One skill point per second, I turn fireballs into forbidden spells.

Chapter 688 Lin Yi, are you even human? You're bringing trouble upon yourself!
Given Xi Yue and Xiao Ao Shu's current status in Xiang Wu Xing, exchanging this material with equivalent items should not be difficult.

Just as Xi Yue was counting the number of her creations, the space in front of her suddenly distorted.

This drew her attention, along with that of Xiao Aoshu.

"Brother Lin Yi, you're back?"

Seeing the person she had been longing for appear, Xiao Ao Shu no longer indulged in pleasure. Barefoot, she skipped towards Lin Yi and jumped directly into his arms.

"Why are you the only one who came back? Where is the Martial Emperor?"

Xi Yue walked in gracefully, with an air of elegance and poise.

Under the meticulous arrangement of Xiang Wuxing's attendants, a custom-made wide-sleeved fairy dress made of gold thread was draped over her body, which was said to be the highest etiquette for Xiang Wuxing, a distinguished guest.

Xi Yue didn't refuse, and even put on some light makeup like the beauties of the era. You know what? It completely masked her heroic and dashing temperament, and her graceful appearance was so captivating that people couldn't take their eyes off her.

"Does it look good?"

Seeing Lin Yi's surprised expression, Xi Yue couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.

A woman dresses up for the man who appreciates her, and nothing is more gratifying than receiving his approval.

Life is nothing more than food and sex. Lin Yi never boasted of being a hermit, and it was nothing shameful for him to be unable to take his eyes off his beautiful wife.

"It looks great! But that's not the point. The point is, we need to run away."

The moment Lin Yi spoke, he used [Light and Shadow Mark] to mark all the maids present, and instantly activated the [Light and Shadow Interweaving] skill, teleporting them to a place dozens of miles away from the Martial Emperor's Palace.

"Huh? How could this happen? Weren't you all talking smoothly? Where did things go wrong and you started fighting?"

Previously, in order to prevent Wu Juedian from seeing through the two women's thoughts through the Law of Truth, Lin Yi deliberately concealed what Wu Juedian and the three elders had done to Tian Shu Pavilion.

Only now have they revealed everything in just a few words.

“There’s no time. I’ve issued an order in the name of Wu Juedian to gather all the Spirit Awakening Stones in Martial Emperor City as soon as possible. We’ll pack them up and take them with us. Also, we have to take Zhang Yun with us. Xiang Wuxing won’t be back for a while.”

"Given what we've done to Xiang Wuxing, killing her ten thousand times wouldn't be too lenient."

Being forced to leave one's homeland would be unpleasant for anyone, but Lin Yi was confident he could persuade Zhang Yun to leave willingly and settle temporarily on Blue Star.

Everything seemed extremely illogical.

Despite having the help of the Black Hou, Wu Jue Dian still longs for a breakthrough and is so eager for Lin Yi's skill points, which is truly puzzling.

However, there's no point in thinking about all this. Right now, I'm not strong enough to defeat the Black Hou. I'll just grab the loot and run.

The two women had no doubts about Lin Yi's orders. Xi Yue went with Lin Yi to handle the matter of the Spirit Awakening Stone, while Xiao Ao Shu was responsible for taking Zhang Yun away.

Two minutes later, all the servants in the Martial Emperor's Palace started running.

"Yes, that's it! Everyone, hurry up!"

Having received authorization from the Martial Peak, Lin Yi possessed rights second only to the Martial Peak in Xiangwu Star.

At his command, the servants sprang into action, searching the entire Martial Emperor City for every Spirit Awakening Stone.

After a long hour-long wait, 451 Spirit Awakening Stones of varying quality were piled up in front of Lin Yi.

"Lord Lin, these are all the Spirit Awakening Stones that could be gathered from the entire Martial Emperor City. We found nine top-grade stones in the palace, six of which were of the highest quality."

The chief steward of Wuhuang City was panting as he reported the compiled data to Lin Yi. He happened to arrive just as Lin Yi finished recounting everything he knew.

"No, that can't be! Uncle Wu wouldn't be that kind of person."

Zhang Yun was somewhat naive; her first reaction was that Lin Yi had made a mistake.

However, after carefully considering her experiences over the years, she realized that Wu Juedian was just a hypocrite.

"Xiao Yi, no, Brother Lin Yi, I beg you, I'll give you anything, everything I can give you, even if you want me to be your concubine, I beg you, please help me kill Wu Juedian."

As he spoke, he knelt down in front of the chief steward of the Martial Emperor's Palace.

This scene left the chief steward of the Martial Emperor's Palace completely stunned.

He was certain he hadn't misheard. Zhang Yun was begging Lin Yi to kill Wu Juedian, which meant that Lin Yi was Xiang Wuxing's enemy!

"xiu~"

A whistle resounded throughout the Martial Emperor City, and the elite team hidden within the Martial Emperor Palace, whose average strength reached the level of a Blue Star War God, instantly assembled behind the Martial Emperor Palace's chief steward.

"Lord Zhao, what's going on?"

The leader of the Martial Emperor's Guard was somewhat taken aback by what he saw.

Who is he planning to target? Lin Yi is a distinguished guest of Xiang Wuxing, a figure second only to the emperor.

"Don't just stand there! I just heard Zhang Yun beg Lin Yi to kill the Martial Emperor. Why don't you hurry up and kill that outsider? He even ordered me to find so many Spirit Awakening Stones. Is he planning to run away with the stuff?!"

"No, the Martial Emperor went to his planet with him, and this kid came back alone. Maybe the Martial Emperor is trapped on his planet!"

After hearing the steward's words, the Martial Emperor Guards showed conflicted expressions.

Lin Yi's power and status were personally granted by the Martial Peak, making him highly credible. If someone were to make a mistake and rashly attack Lin Yi, they might not be able to bear the consequences of being held accountable by the Martial Emperor.

"You bunch of idiots, stop standing there! Don't you know how many years I've served the Martial Emperor's Palace? Hurry up and do it! If this is a misunderstanding, I'll take full responsibility for everything!"

Seeing that the Imperial Guards remained unmoved, Chief Steward Zhao grew anxious and even risked his life. Only then did the Imperial Guards pick up their weapons and surround Lin Yi.

"Lord Lin Yi, please forgive me!"

Lin Yi didn't care at all. After a slight smile, he directly unleashed his Eternal Law.

"Don't offend me. You're no match for me. I already feel bad for tricking you into doing such a big thing for me. If I were to get beaten half to death by you, would I, Lin Yi, still be human?"

"How about this, I'll send that old man from Martial Peak back later. If he blames you after I send him back, just put all the blame on me, okay? I, Lin Yi, will take responsibility for my own actions."

The attendants and Imperial Guards all looked puzzled: ? ? ?

Do you want to hear what you're saying? Is this even human speech?
If you could avoid punishment by shifting the blame onto yourself, where would all these people in the world come from to report on their duties to the country?

As he spoke, Lin Yi took all the Spirit Stones and the three women into his Necromancer Space. Then he activated the [Unprotected Certificate], tore open the space in front of him, and finally disappeared into it.

On the planet Devouring Shadows, a horrific massacre is unfolding.

The Shadow Devourer King, now in human form, had a ferocious expression and cursed incessantly in his mind: Where did these damned humans come from? Are they trying to destroy my Shadow Devourer Star?
What this brought was clearly a bloodthirsty beast that had gone mad!
