488: Lingyouzhijuexiang, I heard you want to kill me? (Two in one)

"You, too, are a member of the royal family, aren't you?"

As Lin Yang's words rang out, Lan Ling instantly tensed up, subconsciously about to deny it: "I... no..."

"No! You are!"

Lin Yang didn't give Lan Ling a chance to deny it, staring at Lan Ling, he said faintly: "Nightshade spoke to you with a completely equal demeanor, and you two are extremely familiar, so you must also be a direct descendant of the Lingyou Clan's royal family."

As a direct descendant of the royal family, Nightshade would naturally have a sense of superiority towards other ordinary members.

But towards this Lan Ling, he seemed like an old friend he had known for a long time.

To be treated this way by a direct royal descendant, one must also be of equal status!

While not absolutely certain, the margin of error wouldn't be too large.

"Lin Yang, must you kill me?"

Lan Ling took a deep breath and no longer argued, instead staring at Lin Yang, she said with a solemn voice:

"I admit that we initially planned to wait for you to come out and seize the treasures you obtained in the Bi Yuan Stone Cave space, but we didn't get you, and you even killed so many of our people. Surely that should appease your anger, right?"

"Heh heh, what you're saying is a bit funny."

Lin Yang was amused:

"You wanted to kill me for my treasures, but because my strength was far superior to yours, you failed. So, isn't it natural for me to kill you? Why do you make it sound like you're the one being wronged?"

"If I weren't strong enough, I'd probably be ashes by now, wouldn't I?"

Lan Ling's words faltered.

Lin Yang then said leisurely: "And, have you forgotten? You and I don't just have a grudge over killing and seizing treasures; we also have a racial vendetta. You're asking me to let you go now, don't you think it's ridiculous?"

"I..." Lan Ling opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but didn't know what to say.

Finally, she sighed helplessly:

"We were just following the Mingye Clan's actions. If you don't kill me, you can exchange me and my clan for a huge sum of money. Anyway, you're so strong, it'll be easy to kill me later. Why must you kill me today?"

"'Just following the Mingye Clan's actions!' A light, dismissive remark, yet it turns many members of my Human Race into sub-human livestock, then shifts all responsibility to the Mingye Clan. Your clan did the deed, your clan reaped the benefits, and then you shirk responsibility? Do you want to take all the good things for yourselves?"

Lin Yang was instantly exasperated:

"As for exchanging you for a huge sum? I think your head is more useful than any so-called huge sum."

While taking this guy's Life could indeed be exchanged for a generous amount of resources,

A direct descendant of the Lingyou Clan's royal family is not that easy to encounter!

Kill him later?

If he were let go this time, this guy would probably not venture out easily again.

The Human Race has been at war with the Mingye Clan and the Lingyou Clan for over ten years, and not a single important royal family member has been killed!

It's clear how difficult it is to find an opportunity to eliminate an important direct descendant of the royal family.

Today, he was simply lucky.

He encountered two direct descendants of the royal family at once.

How could he let them go?

Letting a royal family member who was about to advance to the Spirit Realm return would be tantamount to letting a tiger return to its mountain.

Allowing the Lingyou Clan to gain another Spirit Realm powerhouse from their royal family would only increase the pressure on the Human Race.

These are not things that a so-called huge sum can compensate for.

Lin Yang was very clear about what was more important.

Letting them go was impossible!

"Lin Yang, you will regret killing me!" Lan Ling's expression became ferocious.

"Regret?"

Lin Yang sneered:

"I'd only regret letting you go!"

"Lin Yang, you will surely die a terrible death! You humans will also be annihilated! You cannot stop the great power of Lord Commander!"

Seeing that Lin Yang's killing intent was resolute, Lan Ling immediately cursed.

"Be on your way."

Lin Yang's eyes flashed, and a wisp of spiritual power pierced into Lan Ling's glabella, directly ending her Life.

At the same time, the second wave of large contingents from the Lingyou Clan and the Mingye Clan also arrived.

There were over a hundred of them.

"His Highness Nightshade!"

"Her Highness Lan Ling!"

People from both clans saw the bodies of Nightshade and Lan Ling on the ground and cried out in alarm, then charged at Lin Yang.

Two royal highnesses died at Lin Yang's hands.

Even if they were afraid, they had no choice but to advance now.

Otherwise, they would still be punished upon returning.

"Go."

Lin Yang waved both hands, and over a hundred spatial spiritual powers entwined around every person from the two clans present.

Again, in a single breath.

Over a hundred more bodies lay on the ground.

Lin Yang quickly plundered the supplies from everyone, then cremated all the bodies except for Nightshade and Lan Ling.

The main reason he left the bodies of these two and gave them a dignified death was that complete bodies are better for research.

Yes, that's right.

He planned to take the bodies of these two guys out and bring them to the Alien Management Bureau for relevant departments to study.

The bodies of direct royal descendants have very high research value.

Normally, such royal bodies are unobtainable!

The Mingye Clan and Lingyou Clan captured a large number of Human Race members to conduct research on humans.

The Human Race naturally also conducted research targeting their two clans.

Afterward, Lin Yang left the area and quickly traveled along the Bi Yuan Wall.

The Mingye Clan and Lingyou Clan had sent a total of one hundred and forty-five people, which was almost all of them within Source Star.

Waiting any longer would be meaningless.

He was now preparing to go to the location where the Old Monster Faction's guy entered the Bi Yuan Stone Cave, and while he was at it, clear out the Old Monster Faction's people as well.

Suddenly.

"Congratulations, Host, for slaying two important royal family members of the Mingye Clan and Lingyou Clan, upholding the prestige of our Human Race, and greatly demoralizing the enemy. You have received a reward of 200 million national treasure value."

"As the Host's first time slaying an important royal family member of an Foreign race, you have additionally received 300 million national treasure value and ten achievement points."

"As the Host's first time slaying a royal family member of an Foreign race, your renown has spread throughout the Ten Thousand Universes, striking fear into the Foreign races. You have gained five million prestige points."

"As you possess the title 'Admired by Ten Thousand,' you have received an additional 500,000 prestige points this time. Your current cumulative prestige points are: 10,460,250 points."

"Congratulations, Host, your prestige points have exceeded ten million for the first time. You have received five achievement points."

"Congratulations, Host, as your prestige points have reached ten million, your prestige-exclusive title 'Pride of the Nine Provinces' has been upgraded to: 'Overlooking the Universe (Initial)'."

"Congratulations, Host, as you have obtained the title 'Overlooking the Universe' for the first time, you have received ten achievement points and ten exclusive blind box gift packages for the title 'Overlooking the Universe'!"

"Note: As the Host possesses a blind box fusion opportunity, all ordinary blind boxes obtained by the Host will be directly added to the blind box fusion until the Host terminates the blind box fusion. This portion of blind boxes has been added."

"As the Host's prestige title has reached 'Overlooking the Universe' and has also reached the Spirit Realm, the Host's name is now almost universally known throughout the Ten Thousand Universes. You have received three free opportunities for spiritual universal material fusion."

"The Host can freely fuse three spiritual universal materials of the same quality into a spiritual universal material of a higher quality. Please make good use of this fusion opportunity to elevate your strength to a higher level."

"Congratulations, Host, you have triggered a new mission: 'Lingyou's Swan Song'."

"Lingyou's Swan Song: Your strength has greatly improved, and it is time to annihilate this clan. Please kill members of the Lingyou Clan until the clan is completely extinct. You will receive corresponding national treasure value rewards for each Lingyou Clan member you kill."

"..."

The system suddenly announced a series of broadcasts.

Lin Yang listened to them one by one.

He didn't pay too much attention to the conventional rewards like prestige titles.

As for the opportunity to fuse spiritual universal materials, it was nothing more than being able to fuse lower-grade materials into higher-grade ones. The most cost-effective fusion method was to use high-grade spiritual universal materials to fuse into top-grade ones.

What surprised Lin Yang was the large amount of national treasure value rewarded after killing royal family members like Nightshade and Lan Ling.

"Royal family members are indeed valuable. Even without the additional bonus for the first kill, each one is worth roughly 100 million national treasure value."

Lin Yang sighed.

While 100 million isn't much compared to the billions he spends now,

It's important to remember that Nightshade and Lan Ling were only direct descendants who hadn't broken through to the Spirit Realm yet.

Moreover, Lin Yang estimated that they weren't particularly core members of the direct lineage, otherwise they wouldn't have acted so adventurously within Source Star.

Truly core direct descendants would almost never take risks within Source Star, and even if they did, they would be accompanied by a large contingent.

They, however, were not.

Clearly, their status wasn't particularly precious.

For such a status, 100 million per person is already a lot!

After all, while the direct descendants of any royal family are not numerous, they are certainly not rare.

The Mingye Clan and Lingyou Clan combined have six great royal families!

Even if the direct descendants are not many, they wouldn't be scarce.

This price is already very high.

He had spent several months on the front lines before, killing countless ordinary Mingye Clan members, and only earned two or three hundred million in total.

What's more, there are still imperial family members!

If a direct descendant of the royal family below the Spirit Realm is worth 100 million national treasure value, the price of an imperial family member would definitely be even higher!

And above the Spirit Realm, the price would at least double!

Lin Yang felt that the system's pricing was quite generous.

As long as he became stronger and targeted royal family members, he would probably earn national treasure value until his hands went soft!

If he killed a few more imperial family members... "The massive national treasure value needed for the Space-Time Signal Beacon is now within reach!"

Lin Yang was immediately filled with motivation and drive!

Furthermore, this time, he finally triggered the mission to exterminate the Lingyou Clan.

With both extermination missions triggered, the speed at which he earned national treasure value would at least increase several times over!

"Nether Night Dirge, Lingyou's Swan Song. This broken system is quite good at naming things. A dirge begins, finally becoming a swan song, and they even echo each other..."

Lin Yang muttered, in a great mood, and then said to the system:

"System, after I take care of the Old Monster Faction's people, I'll go to the Endless Spacetime Turbulence Zone and get an ordinary Space-Time Signal Beacon first."

Space-Time Signal Beacons can be established multiple times.

And they also have different qualities.

The difference is that ordinary quality Space-Time Signal Beacons have a limited guiding range, while the guiding and receiving range of high-quality Space-Time Signal Beacons increases significantly with the improvement of quality.

This means that if national treasure value is not very abundant and it's impossible to directly establish a particularly good quality Space-Time Signal Beacon, one can first establish a slightly more ordinary Space-Time Signal Beacon.

One can first try to guide or receive some so-called companions who are lost in the Endless Spacetime back.

Adhering to the principle that one more helper means one more strength, Lin Yang decided to use the national treasure value he just obtained to establish a slightly more ordinary Space-Time Signal Beacon.

See if he could guide or receive some people.

If successful, he could then understand the situation of the Endless Spacetime through the people who were received back.

Perhaps they could even directly help him inject energy into that source fire once.

"Okay, Host, an ordinary quality Space-Time Signal Beacon requires 500 million national treasure value. Your current national treasure value is just enough."

The system replied.

"...Sigh, when can I ever save up some national treasure value?"

Lin Yang couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

It's too difficult to save up national treasure value!

Every time he earned some, something would coincidentally come up that needed to be spent!

Can't save it!

He absolutely can't save it!

Before, it was money and salary he couldn't save; now it's national treasure value!

It's too difficult!

Suddenly.

Lin Yang thought of a lyric:

"Fate, why do you torment me so..."

"..."

At the same time.

Somewhere along the Bi Yuan Wall.

Sixty to seventy people from the Old Monster Faction were gathered together.

This was the place where the guy killed by Lin Yang in the Bi Yuan Stone Cave had entered the Bi Yuan Stone Cave.

These sixty to seventy people were almost eighty percent of the Old Monster Faction's members within Source Star.

Except for those who couldn't come for special reasons, almost everyone else was there.

This was also an old tradition of the Old Monster Faction.

As long as someone from their faction entered the Bi Yuan Stone Cave, then as long as they weren't in an emergency, everyone would try their best to come and guard.

Because humans are not as skilled at concealment as the Mingye Clan and Lingyou Clan, who have innate concealment methods and abilities that allow them to remain undetected and not require summoning all their large forces to guard.

If they gathered together to guard and wait, they would certainly be discovered by others passing by.

Even if they used various concealment methods to hide, they would definitely be noticed by other passersby.

When other passersby saw them guarding in front of the Bi Yuan Wall, they would instantly guess that someone had entered the Bi Yuan Stone Cave from that location.

This would attract other Foreign race members to covet it.

Therefore, in order to ensure the safety of their own people after they emerged from the Bi Yuan Stone Cave, they would often come to guard.

At this moment, these sixty to seventy guys were still unaware that at another location along the Bi Yuan Wall, Lin Yang had already eliminated the main forces of the Mingye Clan and Lingyou Clan.

Within Source Star, even among the same race, unless faced with particularly dangerous situations, they would not easily share too much information with other clansmen.

Let alone across races.

Within Source Star, the transmission of news was relatively slow compared to the outside world.

Coupled with the racial animosity between humans and the Mingye Clan and Lingyou Clan, obtaining information about each other was even slower.

Because of this, when some people were waiting in boredom, someone couldn't help but say:

"When Zhang Yi comes out of the Bi Yuan Stone Cave, since so many of us are gathered together, why don't we just conduct a carpet search for that little bastard Lin Yang and kill him? There's been no news of him for years, maybe he's hiding somewhere breaking through. If we let him successfully break through and get away, it'll be too late."

This suggestion immediately received approval from many people.

"Agreed. Anyway, with so many of us, even searching all of Source Star wouldn't take too long. Killing that little bastard would also be a load off our minds. Then we can continue treasure hunting in peace, without the Ancestor Lords constantly asking about him."

"Good, it's settled then. Once Zhang Yi comes out, we'll go find that little bastard Lin Yang and kill him!"

"When we find him, we can't kill him too quickly. That would be too easy for him. We have to torture him severely first. We've spent a lot of effort looking for him these past few years. We have to vent our anger and get back the time we wasted on him!"

"Exactly."

"..."

Just as they were discussing how to torture and kill Lin Yang.

Suddenly.

A slightly mocking voice rang out:

"Oh? It sounds like you really want to kill me?"
