Chapter 669 - 663: Personnel Registry
"Who!?"
The man was shocked, looking around in panic.
At this moment, he was in a state of Wind Concealment, logically speaking, no one should have been able to detect his movements.
Unless the individual’s power level was at Level 5 Quasi-God or higher, or...
Thinking of this, the man’s pupils contracted, almost immediately retreating swiftly towards the outside of the manor.
"Boom——"
But just then, a loud explosion resounded.
From the ground around the entire manor, a large swathe of varying sizes of vines burst forth, encircling the entire manor.
On the branches of the World Tree, pea-shaped heads emerged along with dense blue rose thorns, spreading outward, even unseen was the main plant form.
"Damn it!"
Seeing this, the man immediately understood he had fallen into an ambush.
He was utterly puzzled.
He had just arrived at the Demon Suppression City; how could the other party have known in advance and set a trap here?
Without time to think further, he quickly summoned a large group of Legendary Level Five Elements Elemental Species, rushing straight towards the outside of the manor.
Yet what welcomed him was an environment in tumult; the manor before his eyes gradually transformed into a blue garden, strange thorns filling the surroundings.
It was precisely the Illusion Realm skill of the Extraordinary Level Deep Blue Dream!
Though both were Level 2 Quasi-God, how could the man’s Legendary attributes match those of the Extraordinary Level?
Under the powerful suppression of spiritual attributes, he was instantly affected, trapped in an illusion.
"Burn them all for me!"
The man didn’t panic, yelling mightily, as flames erupted from the Fire Element Venerable species beside him.
Transforming into a flame tornado under the Wind Venerable Species’ gale, incinerating all surrounding thorns, he finally broke free of the illusion.
The Earth Element on the periphery then deployed a Rock Shield, blocking the Pea Shooter from above.
However, no matter how he attacked, the vines and thorns in the manor continuously multiplied, relentlessly enclosing them from all directions like terrifying serpents.
Just at this moment.
On the periphery of the encirclement, a sun and a crescent moon gradually rose, their white and black light blossoming fiercely, encompassing all elemental species within.
"What’s happening!?"
The man cried out in shock, realizing that under the illumination of those lights, a scorching sensation invaded his body, fiercely searing through his flesh and organs.
Even more deadly.
The energy of all his species was visibly depleting, dwindling to less than half within moments, rendering them unable to activate any big skills.
Without skill support, the elemental species were instantly defeated, entangled by numerous vines, some being riddled by peas at their core, collapsing in heaps.
"Such terrifying skills!"
"What are these species!?"
"Please forgive me! I don’t mean to intrude here; please grant the Pantheon face!"
Seeing his side in utter collapse, the man finally panicked, hastily looking around and loudly pleading, even resorting to invoking the name of the Pantheon.
Though how could he have known, Lin You’s target was indeed the Pantheon.
It would have been better if he hadn’t spoken.
By speaking, he merely provided Lin You a further reason to act.
The Barbaric Roar unleashed, all plant attributes rose sharply, finally breaching the man’s last line of defense.
The man, caught unawares, was thrown dozens of meters through the air, landing as he spat blood onto the ground.
A swarm of vines then surged forth, binding him tightly, pressing him into the earth.
The man struggled desperately, but injured as he was, he couldn’t escape the Cyan Rattan’s restraints, inevitably succumbing to tighter bonds, rendered immobile.
Only at this point did Lin You emerge from concealment, approaching the man.
"Intruding into my territory without permission, quite bold."
He gazed down, thoughtfully examining his opponent.
"Who the hell are you! How dare you oppose our Pantheon, are you not afraid of being hunted by us!"
The man screamed furiously, his bloodshot eyes glaring at Lin You.
But in the next instant, his head was forced back by vines, slamming into the ground, dazing him.
Taking this chance, Lin You scanned the fallen man’s and species corpses’ information.
He was surprised to find that between the same levels, one could not check the specific attributes and skills of the opponent.
Yet their basic information and level were visible, just like his opponent, both Level 2 Quasi-God.
As for the species, it showed their potential level, like the man’s, most were Legendary Level, strength ranking ordinary among the Tier Twelve.
"And this is already just an outer steward of the Pantheon?"
Lin You raised a brow and continued, "If you want to live, answer me promptly, or I won’t hesitate to feed you to my little darlings."
As his voice fell, Cannibal Flowers bearing sharp teeth encircled, and nearby vines with thorns moved ceaselessly.
Unexpectedly.
The man didn’t yield but instead sneered dismissively.
"It’s pointless; if I’m gone too long, stronger individuals will come soon. I advise you to release me, lest you face perpetual pursuit by our Pantheon!"
"Oh? Stronger individuals? You mean that fellow Zhou Fang?"
Earlier, Lin You had already heard Bai Shangting mention Zhou Fang.
And just now, he had sensed the other’s presence through Dandelion Seeds, so he wasn’t surprised.
"You know Steward Zhou?"
Seeing Lin You directly mention Zhou Fang’s name, the man couldn’t help but be startled.
But soon, his face darkened: "So what? Do you think your strength could rival Steward Zhou? I tell you, Steward Zhou’s species are all Extraordinary Level!"
Upon glancing up briefly, the man had already probed Lin You’s level, finding them both to be Level 2 Quasi-God.
Possessing such power, the species must be Extraordinary level, and there’s a very strong explosive ability, which led to his capture despite his mistakes.
Yet no matter that.
A mere Level 2 Quasi-God has formidable power, but it’s impossible to match Level 9 Quasi-Gods unless he possesses the legendary Royal Family Species.
But is that possible?
You need to know.
Even within the entire Pantheon, only the Hall Master possesses a Royal Family.
And there’s only one, which the Hall Master obtained at a great cost.
What can a Tier Twelve Lord use to fight against them?
This was also the reason for the man’s complacency.
He believed Lin You wouldn’t dare kill him, at most just threaten him.
"So there’s no Royal Family? I worried for nothing."
Pfft!
A calm voice, accompanied by a blooming spray of blood, simultaneously reached the man’s ears.
He widened his eyes, looking incredulously at the bloody vine piercing through his chest.
Finally, his vision went dark, and he completely lost consciousness.
Lin You looked in astonishment at the drained corpse, yet there was no notification of the kill, and even the divine format within him dispersed.
Killing a Lord yields no reward.
The rules of this world are indeed kind...
Just as Lin You was lamenting.
A faint light finally emerged over the man’s corpse.
Perhaps due to the host’s death, his personal space rapidly compressed, turning into a spherical crystal ball that fell to the ground.
Resource Sphere!
Lin You’s expression brightened, though Bai Shangting had mentioned it before, it was still surprising.
He immediately picked up the sphere and glanced at it, confirming it was something he was familiar with.
[Name: Resource Sphere]
[Level: Tier Twelve]
[Introduction: A storage space containing all the resources from the previous host’s personal space, disappears after use, granting the resources within.]
Killing a Lord allows you to obtain everything in their personal space directly.
Isn’t this just like looting a corpse?
Without hesitation, he promptly used the Resource Sphere in his hand.
[Congratulations, you have obtained the following resources:]
[Tier Twelve Law Crystal Stone x208]
[Tier Eleven Law Crystal Stone x345]
[Tier Ten Law Crystal Stone x764]
...
[Legendary Species Token Fragment (Random) x3]
[Third Hall Account Book x1]
[Personnel Registry x1]
[Candle x10]
[Leather Whip x1]
...
A multitude of strange items suddenly appeared in his personal space as the light shone brightly.
But what caught Lin You’s attention the most were the Law Crystal Stones and Token Fragments, even obtaining these was unexpected.
Except the quantity... was truly surprisingly low.
"Che, such a pauper."
He cursed quietly, quickly destroying and discarding the useless items.
Finally, amidst the pile, he found what he wanted, a registry with information on Pantheon personnel and an account book!
Yes.
His initial objective was precisely this.
People above Tier Twelve hold a significant position within the Pantheon, and there’s a high chance they carry related information.
Though it was risky to proceed this way, it was the quickest way to understand the internal structure of the Pantheon.
Luckily, he was fortunate enough to find what he wanted immediately after dealing with one person, and it was the vital Personnel Registry, making the effort worthwhile.
This was also why he specifically instructed Bai Shangting to say he was living in seclusion here.
This way, the Bai family could completely detach themselves from him.
After all, if a Tier Twelve wanted to live in seclusion here, a Tier Ten City Lord couldn’t interfere even if he wanted to.
Besides, not many had seen him, and even fewer knew him, so he could safely delve into the Pantheon for further intelligence.
After handling the scene and the corpse.
Lin You immediately went under the World Tree, extending his arm to bring the Territory Core and species into the Origin Universe.
Then, flipping onto the back of the Hidden Dragon.
"Let’s go, head to Wanshen City!"
Amidst gusting winds, the Hidden Dragon soared into the sky, flying southward.
Meanwhile.
In the City Lord’s Mansion reception hall, where a discussion was underway, Zhou Fang’s expression suddenly changed.
"Chen Tu is dead!"
"What? Steward Chen is dead!?"
Bai Shangting coordinated by standing up, his face showing shock.
Everyone below likewise widened their eyes, turning to look at Zhou Fang.
You need to know.
Chen Tu had the strength of a Level 2 Quasi-God, and he had just left a few minutes ago, and now he’s dead?
"Dare to kill a member of our Pantheon, what a bold move!"
Zhou Fang shouted angrily, transforming into a blur as he dashed out of the hall, mounting the Undead Bone Dragon and flying towards the north of the city at incredible speed.
