I became a god through frontier slaughter, and I crushed the academy's prodigies!

Outside the Jiangcheng defense line.

The former occupied territory.

Three great beast kings once inhabited this place, posing a major threat to Jiangcheng for over a century.

Not long ago, Shen Tian led three thousand elite troops from the Jiangcheng Po Jun Division, sweeping across this vast land like autumn leaves in the wind.

After Shen Tian became the head of the manor's personal guards, he gained jurisdiction over two garrison cities.

This land thus rightfully became Shen Tian and Jiang Cheng's territory.

But at this moment, the fruits of victory that should have belonged to Jiangcheng were now tense and fraught with danger.

Qin Zhenshan gripped his sword tightly with both hands, the blade pointing straight ahead.

The fifth-level martial artist's internal energy surged wildly across his body, resisting the invisible pressure coming from the front.

Chi Xiao stood beside him, clenching his teeth.

Behind them, three thousand Jiangcheng Pojun Division warriors formed a battle formation, their killing intent soaring to the sky.

On the other side of them.

There were only three people.

The leader was a middle-aged man wearing a specially made robe, which bore some resemblance to the robe of the Tianyun City Tiangong Division.

But there are differences.

Seven dazzling gold patterns were embroidered on the chest.

The representative is Lin Hai, a top-tier seventh-rank weapon forger!

One level higher than Master Furukawa!

In China, he was a very important person who would be treated as an honored guest wherever he went.

But behind Lin Hai stood two chilling figures.

Those were two humanoid creatures.

Its skin is an eerie deep purple, covered with intricate and mysterious purple patterns.

What's most chilling is that there's a tightly closed vertical eye prominently displayed between their eyebrows.

Foreign race.

Purple Spirit Clan.

Danger lurks everywhere on Earth.

Besides the alien beasts that feed on humans and are absolutely hostile, there are also various other alien races with advanced intelligence.

Humans have a remarkably consistent attitude towards alien beasts: kill them.

However, the human race has a great deal of disagreement regarding other races.

The pro-war faction believed that those who were not of their own race were bound to have different intentions, and that all other races were potential threats, collectively referred to as "demons," and should be eradicated.

The peace faction, on the other hand, believes that the alien races possess extremely high intelligence and unique civilizations. As long as they do not actively hunt humans, it is entirely possible to establish peaceful relations and share the land of Earth.

Lin Hai was a highly influential member of the pro-peace faction.

For a weapon forger, cultivating mental strength is of paramount importance.

The Purple Spirit Clan is a powerful alien race known for its cultivation of spiritual power.

Lin Hai had his eye on the Purple Spirit Clan's unique method of tempering spiritual fire and was determined to promote "friendly exchanges" between the two clans.

A few days ago, he heard that the occupied areas of Jiangcheng had been completely liberated and all the alien beasts had been wiped out.

A vast, unclaimed territory spanning hundreds of kilometers was the perfect place to settle the Purple Spirit Clan and establish a "peaceful exchange zone."

He made a special trip to Tianyun Prefecture to ask the prefect Lu Changming for the land.

Lu Changming's answer was straightforward.

This land was acquired by Shen Tian, ​​who is now the head of the personal guard and has absolute jurisdiction. If you want the land, go find Shen Tian.

Lu Changming's original words were: "The occupied area of ​​Jiangcheng has been handed over to Shen Tian for disposal, and I will not interfere."

But in Lin Hai's eyes, Shen Tian was just a newcomer.

As a seventh-rank master weaponsmith, he represented the will of a group of high-ranking officials who advocated "peaceful coexistence" with foreign races.

If he were to lower himself to ask for a plot of land, would Shen Tian dare to refuse?

Moreover, Shen Tian is not in Jiangcheng at all right now.

First, cook the raw rice into cooked rice, and then settle the envoy of the Purple Spirit Clan.

By the time Shen Tian returned, the die was cast.

Could he possibly offend me for such a trivial matter, for a few uncouth thugs?

Lin Hai, too lazy to wait, led two envoys from the Purple Spirit Clan directly to the occupied area, ready to forcibly take over the territory.

As a result, Qin Zhenshan and his three thousand Po Jun Si warriors held them firmly at bay.

"Guard Qin, my patience is limited."

Lin Hai stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes revealing an arrogant and condescending air.

"I'll say it one last time: take your men and get back inside the Jiangcheng defense line."

"From today onwards, this land shall be designated as the peaceful settlement of the Purple Spirit Clan."

Qin Zhenshan stepped forward and slammed his battle sword into the ground.

"Master Lin, I'll say it one last time."

"This land belongs to our Jiangcheng Po Jun Division. It was Guard Shen who led us, fighting our way back from the monstrous beasts, sword and spear at a time!"

"By order of the Prefect, the occupied area of ​​Jiangcheng shall be under the full jurisdiction of Shen's personal guards."

"Without Guard Shen's orders, no one, not even the Emperor himself, can take an inch of land from us!"

"Let alone handing it over to the Otherworldly Demons!"

Upon hearing the words "Otherworldly Demons," the two Purple Spirit Clan members behind Lin Hai frowned slightly.

One of them snorted coldly.

hum.

An extremely terrifying mental fluctuation instantly erupted from his body.

There was no protective aura, no killing intent.

But that pure spiritual pressure was like an invisible mountain, crashing heavily into the hearts of the three thousand soldiers of Jiangcheng.

thump.

The dozens of soldiers in the front row were caught off guard and were forced to kneel on one knee, their faces pale.

Qin Zhenshan groaned, a trickle of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, but he held on tightly to his battle sword, refusing to retreat an inch.

"Ignorant brute."

Lin Hai shook his head, his eyes full of contempt.

"You have no idea how much benefit our friends from the Purple Spirit Clan can bring us."

"As for that Shen Tian..."

Lin Hai chuckled.

"He's just a greenhorn who got promoted by Lu Changming because of his military achievements."

"Even if he were standing right here, and I asked for this land, would he dare say no?"

"I am a seventh-rank weapon forger!"

"How dare he, a junior, disrespect me?"

Lin Hai's voice echoed across the wilderness, carrying an undeniable domineering air.

He slowly raised his hand.

"Since you refuse to listen to reason and are now forced to drink the penalty cup, then don't blame me for being impolite."

"Get them out of here."

Lin Hai spoke calmly to the two Purple Spirit Clan members behind him.

The two Purple Spirit Clan members curled their lips into a cruel smile, and the vertical eye between their brows began to tremble slightly, as if it were about to emit a purple, eerie light.

An even more terrifying mental storm is brewing.

Qin Zhenshan's eyes turned bloodshot, and he suddenly raised his battle sword.

"Jiangcheng Po Jun Si!"

"Fight to the death!"

Three thousand soldiers roared in unison.

"Fight to the death!"

At this critical moment.

boom.

A deafening sonic boom suddenly resounded from the heavens.

It was as if the sky had been torn apart by human hands.

Immediately afterwards, a violent aura ten or even a hundred times more terrifying than that of the Purple Spirit Clan crashed down on the ruins like a meteorite falling to earth.

A sudden gust of wind arose.

Amidst the billowing dust, an icy voice clearly reached everyone's ears.

"You want my land."

"They're going to kick my people out."

"Old man, is your pride made of gold?"

The smoke and dust cleared.

A black-clad youth with enormous dark golden wings slowly descended from the sky.

He hovered in mid-air, looking down at the forest.

There was no anger in those deep eyes, only a cold indifference as if they were looking at a dead object.

Behind him, Chu Feng and Zhou Xuan landed steadily.

Upon seeing Shen Tian appear, Qin Zhenshan and the three thousand Po Jun Si warriors' eyes instantly blazed with fanaticism.

"Shen Qinwei!"

The deafening shouts echoed across the wilderness.

Lin Hai's arrogant expression froze slightly. He narrowed his eyes and sized up Shen Tian in mid-air.

"You're Shen Tian?"

Lin Hai snorted coldly.

"Now that you're back, that's perfect."

"I've taken a liking to this piece of land; I'm going to use it to settle my friends from the Purple Spirit Clan."

"Let them leave."

Lin Hai's tone was entirely commanding.

Shen Tian remained silent.

He didn't even look at Lin Hai, but instead turned his gaze to the two Purple Spirit Clan members behind Lin Hai.

Purple skin, vertical eyes.

Shen Tian tilted his head slightly.

"An alien race?"

Lin Hai frowned and corrected him.

"They are distinguished guests of the Purple Spirit Clan."

"Shen Tian, ​​I advise you to be sensible. To exchange a piece of wasteland for the friendship of the Purple Spirit Clan is a great honor for you. What's more, you can also gain a favor from me, Lin Hai."
