224: Chapter 224: Calling for Seniors

Inside the Wasteland Divine Domain, the devouring entered its final stage.

Lin Yuan did not linger for long.

After confirming that the mother tree's devouring progress was stable, he severed the connection, and his consciousness returned to reality.

Villa No. 079.

Lin Yuan opened his eyes and stood up from the futon.

He walked to the optical brain terminal, inserted the star key, and directly dialed Su Jin's communication code through the internal network of Starry Sky University.

A few seconds later, the communication was connected.

The holographic projection lit up in the center of the living room.

Su Jin was wearing a moon-white silk casual home outfit, leaning back in the sofa.

She was holding a cup of black tea in her hand, with wisps of hot steam rising, making that Face look even more noble and elegant.

"Lin Yuan?" Su Jin took a sip of the black tea, her voice gentle and warm. "How is the absorption of the heart of the world going? Did you encounter any difficulties with Law stripping?"

"Senior, I haven't had time to absorb the heart of the world yet." Lin Yuan stood straight. "My Divine Domain has been invaded."

Su Jin's hand holding the teacup paused in mid-air, and the smile in her eyes vanished.

"Who did it?" Su Jin spoke at a very fast pace. "How is your condition right now? Is the Divine Domain core damaged?"

"I'm fine, the Divine Domain is doing great." Lin Yuan reported truthfully. "The intruder is called Blood Crow."

"Blood Crow?" Su Jin frowned tightly, carefully searching her memory.

Soon, her eyes turned cold.

"That mad dog who defected to the Chaotic Star Domain and has been wanted by the military for ten years?"

Su Jin's expression sank. "He is already a Demigod of the Seventh Rank. This guy uses vicious methods and specifically targets geniuses from various universities."

She looked up and down at Lin Yuan in the holographic projection, seeing that he was safe and sound, and even his clothes were not messy, she breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"It's not bad that you managed to escape from his hands and still protect the Divine Domain core." Su Jin nodded in praise.

"It seems that your actual combat adaptability is even stronger than what Commander Xiao Lie boasted."

"However, since he dared to reach his hand into Starry Sky University, this matter is not over."

Looking at Su Jin's posture of getting ready to call people to hunt down Blood Crow, Lin Yuan said,

"Senior, I didn't run."

Su Jin was stunned.

"You didn't run?" She put down the teacup, her gaze filled with confusion. "What do you mean? Considering the Face of Starry Sky University, did he voluntarily retreat?"

"No." Lin Yuan cleared his throat. "I killed him."

As soon as these words were spoken,

Su Jin widened her beautiful eyes, staring closely into Lin Yuan's eyes, trying to find a trace of joking on this kid's Face.

Lin Yuan's expression was sincere and without a single ripple.

"Say that again?" Su Jin's voice raised a few decibels, and her noble and elegant temperament vanished completely.

"I killed him." Lin Yuan repeated, adding details along the way.

"He opened a Divine Domain channel to invade me, so I traced back along the channel and sneaked into his Divine Domain."

"I casually wiped out his Divine Domain and then slaughtered him."

Su Jin gasped a breath of cold air.

She felt that her common sense had been severely provoked.

Between the Sixth Rank Demigod and the Seventh Rank Demigod, there was an insurmountable chasm!

A Sixth Rank in front of a Seventh Rank was like a primitive man holding a wooden stick facing fully armed modern soldiers.

Moreover, Blood Crow was a desperate murderer who had fought his way out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.

"You... you reverse-invaded the Divine Domain of a Seventh Rank Demigod, and then annihilated him in his own home turf?" Su Jin's voice carried a hint of trembling.

"Yeah, that's right, exactly." Lin Yuan nodded.

Not only was he annihilated, but I also used the billions of people in his Divine Domain as fertilizer. Lin Yuan swallowed these words back into his stomach.

Su Jin took a few deep breaths, trying hard to calm her emotions.

She needed time to digest this overly absurd piece of information.

For any deity, hearing a freshman kill a veteran wanted criminal across ranks, the first reaction would definitely be that this kid had gone crazy.

But Lin Yuan was the person handpicked by Commander Xiao Lie, and he was standing alive right in front of her, so she couldn't help but believe it.

"You weren't injured?" Su Jin confirmed once more.

"No."

"How did you do it?" Su Jin couldn't help pressing for answers.

"My believers are a bit special, and they happen to restrain his blood-line Law." Lin Yuan spoke vaguely.

Su Jin was a smart person and knew that every deity had core secrets, so she stopped digging into the battle details.

"You just said that you wiped out his Divine Domain?" Su Jin grasped another key point.

"Just a matter of convenience."

"Then did you ask anything out of him before he died?" Su Jin pursued.

"A hyena like Blood Crow who wouldn't wake up early without profit wouldn't look for trouble with you for no reason. He was definitely hired by someone."

"I searched his soul." Lin Yuan replied.

Su Jin's just-calmed mood stirred up a tempest once again.

Killing across ranks was one thing, but soul-searching too? What kind of monster was this kid anyway!

"What did you search out?" Su Jin forcefully suppressed her shock and asked in a deep voice.

"A person named Chen Fu." Lin Yuan recounted the extracted memory images.

"Blood Crow called him Chen Fu. Chen Fu offered a price of one million cubic meters of pure Divine Power crystals, a living planet, and a Legacy of divine arts to buy my life."

"Chen Fu..." Su Jin muttered the name, the murderous intent in her eyes fully exposed.

"One million cubic meters of divine crystals, what a generous offer."

"This is definitely not a resource that an ordinary black market dealer can pull out; there must be a master behind him."

"There are no clues about his master in Blood Crow's memory." Lin Yuan spread his hands.

"That is enough." Su Jin sneered. "As long as there is a name and an appearance, even if he hides in a rat hole, I can dig him out."

As soon as her voice fell, Su Jin suddenly remembered something.

She stared suspiciously at Lin Yuan.

"That's not right." Su Jin narrowed her eyes. "Where is that epic-grade Divine Domain shielding card I gave you?"

"As long as it is pasted on the Divine Domain core, not to mention a Seventh Rank Demigod, even an old monster of the Eighth Rank Demigod would never dream of locking onto your coordinates in a short time!"

"How did Blood Crow accurately find you and directly open the channel?"

Facing the questioning, Lin Yuan's heart skipped a beat.

He couldn't possibly say that I felt keeping that card was just gathering dust,

and I hung it on the military's internal network to sell for 6.9 billion faith points, right?

If he really said that, this beautiful woman would probably crawl along the network cable to choke him to death.

"Well..." Lin Yuan's expression didn't change, his brain spinning at high speed. "Maybe the coordinates given by Chen Fu were too accurate."

"Or, does the master behind Chen Fu have some special deduction Divine Artifact that penetrated the defense of the shielding card?"

Lin Yuan talked nonsense with a straight Face.

Actually, it wasn't completely a lie.

To prevent Lin Yuan from calling people, Blood Crow had paid out of his own pocket to slap a layer of legendary-grade shielding card debris outside his Divine Domain.

That thing was much more Advanced than the epic-grade card Su Jin gave him.

Su Jin stared at Lin Yuan for a few seconds.

She always felt that this kid was not telling the truth.

But things like a shielding card being forcibly cracked were not without precedent in the Astral Realm.

Some ancient families indeed mastered incredible tracking methods.

"Anyway, your Divine Domain coordinates have been exposed." Su Jin's tone became stern.

She sat up straight and pointed at Lin Yuan like a disciplinary director.

"Do you know how dangerous you were this time?" Su Jin carried anger with her.

"Reverse invasion! Do you really think you are invincible in the world? If Blood Crow had desperately detonated his embryonic divine persona, you wouldn't even have ashes left now!"

Lin Yuan obediently lowered his head, with the appearance of humbly accepting teachings.

"Is that True God token I gave you just a decoration?" Su Jin became more angry as she spoke. "Why didn't you communicate with the token at the very first moment when you encountered danger?"

"Even if you just crushed it, I could have slapped Blood Crow into meat paste with a single palm!"

"The situation was urgent at the time, there wasn't time." Lin Yuan defended softly.

"Still daring to talk back!" Su Jin glared.

Lin Yuan immediately shut his mouth.

He wasn't stupid.

At this time, when Senior got angry, obediently admitting defeat was the optimal solution.

Looking at Lin Yuan's well-behaved appearance, the anger in Su Jin's heart mostly dissipated.

What she felt more was lingering fear.

Lin Yuan was the leader of the vanguard army and a core seed of Starry Sky University.

If he were really killed by a wanted criminal right under her nose, how could she account for it to Commander Xiao Lie?

"Alright, stop pretending to be pitiful." Su Jin sighed, her tone turning gentle again.

"Consider yourself lucky this time. But next time, you are absolutely not allowed to be so impulsive again."

"When you encounter trouble you can't solve, summon me immediately. Did you hear me?"

"I heard you." Lin Yuan nodded like pounding garlic.

As for whether he would listen or not, that was another story.

With his route of supporting war with war, if he called for people every time he fought, how could he make a fortune?

Seeing him agree so readily, Su Jin nodded with satisfaction.

"Leave Chen Fu's matter to me. These few days I will mobilize all resources to investigate."

Su Jin's expression was solemn. "Compared to dragging out the mastermind behind the scenes, I am more worried about your safety."

She paused and continued, "A bounty of one million cubic meters of divine crystals is enough to make those desperate criminals in the underground world go crazy."

"Blood Crow is just the first, definitely not the last."

"Since your coordinates have already been exposed, various trivial cats and dogs will definitely come looking for you next."

"Regarding the Divine Domain, you must maintain absolute vigilance. Once you discover abnormal spatial fluctuations, notify me immediately."

"Don't try to tough it out on your own anymore, understand?"

"Understood." Lin Yuan promised solemnly.

The communication hung up, and the holographic projection dissipated.

Lin Yuan let out a long breath.

Sometimes, dealing with Senior's care was even more tiring than having a fight.
