"It should take about six months to fully absorb the contents of this warrant," Zhu Li said again. "As for the other God-Kings, you should remain inactive for now. The warrants are interconnected; they know they can't escape, so they will definitely try to fight to the death. These Decay old fogies won't last long."
"Understood." Ping Yun nodded.
"As for Ashes, Hai Ming played a crucial role this time. If Ashes's Gray Roc hadn't ambushed and damaged Zhao Ji's physical body, I wouldn't have achieved victory so quickly. Therefore, according to the agreement, we should indeed cooperate with them in pursuing Hui, however..."
He paused for a moment, then continued.
"Hui's side is also hiding a lot of power. This is still an internal conflict within their Calamity, and it's not advisable for us to get too involved... at least, it's not suitable now," Zhu Li said with a hint of deeper meaning.
Ping Yun understood immediately and a smile appeared on her face.
"Understood."
"That's good..." Zhu Li smiled as well.
In just six months, he will be able to acquire warrants and reach even greater heights. By then, everything will be settled.
In the Black Domain void.
The Seven Kings Alliance was scattered and turned into guerrilla forces that spread everywhere, turning to underground resistance.
The Black Domain Void is a vast area, and even Zhu Li could not easily sweep through and hunt it down.
This area thus became the best hiding place for fierce fighting.
The human realm, initially designated as a battlefield, was abandoned due to its low energy level and lack of more secure hiding places, thus escaping disaster. Sigh
At this moment, a large God Clan warship, several thousand meters long and rectangular in shape, instantly leaped into existence, releasing massive and powerful invisible waves that scanned the surrounding tens of thousands of kilometers.
These warships are very fast, maintaining a stable speed of several thousand kilometers per second. In addition, their invisible waves cover an area of tens of thousands of kilometers around them, making them minesweepers used by the Zhu Li God Clan to clear the battlefield.
The numbers may not seem large at first glance, but over time, as the numbers increase, they can easily eliminate most hidden enemies.
At this moment, inside the warship, Yan Qiushi was leading a patrol team on a routine internal patrol.
As a relatively weak God Clan garrison officer, she couldn't play a significant role in close combat, so she could only remotely control unmanned combat aircraft from the rear. Since the God Clan were few in number, they naturally couldn't engage in hand-to-hand combat, and the vast majority of soldiers with strength below the fourth ring were assigned to patrol and remote control missions in the rear.
Only elites at the fourth ring level and above can wear amplified psionic armor and forcibly upgrade to level five to participate in actual combat.
At this moment, inside the silver passage, Yan Qiushi led about ten people on a patrol and returned to the junction.
"Sister Qiushi, why are you patrolling so late? If you had just agreed to Officer Xu's request and obediently changed into your clothes to go see him tonight, you wouldn't be in this predicament."
At the fork in the road, another patrol team happened to come face to face. The team leader, Xu Ziyuan, was dressed in revealing clothing; her fitted military uniform was so tight that the outline of her vital parts was faintly visible.
Xu Ziyuan is charming and petite, which is quite good compared to others, but she lacks the perseverance of Yan Qiushi.
Perhaps he's had too many girlfriends and wants to try something different.
The officer in charge of them, Xu, was Xu Ziyuan's own brother. He relied entirely on his sister to make connections for him.
This time, they've set their sights on Yan Qiushi.
Yan Qiushi refused outright the first time.
She only wanted to be a secret spy for Clear Jade Mountain, slacking off every day to send back some unimportant internal information, so that she could enjoy the powerful amplification of Clear Jade Mountain's Dharma Seal and feel her Divine Power cultivation rapidly increasing within her body.
This kind of life is simply heavenly.
Seeing Xu Ziyuan, whose breasts and buttocks seemed to be practically sticking out, barking wildly in front of him, Yan Qiushi's initially good mood instantly soured.
If it weren't for her brother's deliberate arrangement, would she be in this situation, doing patrol duties for most of the ship's crew all by herself?
"Sister Qiushi, ignore her. Let's go!" Gao Mei, the vice-captain of the group behind us, whispered.
"Hmm." Yan Qiushi has now successfully broken through to the second ring under the influence of the Dharma Seal, and his cultivation level has increased. In addition, he is often under high pressure and is worried about his undercover identity being discovered, so his IQ has increased somewhat.
So she decided to turn around and leave.
Just then, she suddenly felt a burning sensation from the mark on the back of her hand.
Suddenly, she turned her head to look at the window on the side of the corridor.
Through the square window, one could clearly see in the Black Domain void that, in front of a patrol ship not far away, a blue crack suddenly appeared. From within the crack, a woman with long, dark blue hair, a blue dress, and fair skin, her eyes burning with faint blue flames, floated out.
The woman had a cold and beautiful appearance, and held a silver-black cleaver that was tens of meters long in one hand.
The long, cleaver contrasted sharply with her small frame.
"The materials required by the Lord need to be collected... at the third and fourth ring levels."
laugh!
The next instant, the silver-black cleaver suddenly swung forward, leaving a thin, long silver blade mark.
The blade mark flashed and instantly traversed the distance, appearing on the surface of the warship ahead.
The God Clan's transparent shield shattered in the blink of an eye, followed by the warship's armor.
The alloy armor, enhanced with the God Clan technology, was like tofu before the blade marks, easily sliced apart.
With a whoosh, the entire warship was vertically split in two.
Dense bursts of flame slowly emerged from the left and right sides.
A large number of members of the God Clan fled from within, but were immediately grabbed by the woman with the slashing blade.
The massive, Extreme Cold air spread and enveloped everything, freezing the warship fragments and the fleeing people into ice blocks.
Immediately afterwards, all the ice lumps flew into the crack and disappeared.
The woman with the slashing sword also turned her head and looked at the warship on Yan Qiushi's side.
Swish!
The next instant, Yan Qiushi and the others felt a sense of foreboding. Before they could react, they felt the entire warship tremble violently and begin to emit continuous explosive vibrations.
"Run!! That's at least a top-tier monster of the fifth ring!!" Yan Qiushi had a lot of experience with Lin Hui, so he recognized the level of the woman with the cleaver at a glance. Without saying a word, he led his team members and turned to run, heading towards the escape pod.
At this moment, she dared not gamble that the God Clan beings inside the warship could stop the woman.
"You!?" Xu Ziyuan and the others behind her stared in disbelief as she quickly disappeared from sight.
Before they could react, a dazzling silver blade suddenly flashed past them from top to bottom.
Swish!!
The warship was neatly cut in two. Xu Ziyuan and the others, their bodies shimmering with divine Divine Power and their faces filled with terror, tried to escape, but it was too late. The blade cut out a trail of Cold Disaster, which quickly spread out, completely ignoring their first and second-level Divine Power concentrations and freezing them into ice blocks. On the other side, Yan Qiushi and the others didn't get far before being caught up by the Cold Disaster.
Just as it was about to freeze them completely, the calamity suddenly paused slightly, slowed down, and then rapidly contracted, disappearing in the blink of an eye. "You actually have Mr. Hui's mark on you... You'd better disguise yourself better, or don't blame me if you're exposed." At this moment, a clear, cold female voice echoed in Yan Qiushi's mind.
Yan Qiushi's body trembled, almost frozen by the slight calamity inherent in the voice.
Mr. Hui!?
She suddenly thought of Clear Jade Mountain.
"The same to you!?
Unfortunately, the woman ignored her and with a wave of her hand, grabbed most of the God Clan from the warship, turned them into ice blocks, and flew into the crevice. Only then did she turn and disappear.
Only half of the warship, a survivor of the disaster, and Yan Qiushi and others who were involved and were not captured, remained at the scene.
Several people clung desperately to the half-destroyed warship in the Black Domain void, awaiting rescue.
"They're the women involved in that high-profile robbery case!! The Bloodthorn Bird have been chasing them many times, but they still haven't been able to catch them!" Vice Captain Gao Mei said, her face pale.
Yan Qiushi remained silent, still pondering what the woman who had just transmitted her voice had said.
Clear Jade Mountain...
This was the first time she had personally experienced just how powerful Clear Jade Mountain, as Mr. Hui had described it, truly was.
"Recently, it's been said that the Star-Stealing Bandit Gang in Swallow Fort has been re-established and has looted many of Swallow Fort's large treasure troves... There's also the internal civil war breaking out in Dragon Court... not to mention the strange human abduction cases we're dealing with here." A well-informed team member said with a grim expression.
"Nowhere is safe," Yan Qiushi murmured.
She turned around and looked at the terrified faces of her teammates behind her, who had survived the ordeal. Suddenly, she felt a sense of relief, glad that she had actually joined Clear Jade Mountain.
Puff puff puff puff!
Inside a still, floating black island in the void of the Black Domain.
Lin Hui looked at the densely packed ice blocks of the God Clan falling from mid-air and nodded in satisfaction.
"Thank you for your hard work this time, Li." He looked at Li, the Cold Night Matriarch, who had followed him down, and smiled in gratitude.
"It's no trouble at all to do things for you." Li's face softened, completely losing the coldness she displayed on the outside.
"A total of seventy-six members of the God Clan were captured this time. As per your instructions, more than ten members were captured at different ring levels. The highest level was fourth ring."
"Okay. You should go and rest first. Focus on your cultivation." Lin Hui nodded with a smile.
After Li responded, she vanished instantly.
He then looked at the dark hall, where the floor was covered with blocks of ice from the God Clan.
The core of the Unfinished Final Scene Sword Technique lies in the Life Lines. Once all nine Life Lines are fulfilled, one can summon the Zhongjing at any time to instantly kill the opponent.
Given the high likelihood of a future conflict with Yun, Lin Hui began collecting various physical and mental data on the God Clan. To date, he has studied and dissected at least three-digit numbers of the God Clan in a short period of time.
Because the God Clan have extremely terrifying vitality, as long as they are not completely reduced to ashes, they can quickly recover from their injuries. Therefore, a simple dissection is no problem for them.
After dissecting them, Lin Hui even released them safely back into the Black Domain Void. So in reality, he killed very, very few God Clan. "After we're done, I'll have to trouble you to release them." Lin Hui glanced at the ice mound and naturally transmitted his voice to Lin behind him.
"Why don't you just kill them? Releasing them would involve taking another risk, which is quite troublesome," Lin couldn't help but ask softly.
"I don't like indiscriminate killing. As long as the goal is achieved, that's enough. These people are essentially just serving their own masters, so there's no need to go too far," Lin Hui said casually.
At that moment, blue flames blazed in his eyes as he looked at the lumps of ice on the ground.
In his eyes, red blood lines appeared on all of these ice blocks.
These blood lines range from a minimum of three to as many as five.
This is the result of Lin Hui's research over the past few days. It can be said that he has a thorough understanding of the physiological structure of the God Clan, regardless of gender or age.
Furthermore, due to the massive absorption of the power of the Time String by the three parties, the Unfinished Final Scene Sword Technique has successfully broken through to the fourth level in the past few days.
His speed in analyzing fate lines increased dramatically.
The advancement of sword techniques not only increases the Fate Reversal effects, but also accelerates the acquisition of the final destiny line.
"A mere ordinary God Clan... I can already see all nine life lines."
Lin Hui was eager to try it out. He wanted to see what the effect would be if he called upon Zhong Jing along the lifeline.
The outcome of this test will determine what auxiliary items he will use to evolve the Blood Seal to help him see the Fate Line more quickly.
