196: The Three-Eyed Clan's Operation Begins

Sakura Island, an island largely swallowed by a spatial rift.

The former indigenous people of theJapanese had long since vanished.

In their place, continuous, towering military barracks stood.

This was the entrance to the Otherworld Battlefield.

The sea breeze swept past, carrying a faint scent of blood, drifting into the distance.

In front of the rift, at the defense line established by the Federation, the atmosphere was heavy.

Several soldiers were dragging the corpses of World Purifying Society members, throwing them onto a pile of bodies nearby, preparing for unified disposal later.

"This is already the seventeenth wave today, isn't it?"

The captain stared at the pile of corpses before him, his brow deeply furrowed.

Today was truly eerie; so many World Purifying Society members had suddenly appeared, attempting to sneak into the Otherworld Battlefield.

Some didn't even bother to disguise themselves, rushing in like madmen, seemingly desperate to break through.

"Yes, boss! Did these lunatics take the wrong medicine today? Even low-Rank Evolvers dare to charge in!"

A young soldier beside him wiped away the blood spatters on his face.

The Otherworld Battlefield was extremely dangerous; only Advanced Evolvers at the very least dared to enter.

He truly couldn't understand what these low-Rank Evolvers were doing there.

In the past, these World Purifying Society members were keen on causing destruction within Blue Star.

Even when they went to the Otherworld Battlefield, it was mostly to demand supplies from the Three-Eyed Clan.

Usually, only a few individuals acted sporadically; such a large-scale operation had never occurred.

"Everyone, stay alert!"

"No matter what their objective is, we must not let a single one escape!"

The captain shook his throbbing head and shouted loudly... Just then.

Among the crowd, a figure in a black combat suit was intently watching the corpses.

He quietly conjured the ten thousand souls banner in his hand.

Several faint phantoms emerged from the corpses, silently merging into the banner.

"What a pity..."

Xia Fei muttered to himself.

He only absorbed the Souls of those who had just died; those who had passed earlier had long since had their Souls dissipate.

Originally, he had planned to enter the Otherworld Battlefield after advancing to Rank 5 and making thorough preparations.

But now, with the date of the competition approaching, that fellow Wang Defa had gone to the Otherworld Battlefield.

This forced him to change his plans and enter earlier.

"Alright then, I'll Breakthrough to Rank 5 on the battlefield..."

A flicker of excitement flashed in Xia Fei's eyes.

The battlefield was his favorite place.

There, fighting occurred constantly, with countless Souls waiting for him to harvest.

As long as no accidents occurred, his strength would snowball, growing larger and larger until it crushed everything!

"Lin Xingyu, you're only temporarily ahead..."

Xia Fei gripped the ten thousand souls banner in his hand, feeling the fluctuations emanating from it, and a fierce Battle Intent surged within him... Meanwhile, in another location, in the Inner World.

The spoils of war had piled up into a small mountain, with various colors of light interweaving and shimmering.

The goblins were busy shuttling between piles of loot, classifying and organizing them, their excited chirps endless.

Mechs rumbled past, transporting the organized supplies to the warehouse.

Lin Xingyu stood nearby, his gaze sweeping over the unknown items, checking their information one by one.

"My Lord!"

Chen Jiu strode over, his face unable to conceal his excitement.

This time, Lin Xingyu had brought back another batch of captives, all of whom would be future soldiers for the Thousand Flow Legion.

Since becoming Legion Commander, Chen Jiu's loyalty had reached 100, making him a devoted follower.

"These captives are entrusted to you."

Lin Xingyu nodded, pointing at the unconscious people on the ground.

"Yes, My Lord!"

Chen Jiu responded, and with a wave of his hand, the soldiers behind him immediately stepped forward and escorted the captives away.

Subsequently, Lin Xingyu's gaze fell upon the unconscious white-haired elder.

The information panel then appeared:

【Marquis Gu Lei】

【Rank: Peak Rank 7 Nine Stars】

【spirit seed: Crystal Shield (S-Rank)】

...【Introduction: Deacon of the Dark Ruins Black Market Vast Sea City branch, skilled in defense.】

This Marquis-level Expert was an unexpected gain from their operation.

Currently, he had his eyes tightly closed, and a blue rune flickered between his brows.

That was a Mental Imprint left by Phantom Sea King, ensuring he remained suppressed.

"Phantom Sea, can you enslave him?"

Lin Xingyu closed the information panel and turned to look at Phantom Sea King beside him.

A Marquis-level Expert was very useful.

"Reporting to My Lord, yes, I can."

Phantom Sea King bowed slightly.

"With my current Mental Energy, I can maintain effective control over a maximum of five Marquises."

"If this number is exceeded, stability will significantly decrease, and there is a risk of backlash."

Lin Xingyu nodded thoughtfully upon hearing this.

"Begin."

Five was enough.

These Advanced enforcers were of great help to everyone at the moment.

But only temporarily.

As time passed, their own strength would rapidly increase, and by then... "As My Lord commands!"

Phantom Sea King took a step forward, his eyes erupting with brilliant light, countless runes swirling within them.

He raised his right hand, Mental Energy condensing at his fingertips, and slowly pointed towards Marquis Gu Lei's glabella.

Upon contact, Marquis Gu Lei's body trembled violently, his face showing signs of struggle.

Phantom Sea King remained expressionless, his Mental Energy surging like a torrent, forcefully breaking through the opponent's Sea of Consciousness... This process was far more complex than simple suppression.

After about half an hour, the blue light in Phantom Sea King's eyes gradually receded, and he withdrew his finger.

Marquis Gu Lei slowly opened his eyes:

"Your servant Gu Lei greets Master!"

...Three-Eyed Clan World, Wind Taming City.

In the hotel suite, the staff member approached Barron again.

This time, the expression on his face was much more complex, with less envy and more sympathy.

"Your Excellency Barron, the Formation in the Goshawk Secret Realm has been completed, and everything is ready."

"Please accompany me to the Secret Realm entrance immediately."

He paused, then continued:

"Due to a temporary situation on the Imperial Son's side, he will not be entering the Secret Realm."

"The important task of refining the secret realm core will still be carried out by you as the first in line..."

The staff member looked at Barron, a hint of regret in his eyes.

This fellow had rather bad luck.

He had originally thought he could make a fortune with the Imperial Son's reward.

Unexpectedly, the Imperial Son had encountered such an unforeseen change... In the Inner World.

Hidden Shadow's figure quietly appeared, informing Lin Xingyu of the Three-Eyed Clan's movements.

"It seems the other party hasn't suspected Barron."

Lin Xingyu breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

He estimated that the other party wouldn't have thought that the Imperial Son's disappearance would be related to Barron.

With a thought, he conjured an invisible window before him, clearly displaying Barron's perspective.

"The galloping mounts, the increasingly close Goshawk Secret Realm, and the surrounding Three-Eyed Clan guards..."

Lin Xingyu decided to monitor the entire process to respond to any emergencies at any time... After organizing the spoils of war, Wang Ledian and the others gathered around, curiously watching the scene in the window.

However, after watching for a while, they found it a bit boring.

"Brother Xingyu, are there any other activities?"

Wang Chiyao yawned and looked at Lin Xingyu.

"If you're bored, you can go wipe out the Withered Bone Mercenary Group."

Lin Xingyu smiled and casually opened the myriad worlds scroll.

He pinpointed the Withered Bone Mercenary Group's location and opened a teleportation gate.

They didn't have a Feng Wang Rank Expert guarding them, and now with Phantom Sea King present, there was no need to play hide-and-seek with them; directly annihilating them was the way to go...
