Global Lords: My Species Can Mutate

Chapter 169: Chapter 168: Fugitives

Humanoid Species!

These knights standing on both sides are actually humanoid species!

Lin You initially thought these were the kingdom’s guard troops, but unexpectedly, they turned out to be Saint Radiance King’s troops!

Tier Eleven soldiers.

Such an overwhelmingly terrifying presence, even just one of them could probably destroy a duchy.

And the words of Saint Radiance King were extremely domineering.

If any king dares not to come, they will be executed on the spot!

This can no longer be described as mere anger; it’s the last ultimatum given to those duchy kings.

Though simple and brutal, it is the most effective method.

In the face of absolute power, all intrigue is futile.

This made Lin You involuntarily exhilarated, thinking that if someday he could reach such heights, would he still need to be as cautious and vigilant as he is now?

Indeed, in this world, strength is the ultimate truth.

As he marveled at the power of Saint Radiance King, the Golden Armored Knights also divided into groups and left the palace, heading towards the various duchies.

The remaining few were silent for a moment, then a voice came from Ji Xinghe on the side: “Lin You, right? I just heard you say that the aura of chaos in the area where you were initially located is shrinking?”

“Yes, although the speed is not fast, it is indeed gradually shrinking.”

Lin You now knew that the Gray Mist Zone that separates the two regions is the aura of chaos he was familiar with, so he answered truthfully without hiding anything.

Hearing this, Ji Xinghe slightly frowned as well: “The Primordial Evil Realm really uses every possible means, trying to force those lords to upgrade with this method. It’s fortunate that you all managed to escape from it; it must have been hard for you all.”

“Yes, indeed.” At this moment, Ji Yunshuang also interjected, “To think something like this would happen within a subordinate plane, we don’t even know how many lords suffered tragically. If it were…”

As she spoke to the end, Ji Yunshuang’s voice was somewhat trembling.

Looking at Lin You, there was even more sympathy in her eyes.

If it were her encountering such a situation, she admitted she couldn’t have done what Lin You did.

Let alone standing here, exposing the conspiracy of the Primordial Evil Realm.

Perhaps this is the true reason for Lin You’s strength.

Thinking of this, Ji Yunshuang gritted her teeth silently, revealing traces of determination.

And on the throne, Saint Radiance King gradually calmed down from his anger, and his appreciative gaze fell on Lin You.

“Young man, you’re quite something, I really like you. So, tell me, what reward do you want? You’ve made a major contribution this time, and whatever you want, I can fulfill.”

“Anything as a reward?”

Lin You’s eyes immediately brightened.

If you talk to him about rewards, he becomes very spirited.

“Yes, as long as it’s within my capability, it can be done,” Saint Radiance King said directly.

Lin You’s actions were tantamount to saving the foundation of Holy Radiance Kingdom and the foundation of the Primordial Continent. As a king, naturally, he couldn’t let people feel disheartened.

Even Ji Xinghe on the side cast an envious glance.

A promise personally made by Saint Radiance King, even he was deeply tempted.

Lin You naturally knew this was a golden opportunity.

He could even risk making a bad impression by boldly demanding a lot of resources or other things.

Saint Radiance King probably wouldn’t refuse.

But at this moment.

He suddenly thought of those companions who once went through hardships with him and escaped from the region together, wondering how they were now.

In truth, if they were to be accounted for, they should at least have some credit for this.

So, after some hesitation, he finally lifted his head and said:

“Since that’s the case, I would like to ask Saint Radiance King to help me find those companions who escaped with me. Without them, I probably wouldn’t be able to stand here today.”

Upon hearing this, everyone including Saint Radiance King was stunned.

They all looked at Lin You with surprised glances.

They had expected that Lin You would demand a lot of resources.

Or relocate to a more prosperous city under the protection of Saint Radiance King, or something like that.

But they never expected such a simple request.

After overcoming their surprise, Saint Radiance King quickly reacted, suddenly bursting into hearty laughter.

“Hahaha… Good lad, you have some guts! I like you more and more. But your earlier request doesn’t count because even if you hadn’t said it, I would have found them. How about this, I’ll additionally give you 200,000 honor points, and a rare species token of Plant Type, so those idiots won’t say I’m stingy.”

“Really!?”

Lin You’s heart suddenly skipped a beat, and his breathing became rapid.

A full 200,000 points!

And a rare species token!

This was like a pie falling from the sky nearly knocking him out.

He dared not think much, quickly replied: “Thank you, Saint Radiance King!”

“Alright, alright, stop with the thank-yous, I’m not into that,”

Saint Radiance King waved his hand, seemingly in a very good mood.

Then, with a broad wave, a resource ball condensed from unknown power shot out, drifting towards Lin You.

Lin You hurriedly caught it and carefully inspected it.

Indeed, there was a token inside, along with a flashing light cluster.

But since he was still in the palace, it wasn’t appropriate to use it on the spot. Taking a deep breath, he stored the resource ball into his personal space, planning to use it later when he got back.

The calm and composed demeanor immediately made Ji Xinghe on the side nod silently.

Then, a few of them waited in the palace, engaging in occasional small talk.

Soon, news from the Golden Armored Knights came back.

What surprised them was.

The Golden Armored Knights did not bring back any kings, but instead delivered a message.

“Master, the Flame River King and his territory have vanished.”

“What did you say!!”

Saint Radiance King abruptly stood up from the throne, eyes widening.

Even Ji Xinghe and his daughter below showed slightly somber expressions.

Disappearing at such a critical moment, even if they were fools, they could guess the reason behind it.

Flame River King turned out to be an infiltrator from the Primordial Evil Realm!

And as soon as this idea emerged, an overwhelming aura erupted from Saint Radiance King, rending the surrounding air and transforming it into a terrifying vacuum.

“Flame River, well then, it’s you! Let’s go! Bring him back to me!”

With that said, with a grasp, the void in front of him shattered into a space passage. He then led a team of Golden Armored Knights into the passage and disappeared.

The remaining few exchanged glances.

Finally, Ji Xinghe said: “Let’s follow them too, we absolutely cannot let the infiltrator from the Primordial Evil Realm escape here.”

“Okay!”

With that, they also entered the space passage, following in the footsteps of Saint Radiance King.

Meanwhile.

Far away in the Angel’s Wing Main City, at the convergence of the two realms.

Dazzling white light shone on the Teleportation Plaza, and a figure dressed in robes, in utmost panic and disarray, appeared and hurriedly fled towards the city outskirts.

This person was none other than the Flame River King receiving the news of fleeing.

And also, the long-standing infiltrator from the Primordial Evil Realm on the Primordial Continent!

As soon as he appeared, the terrifying aura far surpassing a Tier Nine Lord spread out involuntarily, startling other lords nearby to stop and point at him.

The Celestial Horse Knight Order patrolling the skies also noticed the abnormality and descended in unison, arriving in front of Flame River King.

“Greetings, may I ask what business you have in the main city?”

Clearly, from the aura of Flame River King, they had already guessed his identity as a king.

After all, for a place like a border main city, presences above Tier Ten usually wouldn’t appear unless something significant happened.

However, what they could never have anticipated.

Seeing them blocking his way, Flame River King suddenly widened his eyes in anger, his face full of evil qi.

“Get out of my way!”
