“Sir, who don’t we talk this out? I’ve heard about the grudge between you and Qin Xiuluo. All of this is the Black Demon Palace’s fault. However, Qin Xiuluo has already been killed. Why don’t you state your conditions so that we can discuss them?”
After a long silence, Shangguan Bai said in a deep voice as he looked at the darkness outside the hall.
Hearing this, Lin Wudao, who was hiding in the darkness, sneered coldly.
“Heh, talk it out? Previously, when your Black Demon Palace came to surround and kill us, did you speak nicely? If I hadn’t arrived in time, my subordinates and friends would have been killed long ago. For this, I must take revenge. Today, as long as you can hold on until dawn without the magic lamp, 1 will consider letting you live. Otherwise, we’ll leave it to fate…”
Boom!
Lin Wudao waved his hand in the darkness. A majestic cold wind suddenly swept through the surroundings and blew out a large number of magic lamps.
Immediately after, he shuttled all over the place and kept the extinguished magic lamps in the system space.
Seeing this, Shangguan Bai was shocked.
“Careful!”
Shangguan Bai shouted anxiously when he saw all the magic lamps suddenly go out and disappear.
However, it was all too late.
“Ah!” “All!” “Ah!”
The moment the magic lamps went out, darkness enveloped the land. Countless terrifying demons and evil things rushed out of the darkness like a tide and devoured the disciples of the Black Demon Palace.
Crack, crack, crack!
In the cold night, the sounds of demons gnawing and people screaming could be heard continuously.
It only took a moment before more than half of the members of the Black Demon Palace were dead.
Seeing this scene, Shangguan Bai was both furious and terrified.
Lin Wudao’s methods were too strange. He couldn’t find any clues at all!
Whoosh!
In a moment of desperation, he couldn’t care less about the others who were being devoured by the demons. He immediately grabbed a magic lamp as fast as he could.
His expression was highly alert.
Unfortunately, he had no idea how terrifying Lin Wudao was.
“Hmph, do you think that you can be safe and sound just because you have a magic lamp in your hand? You’re too naive!”
Suddenly, a cold sneer came from the darkness.
Boom!
The moment the voice fell, accompanied by an ancient and powerful killing intent, a tall undead knight riding a wild warhorse appeared in front of him.
Lin Wudao had consumed two thousand years of his lifespan, raising its battle prowess to the Divine Pedestal realm, all to deal with Shangguan Bai.
Whoosh!
Without any hesitation, the undead knight swung the greatsword in its hand and slashed over aggressively.
The terrifying sword energy tore through the air.
“A puppet? Divine Pedestal realm?”
Shangguan Bai frowned as he looked at the undead knight who had suddenly charged out of the darkness.
He couldn’t fathom what Lin Wudao was doing. Killing him with just a Divine Pedestal realm puppet? Wasn’t this underestimating him too much?
Thinking of this, Shangguan Bai harrumphed coldly, raised his hand, and struck out with his palm. The powerful force obliterated the oncoming sword energy.
However, just as he shattered the sword energy, the cold voice sounded from the darkness again.
“Pure Land of the Heavens!”
Rumble!
As soon as those words were said, Shangguan Bai immediately felt a mysterious force envelop him. Then, he was shocked to find that his cultivation had fallen by a major realm.
From the early stage of the Divine Wheel realm, he had fallen to the early stage of the Divine Pedestal realm.
“This… How is this possible?”
The sudden change scared Shangguan Bai out of his wits. He simply couldn’t comprehend what was happening.
Whoosh!
Just as he was in shock, the undead knight in front of him suddenly slashed out with its sword. In an instant, an incomparably sharp sword energy swept through the air and landed on his body.
“Ah!”
Painful screams resounded throughout the Black Demon Palace.
Bang!
Shangguan Bai was instantly sent flying by the undead knight’s powerful strength.
At the same time, the magic lamp in his hand was also forcefully sent flying.
Whoosh!
In an instant, he could clearly feel the boundless darkness enveloping him.
Moreover, in the cold darkness, there were streaks of bloodthirsty red lights, all extremely ferocious demons.
Seeing this, even though Shangguan Bai had the powerful cultivation of the Divine Wheel realm, he was still so scared that his scalp went numb.
Among the demons were terrifying existences in the Divine Wheel realm. With his current state of serious injuries, he would surely die if he was surrounded by demons.
Thinking of this, Shangguan Bai was so terrified that he immediately wanted to pick up the magic lamp on the ground to resist the attack of the demons.
However, Lin Wudao wouldn’t let him get his way.
Whoosh!
Just as Shangguan Bai’s palm touched the magic lamp, Lin Wudao was one step ahead of him and grabbed it.
“Dammit! No!”
Seeing the last remaining magic lamp being forcefully taken away by Lin Wudao, Shangguan Bai immediately let out a hoarse roar. His eyes were filled with endless fear and despair, as well as boundless anger and hatred.
The magic lamp was the life-saving straw in the darkness of the Land of Sins. Without them, all living beings below the True God realm would die in the mouth of demons.
Although Shangguan Bai was conceited, he did not have the courage to face the demons and evil things that were in the dark. That was not something he could withstand at all.
“Help! What exactly do you want? 1 can promise you anything!”
Seeing the demons getting closer, Shangguan Bai finally couldn’t suppress the panic and fear in his heart and roared crazily.
Hearing this, Lin Wudao smiled coldly.
“I want you to become my slave and serve me,” His emotionless voice was heard.
What was that? Become his slave?
Shangguan Bai’s eyes were full of humiliation and hatred.
“What, you don’t want to? Since you’re not satisfied with this condition, you can only die,” Lin Wudao said indifferently.
“No, no, no, I’m willing! As long as you can save me, I, Shangguan Bai, am willing to be your slave. From now on, I will be at your beck and call, and I will recognize you as my master forever!”
Under the threat of death, Shangguan Bai shouted anxiously.
Compared to death, he chose to continue living.
“Very well. In that case, I will give you a chance.”
Whoosh!
As the voice rang out, a magic lamp suddenly lit up beside Shangguan Bai, dispelling the cold and dark demons.
At the same time, a slave contract mark flew out of Lin Wudao’s hand and landed between Shangguan Bai’s eyebrows, becoming deeply imprinted on the latter’s soul.
An untamed villain like him could only be tamed by shattering his pride and trampling on his dignity and face. Otherwise, there would be a day when the other party would rebel.
Lin Wudao’s strategy was to let Shangguan Bai experience the fear of death first, and then pull him back from the edge of death so that he would be in awe of him.
“How does it feel to face death?” “I…” “I am the City of Sin’s City Lord, Lin Wudao. From now on, you are my slave. As long as you are loyal to me, you will have opportunities and fortune in the future.”
His calm voice slowly rang out.
After saying that, Lin Wudao flicked his finger and lit up the nearby magic lamps. Then, he strode into the Black Demon Hall.
Shangguan Bai kneeled on the ground with mixed feelings. His expression was one of panic, sorrow, and helplessness.
Lin Wudao ignored him.
“Bring me all the resources that your Black Demon Palace has collected over the years.” “Yes, sir.”
Shangguan Bai bowed in agreement.
Soon after, he went to the treasury as fast as he could and took all the resources of the Black Demon Palace.
A total of 120,000 demon stones.
Lin Wudao frowned as he looked at the items.
“The Black Demon Palace only has demon stones as their resources?” “Yes.” “How about treasures? Or natural treasures? None of them?” “No.”
Shangguan Bai shook his head.
“The Land of Sins is corroded by endless evil and demonic aura. It can’t produce any natural treasures at all. Other than demon stones, there’s nothing else. This is because those who were exiled to the Land of Sins with the intention of making them die here,” Shangguan Bai explained.
Although Lin Wudao was a little disappointed, he could only accept it.
“Alright, you may leave. Oh right, go to the Madman’s Pavilion and the Killing God Inn and invite the true rulers of those two factions over. Bring all their resources while you’re at it.” “Yes, sir.”
Shangguan Bai’s heart trembled. Lin Wudao’s actions clearly showed that he wasn’t going to let any of the factions in the Land of Sins off.
Although he felt helpless, he did not dare to disobey.
He left the Black Demon Palace respectfully and quickly headed toward the Madman’s Pavilion and the Killing God Inn.
After he left, Lin Wudao’s gaze fell on the demon stones in front of him.
The grades of these demon stones were uneven. Although they contained power, they were mixed with a strong demonic aura, as such, they could not be directly refined and absorbed.
“System, how much Fate Energy value is a demon stone worth after it is sacrificed?” [Level-1 demon stones, worth loo.] [Level-2 demon stones, worth 300.] [Level 3 demon stones, worth 500.]
The system stated the prices.
Lin Wudao frowned hard.
“A level-1 demon stone can only be nurtured by a Divine Mansion realm demon, but it’s actually only worth 100 Fate Energy value?” [Demon stones are useless.] [If it weren’t for the small amount of spiritual energy contained in it, it wouldn’t even be worth 100 Fate Energy value.]
The system replied.
Hearing this, Lin Wudao frowned even more.
“Sigh, sacrifice them all.”
Although he was very disappointed, it was useless to keep so many demon stones. Being able to exchange them for some Fate Energy value was already good enough.
In addition to the demon stones he had won from Qin Xiuluo, he had a total of 150,000 demon stones.
[Ding!] [You have sacrificed 148,536 level-1 demon stones and 2,348 level-2 demon stones. You have received a total of 15558000 Fate Energy value.]
[Name: Lin Wudao] [Cultivation: Mid-stage of the Heavenly Nirvana realm] [Lifespan: 4,214] [Fate Energy value: 40,008,000]
New information appeared.
After reading it, Lin Wudao simply shook his head..
