The Deep Abyss Race Lord's Hall collapsed with a crash, and a stream of pure spiritual energy flowed into Lin Yi's dantian.
Feeling as if the cells in his body were cheering, he clenched his fists, unable to hide his excitement: “I actually broke through to 210!”
“Just like Xiang Yi, he ignored the rules of the Trial Land.”
He submerged his spiritual consciousness into his dantian.
He was surprised to find that the originally dense spiritual energy had become even stickier, its color deeper, faintly glowing with golden light!
“This is…”
Lin Yi's mind stirred slightly, “A sign of Core Formation?”
That night, when he drank with Zhuge Hei, he seemed to have heard him mention that whether one's spiritual consciousness could be released externally was one of the criteria for judging if one had stepped into the Golden Core threshold.
Thinking this, he tentatively mobilized his spiritual power, closed his eyes, and let his mental energy spread outwards like ripples.
Soon!
A unique visual scene was directly imprinted deep in his mind!
Within a thousand meters, the spearmen in every corner were busy tying up captives, and the Dark Night Ranger was hidden in the night, blending with the environment.
And also…
General Xiang, whose beautiful face showed impatience after discovering his strength had increased, stood behind him.
Lin Yi turned around and asked expressionlessly, “What are you doing?”
Xiang Yi's eyes curved into crescent moons, and she smiled as she leaned in, snuggling against him, her voice soft and sweet, “Alright! I'll listen to my Lord, let's go…”
“Hey, hey! Wait a minute!”
Seeing her pulling him towards the camp behind, Lin Yi's old face darkened, “Damn, you're the real Lich King, aren't you? You can even drive on this broken road…”
“Giggle giggle~”
Xiang Yi lightly covered her red lips, smiling with tears in her eyes, “My Lord, don't rush. I still have another battle to handle; I can't serve you tonight.”
After their playful banter, she quickly sobered up, pointing at the bound, dazed foreign captives around them: “How should these fellows be dealt with?”
“Them…”
Lin Yi pondered for a moment with his arms crossed, “Kill them.”
“Oh?” Xiang Yi's willow-like brows raised slightly, “Wouldn't that be too wasteful? Shouldn't they be able to fetch some money?”
“The market environment isn't good.”
Lin Yi explained helplessly, “In the exchange, the most popular ones are those foreign races who possess combat power and have already been converted into troops. These captives are just ordinary residents, or even originally slaves… They won't sell for much money.”
Of course.
The most crucial factor was the temporary buff that increased his unit experience gain tenfold.
Slaughtering the entire foreign territory would be enough to elevate the strength of his legion's warriors to another level.
However…
Lin Yi thought of something and suddenly changed the subject, “Killing them directly is indeed a bit wasteful. How about this…”
He pointed to the remaining buildings in Cyril's territory and instructed, “Have them dismantle all the materials here and package everything to be sent back to the territory.”
“Don't give them food along the way. If they feel like they're about to die, have the warriors kill them.”
“Then have the other living foreign races carry the corpses back, strip off any materials that can be used to make equipment, and then have Klara convert them into skeletons.”
“Oh, right… Also, try if the meat of the dead foreign races can be eaten. If so, leave it for the Niu Mas as an extra meal.”
“If not…” Lin Yi stroked his chin, “Then bury the flesh and blood in fertile fields to enrich the soil.”
Through this set of procedures, the foreign captives could provide experience points twice, and while alive, they could serve as labor, essentially maximizing their value.
He absolutely could not leave an impression of extravagance and waste in the hearts of his subordinates!!
Xiang Yi was silent for a moment after hearing this…
She had only thought of selling the foreign races in the market. As for the audacious plan Lin Yi mentioned, it was something she could never have conceived.
“My Lord is merciful~ I will arrange it immediately.”
Watching General Xiang leave, Lin Yi's face once again beamed with joy.
Thinking of himself soon becoming a Golden Core cultivator from a fantasy novel, he grew even more excited!
“After I go back, I must consult Old Hei thoroughly on how to form a Golden Core!”
However—
When he activated his spiritual consciousness again, he suddenly sensed a hostile aura in the sky!
Lin Yi suddenly looked up, activating his spiritual consciousness and Eye of Judgment to their maximum efficiency, and immediately discovered the anomaly!
He saw!
A massive red single eye slowly rotated a thousand meters high in the sky, scrutinizing the dynamics of the battlefield below.
“Damn it!”
Looking at the faintly visible eye that kept scanning the scene below, Lin Yi directly gave it a middle finger.
“What are you looking at, you bastard?!”
After attacking the Deep Abyss Lord's territory, the Dark Night Ranger had just swiftly cleared the defending army when Lin Yi received a modification announcement from the Lord's Will.
If this eye had nothing to do with it, Lin Yi would never believe it.
“Just right… I'll use you to test the waters!”
Lin Yi's eyes were filled with killing intent as he reached out and grasped a fourth-tier longsword that popped out of his ring.
Spiritual energy spread along his meridians to the sword body, forming a sharp sword aura.
Clang—
The sword blade left his hand, suddenly streaking across the sky, leaving behind streaks of elusive green afterimages.
Terrifying spiritual energy continuously gathered on the sword body!
Until Lin Yi brought his sword fingers together and fiercely thrust upwards.
The longsword, imbued with powerful strength, was like a wild falcon, transforming into a green light that shot straight into the sky!
Lin Yi patted his sleeve, seemingly feeling that something was missing, so he then said blandly with a straight face, “Qingyuan Sword Art, Second Form — Verdant Void Streamer!”
The massive eyeball in the sky also seemed not to have expected that the former could see it.
Looking at the green sword shadow attacking it, it immediately showed a human-like fear.
It twisted its “body” wanting to escape!
But—
The flying sword clearly wouldn't give it such a chance!
Pfft!
The sword blade seemed to have plunged into tofu.
It easily pierced the surface of the eyeball, and at the same time, dozens of streaming lights erupted from the sword body!
Instantly!
The massive eyeball burst like a balloon!
A large amount of light green liquid poured down from the sky as if it were worthless, forming a continuous drizzle.
“Ah—”
A heart-wrenching scream came from the void!
Everyone looked up in unison at the empty sky.
“Pain?”
Lin Yi sneered, “It's supposed to hurt!”
The effect brought by the Eye of Judgment alone was not enough to directly see through the eyeball's disguise.
Fortunately, his strength had increased; otherwise, that peeping thing would have really escaped.
The longsword returned to its sheath and was put back into his storage ring.
Lin Yi was about to choose the buildings to occupy after his victory.
A series of special prompts suddenly appeared.
【Your slave has been captured. After rescuing the slave, you will gain a strong claim to the offending lord's territory — Humiliation.】
【Your slave has been killed. You gain a strong claim to the offending lord's territory — Humiliation.】
【…】
“Has Meng Xi started to act?”
Lin Yi's lips curved slightly.
Targeting me, are you?!
When the rear starts to burn first, what will you all do then?
