Upon hearing the Queen’s words, Ren Qi did not hesitate and directly led the Queen to the warehouse.

With the oath from before, he and the Queen were now the closest partners!

After arriving at the warehouse entrance, Ren Qi let Elise go in and take out the Pure Holy Stones.

Looking at the warehouse in front of her, the Dark Elf Queen said thoughtfully, “The space here is very mysterious. I can’t even sense the situation inside. No wonder I didn’t sense the location of the Pure Holy Stone before.”

Hearing the Dark Elf Queen’s words, Ren Qi’s forehead broke out in cold sweat.

If the Dark Elf Queen had known the location of the Pure Holy Stone before, she might have directly snatched it. At that time, even if Elise was there, she might not be able to stop her.

As for Feng Ya, as the daughter of the Dark Elf Queen, she might have something that could save her life.

The Dark Elf Queen glanced at Ren Qi with a hint of regret in her eyes.

After the Pure Holy Stone was taken out, the Dark Elf Queen went to the Pure Holy Stone and took out a black bag.

This bag was very small, and there were many patterns engraved on it.

The Dark Elf Queen opened the bag, and the souls of dark-type creatures flew out and quickly entered the Pure Holy Stone.

Ren Qi’s eyes lit up. That small bag could actually store the souls of dark-type creatures!

The souls of dark-type creatures quickly entered the Pure Holy Stone and disappeared. Then, the black Pure Holy Stone suddenly emitted a bright light.

The Dark Elf Queen’s expression changed slightly as she placed her hand on the Pure Holy Stone.

Waves of energy that had been purified by the Pure Holy Stone began to feed back into the Dark Elf Queen’s body from the stone.

The Dark Elf Queen’s eyes were tightly shut, and a comfortable expression appeared on her face.

This kind of life-class advancement was enough to make any creature addicted.

After a while, the Dark Elf Queen slowly opened her eyes, and a ray of light flashed past her eyes.

“The Pure Holy Stone has improved a lot. The remaining holy stone can only transfer about one-tenth of it, and there will also be impurities. It requires a lot of effort to remove.”

Hearing the Dark Elf Queen, Ren Qi raised his eyebrows.

Previously, the Black Goblins said that the holy stone was a gift from the God of Darkness. If it wasn’t the Pure Holy Stone, it would be affected by the God of Darkness.

Previously, when Tina had bewitched the black goblins, those who were affected by the holy stone that wasn’t a Pure Holy Stone couldn’t be bewitched.

At that time, Tina had said that she had discovered some other power in the spiritual world of these black goblins.

And now, the impurity according to the Dark Elf Queen’s words should be this.

After thinking for a moment, Ren Qi still asked, “Your Highness, is the impurity you speak of the influence left behind by the so-called God of Darkness?”

The Shadow Elven queen was stunned. “God of Darkness?”

“That’s right. The Black Goblins told me before that this holy stone was given to them by the God of Darkness. If It’s not a Pure Holy Stone, it will be affected by the power of the God of Darkness.”

The Dark Elf Queen frowned. “That’s a strange statement. According to my understanding, the Holy Stone is a special item formed from the condensation of extreme energy.”

“The Pure Holy Stone was obtained from our Dark Elf Holy Tree before. It’s the heart of the Holy Tree.”

“I originally thought that the Pure Holy Stone was unique. But later on, I obtained a non-pure holy stone. Fusing it with the Pure Holy Stone can increase the conversion ratio of the Pure Holy Stone.”

“As for the impurities in it, it’s indeed a powerful will. However, it’s hard to say if it’s the so-called God of Darkness.”

“However, to be able to have such a method to affect the person who uses the pure holy stone, the owner of this will must be at least a saint-level existence.”

Ren Qi nodded. It could be considered that he had a rough understanding of the holy stone and the Pure Holy Stone.

Following that, Ren Qi’s gaze landed on the black bag in the hands of the Dark Elf Queen that could store the souls of dark-type creatures.

“Your Highness, what is this bag? It can actually store the souls of dark-type creatures.” Ren Qi pretended to be surprised.

The Dark Elf Queen raised her eyebrows and said, “This is made from the bark of the Holy Tree and my special power. It can store the souls of 3,000 dark-type creatures. Why? Do you want it?”

It could store the souls of 3,000 dark-type creatures?

Ren Qi’s eyes immediately lit up when he heard this.

Because of the Pure Holy Stone, Elise and the others needed to bring back the corpses of dark-type creatures to hunt.

The other monsters were okay. They could be transported back to decompose the corpses, but the humanoid monsters were useless except for feeding their souls to the Pure Holy Stone. They were very cumbersome.

Moreover, after killing the monsters, they had to be transported back to the territory quickly. Otherwise, their souls would slowly dissipate.

The longer it took, the weaker the soul power absorbed by the Pure Holy Stone would be.

He couldn’t let Elise bring the Pure Holy Stone with her when she was hunting, right?

With this storage bag, all the problems could be solved.

Ren Qi smiled and said, “Your Highness, we are all allies. If you have such a good thing, give me eight or ten of them to play with.”

“Eight or ten? Now I only have five in total. If you want it, you can exchange for it,” The Dark Elf Queen said bluntly.

In the end, Ren Qi exchanged two of these dark-type soul storage pouches for two thousand energy crystals each.

The Dark Elf Queen briefly told Ren Qi about the specific alliance and then left Ren Qi’s territory with Tasuya.

On the way back to the black mist forest, Tasuya looked at the dark elven queen and asked in puzzlement, “Your Highness, why did you ally with this guy?”

Tasuya had thought that even if they did not attack this territory directly, they would still bring a large number of elf warriors to intimidate this guy.

However, she did not expect that her highness would actually agree to that Lord’s conditions and even ally with him.

The Dark Elf Queen’s eyes flickered as she said, “Tasuya, do you think that our Dark Elf race is more powerful than his territory?”

Tasuya replied without hesitation, “Of course, our dark elves are more powerful. Not to mention you, Your Highness, we have more than 20 Tier 8 elf elders, and many of them are about to break through to Tier 9.”

The Dark Elf Queen nodded and said, “That’s right. Because of that, our alliance with him won’t affect us too much.”

“If something happens to his territory, we can easily help him. If something happens to our dark elves, he will do his best to help us.”

Tasya’s eyes lit up and said, “If he dies because of helping us, we can get the Pure Holy Stone back.”

The Dark Elven queen shook her head and said, “I hope that his power will become stronger and stronger. Also, I hope that the territory that he said has a Tier 9 undying blood phoenix is really his friend.”

Tasuya was stunned. She looked at the Dark Elf Queen and asked, “Your Highness, what are you doing?”

The Dark Elf Queen looked up at the black Fog in the sky and said, “Tasuya, don’t you find the black fog in the sky very familiar?”

Tasuya was stunned. “It’s exactly the same as it was a hundred years ago.”

The Dark Elf Queen nodded and said, “That’s right. It’s the same as a hundred years ago. A hundred years ago, we came to this world because of a black fog. At that time, the bark of the Holy Tree fell off, revealing the heart of the Holy Tree, which is the Pure Holy Stone.”

Tasuya said, “However, it was precisely because we came to this world that we were able to get rid of the elemental elves’ pursuit and develop very well.”

“Although this world also has the threat of a Lord, we hid and developed steadily for a hundred years.”

The Dark Elf Queen sighed and said, “A hundred years have passed since that black fog appeared. Now that the black fog has appeared again, and the black mist forest where we are is directly transmitted here, I’m still quite nervous.”

“I don’t know what kind of things will be discovered. It’s naturally better to make preparations early.”

“The lords’ strength has increased very quickly. Even though this Ren Qi territory isn’t very strong right now, compared to the other new lords around the black mist forest, his strength has increased very quickly.”

“I still think highly of him. I hope that if anything happens, he’ll be able to help our dark elf race.”

There was one more thing the Dark Elf Queen did not tell Tasuya, and that was that she was very uneasy. She had a premonition that something extremely serious might happen.

Leaving Feng Ya in Ren Qi’s territory was also a backup plan.

…

After sending off the Dark Elf Queen in the succubus territory, Ren Qi let Elise go hunting. With the black bag that stored the souls of dark-type creatures, Elise could have a much easier time.

After Elise left, Feng Ya pestered Ren Qi.

She only had a good impression of Ren Qi here, and she was very curious about the territory she had never seen before. She pestered Ren Qi to introduce the surrounding buildings to her.

Now that there was nothing else to do, Ren Qi decided to bring Feng Ya around to tour the surroundings.

At this moment, in the Xuan Ming territory, Zhao Yuheng and the other two were discussing something.

In the sky above the Xuan Ming territory, Zhao Yuheng’s huge floating fortress was floating quietly.

Zhao Yuheng looked at the two of them and said, “From what we know now, what will happen after the calm period has a lot to do with the black fog.”

“A hundred years ago, the black fog descended, and the whole world changed. The demon caves and monsters appeared, and people also had the ability to awaken as lords.”

“But all of this seemed to have happened suddenly, and no one knew the reason behind it.”

“Our ancestors have been trying to find the reason for the appearance of the black fog, and they obtained a prophecy.”

“That is, a hundred years from now, the black fog will appear again, and by then, everything will be answered.”

As she spoke, Zhao Yuheng’s gaze landed on Tian Jizi. “You have awakened the military branch of that senior from a hundred years ago and can predict some things. However, there isn’t much prediction about the black fog now. You only know that something big will happen after the calm period.”

“As for me, I followed the instructions of my family’s prophecy and used those holy scrolls to materialize my territory into a special place in the black fog.”

“I obtained this thing over there.”

After saying this, Zhao Yuheng took out the fiery-red saint stone that she had obtained.

Tian Jizi and Xuan Ming’s eyes landed on the fire-type holy stone in Zhao Yuheng’s hand. A trace of shock flashed across their eyes!

“Holy Stone?!”

“Such a thing actually exists!”

Tian Jizi and Xuan Ming exclaimed in shock.

In the books passed down by the family, there was a mention of the holy stone, which was classified as the top secret.

However, there was only the name of the holy stone and a blurry picture. Other than that, there was nothing else.

However, from the teachings they had received for generations, everything seemed to revolve around the holy stone.

Zhao Yuheng’s eyes flickered as she said, “That’s right. This is the life and death mentioned by our ancestors!”

“Moreover, this piece of mine is a fire-type Pure Holy Stone!”

Xuan Ming heard this and said, “Fire-type Pure Holy Stone? Could it be that the Holy Stone is not just a single piece?”

Zhao Yuheng said, “According to my current understanding, not only is the Holy Stone not one piece, but there are also different types of Holy Stones. There are also Pure Holy Stones and ordinary Holy Stones.”

Tian Jizi frowned and said, “What do you mean? I can’t think straight.”

Zhao yuheng said, “First, I’ll give you a brief introduction of the use of the holy stone. The holy stone can absorb the souls of dead creatures and turn them into pure energy. It can help soldiers or monsters to break past their life-level and make a breakthrough!”

“What?! Break through the life-level? Help soldiers or monsters to advance?”

Xuan Ming and Tian Jizi looked at each other with great shock in their eyes.

“What’s wrong?”Zhao Yuheng asked with a frown.

Although the holy stone was very powerful, it shouldn’t have surprised the two of them so much, right?

Xuan Ming said, “Sir, you should know about the Ren Qi that I told you about, right?”

Zhao Yuheng nodded. “Of course I do. The large amount of resources this time were obtained by working together with him.”

Xuan Ming said, “That’s right, sir. Previously, when we investigated Ren Qi’s territory and troops, we received news that Ren Qi’s troops can upgrade on their own!”

“Previously, we were a little curious. Now that we’ve heard about the use of the Holy Stone, we’re wondering if Ren Qi has a Holy Stone, which is why his troops can upgrade?”

Zhao Yuheng’s eyes suddenly lit up. “The use of the Holy Stone is powerful, and it’s very important. It’s very important. If this Ren Qi really has the Holy Stone, it would be a good thing for us.”

Xuan Ming said, “Sir, please continue.”

Zhao Yuheng said with a serious expression, “The holy stone is divided into ordinary Holy Stones and Pure Holy Stones. Ordinary Holy Stones contain a powerful willpower.”

“If you use ordinary Holy Stones to extract soul power and feed it back, you will suffer a backlash from this willpower.”

“According to the fire-type creatures that I stole the Holy Stone from, this holy stone was a gift from the God of Fire.”

“I suspect that the two appearances of the black fog may have something to do with the powerful willpower inside the Holy Stone.”
