"Sound String · Kill!"
The exploding sound waves wiped out the last batch of White Demon Eagles in sight, leaving Mu Ningwei slightly exhausted.
Over a hundred thousand White Demon Eagles had been slaughtered into fragments. Only a small number escaped alive; all the rest became souls within Mu Ningwei's Dark Cross.
Throughout vast Hangcheng, millions of citizens looked up at the sky, contributing an immense amount of faith.
The corners of Mu Ningwei's lips curled upward.
He had deliberately told Tang Zhong to sound only one warning alarm precisely for this harvest.
When it came to gathering faith on a large scale, nothing was easier than displaying one's divinity before the masses.
What could better display divinity before the people of Hangcheng than killing the Silver Sky Lord and sending countless White Demon Eagles fleeing in defeat?
His Faith Divine Power surged, skyrocketed, and exploded!
This harvest even surpassed what he had gained when he once saved half a city.
After all, what European city could compare to the population density of a city in Divine Land?
With such immense faith, if Mu Ningwei chose the path of condensing a divine spark, he could likely use Faith Divine Power to temporarily unleash Sub-Monarch combat strength.
After another dozen or so times, he would be able to defeat trash like Cardinal Leng Jue.
After a hundred times, he might even break through to Emperor...
At that thought, Mu Ningwei was already looking forward to what blessing Athena would grant him.
Condensing a divine position with his current strength was far too inefficient!
Fei Yi appeared behind Mu Ningwei. "My King, the Silver Sky Lord dropped strange feathers and strange bones."
"The Feather Demon Monarch's speed surpasses all others of its tier. I can refine them into a super-tier Winged Demon Gear. What do you think?"
Fei Yi had lived for a long time. She possessed vampire forging techniques passed down for thousands of years and was also proficient in modern European magic gear forging. Even the most difficult super-tier Winged Demon Gear was within her ability to create.
Mu Ningwei examined Fei Yi.
Fei Yi smiled as she spun in a circle, then bowed respectfully. "My King, I have accumulated enough energy to break through. Once I refine it all, I can become an Intermediate Monarch and serve you even better."
"Congratulations."
"I should be thanking you for your reward."
Leng Qing and the others flew over on their Winged Demon Gear, looking at Mu Ningwei with burning gazes.
Mu Ningwei roughly understood that they wanted to recruit him, so he cut them off first.
"I want to rest for a while. Please clean up the battlefield."
Leng Qing immediately said, "All right. Ningwei, go rest first."
"Everyone, I shall take my leave with my King."
Fei Yi gave a slight bow and flew away with Mu Ningwei.
Leng Qing stared at Fei Yi's retreating figure.
Tang Zhong sighed. "The Mu Clan is truly about to rise. I just wonder whether this Mu Ningwei can lead the Mu Clan into becoming a great clan."
Zhu Meng asked doubtfully, "That Fei Yi is definitely a vampire. How can she move beneath the sun? Even when Mu Ningwei unleashed the Demon Judging Sword, she was completely unafraid. She even got close to the Silver Sky Lord and landed a control attack."
Leng Qing withdrew her gaze and said with certainty, "She is Ningwei's subordinate. It is normal for her not to fear the light."
How was that normal?!
Zhu Meng and Tang Zhong exchanged glances, finding it amusing.
The eldest princess of the Azure Hunter Institute had fallen for Mu Ningwei!
After returning to his residence.
Mu Ningwei meditated to restore his Blessing Element magic energy, then cast a Blessing Magic spell on himself that would automatically replenish magic energy. He was in no rush to seek Athena.
Each audience with Athena was equivalent to Mu Ningwei offering his Faith Divine Power to her in exchange for blessings.
It was similar to how a Shadow Mage sacrificed magic energy to the Dark Plane in order to cast magic.
Hangcheng was still contributing faith to him. Once Luo Mian and the others promoted him later, another large batch of faith would come rolling in.
Mu Ningwei planned to collect all the Faith Divine Power first, then make the offering in exchange for a greater blessing.
For now...
"One hundred and ten thousand Servant Level Remnant Souls, thirteen thousand General Level Remnant Souls, and eight Commander-level Remnant Souls."
Even though they were incomplete, such an enormous amount of soul power was still incredibly vast.
Mu Ningwei fed them to the Dark Pseudo-Dragon.
The Dark Pseudo-Dragon ate less than half before falling into slumber.
Once it awoke, its strength would at least reach the Advancing Tier!
"The Silver Sky Lord's Soul Essence, along with two Six-Clawed Demon Eagle Soul Essences."
Mu Ningwei intended to refine the two Six-Clawed Demon Eagle Soul Essences into Dark Servants, then feed them Remnant Souls and raise them to Advancing Tier Commanders.
As for the Silver Sky Lord's Soul Essence, he could only keep it for now.
Once his Shadow Element broke through to the super tier, he would be able to refine a Monarch-level Dark Servant.
"Once Fei Yi breaks through to Intermediate Monarch, my shadow servants will have one Monarch and three peak Commanders."
It could be said that this battle had vastly increased the combat power of Mu Ningwei's servants.
Besides that, there were also tremendous gains:
Nearly two thousand Servant Level Soul Essences.
Around a hundred General Level Soul Essences.
These Soul Essences were enough to sell for ten billion at market price.
Mu Ningwei himself also had quite a few savings and treasures. Converted into money, his private stash was worth around fifteen billion.
"With this money, along with the Winged Demon Gear refined by Fei Yi, I can probably trade for an ordinary Heavenly Seed."
"But Heavenly Seeds are hard to find, and an ordinary Heavenly Seed cannot satisfy my appetite."
Mu Ningwei's current Soul Seed was a top-grade treasure stored by the Nine Hidden Clans behind Parthenon, no weaker than half a Heavenly Seed.
On top of that, because of the merits he had earned back then, Temple Mother Pamirs had personally presided over Divine Seal Praise, increasing the base power of his Light Element by 1.8 times.
Mu Ningwei's Light Magic had already been comparable to magic enhanced by a Heavenly Seed.
If the amplification from Blessing Magic was included, it was already comparable to a Great Heavenly Seed.
Therefore, Mu Ningwei hoped to fuse with a Great Heavenly Seed of the Light Element. An ordinary Heavenly Seed could not meet his requirements.
With that thought, Mu Ningwei shook his head and called Mu Zhanxing.
"Ningwei?"
"Uncle Mu, I hope you can send several elders to Hangcheng."
"What happened?"
Mu Zhanxing was curious. What could possibly make Mu Ningwei seek assistance from the clan?
Mu Ningwei explained what had happened.
"...Hangcheng will definitely organize people to explore the treasure land of the White Demon Eagle tribe. I hope the clan can participate and obtain the share it deserves."
"I trust Uncle Mu has plenty of experience in this area, so I will not say more."
Mu Zhanxing was silent for a long while.
"Ah?"
"You are saying you killed that Great Monarch, the Silver Sky Lord, and even crippled its tribe! Ah?"
"No, you and I... This, this, this!"
Mu Ningwei curled his lips, seemingly able to see Mu Zhanxing's dumbfounded expression.
"That is indeed the case. I hope you send people over immediately."
"Also, I hope the clan can negotiate with Hangcheng's higher-ups on my behalf. I want resources that can help the Shadow Element break through. I plan to advance my Shadow Element."
Mu Zhanxing said excitedly, "No problem!"
"The territory of a Great Monarch, an untouched treasure land that has never been developed, and now there is no threat at all. One can imagine how many resources are inside!"
"Ningwei, you killed the Silver Sky Lord. If our Mu Clan joins the development, we will definitely receive an enormous share!"
"With so many resources... I will find a way to ask a military master to help condense a Light Element Heavenly Seed for you. How about it?"
Mu Ningwei chuckled. "There is no need for a Heavenly Seed. Uncle Mu, help me gather resources for a Sound Element breakthrough, then exchange for resources for a Blessing Element breakthrough through Parthenon."
"As long as the resources reach me within half a year, that will be enough."
Mu Zhanxing said, "All right. Ningwei, focus on your cultivation. Tell the clan whatever resources you need, and we will do everything we can to satisfy you!"
Mu Ningwei hung up and continued restoring his magic energy.
Two hours later.
Mu Zhanxing called again, his tone strange.
"Ningwei, Parthenon is willing to give you the resources for a Blessing Element breakthrough for free and personally deliver them to the country."
Mu Ningwei thought for a moment. "Then accept them."
"All right. I heard that the one delivering the resources is the First Saintess, Ash Riya. Once she is done with her current matters, she will fly to the country."
"...Oh, I understand."
Mu Ningwei hung up, somewhat absent-minded until the door to his room was pushed open.
Mu Nujiao hugged Mu Ningwei, her eyes full of curiosity. "Brother Ningwei, were you the one who defeated the White Demon Eagle tribe today?"
"It was me."
"Brother Ningwei, you are amazing!"
Little stars lit up in Mu Nujiao's eyes.
Mu Ningwei smiled. "In a few days, come meet an old friend with me."
Mu Nujiao did not ask further and nodded in agreement.
