Precisely because of this!
The Sea Suppressing Alliance's losses this time were far too great!
Not only had it lost a Nascent Soul-level power!
More importantly, it had lost a medium-sized Spirit Vein—a nonrenewable resource!

Likewise, it was because... Cheng Buzheng had acted too cleanly, provoking this backlash.
It was absolutely incomparable to the time he had wiped out the Huangfu Immortal Clan's core upper echelon.
For one, back then he had not had the time to slaughter them all.
For another, he had not destroyed the Spirit Vein.
That was the key.
At this thought, Cheng Buzheng became even more certain of the conjecture in his heart!

After running through the calculations in his mind, Cheng Buzheng's steps unconsciously quickened by
