Lawful Tyrant

Chapter 351 The Blood Sea Marquis's Decision

The smell of blood gradually dissipated.

In the deathly silence, all the lords and their subordinates present stared at the scene in near-dumbfounded disbelief.

Just moments ago, the arrogant and domineering Flame Blood Lord was already dead and his soul had vanished.
This unexpected reversal of events left everyone stunned.

Even if this young man could fight Yan Xuebo to a standstill, no matter how shocked they were, they could barely accept it.

But... what does this mean?
Instant annihilation?

No matter how sophisticated a soul attack is, when it is performed by a low-level chaotic being, its effectiveness will be greatly reduced when facing the soul nurtured by the powerful divine body of a high-level chaotic being!

And this young man named Qin Lin actually managed to annihilate the soul of Flameblood Earl before he even had time to admit defeat?
Incredible.

"Lord Fushan".

After Lin Qing put away Yan Xuebo's belongings, he turned to Fu Shanbo and said, "Yan Xuebo is dead. How should his territory be divided?"

Floating Mountain Earl was taken aback before coming to his senses. After a moment of silence, he said, "According to the rules, the victor receives the territory of the dead, and the territories are redistributed after the next Lord's War."

Lin Qing nodded slightly and said, "My challenge is over."

"Is it over?" Floating Mountain Earl said, "Now that Flame Blood Earl is dead, you were ranked first in the subordinate ranking battle, and second in the lord battle, so I am still ranked first in the final ranking."

"No need," Lin said casually. "Earl Flameblood has a weak will and obvious flaws, which is why I was able to deal with him. But I know I am no match for Earl Floating Mountain, so there's no need to waste time. Second place, I suppose Earl Qishui is already satisfied?"

As he spoke, he also turned to look at the Duke of Qishui, who had just regained his composure.

The Earl of Qishui immediately nodded and said, "This has far exceeded my expectations. If it weren't for Mr. Qin Lin, how could I, with my limited strength, be qualified to obtain the number one ranked territory? It is entirely up to Mr. Qin Lin to decide."

In fact, she now not only has her former territory, but also the territory of the Flameblood Earl. The combined value of these two territories is slightly higher than that of the Floating Mountain Earl's territory!

She used to be ranked eighth, so what is there to be dissatisfied about now?
not to mention……

Even if she wanted to win first place, it wasn't something she could decide. Now that she had witnessed Qin Lin's strength, she regretted setting such high conditions before and not cultivating a good relationship with him.

If she had known this beforehand, what would have been wrong of lending the Destiny Dice to the other party?
She'd even be willing to give it away!
This terrifying figure, who could annihilate a powerful figure like Flame Blood Lord even in the era of low-level chaotic beings, will be an even more terrifying existence once he becomes a high-level chaotic being.

If she were to become an eternal being, she would have secured an incredibly powerful patron!
"Fortunately, I was already inclined to befriend them..." Tianchuan Bo sighed inwardly, feeling increasingly satisfied with his decision at the time.

The other higher chaotic beings, however, had very mixed feelings.

"Since Mr. Qin Lin is so willing to give way, then I will accept your favor."

Floating Mountain Earl shook his head and smiled, then looked at the other lords and said, "Is there anyone else who is dissatisfied with the rankings and wants to come out and challenge?"

Seeing that none of the lords spoke, he nodded slightly and said, "In that case, let's end this ranking battle."

Lin Qing watched this scene from the side and couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

He was indeed not confident in dealing with Fushanbo.

After all, Fushanbo's will was on the same level as his, and it was even stronger. Even if he was afflicted by the Great Extinction of the Illusionary World, he would still have at least 20-30% or more of his strength.

Furthermore, Fushanbo is skilled in defense and suppression, so even if he unleashes his full power, he may not be able to defeat Fushanbo.

Moreover, he remembered that Uncle Fushan had tried to help him before.

"Young friend Qin Lin, will you have time to chat later?"

At this moment, Fushanbo's voice suddenly rang out.

Lin Qing immediately transmitted her voice and said, "Alright, let me finish talking with Uncle Qishui, and then we'll talk again."

……

……

Qishui Palace.

"Mr. Qin Lin, I am truly grateful to you this time."

Qi Shuibo looked at Lin Qing gratefully, then handed her a spatial crystal, saying, "This is the reward that Mr. Qin Lin deserves."

After taking it, Lin Qing sensed it briefly, raised an eyebrow slightly, and said, "According to the agreement, I helped Qi Shui Bo get second place in the ranking battle, so shouldn't he lend me the Destiny Dice for free for 38 million years?"

Within the void of this spatial crystal, not only is the Destiny Dice stored, but also 100,000 grains of cosmic sand and a black card printed with strange patterns.

"I never expected that Lord Yanxue would be killed."

Qi Shuibo shook his head slightly and said, "Originally, I thought that even if I was lucky enough to get second place, I would offend Yan Xuebo. Even if I got the benefits, I would also take the risks, so I didn't think about giving any reward. But now that Yan Xuebo has been killed, there is no need to worry."

She sighed, "Now that the territory of the Flameblood Earl belongs to me, and other lords are afraid of Mr. Qin Lin's presence, they will not dare to challenge me in the short term. I will definitely benefit from this territory for more than 38 million years. Mr. Qin Lin has done me such a great favor, so I can't be stingy anymore. If I had more cash on hand, I would think that 100,000 cosmic sands is not enough."

Lin Qing guessed that she was just making up an excuse to give away a little more, but he didn't expose her. He simply asked, "What is this black card?"

"A membership card for 'Chaos Trading Company'."

Qi Shuibo immediately explained, "There are still over a thousand points on this card. Consider it my way of making amends to Mr. Qin Lin. Please don't refuse."

"A membership card for 'Chaos Trading Company'?" Lin Qing looked at her in surprise.

The Chaos Merchant Guild is a super power that spans all transcendent civilizations of the human race. Whether it is buying or selling goods, they all originate from the endless chaos.

In the Chaos Merchant Guild, cosmic sand is not used as the common currency; instead, points accumulated within the guild are used.

As for how to obtain points?
Points can only be earned by exchanging various wondrous items from the Chaos!
You also need to spend points to buy various goods from the merchant.

It is said that even the ultimate beings buy or sell through the Chaos Merchant Guild, making it an extremely high-end platform.

"I've heard that only those who exist eternally can obtain a membership card to the Chaos Merchant Guild."

Lin Qing couldn't help but look at Qi Shuibo, "Among the high-level chaotic beings, only the most terrifying figures at the peak are likely to receive the Chaos Merchant Guild's advance favor. How come Qi Shuibo is among them?"

"A serendipitous encounter of mine," Qi Shuibo shook his head and said, "I once obtained a part of the relics of an eternal being, including this membership card of the Chaos Merchant Guild."

"The Duke of Qishui is actually willing to give it to me?" Lin Qing looked at her.

“My universe treasure has been cultivated to its limit, and I can’t afford to buy any other useful ones, so I only have points left.” Qi Shuibo shook his head and said, “With a genius like Mr. Qin Lin, he will definitely be favored by the Chaos Merchant Guild in the future and get a membership card in advance. I’m just adding icing on the cake.”

Lin Qing hesitated for a moment and said, "I do need this card. Once I get a new one, I'll return this one to you."

He wouldn't refuse a free benefit since he has a need for it.

“It’s alright, no need to rush,” Uncle Qishui said with a smile.

She wasn't afraid that Mr. Qin Lin would ask for too much; she was just afraid that he would be too arrogant and wouldn't care about the small favor she offered. If that happened, she wouldn't be able to build a good relationship with him.

As for those thousand-plus points?

That was the more than 1,000 points she had just earned by temporarily selling her collection of various chaotic treasures to the Chaos Merchant Guild, which was worth at least tens of thousands of cosmic sands.

Otherwise, who would have over a thousand points sitting on their card unused? Despite such a large investment, she felt it was worthwhile, only regretting that she didn't have enough wealth.

……

After leaving Qishui Palace, Lin Qing went directly to 'Fushan Residence' where Fiery Mountain Earl lived.

The Earl of Fushan immediately ordered a banquet to be prepared to entertain him, showing great hospitality.

"Mr. Qin Lin must have used the legendary secret technique of willpower to kill Flameblood Boss, right?"

Fu Shanbo put down his wine cup and exclaimed, "And it shouldn't be an ordinary willpower technique. It's truly astonishing."

"It's just an inheritance gained through a chance encounter." Lin Qing shook her head slightly.

It's normal that Fushanbo didn't recognize the 'Great Extinction of the Illusionary World', since the secret technique of will doesn't have any special fluctuations; it's just a burst of will.

Moreover, the secret arts of will can only be created by the most powerful figures among the eternal beings, and most of them are created by the ultimate beings. Ordinary high-level chaotic beings have never come into contact with them.

People like Xu Qingzhi and the Chaos Child of the Immortal Realm back then were easily recognized because they were connected to the ultimate beings.

Fu Shanbo couldn't help but ask, "Is Mr. Qin Lin, such an extraordinary figure, truly not a disciple of the Ultimate Being?"

Lin Qing shook her head and said, "I'd like to too, but it hasn't happened yet."

"Oh?" Uncle Fushan seemed to understand the subtext in Lin Qing's words, and immediately raised his wine glass and said with a smile, "Then good luck to Mr. Qin Lin."

Lin Qing nodded slightly.

"but……"

Fu Shanbo shook his head slightly and said, "Since Mr. Qin Lin has no background, it's best to be careful. That Marquis of the Blood Sea is always bloodthirsty and ruthless, treating human life as worthless. He kills as much as possible in every war, and he is really not easy to mess with."

Lin Qing pondered for a moment and said, "The Marquis of Blood Sea is, after all, a pinnacle figure among the eternal beings. Just because his disciple died in a life-or-death battle that followed the rules, does that mean he should bully the weak?"

“Logically speaking, no.” Uncle Fushan shook his head and said, “But I’m worried that once Marquis Xuehai learns of Mr. Qin Lin’s potential, he will want to eliminate him in advance.”

Lin Qing paused for a moment, then said, "It's alright, I'm already prepared."

He has a divine avatar, so he is destined not to die.

If the Marquis of Blood Sea were to come knocking and forcibly imprison him, it might displease His Majesty the Prince of Guang.

This is a period of testing set up for him by His Majesty the King of Light. If he is sealed off and unable to complete the test, His Majesty the King of Light may take action!

"It's good that Mr. Qin Lin is prepared."

Fu Shanbo nodded. "However, I heard that Mr. Qin Lin was willing to help Qi Shuibo in order to borrow the Destiny Dice in her possession?"

“Yes.” Lin Qing nodded slightly. “I am collecting some rare treasures that contain the power of future rules.”

Fu Shanbo asked thoughtfully, "Is Mr. Qin Lin cultivating the rules of the future?"

"Did Fushanbo actually see that?" Lin Qing asked in surprise.

Fu Shanbo sighed, “Because you have neither used the current rules nor the past rules, but you have always appeared very confident and self-assured, as if you had already decided on it. This makes people wonder if it is the future rule.”

Lin smiled and shook his head, saying, "Lord Fushan has a good eye."

Cultivators of the future rules are extremely rare, almost one in ten thousand in the early stages. Many advanced chaotic beings probably have never even come into contact with a few people who cultivate the future rules.

"Mr. Qin Lin is collecting rare treasures that contain the power of future rules, probably for cultivation purposes."

Fu Shanbo said, "I have a good friend on Tiancui Star who also possesses a rare treasure containing the rules of the future. Mr. Qin Lin, would you be interested?"

"Of course." Lin Qing's eyes lit up, and she asked, "Would Lord Fushan be willing to help me make the connection?"

"It's nothing," said Uncle Fushan. "If Mr. Qin Lin trusts me, I'll help him make the purchase. After I explain things to him, he will definitely try his best to sell it to me at a low price."

"This is troublesome." Lin Qing nodded slowly.

"Please wait a moment, I'll contact him on the Second Universe Network now."

As Fu Shanbo spoke, a wisp of his consciousness entered the Second Universe Network and began making contacts.

……

Above a vast sea of ​​blood hidden deep within time and space, a palace floats.

This is the legendary residence of the infamous Blood Sea Marquis.

"Oh?"

A handsome man, dressed entirely in white with an air of holiness, sat on a massive throne within the hall and murmured, "Snow Robe and Flame Blood are both dead? Killed by a lowly chaotic being?"
With a flick of his finger, he transformed the intelligence gathered by his subordinates into light and shadow, which appeared in mid-air.

The scene clearly showed Lin Qing fighting against the bald man in white robes and Yan Xuebo.

"A combination divine skill? A set of innate cosmic treasures? At least a second-generation bloodline?"

Marquis Xuehai glanced casually at the situation of the first battle and then paid no more attention to it.

While this level is considered excellent, it's not particularly outstanding compared to true geniuses. He had already encountered some even more extraordinary lower-level chaotic beings.

However, the scene of the second battle made Marquis Xuehai pause for a moment.

"A mental attack?"

Blood Sea Marquis stared at Lin Qing in the image, "Flame Blood's will is flawed, but even if this little guy has a will that can influence the River of Time, he shouldn't be able to destroy Flame Blood's consciousness so easily, right?"

He paused for a moment, then said, "It's most likely the Great Extinction of the Illusory World..."

After pondering for a while, Marquis Xuehai waved his sleeve, and the image floating in mid-air immediately vanished without a trace.

He immediately ordered, "There's no need to pay any more attention to this Qin Lin, nor to probe or investigate him anymore. Just pretend we never met."

A deep voice echoed in the hall: "Yes, Master."

Marquis Xuehai shook his head inwardly.

He was violent and bloodthirsty, and had even killed many eternal beings.

But the reason he has survived to this day despite his bloodthirstiness is because he knows who he can kill and who he should never provoke.

"Possibly a future rule, and also knowledgeable about the Great Extinction of the Illusory World?"

"Such a genius might catch the eye of His Majesty the King of Light. Even if he doesn't succeed now, he can still succeed after he achieves eternity..."

"If we seek revenge now, and it displeases His Majesty the Prince of Guang, then we're finished."

Marquis Xuehai shook his head slightly, "Forget it, it's just two disciples who died. There are still more than six hundred disciples at my disposal, so it won't affect anything..."
