Chapter 309: Blood Moon Treasury

"Your Majesty, we have confirmed the identities of the Seven Deadly Sins attacking You City. They are Wrath, Envy, Greed, Gluttony, and Sloth."

Inside the Imperial Palace, Leng Yue knelt on one knee, respectfully reporting to the man seated on the throne.

The Undead King sneered. "Has Pride not appeared yet?"

Leng Yue shook her head. "We haven't found any trace of Pride."

"What is the situation in You City?"

"More than half of it has been destroyed, but all the Gold Blood Clan members in the surrounding area have rushed to provide support. Several more dispatched from the Imperial Capital are also on the way. Those five members of the Seven Deadly Sins are temporarily pinned down. Once the main force arrives, we will wipe them all out!"

"Excellent. If Pride wishes to slaughter You City, then I shall kill these five members of his first."

The Undead King swirled the goblet in his hand, smiling with absolute certainty.

"Your Majesty, based on the feedback from our intelligence personnel, I've noticed a few suspicious points." Leng Yue hesitated.

"Speak."

"Wrath of the Seven Deadly Sins seems to have the ability to manipulate gravity, and his strength is immense, far exceeding that of an ordinary Gold expert."

"Gravity?" The Undead King narrowed his eyes, as if recalling something. He coldly spat out a name: "Dongfang Yuan."

"Yes, Your Majesty. Dongfang Yuan's ability is gravity manipulation, and this Wrath uses gravity as well. Furthermore, their strengths appear to be on par. This is simply too much of a coincidence. There are not many Transcendents in this world who can manipulate gravity to begin with, let alone two of similar strength..."

"It seems the Chiyan Empire and the Seven Deadly Sins might have secretly joined forces."

Leng Yue's expression shifted slightly. "But they are mortal enemies..."

"Hmph," the Undead King sneered. "So what if they are? In this world, as long as the benefits are sufficient, even bitter enemies with deep-seated blood feuds can sit down to negotiate."

Just then, the sound of hurried footsteps echoed outside the door, and an intelligence officer rushed in.

"Your Majesty! Terrible news! The Blood Bank, the core area, and the Law Enforcement Bureau have all been attacked by the Seven Deadly Sins!"

Leng Yue shot to her feet. "What!? Could their true target be the Imperial Capital?"

The Undead King asked, "Has Pride appeared?"

The intelligence officer shook his head. "No. The ones who appeared are Wrath, Lust, and a Provisional Third Seat."

"Oh? Another Wrath. It seems the one appearing now is the real Wrath. The Seven Deadly Sins and the Chiyan Empire truly have joined forces. It appears I underestimated King Chi. Resorting to any means necessary to achieve her goals... she at least possesses the demeanor of a ruler.

"In that case, their goal is quite clear. They want to use the Seven Deadly Sins to pressure the Blood Moon Empire. As long as the Seven Deadly Sins cause more destruction to the Blood Moon Empire than to the Chiyan Empire, the world will naturally conclude that I, the Undead King, am inferior to King Chi!

"What a brilliant scheme! What excellent tactics!"

A cold, bloody light flickered in the Undead King's eyes as a boundless killing intent silently radiated from him. At this moment, he looked like a devil stepping out from a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood—utterly terrifying.

"However, even the most brilliant scheme requires the corresponding strength to back it up. As long as we can heavily cripple the Seven Deadly Sins this time, or even wipe them out entirely, the world will see the gap between me and King Chi!

"Leng Yue, take your people and reinforce the General Law Enforcement Bureau immediately. Remember, the moment Pride shows himself, report to me at once. Today, I will teach that cowardly rat hiding in the shadows an unforgettable lesson!"

"Yes, Your Majesty. But what about the Blood Bank and the core area...?"

"The Progenitor is at the Blood Bank. Although the old man is no longer in his right mind, his territorial awareness is extremely strong. There is no need to worry; the Progenitor will take action himself.

"As for the core area, are the major families incapable of dealing with a single member of the Seven Deadly Sins? Therefore, the only place that needs reinforcement is the Law Enforcement Bureau."

At this, the reporting intelligence officer showed a look of hesitation. "Your Majesty, the Law Enforcement Bureau probably doesn't need reinforcement. According to news from our subordinates, the one attacking the bureau is the Provisional Third Seat of the Seven Deadly Sins, whose Gold Law is the Giant Demon. He is currently being hunted down by the bureau chief.

"However, the core area might need reinforcement. The one attacking there is Wrath. This person's spiritual power is incredibly strong, rendering all ambush tactics useless against him. Furthermore, he can fly, possesses immense speed, and excels at long-range attacks.

"Every time he strikes, he leaves no trace, making him impossible to defend against. Most importantly, this person is extremely cunning. He doesn't engage in head-on combat at all; he purely focuses on causing destruction."

The Undead King's face immediately darkened. "Those useless fools! So many people, and they can't even deal with one person?"

He extended his long, pale fingers, using his thumbnail to lightly slice his index finger. Dark red blood instantly seeped out.

He then flicked a drop toward Leng Yue.

Leng Yue immediately understood. She hurriedly opened her mouth and swallowed the drop of blood.

Upon swallowing it, dense scarlet lines instantly surfaced across her pale face, making her look eerie and seductive.

"Go and deal with Wrath."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Leng Yue turned and left.

Blood Moon Empire Treasury.

The treasury was located deep within the Imperial Palace, and its security was incredibly tight. Just getting near it required passing through numerous checkpoints, and there were even Gold experts stationed to watch over it.

The entire structure was forged from Mithril and engraved with various profound, mysterious runes designed to prevent those with special abilities from sneaking inside.

However, these measures couldn't stop Su Mu. All these defenses existed within this world, but Su Mu's true body was inside the Dream World. To be precise, he wasn't even in this world right now. How could one defend against a person who didn't exist?

He openly strolled right into the Blood Moon Treasury. The moment he stepped through the door, he was bathed in a radiant treasure light.

The interior of the treasury was spacious and towering. The domed ceiling was inlaid with countless gems radiating a soft glow, resembling a vast starry sky.

Rows of tall shelves stood in neat order, filled to the brim with a dazzling array of rare treasures: crystal-clear spheres containing what looked like nebulae, exquisitely carved blood-colored jade ruyi scepters, and necklaces made of thumb-sized black pearls.

It was safe to say that ordinary gold jewelry was the most worthless thing in here.

But Su Mu's gaze didn't linger on these treasures for long. While the items were fine, they were merely mundane.

What he truly wanted were Artifacts and transcendental materials...

Of course, mundane treasures couldn't be wasted either. With a wave of his hand, space distorted slightly, and all these treasures, along with their shelves, were swept into the Dream World.

He continued forward and soon saw a massive amount of transcendental materials!

There was Star Meteoric Iron emitting a faint blue glow; weapons forged from it were said to be ten times harder than Mithril!

There was emerald-green Consonance Wood, its grain resembling vivid runes. With a gentle sniff, a refreshing fragrance would pierce straight to the heart. It was a mandatory material for crafting wood-type Gold Law potions.

There was also a scorching Flame Crystal, seemingly containing an inextinguishable heart of fire within. Even from several feet away, one could feel its surging heat. It was the primary material for refining the Flame Demon Gold Law potion.
