As the storeroom was blasted open, the Spirit Stones destroyed, and the Spiritual Energy diffused into the world, Lu Chengyun felt it too.
His heart ached sharply as if pricked by needles.
These were Spirit Stones! Collected through hard labor, enslaving Mining Cultivators, controlling zombies, mining, and his accumulated wealth!
With these Spirit Stones, he could bribe officials of the Taoist Court, buy support from various powers, strengthen the Lu Family, obtain various Cultivation World resources, and elevate his own cultivation level!
Yet now, they were all destroyed!
What was even harder for him to accept was the situation with the Formation of Ten Thousand Corpses!
With the Spirit Stones destroyed, the Formation eye of the Formation of Ten Thousand Corpses would be cut off from its supply.
Although it could still barely operate on the remaining Evil Power, within ten days, as the Evil Power was exhausted, the Formation of Ten Thousand Corpses would halt.
Without the Formation of Ten Thousand Corpses running to continuously refine zombies, how could he contend with the Taoist Soldiers?
Lu Chengyun's gaze turned icy. "It looks like I need to find another solution…"
Stay tuned for updates on empire
But then he was puzzled.
How did the Taoist Court figure out that he powered his Evil Formation with Spiritual Power?
And how did they learn that his Spirit Stones were hidden in the secret storeroom?
Was there a traitor within the Corpse Mine who leaked all its secrets?
"Impossible…"
Lu Chengyun shook his head.
Those in the know had either been killed by him or sacrificed by him.
The rest were just Corpse Cultivators.
These Corpse Cultivators had been with him for a long time, killing and refining corpses, with blood-stained hands.
As long as they practiced Corpse Path cultivation techniques, they would have fallen into the Demon Path, and it was impossible for them to switch allegiance to the Taoist Court.
Even if they did switch sides, it would be a death sentence.
They couldn't have leaked secrets…
"So, someone at the Taoist Court saw through the bluff of the Corpse Mine and also through the Formation I laid out?"
A cultivator with such capabilities and Formation attainments must be a remarkable person.
But who could this person be?
When did they set their sights on him?
Lu Chengyun furrowed his brow.
A sudden premonition came over him.
It was as if someone had long ago spun a web around him, tightly ensnaring him, and was now watching him eagerly, closing in step by step…
Who was this person?
And what exactly was this web?
Lu Chengyun was confused.
Behind him, the fierce and majestic Corpse King remained silently loyal.
