Searching through the base with his divine sense, Xuan Hao soon smiled brightly as he discovered a small building with several different documents gathered stacked on top of each other located just a few dozen meters outside the area covered by his domain.
The only problem, was that the documents were part of the area covered by the domain of the Domain Lord in the deeper part of the cave… If he wanted to get his hands on the documents gathered inside the small building, he would have to break through the domain of the Domain Lord he was currently in the process of confronting.
The fight itself had not yet truly evolved into a real fight between Domain Lords and given that the Domain Lord was still hiding away in the deeper part of the cave. Only using his domain to fight with him over a distance, Xuan Hao guessed that the Domain Lord had no plan to reveal himself.
Thinking a bit about this, Xuan Hao felt like the Domain Lord inside the deeper parts of the cave should be waiting for someone to come and help him out… If this really was the case, the people aiming for the Iron Sky Kingdom was a lot stronger.
Having to fight one person in the Domain Lord Realm was different from having to fight two people in the Domain Lord Realm! Even Xuan Hao had no idea if he could do something like that and he didn't know how strong the person coming to help out would be either.
"Staying here for too long and getting my way out blocked, is not a good idea…" Muttering this to himself as he glanced over towards the deeper part of the cave, Xuan Hao didn't hesitate about making a move towards the small building filled with documents likely able to help him figure out what power the base belonged to in the first place.
Given that the person hidden in the deeper part of the cave did not look like he would be moving out before his backup arrived, Xuan Hao didn't bother with the clash between his and the hidden Domain Lord's domain any longer.
Whoosh~
Rushing towards the small building, Xuan Hao used his ice domain to carve a path directly through the hidden Domain Lord's domain towards the small building before the other party had even managed to react to the sudden change, Xuan Hao had already managed to store most of the documents inside the small building. Stuffing them into his interspatial ring without caring too much if he accidently damaged them in the process.
"Wha-"
The voice coming out from the Domain Lord hidden in the deeper part of the cave sounded out in a confused tone, as the person in question did not understand what Xuan Hao was doing and just watched speechlessly as he rushed forward.
"STOP!" Only after seeing all the documents inside the small building disappear into Xuan Hao's interspatial ring did he realize what he wanted to do.
However, by the point that the Domain Lord hidden inside the deeper part of the cave realized what Xuan Hao was doing, Xuan Hao had already begun retreating as he hastily made his way towards one of the many exits of the underground cave.
Not wanting to stay around when the backup of the Domain Lord hidden away inside the base showed up…
The Domain Lord in the deeper part of the cave seemed to want to rush out after him, but for some reason, still didn't come out to chase after him and instead stayed behind in the deeper part of the cave.
Seeing this, Xuan Hao could not help but feel curious about just what it was that the Domain Lord was guarding in the deeper part of the cave with so much determination.
Even when he had taken away so many documents that probably had a lot of information regarding the goals of the underground base, the Domain Lord still didn't chase after him and try to prevent him from leaving. Instead staying behind to defend something in the deeper part of the cave…
"Hm?" Just as he was about to make his way back out of the same tunnel he had entered through, the system suddenly decided to issue him a new quest.
[Side Quest 1/2: Explore the deeper part of the cave.]
[Reward: Unlock next part of the quest]
Checking out the quest as he had come to a stop at the entrance to the tunnel leading out of the underground cave, Xuan Hao felt a bit speechless.
He had just finished up inside the underground base and was on his way out, but the system had suddenly decided to issue him a new side quest that asked him to go back in…?
Other than that, the quest was a two-part side quest, and he wouldn't get anything from just completing the first part of the quest… At the very least, it looked like he would only get a reward after completing both the second and last part of the quest…
Boom!
Just as Xuan Hao was thinking about whether or not he should try entering the deeper part of the cave where the Domain Lord was hidden for the side quest, a terrifying aura could be felt rapidly approaching towards his direction from one of the other tunnels.
This aura alone was far stronger than the aura of the Domain Lord hidden inside the deeper part of the cave! The person approaching, should be the reinforcements that the Domain Lord inside the deeper parts of the cave had been waiting for, as Xuan Hao felt a drastic change happening inside the deeper part of the cave before a shadowy figure could be seen rushing over towards him filled with killing intent.
The Domain Lord in the deeper part of the cave no longer stood still as he made his way over to hopefully team up and deal with Xuan Hao before he could escape.
Whoosh!
Not wanting to be caught in a battle with two strong Domain Lords at once, Xuan Hao no longer thought about his new side quest and turned around before using his full speed to rush out from the underground cave before the two Domain Lords could join up and prevent him from leaving.
The entire thing happened within an instant and by the time Xuan Hao had made his way back up through the tunnel, the Nascent Soul Realm Expert guarding the trapdoor leading down into the tunnel beneath had not even returned and could be seen scolding the thief leader and the other thieves a few dozen meters away from the small building. Still unaware of just what had happened within the past few minutes.
Bang!
As he reached the trapdoor, Xuan Hao didn't bother hiding himself in the slightest, as he directly broke through the trapdoor leading up to the surface before rushing back towards the capital of the Iron Sky Kingdom.
"W-what is happening!?"
"Intruder!"
"Get ready to fight!"
By the time that the Nascent Soul Realm Expert and the guards reacted to the sound of the trapdoor being destroyed along with a new hole that had formed at the top from Xuan Hao directly rushing to the sky before flying in the direction of the capital of the Iron Sky Kingdom, the person responsible was already long gone.
"Everyone, return to the base! Something happened and we will have to move forward faster than expected!"
A short moment later, a solemn voice filled with a dense killing intent echoed out from the tunnel entrance. Instantly causing both confused and curious people standing around the small building wondering just what had happened to freeze up.
"We will follow the command of the Lord!" As everyone else froze up, the Nascent Soul Realm Expert barely managed to respond under the terrifying pressure that had suddenly appeared around all of them.
Whoosh~
After the Nascent Soul Realm Expert spoke up, the pressure around the guards of the building and the thieves disappeared as all of them suddenly felt like they had escaped from the grasp of death.
"Looks like you guys got lucky today… We will be returning to the base after cleaning up the surrounding area!" Narrowing his eyes as he said this to the group of thieves, the Nascent Soul Realm Expert no longer paid any attention to them before he began cleaning up the inside of the building along with fixing the trapdoor and hole in the wall.
As this was happening, the group of thieves had yet to make a single sound. Scared that if they said anything out of line, they would be killed.
Scolding from the Nascent Soul Realm Expert was one thing, the aura of death they had felt earlier was something completely different! Even the Nascent Soul Realm Expert that had seemed so fierce earlier, was nothing more than a helpless chicken without any way to resist in front of the terrifying aura that followed the scary voice.
All the thieves knew very well that something major had happened and the thief leader knew that his vacation would most likely not come any time soon…
