90: Chapter 89 The Great Battle Begins! A Blood Sacrifice of 900,000 Lin Family Members!

Outside the Trial Tower.

The earth for ten thousand miles around no longer resembled its original form.

Mountain ranges had been leveled, canyons filled, and the surface looked as if it had been repeatedly kneaded by a giant hand, leaving only charred black lava plains and bottomless rift valleys.

The aftershocks of various laws colliding lingered in the air, and an occasional bolt of lightning would strike down from the void, exploding a patch of rubble.

A few low-level monsters that had just respawned from underground stood blankly on the ruins, wondering why the world they were born into looked like this.

The battle was over.

Qin Lan withdrew her Law Avatar, and the dark purple giant dissipated into streams of light.

She landed on the ground; the left sleeve of her garment had completely disappeared from the elbow down, revealing a charred scar running across her forearm.

However, her expression was relaxed.

She took out a bottle of perfect-quality advanced healing potion and drank it in one gulp!

Something miraculous happened.

At the spot where her left arm had vanished, dense points of light gathered, and a few seconds later, the missing arm was restored to its original state!

This was a perfect potion with the property of limb regeneration, and its effect was incredibly powerful.

"Report."

Pei Jun walked over; his armor was covered in cracks, and white flames still flickered slightly at the shoulder plate.

"Twelve killed, three captured with heavy injuries, and nine escaped, including Zhou Yanting."

"On our side, zero casualties."

"Two heavily injured, six lightly injured."

"Everyone injured can be treated with perfect-grade advanced healing potions of the corresponding properties!"

Twelve against twenty-four, with zero casualties.

Qin Lan moved her left arm, the residual pain making her wince.

"That old fox Zhou Yanting ran away quite fast."

"He was already looking for an escape route ten minutes into the fight."

Pei Jun's tone was flat.

"But it doesn't matter. It's fine that he ran; let him take today's news back so we don't have to issue another announcement."

Shen Yuntang flew back from a distance. After her Battle Angel form dissipated, she still wore that calm and gentle expression.

"Good work, everyone. Tend to your injuries first."

Her gaze swept over the Trial Tower.

While everything for ten thousand miles around had been smashed to pieces, this tower hadn't even caught a speck of dust.

As the embodiment of rules, the Trial Tower was impervious to all magic!

"I wonder how high he can climb."

Shen Yuntang whispered.

Qin Lan followed her gaze, pursed her lips, and said nothing.

Just then, the communication array disk at Shen Yuntang's waist lit up.

She took it out to look, and her expression changed.

It wasn't the ordinary communication channel lighting up, but the highest encrypted line of the Alliance Headquarters.

Critical intelligence.

Shen Yuntang connected.

Her fingers tightened slightly, and a faint cracking sound came from the edge of the array disk.

Qin Lan noticed her abnormality.

"What is it?"

Shen Yuntang frowned and said,

"The Lin family is gone."

Qin Lan frowned.

"What do you mean?"

"In the Bloodline Secret Realm, Lin Mo killed one of their Fifth Class Advancement and dozens of their Fourth Class Advancement."

Shen Yuntang's voice was somewhat heavy.

"In the battle we just fought, two more of the Lin family's Fifth Class Advancement died."

"The Lin family's vitality is severely damaged, and their upper management has suffered heavy losses."

"And then the Zhang family moved against them."

Qin Lan's pupils shrank suddenly.

"You mean?"

"The Zhang family took advantage of the weakness and slaughtered all of the Lin family's high-level members."

"The rest... everyone with Lin family blood—"

A trace of imperceptible trembling finally appeared in Shen Yuntang's voice.

"Were all used by the Zhang family to refine a Bloodline Secret Technique."

The air froze.

Pei Jun stopped his movements of bandaging his wounds.

Several Fifth Class Advancement experts resting nearby looked up simultaneously.

"How many people?"

Qin Lan's voice was tight.

"A full 900,000 plus."

Shen Yuntang reported a terrifying number.

"Including the elderly, children, and newborn babies. As long as Lin family blood flowed in their veins, not one was left."

"Not only that, to ensure no one was missed, the Zhang family killed every living person in the Lin family base."

"A full 7 million ordinary people..."

No one spoke.

The sound of the wind on the wasteland suddenly became very loud, howling and whistling as if it were roaring.

Everyone's fists clenched until their knuckles cracked.

"What about the Lin family patriarch?"

"After being released from the dungeon and seeing the tragic state of his clan's lands, he committed suicide on the spot to atone for his sins."

"The images sent back by the intelligence department's spies show... the blood qi over the Lin clan's lands surged thirty thousand meters into the sky."

"Grievance fills the air for tens of thousands of miles."

"Even nearby monsters don't dare approach."

Pei Jun finally spoke, his voice sounding as if it were squeezed through his teeth.

"A Bloodline Secret Technique from over nine hundred thousand people... Can Lin Mo... withstand it?"

No one could answer that question.

Because no one knew exactly how terrifying a Bloodline Secret Technique refined from 930,000 lives would be.

Shen Yuntang opened her eyes again.

Her gaze lingered on the Trial Tower for two seconds, then she withdrew it.

Her expression had returned to calm.

"There's one more thing."

Her voice became very cold.

"News just came from an undercover agent."

"The armed forces of the Eighteen Great Families are secretly massing in the south."

"Vanguard forces of the families have been detected on the outskirts of all five major Alliance cities."

"Preliminary judgment is that the target is—Su Xiaoli!"

Hearing this, everyone looked up sharply.

The war—had completely begun.

"Qin Lan."

Shen Yuntang turned to her.

"You stay here and wait for Lin Mo to come out."

Qin Lan nodded silently.

"From now on, don't worry about us."

Shen Yuntang gave a light chuckle, then put away her gentle and warm smile.

Expressionless, she said:

"The Purge Plan left by the Alliance Leader, it's time to execute it."

She turned and walked toward the flying ship.

As she passed Pei Jun, her footsteps paused for a moment.

"Except for Qin Lan, everyone follow me."

The flying ship ascended.

...

Inside the second floor of the Trial Tower.

A tall young man walked out, with long silver hair and a golden vertical mark on his forehead, the symbol of the Dragon Temple bloodline.

With his hands behind his back and an aura as deep as an abyss, his first words were:

"Mere human monkeys, you also deserve—"

Lin Mo's six domains expanded simultaneously.

Before the silver storm of the Blade Domain could even take shape, the dark gold aura of the Bloodlust Domain had already siphoned more than half the energy of the entire floor's space;

The moment the Interception Domain and the Air Pressure Domain overlapped, the air was compressed into visible, distorted folds;

The invisible blade energy of the Thousand Blades Domain spread along the ground, the stone slabs snapping silently where the blade energy touched.

Stun Domain, Bloodlust Domain, Airflow Domain, Blade Domain—six rules expanded simultaneously!

Like six millstones stacked together grinding outward, the rumbling sound seemed like it would completely crush the entire floor's space.

Before the young man could finish his sentence, he stood frozen on the spot.

Then, his whole body trembling, he knelt down:

"Big brother, I was wrong! Let me go! Please!"

Lin Mo raised his right hand and made a casual swipe.

The Dragon Son turned into golden points of light, not even having time to let out a scream.

Then he picked up the skill stone.

Grind to level 1000 to awaken a new domain, then continue to the next floor.

...

Third floor.

"Puny Second Class Advancement..."

"Domains, open!"

Seven domains expanded simultaneously!

"Big brother, spare my life!"

...

Fourth floor.

"Disgusting human monke—"

"Open!"

Eight domains expanded simultaneously!

"Big boss, you misheard me. I said you are truly heroic and invincible, unparalleled in this world!"

...

Seventh floor.

"Uncivilized..."

"Adoptive Father, would you like a cup of tea? I've already brewed it for you!"
