160: The Intention of the Purification Society

Outside Zhu Lang City, deep within the dense forest.

Three Black Robed Men, wearing vertical eye masks, stood beside Black Eye, carefully examining the Formation before them.

They were Luo Chengan's team, who had just arrived at Zhu Lang City.

“It is indeed a sacrificial Formation…”

Wei Xuan said in a deep voice.

This Formation opens a spatial channel by sacrificing a large number of lives, summoning powerful creatures.

It typically uses the target creature's essence blood as a guide to summon it.

“It's related to the Great Emperor Cang Ming of the Three-Eyed Clan…”

Luo Chengan's face was pale as he gulped down a bottle of healing potion.

He had just used his Precognition Ability, catching some blurry images.

The face of one of the phantoms was identical to Great Emperor Cang Ming in Green Bud's intelligence report.

After a discussion, Luo Chengan and Wei Xuan roughly deduced the World Purifying Society's intentions.

“Report to the boss immediately!”

...Goblin Secret Realm, Giant Mine City.

In front of the teleportation channel, a large number of goblins lined up, entering Lin Xingyu's Inner World.

Morin's persuasion work went unexpectedly smoothly.

After all, the area outside Giant Mine City was riddled with minefields, so these goblins couldn't escape even if they wanted to.

Lin Xingyu nodded in satisfaction.

He didn't care if these goblins were truly submissive.

Once they entered the Inner World, their loyalty would unlock, and he could then screen them based on their loyalty.

The addition of these goblins would completely solve the problem of insufficient troops.

The Treant Clan would also be freed up to specialize in planting.

Of course, this would still take some time.

Only when the goblins' loyalty reached above 50 could the risk of betrayal be eliminated.

Wang Chiyao had already finished sweeping the mining area and joined the ranks of clearing the urban area.

The mining area yielded a rich harvest: 433 Ore carts and 2436 engineering mechas of various types.

In addition, a large amount of Ore was obtained.

Now, the Ore in the Inner World was piled up like mountains, enough to squander for a long time.

Upon entering the urban area, Wang Chiyao headed straight for the mechanical production factory.

Soon, her excited shouts came through:

“Wow, wow, this is an Ore cart production line!”

She carefully placed the production line into her Inner World, afraid of causing even the slightest damage.

Seeing this, Lin Xingyu's lips curled up slightly.

Wang Chiyao was obsessed with these machines, no wonder she Awakened a mecha-type spirit seed.

Compared to the engineering mechas, Lin Xingyu valued the Ore carts more.

They were large, powerful, and not slow in movement.

He planned to equip the Ore carts with armor and ramming horns, transforming them into “battering rams.”

If these were on the battlefield, rows of “battering rams” charging irresistibly towards the enemy… just thinking about it made his blood boil!

Just then, Lin Xingyu's wristband suddenly vibrated.

“Buzz—”

The communication connected, and Luo Chengan's voice came through:

“Boss, we know the World Purifying Society's intentions!”

“They want to sacrifice everyone in Zhu Lang City to summon Great Emperor Cang Ming…”

...Ten minutes later, Lin Xingyu hung up the call and fell into deep thought.

The World Purifying Society's ambition was not small, actually attempting to summon Great Emperor Cang Ming to invade the interior of Blue Star.

Fortunately, Wei Xuan had already tampered with the Formation, ensuring that the sacrifice could not proceed.

One piece of information piqued Lin Xingyu's interest:

“The sacrificial Formation requires Great Emperor Cang Ming's essence blood as a guide.”

This was the essence blood of a God-rank Experts!

If it could be given to the World Tree to devour and produce evolution fruit… he was determined to get this!

...On the other side.

Wang Ledian stood in a huge factory, full of excitement.

“Haha! I finally found it!”

On the production line before him, goblin bombs were rapidly taking shape.

This was a fully automated production line; as long as the raw materials were sufficient, it could continuously produce goblin bombs.

Wang Ledian had personally experienced the power of goblin bombs.

With them, his attack methods would diversify… Thinking of this, Wang Ledian became even happier, soon letting out a pig-like squeal… Inner World.

All the goblins had been transferred here and were undergoing the first round of screening.

“Line up, one by one!”

Morin's voice, amplified by a psionic megaphone, echoed throughout the entire area.

“Everyone, don't panic. This is to find out the spies; it won't affect anyone else!”

Under his organization, the goblins walked past Lin Xingyu one by one.

Goblins with hostile loyalty were selected and thrown to the World Tree, to be converted into evolution fruit.

The goblins who passed the screening were settled in specially designated areas to build their homes.

From now on, they would reside here and contribute to the development of the Inner World… Goblin Secret Realm, Tiangong City.

Inside the council hall, the atmosphere was extremely tense.

“The Fifth Legion are all idiots! Tens of thousands of men, just like that, gone!”

A young councilor waved his arms, his face full of anger.

They had just received intelligence:

The Fifth Legion was blown sky-high by the enemy while on their way to reinforce Giant Mine City.

The entire legion was wiped out, with no survivors.

So, tens of thousands of troops were sent out, just to hear a bang?

Moreover, the bombs were made by their own goblins.

This was simply a great humiliation!

“Giant Mine City has fallen. The urgent task is to mobilize a large army to eliminate this group of enemies!”

A councilor wearing a metal helmet said in a deep voice.

Not long ago, they received intelligence that Vice City Lord Morin led the city's goblins to surrender.

The entire population of Giant Mine City had been teleported away by the enemy.

Since then, they had received no further news about Giant Mine City.

The fall of Giant Mine City, one of the seven major cities of the Empire, was a heavy blow to them.

“The decisive battle in the Central Mountain Range is raging; we cannot withdraw any more troops, otherwise, all efforts will be in vain!”

An elderly councilor frowned deeply.

Currently, the large army in the Central Mountain Range was engaged in a decisive battle with theMythical Beasts.

The previous withdrawal of the Fifth Legion was already the limit.

If more troops were withdrawn, the goblin side would fall into a disadvantage.

At that time, they would not only fail to attack the main peak but might even be driven out by theMythical Beasts.

The scene immediately erupted in discussion, with everyone arguing… “Gentlemen, quiet down!”

The Speaker knocked on the table, looked around at everyone, and said in a deep voice.

“The battle in the Central Mountain Range concerns the fate of the Empire and must not be lost, but Giant Mine City cannot be ignored either…”

“The current plan is to call on the nobles to contribute their private armies and form new legions…”

“Now is a critical moment for the survival of the Empire; I hope you all set an example…”

He had already investigated; the nobles of the Empire held a large number of private soldiers.

The equipment of these private soldiers was even more refined than that of the main combat legions.

If they were assembled, their combat power would be no less than two main combat legions.

Enough to solve the Empire's urgent crisis.

And the councilors present were precisely the largest nobles in the Empire… “When the nest is overturned, no egg is left intact. I agree with the Speaker's suggestion!”

The young councilor stood up, speaking passionately.

This was a battle of races; once the Empire was destroyed, no one would be spared.

Although he was usually selfish, he could still distinguish right from wrong in such major matters.

“I also agree!”

“Agreed!”
