come later, there's no need for further greetings. Just go about your business and don't pay any attention to us!"

Feng Ling immediately waved his hand to disperse a large group of people who wanted to come forward and pay their respects.

Seeing this, many public officials who had just squeezed out of the pile of documents on their desks felt a sense of gloom before their eyes and sat back down with awkward smiles.

"Hey, isn't this our behind-the-scenes handyman? What brings you to the Government Affairs Department today?"

Hearing the commotion in the front hall, a slightly immature female voice came from the back hall of the government office.

"You are... Heavenly Demoness? Tsk tsk, you've only been using the 'Heavenly Demon Reincarnation Technique' for less than a year. Logically speaking, shouldn't you still be in the form of a little girl?"

Feng Ling stared in astonishment at one of the ten city lords, Heavenly Demoness Lori, who strode quickly from the back hall.

He could keenly perceive that although Lori's overall appearance had not yet returned to normal, some of her features had clearly grown a little.

Moreover, half a year has passed, and the Heavenly Demoness Luo Li's cultivation has recovered to the late stage of the Great Sage!

It is likely that this series of changes can be largely attributed to the Night-Walking Wheel Realm.

Otherwise, even if the Heavenly Demoness was once a peak Great Sage and had rich experience in cultivating at the Great Sage stage, she wouldn't have been able to cultivate back to this level so quickly after using the Heavenly Demon Reincarnation Technique for the second time.

"What, does the city lord perhaps enjoy seeing me in my loli form? How about I change back to my original form for you?"

Upon hearing this, the Heavenly Demoness Loli teased, and Feng Ling shook his head awkwardly, while Elder Tong remained silent, looking completely unperturbed.

So she turned to look at Elder Tong and bowed slightly, saying, "Elder Tong," to which he nodded in response.

Immediately afterwards, there was a rustling sound in the back hall of the Government Office. Beichen Sword Saint then appeared, greeting them with a smile: "Greetings, Leader City Lord and Elder Tong!"

Elder Tong remained calm and composed, but Feng Ling's gaze warmed slightly as he said, "Your soul and domain are vaguely in harmony... Bei Chen, have you broken through to the late stage of the Great Saint realm?"

Feng Ling knew that Bei Chen possessed the immense foundation of the Nine Infants Heaven and Earth Souls within him, and with this invisible blessing, breaking through to the late stage of the Great Saint realm was only a matter of time.

But isn't that way too early?
"Lord City Lord, do not be alarmed!"

Beichen Sword Saint chuckled, "Originally, I also thought it would take a long time to integrate the essence of the Nine Infants' Heaven and Earth Souls, but fortunately, thanks to Old Ghost Ye's help with the Wheel of Reincarnation!"

Upon hearing this, Feng Ling frowned: "Where is Night Walker? Why hasn't it shown up yet? Has it cultivated to the point where it doesn't even need to come for its daily report? What level must it have reached?"

There was a hint of displeasure in Feng Ling's voice.

But Bei Chen was clearly in high spirits, and when he suddenly saw Feng Ling asking about the Night Ghost King's current realm with a seemingly puzzled expression, Bei Chen couldn't hide his smile.

So, he gloated and reported, "City Lord, don't be fooled by the fact that Old Ghost Ye fused with the Nine-Headed Serpent's essence long ago. The time-based buff of the Reincarnation Realm is ineffective on him; he can only watch helplessly! Therefore, he selflessly accompanied us in cultivating in the Reincarnation Realm for half a year, and today he has only reached the level of almost breaking through to the peak of the mid-stage Great Saint! And this is only with Lori and Elder Tong personally guiding him..."

In the end, Bei Chen first glanced at Elder Tong with reverence, then solemnly sighed for the Night Ghost King's fate, expressing a little bit of sympathy.

"So, you've only just come out of the Reincarnation Realm, haven't you?" Feng Ling looked at Elder Tong, whose face remained impeccably expressionless, with a sense of envy that everyone was able to accelerate their cultivation!

"Well, that kid Nightwalker was truly selfless while staying in the Wheel of Reincarnation! His absence this morning was simply an unintentional mistake!"

Upon hearing this, Elder Tong coughed, unusually offering a defense of the Night Ghost King. Then, seeing Feng Ling's brow furrow again, Elder Tong added, "Moreover, Yin Jiu and Mo Yu are also absent, so Ye Xing has nowhere to report for duty!"

Upon hearing this, Feng Ling snapped out of his reverie and hummed in agreement, which was a positive response and acknowledgment of Elder Tong's statement that it was an "unintentional mistake" in defense of the Night Demon King.

However, among the three great saints, the Night Demon King is the most shrewd and the most skilled in business.

In other words, when it comes to taking stock of resources, among the three saints, it's acceptable for Lori and Beichen to be absent at the same time, but the Night Ghost King is the only one who cannot be absent!

Otherwise, if only Luo Li and Bei Chen follow Feng Ling, they'll just be two more machines that relentlessly broadcast data based on the accounts. What's the point? It's better to see for yourself!

And that is the real reason why Feng Ling frowned again just now.

However, despite having such thoughts in mind, Feng Ling still symbolically invited, "Luo Li, Bei Chen, if you two don't have anything urgent to attend to right now, then come with me to take stock of the underground treasure vault!"

Little did they know, not only was Feng Ling unwilling, but Luo Li and Bei Chen were also reluctant upon hearing this!

"I'm sorry, Lord City Lord, I'm just a rough and unrefined man who's good with a knife. How could I possibly handle such delicate work?"

Bei Chen looked completely overwhelmed, clutching his forehead and groaning in pain, before becoming listless.

"No time! This demoness just came to take a look and is in a hurry to return to the Wheel of Reincarnation to cultivate! City Lord, you can go by yourself. Take whatever you like!"

The Heavenly Demoness's answer was even more straightforward. She winked at Bei Chen, "Here you go, these are the ledgers that Ye Xing gave us in advance. They're all here!"

Immediately, the two tossed Feng Ling a thick stack of account books and disappeared in a flash.

……

Ghost City, the second ring city.

A thousand meters underground, where the Heavenly Demoness's Crystal Cave was located, there was actually another world hidden within.

It was none other than the underground treasure vault of the Holy City of Demons!

The underground treasure vault has an overall shape resembling a funnel, wider at the top and narrower at the bottom. It is divided into ten levels from top to bottom, with each level having a uniform height of 100 meters.

At the top, the first treasure vault has a diameter of one kilometer. Subsequently, for every hundred meters deeper into the ground, the diameter of the treasure vault decreases by one hundred meters.

Until the tenth level of the treasure vault, there is a cone-shaped space with a diameter of 100 meters and a height of 100 meters.

"The Tenth Treasure Vault, led by Enforcement Captain Soul Seventeen, respectfully welcomes the Lord and Elder Tong for their inspection!"

The journey was smooth and unimpeded!
While quickly reviewing the accounts, Feng Ling roughly estimated in his mind that the massive underground treasure trove of the Fierce Ghost Holy City actually occupied an astonishing 2.6 million cubic meters of space!

This is practically hollowing out the entire underground!

If it weren't for the powerful spatial barriers created by the domains of Saint Realm experts surrounding the treasure vault, the city above would probably have collapsed and fallen!

"Okay, open it for me! Then you all stay outside, we'll go in ourselves!"

At the entrance to the tenth-level treasure vault, Feng Ling turned to the last few pages of the ledger, where the annotation read: Ten. Sacred Realm Cultivation Resources Reserve Warehouse.

This time, he couldn't afford to be careless.

Every time a creature hatches, it's a new beginning...

The world is full of chaos and troubles; may the sages and saints offer you a pure land for your souls.
