In just a few days, bad news from various places flew like snowflakes to Dragon Rock Territory, as well as to several other core forces that could still maintain order in the mainland.
Dozens of small and medium-sized towns and villages close to the borders of the original Luo'ao Empire and Rhine Empire were wiped out by Slaughter overnight. The death conditions were similar to what Beaumont had done before, but more cleanly. It was obviously the work of a strong God-level who was good at death or dark rules, just to collect souls efficiently.
An earth-shattering God-level battle broke out in the depths of the Magic Beast Mountain Range. It is said that the escaped God-level monsters clashed with the forces under Dylan in order to compete for territory. The impact was very wide, landslides and ground cracks occurred, and countless ordinary monsters suffered.
O'Brien Empire On the border, a military fortress with tens of thousands of elite troops stationed was attacked by a single man from the alien race God-level, whose body was burning with cyan flames and looked like a demon. The defenders suffered heavy casualties and the fortress was reduced to ruins. The alien warrior walked away, seemingly searching for some specific mineral.
On Far East Grassland, multiple nomadic tribes were kidnapped by mysterious strong men and all their young men were missing. Traces of strange sacrificial circles remained on the scene.
Yulan Empire In the prosperous port city in the south, all valuable goods, magic materials, and even part of the chamber of commerce's treasury were looted overnight. Guardian disappeared silently, leaving only a faint, sickening sweet smell on the scene.
Dragon Rock Territory border, a hilly area close to the original Rhine Empire.
In the past, although this place was not considered prosperous, there were scattered villages with woodcutters and hunters coming and going. But at this moment, the air was filled with the strong smell of blood and burnt smell. Several villages had been reduced to ruins, and the mutilated corpses of villagers were scattered among the ruins. Their deaths were miserable, and they obviously did not die at the hands of ordinary monsters or bandits.
In mid-air, four figures stood in the air. They were Lin Qin, Linley, Olivier and Desri. They responded to an old friend of Desri who lived in seclusion in this area and asked for help. They came together to eliminate a group of strong aliens from the alien plane Saint Realm who suddenly appeared and wreaked havoc on Slaughter here. According to the intelligence, there were about seven or eight people in this group. They acted cruelly and arrogantly. They seemed to take pleasure in killing and destroying without concealing their whereabouts.
Lin Qin glanced at the tragic scene below, his eyes cold. These prisoners who had just escaped from the prison unbridledly poured out the violence that had accumulated for countless years on innocent mortals.
"Thirty miles southeast, there are energy fluctuations, five Saint Realm and one Lowgod." Lin Qin's consciousness far surpassed that of others, and he was the first to lock the target.
"Let's go!" Olivier had the coldest eyes. He hated this kind of bullying of the weak. He turned into a stream of black and white light and rushed away first.
Linley and Desri followed closely behind. Lin Qin followed up unhurriedly. His mission was to hold down the battle and prevent any fish from slipping through the net or unexpectedly strong enemies appearing.
Thirty miles away, in a valley, five Saint Realms of different shapes, wearing tattered leather armor or rusty armor, were surrounding a small group of shivering villagers who were forced to flee in all directions with their playful energy. Next to them, a giant piece of On the stone, sitting a strong man with one eye and a ferocious scar on his face, he was watching his "game" with relish. He exuded Death Divine Power fluctuations at the Lowgod level, but he was indeed frivolous and unstable.
"Haha! Run! Run faster!" A Saint Realm with a lizard tail cracked a rock with a whip, and the splashed stones beat a villager to the head and bloodied, causing a maniacal laugh.
"Boss, this Yulan Continent's mortal soul seems to taste purer than the souls of the prisoners in the prison?" Another Saint Realm, whose whole body was shrouded in shadow, said hoarsely.
One-Eyed Brute licked his lips. "That's natural. This is Material Plane, and all living things are prosperous—huh?!" His face suddenly changed, and he suddenly looked up at the sky.
I saw four figures falling down like meteors! The first one was a black and white sword light, with the sharpness of tearing everything and the cold killing intent, and it went straight for his head!
"Enemy attack!" One-Eyed Brute yelled, hastily waving a Death Divine Power condensed gray-black shield in front of him.
"Clang--Boom!"
The black and white sword light collided with the death shield, and the shield shattered in response! The sword light remained unabated, and in One-Eyed Brute's horrified eyes, it passed over his neck!
A head rose into the sky, and pale golden divine blood sprayed out! In the one eye, there was still unbelievable fear. The Lowgod prisoner who had just escaped and had not had time to enjoy his freedom was instantly killed by Olivier with a sword!
At the same time, Linley's figure was like the wind, instantly appearing among the five Saint Realm prisoners. The blue divine sword in his hand drew wind blades all over the sky, shrouding the two Saint Realm. Desri cast a large-scale light binding magic to slow down the actions of the other three, and waved his staff, shooting purifying light at the enemy.
Although these Saint Realm prisoners are fierce, they face the limit of two Lowgod (Linley himself cooperates with Divine Clone) and one Saint Realm The sudden attack, coupled with the panic caused by the boss being killed instantly, immediately caused chaos. Within a few breaths, they were all killed by Linley's sharp sword light and Desri's coordinated attacks, and they were unable to even organize an effective resistance.
The battle ended neatly. Lin Qin didn't even make a move.
Olivier shook off the blood beads that did not exist on the sword and glanced coldly at the corpse on the ground. The coldness in his eyes did not subside. Linley put away the sword and looked at the villagers who were surviving the disaster, kneeling and crying or being stunned, and felt heavy in their hearts. This is just the tip of the iceberg. Yulan Continent I don't know how many places, similar tragedies are being staged.
Just as the four of them were about to leave and go to the next place where prisoners from another dimension might cause trouble, a slightly embarrassed figure appeared in the distant sky.
The stream of light with unstable breath was flying rapidly towards their direction.
"That's----Fain?" Linley had sharp eyes and recognized the person, it was War God Mountain's first disciple Fain! But at this moment, Fain's breath was sluggish, his clothes were torn and stained with blood, his face was full of grief, anger and panic, and he no longer had the calm demeanor of War God Mountain's first disciple.
"Fain! Why are you here? What happened?" Linley rushed forward and a soft Wind Divine Power supported Fain who was about to fall.
Fain saw Linley, and then saw Lin Qin, Olivier and Desri next to him. Especially when he saw Lin Qin, a complex and unexplainable emotion flashed in his eyes, and he was immediately overwhelmed by huge grief. He stabilized his body, his voice was hoarse and trembling, with Endless hatred and despair. "Master Linley! Master Lin Qin! Everyone----War God Mountain----is gone! Teacher he----teacher he was killed! Up and down War God Mountain, except for a few disciples who are performing tasks outside, including Blumer----it's all over!"
"What?!" Linley, Desri, and even the stern Olivier all looked shocked. War God O'Brien, Yulan Continent The veteran Lowgod, War God Mountain who ruled O'Brien Empire for thousands of years, was just like that - destroyed? Blumer? Olivier's younger brother?
Olivier's body shook suddenly, and he stepped in front of Fain, his cold eyes piercing him like a sharp sword. "Speak clearly! What happened to Blumer?! What happened to War God Mountain?!"
Fain was rushed by the terrifying aura of Olivier. His already weak body shook, and he said miserably, "It's Adkins! A man who calls himself Adkins "Highgod of! He brought thousands of strong men who were at least Saint Realm level and suddenly descended on the O'Brien Empire and directly surrounded War God Mountain!"
"Highgod? More than a thousand Saint Realm?" Linley took a breath of cold air. This lineup is too terrifying!
"The teacher came forward to negotiate, but Adkins's attitude was extremely arrogant and he didn't bother to talk at all. He only said that he was interested in this place War God Mountain and told us to get out immediately." Tears rolled down Fain's eyes, "The teacher naturally refused, Then Adkins randomly assigned one of his subordinates God-level to take action - just one move! Just one move! Teacher - he couldn't even resist, the divine body was exploded, and Godhead was also taken away!
Not even the soul can escape!"
Kill War God in one move O'Brien? Linley and others felt chills in their hearts. Although War God is only Lowgod, it is definitely not weak among Lowgod A person who is especially good at attacking can't even catch a single move? The God-level who took action was at least a mid-level god, and might even be a subordinate of Highgod. His strength far exceeded that of the ordinary Lowgod!
"Then what? War God Mountain Where are the others? Where is Blumer?!" Olivier's voice was as cold as Arctic Ice Plains's cold wind.
"After God-level killed the teacher, Adkins ordered the massacre of the mountain!" Fain closed his eyes in pain, "Thousands of the Saint Realm. God-level The strong men took action together----War God Mountain's mountain-protecting formation broke into pieces without even being able to hold on for a moment----massacre----a one-sided massacre! Blumer Him----He was practicing War God Mountain at the time. I saw him from a distance trying to resist and being extremely besieged by three Saint Realm----also died----I was patrolling outside on the orders of my teacher, so I rushed back after receiving the summons. I only saw the sky full of attacks falling and the main peak of War God Mountain collapsing----I escaped desperately and was chased by their people along the way----until I met you----"
Fain's words were like a heavy hammer, hitting everyone's heart hard.
War God Mountain, the top power of the Yulan Continent that has been inherited for thousands of years, just disappeared into thin air, and the whole family was wiped out! O'Brien, a generation of heroes, fell so easily! Blumer, Olivier's only younger brother, also died tragically among them!
Olivier stood on the spot, and the aura around him fluctuated violently. The two divine powers of light and darkness spilled out uncontrollably, forming a dangerous whirlpool of light and darkness. The ground beneath his feet cracked and annihilated silently. He lowered his head and couldn't see his expression clearly, but the murderous intent and sorrow emanating from his body, which seemed to freeze his soul, made Linley and Desri next to him feel frightened.
"A, De, Jin, Si----" Olivier spat out the name word by word, each word was like ice squeezed out from between the teeth, "and----his dog----"
Linley took a deep breath, suppressed the shock and chill in his heart, and looked at Lin Qin. Only to find that Lin Qin's face was still calm, but his eyes were deeper, as if he was quickly analyzing this explosive information.
"More than a thousand Saint Realm, at least one middle god, and one Highgod leader----" Desri's voice was dry, "This power----our Yulan Continent and all God-level combined, I'm afraid--"
He didn't finish what he said, but his meaning was clear. Facing such a terrifying force, their little power was simply not enough. The destruction of War God Mountain is a lesson learned from the past.
"It's not enough to see, but you have to see." Olivier suddenly raised his head, and his eyes turned pure white on one side and pitch black on the other, strange and terrifying, and his voice was hoarse but decisive, "Adkins----there are also those who killed Blumer--I will kill them!"
Linley looked at Olivier, and could feel the overwhelming hatred and determination in his heart. But his reason told him that this was almost a suicide.
"Olivier, calm down." Linley said in a deep voice, "Revenge must be avenged, but not blindly. We need to think about it in the long term. Adkins is huge, we need to unite Yulan Continent all the remaining God-level strong people, and even--maybe need to seek Lord Beirut's attitude."
He looked at Lin Qin again. "Brother Lin Qin, what do you think?"
Lin Qin was silent for a moment and said slowly, "Adkins's move is a declaration and a show of authority. He chose to attack War God Mountain, not only because War God Mountain is one of the powerful forces on the surface of the Yulan Continent, but also because it is relatively independent and has no deep relationship with Lord Beirut. This is testing and delineating the sphere of influence."
"His goals will never stop at War God Mountain. The resources of the Yulan Continent, especially Graveyard of the Gods, are what really attract these powerful people. Next, I am afraid that Yulan Empire, Chaos Territory, and even the surrounding areas of Dark Forest will become his targets, or areas that will conflict with other powerful fugitive forces."
"Union is inevitable. But with our current strength, confronting the Adkins Group head-on is tantamount to attacking the stone with an egg." Lin Qin glanced at everyone, "We need intelligence, we need to understand the internal structure and weaknesses of the Adkins Group, we need to know the movements of other fugitive forces, and we need to find out Master Beirut's exact attitude and bottom line towards this incident. At the same time, we ourselves must improve our strength as soon as possible.

His analysis was calm and clear, bringing everyone back to the cruel reality from the initial shock and grief.
"The news of War God Mountain's destruction will soon spread across the mainland. This will cause greater panic and may also prompt other God-level strong people to make a choice: to unite, to seek refuge, or to escape." Lin Qin continued, "Linley, you first bring Fain back to Dragonblood Castle, place it properly, and immediately strengthen the defense of the Baruch Empire, paying special attention to the infiltration of unknown powerful people. At the same time, try to contact High Priestess, Dylan, Cesar, Muba and others to inform them of the situation and see if they can reach a preliminary consensus or intelligence sharing."
Linley nodded heavily. "I understand."
"Olivier," Lin Qin looked at those strange eyes, "I understand your hatred. But revenge requires strength, and even more opportunity. Blind impulse will only make Blumer die in vain. Go back with Linley first, calm down, improve your strength, and collect intelligence. When the time is right, I will go with you."
Olivier stared at Lin Qin, his chest heaving violently, and the light and dark aura around him flickered. After a long time, he squeezed out one word from between his teeth. "----Okay." After all, he was not a reckless man, and he knew that what Lin Qin said was the truth.
"Desri, please contact your good friend Saint Realm and pay close attention to abnormal developments in various parts of the mainland, especially where other large-scale fugitive forces gather." Lin Qin arranged.
"Don't worry." Desri responded.
"I will sit in Dragon Rock Territory and try to find out more information about Adkins Group." Lin Qin finally said, "Everyone, Yulan Continent's life and death has come. Please take care of yourself and keep in touch."
After a simple division of labor, everyone left with heavy hearts. Linley returned to Dragonblood Castle with the grief-stricken Fain, and Olivier followed closely like a silent god of death. Desri also left in a hurry to contact his network.
Lin Qin stood alone above the deserted valley, looking in the direction of War God Mountain with deep eyes.
