Chapter 170: The Ancient Forest, Douxing Great Forest!
🕑 Added 2024-10-03 07:56:12 +0000 UTC“We mean no harm,” one of the men said hastily, as if afraid that Lin Luoluo might misunderstand their intentions.
“We are warriors from the Dusian Sect,” another middle-aged man added respectfully. “We were wondering if you might be interested in joining our sect?”
The strength Lin Luoluo had displayed earlier was overwhelming, and while she was decisive in battle, she hadn’t killed indiscriminately.
“I killed the lord of Spey City,” Lin Luoluo said, her eyes narrowing as she observed them carefully.
“Our Dusian Sect isn’t afraid of the Dilong Empire,” one of the warriors responded proudly.
Lin Luoluo was slightly intrigued by his words. Not afraid of the Dilong Empire? It seemed that the Dusian Sect wasn’t based within the empire’s borders. Otherwise, no sect within the Dilong Empire would dare defy the empire's retribution so openly.
“I’m used to traveling alone,” Lin Luoluo shook her head. She had no interest in joining any sect.
“Farewell.”
As soon as the words left her mouth, her figure disappeared, leaving behind only a faint trace.
“She’s gone…” the group of Martial Masters exchanged glances and sighed.
Lin Luoluo was far too young, yet the combat prowess she had demonstrated was terrifying. Recruiting her would have been a tremendous gain for them.
What a pity.
...
Lin Luoluo had already left the area and was now making her way toward the heart of the Dilong Empire.
White Dragon Mountain was located on the empire’s outskirts, with major cities like Leibao City nearby. However, the true capital of the Dilong Empire, Dilong City, lay far from here.
“The Longkos Family…” Lin Luoluo’s expression darkened as a thought crossed her mind.
“The Longkos Family is the royal family of the Dilong Empire,” Ye Fan added. Over the past few days in the Dilong Empire, he had learned much about its inner workings.
“What is Lin Luoluo planning to do in the empire’s capital? Could it be… she intends to destroy the royal family?” Ye Fan speculated.
But Dilong City was home to numerous Martial Kings! Lin Luoluo’s current strength, though formidable, was still at the Martial Master level. It was too early for her to challenge the capital.
Just then, a deafening roar echoed through the sky.
A gigantic bird-like beast swooped down from above, its beak wide open, ready to tear Lin Luoluo apart.
Lin Luoluo showed no fear as she gazed at the massive beast. Holding her Soul Severing Sword, she slashed through the air, releasing a powerful wave of sword energy.
The overwhelming sword energy split the beast in two in an instant.
[Killed a Level Nine Beast, gained 9,000 Evolution Points]
As the beast’s blue blood splattered, it quickly flowed into the blade of the Soul Severing Sword.
[Absorbed Level Nine Beast's Blood Essence, gained 9 Energy Points]
[Absorbed Level Nine Beast's Blood Essence, gained 9 Energy Points]
...
As the sword absorbed more blood essence, it became even sharper.
Lin Luoluo then extracted a Level Nine Beast Crystal from the creature’s body. With a thought, she activated the Chaos Divine Art, quickly absorbing the crystal’s energy at a visible rate.
“This technique absorbs energy so quickly,” Ye Fan remarked in awe.
“From the name alone, you can tell the Chaos Divine Art isn’t an ordinary technique,” he added. Although Ye Fan couldn’t cultivate, he had memorized every technique practiced by the swordmasters who had wielded him, including this one. Over the years, he had accumulated a vast library of techniques in his mind. They might be useful someday.
“We’ve finally arrived.”
From the top of a hill, Lin Luoluo looked out over the vast expanse in the distance. Ahead lay an immense green forest, with towering peaks that seemed to touch the sky. The view was awe-inspiring.
“The trees are so tall, and this forest is bound to have incredibly powerful beasts,” Ye Fan observed. “There are probably plenty of Beast Kings here.”
“If that’s the case, I might be able to evolve to SS-Rank soon!”
The forest they had arrived at was the Douxing Great Forest, the largest, most dangerous, and most terrifying ancient forest in the Dilong Empire. Each year, countless high-level warriors ventured inside for training, but many never returned. Despite the dangers, the forest was rich in minerals and rare plants, attracting many who sought fortune or power.
After acquiring numerous martial skills and top-tier cultivation techniques in the secret realm, Lin Luoluo was now ready to aim for the Martial King level. The fastest way to increase her strength was by absorbing the Beast Crystals of high-level beasts.
Without hesitation, Lin Luoluo descended the hill, heading directly into the Douxing Great Forest.
...
“Silver Clan.”
“Name: Lin Luoluo. Approximately seventeen or eighteen years old. Killed over ten Martial Masters.”
“She also killed Spey City’s lord, Speytaray!”
“She was involved in the massacre of the city’s guards and the destruction of Spey City’s slave camp, where she freed numerous slaves and killed the camp’s Level Nine overseer.”
…
At the same time, news about Lin Luoluo was spreading rapidly throughout the Dilong Empire.
Lin Luoluo had become the most wanted criminal in the Dilong Empire.
Inside the lord’s manor of Spey City:
“What a pathetic waste,” Besnol snarled, his face twisted in anger.
“Imagine being killed by a mere girl.”
The massive man kneeling before Besnol spoke humbly, “Worry not, Commander. I will find that Silver Clan woman and retrieve that sword for you.”
“Do you think you can?” Besnol’s voice dripped with cold disdain. “She slaughtered over ten Martial Masters!” he roared.
