Global Lords: My Species Can Mutate

Chapter 165: Chapter 164: Infiltration, Power of Rule

“Crack!”

A crisp sound echoed in the ears of all the lords near Black Water Lake.

After over twenty minutes of battle, the space rift connecting the Primordial Realm and the Primordial Evil Realm finally couldn’t hold up and began to slowly shrink.

The face of the Undead Lord in the sky darkened as he looked toward the Tier Nine Lord in front of him.

“Consider yourselves lucky today, I’ll let you go for now! Retreat!”

With a loud shout, he rode away on the Undead Bone Dragon, flying straight toward the nearest rift.

Meanwhile, the lords of the Primordial Evil Realm engaged in the melee below received the order and retreated while fighting, hastily fleeing toward the rift that was already half-shrunk.

“Want to run? Leave your life here!”

The Tier Nine Lord naturally wouldn’t let them off so easily, and flames burst forth from the Fire Simurgh Bird beside him, transforming into massive meteors that rained down from the sky, exploding around the rift.

In an instant, all the rifts were engulfed in a sea of fire, and even above Black Water Lake, flames raged.

The Primordial Evil Realm lords and skeletons who failed to escape were instantly burned to ashes.

Following a thunderous boom, the rift completely collapsed, turning into a void and ripping apart several trailing Undead Bone Dragons, reducing them to piles of broken bones.

But unfortunately, they didn’t manage to capture the Undead Lord.

After all, the higher the lord’s tier, the more difficult they are to kill.

The other party was intent on fleeing, making it extremely hard to kill him.

However, the good news was that nearly seventy percent of the Primordial Evil Realm lords who followed the Undead Army in the attack were extinguished, heavily impacting the Primordial Evil Realm.

Once all the remnants were cleared away, a large cheer erupted from the shores of Black Water Lake.

[Congratulations, you’ve successfully repelled the Primordial Evil Realm’s invasion and received 3,000 Honor Points.]

Lin You stood amidst a large array of corpses, elated by the notification echoing in his mind.

In this skirmish, he had killed a total of twelve Tier Six Lords.

Cumulatively, he had amassed 15,000 points, and adding what he already had, as well as pending tasks, he had just reached 20,000 points.

He was one step closer to exchanging for the teleportation array blueprint.

He couldn’t help but think, if only the Primordial Evil Realm invaded a few more times.

That said,

This invasion from the Primordial Evil Realm seemed rather peculiar.

Knowing the proximity of Black Water Lake to the main city was tactically disadvantageous, yet opening a space rift here, wasn’t that just asking to die?

Something felt off…

Lin You’s brows furrowed, sensing that there was another motive behind this invasion.

However, before he could ponder further, a figure stepped in front of him, obstructing his view.

Perplexed, Lin You looked up at the newcomer and was immediately stunned.

Standing before him was a woman in red armor, with a confident, radiant aura, gripping the sword at her waist.

She had arrived with two Tier Seven Blazing Angels and was staring intently at him.

Before he could speak, she suddenly said, “Was it you who took our resources just now?”

At this moment, Ji Yunshuang was almost certain that the person who had taken their resources was this man before her.

Whether it was the species or the strength, this man matched all the information she had, and he conveniently happened to be nearby.

It couldn’t be wrong!

Lin You, upon hearing her accusation, was inwardly shocked yet surprised.

He hadn’t expected her to find him so quickly.

Did he expose himself when leaving the canyon?

He hadn’t seen the faces of those in the canyon, so he didn’t recognize Ji Yunshuang.

But since she had already come to him, he couldn’t possibly admit to anything.

He calmly replied, “What resources? I just got here, don’t make false accusations.”

He put on a face like an unbothered scoundrel.

Seeing his expression, Ji Yunshuang paused, “You!”

True, she had no direct evidence that it was Lin You.

Besides, she didn’t come just to pick a fight.

Taking a deep breath, she continued, “If you don’t want to admit it, fine, I actually came here because…”

However, before she could finish, a shout interrupted from afar.

“My lord! We’ve found a suspicious individual in the nearby forest!”

From the forest’s edge, a group of soldiers approached rapidly, dragging a barely alive man toward the Tier Nine Lord near the lake.

Lin You and Ji Yunshuang, who happened to be close by, curiously turned their gazes.

They saw the nearly lifeless man covered in blood, wounds all over his body.

He had clearly just been through an intense battle.

The Tier Nine Lord, who was instructing his subordinates, was drawn by the shout.

“Hmm?”

Suddenly, he noticed something unusual about the man and quickly approached the soldiers, pulling off the man’s robe covered in strange patterns.

In the next second, a familiar sense of repulsion suddenly appeared.

This is… someone from the Primordial Evil Realm!

Everyone around was shocked.

They hadn’t expected someone from the Primordial Evil Realm to know how to conceal their presence like this.

Could they be trying to infiltrate the Primordial Realm using such a method?

“Where did you find him?”

The Tier Nine Lord asked grimly.

“In the forest over there,” a soldier respectfully replied.

“At first, he seemed suspicious, so we approached to question him, but he suddenly attacked, severely injuring some of our comrades. Luckily, other lords arrived, and we managed to capture him.”

“Good, well done. Anything else?” the Tier Nine Lord asked further.

“And this,”

the soldier pulled a gray crystal from his bosom.

The crystal was small, fitting easily in a palm, but strangely, as it appeared, the surrounding space began to distort.

Inside the crystal, a black core-like object churned intensely, as if it sought to swallow everything around it.

The sight of this crystal made the Tier Nine Lord shudder.

“Is this…”

“The Power of Rule!”

A sudden exclamation came from beside him.

It was Ji Yunshuang, standing to the side.

She, too, was stunned, recognizing the crystal the soldier held.

The Tier Nine Lord, intrigued, glanced at her, “Young lady, you know of the Power of Rule?”

“A little,” Ji Yunshuang nodded solemnly, “I’ve seen my father use this power before.”

Upon hearing this, the Tier Nine Lord’s expression changed dramatically, “Oh, the Daughter of the King, it’s an honor to meet you.”

Only those at Tier Ten and above could wield the Power of Rule.

Though just a step away from Tier Ten himself, it was a daunting gap, so he dared not show any disrespect toward Ji Yunshuang.

Not to mention Lin You, who was utterly astonished.

The person seeking him out for the stolen resources was the Daughter of the King?

Had he really taken the resources from the Daughter of the King?

No, he needed to get out of here fast!

Lin You thought, readying to mount the Demon King Dragon to leave.

However, the ensuing conversation stopped him in his tracks.
