Chapter 180 - 179: Ready to Strike
Chapter 180: Chapter 179: Ready to Strike
In the following days, Lin You spent his time between the main city and his territory.
Either hunting demons outside, or tracking the Lords of the Primordial Evil Realm.
Or staying in the trade exchange, watching if anyone continued selling Territory Essence.
Unfortunately,
Five days passed without a second piece of Territory Essence appearing in the exchange.
It seemed unlikely to gather enough materials to upgrade species through this method.
He had no choice but to hit the streets, searching for other avenues.
“Quick, quick, quick! They’re fighting again over in the neutral area!”
“It’s said that many Lords from the Primordial Evil Realm have come this time, boasting they’ll crush us.”
“Crush us? That’s way too arrogant! Who gave them the nerve!”
“Anyway, let’s hurry over to support them first.”
Suddenly, nearby voices caught Lin You’s attention, filled with anxiety, as he turned to look with astonishment.
So soon another conflict in the neutral area?
If he remembered correctly, this would be the third time in recent days—a surprise to see it happening again.
It seems tensions between the two worlds are exceptionally intense.
Luckily for him, while fretting over finding Territory Essence, the opportunity came to him, and how could he waste it?
Without hesitation, he followed the hurried Lords to head outside the city.
After spending over an hour traveling, he arrived at the neutral area.
Indeed, he saw two factions confronting each other from afar at the border of the intertwined realms, with numbers several times larger than before!
Looking around, he saw dark masses of Lords and species, with several Tier Seven Lords mixed among them.
Yet none rushed into action, but kept gathering forces, awaiting the perfect timing.
Lin You followed other Lords to the rear, curiously observing the surroundings.
“Look quickly! That seems to be Xiao Chong, the top Tier Six from Dragon Soaring Empire—didn’t expect even he came!”
“And there’s Yang Wanqing from Wind Snow Empire—rumored she reached Tier Seven level long ago but remained in Tier Six.”
“Hey, isn’t that He Yinghuan from Xia Shang Kingdom?”
The voices of surprise echoed through the crowd.
Lin You stood in a corner, listening to their discussions with slight amazement.
Among the Lords gathered came so many talented figures, tensions between the worlds were more exaggerated than he imagined.
But this was favorable; the fiercer their battles, the easier it was for him to gain profit, even sneak attacks on Tier Seven Lords amidst the chaos weren’t impossible.
“Lin You? Why are you here?”
Suddenly, a call came from the side.
In the crowd, Ji Yunshuang in a red robe appeared with her team, walking toward Lin You with surprise.
Her call also drew the attention of nearby Lords, who all turned their eyes toward Lin You.
“Did you hear that? Seems he’s called Lin You?”
“Lin You? Is he the Plant Lord who once embarrassed the Primordial Evil Realm?”
“Seems so! Look at his species beside him, aren’t they Plant Type?”
“Whoa, they really are! Didn’t expect even him to show up.”
The Lords murmured among themselves, faces filled with shock.
Lin You looked at Ji Yunshuang approaching him, equally surprised.
“Why are you here? Your father agreed to let you come to such a dangerous place?”
“If you can come, why can’t I?” Ji Yunshuang rolled her eyes at him.
Though familiar with Lin You from these days’ interactions, any words he spoke drove her to anger.
What did he mean by a dangerous place she shouldn’t come?
If he can come, shouldn’t she be able to?
Ji Yunshuang felt belittled, her displeasure toward Lin You growing.
Her fiery expression instantly surprised her teammates, for it was their first time seeing Ji Yunshuang show such a face.
But Lin You quickly interrupted them.
“I didn’t say you couldn’t come, it’s just that it’ll be dangerous later, so be careful.”
Lin You held no special feelings toward Ji Yunshuang.
At most, he considered her valuable as someone from the same Duchy who helped him, hence, he couldn’t resist reminding her.
“Rest assured, my father gave me many life-saving items, not easy to die—how about you, want to join us later?” Ji Yunshuang extended an invitation to Lin You.
Lin You pondered briefly, then glanced at Ji Yunshuang’s Angel Species, nodding: “Sure, working together during chaos provides mutual support.”
In truth, he was eyeing the Angel Species’ buffs and purification…
Of course, he wouldn’t express this, but continued: “I came to find a chance to ambush the Tier Sevens and collect Territory Essence, might be risky.”
“You’re also targeting those Tier Sevens?” Ji Yunshuang asked in surprise.
“Why? Are you too?” Lin You redirected his gaze.
“Of course, who’d refuse more Territory Essence? Plus killing Tier Sevens grants species experience—why decline?”
“Oh…”
Lin You’s expression cleared.
He forgot that other Lords needed to defeat demons or Lords of the same level to upgrade species.
Two thousand five experience points isn’t a small figure.
He gained it during the last Beast Tide, elevating Cyan Rattan’s experience to over one thousand, encountering this many Tier Sevens rarely.
“Let’s discuss strategy first, to avoid chaos later.”
Thus, Lin You joined Ji Yunshuang and her teammates, planning their upcoming approach.
Until noon arrived when two suns were about to align.
Every Lord suddenly grew tense.
“Here they come, noon is when space is most stable!”
Ji Yunshuang warned, immediately summoning her Angel Species, her expression fiercer than ever.
Indeed,
Her voice barely finished before leading Tier Sevens on both sides roared out.
“Charge!”
“Kill them!”
“Kill!!”
In an instant, both factions charged like torrents crashing into each other amidst feverish shouts.
What was once neat battle lines became chaos in the blink of an eye, attacks flying everywhere, with all Lords and species frantically clashing!
“Let’s go, we’re joining in.”
Lin You waved his hand, summoning a swarm of plants.
The sheer number startled Ji Yunshuang’s teammates briefly, but they soon reacted, each summoning their species.
“Wind Dance!”
One Elemental Lord uttered softly among them.
Nearby Tier Seven Wind Elements emitted a breeze, shrouding all species around, instantly enhancing their speed.
At the same time, another Lord’s Rock Turtle glowed earthy-yellow, covering the surrounding species with protective auras.
In an instant, the whole team’s strength ascended to a new level.
Indeed, Ji Yunshuang had no ordinary teammates, with most species reaching Tier Seven, only a few in Tier Six.
Under dual enhancements, the summoned species rushed toward the battle line.
Led by thick-skinned Ancient War Trees and Rock Turtles, they directly activated skills, charging fiercely at the Primordial Evil Realm forces in the distance!
