Chapter 375 - Lord Of A Great City
Chapter 375 Lord Of A Great City
“Ji Hong, stop pretending to be dead. Deng Yushan is already dead.”
Lin Ye glanced at Ji Hong, who was still lying in a pool of blood without any aura, and sent a voice transmission to awaken the other party’s soul.
“Mm? Is it over?”
Ji Hong suddenly opened his eyes and looked around. When he realized that everyone was on his side, he immediately revealed a bright smile.
“Congratulations, Master.”
“Alright.”
Lin Ye waved his hand and continued, “This time, you can consider it as working immediately. Here, take this as a reward for
you.”
As he spoke, he threw the Level 1 Great City Crystal that his main body had given him over.
“This is?!!!”
As soon as he touched the crystal, the system’s congratulatory message sounded in Ji Hong’s mind, almost scaring him silly. He was just a soldier who had just offered his loyalty for less than a day, but his master actually trusted him so much that he directly gave him a Level 1 Great City Crystal.
One had to know that this was a treasure that the previous City Lord, Deng Yushan, had risked his life for. He even sold himself to the Asura Clan to get this.
“For me?” He swallowed hard in disbelief.
“Nonsense, isn’t it already in your hands?” Lin Ye rolled his eyes. “And this. Hurry up and breakthrough to level up. Let me experience the strength of a Great City’s City Lord.”
As he spoke, he threw out another Void Ring.
Inside was a bottle of Level 14 Barrier Breaking Pill and 2 billion high-grade spirit stones. These were all the resources for Deng Yushan’s advancement.
After triggering 100xReward, his main body still had 1,000,000,000. He also had more than 10,000 Barrier Breaking Pills. It was enough for him to spend for a long time.
“M-Master.”
After looking at the supplies in the Void Ring again, Ji Hong was so excited that he didn’t know what to say.
He had followed Deng Yushan for thousands of years. Even though he had offered his loyalty, the previous owner did not treat him well.
He had always been stingy with his salary and treatment.
On the other hand, when treating the outsiders, Deng Yushan was very generous.
This also led to their current state. Even if all the assets of the four generals were added together, they were not even 1/10,000th of what Lin Ye had given them.
Whether a person treated you well or not depended on whether he was willing to spend money for you.
This applied to both men and women.
“Take it. If you’re grateful, use your actions to repay me. Heaven Cast City is the first city I conquered in the Underworld. I’ll leave it to you to manage. You should understand the meaning behind this,” Lin Ye said with a smile.
“Don’t worry, Master. From today onwards, Ji Hong will be your most loyal loyalist. I will pledge my life to you!”
As he spoke, Ji Hong knelt on the ground with a serious expression and kowtowed a few times.
“No, my Lin Clan doesn’t like this.”
Lin Ye raised his hand and pulled Ji Hong up. “Work hard for me. It’s better than any pretty words.”
“I understand.”
Ji Hong nodded seriously. From the corner of his eye, he saw the Heaven Cast Armament Soldiers who were being beaten back by the main force. He hesitated and said, “Master, Meng Qi and Lang Onei are good people by nature. Can you keep them? I’m willing to persuade them to surrender.”
“There’s no hurry. Let’s advance to the city first. The more powerful you are, the better the effect will be.” Lin Ye waved his hand.
“Alright, Master, please wait for a few minutes. I’ll be done soon.”
With that, Ji Hong rushed to the City Lord Manor at his fastest speed and used the City Lord Crystal to open the treasure vault.
He sat on the altar and split a portion of his blood essence and divine sense into the City Lord Crystal.
Boom!
In an instant, a beam of light shot out from the City Lord’s Treasure Vault and into the sky.
At the same time, new energy lighthouses gradually condensed around Heaven Cast City. The number was terrifying.
Lights and shadows flashed as a large number of energy lighthouses hid around the city. Accompanying them was the golden upgrade light that covered the sky.
Under the light, the old city wall rapidly changed from a hundred-meter tall stone wall to a pitch-black, metallic construction.
With the enhancement of the infinite upgrade golden light, the area of Heaven Cast City expanded rapidly in the Underworld.
In the blink of an eye, the area increased by more than ten times.
The most important thing was the Path to Repairing the Heavens. The original Heaven Cast City walked the rules of fire. The path was short and there were many people. Most of them were stuck at Class 10 or 11.
Only the city lord, generals, and the ancestors of the top noble families could consume a large amount of resources to advance to Class 12 or 13.
And now, that dilapidated and short rule path rapidly expanded.
Spirit stones the size of a fist shattered one after another, triggering a wave of spiritual energy that quickly extended. “Hahaha, I broke through! I’ve reached Class
11!”
“I broke through too. F*cking Deng Yushan restricted us for more than a thousand years. He deserves to die!”
“I wonder who the new City Lord is. He’s so powerful. Our Heaven Cast City has advanced, right? It feels like it’s at least a major city!” “Feels good. My family still has a few properties in the city. Once they jump from a big city to a big city, their value will at least increase by ten times. I’m also rich, hahaha!!”
“Kiddo, kneel down and kowtow. Thank you for your kindness, City Lord!”
With the successful advancement of Heaven Cast City, the citizens hiding in the city quietly walked out. After the battle not long ago, many rich and powerful people had fled the city, leaving only ordinary citizens like them behind.
They did not have the money to take teleportation arrays to escape, but they had coincidentally encountered this opportunity.
In this endless upgrade golden light, there were countless residents who had broken through and comprehended a new talent.
For a time, densely packed light golden luck particles arose.
10% flew to the City Lord Residence and fused into Ji Hong’s body, while 90% fused into the golden dragon of luck above Lin Ye’s head.
“You have obtained 200 million Luck Points!”
100xReward.
“You have obtained 20 billion Luck Points.”
“Roar,” With the enhancement of the vast amount of golden luck, the little dragon spirit immediately let out an excited roar and jumped around Lin Ye, licking him from time to time.
“Master, generous, delicious food. Everything is delicious. Oh, I can’t eat anymore…”
The little dragon spirit’s eyes widened. Even though it was stuffed, it still pouted and swallowed crazily.
“Being too greedy is not good for the body.” Lin Ye pointed at the air, and the excess luck power split into dozens.
Most of them flew into the City Lord Manor and landed firmly in Ji Hong’s body.
He had just advanced to become a City Lord and 90% of his luck had been sucked away. If things went wrong, he might even fail to advance to Class 14. Fortunately, after the 100xReward, the luck given back was already more than 90% more than what he had initially taken away. It was not a problem for him to advance.
As for the rest of the power of luck, he divided them into 25 parts and integrated them into the main team.
Boom! Boom!
A moment later, more than ten upgrade golden beams landed. With the help of the power of luck, many of them broke through.
It was Han Qingqing, Li Xiaohui, Lin Hai, Song Kuaidi, and the others.
All of them were human lords.
Now, the main force had all reached the peak of Class 12.
The human lords occupied half of the territory and the native citizens. They even had the momentum to overtake them.
Seeing this, Lin Ye took a look and smiled.
However, in the blink of an eye, the smile disappeared. He looked into the sky and a terrifying divine sense descended.
