“Get all these resources back to the Crown of the Ocean, not a single unit should be left behind!”

“Yes!”

The mighty army of the Crown of the Ocean behind them transformed into porters, starting to move large quantities of rare resources away.

Between the Dragon King’s Treasury and the Archway, a long line appeared, carrying away everything from the treasury bit by bit, like ants.

Ji Chen stood aside, in a very good mood, thinking that the resources needed for recruiting troops over the past few weeks had found their place.

Exploring dangerous yet treasure-filled realms, defeating powerful enemies, obtaining treasures with abundant resources, and recruiting even stronger troops – every step was filled with excitement and thrill, bringing a tremendous sense of accomplishment.

It was this sense of accomplishment that drove him to keep adventuring and striving for more.

Sonia noticed the commotion and rushed over.

Upon seeing Ji Chen, she saluted and said, “Congratulations, my lord, for successfully connecting the Great Luminescent Sea with the main world, allowing the sea clan of the Great Luminescent Sea to no longer be confined to their own realm.

With the treasures you’ve gained from the Dragon King’s Treasury, my lord will undoubtedly be able to strengthen the Crown of the Ocean and lead us to conquer even stronger enemies.”

Ji Chen smiled and nodded. Although he didn’t pay much attention to the congratulatory words, it was still nice to hear them occasionally.

“We don’t need to dwell on these words; I have a question for you.”

“My lord, please ask.”

“Is there a Spirit Crystal vein within the Great Luminescent Sea?”

“Spirit Crystal vein?” Sonia looked a bit puzzled at first, but upon seeing the long line of resource porters, she quickly understood. “My lord, did you find Spirit Crystals in the Dragon King’s Treasury?”

Ji Chen nodded without hesitation.

“Within the territory of the Coral Palace, there is no Spirit Crystal vein, but the Dragon King’s Treasury might have one… However, we’ll need to interrogate Diago, the former ruler of the Dragon King’s Castle, for that.”

When it came to who knew the Dragon King’s Castle best, it had to be the last Water Dragon King, Diago.

This matter was of great importance. After instructing Alice to oversee the resource transportation, Ji Chen took Sonia to the prison in the Dragon King’s Castle.

Seeing his arrival, Diago’s face became incredibly dark, and his gaze was filled with malice.

“What are you doing here, human? Are you here to mock me?

1’11 tell you, even though I’ve become a prisoner, you won’t get the satisfaction of humiliating me!”

He shrugged, “1 don’t have such a perverse taste, and you’re not worth coming here to mock.

A mere underling who can’t even defeat my subordinates wants me to taunt him?”

Ji Chen’s indifferent attitude precisely hit Diago’s sore spot, making him tremble with anger.

He could be killed, but he wouldn’t allow himself to be ignored in such a manner.

“I’m here to ask you a question.”

“Want to ask me a question? You must be dreaming; I won’t answer any questions!”

Diago’s first instinct was to reject without hesitation because answering Ji Chen’s questions, his arch-nemesis, felt like surrendering to his own demise.

Ji Chen remained unfazed and said calmly, “If your answers satisfy me, perhaps I can let you leave this place… at least not to stay cooped up in this cramped cell, but to live in better accommodations and eat better food?”

Diago had originally intended to reject immediately, but then he stopped abruptly.

His small eyes glanced at the cramped prison where he had been stuck for days and remembered the pig slop he had been eating recently. Surprisingly, he felt a bit tempted.

However, he quickly regained his resolve and silently cursed himself.

Diago, oh Diago, you are the descendant of the Water Dragon King’s bloodline; how could you be tempted by these things!?

If you’re like this, how can you restore the glory of the Dragon King’s Castle?

“Are you really determined to stay quiet?”

“I won’t answer!”

“Then 1’11 start by killing your brother.”

Diago’s face lit up with joy. “Sure, go ahead!”
