61: Chapter 61 The Hell Clan, the Sin Clan Shaken

"Is it over?"

Lin Xiao was stunned and looked down.

In the burning main city below, Tu Lie displayed his Divine Might, unleashing his terrifying attacks entirely onto the damaged defensive buildings, doing his best to demolish the towers.

However, perfect-grade buildings were not that easily destroyed; in this short time, he hadn't made a move on the Lords Mansion yet.

It wasn't him.

Was it Qian Ying's successful decapitation?

Or was it that the Purgatory Race lord, already heavily injured under the massive area-of-effect strike of the Meteorites, had finally breathed his last?

Thus, Lin Xiao had secured victory in this invasion battle.

Whichever reason it was, Lin Xiao couldn't care less right now. He opened his inventory as fast as he could, his gaze landing on the architectural blueprint he had just acquired.

"Epic Grade, it really is Epic Grade!"

Lin Xiao was deeply shocked.

Just how wealthy were they to be using an Epic Grade building in the First Source Sea?

One had to know that even an Epic Grade defensive building wouldn't perform much better than a rare grade one in the First Source Sea; at most, it would just be indestructible.

But if one only sought to make defensive buildings hard to destroy, a perfect-grade one was actually more than enough.

Using an Epic Grade was simply too extravagant.

A building of this grade was something Lin Xiao couldn't damage in the slightest, even if he exerted his full strength.

After destroying an opponent's territory, the loot obtained was random.

Randomly drawing one from the opponent's numerous buildings, resource points, and territories, and actually pulling an Epic Grade architectural blueprint...

Was his luck just too good, pulling one of the very few Epic Grade buildings in the opponent's territory, or were Epic Grade buildings actually quite common in their territory?

Lin Xiao's heart stirred slightly. He selected the fallen legacy item of the opponent and chose to open it.

[You have opened the item "Yager's Legacy", obtaining 37.7 million Source Crystals, 650,000 units of food, 890,000 units of wood... Battering Ram (Epic), star dome barrier (Epic), Lightning Cannon Blueprint (Perfect), Random troop talisman (Epic), Random Hero Token (Epic)...]

"How much?"

Lin Xiao rubbed his ears, wondering if he had misheard.

This legacy was simply exaggeratingly rich.

Not only were the Source Crystals and basic resources astonishingly abundant, but the other items were also frighteningly numerous—and not just numerous, but of high quality as well.

The lowest among them was rare grade, with dozens of perfect-grade items, and even several Epic Grade ones.

"Just who on earth is this Yager?"

Lin Xiao gasped.

The legacy was only a tenth of the opponent's inventory. Even if his luck was extremely good and he had drawn all the best things, it still showed how many top-tier items were in Yager's inventory, and how incredibly deep his foundation was.

Needless to say, Yager was definitely a top-tier lord, and one of the very best at that.

If Lin Xiao had to launch a frontal assault, even with his current territory strength, it would have been a bitter struggle.

Because the opponent's army would definitely consist entirely of Epic Grade heroes and troop types at the limit of the Third Tier, and their territory's defensive strength would be invincible. Even under a barrage of Meteorites, a large number of defensive buildings would have survived.

Wanting to destroy the opponent's territorial defenses with just a single wave of Meteorite attacks was simply impossible.

In fact, before long, the opponent would have been able to redeploy their defensive system.

Such a figure...

Yet, he had died here in such an inexplicable manner. Before his death, he must have been incredibly aggrieved.

"Hahaha, a good death indeed."

"This wave is a massive profit."

Lin Xiao didn't care about any of that; the opponent was a Purgatory Race lord, and that was enough.

As for the possibility of the opponent having some grand background that would invite frantic retaliation from the Purgatory Race?

Lin Xiao didn't care too much about that either.

Once a person dies, their Karma dissipates.

As long as he was careful, it would be very difficult for them to trace it back to him.

Once he grew strong enough, why would he fear any retaliation?

[You have opened a War Chest (Gold), obtaining 1 million Source Crystals, 100,000 units of food, 100,000 units of wood, 100,000 units of stone, 10,000 units of iron ore, 1,000 units of silver ore, 100 units of gold ore, and Gale Claws (Excellent).]

[You have opened the item "Sanier's Legacy", obtaining 2.35 million Source Crystals, 30,000 units of food, 70,000 units of wood... Slaughtering Sword (Perfect), Random Hero Token (Perfect), Thunder Rock Tower (Rare)...]

Lin Xiao casually opened Sanier's Legacy and the War Chest as well.

Sanier was indeed an extremely strong existence even among veteran lords. His legacy was naturally not bad either, containing several perfect-grade items, far better than Gals, who was also a veteran lord.

However, compared to Yager's Legacy, it was nothing.

"Destroy territory."

Without lingering in Sanier's territory, Lin Xiao quickly chose to destroy the territory and then returned to his own.

Thirty seconds later, Lin Xiao harvested a territory fragment.

After integrating it into his territory, his territory's size instantly became 180 square kilometers.

...

The rear world of the Sin Race.

"What? Ono Nobuo is dead?"

Not long after Lin Xiao killed Ono Nobuo, Matsumoto Toshio quickly received the news, and his brow instantly furrowed.

"It was Lin Xiao who killed him."

Although there was no evidence, Matsumoto Toshio was certain that it was definitely Lin Xiao who did it.

It was true that Ono Nobuo was only an ordinary lord, but he was no weakling among ordinary lords. Even if he were invaded by a Human Race lord, he wouldn't fall so easily.

The veteran lords and top-tier lords of the Human Race were too busy looking after themselves. Among the remaining Third-Tier Lords, only Lin Xiao had the strength to quickly finish him off.

"This boy has deep schemes; he must not be underestimated."

Matsumoto Toshio's expression was somewhat unsightly as he recalled the intelligence reported by Ono Nobuo.

Connecting the dots, it suddenly became clear.

Lin Xiao had only dealt with Ono Nobuo's invading army on the sixth day. Looking at it now, it was clearly done on purpose to mislead them.

"No need to panic, Ono Nobuo might not be the only one who invaded Lin Xiao's territory."

Matsumoto Toshio quickly calmed down; the other lords executing the mission were all fine.

However, what caused Matsumoto Toshio's heart to gradually sink to the bottom was that as the investigation proceeded and targets were eliminated one by one, it was finally confirmed that only Ono Nobuo had invaded Lin Xiao's territory.

But now, he was dead.

"Damn it."

Matsumoto Toshio was furious to the extreme. He had never expected such an outcome.

Had he known earlier, he would have sent a stronger veteran lord to execute the mission.

Initially, he was also worried that if too many people invaded, Lin Xiao wouldn't be able to withstand it, which was why he lowered the strength of the executor.

After all, they couldn't make their act look too fake either. Otherwise, if they were seen through, those Human Race Prodigies wouldn't fall for the trap.

What gave Matsumoto Toshio the biggest headache now was how to account to Drake. Previously, he had patted his chest and guaranteed that he could immediately determine Lin Xiao's territorial coordinates. Now, how on earth was he supposed to do that?

Drake was not known for having a good temper.

Speak of the devil, just then, Matsumoto Toshio received a transmission from Drake.

He didn't dare to delay and braced himself to attend the meeting of the Heretic Hunting Bureau.

However, to his surprise, Drake didn't even mention Lin Xiao.

"Latest news: the number one Prodigy of the Purgatory Race for this generation, Yager, has fallen."

Looking at the gathered crowd, Drake spoke in a low voice.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was stunned.

"Yager has fallen?"

"How is that possible? As far as I know, he was already a top-tier lord."

The lords attending the meeting all found it hard to believe.

Although Yager had only recently become a lord, he had a powerful background and held endless resources. Coupled with having no external enemies, he had upgraded to a Level 3 territory after the Seven-Day Assessment. By now, he was already a pinnacle top-tier lord, with no weaknesses other than a lack of war experience.

Under the current situation where they held all the advantages, who could possibly kill him?
