Just after Delta Aurigae agreed, Leng Shiqi opened the system interface and chose the option to invite a member of the territory. A system prompt suddenly appeared before his eyes:
"Do you want to invite the other party to join the Mansion of the Dead?"
"Yes!"
Immediately, a palm-sized Mark of the Netherworld appeared between Leng Shiqi and Delta Aurigae. In the blink of an eye, it disappeared into the Delta Aurigae's body. However, the Delta Aurigae did not seem to notice it.
At the same time, Leng Shiqi's system interface also showed the basic information of Delta Aurigae, including cultivation, techniques, common spiritual skills, and so on.
More importantly, Leng Shiqi discovered that he could control the mark that had just drilled into the Delta Aurigae's body!
It seemed to be something like a seal. As long as he willed it, he could directly take away the life of Delta Aurigae!
"The territory system actually has such a trick up its sleeve?" Leng Shiqi was also a little surprised.
For Delta Aurigae, he naturally did not need to use such a method. However, the Mansion of the Dead would eventually expand, and it would take in more members in the future.
With this guarantee, it meant that he had the power to kill the members of the Mansion of the Dead, which was indeed very advantageous.
Immediately after, another system prompt appeared. "The territory upgrade conditions have been met. Would you like to spend 5000 System Coins to upgrade the territory?"
"No."
Leng Shiqi was not in a hurry to upgrade now. After all, he still had things to do tonight. It would not be too late to upgrade after everything was arranged.
Delta Aurigae curiously asked, "Where is that Arcane Realm of yours? What does it look like?"
Since Delta Aurigae had already become a member of the Mansion of the Dead, Leng Shiqi had nothing to hide. He said, "The Mansion of the Dead is actually with me. It's just that it's not convenient to enter the Mansion of the Dead now. I'll take you in to have a look in a few days."
Delta Aurigae rolled her eyes at him and said in a bad mood, "If there's nothing else, let's go. Lei Muyan is still waiting for me to report back."
"I'll look for you in a few days." After saying that, Leng Shiqi disappeared in a flash.
In fact, after the Delta Aurigae became members of the Underworld, he could directly bring the Delta Aurigae into the Underworld.
The reason why he didn't want the Delta Aurigae to enter was because the current Underworld was simply too shabby!
If the Delta Aurigae saw the Mansion of the Dead, which was not even comparable to a small village, they might just turn around and leave in a fit of anger. Therefore, Leng Shiqi planned to wait until the Mansion of the Dead was upgraded before bringing the Delta Aurigae in to take a look.
After leaving, Leng Shiqi did not return to Dark Thunder Manor. Instead, he traveled through the streets of the inner city like a ghost. Soon, he arrived at an inconspicuous alley.
Zhuge Puhe was waiting for him here.
After everyone left the Heavenly Tomb, Leng Shiqi sent a voice transmission to Zhuge Puhe to meet him here. He was prepared to hand over the Star Clan's secret treasure that he had obtained in Tranquil Sun County.
There were too many high-grade resources in that batch of treasures. Leng Shiqi was also very envious when he saw them. He had also taken a portion of them for himself, but even so, he took out dozens of mustard seed bags and handed them to Zhuge Puhe.
Zhuge Puhe opened one of them and his eyes widened. He could not believe what he saw!
He actually saw countless high-grade materials!
What shocked him even more was that these materials were basically ancient materials that had been extinct for a long time. Most of them were star system materials, which were very suitable for the Spirit Cultivators of the Zhuge Family!
Although the Zhuge Family had accumulated a large number of experts over the past hundreds of thousands of years, one should not forget that the strength of a Spirit Cultivator was not only dependent on the cultivation realm. Spirit Weapons were also a very important factor that affected the level of strength.
As long as they had these high-grade materials, there was hope to refine a large number of high-grade Spirit Weapons, which would greatly increase the overall combat power of the Zhuge Family. In the future, they would have more confidence to restore the glory of the Star Clan!
Zhuge Puhe was stunned and could not say a word for a long time. Leng Shiqi could only say, "Brother Zhuge, I have already obtained the secret treasure of Tranquil Sun County. According to the terms of the transaction, I have also kept a portion of the materials. I will have to trouble you to pass the rest to Senior Zhuge Yun.
My business with the Zhuge Family has come to an end. Farewell. "
Before Zhuge Puhe could react, Leng Shiqi quickly used Remnant Wind and Lightning Light Steps to leave the place.
After he had seen the thousands of experts in the Zhuge Family and the secret treasure of Tranquil Sun County, he knew that the Star Clan had indeed left behind many backup plans. This also meant that the Zhuge Family would come out sooner or later. When that time came, there would be a storm that would sweep across the entire Falling Star Continent.
Therefore, it was better for Leng Shiqi to keep a certain distance from the Zhuge Family and the Star Clan.
When Leng Shiqi returned to the Xingzhi Pavilion of the Dark Thunder Mansion, he immediately went into the Mansion of the Dead. He came to the front of the Gate of the Dead. At this moment, there were already one or two thousand souls floating around.
Almost all of these souls were people who had died in the Barren Chuan Tribe and the Wasteland Tribe. A small portion of them were the Dark Thunder Guards of Tranquil Sun County led by Li Zhangtao. Of course, there were also the Li brothers who had just died.
With so many souls gathered here, they were emitting a terrifying aura of the netherworld. They even crowded the front of the Gate of the Dead.
Leng Shiqi summoned the system and chose to "Upgrade Territory"!
"Spending 5,000 System Coins to upgrade Territory … Territory upgrading … Territory upgrade successful."
In an instant, the entire Mansion of the Dead shook, and black gas filled the sky. The area of the Mansion of the Dead expanded at a speed visible to the naked eye. In the blink of an eye, it was more than ten miles wide.
Gradually, the black gas dissipated, revealing brand-new buildings.
Leng Shiqi looked around and saw that the Gate of the Dead had expanded several times. Its original dilapidated appearance was no longer there. Although it was still made of wood, at least it looked like it was still there.
"Creak … Creak …"
Suddenly, the Gate of the Dead opened, and a strange aura of the netherworld spread out. The souls that were originally floating outside seemed to be attracted by something and began to walk into the Gate of the Dead and set foot on the Road to the Underworld!
The Road to the Underworld was now seven or eight miles long. It was not crowded at all for one or two thousand souls to walk through. Leng Shiqi curiously followed behind. He wanted to see what would happen to these souls after they walked through the Road to the Underworld.
However, he was a little disappointed not long after, because these souls all stopped at the end of the Road to the Underworld. They did not walk onto the Bridge of Helplessness, just like before when they stopped outside the Gate of the Dead.
Leng Shiqi suddenly thought of something. He thought to himself, "How far these souls can walk seems to be related to the level of the Mansion of the Dead."
Thinking of this, he went directly to the end of the Mansion of the Dead, which was in front of the gate of the Fengdu Necropolis. The gate was still tightly shut. When he came here, he saw the conditions for the Mansion of the Dead to continue upgrading.
"Current level of the Mansion of the Dead: Tier 1."
"Conditions for upgrading the Mansion of the Dead:
1. Collect one thousand souls. 17831000.
2. 10000 System Coins. "
"Conditions for upgrading the Mansion of the Dead have been met. Would you like to spend 10000 System Coins to upgrade the Mansion of the Dead?"
