Samsara Paradise: Dream Weaver of Connections.

"Lady Theresa, you and I both know that this kind of thing is not uncommon in the camp. Why do we have to fight to the death and end up with both sides destroyed?" Modi looked normal on the surface, but his unconsciously clenched right hand still revealed his inner uneasiness.

The reason why Modi had a tough confrontation with Theresa here was entirely to buy more time for his sister to escape.

The Lingyin family does occupy a high position in the territory and the church.

But if the Lingyin family really breaks away from the territory completely, it will be in trouble.

Unless the church is willing to pay a huge price to rescue the Lingyin family.

But in fact, the reason why the Lingyin family can have the current high status is largely because they control the logistics department of the territory.

Once they leave this support, the Lingyin family will lose the foundation for survival.

"Do you think these little tricks can pose a threat to us? If you still refuse to repent, your destruction is only a matter of time." Theresa looked at the slaughtered guards indifferently.

Although these are the armed forces of the territory, not every force is worth Theresa's efforts to preserve.

This situation is like a poisonous sore on the body. The sooner it is dealt with, the better.

Since the Lingyin family built a castle, the people brought by Theresa could only surround the outside to prevent the people inside from escaping.

About a quarter of an hour later, the sound of hurried horse hooves came from afar.

Moti looked up and saw a group of knights galloping towards them.

The leading knight was wearing silver armor and was the reinforcement coming from the territory.

Seeing this scene, Modi's face became extremely ugly.

In front of the regular army of the territory, the little resistance that the Lingyin family had was too small to withstand a single blow.

"Modi, you are at the end of your rope now, just surrender!"

Modi was desperate, but still unwilling to give up.

He raised the signal transmitter in his hand and tried to send a distress signal to the church, hoping to get the church's assistance and help the Lingyin family escape from the current desperate situation.

Just as Modi raised the signal transmitter, two fireworks exploded simultaneously not far from the Lingyin family castle.

Modi was shocked. Judging from the direction, these two places were most likely the residences of the Bell family and the Balk family.

If even these two families could not avoid the fate of purge, the Lingyin family would definitely not be able to escape the fate of destruction.

"Hey, sister, I've reminded you a long time ago that those of us who waver between the two sides will be liquidated sooner or later." Modi threw away the signal transmitter in his hand. As the second in command of the Lingyin family, he knew that the top leaders in the territory were definitely prepared to prevent attacks from the church. The backup plan he prepared was probably useless.

In the dark underground passage, Jasmine Suzune, the head of the Suzune family, was curled up and preparing to leave the territory.

It is said that a cunning rabbit has three burrows. As the head of the Lingyin family, Jasmine Lingyin was naturally well prepared and had planned various escape routes in advance.

Jasmine Lingyin walked cautiously along the dark and damp underground passage, surrounded by a smell of decay.

She was filled with resentment. She had originally thought that with the protection of the church, she and her family would prosper and embark on a path of prosperity.

But who could have imagined that he would end up in such a miserable situation.

When Jasmine Lingyin walked out of the exit, the scene before her made her feel like she was falling into an ice cellar.

A group of people in black surrounded the exit, led by Kepeljeen's deputy, Tariel Carlson.

Jasmine Lingyin never imagined that at the end of this underground escape passage, Capell Jean had already arranged a large number of people to wait there.

All the major families have always been the focus of Keppel Jean's surveillance.

By paying close attention to and analyzing the details of material allocation and the daily activities of personnel, Capell Jean had already deduced the approximate locations of the escape routes of the major families through various clues.

It can be said that Keppel Jean has already drawn up a huge and detailed map in his mind of the distribution of underground passages in the entire territory.

If necessary, she would be able to use these escape routes to sneak into the enemy's territory without being noticed and launch a deadly decapitation operation.

Talil Carlson looked at Jasmine Lingyin coldly, his eyes revealing contempt: "Jasmine, do you think you can escape? From the moment you betrayed the territory, this ending was destined."

Jasmine Lingyin gritted her teeth and tried to make a final struggle: "Carlson, don't get carried away here. The power of the church is beyond your imagination. They will never let you go. As long as I can leave here alive, all of you will have to pay the price for what you did today!"

Upon hearing this, Talil Carlson couldn't help but sneer, and the laughter was full of ridicule and disdain: "Relying on a bunch of traitors like you and the high and mighty church? It's simply a foolish dream. Do you think that those little tricks you did behind the adults' backs can really be concealed from the world?"

Jasmine Lingyin looked around and saw that she was surrounded by men in black.

She knew in her heart that in this desperate situation, there was no possibility of escape.

Jasmine Lingyin slumped on the ground helplessly, tears flowing uncontrollably from her eyes.

Her voice trembled, as if she was defending herself, or as if she was just mumbling to herself: "I... I did this for my family. The church promised to give us a better future..."

Talil Carlson stepped forward and looked down at Jasmine Lingyin: "For the family? You are so naive. Do you think the church will sincerely treat you who betrayed their territory well? Don't fool yourself."

After saying that, Tariel Carlson waved her arm, and the man in black behind her immediately understood what she meant. He held Jasmine Lingyin's arms with both hands and forcibly held her up.

"Take them away. When things are settled, hand these traitors over to you, adults, and let you deal with them accordingly." Talil Carlson said coldly.

On the other hand, with the arrival of reinforcements from the territory, the resistance force led by Modi collapsed instantly and was completely powerless to resist.

Unexpectedly, after the army entered the castle, Modi did not fight to the death as everyone expected.

Instead, he dropped his weapon and surrendered.

"Modi, you are a man who knows how to deal with current affairs." Theresa looked at Modi who was escorted to her by the soldiers, with an indescribable complex emotion in her tone.

Modi lowered his head, his once neat hair now scattered messily across his face, hiding most of his expression.

He said softly: "The situation is over, what's the point of resisting?"

Just as Teresa was leading the team to count the assets of the Lingyin family, a soldier nearby suddenly reported: "Sir, we found some strange empty bottles in the basement of the castle."

Hearing this, Theresa immediately led everyone to the basement.

In the corner of the basement, there were several huge boxes neatly placed.

Everyone opened the box and found it was filled with all kinds of bottles and jars.

"Is this the potion that the church used to attack the Wall of Living some time ago?" Theresa picked up a bottle of potion and took a look, and found that the smell of this potion was exactly the same as the potion that the church had used on the battlefield before.

"These damn traitors!" Theresa couldn't help but curse under her breath.

Looking at the empty boxes in the basement, Theresa understood that all these potions were secretly provided to the church by the Lingyin family.

Theresa had previously been a little skeptical as to why the church had so many resources.

Looking back now, it is not surprising what happens in the hands of the church after being betrayed by the termites.

In the corner of the basement, Theresa found a tattered account book.

Some transaction details were recorded crookedly on it, including date, quantity of medicine, delivery location and other information.

Theresa flipped through the account book quickly, and her expression became more serious with each page she turned.

Judging from the contents of the account book, this transaction between the Lingyin family and the church has been going on for quite a long time.

The amount of materials involved is beyond imagination. If all of these materials are used to deal with the territory, the consequences will be disastrous.

After the resistance of the Lingyin family was completely crushed, Lin Yi went straight to the treasure house of the Lingyin family.

Lin Yi doesn't care about the dispute between the Lingyin family and the territory.

There is a ban on the door of the treasury. This ban was originally used to prevent outsiders from breaking in. Once an outsider triggers it, an alarm will be sounded.

But now all the members of the Lingyin family have been taken away, so this ban is useless.

Lin Yi walked forward and placed his palm on the door.

The power of the abyss continued to penetrate into the gate through his palms. Under the erosion of the power of the abyss, the restrictions quickly melted away and became ineffective.

Pushing open the door of the treasury, Lin Yi discovered that the treasury of the Lingyin family was filled with various gems, armor and weapons.

It can be seen that as the quartermaster of the territory, the Lingyin family has been enriching themselves for a long time.

Lin Yi walked deeper into the treasury and found a box on the shelf in the treasury.

The box was covered by a magic shield. Lin Yi once again activated the power of the abyss. The shield gradually rippled under the erosion and then dissipated. He opened the box and found more than a dozen soul crystals neatly placed inside.

[Hint: The hunter obtains Soul Crystal (Large) × 8, Soul Crystal (Complete) × 3. ]

In the territory, the Lingyin family's inventory is already quite large.

Most of the soul crystals of the families have been purchased by the top leaders to be used as sacrifices to the Phoenix, so that the number of soul crystals left in the entire territory is now extremely scarce.

Afterwards, Lin Yi searched the treasure house for other supplies of the Lingyin family, but found that they were all unsightly things.

Although these weapons and armor are of considerable value according to the standards of the Red Sky Continent, to Lin Yi, they are no different from scrap metal.

After completing the search, Lin Yi found Teresa and told her that there were a large number of weapons and armor in the Lingyin family treasury.

Upon hearing the news, Theresa almost jumped up with excitement.

At present, supplies in the territory are extremely scarce, and these supplies are undoubtedly a timely relief.

Teresa immediately turned around and loudly directed her soldiers: "Quick, transport all those new weapons and armor to the military warehouse, and move quickly!"

For Theresa, this batch of harvest from the Lingyin family's treasury really solved her urgent needs.

Just when Lin Yi thought that the matter was over, suddenly, a deafening noise came from the distance.

Lin Yi looked in the direction where the sound came from and found that it was the direction of the Wall of Living Beings.

Theresa was also startled by the sudden loud noise. She reacted quickly and immediately led a team of well-trained elite soldiers to rush towards the sound.

When they arrived at the Wall of Living Beings, the scene before them was chaos.

I saw that a small section of the wall of living things had collapsed, which was estimated to be fifty meters long.

Teresa was extremely worried. She grabbed a soldier and asked, "What happened? Why did the Wall of Living Beings suddenly collapse?"

Just at this moment, a soldier came running and reported loudly: "Sir, we found some strange powder nearby."

Lin Yi took a look at the powder handed over by the soldier and immediately recognized what it was. "This is the powder produced by the explosion of high-level contaminated spores. Sorry for the trouble."

As expected, as Lin Yi finished speaking, countless low-level polluted bodies walked out from the darkness of the Heichuan Forest.

This time, since the wall of living things has collapsed, everyone must fight against the polluted bodies rushing up in this open area.

Facing the low-level polluted bodies that were pouring in like a tide, Teresa contacted other people while commanding her soldiers: "Keep the formation, don't panic! Spearmen go in front and form a shield wall, archers prepare for long-range shooting!"

As the contaminated body approached step by step, the spearmen acted quickly, moved closely together, raised their spears at an angle with the tips facing outward, and formed a line of defense.

The archers drew their bows, pulled the bowstrings to their full potential, and aimed the arrows at the contaminated objects in front of them.

"shoot!"

The archers let go and shot their arrows, which rained down on the polluted bodies.

For a moment, the sound of arrowheads breaking through the air was endless, and many contaminated objects were hit, making bursts of roars.

As the territory had just repelled a wave of attacks by polluted bodies, a large number of troops were withdrawn for strategic adjustments in preparation for a rotation of defense.

Realizing that the situation was critical, Lin Yi took two steps back and tried to summon the Black Shadow Army to assist in defense.

But at this moment, one of Theresa's men suddenly rushed towards Lin Yi and tore up the hidden scroll in his hand.

As the power of space surged, Lin Yi was teleported to an unknown area.

Lin Yi opened his eyes and found himself in an abandoned castle.

This abandoned castle was filled with an air of decay. Its walls were covered with moss and there were some shabby furniture placed around it. It looked particularly eerie in the dim light.

Not far away, several figures in black robes were standing quietly.

They were wearing hoods and their faces could not be seen clearly, but from the strange aura emanating from their figures, it could be judged that these people were the followers of the Lord of Pollution.

"Sir, it's this guy." The man who had just teleported Lin Yi here had a flattering smile on his face and trotted up to several men in black robes.

One of the men in black robes casually raised his hand and pointed to a room at the back. The man immediately understood, nodded hurriedly, and then hurriedly left the place.

"Tell me, why could the soldiers you summoned before ignore the power of my Lord." A believer with a twisted arm came to Lin Yi.

During the previous battle, the Church of the Lord of Pollution had already noticed the uniqueness of the Black Shadow Legion.

In their view, if the Church of the Lord of Pollution could control the Black Shadow Legion, a unique force that was not affected by pollution, then the entire continent would fall under the control of the church.

The Church of the Lord of Pollution thought they were hunters, but they didn't know that in Lin Yi's eyes, they were the real prey.

Lin Yi ignored this group of people. After confirming that there was no one else here, Lin Yi shook his wrist. Huge tentacles spread out from his body and instantly blocked the entire castle.

One of the men in black robes chanted a spell and released a black flame towards Lin Yi.

Lin Yi flashed and easily avoided the attack while commanding Xiaoxue's tentacles to attack the man in black robe.

The tentacles instantly bound the man in black, and no matter how he struggled, he could not break free.

The black-robed man had a ferocious look on his face: "Hmph, don't even think about getting any information from me! You can't resist the will of the Lord of Pollution!"

"It's already this time, why are you pretending? If you are really not afraid of death, would you join the church?" Hearing the other party's words, Lin Yi's face showed a hint of sarcasm.

Most of the believers in the Church of the Lord of Pollution are cowards who are greedy for life and afraid of death.

Otherwise, how could one be willing to live in such a twisted manner?

After being poked in the weak spot by Lin Yi, the black-robed man trembled slightly, and a trace of pain and struggle flashed across his face, but it was soon replaced by ferocity: "Shut up! You don't understand the greatness of the Lord of Pollution. He will lead us into a new era, and all of you rebels will be destroyed!"

"New Era? He brings only disaster and suffering. Do you think that becoming a believer of the Lord of Pollution will bring you protection? In his eyes, everything in the world is a nutrient, even you, his believers, are no exception."

Lin Yi knew the characteristics of the ancient gods very well. In the eyes of the ancient gods, the entire world was nourishment for them to absorb.

The so-called church members are nothing more than a part of the food for the ancient gods.

It is for this reason that Lin Yi feels that most people who believe in ancient gods have problems with their brains.

"You are trying to sow discord!"

"Shut up! You are not allowed to slander the Lord of Pollution!"

"Kill him and make him pay for his words!"

The slogans of these church members were loud and clear, but no one dared to approach Lin Yi to rescue the black-robed man who was tied up by Xiaoxue.

These church members value their lives very much, so how could they rush to the front and become cannon fodder?

Lin Yi looked at this group of black-robed men who looked fierce but were actually weak, and a mocking arc appeared on his lips. "Why, is this the extent of your loyalty to the Lord of Pollution?"

The bishop standing on the high ground had a terribly gloomy face. He knew the character of these subordinates too well. On normal days, they could act arrogantly by relying on their numbers, but when it came to a life-and-death moment, few of them had the courage.

"What a bunch of rubbish!" the bishop couldn't help cursing.

When the others heard the bishop's scolding, they did not take it seriously at all and just ignored it. They thought it was better to be scolded than to rush forward and die in vain.

As the bishop chanted the spell, the temperature in the castle suddenly dropped, a layer of black frost began to spread on the ground, and twisted runes appeared on the walls.

"Let me show you the power of my Lord."

The black frost spread extremely quickly and climbed up Xiaoxue's tentacles in the blink of an eye. Wherever it went, it corroded and produced wisps of black smoke.

"Under the gaze of the Lord of Pollution, you and your men will be reduced to ashes." A twisted look of satisfaction appeared on the bishop's face, and he waved the staff in his hand again.

As he moved, the runes on the wall glowed brighter, and a huge black vortex slowly emerged in the air above the castle.

Suddenly, a huge, scaly arm stretched out from the vortex and grabbed Lin Yi.

Lin Yi retreated quickly and avoided the attack in a very thrilling way.

The giant hand grabbed the ground, instantly creating five deep grooves on the ground.

Immediately afterwards, several monsters of various shapes emerged from the whirlpool, their bodies twisted, emitting a disgusting stench, and pounced towards Lin Yi and Xiaoxue.

A spider-like monster jumped onto Xiaoxue's tentacle and tried to bite through it with its sharp mouthparts, but Xiaoxue threw it hard against the wall and then swallowed it. (End of this chapter)
