Global Lords: Me and My Calabash Kiddos

"So what? I live one day at a time—I’m not afraid to die. But you all will die before me."

Yi Tian’s mind was heavy, but his face wore a wide smile.

He wanted to develop in peace, to co-exist with other Lords.

But there were Lords greedy for his wealth, leaving him no chance!

If he let Feng Jingyun go, would things really end there?

Impossible!

The other top-level races would never give up on his wealth.

Since that’s the case, he might as well make enemies to the death and reap the rewards for himself.

"Despicable bastard, if you hadn’t ambushed us, you’d never have been a match for Lord Divine Son!" The employer screamed in rage when Yi Tian was unmoved.

"Bang!"

Yi Tian exerted force with his hand, smashing into the employer’s body and killing him instantly.

Looking at the employer’s eyes, wide open in death, Yi Tian said flatly, "It’s true I wasn’t a match for Feng Jingyun, but it’s winner takes all in the end!"

"Ah!"

At the moment the employer died, several indigenous people let out tragic screams, dragged to the grave with him because of the Lord Contract.

"Boom!"

The territory trembled violently.

Yi Tian watched as hundreds of square kilometers were compressed to just ten square kilometers.

The towering city walls were struck by a mysterious force, shattered on the spot, and many buildings fused together.

The territory’s mist vanished, and Yi Tian found himself on an open plain.

This was the initial territory, the mist now covering only ten square kilometers.

Inside the Sealed Celestial Dao Stone were space rules, creating its own space.

It could be understood that a Lord’s territory now had the potential to become a secret realm space.

The moment the mist vanished marked the genesis of countless new secret realm spaces.

"Run!"

The remaining three to four hundred members of the territory lost their loyalty in an instant as their Lord died.

"Dripping Water Carves Stone!"

Yi Tian would never allow them to escape and take valuable resources from the territory.

With another round of Dripping Water Carves Stone, he wiped out the majority of the indigenous people.

Relying on his wind-like speed, he cut down indigenous people one after another.

Half a quarter later, the battle was over.

Of the living, only Feng Jingyun remained, but he was in terrible shape now.

This was exactly the result Yi Tian wanted. He believed with Feng Jingyun’s constitution, dying wouldn’t be so easy.

He grabbed Feng Jingyun and started collecting loot from the territory.

Feng Jingyun’s SS-level Blade, the employer’s S-level Divine Weapon, along with some A-level and B-level Enchanted Weapons.

In the compressed city, Yi Tian found the warehouse.

Piles of wood, stone, and copper-iron materials.

Yi Tian only hated that his Storage Ring wasn’t bigger; he couldn’t take it all.

Mercenaries couldn’t use the Mercenary System, Auction House, or Chat System.

Invaders had Mist Scrolls, and those could be traded. Mercenaries could strip a territory down to the last hair.

So, Yi Tian only looked for the most valuable treasures.

"Orange Star Bead *7500."

Yi Tian hadn’t expected the employer had been collecting these. He happened to need a batch of Orange Star Beads.

Over a thousand various Beast Cores.

"Scripture Pavilion blueprint. Learn martial skills in the Scripture Pavilion—entry speed increased fivefold."

This could only be opened by a Venerable Treasure Chest and required top-grade wood and spirit-level stone; the employer likely couldn’t build it.

Yi Tian considered pushing the Little Kiddos to train martial skills with this building. As long as they reached entry level, then took Enlightenment Tea, their growth would skyrocket thanks to their potential.

Only this one blueprint; maybe the rest had been sold or already constructed.

"Wood Spirit Liquid, 35,000 drops."

This guy had only opened a Venerable Treasure Chest once and had actually pulled Wood Spirit Liquid.

Storing Wood Spirit Liquid was definitely a good habit.

Two drops of Celestial Dao Essence.

Five Stones of Ultimate Venerability, twenty-five Stones of the King, and forty diamonds.

Nothing else caught Yi Tian’s eye, besides some Spirit Flowers and Herbs.

SS-level Spirit Flower: five Heart-Connected Flowers, which heal the vital organs.

SS-level Spirit Herb: three Blood Dragon Ginsengs.

High-Level Spirit Wood: Ancient Willow Tree.

SSS-level Spirit Flower: four Thousand-Colored Clouds.

S-level Spirit Flower: ten; S-level Spirit Herb: eight; S-level Spirit Fruit Trees: three.

A-level Heavenly and Earthly Treasures: 17; B-level: 13.

All packed into the Storage Ring.

The rest of the Storage Ring was used for storing gold.

The employer’s territory had nearly fifty thousand units of gold.

Yi Tian’s Storage Ring was stuffed to the brim.

The rest of the materials had to be abandoned with some reluctance.

On second thought, the remaining resources weren’t worth much, which made Yi Tian feel better.

This spot—if another Lord or indigenous person passed by—might become their little encounter of fortune.

After another look around, Yi Tian grabbed the half-dead Feng Jingyun and teleported back to his own territory.

Back in his territory, Yi Tian felt absolutely invigorated, more satisfied than ever before.

"If the Celestial Dao Stone leaves a Lord for twenty-four hours, they lose indigenous status, the mist collapses, and they become like the indigenous people! Does that mean I can enslave him and turn him into a super henchman?"

"I don’t like Feng Jingyun, but if I can control him with a Lord Contract, now that’s real satisfaction! 5,500 Spiritual Power, Hei Tiaobai’s stats: 5,200+."

Yi Tian mused as he entered the special auction area to research related problems.

"It’s actually a thing!"

Yi Tian looked through the listings, pleasantly surprised.

Once a Lord loses their Celestial Dao Stone for twenty-four hours, they can be enslaved by another Lord.

Alternatively, some Lords abandon their Lord identity and use a Mist Scroll to escape to another territory and pledge loyalty.

After pledging loyalty, the Lord loses all their opportunities, and every function inside the Celestial Dao Stone is disabled forever.

Some speculate that now isn’t the time to join forces. When the time is right, an ordinary Lord could pledge to a powerful Lord and still keep their Celestial Dao Stone active.

"I’ll throw him in the Celestial Prison first. Once I break through, I’ll contract him." Yi Tian arranged a single cell for Feng Jingyun.

Yi Tian then extracted the Ice and Fire Qi from Feng Jingyun’s body.

Because of internal and external injuries, the guy was already unconscious, lips blue and face bloodless.

Yi Tian was a bit worried he might actually die!

Although Feng Jingyun was gravely injured, once the Ice and Fire Qi was gone, his powerful physique would heal quickly.

Yi Tian told Fire Dragon to keep a very close watch on Feng Jingyun, not letting him take a single step out of the cell.

In just over four hours that afternoon, Yi Tian completed 171 tasks in total.

He obtained 110 Level 1 Sealed Celestial Dao Stones, 72 Second-Level Sealed Celestial Dao Stones, and one Level 3 Sealed Celestial Dao Stone.

There was still one Level 3 Celestial Dao Stone from Feng Jingyun, not yet sealed.

The extra Sealed Celestial Dao Stones came from mercenaries slain during the invasion.

Mercenary task count: 2010, win rate: 100%.
