Chapter 3527 Sitting On The Top

"Abdul, what's wrong with those Other Shore creatures? Why are they staring at us like that?" a senior disciple from the Land of Sword Grief asked in a low register, feeling uncomfortable under the gaze.

But even Abdul was baffled.

Normally, they had to be extra careful when going in and out of the Myriad Spirits City. The Other Shore creatures had always been arrogant, given their great strength. Usually, they only had contempt in their eyes upon seeing them.

But today, their eyes were completely different—it was as though there was even some kind of awe in them.

Were they suddenly afraid of the Souls of Light?

Abdul and his companions had yet to realize that it wasn't the Souls of Light they were afraid of.

They would soon find out that they acted like this because Zen and Elvinia had occupied the City Guard House.

On the way there, everyone was feeling quite uneasy.

Soon, they reached the end of the road at the gate of a magnificent building.

"The City Guard House?"

Abdul was rather stunned as he stood in front of the structure.

"Has Zen provoked the members of the City Guard House? Were we brought here for them to kill?" A worried voice came from one of the senior disciples.

For a moment, Abdul was about to agree to the thought, but on second thought, he realized that it wasn't a very logical conclusion.

The Oneness Sky Palace was known to always follow the rules. They even paid their tributes to the city guards every year—it was highly unlikely for them to have provoked the people of the City Guard House. Besides, Zen was standing up against the Ghost Scorpion, who had always been at odds with the City Guard House, anyway.

'Could the City Guard House have saved Zen and Princess Elvinia?' Abdul wondered after giving it a thought.

After thinking it through, he shared the possibility with those around him.

"That must be the case! The City Guard House has always wanted to kill the Ghost Scorpion, hasn't it? But the creature has always been hiding in the underground in the north of the city. When he attacked Zen and alerted the City Guard House, they must have taken the chance to kill him!"

"Zen is so lucky!"

Unexpectedly, a warrior beside him suddenly chimed in, "But even if the City Guard House killed the Ghost Scorpion, why would they invite us here?"

Now, Abdul was stumped.

The City Guard House had real control of the Myriad Spirits City—the

ior disciples of the Land of Sword Grief, however, still felt like they were in a dream.

Just then, an Ear Mouse stepped into the main hall of the City Guard House and bowed to Zen, who remained sitting at the very top. "The savings of the Ghost Scorpion have all been recorded—there are five hundred finger-size chunks of soul crystal, five hundred and twenty Body-strengthening Jades and twenty thousand soul pills! Apart from that…"

For so many years, the Ghost Scorpion had occupied the northern part of the city—of course, he had accumulated many things. Once the Ghost Scorpion died, his subordinates took many things away from his lair when they fled, but a good portion of things was still left underground. The Ear Mice also moved quite fast—within an hour after the Ghost Scorpion died, they had already made their way into the underground of the northern part of the city, plundering all the remaining treasures.

The amount of savings reported by the Ear Mouse had everyone shocked, save for Zen, who merely waved his hand and said, "You don't have to report every detail. All these things will be shared equally between your race and our Oneness Sky Palace."

"Shared equally?!" Abdul exclaimed in shock. The Ghost Scorpion's legacy was so great that half of it was already amazing. And to think that Zen easily gave that half to the Ear Mice, Abdul couldn't help but stammer, "Z-zen… since you are the one who killed the Ghost Scorpion, his legacy naturally belongs to you, as well as the Land of Sword Grief... It doesn't make sense for you to share it with the Ear Mice like this…it's beyond generous."
