Who Designed This Underworld Dungeon?-Chapter 1165 - 756: Holy Light’s Insults Are Nasty

"Reject."

Sain Dungeon, in the City Lord's room.

Gong Qiying lay on the altar with a leisurely demeanor, brushing off the Dungeon's notifications with casual rejections as they chimed in his ear, gradually becoming the essence of a human—a repetition machine.

The followers who had been repeatedly rejected were probably cursing now.

But Gong Qiying couldn't hear them, and as the saying goes, "out of sight, out of mind", it was delightful!

"Just as I expected, once the Teleportation Gate opened, adventurers came and went, and the news quickly spread to other City Lords."

The knowledge of Sain Dungeon and Flame Fire Dungeon's battle actually being long over was intelligence unknown to outsiders.

Then, after learning about these events, they came to harass Sain Dungeon.

But what Gong Qiying did not anticipate was that the first to learn of the news turned out to be followers of Holy Light Underground City; he assumed it would be the closer White Blood Dungeon.

But it hardly mattered, as once one person knew, it wouldn't be long before everyone did.

From the followers' current attitude towards him, Gong Qiying could infer the attitude of the local City Lords.

He didn't expect that after all this time, their hatred for Sain was still unabated. Hmm, it's possible they might hate him more because they felt deceived...

"However, that's no big deal."

Gong Qiying smiled, showing a somewhat mischievous grin.

"Because I'm currently in a rest period."

After either a duel or death battle, both dungeons enter a mandatory rest period during which they can freely reject battle requests from other dungeons. Just that the rest period after a death battle is twice as long.

Once, after a death battle with Evil Nest Dungeon, dungeons from the Demon Clan still tried to provoke Gong Qiying. However, at the time, he was in his valuable rest period and ignored those demons' provocations.

By the time the rest period ended, Sain Dungeon had rapidly grown into a giant, and the dungeons looking for trouble mysteriously vanished.

Now, while he was still within the rest period, neither Holy Light nor White Blood, nor any other local dungeon, could do anything to him!

Now Sain Dungeon could provoke whoever it wished, and it was the local dungeons that should be afraid!

After all, Flame Fire Dungeon, once a local backbone force, was now Sain's captive, leaving the others to consider whether they were qualified to brawl!

"Indeed, no matter where you are, to get along harmoniously with the locals, you have to blend in."

So far, Gong Qiying was on the second step of his plan: watch and wait.

Once word spreads that he defeated Flame Fire Dungeon, some City Lords might back down, but others would certainly continue to provoke him.

He had no intention of dealing with dungeons unrelated to his mission, but if one caused too much trouble, he'd pick one to set an example.

He was keen on observing the reactions of Holy Light, White Blood, and Flame Fire.

Yes, although there had been a fight, after thinking it over, it seemed Flames Fire Dungeon's suspicion hadn't been completely cleared, leaving a tiny doubt.

However, Red Teeth relayed that since the City Lords started their investigation, demon activities in Scameroon suddenly quieted down conspicuously.

It seemed these guys received some notice and became low-key, with numbers no longer increasing, making it hard to find their origins.

Red Teeth speculated that someone might have leaked information, alerting the enemy, so the plan was to outwait them and just watch and wait.

Flame Fire gave Gong Qiying inspiration: to investigate if a dungeon was exhibiting unusual activity, observe its spiritual power income and expenditure.

A dungeon trading with the Demon Clan would have a spiritual power income noticeably greater than how it outwardly appeared in Scameroon.

He shared this idea with Red Teeth, who said they would tell other City Lords conducting the investigation to be vigilant.

Meanwhile, Gong Qiying was observing the dungeons he had identified as targets during the waiting period.

Not just the three mission-targeted ones, he expanded his observation to include surrounding dungeons as well.

"When half the rest period is over, I'll pick the one looking most suspicious and teach them a lesson."

However, the most suspicious might not necessarily be the real culprit, and perhaps none of the dungeons he was observing were, so he had other ways to pinpoint the real offender.

"Reject."

Gong Qiying rejected Holy Light Underground City once more.

"Anyway, for now, let's enjoy the feeling of opening a new map."

Everything in Sain Dungeon, including adventurers entering Sain Dungeon, was under his control.

The Mad Fire God Sect leaving Hepa Town would eventually obediently return; they couldn't run far or cause significant harm.

Both Starfire Church and Holy Light Church battling over Sain Dungeon was a surface matter he wouldn't meddle with.

However, to match Scameroon's "Ten Thousand Religions Country" theme, the changes within Sain Dungeon would inevitably impact the adventurers entering it.

They might even influence the struggles happening on the surface.

But that had nothing to do with Gong Qiying, as he was simply tending to his own patch of land.

Four crystal balls floated near the altar, displaying adventurers from Yanor Kingdom, Red, Warrior Country, and Scameroon, allowing him to observe them at any time.

Yanor Kingdom, as the starting point of Sain Dungeon, was his most stable foundation, and so far, all adventurer activities remained in a stable balance, not easily disrupted. Not just the dungeon, even surrounding industries flourished.

He recently noticed toys from the Bed family reaching Scameroon, led by the trusted Cow-horned Helmet bodyguard beside Count Bed.

Sain Dungeon's business in Warrior Country showed steady growth, with rising spiritual power income each week, a delightful achievement.

Warrior Country's people showed interest in every aspect of Sain Dungeon, being a nation with a larger population than Yanor Kingdom, ensuring someone would try and love every new feature introduced.

Even the Floating Island Dragon Clan showed increased breeding intent due to the more stable environment, being loyal consumers of Sain Dungeon's sugar-oil mix. Every increase in their population would provide Sain Dungeon with a stable long-term spiritual power source.

The Floating Island Dragon Clan and Sain Dungeon were each other's meal tickets.

As for Red...

Local people had mostly migrated to Yanor Kingdom or Warrior Country for better opportunities; it had entirely become a land of immigrants, nothing more to say.

In Scameroon, everything was just getting started; a time of turbulence and power shifts among different factions.

At this moment, Sain Dungeon alerted, and the crystal ball in front of Gong Qiying shifted its display, focusing on a group.

It was Hevi and his Starfire Knights, who, after rest, re-entered Sain Dungeon as a complete team.

Much like with Steeran, Gong Qiying paid close attention to Hevi, noticing their potential.

It wasn't because the Starfire Knights were entertaining, not at all; Gong Qiying was a serious person, dedicated to his work!

"These people are truly efficient, coming back down in such a short time. Well then, let's see how far you can explore this time."

In the crystal ball, after Hevi and his team made preparations at the Fire Transmission Ceremony, they headed straight to the Undead Town Outside the City where they once suffered a loss.

Would they challenge the Red Flying Dragon again, delve further, or perhaps do something else?

No matter what they intended, the City Lord of Sain Dungeon always observed them with "seriousness."
