45: Chapter Crazy Plunder of Sakura Country's National Destiny

【Congratulations! You have successfully killed Sadako and gained 1,085,151 experience points.】

...【Congratulations! You have successfully killed Evil Spirit Sadako and gained 1,155,551 experience points.】

【Congratulations! You have successfully killed Toilet Sadako and gained 1,335,514 experience points.】

Lin Mo consumed an experience potion.

The more than one million experience points instantly tripled to over three million, significantly boosting his leveling speed.

【Congratulations! You have leveled up! All attributes +300. Current Level: LV243.】

“Did I… did I see that correctly? He instantly wiped out all the monsters inside with one attack!?”

“No matter what, I’m the youngest professor in the country. I’ve researched not three, but at least five Tiangang Corpses. This Tiangang Corpse Queen Jingjue, her power has increased tenfold?”

“What exactly is going on with you?”

Li Ruonan was stunned.

She only knew that her grandfather wanted to marry her to this man who possessed a Tiangang Corpse.

In Imperial Dragon City, she had seen all sorts of influential families.

Many men, like Principal Wang, wanted to marry her, but she had refused even when a Tiangang Corpse was offered as a betrothal gift.

It could be said that she had weathered many storms… If Lin Mo hadn’t saved her grandfather this time, she wouldn’t have reluctantly agreed to marry him for no reason.

Alright, although he was very handsome, if she married him, she married him, but that wasn't the real reason.

“Teacher, aren’t you a professor? Don’t you know the power of a Tiangang Corpse?”

Lin Mo counter-questioned.

Li Ruonan: “...”

【Warning: The Yamata no Orochi Calamity: Sadako’s Home dungeon has been cleared. Two 1500-ton reserve silver mines from Sakura Country will be transferred to Dragon Country.】

“Let’s go, to the next dungeon.”

Li Ruonan stood rooted to the spot, dumbfounded. It was that simple? One skill, and all the monsters inside were instantly annihilated?

Her grandfather hadn't lied to her; Lin Mo was truly powerful.

Moreover, he might even be able to clear Sakura Country’s national protection dungeon, the Yamata no Orochi Calamity.

They arrived at the next map, Ninja Shadows.

The mechanical ninjas here naturally possessed the ability to burrow underground and were immune to illusions.

“Hmm? Whack-a-mole? Looks like I should take a break first.”

Lin Mo took out a lazy sofa and then a barbecue grill.

He placed the marinated lamb skewers on it.

Soon, the fragrant aroma of cumin and meat wafted everywhere… Li Ruonan: “What?”

“You’re having a barbecue in the strongest defensive dungeon of an enemy country?”

As a professionally trained Li Ruonan, she felt like all the books she had read had been for naught.

“Eating when hungry? Is that strange? Want a skewer?”

“Absolutely! I had to maintain my composure at the auction house, I didn’t even dare to eat anything!”

Li Ruonan grabbed a few grilled lamb skewers and stuffed them into her mouth… Lin Mo: “...”

...At the dungeon’s core, the magnificent Yamatai Imperial Palace… A petite figure stood on the head of the king.

This person was the resurrected ancient queen of Sakura Country.

Himiko.

Her bare feet crushed the moonlight, demonic patterns seeped from the cracks in her bronze ghost armor, and bone horns held blood-cherry hair ornaments.

Chains wrapped around her waist and disappeared into her skirt armor, and as her toes touched the ground, the slit in her battle skirt flared, releasing a subtle fragrance, while a crimson vertical pupil swept past, and a bell-like gasp escaped from the seams of her armor.

“You good-for-nothing! You couldn’t even manage such a simple task as ambushing Dragon Country, and you lost all your men.”

“My first step to world domination has been ruined by you!”

The petite figure erupted with a domineering voice that echoed throughout the entire palace.

All the cabinet ministers were as silent as cicadas in winter.

The king trembled and said, “Unfilial descendants! Unfilial descendants! Please be merciful and spare me…”

“Spare you? Alright, I’ll find one of your subordinates, a life for a life!”

Himiko scanned the crowd.

Everyone present took a step back, except for Prime Minister Abe no Seimei, who remained rooted to the spot.

Abe no Seimei: ? ? ? ?

“Holy motherf***ing…”

Himiko’s waist-mounted katana flashed with a red light.

Abe was split in two.

He fell to the ground.

The entire action was seamless.

The draw-and-slash was as fast as lightning.

Himiko whispered as she stroked the king’s head, “Xu Fu’s bloodline, by your generation, is truly wasted…”

The remaining high-ranking officials of Sakura Country, having just been pulled back from the brink of death, hurriedly fled.

At this moment, the dungeon alarm sounded.

【Warning: The Yamata no Orochi Calamity: Ninja Shadows dungeon has been cleared. Five months of lifespan from all citizens of Sakura Country will be transferred to all citizens of Dragon Country.】

“Nani!?”

“Dragon Country actually launched a sneak attack without a sound, a slip of the foot! A slip of the foot!”

...Imperial Dragon City...Jiying Hall...Imperial Council.

Son of Heaven Zhou looked down upon his ministers.

“This time, Sakura Country took advantage of our Great Wall Watch dungeon’s unstable foundation and launched a sneak attack, causing numerous casualties among our talented personnel.”

“Whether or not to declare war, let everyone discuss it.”

“Reporting to Your Majesty, I advocate for war! Such actions by Sakura Country truly reveal their wolfish ambition. They brazenly attacked while our Great Wall Watch dungeon’s foundation was unstable, causing heavy casualties among our talented people. If this grudge is not avenged, where will our Dragon Country’s prestige lie?”

“Your Majesty, this old minister believes that peace is advisable. Let us condemn and protest this matter at the United Nations, demanding compensation. If a national war begins, lives will be devastated…”

Peace? That’s easy to say! Sakura Country still harbors ambitions to destroy us. To seek peace now, wouldn’t that be a sign of weakness?”

“War is not child’s play; it affects everything. If we rashly declare war, neighboring countries might seize the opportunity to cause trouble, leading to a multi-front war. It is best to prioritize peace, stabilize the situation first, and then plan slowly. That is the best strategy.”

...In the imperial court, ministers held differing opinions, with calls for war and peace rising and falling, in endless debate… Son of Heaven Zhou’s heart was moved, but he also hesitated.

Sakura Country had gone too far, repeatedly instigating conflicts.

They still remembered their humiliating defeat when they invaded Dragon Country years ago.

But should he make a move?

Attacking Sakura Country would be easy for Dragon Country.

However, Sakura Country was backed by the world’s strongest Eagle Country and other Western powers.

A difficult choice… At this moment, an announcement sounded, like a guiding star rising in the dark night!

【National Internal Announcement: Lin Mo’s team has invaded Sakura Country, plundering one thousand hectares of forest from the national protection dungeon ‘Yamata no Orochi Calamity’. Rewards will be issued upon successful exit from the dungeon.】

...【National Internal Announcement: Lin Mo’s team has invaded Sakura Country, plundering 900 billion USD from the national treasury in the national protection dungeon ‘Yamata no Orochi Calamity’. Rewards will be issued upon successful exit from the dungeon.】

Son of Heaven Zhou: ? ? ? ?

All the ministers: ? ? ?

Wait, what is going on here?

Someone attacked Sakura Country privately without Son of Heaven Zhou’s permission?

Needless to say, only one person would dare to do such a thing.

Son of Heaven Zhou: “Li Yunlong should have retired long ago. Since he didn’t, he suffered a loss this time and wants to take revenge himself. That old man is too stubborn…”

“Lian Po is old; even if he was at the peak of the Ghost Emperor back then, his strength is no longer what it was. I’m really worried about Lin Mo…”

Wait, no… Lin Mo’s team?

Lin Mo’s team?

Who is Lin Mo!?

“Ministry of Revenue, quickly find out who this Lin Mo is for me!”
