81: Chapter 81 Capturing the Second Tier Alive, Tong Qian in Trouble

As time passed, the state of the Second-order Deity grew increasingly weak. A massive number of Mortal Realm Believers within the Divine Kingdom lay paralyzed on the ground.

The leaves and flowers of spiritual plants drooped, and the straight trunks of spirit trees began to bend. A large number of Mortal Realm beasts, having lost the ability to move, let out terrified and desperate wails.

"What kind of Law is this?!"

The situation within the Divine Kingdom caused the already cold heart of the Second-order Deity to beat violently.

In the time that followed, Lin Xiao and his group were like a persistent illness, firmly rooted within the Divine Kingdom, and the situation inside had undergone a fundamental reversal.

Tens of thousands of Nascent Soul Realm Cultivators had gone from being the hunters to the hunted. Whenever a Nascent Soul Realm Believer's spiritual light flickered out, the starship would immediately shoot out a light net, easily capturing the Nascent Soul Realm Believer just like catching fish.

At this moment, the starship was still cruising across the sky, and the light net behind it had already captured thousands of Nascent Soul Believers.

Divine Kingdom time, day eight!

Of the original tens of thousands of Nascent Soul Believers, fewer than ten thousand were still being chased. Most of them had been captured by the starship's light net.

A small portion had found gaps and scattered during their escape.

The nearly ten thousand Believers ahead suddenly saw their escape lights flicker, just like a faulty light bulb.

In just a moment, the spiritual light on their bodies was completely extinguished. The large group of Believers, like birds with broken wings, plummeted from the high sky.

Seeing this, a massive light net, prepared days in advance, was cast downwards...

In Anping County, inside the No. 1 Middle School campus, the unstable Divine Power fluctuations on the Second-order Deity plunged into dead silence after a violent tremor.

The body sitting on the chair seemed to lose all strength at this moment. It slumped onto the chair like a puddle of mud, and at the same time, the Second-order Deity let out a roar.

"They are coming out!"

Before the words had even faded, a burst of light appeared not far away. A star destroyer, shrunk countless times and the size of a light shuttle, instantly appeared on the spot.

The moment the starship appeared, dozens of Divine Power attacks infused with different Laws converged and blasted towards the starship.

A pale blue shield around the starship instantly activated, and at the same time, more than twenty Divine Power attacks of different Laws arrived first despite being launched later.

While shattering the opponent's attacks, the remaining small portion of Divine Power slammed solidly into a First-order Deity.

This Deity had not expected this outcome and only had time to deploy a shield in front of itself before being sent flying backward by the impact of the Divine Power.

A mouthful of special, red-and-white Divine Blood sprayed from its mouth. The Laws of Fire, Frost, and Earth dyed this Deity in colorful hues.

The colorful power of the Laws was spreading along its body towards the opponent's Divine Kingdom...

The moment the opponent's attack was neutralized, Lin Xiao swept his Divine Thought. The completely paralyzed Second-order Deity beside him was instantly taken into his Divine Kingdom.

And he immediately diverted and threw it to Shen Huai, having him keep it under guard within his own Divine Kingdom.

In the classroom, a flash of surprise crossed the eyes of the students who were Divine Beings. These people, who had been so arrogant just a moment ago, had one of their own heavily injured in a single exchange.

This was clearly a rescue mission!

At this moment, Teacher Tong Qian and another teacher saw a strange look appear on their previously pale faces. As they moved, a flash of Law power flickered over the Divine Chains that pierced their shoulder blades.

Both of them let out a muffled groan.

When the starship disappeared and Lin Xiao's group appeared, chaos erupted among the group of students who were being held captive.

"Lin Xiao?! How could it be him? Could those people beside him all be Deities?"

"Didn't they say he was just trash abandoned by the Lin Family... What is going on now? Why do those people who look like Deities act as if they respect him above all else?"

"Lin Xiao, save me! I am a direct descendant of the Chen Family! As long as you save me, the Chen Family will definitely give you a large amount of resources! At the very least thousands... No! At the very least, they will give you hundreds of millions, billions of faith points!"

"And me! I am from the Hu Family!"

"I am from the Fang Family!"

These controlled Divine Beings called out for help one after another. Only then did Lin Xiao realize that these were all descendants of the powerful families and major factions of Anping County.

Listening to the pleas of these Divine Beings, Meng Ning looked at them with a speechless expression. The enemies hadn't even been dealt with yet; wasn't calling for help just reminding the enemy to use them as human shields?

However, the enemies opposite seemed to "disdain" such underhanded behavior. They covered their entire bodies in Divine Power light carrying various Laws.

In an instant, dozens of hundred-meter light projections stood in the school, and the original classroom became complete ruins.

According to Meng Ning and the others, these light projections were a manifestation of a Deity's strength. The stronger the Believers, the more condensed the light projection.

The more high-level Believers there were, the larger the light projection would be. Once a lower-tier Deity released their Law light projection, it was basically clear at a glance who was strong and who was weak.

Of course, a real battle wasn't just about looking at these; it also depended on individual equipment, the application of Laws, Divine Power reserves, as well as external items like Divine Weapons and Divine Artifacts.

A Divine Kingdom war was a life-and-death battle. Once invading or being invaded, it was either a matter of completely destroying the opponent's Divine Kingdom core or slaughtering a large number of the opponent's high-level Believers.

Every Divine Kingdom war meant the decline or fall of a Deity. Generally, in an encounter battle like this one, when everyone's strength was comparable, no one would be foolish enough to place the battlefield within their own Divine Kingdom.

Therefore, fighting with Law light projections was the best choice. On one hand, it allowed for the full utilization of one's own strength; on the other, if one was outmatched, one could quickly escape.

Although Lin Xiao's side only had 24 Law light projections at the moment, excluding the two alien Deities, their light projections were clearly several grades higher than the opponent's in terms of both size and density.

After all, they were Star Academy graduates. Even if they were considered the worst, in a place like Anping, they were still top-tier Prodigy material!

Seeing the intensity of the Law light projections on their side, the expressions of the 37 Deities opposite all looked somewhat unpleasant.

However, things had reached this point; at the very least, they had to stall the opponent.

The Law light projections of both sides instantly clashed, and the scattered Divine Power pressure made it impossible for the Divine Beings present to even lift their heads.

Inside Lin Xiao's Divine Kingdom, those Divine Artifacts that hadn't been given away seemed to have been stimulated. The power of the Laws around them surged, instantly neutralizing the external pressure.

With two alien Demigods following him, Lin Xiao walked quickly to Teacher Tong Qian.

"Teacher, weren't you at the Qingxu Market? How did you get captured by these people?"

Teacher Tong Qian pulled a painful smile to the corner of her mouth, and the chains on her body flashed with Law power, causing her expression to twist in pain.

"I was lucky, so I came back early. After all, the daily expenses of the four major markets are not small. It looks like your harvest this time is quite good. You even lied to your teacher, claiming to be a concubine-born son. Looking at you, I suspect you are actually a direct descendant that some second-generation Lin Family member hid in Anping, right?"

With over twenty Deities as attendants, what concubine-born son would have this kind of grandeur? Concubine-born? Indeed, children from large families have sharp minds.

Thinking that Lin Xiao might be the direct son of some second-generation Lin Family member, Teacher Tong Qian's eyes lit up. She looked at Lin Xiao with longing.

"Student Lin previously said that you owed your teacher a favor. I wonder if that still counts now?"

Not knowing how the topic had shifted to favors, Lin Xiao was slightly stunned and nodded.

"What a student says naturally counts. However, given your current state, Teacher, I think it's better to rescue you first..."
