Reborn as a Hatrack in the Mystical Land-Chapter 822 - 72: Seven Evil Belts

On one side, Yue Jinghua took advantage of the Dark Beast’s momentum to escape successfully, while on the other, the Dark Demon Army was engaged in a life-and-death battle with the Four Symbols City’s stationed strongmen.

The Dan Realm experts on both sides exhausted their Domain Power, almost leading to total defeat. The Dark Demon Army fought desperately.

A few stationed soldiers from Four Symbols City were forced to send out distress signals. After reinforcements arrived, they killed twenty-nine members of the Dark Demon Army, including Dark Demon Six.

City Lord Changsun simultaneously received the news. After learning that the Demon Clan dared to infiltrate Four Symbols City and intended to poison the Boundary River Xiangshui, City Lord Changsun became furious and immediately led a group of Sun District experts to launch an unprecedented massacre around the rush grass.

Demon General Hong Lei, having lost the Sky-cutting Dagger, couldn’t leave the Mainland Battlefield immediately. In her desperation, she led a group of the Demon Clan into the Divine Ruins.

After searching outside the city, City Lord Changsun couldn’t find the fleeing Dark Demon Alchemist. Meanwhile, Hong Lei secretly dispatched people to search the outskirts of Four Symbols City, but neither side found the alchemist.

No one knew where the damned alchemist went with the batch of Corrosive Corpse Pills.

Feeling helpless, both parties gave up and, relying on the Divine Ruins, temporary divided against each other.

After this chaotic event, the vigilance inside and outside Four Symbols City tightened significantly. Even those with the City Lord Token needed approval from the City Lord Mansion to leave the city.

The main culprit Yue Jinghua, who stirred this turmoil, was quite carefree. After successfully meeting up with Shalman and others, she finished the logistics task effortlessly.

"While you were away, Four Symbols City experienced a major crisis. The people in the city almost got exterminated. It is said that thanks to an unknown expert in the Body Seizing Realm who first sensed the conspiracy. He was lurking nearby, secretly eliminating the Demon Clan alchemist, saving Four Symbols City from a disaster. Afterwards, he didn’t take any credit and quietly withdrew. City Lord Changsun is offering rewards everywhere, hoping to invite this expert to face the Demon Army invasion crisis together. It’s a pity there’s been no news, an expert is truly an expert, never seeking fame," the grocery store’s boss lady bragged endlessly with several customers.

Describing the widely circulated story of the hermit expert killing the Demon Clan alchemist with vivid details, as if she had seen it herself.

Shalman, who vaguely knew something about the inside story, listened beside her, several times suppressing the urge to spit out the tea in his mouth, making faces at Yue Jinghua.

The latter was unfazed, focused on studying the newly obtained Plane Map.

The July Team completed this logistical task smoothly.

As a reward, Yue Jinghua also successfully obtained the Plane Map from the grocery store boss lady.

As Yue Jinghua glanced at the Plane Map in her hand, she sensed something was off, but she remained calm, thanked the grocery store boss lady, and put the map away.

The city was bustling because of the Dark Demon Army invasion.

City Lord Changsun originally intended to strictly punish the ignorant novice, but the issue with the Dark Demon Army completely erased his desire to handle such trivial matters.

Yue Jinghua and others also smoothly completed the logistics task, and the timing was efficient.

Besides, the stationed troops near the Boundary River spoke highly of the July Team after drinking the beer provided by Yue Jinghua and strongly requested that the next logistics task also be carried out by the Four Unlikes Team members.

City Lord Changsun considered that the Demon Army was approaching, and the Dan Realm experts in the city had been deployed to patrol, so employing the Four Unlikes Team was better than wasting them. Thus, he assigned them to handle logistics between Four Symbols City and the Boundary River.

City Lord Changsun had originally planned to reclaim the City Lord Token, but was frightened by Bai Sheng Senior’s blustering gaze not to mention it again.

Since the Dark Demon Army had already hidden in the Divine Ruins and the Hidden Deer Antler along the way had been collected, the logistics route was safe. Yue Jinghua delegated the task to other members of the Four Unlikes.

The stationed troops were temporarily unaware of Long Ao’s death. The Mainland Battlefield was extremely harsh, and every year, countless stationed troops either died in service or went missing. Some might reappear after disappearing for a while.

Others vanished forever, becoming part of the Mainland Battlefield’s dust.

After obtaining the map from the grocery store, Yue Jinghua didn’t linger. She needed to clean up the remnants left by Long Ao after his death.

Returning to her residence, Yue Jinghua fed the corpse of the Dark Demon Alchemist to the Cannibal Small Qingpu, then organized the space containers taken from Long Ao and the alchemist. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Being one of the Ten Strongest on Canglong Continent and having successfully advanced to the Dan Realm for years, Long Ao’s personal collection was comparable to a nation’s wealth.

In his bracelet, Yue Jinghua found Long Jiuzun’s Storage Ring from earlier, along with a large number of Dan Xuan Cards and precious ores—a considerable fortune. Half of the National Guardian General Mansion’s assets fell into Yue Jinghua’s hands.

Despite this, Yue Jinghua felt little joy, as the Dark Pill was practically useless in Four Symbols City, not nearly as advantageous as Merit Points.

Due to killing and looting, Yue Jinghua only received the basic logistics reward, just a mere ten Merit Points.

The Merit Ring showed only "seventy-one."

Besides the Dark Pill, there were also several sets of Holy-grade High-level Dark Armor. Yue Jinghua took two sets, giving them to her brother Yue Minzhi and Long Rui, while distributing the rest among several members of the July Team.

This way, everyone’s strength experienced a slight boost.

However, the item that surprised Yue Jinghua the most in Long Ao’s space container was a belt.

This intricately made belt was woven from top-quality Golden Silkworm Silk, as soft as hair, with a width of about three fingers, adorned with seven engravings of Dark Pills.

Yue Jinghua remembered it somewhat; Hongling once mentioned that Duke Xue Ying’s Yue Nian had a belt called Seven Evils. After the Duke Mansion went bankrupt, the belt was taken by National Guardian General Long Ao. Presumably, it was now the belt before her eyes.

With a touch of spiritual power testing the belt’s luxurious design, Yue Jinghua’s pupils suddenly widened.

Demon Beasts—this belt’s Dark Pills were all Demon Beast Dark Pills, each one of them Holy-grade Demon Beasts.

Seven Holy Beasts, whose cultivation was not inferior to the Three-headed Snake Queen Medusa’s—each Dark Pill was precious beyond measure, let alone seven.

"Wow, this thing has immense Evil Qi. Named Seven Evils, wearing the belt instantly doubles a person’s fighting spirit, akin to the Killing Flames of the ugly. Good stuff, such good stuff," Gold Eater Worm reacted immediately to the treasure’s aura and displayed a lewd grin.

This belt, worn on the body, could enhance combat power. No wonder Long Ao could engage in a massacre while confronting the Demon Clan experts; it was likely due to this belt.

Yue Jinghua’s mind conjured the image of the tall, laid-back man who often had a reckless smile at the corner of his mouth.

People said that the Dragon Clan was violent. As a member of the Golden Dragon Clan, Yue Nian was clearly a ruthless character.

Although this belt was nice, Yue Jinghua had already mastered the Nine Revolutions Moon Creation Technique. Despite it only boosting her combat power by about fifty percent, Yue Jinghua didn’t want to overly rely on equipment to elevate cultivation. Hence, after considering, she decided to gift the belt to her brother Yue Minzhi.
