Others . . .

Cha Eun Xiao, naturally, saw it fit to store these valuable items in the Water Space, where they would be carefully preserved.

When it came to the various spaces, such as the Sky Space, Wood Space, and Water Space, they had reaped substantial rewards. These spaces were designed to house special and rare items, so it was understandable that they couldn't accumulate as much as other spaces.

As for the Fire Space, Cha Eun Xiao stumbled upon a batch of Fire Crystal Stones, a gift from the Long Clan that had come at a steep price. However, upon depositing them into the Fire Space, they transformed into ashes within seconds. It was evident that the Fire Space held no particular regard for these stones.

Cha Eun Xiao couldn't help but notice a significant spike in temperature within the Fire Space. In its center, a radiant droplet of liquid beckoned his attention.

He shook his head and commended, [Fire Crystal Stones are incredibly valuable assets for those practicing fire-based martial arts. They contain the essence of fire and possess remarkable hardness. Yet, after depositing hundreds of kilograms of Fire Crystal Stones into the Fire Space, all that remained was a single droplet of liquid!

Everything else vanished!

I can't help but be moved by this sight! It's truly a challenging task to fill this space!]

Turning his focus to the Spirit Space, Cha Eun Xiao promptly deposited a number of Spiritual Stones. The Cosmic Hades reacted instantaneously, albeit in a restrained manner, owing to its extraordinary sensitivity, especially when it came to items of interest. Cha Eun Xiao dared not continue filling it further.

A myriad of peculiar metals found their place in the Gold Space.

The remaining treasures, including a substantial quantity of Spiritual Stones, were bundled into the Space Ring that Cha Eun Xiao had wrested from Gu Jinlong.

While it was feasible to continue depositing these items into the spaces in a slow and cautious manner, allowing them time to assimilate, Cha Eun Xiao didn't find this approach to his liking. The cold qi eruption, although tumultuous, proved advantageous to him. It facilitated digestion. How could he possibly forego such an opportunity?

Hence, he opted to retain certain items that had the potential to induce eruptions of the Cosmic Hades. In this regard, Cha Eun Xiao had gained considerable experience.

From his perspective, the items he preserved had the potential to trigger seven or eight Cosmic Hades eruptions... and he held great confidence in this estimate.

[I am currently in the third level of the Sky Origin Stage. After seven or eight eruptions... I'll ascend directly to the Spirit Origin Stage!

That's the day I'll return to the Qing-Yun Realm!]

As he organized everything, Cha Eun Xiao mused about his future. He waved his hand repeatedly, and as he did, the items vanished one by one.

In Wan Zhenghao's perspective, Feng Monarch was systematically transferring all the retrieved items into his space ring.

[This is to be expected. If I possessed a space ring, I would do the same. Though perhaps, my approach would differ slightly from his. Feng Monarch evidently enjoys an incredibly spacious room within the ring!

I've never heard of such a vast expanse existing inside a space ring... Nevertheless, he is the Monarch, and he undoubtedly possesses an abundance of valuable treasures!]

Remarkably, within just two hours, Cha Eun Xiao had successfully assimilated all these items. Meanwhile, Liu Changjun had succumbed to slumber, recognizing that rest was the most effective way to recuperate.

The sky gradually brightened, and after an entire night of tumultuous battle, Boundless Lake and Sunlight Sect had decided to cease hostilities. Both sects needed to attend to their respective casualties and formulate strategies for the ongoing war.

The members of the five clans, their eyes weary and bloodshot, gazed toward the eastern horizon. They were awaiting orders.

"At daybreak, we'll head to Ling-Bao Hall."

The long night had finally passed, and daylight had arrived!

...

A significant portion of Chen-Xing City's population, roughly thirty percent, had been sleepless throughout the night. This included individuals residing within a fifty-mile radius of the royal palace, as well as royal officials, martial sect members, and assassins.

Among these, a particular figure stood out—Master Bai of the Chaotic Storms House. He too had not slept a wink.

Seated in his wheelchair with crystalline eyes, Master Bai's gaze remained perpetually clear, calm, and unwavering, as if he were immune to the troubles of the world. He listened to reports from various quarters in Chen-Xing City with a perpetual smile.

His methodical analysis of the information was evident.

No matter how chaotic the situation, he had a remarkable talent for sifting through the details and arranging them into a coherent narrative. Mistakes were not part of his repertoire.

"They've initiated their counterattack. They're employing various intriguing strategies to resist. Such creative tactics," Master Bai remarked with a smile, casting his gaze towards Wan-Er, who stood beside him.

Wan-Er nodded in agreement, mirroring his smile.

"It's quite an intriguing adversary this time," Master Bai pondered before speaking in a hushed tone. "It's likely Feng Monarch of Ling-Bao Hall... No one else possesses the same vitality and stratagem."

Wan-Er concurred with a nod, adding, "I think you might be right."

Master Bai, however, shook his head and continued, "Perhaps it's not him alone."

He tilted his head upward and half-closed his eyes. Two beams of light emanated from his eyes, converging with the morning's first rays of sunlight.

In a soft voice, he elaborated, "Over the course of a single night, turmoil erupted in various places. Maybe it wasn't solely his doing... Someone is assisting him. That individual must be the mastermind behind these stratagems."

As he gazed into the golden morning light, he remarked, "He undoubtedly has supporters. He recently acquired them. If he possessed the means to disrupt the equilibrium in the capital, he wouldn't have needed my assistance on that day."

"Furthermore, Feng Zhiling may be astute, but his abilities have limits... If he were the mastermind behind all this, he would have foreseen the consequences of our collaboration. He would have understood that I could only provide a temporary solution to his predicament. The ensuing challenges would be far more perilous. He would have realized that joining forces with me on that day was an ill-fated choice!".
