Lin Chen looked at the puppet army and suddenly thought of something. With a flash of his figure, he flew out and rushed to the outside of the Explosive Dragon Killing Formation.
At this moment, the battle between the skeleton frames and the fierce tiger puppets was extremely intense. Under the defense and attack of the Explosive Dragon Killing Formation, as well as the fierce tiger puppets’ shredding, nearly a hundred skeleton frames lay scattered around.
However, Lin Chen’s visit was not to pick up skeleton frames but to cast his gaze toward the direction where the female disciples of the Divine Flame Sect who followed Ning Yuanxuan earlier were located.
Nobody understood what Lin Chen intended to do, but Yu Weilian showed a hint of a helpless smile.
She knew very well that Lin Chen’s greedy nature was about to flare up again.
Lin Chen’s figure flickered as he weaved through the numerous skeleton frames, quickly arriving in front of the dead female disciples.
Along the way, several skeleton frames attacked Lin Chen, but he did not show any mercy, unleashing the power of thunder and lightning to kill them and then collecting them into the space of the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron.
Lin Chen looked at the bodies of the Bodhi Hall and slowly bent down.
Seeing this, everyone inside the Explosive Dragon Killing Formation immediately understood Lin Chen’s intention.
"Young Master Lin Chen, he isn’t going to...",
the crowd from the Divine Flame Sect said as they watched Lin Chen’s actions.
Next, Lin Chen picked up the Spatial Treasures of those people, probed with his Divine Sense, and a multitude of Heavenly and Earthly Treasures scattered on the ground.
Lin Chen looked at the treasures on the ground, a smile appearing on his face as he thought to himself that being a ’scavenger’ indeed was the fastest way to wealth.
Afterward, Lin Chen felt a movement of his heart and collected all the Heavenly and Earthly Treasures into the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron Space.
Lin Chen was about to turn around to scavenge the bodies of the Bodhi Hall martial artists, but then he bent down again.
He removed the clothing from the bodies of the Divine Flame Sect disciples. Although he did not care for these, after leaving the secret realm, he could still sell these magic treasure garments for money.
"This... Young Master Lin Chen...,"
people from the Divine Flame Sect within the Explosive Dragon Killing Formation were somewhat speechless, secretly thinking that Lin Chen’s level of greed was such that he would even strip the clothing from the dead.
Initially, they thought Lin Chen had some special predilection, but considering the dreadful state of the bodies torn apart by the skeleton frames, with their garments in tatters, Lin Chen still insisted on stripping them because, after all, those garments were magic treasures.
After scavenging the bodies of the Bodhi Hall martial artists and Xu Jiaojiao, Lin Chen finally returned to the Formation.
Upon returning to the Formation, Lin Chen, panting heavily, threw over a dozen Spatial Treasures toward the people of the Divine Flame Sect.
The Divine Flame Sect crowd’s eyes lit up instantly upon seeing the Spatial Treasures in their hands.
"Young Master Lin Chen, this is...,"
People were puzzled, as these Spatial Rings were quite valuable; many of them were still using storage bags, and among the previously deceased martial artists, only a few possessed Spatial Rings.
Yet, now Lin Chen had thrown the Spatial Treasures to them after his scavenging.
"Consider this a reward for those who witnessed it,"
Lin Chen said indifferently.
To him, with the unlimited space of the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron, these Spatial Rings were not worth much.
"Thank you, Young Master Lin Chen!"
The crowd was overjoyed and expressed their gratitude to Lin Chen.
After tossing the Spatial Rings to everyone, Lin Chen sat down and began refining human-shaped puppets using the materials and skeleton frames he had previously collected.
A day went by, and ten more human-shaped puppets were added to the Explosive Dragon Killing Formation, making a total of fifty with the previous forty.
Looking at the fifty human-shaped puppets in front of him, Lin Chen turned his gaze outside the Formation and suddenly had an idea...
Meanwhile, at the Cloud Sky City on the border of the Frost Chill Kingdom, Xu Ma’an and others wore serious expressions as they were assembling and deploying the large army within the city.
Cloud Sky City is a border area of the Frost Chill Kingdom and also a point of convergence for the Divine Flame Alliance and the Red Soul Hall, two major forces, which often leads to battles. Updates are released by novel•fire.net
The Frost Chill Kingdom is under the influence of the Formation Sect, and the Red Soul Hall naturally harbors hostility towards it, frequently sending troops to attack. Previously, since Cloud Sky City belonged to the Xuan Yin Sect, which had long allied with the Red Soul Hall, there would not be large-scale assaults.
However, the situation has now significantly changed; after Cloud Sky City was seized by the Jade Cauldron Kingdom, the Red Soul Hall’s troops started to attack frequently. Fortunately, with Lin Chen’s Second Soul Division, Xu Ma’an, Li Xuanming, and others stationed there, they repelled the attacking forces of the Red Soul Hall time and again.
However, new intelligence from the Dark Division indicated that the Zhangyang Country, a first-class power affiliated with the Red Soul Hall next to the Frost Chill Kingdom, was organizing a large army to attack Cloud Sky City.
Usually, the Quan Shi Empire, which is near the Frost Chill Kingdom, is comparable in strength to Zhangyang Country, and conflicts are mutual.
But upon learning that the Xuan Yin Sect within Cloud Sky City had been annihilated, the Red Soul Hall was furiously incensed and ordered Zhangyang Country to temporarily cease its offensive against the Quan Shi Empire and mobilize a large force to deal with Cloud Sky City.
Upon hearing the news, Xu Ma’an and Lin Chen did not dare to neglect the matter and immediately summoned the large army within Cloud Sky City.
Now, if purely comparing military strength, even against a powerful nation like Zhangyang Country, Lin Chen was unafraid.
After all, he had the Battle Eagle Squad and warship armies; his military power no longer feared Zhangyang Country.
The Dark Division had already investigated the apparent strength of Zhangyang Country, and Lin Chen was sixty percent sure that, if the military forces confronted each other head-on, Cloud Sky City’s forces would definitely not be defeated.
Nevertheless, Lin Chen’s concern was not this point but that Zhangyang Country was teeming with strong individuals, and their top-level powerhouses far surpassed their own.
In the Jade Cauldron Kingdom, their top-level powerhouses consisted of only Lin Chen, Xu Ma’an, Li Hanyi, and, marginally, Li Xuanming. Furthermore, Su Yingzhou, the president of Haiyue Commerce, had formally joined the Jade Cauldron Kingdom and became a guest Elder Qing of the Jade Cauldron Sect.
And Su Yingzhou was the only individual in Jade Cauldron Kingdom who had genuinely reached the Heavenly Human Realm.
