The Great Overlord: Simulating the Future, Dominating Speedrunning

Chapter 66 The Battle Ends, Lin Jing Asks for Jade

"Pretend to be a ghost!"

Wu Tian looked at the fire lotus in Lu Chen's hand, his eyes revealing an unconcealable horror, but he still gritted his teeth and waved his hand.

Suddenly, the huge Blood Demon Spear that spanned the sky shot out violently, and finally turned into a dazzling blood light, bombarding Lu Chen!

Lu Chen smiled indifferently, threw the purple-gold fire lotus in his hand, and it suddenly spun at high speed, then disappeared in an instant. When it reappeared, it was already under the tip of the Blood Demon Spear, and collided fiercely with it.

Above the sky, two rays of light flashed by, leaving long trails of flame wherever they passed. Like a comet breaking through the sky, they collided with each other with a loud bang!
At the moment of collision, the entire world came to a brief standstill, and the clear sky darkened slightly.

boom!
The stagnation lasted for an instant, and two terrifying energies exploded violently in the sky. The entire space became extremely distorted at this moment, like a towel that had been twisted up with great force, with deep wrinkles appearing.

Click!

It only lasted for a few breaths before a crack began to spread on the Blood Demon's Spear. It then expanded rapidly and fell powerlessly from the sky, exploding into a sky full of brilliant light spots.

boom!
After the Blood Demon's Divine Spear exploded, a circle of energy storm mixed with two kinds of strange fire swept out at an extremely fast speed. The speed of this fire storm was extremely fast. In just a blink of an eye, it descended over the Blood Demon City.

"Pfft!"

Wherever the storm swept, those city lords at the supreme level were still able to flee in a panic.

However, the rest of the weaker Blood Eagle Guards were burned to ashes at the first contact, and turned into powder under the fire storm!
In the sky, when the fire storm passed by, all the city lords in the Blood Demon City fled in a panic. Their butts were like they were on fire, emitting black smoke and scattering madly.

After Wu Tian forcibly performed the blood sacrifice technique, his blood surged in his body and he immediately spat out a mouthful of blood. He looked at Lu Chen who was walking down from the sky with a look of despair on his face.

"Commander Wu, I appreciate your kindness."

Lu Chen strolled up to Wu Tian, ​​smiled slightly, and a Daluo Tianyan Sword appeared in his hand. Then a dazzling sword light flashed across, and Wu Tian's head slipped from his neck and rolled to the ground.

After dealing with Wu Tian, ​​Lu Chen looked at the city lords fleeing in the distance, smiled calmly, and said, "You can escape the monk, but you can't escape the temple. Where else can you run to?"

Immediately, it turned into a golden stream of light, rushed up, and chased towards the sky.

……

After half a month,
Jiuyou Palace.

At the highest point of the hall, Jiuyou was wearing armor, her black silk stockings like a waterfall, her slender legs straight. She sat high on the throne, overlooking the burly middle-aged man below.

Her red lips parted slightly, and suddenly a cold voice echoed throughout the hall.

"Luo Mang, are you sure you want to join my Jiuyou Palace?"

In the center of the hall, a burly middle-aged man kneeling on the ground nodded repeatedly and said anxiously, "Lord Jiuyou King, I, Luo Mang, was blind to your true potential. I shouldn't have listened to the slander of those guys in the Blood Eagle Hall and become your enemy."

"Now, after Commander Lu Chen's sincere teachings, I have come to my senses. I am truly loyal to our Jiuyou Palace!"

"As long as you accept me, if you tell me to go east, I will never go west. If you tell me to go west, I will never go east. No matter if it means climbing a mountain of swords or diving into a sea of ​​fire, just give me a command, and I, Lao Luo, will never complain!"

Jiuyou rolled his eyes upon hearing this and turned to look at the other people in the hall.

The two sisters of the Tang family looked at Luo Mang in the hall with disgust, whispering to each other, as if questioning the character of this guy.

Lu Chen sat on the stone chair with an indifferent look on his face, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.

Behind him, Lin Jing was serving him attentively, pinching his shoulders and rubbing his arms from time to time, and occasionally asking in a soft voice whether the strength was appropriate, just like a maid trying to please the master.

In the corner of the hall, a woman in white stood there. She was clearly there, but no one could detect her presence.

She stared at the scene intently, gritting her teeth and saying, "Just wait, you bastard! If you dare to enter the gate of my martial arts realm in the future, I'll make you pay!"

……

In the main hall,
Jiuyou looked around, sighed, coughed lightly, and said, "Everyone, what do you think?"

Hearing Jiuyou's question, the two Tang sisters immediately stopped discussing. They looked at each other, and Tang Bing was the first to speak: "Sister Jiuyou, I think this person is unacceptable."

"He was originally under the command of my Jiuyou Palace. Later, seeing the Blood Eagle Palace's strength, he defected to the Blood Eagle Palace. Now that he sees that we are strong, he wants to defect to us."

"This kind of slave with two surnames is unacceptable!"

Jiuyou nodded slightly and turned to look at Lu Chen beside him.

"Lu Chen, what do you think?"

Lu Chen waved his hand, and Lin Jing behind him immediately stopped moving. He rubbed his brows and said with an embarrassed look, "I think City Lord Luo is still useful."

"what?"

As soon as these words were spoken, both Lin Jing and the two sisters of the Tang family showed expressions of surprise. Even Jiuyou frowned, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

Lu Chen turned to look at Luo Mang and said calmly, "Lord Luo, please go back first. Our Palace Master needs to consider your surrender and will give you a reply in three days."

Upon hearing this, Luo Mang carefully raised his head and glanced at Jiuyou, only to see her waving at him.

He immediately understood and said, "Then you take your time to think about it. I, Lao Luo, will be leaving first. If you need me, you can always call me."

After saying that, Luo Mang stood up, bowed, said goodbye and left.

Seeing him leave the hall, Lu Chen looked at everyone and said, "I know that accepting Luo Mang may make some people in the Nine Nether Guards dissatisfied, but I think it is worth it."

"In the past two weeks, riding on the momentum of defeating Wu Tian, ​​we have recaptured fifty cities in a row, but not many cities have come to us for help."

"The reason is that the killing has been so intense over the past two weeks that those who wanted to surrender to our city lord are hesitant. They're afraid we'll remember the previous conflicts and kill them all." "In fact, we only kill those who have committed many evil deeds or those who are stubbornly resisting. We have always treated city lords who are willing to surrender voluntarily with preferential treatment."

"It's just that outsiders don't think so. In their eyes, we have been bloody butchers who kill without blinking an eye in the past half month, without any sense of reason. If we accept Luo Mang, a slave of two surnames, we will set an example for them."

"If you pay a fortune for horse bones, someone will naturally come to you."

"And what about those warriors in the Nine Nether Guards who fought so hard?"

"Before, those city lords relied on the prestige of the Blood Eagle Palace and inevitably bullied them."

Tang Bing said with an indignant look on his face.

"Add money!"

Lu Chen said calmly with a calm expression.

"Add money?"

Tang Bing asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"As the territory of my Jiuyou Palace has expanded, the salaries will naturally increase. All the tributes handed in by the city lords will be distributed to the brothers of the Jiuyou Guard."

"Compared to the old grudges, my own path of cultivation is more important."

"Only by keeping those city lords and letting them continue to shine and contribute their energy can our Jiuyou Palace grow faster. Training a qualified city lord from scratch is very time-consuming and resource-intensive. With the Great Hunt coming up, we don't have that much time."

Lu Chen sighed. Didn’t he also want to just kill, kill, kill?
However, if you want to become a super strong person in this vast world, it is necessary to cultivate a useful force.

Otherwise, if one reaches the Heavenly Supreme, the consumption of hundreds of millions of Supreme Spirit Liquid every year is not something that ordinary cultivators can afford.

Among all the supreme beings who are famous throughout the world, which one of them is not the leader of a force?

After listening to Lu Chen's explanation, everyone in Jiuyou Palace was silent.

Although I don't want to admit it, this guy really hits the nail on the head.

They in Jiuyou Palace don’t have that much time.

Finally, it was Jiuyou who made the final decision and said, "Then accept that Luo Mang. Tang Bing, you will make the arrangements."

"Yes, Palace Master."

As soon as the serious matter was mentioned, Tang Bing immediately became serious, called himself the Palace Master, bowed to Jiuyou, and agreed to the matter.

"Since there's nothing else, I'll be leaving first."

"Lord Sky Eagle Emperor has something to ask me today."

Seeing that the discussion was over, Lu Chen stood up, nodded to everyone, and walked out of the hall.

Seeing this, Lin Jing hurriedly followed and hugged Lu Chen's arm.

"Lu Chen, wait for me, you haven't given me the Skyfire Jadeite you promised me yet!"

The fullness and softness of his arm made Lu Chen stunned for a moment, and then he felt some unfriendly gazes from the people around him.

Especially Jiuyou on the throne, his eyes narrowed slightly, and there seemed to be a flash of cold light.

"Don't talk nonsense! When did I ever promise to give you Skyfire Jadeite?"

Lu Chen suddenly shuddered coldly, quickly pulled Lin Jing away, and said anxiously.

A cunning look flashed in Lin Jing's eyes, and she smiled sweetly and said, "Brother Lu Chen, you promised me before..."

"Lin Jing, that's enough. I was wondering why you were being so attentive today. It turns out you had this in mind."

Lu Chen lowered his voice and said through gritted teeth.

"What are you planning? Didn't we agree on this? I'll give you a shoulder rub, and you'll give me a piece of Skyfire Jadeite..."

Lin Jing blinked and said innocently.

Lu Chen's eyes twitched. He felt that he had been too nice to this little witch recently, and she was even blackmailing him.

Didn’t you say before that you saw how hard I was working and wanted to give me a massage?
Zhang Wuji's mother was right. The more beautiful a woman is, the more likely she is to deceive...

Forget it, it’s just a piece of Sky Fire Jadeite for her.

This will prevent this little witch from pestering me further.

Lu Chen sighed, took out a fiery red chalcedony like magma from the Xumi bracelet, handed it to Lin Jing, and said, "Here, it's for you."

Lin Jing happily took the Skyfire Jadeite and said in a low voice, "Thank you, Lu Chen, you are such a good person. I will repay you double when I return to the Martial Realm."

Lu Chen curled his lips, but there was a hint of smile in his eyes.

He had known Lin Jing for a few months and had some understanding of her personality. She liked to play tricks on people sometimes, but she could still distinguish right from wrong. He thought she would not embezzle his piece of Sky Fire Jadeite.

Maybe it's really needed urgently.

In the corner of the hall, the woman in white slowly lowered her raised hand and listened to the conversation between the two in silence. She only felt a little regretful for letting her daughter stay.
