Godslayer: A random filename extension?

The light of the Xuanyuan Sword shone on the ghost city, illuminating every ghost with merit.

The Emperor of Fengdu's imperial robes and the Yama clone lurking here both sensed this situation.

However, neither of them made any unusual moves. After all, this action was very beneficial to the former, as it reduced the pressure on it to maintain the operation of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, while the latter's goal was to kill the reincarnation of the Fengdu Emperor and plunder the last fragment of Fengdu.

"It's so warm, thank you, big brother."

The family of three in front of Lin Linhou naturally transformed into specks of light and were reincarnated.

At the same time, wisps of willpower were also gathering towards the Xuanyuan Sword high in the sky.

"Humanity prospers! The Human Emperor lives on forever!"

Ultimately, nearly 30% of the wandering souls in Fengdu were reincarnated during this wave of deliverance.

This is the limit that Lin Linhou can currently achieve. It's not that the remaining 70% of the ghosts are completely devoid of merit, but rather that they bear more calamities than merit.

These are the kind of ghosts who need to endure some form of torture before they can be reincarnated, so the light of salvation from the Xuanyuan Sword did not include them.

When the Xuanyuan Sword returned to Lin Linhou's hands, he had a vague feeling.

The laws within this sword seem to be just a hair's breadth away from being fully repaired, and it is about to truly regain its status as a divine artifact.

[After all, this wave of salvation involved hundreds of millions of lost souls. With such a massive amount of vows and merits gathered, it's only natural that it achieved this effect.]

"Poor me, I'm going to be bedridden for several days straight."

Why do I often feel like my body is "completely drained"? But thankfully, at least I didn't faint this time.

After this brief interlude, Lin Linhou continued to lead the group forward, sword in hand, asking for directions as they went.

Finally, they arrived at the palace of Luo Feng Liu Tian. According to the Yin soldiers, the ant demon had escaped here, but just then, the light of the Xuanyuan Sword appeared, and the Yin soldiers were required to perform the kneeling ceremony, thus allowing the ant to escape.

The other party is very likely hiding in one of the palaces in front of us.

"Six palaces, how should we search them? Should we split up?"

Li Deyang's sense of unease grew stronger. At this moment, all he wanted was to finish the mission as soon as possible and go back to check on his father and daughter's safety.

Moreover, if they don't split up, it's easy for the queen ant to slip through their fingers. For example, she might have been hiding in the third palace, but when everyone finished searching the first palace and went to search the second, she might have run from the third palace to the first palace.

“These palaces are strange. Even with the doors open, mental probes cannot penetrate them. The only thing that can be determined is that the queen ant is either not outside the palace or is perched on a rooftop.”

Lin Qiye scanned the surrounding area but found no trace of the queen ant.

"Unfortunately, I can only ask for directions, and I have no right to give orders to those ghost soldiers."

Lin Linhou looked at the Xuanyuan Sword in his hand and sighed helplessly.

This concern is actually easy to resolve. Just have a few ghost soldiers stand guard at a distance, and ask the ant queen whether she has appeared or fled each time the group comes out.

Although they cannot get close to these palaces, they are more than capable of serving as eyes and ears from afar.

"Should I leave some clones here?"

Fifth Star Bell stated that she has now reached the Chuan Realm and can create 3 Pool Realm, 6 Lamp Realm, and 6 ordinary human clones.

There are a total of 15 clones, with three clones monitoring each palace, which is enough to confirm the queen's movements from all angles.

Everyone:...

(? ? ?||)...How terrifying that one person can form an army.

"Xingling, won't your ordinary human clone freeze to death in the underworld? The yin energy here is extremely heavy."

"Staying there for too long might be possible, but even if they dissipate, their clones can replenish them. If they don't fight and are just used as watchtowers, their power can last for quite a while."

"That's all we can do now."

After all, if we don't act in concert, there is a high possibility that something unexpected could happen.

Although the queen ant was seriously injured, that happened half a day ago. Who knows if she has a way to recover quickly?

Even if the opponent has only recovered to the strength of a half-step Sea Realm, then apart from myself and Lin Qiye, who can be said to have a sure victory, the rest of the team are in a very precarious situation.

After all, everyone's strength in the Chuanjing realm has only recently advanced and is still quite weak.

Besides, their goal was to capture, not kill.

A few minutes later, all of Fifth Star Bell's surveillance clones were in place.

Lin Qiye also brought out Li Yifei and Ah Zhu, since there would be a few seconds of downtime during the dissipation and regeneration of the Fifth Star Bell's ordinary human clones, and the two of them could roam around as a supplement.

"Everything is ready, let's go! We'll search them one by one!"

The seven people stepped directly into the nearest palace.

…Ping~bang~clang~clang~ding~dong~Duang~…

Ten minutes into the fierce battle...

"Finally won! I'm exhausted."

Baili Pangpang lay down on the ground without any regard for his image, and the others did the same.

"Why don't these bronze-armored soldiers give face to the Xuanyuan Sword in your hand, brother? But thankfully, they're not as sturdy as I imagined."

Lin Qiye was the first to recover. He got up and joined Lin Linhou in sweeping up the battlefield. Although these bronze puppets had been dismantled, they could still be packed up and handed over to the Night Watchmen for research.

Their mode of operation, which is driven by the souls of ordinary soldiers, could be a great help to the Night's Watch in its fight against the mysterious if thoroughly understood.

Ten minutes ago, Lin Linhou led the group into the main hall with his sword, only to be immediately attacked by the three hundred bronze puppets.

Moreover, these puppets are quite powerful in combat. At least in terms of defense, no one can break through their defenses. However, their attack power is only slightly stronger than that of ordinary people, at most at the Zhan Realm level.

After all, the souls that drive them are at most at the realm of Zhanjing, and most of them are ordinary people.

During the stalemate, only Lin Linhou's Xuanyuan Sword could deliver the souls inside the bronze armors one by one. Once these armors lost the souls that wore them, they immediately scattered on the spot.

After all, their internal bodies had long since decayed completely.

It took quite a bit of time to finally take down all the enemies.

Now, scattered bronze armor is everywhere in this hall.

"Their souls seem to have lost much of their consciousness; they are merely mechanically executing a command to attack us. Therefore, the deterrent effect of the Xuanyuan Sword is ineffective against these characters who are like Deadpool soldiers."

After all, the power of the emperor is not absolute. Even someone as powerful as Qin Shi Huang sometimes had to walk around a pillar, didn't he?

"Now, all that's left is this dark red wooden coffin. We don't know what's inside. Should I open it or should you?"

After the two put away all the bronze armor, they came to the wooden coffin, and Lin Qiye asked Lin Linhou for his opinion.

After all, in such a large palace, apart from those bronze soldiers, there is only this one coffin. It's impossible that there aren't any treasures inside.

Although prying open a coffin seems impolite.

But since we're already here, and the mental probe on the coffin is ineffective anyway, the queen ant is hiding inside, isn't she?

"You drive. I'm more capable. I'll be in charge of guarding. Oh, and just in case, let the others back off first."

After all, according to the usual pattern, there is a high possibility that a giant zombie, vampire, drought demon or something similar could suddenly jump out of such an unknown coffin.

Or it could be poisonous insects, poisonous gas, or dangerous explosives.

It's not uncommon for them to simply open the lid and offer a prize, or even create a vortex that sucks everyone present into a secret space.

Better safe than sorry. Tomb raiding is something that requires extreme caution, let alone a tomb in a fantasy world.

Lin Linhou: Wait, something's not right?

('?') We're supposed to be here to catch the queen ant, right? How did we suddenly start robbing graves?
