58: Chapter 58 The Number One Prodigy of the Purgatory Clan

The war ended, and Lin Xiao harvested another Gold-grade War Chest and Relic.

"Destroy the territory."

After completely destroying the Sin Clan Lord's territory, Lin Xiao returned to his own territory and quickly obtained a second Lords Heart, as well as a reasonably sized stone mine.

That stone mine had clearly existed in the Sin Clan Lord's territory for some years, and most of the ore inside had already been mined.

Lin Xiao didn't even have the interest to extract it, planning to sell it directly when the time came.

[You opened a War Chest (Gold) and obtained...]

[You opened the item "Nobuo Ono's Relic" and obtained...]

After opening the War Chest and the Relic, Lin Xiao made a huge profit again.

"Next."

The third target was the Bull Demon Race Lord.

[The battle has ended. You have won this invasion battle. Settlement is beginning.]

...

The Bull Demon Race Lord was also just an ordinary lord, not much stronger than the Sin Clan Lord. Facing the group of Meteorites descending from the sky, he had no way to counter them and was instantly razed to the ground.

Those two ordinary lords had managed to destroy at most three Meteorites.

Their performance was quite a bit worse than the Shadow Race Lord.

"Destroy the territory."

Destroying the Bull Demon Race Lord gave Lin Xiao a second Territory Fragment.

Unlike the first Territory Fragment, this one was about 25 square kilometers and featured a vast, lush forest.

Not only did it have territory, but it also came with a resource point.

Lin Xiao naturally accepted it happily and integrated this Territory Fragment into the south side of his territory, bringing his territory size to 135 square kilometers.

[You opened a War Chest (Gold) and obtained...]

[You opened the item "Cabson's Relic" and obtained...]

The items given by Nobuo Ono and Cabson were a notch worse than Gals'.

Lin Xiao hurriedly scanned all his gains.

He used what he could immediately and planned to bundle and sell everything else later.

In less than half an hour, he had wiped out three alien Third-Tier Lords; Lin Xiao's efficiency was terrifyingly high.

During this time, his territory did not suffer any invasions.

"There is still one left."

Before taking action, Lin Xiao checked the status of the Burning Sky Flame Dragon.

The skill of summoning Meteorites consumed a massive amount of energy, and using it three times in a short period was a significant burden for them.

"Lord, we can summon Meteorites at most one more time in the short term," Taylor said truthfully.

"That's enough."

Lin Xiao nodded.

The Burning Sky Flame Dragon's mana recovery was an issue he planned to address as a priority next.

This determined the speed at which he slaughtered alien lords.

Lin Xiao remembered that the barracks technology of the Blazing Dragon Nest included projects to accelerate mana recovery; besides that, he also needed to arrange for equipment and items that could rapidly restore mana.

Unlike the previous three lords.

The final Purgatory Race Lord was not only a veteran lord, but also likely extremely powerful among veteran lords, far surpassing the Shadow Race Lord.

This much was evident from the invading army he had sent out.

"Get ready; I expect you will need to take action later?"

Lin Xiao turned his head and said to Qian Ying and Tu Lie.

Upon hearing this, the dagger in Qian Ying's hand spun once, while Tu Lie licked the corner of his mouth, a bloodthirsty glint appearing in his eyes.

In the previous three expeditions, they hadn't had a chance to take action.

Now, it was finally their turn to shine.

"Begin the invasion."

...

Meanwhile, in the Purgatory Race territory.

The Purgatory Race Lord, Sanier, was not in the heavily guarded main city, but had come to the outskirts, far from the main city, to welcome an honored guest.

"Your Highness Yage, why have you come in person?"

"I am truly honored beyond measure..."

Sanier flattered him incessantly.

The one being flattered was a noble-looking Purgatory Race youth, whose scales were engraved with prestigious golden patterns.

This Purgatory Race youth was named Yage, and he was also the current number one on the Purgatory Race's prodigy ranking.

Of course, this was not the main reason why Sanier was flattering him so much.

The Purgatory Race had a strict hierarchy. Yage's father was an incredibly powerful high-tier lord, and as his descendant, Yage's status was naturally incomparably noble, far beyond what Sanier could compare to.

"Heh, I wouldn't be at ease letting Phyllis come alone."

Yage smiled slightly, looking at a slender, elegant figure behind him, his eyes filled with doting and concern.

"Alright, Sanier, no need for idle talk."

"Let's complete the mission first."

Yage said indifferently.

"Very well, Your Highness Yage, please follow me." Sanier dared not delay and hurriedly led the way.

"I heard that the one you are targeting is the Human Race's number one Prodigy of this generation?" On the way to the main city, Yage asked with some curiosity.

"Although the Human Race is not as good as our Purgatory Race, they can still be considered a strong race in the Chaos Source Sea. How does their number one Prodigy compare to me?"

Upon hearing this, Sanier immediately laughed.

"Your Highness Yage, what status do you hold? A mere Human Race number one Prodigy has no qualifications to compare with you. Furthermore, the current number one Prodigy is just an opportunist with shallow foundations. If we weren't using him as bait, we would have already finished him off."

Although he knew Sanier's words contained flattery, it still made Yage feel very comfortable.

The Sin Race was investigating and locating the coordinates of Lin Xiao's territory, and the Purgatory Race was doing the same.

After all, every day that Lin Xiao remained alive was a slap in the face to both major races.

Now that he no longer had any utility, he certainly needed to be eliminated as soon as possible.

Sanier was one of the lords executing this mission.

After using an extremely precious item, the Purgatory Race could confirm that among the lords they had sent out, someone must have already invaded Lin Xiao's territory.

The next step was to investigate them one by one.

Originally, this mission had nothing to do with Yage.

But after upgrading to a Level 3 territory, he had a massive stroke of luck and recruited a mystery-type Epic Hero, namely Phyllis, who could trace that thread of Karma to investigate and locate the target's territory coordinates.

Since he was free anyway, Yage joined in, hoping to gain some merit at least.

After all, the Purgatory Race's situation was completely different from the Human Race's. They currently held all the advantages in the First Source Sea, and their Prodigies didn't need to worry about threats from the Human Race at all; there was essentially no pressure to survive.

Yage had come by way of reinforcements.

He valued Phyllis extremely highly and would absolutely not allow any accidents to happen to her, so he personally led the army to escort her.

Phyllis was currently only Third-Tier, and to perform precise investigation and location, she needed to go to the Lords Mansion.

Just then, Sanier's expression suddenly changed slightly.

"Your Highness Yage, my territory has been invaded."

Hearing the invasion notification ringing in his ears, there wasn't much panic on Sanier's face; instead, he was somewhat surprised.

Who was invading him?

The Human Race's veteran lords and top-tier lords were currently being attacked with full force; it was impossible for them to have any spare capacity to invade others.

Was it some ordinary Human Race lord who had randomly searched him out?

Or was it...

Sanier suddenly thought of a possibility: the Human Race lord he had previously invaded.

That Human Race lord had a certain possibility of being Lin Xiao.

If it was the other party coming for revenge, then it would be normal.

"Lord Yage, the one invading my territory might be that Lin Xiao." Sanier hurriedly stated his judgment.
