Stop! These Are Public Property!

"Young Master, do not worry. The sect has already dispatched more experts to intercept Lin Dong before the cave closes and avenge our humiliation."

"Hmph, this time I'm going to make Lin Dong die!"

Pang Hao and the other man spoke in hushed tones for a while, then pounced once again on the many Silver Corpse at the bottom of the lake, eager to harvest more Heart of Thunder.

"Strange, Lin Dong didn't appear at the bottom of Thunder Lake. Given his style, he wouldn't miss such an opportunity."

In another corner, a familiar and captivating White-robed Beauty moved her eyes slightly, her gaze constantly scanning the Thunder Rock Ravine, as if deliberately searching for something.

"The area of the Thunder Mansion is too vast. Lin Dong may be in another secret realm, or he may be trapped by something. It would be best if he didn't come, so we can harvest the Heart of Thunder in peace."

The powerful expert from the Profound Heaven Hall, who was at the Death Mysterious Stage, said calmly.

"What Uncle-Master Tao said makes some sense, but for some reason, I feel a little uneasy..."

Liu Xiangxuan frowned slightly and gently rubbed her brow with her slender hands.

"Boom!!!"

Just then, a powerful wave, as majestic as a giant dragon, suddenly burst forth from the Thunder Rock Ravine, causing the entire bottom of Thunder Lake to vibrate and startle everyone, who instinctively looked toward the source of the anomaly.

"Splash! Splash!"

A towering Silver Figure, several meters tall and seemingly forged from lightning, slowly emerged. The moment it appeared, the Silver Thunder Slurry in the entire Thunder Lake went berserk, as if it were cheering for something.

Some beings who had just entered the Life Mysterious Stage were immediately enveloped by that immense pressure. Their bodies trembled uncontrollably, like ants encountering a giant dragon. Their faces changed drastically as they retreated frantically, trying to escape that terrifying area.

A powerful expert at the Death Mysterious Stage, Perfected Completion!

"A Death Mysterious Stage, Great Circle expert?!"

"Damn it, Silver Corpse with strength comparable to the Death Mysterious Stage, Perfected Completion has appeared! Run! It's too late!!"

Gazing at the Silver Figure that had caused such a tremendous phenomenon upon its birth, the thousands of Gold Prospector present were terrified and turned to flee.

Previously, some Silver Corpse had awakened from their slumber, but their strength was at most at the Half-step Death Mysterious Stage, and they were easily killed by the sheer number of people who swarmed them.

However, against a fully-fledged, seemingly at-its-prime, Death Mysterious Stage, Perfected Completion, no matter how many people there were, they wouldn't be enough to withstand a single slap from such Peak Expert.

"Death Mysterious Stage, Perfected Completion?! Young Master /Miss, run!!"

The two Death Mysterious Stage elders from the Nine Nether Gate and the Profound Heaven Hall also changed their expressions drastically upon seeing this, and grabbed their Young Master, attempting to escape onto the lake.

"Please be quiet, everyone."

Just as the lake bottom was in complete chaos, a light laugh fell, and two more figures, one large and one small, emerged.

"Lin... Lin Dong? What's he doing here?"

"That Silver Corpse didn't attack him at all. Could it be that he can control that expert at the peak of the Death Mysterious Stage, Perfected Completion? That's impossible!!"

The thousands of Gold Prospector stared blankly at Lin Dong, who appeared beside the Silver Figure, as if they had gone mad.

"Thank you all for collecting so many Heart of Thunder for Lin Dong. You've all worked hard. Now that you've handed over the Heart of Thunder to me, you may all leave."

Lin Dong stepped forward and laughed loudly.

"... How could there be such shameless people in the world?!"

The eyes of many powerful figures twitched violently, and they roared madly in their hearts.

"Why should I? Lin Dong, I admit you're strong, but what gives you the right to take back our spoils? Are you trying to fight everyone here all by yourself?!"

A middle-aged man with the strength of Life Mysterious Stage, Perfected Completion couldn't help but step forward.

The middle-aged man had acquired four Heart of Thunder on this trip, and he had no intention of handing over these spoils of war that he had fought so hard for. After all, the allure of profit is strong.

"Boom!!!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a Hundred-zhang Thunder Dragon slashed down, instantly turning this veteran expert, who had been at the Life Mysterious Stage, Perfected Completion for many years, into ashes. The surrounding experts were so frightened that they retreated in a frenzy, avoiding him like the plague.

"On what grounds? Because I am Zuo Fei, the Eastern Thunder King of my Thunder Mansion! You lowly invaders must drop all the Heart of Thunder you have stolen, or you will all die!"

The tall figure, who had been frozen in place like a puppet, slowly lowered his arm, his eyes, gleaming with a brilliant silver light, coldly staring at everyone present.

"It's over. This Silver Corpse actually still has the wisdom and memories of its previous life. It's not one of those Demonic Corpse corpses that only knew how to kill."

"Eastern Thunder King Zuo Fei? Could he be one of the Four Great Thunder Kings from the Ancient Thunder Mansion?"

The commotion quickly spread among the crowd.

"You say I, Lin Dong, am not qualified, but surely the Eastern Thunder King of the Thunder Mansion is qualified? What are you looking at? Quickly hand over all your things! These are all public property, to be confiscated. This is theft? Don't you understand theft?"

"Come on, listen to me, hand over the Heart of Thunder to me. I'm just keeping them safe for Senior Eastern Thunder King. I'll return them to their rightful owners later. Don't worry, I, Lin Dong, will never embezzle even a single Heart of Thunder."

Lin Dong strode to Zuo Fei's side and patted his chest confidently to assure him.

"... I really didn't believe your nonsense!"

Everyone sighed deeply, but the situation was beyond their control. Reluctantly, they could only obediently hand over their hard-earned harvest and then flee towards the lake as if escaping.

Some clever individuals also planned to hide a few Heart of Thunder, but since the Half-step Death Mysterious Stage expert they had been hiding was killed by Zuo Lei's palm strike, no one dared to make such a move again, and the speed increased considerably.

"Young Master, let's make a decision soon."

Seeing that the number of powerful figures present was dwindling, the Death Mysterious Stage elder of the Nine Nether Gate became anxious and immediately urged Pang Hao repeatedly.

"Damn it, why does Lin Dong have the Eastern Thunder King of the Ancient Thunder Mansion bowing down to him? I refuse to accept this! I refuse to accept this!!"

Pang Hao roared angrily in a low voice for a while, his expression extremely ferocious.

"Young Master, please reconsider..."

Just as the gray-haired old man thought Pang Hao was going to fight Lin Dong to the death, Pang Hao suddenly took a deep breath and said calmly, "A wise man doesn't fight a losing battle. Let's let him go this time."

The old man in gray. "..."

"Elder Liu, a small act of impatience can ruin a great plan. Let's go and hand over the Heart of Thunder."

Pang Hao rubbed his stiff face vigorously with his large hands, forcing a smile, and even offered a word of advice to the gray-robed old man.

"Yes, yes, yes, we must endure it."

The old man in gray nodded blankly.

"I knew Lin Dong wouldn't be content with being alone. I never expected him to directly control the Ancient Expert Eastern Thunder King Zuo Fei. Sigh, I never thought that after fighting for half a day, everything would benefit someone else."

From the Profound Heaven Hall camp, White-robed Beauty a remarkably pure and holy aura sighed softly, "Let's go. The Nine Nether Gate has already given in. What are we waiting for?"
