Chapter 425 The Storm Rises Again
Xia Lin felt that he might have a restless constitution.
He originally just wanted to come to the Black Domain to advance a level, but he got the news that his potential enemy, Wang Yanlin, Wang Laowu, and his obvious enemy, the Soul-binding Immortal Venerable, were also in the Black Domain.
"It's a bit unlucky."
At the border of the Black Domain, on the bridge of the starship, hearing Xia Lin muttering, the three kings of the Black Domain looked at each other in bewilderment.
No, brother, the place you came to is where accidents happen frequently. There are four or six people crammed into this tiny place. Now you say you are unlucky, are you kidding us?
Isn't this what you asked for?
Of course, they didn't dare say this in front of Xia Lin. They just lowered their heads silently, fearing that Xia Lin would order them to do something.
They are the kings of the Black Domain, so they should be very familiar with this Black Domain.
But times have changed. The current Black Domain is no longer something that the Three Kings of the Black Domain can control.
Unfortunately, they cannot decide their own destiny.
In the past, when they signed the contract with Xia Lin, their lives were delivered to Xia Lin by their own hands.
"Return to the Black Territory, gather your old subordinates, and gather information for me."
After saying this, Xia Lin thought for a moment, then suddenly had an idea and said, "If you can infiltrate the enemy, I will reward you handsomely."
There is one thing that can be used to report a lack of intelligence.
That is the fact that Xia Lin has subdued the three kings of the Black Domain.
Xia Lin actually handled this matter quite covertly - the agreement was signed in the dark, so its secrecy was naturally guaranteed.
Not long after leaving the Dark Realm, the Sequence Ranking Battle ended.
Afterwards, Xia Lin activated the battlefield between the two realms and summoned the Three Kings of the Black Domain to fight against the Lingbao Immortal Venerable... But the Lingbao Immortal Venerable was already dead. Apart from the Original Overlord, there were no other bystanders in the battle that day!
This means that except for Zhou Xinglin, who has met the Three Kings of the Black Domain, no one knows that the Three Kings of the Black Domain are Xia Lin's men!
And Zhou Xinglin obviously would not make this matter known to everyone.
After Xia Lin's brief explanation, the three kings of the Black Domain understood the logic.
However, when they left the starship, the three of them still looked bitter. It was true that this Black Domain was no longer the place where they were in charge.
But thinking about it, since following Xia Lin, the original dark side pollution that could take lives at any time has indeed been effectively controlled.
In short, you will get hurt if you stick your head out, and you will get hurt if you keep your head down.
The choices they made in the first half of their lives actually determined their fate in the second half.
…
Until the three kings of the Black Domain left, Xia Lin sighed slightly and shook his head.
Just then, Irene came forward with tea and handed the cup to Xia Lin.
Suddenly Xia Lin said, "Tell me, after this time, how many of these three guys will still be able to stay with me?"
Irene was stunned and asked tentatively, "Do you think they will betray you?"
Xia Lin nodded and said, "It's just a probability."
"But, aren't there any contractual constraints between you?"
"The contract is not omnipotent..."
Of course, contracts are not omnipotent.
The contract that Xia Lin signed with the Three Kings of the Black Domain did not involve the Six Pillars as witnesses - that is, there were no Six Pillars as guarantors.
It's just a template contract provided by the professional system.
No matter how weak the Three Kings of the Black Domain are, they are still level twelve powerhouses after all.
The things in the professional system are not that restrictive for those who are half a step beyond the professional system.
Rather than a contract, what maintains this relationship is ultimately the function of the Spirit World Book - it can alleviate the symptoms of the Three Kings of the Black Domain and is a panacea for the Three Kings of the Black Domain.
In short, the basis for the existence of a contract is the exchange of interests, not the contract itself.
"Originally, for the three of them, my special medicine is unique to Scorpion Papa."
"But now, the nature of this matter has changed."
"There is someone who is more suitable to solve this problem than me. I am talking about the Primordial Overlord."
"The problems that plagued the Three Kings of the Black Territory were nothing more than a single word to the Primordial Overlord. And this alone shattered the very foundation of their loyalty and commitment to me."
Irene finally understood what was said.
In fact, the Scarlett sisters are not very smart... but fortunately they are beautiful, considerate and loyal.
Irene said nothing, but kept making tea for Xia Lin.
Xia Lin sipped his tea and spoke again.
This seems like a kind of confession, but it is also a kind of deduction and summary.
"Actually, I can probably guess the reason for the changes in the Black Domain. It's easy for me to guess."
"The main reason is one: the plan to seize the throne from the original dark side has already begun."
After the birth of the Original Overlord, the six pillars of the Original Dark Side had actually been reserved by the Original Overlord, or the soul of the Original Dark Side.
——After all, this originally belonged to Him.
This is extremely bad news for all the level 12 strong men who are interested in the Six Pillars.
Because when they fight for the position in the future, they will not be facing the original Dark Side who can't even use his skills, but the real six pillars who can fully exert their own power!
However, it takes time for the soul of the original dark side to control all the power of its body and regain control of the six pillars.
No one can estimate how long this will take, but this is indeed the only window.
"So, it's very urgent...all those who are qualified and have ideas are very anxious."
Irene looked at Xia Lin with a smile: "Including you?"
Xia Lin nodded heavily: "Including me."
Xia Lin then smiled bitterly and said, "But there's no point in being anxious... I'm not even level 11, and to compete for the Six Pillars, level 12 is a prerequisite... I guess even at level 12 is not enough, and I can't withstand the power of the Six Pillars."
Xia Lin was born at the wrong time.
He was growing fast enough, but things wouldn't wait for him to develop properly.
I encountered the best opportunity at the most powerless age.
This is very embarrassing.
Shaking his head to stop thinking about these questions, Xia Lin continued speaking.
"Other competitors are actually not that difficult to deal with. At least judging from the Three Kings of the Black Territory, none of the princes of the Wang family or the Immortal Emperors can shake their loyalty to me."
"The problem is with the Primordial Overlord..."
"Since the seizure of the throne has begun, the Primordial Overlord will surely be present."
After all, He himself is the absolute protagonist of this drama of seizing the throne.
"Regardless of whether the Primordial Overlord will come personally, it's still necessary to send someone. Besides, they are the only ones who know about my relationship with the Three Kings of the Black Territory."
"Perhaps with just one word, they can easily incite the Three Kings of the Black Territory to rebel..."
It just depends on whether you want to or need to, not whether you can or not.
To be honest, Xia Lin felt that it was unlikely that the Original Overlord would be able to look down upon the combat effectiveness of the Three Kings of the Black Domain, but no matter what, he could not gamble on such a thing.
Irene immediately understood what was going on.
"So you transferred them all away..."
Xia Lin added, "Firstly, we've made the best use of our people. At this point, it's necessary to squeeze out a little more of their value. Secondly, I'm really worried they might suddenly turn against us and launch a surprise attack."
Without the Heavenly Dao Equation, Xia Lin would have found it difficult to fight against a level 12 opponent, even one as powerful as the Three Kings of the Black Domain.
If Xia Lin was caught off guard by the sudden attack, he would most likely be taken away by the three of them in one go.
When the servant is strong and the master is weak, big problems are likely to arise.
Looking at Xia Lin who was lost in thought, Irene couldn't help but gently stroke Xia Lin's cheek.
"Thanks for your hard work……"
In the Jhin area, due to his strength issues, Xia Lin basically ran rampant and did not encounter any serious trouble in the later stages.
But as he walked out of the Novice Village, endless tests and challenges began to follow.
The complexity of the situation began to increase exponentially.
Naturally, Xia Lin had a lot of things to think about.
Irene suddenly had an idea and said, "How about I go and help you find out the information?"
Since the Three Kings of the Black Domain are at risk of betrayal, their information cannot be fully trusted.
At this moment, Irene volunteered, but Xia Lin rubbed Irene's hair hard.
"Go make your tea."
Irene is believable, but too weak.
Glancing at the distant black region and the Six Pillars battlefield beyond, Xia Lin pointed out the porthole and said slowly, "If you go, you'll be committing suicide."
…
The impact of the Six Pillars Battle was far greater than Xia Lin had imagined.
In less than a month, the entire Black Domain had been transformed.
Colorful energy flows spread across the entire black domain. It looks gorgeous and brilliant, but in fact it is filled with destructive power.
There are no stars in the entire black domain anymore, it is empty and clean.
Except for a few extremely hidden dimensional interlayers, there is no living space for professionals below level 11.
But this is great news for Xia Lin.
It is known that Xia Lin cannot analyze the six pillars.
He couldn't bear to watch the scene of Liuzhu's attack.
This caused Xia Lin to be unable to make out anything at all when he looked at the Six Pillars battlefield in the distance...
Who is strong and who is weak?
How far has the battle progressed?
What are the specific details of the move?
None of these, I can't see clearly at all.
However, the aftermath of the confrontation between the three pillars of power was not so strong - after all, it was the product of neutralization.
Xia Lin can witness it, analyze it, and use it to stimulate his own permanent foundational talent.
At this moment, the black domain is full of such energy turbulence.
Calm down, witness carefully, feel, and experience.
At this moment, Xia Lin no longer thought about anything in the outside world and only focused on himself.
Xia Lin had a hunch that it wouldn't be long before he could successfully reach level eleven.
…
Facts have proved that Xia Lin's thinking about the possibility of betrayal by the Three Kings of the Black Domain was not unreasonable.
Because it happened after all.
But it was not the way Xia Lin expected.
Just three days later, Haien, the White Light, was the first to reply.
——After the three kings of the Black Domain left, Xia Lin immediately moved the location of the starship. They could not find Xia Lin, but Xia Lin left them a communication method.
Therefore, the information content is presented in the form of remote communication.
The person being communicated to was not Hain.
But it was an acquaintance of Xia Lin: NO.3, Cheng Lin.
"I want to see you."
Cheng Lin said this during the holographic communication.
Looking at Cheng Lin's dull face, Xia Lin's mouth twitched: "No."
"You know, if the Lord wants to find you, the starship Zhou Xinglin gave you can't stop him."
Theoretically, this starship can block the tracking of the six pillars.
But theory is theory, and reality is reality.
Xia Linxin believed that if the Primal Overlord wanted, this starship would not become an obstacle for Him to track Him.
Even so, Xia Lin still shook his head: "If you have anything to say, just talk over the phone. I really don't think there's any need for us to meet."
Cheng Lin's eyes became even more dull, as if someone was giving him advice.
——As a Limit Breaker, even after regaining his freedom, his condition is still bad and he is really not suitable to work independently.
So at this moment, Xia Lin had already guessed why Cheng Lin was looking for him.
"My Lord would like to ask you to help me once more."
Yes, the Primordial Overlord wants to hire Xia Lin...
again.
Xia Lin pretended to be curious and asked deliberately, "Master, have you not trained any useful subordinates yet?"
Cheng Lin simply said: "It is being cultivated..."
"So this is why you came to me this time?"
“Yes… no no… no…”
"Is it or isn't it?"
"no……"
"Oh, that's it."
Cheng Lin: “…”
Cheng Lin's brain works too slowly.
He is qualified as a thug, but he obviously does not have the ability to stand on his own.
Xia Lin exposed his true colors in just a few words.
Cheng Lin simply stopped pretending.
"My Lord would like you to go deep into the dark world to find the evil god and inject the materials I have made into his body."
"You have the Spirit World Book, so you won't attract the attention of the evil gods. This is the best thing for you to do."
Xia Lin nodded in understanding: "So, the Origin Lord's plan to train his subordinates is divided into two aspects."
"On the one hand, we are cultivating potential seedlings in those areas covered by the dark side of the universe. But this takes time."
After all, slightly stronger professionals have the ability to travel rapidly through space.
The expansion speed of the dark side of the universe is actually not that fast, and it cannot keep up with the speed at which these people are escaping. As a result, the area controlled by the original master is now full of small Karamis who are of no use at all.
"On the other hand, the Origin Lord has set his sights on the Heretic God..."
Xia Lin had had this idea before: when the original dark side became the original master, the evil gods derived from that power would probably also change.
But at the moment, it seems that this change cannot happen naturally, but requires the original master to take the initiative to promote it.
The result of the change is also clear at a glance: no matter what the evil gods become in the future, their power will not be reduced too much, and they will have intelligence and ability to act, and be loyal to the original master.
This will be a team created by the original master himself.
Xia Lin said this deliberately and carefully observed Cheng Lin's expression.
From Cheng Lin's expression, Xia Lin was certain of one thing: his guess was correct.
"But unfortunately, I really don't have time right now... How about this, after I complete my promotion, we can get in touch again?"
Don't say anything dead.
Even if the Primordial Overlord said in person that they would be enemies the next time they met, Xia Lin would still not take the initiative to provoke the Primordial Overlord.
He definitely won't help with the matter, and he doesn't even need to hear the price.
But he couldn't offend the Original Master, actively break the tacit understanding between the two sides, and completely ignite the Original Master's hostility.
However, Cheng Lin could not hear the rejection in Xia Lin's words at all.
Nodding heavily: "I'll wait for your news."
Then he hung up the phone.
…
The Black Domain, the dimensional space where Hain’s base is located.
Hain opened his mouth and was completely speechless.
Chenglin is not a normal person, but Hain is much more normal.
Seeing Cheng Lin really ended the call, he stood there waiting. After dozens of minutes, Hai En asked in confusion, "No, Boss, are you really waiting?"
Cheng Lin: "Ah? I'm waiting. Didn't Xia Lin tell me to wait?"
Haien: "...He rejected you, didn't you hear it?"
Cheng Lin shook his head blankly.
Hain had no choice but to speak up and analyze in detail the meaning of every word and sentence Xia Lin had just said.
It was not until he was exhausted from talking that Cheng Lin realized what had happened.
The Limit Breaker frowned and asked, "What should I do?"
He has no other options.
In fact, Hein felt that it was the idea of the Original Lord to let Cheng Lin come to the Black Domain to ambush him first.
Following Cheng Lin, Hain felt that his future was bleak.
He couldn't help but say, "Speaking of which, couldn't Your Excellency send an avatar to take charge of this matter? At the very least, a consciousness projection would do!"
Cheng Lin shook his head and pointed above his head.
Without further explanation, Hein understood what the gesture meant.
——Outside, three of the six pillars are fighting fiercely. Any approach from any other pillar will lead to unpredictable consequences.
Therefore, in this game, the Original Lord and the King of Kings will not come here unless necessary, and they will not even project their consciousness.
Sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight is the best strategy after all. Wouldn't it be nice to wait until these three are tired and then clean up the mess?
Hai En sighed deeply, and suddenly saw Cheng Lin clapped his hands: "Got it!"
Hein felt a chill in his heart.
I am not afraid of others being stupid, I am afraid of stupid people having a sudden inspiration.
The premonition in my heart soon turned into reality.
Cheng Lin looked at Hai En and said simply: "If Xia Lin doesn't want to do it, then you have to do it."
Hain: "Me!?"
I fight the evil god?
Are you serious?
Without waiting for Hain to speak, Cheng Lin dragged Hain out without saying a word.
The power was so great that Hein had no chance to say no.
Feeling Cheng Lin's firm will and resolute steps, Haien was numb.
For the first time, he doubted his decision...
Abandoning Xia and joining Yuan, is this deal really worthwhile?
…
After finishing the communication with Cheng Lin, Xia Lin moved to another location immediately.
After finding a place that he thought was relatively safe, Xia Lin hummed a little tune leisurely, obviously in a good mood.
This made Erin very strange...
Hain's betrayal should have been a small blow to Xia Lin, but now Xia Lin was not disappointed at all, but felt relieved from the bottom of his heart.
In response to this, Irene asked a question in confusion, and Xia Lin gave the answer.
"Because it has been confirmed that the only one who has been temporarily won over by the Primordial Overlord is Hain."
One of the three kings of the Black Realm betrayed.
Hain's betrayal has not caused much loss to Xia Lin.
This is a result that Xia Lin can completely accept.
"As for why I came to this conclusion, it's because Cheng Lin is short on manpower, he's the only one there. And the Black Domain is in chaos right now, making it a difficult place to find people. Cheng Lin's way of finding Hai En must have been to simply block his home and wait for him to succeed. Since he blocked Hai En, he probably wouldn't have been able to block Dean and Barclay. And for some inexplicable reason... I guess it's because this place is too close to the Immortal Demon Battlefield, so the Primordial Overlord didn't have any clones or consciousness to come... This leaves a lot of room for maneuver."
With the intervention of the Six Pillars, all evil spirits will retreat and no one can do anything about it.
Without the intervention of the six pillars, Xia Lin had room to perform.
Of course, how to play it out still has to wait for information from Barclay and Dean.
But that’s all in the past.
Xia Lin would never leave this starship until he reached level eleven.
Continue to witness the aftermath of the six-pillar fight and continue to wait.
Two days later, information from Barclay and Dean was transmitted back one after another.
Among them, Dean's lair was destroyed in the Battle of Six Pillars.
He himself didn't get any useful information.
He just said in the communication that he was gathering his old subordinates and would definitely live up to Xia Lin's trust. However, Xia Lin saw that this guy was just trying to procrastinate.
——He doesn't have the courage to take the initiative to contact external forces.
But Mo Xialin Yanggong not only had the courage, but also was very brave.
Xia Lin saw through it but didn't say anything, pretending nothing had happened.
After all, Xia Lin never considered the Three Kings of the Black Domain as his own people, so it was not a pity even if they betrayed him.
Instead, it was Barclay who brought the news later and gave Xia Lin a big "surprise".
"What? What did you say!?"
"I said... I'm in the dark world now, and I've already infiltrated Wang Laoqi's team."
“And this group of people…”
As Barclay continued his story, Xia Lin quickly frowned.
The situation seemed to be more complicated than he thought...
…
The first level of the dark world, the old days reappear.
This is not the first time that Barclay has come here.
He had been to the Dark Realm five times in total and survived every time. Therefore, Barclay was familiar with the first level of the Dark Realm: the reappearance of the old scenes.
But this time, everything is different.
Following the large army of Wang Yanqing, the seventh son of the Wang family, through the passage to the dark world, what came into view was the towering city, the invincible bronze warships, and the vast and powerful army with its feet rooted in the void!
The flags were waving, all with the word "king" on them.
But it is not the golden royal flag - this is the exclusive flag of the King of Kings.
Instead, they are multi-colored flags in black, white, blue, purple, etc.
One color indicates a twelfth level, indicating a son of the royal family or the king's adopted son.
And this occupies most of the first level of the entire dark world!
Roars and roars came from the depths of the starry sky, full of anger.
Barclay looked into the distance and saw the two former emperors of immortals and demons separated into two places.
The two emperors of immortals and demons are engaged in a fierce battle!
"That's the situation."
On the hidden communicator, Barclay transmitted everything in front of him back to Xia Lin in the form of a video.
It was not until the intelligence transmission was completed that Barclay took a deep breath and felt a chill in his heart.
"These guys are actually planning to suppress the two immortal and demon emperors here!"
