Lawful Tyrant

Chapter 166 Promote
Metropolitan area, inner circle B area, No. 16 Asia Street.

Fu's Mansion.

Under the silent night, amidst the red and purple neon lights, more than a dozen young men and women in uniform, led by a man who looked like a manager, walked into the mansion along the gravel path in the courtyard.

Covered by the holographic projection, the mansion is completely antique and retro. A young man in a loose robe is lazily leaning on the sofa, and next to him lies a huge white-browed tiger, curled up beside the young man like a cat.

"Master."

The steward said respectfully, "The group of students you selected from Star Union University have arrived. Their appearance and height all meet your requirements."

Behind him, more than a dozen young men and women stood in a row in silence.

The young man in the nightgown raised his head lazily, looked at the young men and women opposite him, and nodded slightly with satisfaction: "Not bad, it's not easy to find someone with a scholarly temperament and good looks. The quality is pretty good. Keep them all."

He randomly ordered two people, "This one, and this one, send them to my room tonight."

"Yes."

The manager nodded respectfully and continued, "In addition, two people resisted too fiercely and have been cleared out. The Immigration Administration has also been notified. Before filing a case against these two people, they will be expelled from the metropolitan area first."

The young man in the nightgown nodded slightly and said, "Handle it properly and don't leave any handle. With father's status, it will be fine as long as it complies with the rules. We can't cause trouble for father either."

The young men and women all lowered their heads, listening to the young master of the Fu family talking about these dark methods so unscrupulously in front of them.

But what can they do?

The father of this young master of the Fu family is the patriarch of the Fu family, one of the twenty-four families!
The founders of the twenty-four companies were twenty-four earthlings who had followed the Zhixing Group before the establishment of the metropolitan area and had survived from the end of the world to the present.

The patriarch of the Fu family is the strongest person in the Fu family and the pillar of the Fu family. He is a big shot in the upper class even in the urban circle!
How could they possibly afford to offend these powerless little people?
"Send them all away." The young man in pajamas waved his hand.

After the young men and women, who looked like commodities, were sent away, the young man in the nightgown said, "Father will be released soon, right? What kind of gift do you think we should prepare?"

"Master, the master doesn't need any gifts."

The steward said: "If you can take up the rare priesthood, the master will be satisfied no matter what we give him."

"Rare priesthood..." The young man in nightgown shook his head and said, "How can it be that easy? Even if it is a rare priesthood, I can't compete with my elder brother, so why waste that energy? I just need to please my father. With my father's support, in two years I can pick a regular priesthood and become a citizen of the universe. In three years, I can also immigrate to Yuanchen civilization."

He sighed, "It's a pity that the quota for Zhixing Group still depends on the Yan family. I don't know when my father will be like Yan Qingqing."

"Master, be careful with your words!"

The steward frowned and said, "Although the patriarch is powerful, there are at least three people in the Yan family who are stronger than the patriarch, especially Yan Qingqing, who is a member of the Star Patrol Council and a primitive priest. It is said that she has passed the fifth level of the Star Abyss!"

"The fifth level of Xingyuan?" The young man in the nightgown had also heard of the Xingyuan Trial in the Star Transmission Tower. "What level is father on?"

"The third level." The steward shook his head and said, "The master of the family has obtained too few holy words, otherwise he would have a chance to pass the fourth level, and he would definitely pass the original priesthood trial."

"It's quite a difference..." The young man in nightgown sighed, "No wonder Zhixing Group values ​​the Yan family so much..."

The steward said: "The master is already preparing for the original priesthood trial, maybe in the future..."

"boom!!"

At this moment, a huge explosion suddenly sounded. The huge sound rushed up to the sky, but was blocked by the regional sound insulation system.

But the horrific sound of the explosion still echoed in the area.

"what happened?"

The young man in the nightgown's expression changed.

at the same time--

The wall of the mansion suddenly collapsed and shattered, and a phantom smashed the wall like a cannonball and flew out from the depths of the mansion.

The steward frowned slightly and stretched out his hand. Suddenly a stream of grey air blocked the phantom.

Then, his expression changed.

The phantom lifted by the airflow turned out to be a headless corpse!
"Homeowner?"

The steward looked at the corpse in disbelief. Judging from the clothes and accessories, this was clearly the head of the Fu family, the pillar of the family!
"Father?" The young man in pajamas was also confused.

How can this be?

at this time--

The invisible light suddenly spread out and completely enveloped the area. The terrifying oppression instantly solidified everything.

I saw a white-haired, three-eyed man with a cold expression appear in the courtyard at a terrifying speed, and then he glanced around.

Under the terrifying pressure and domain oppression, the young man in pajamas and the steward were like two insects frozen in amber, unable to move at all.

"died?"

The white-haired, three-eyed man frowned and glanced at the headless corpse, which immediately floated in front of him.

"call!"

At this time, another stream of light flew into the courtyard.

Each stream of light was actually a wise alien with three eyes between his eyebrows, and they all exuded an extremely terrifying aura of pressure!
"Fu Weihe was indeed killed."

"Mr. Envoy, have you found anything?"

"Hasn't the regional isolation system been activated? How did the murderer leave?"

"It's the same situation as last time..."

The top executives of Zhixing Group released their telekinesis one by one to investigate the situation at the scene.

At the same time, the huge fortress in the sky also shot out invisible rays of light from the air, repeatedly scanning the area.

"Fu Weihe's head was smashed by pure brute force, and his fourth-level starry sky battle suit also had signs of being torn."

The white-haired three-eyed man said in a cold voice: "According to the results of the simulation of the traces at the scene, the murderer either infiltrated with invisible telekinesis or had the ability to hide and sneak in, and attacked suddenly. The first blow tore through Fu Weihe's ability defense and the protection of the Starry Sky Battle Suit, and the second blow shattered his head."

"Two hits? Fu Weihe is only okay at the third level of Xingyuan. He only has two sets of holy words and is not good at defense. The murderer used two moves to kill him. He doesn't seem to be that strong."

"Perhaps those three did it on purpose? Don't you know Chu Hongjun's intentions?"

"If it was Elenado, with her telekinesis, she could disguise herself to this extent."

"Last time it was Yan Tianquan, this time it was Fu Weihe, why did they kill these two people?"

"The motive for Yan Tianquan's death can be explained, but what about Fu Weihe?"

"Motive? In the eyes of those three, the twenty-four families are dogs of our Zhixing Group, so there is nothing that cannot be killed."

"Confirm the plan as soon as possible and test those three people. I will arrange for the pirates to sneak into the earth."

The top executives of Zhixing Group communicated with each other through telepathy.

……

……

The Star Patrol Council Headquarters.

In the private room, Lin Qing sat cross-legged in the practice room with a smile on his face.

"Fu Weihe, you are indeed the weakest patriarch among the twenty-four families. After so many years, this is the only improvement you have made..."

In order to perform the duties of a priest, the Black Flame clone needs to kill and sacrifice souls. If it is a high-level primitive creature, there is also basic priesthood, so just one is enough.

That's why he chose Fu Weihe, the weakest among the twenty-four families, so that he would have the greatest chance of killing him.

“No one’s watching.”

Lin Qing released the realm of the false god, and after confirming that no one was spying, he immersed his consciousness in the Gate of Eternity in his mind.

A spot of light flew out from between his eyebrows, quickly enlarged, and turned into a black flame clone.

"boom!"

The vast invisible will came crashing down and swept across the black flame clone.

In a trance, the Black Flame clone saw the huge ancient altar again, and the strange transparent vessel on the altar. The vessel was filled with colorful light mixed with scarlet, which occupied more than half of the vessel's capacity.

Then, a ray of colorful light mixed with scarlet fell from the sky and poured directly into the blood vessel.

The scarlet colorful light in the vessel also grew higher, filling the transparent vessel in the blink of an eye.

At the moment the vessel was filled, the scarlet colorful light turned into an illusory crystal, penetrated the void, followed an invisible trajectory, and instantly sank into the mind of the Black Flame clone.

A little bit of colorful light was poured into the vessel again. The scene before my eyes disappeared without a trace, as if it were an illusion.

"Okay?"

The Black Flame clone could clearly sense the illusory crystal in his mind.

As long as he is willing, he can experience the evolutionary process that suits him best at any time, and transform into a sixth-level life form - a higher primitive creature - with the sixth-level energy that suits him best.

Although it is just an experience, as long as you can sense all kinds of sixth-level energies and as long as your understanding is sufficient, just one experience may be enough to promote the transformation of your life.

"Try it."

Lin Qing did not hesitate either.

The Black Flame clone immediately used his consciousness to trigger the illusory crystal in his mind.

The next moment, invisible illusory power instantly permeated his body and began to evolve an illusory process of life transformation. With the help of the priesthood, there seemed to be a sixth-level energy of the life system, which made his life level continue to transform in a special and wonderful way.

After a while, the illusory transformation of evolution was over.

Lin Qing recalled the illusory experience just now, and at the same time, the black flame clone burned wildly, raising his comprehension to the maximum.

Now that the Black Flame clone has engraved the holy words "Source of Life", his vitality can support him to burn at full strength for about three minutes.

After burning dozens of lives in succession, the Black Flame clone finally understood the detailed method of transforming the life level to the sixth energy level.

"It's quite simple..."

Lin Qing nodded secretly, "The priesthood can really promote the transformation of life..."

Of course, it was also because the Black Flame clone was strong enough, otherwise it would be too difficult to kill two people of a higher level.

Moreover, the key lies in his ability to sense high-level energy. Otherwise, if he relies on the experience of priesthood to evolve, it is unknown how many times he will have to experience it before he can truly succeed.

"It turns out that this kind of energy is most suitable for the evolution of the Black Flame Clone..."

Lin Qing sighed inwardly.

There are thousands of sixth energies, and he is not sure which one is the most useful, but the evolution of the priesthood has brought him the most correct path.

"It's the same for the commander of the army. He needs to rely on the priests to help him find the most suitable method of evolution..."

Lin Qing's black flame clone immediately began to familiarize himself with the corresponding sixth level energy.

Once it becomes familiar with it, the Black Flame clone will probably be able to transform into a sixth-level life form.

At that time, with the most appropriate sixth-level energy, both the clerical abilities and the holy texts will be upgraded to the sixth level.

"The current Black Flame clone should be able to easily pass the third level of Xingyuan, and even be considered the best among them. Once all aspects are upgraded to the sixth level..."

Lin Qing couldn't help but feel a little excited.

According to his estimation, as long as the Black Flame clone was fully prepared in all aspects, it would be no problem for him to pass through the fourth level of the Star Abyss.

Of course, this is only the most suitable evolution method for the Black Flame clone.

Rather than his own.

"Next, it's my turn."

Lin Qing thought to himself: "It all depends on the plan arranged by Chu Hongjun..."

It just so happens that during this period of time, I can first upgrade the Black Flame clone.

There are so many sets of holy texts that it would take too long to engrave them all in a short period of time even with the Star Source Stones, but there is still time to improve the priesthood abilities and other aspects.

……

A week later.

“…That’s the plan.”

In the 'Conference Room' of the Second Universe Network, Chu Hongjun glanced at Lin Qing and said, "The opportunity has been created for you. Whether you can succeed depends on you."

Lin Qing couldn't help but say, "I thought you were going to arrange two targets like Yan Tianquan or Fu Weihe, but I didn't expect that there were dozens of people of the same level?"

He is a primitive creature. If he wants to evolve with the help of the power of the Military Commander, he must kill dozens of primitive creatures who also have a divine basis and seize their life source. If he wants to kill those at a higher level, killing two may be enough.

Either quantity or quality.

But he didn’t expect... the plan Chu Hongjun arranged for him was actually about quantity?
"Are you sure you can handle dozens of people of the same level?"

Chu Hongjun glanced at Lin Qing.

"Do these dozens of people have holy texts?" Lin Qing asked.

“Very few.” Chu Hongjun said, “Most of them barely have the strength of the second level of Xingyuan.”

"That shouldn't be difficult." Lin Qing nodded.

Compared with other primitive creatures who possess basic priesthood, his advantages are rare priesthood, holy texts, and the domain of pseudo-god.

Therefore, his original body was able to pass through the third level of Star Abyss.

One level higher, that’s a huge gap.

Even if he was dealing with dozens of people, he was confident that he could kill them all - provided that these dozens of people did not have time to escape.

"Tomorrow, you will come to the No. 3 laboratory of the Liming Group."

Chu Hongjun looked at him and said, "In the name of the Liming Group, I will send an invitation to the Zhixing people and the original creatures of the twenty-four families to visit Laboratory No. 3. When the time comes, you will proceed according to the plan, and the door of Laboratory No. 3 will be sealed and closed by itself, and you can catch the turtle in the jar."

Lin Qing couldn't help but ask: "Is it that simple?"

This plan is too simple, isn't it?
Directly invite the target to the laboratory, then seal it off and catch the turtle in the jar?
Such a direct and simple plan almost made Lin Qing unable to believe it.

"Is there anything wrong with this plan?"

Chu Hongjun glanced at him and said, "I was just the planner. I didn't do it myself. It's not a breach of contract for you to do it. The process is also very simple."

"But... isn't this too blatant?" Lin Qing asked doubtfully.

"Even if Zhixing Group knows that I did it on purpose, so what?" Chu Hongjun asked back, "Aren't the people of Zhixing now suspecting that the three of us secretly helped you?"

Lin Qing pondered for a moment and asked, "But what if Zhixing Group knows this is a trap and doesn't fall for it?"

"No, this is an open conspiracy."

Chu Hongjun said calmly: "If I do this, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among the investors of the Liming Group and reduce my authority. The Zhixing Group also understands this, so, in essence, there are two options before them-"

"Either, you sacrifice dozens of ordinary primitive creatures in exchange for my authority being reduced, or, for the sake of dozens of ordinary primitive creatures, you allow me to use the power of the Dawn Group."

He glanced at Lin Qing and said, "Based on my understanding of Zhixing Group, they will definitely choose the former. To them, what are the lives of dozens of primitive creatures?"

"But... isn't it too much of a loss to weaken Dean Chu's authority because of this matter?" Lin Qing couldn't help but ask.

"It doesn't matter. You have to pay the price."

Chu Hongjun said calmly: "I am the dean of Liming Research Institute, not the chairman of Liming Group. I have always planned to leave Liming Group."

……

The next day.

Lin Qing arrived outside the No. 3 laboratory of the Liming Group in advance. As planned, more than eighty people agreed to the invitation sent by Chu Hongjun in the name of the Liming Group.

These people were either from Zhixing Group or from the Twenty-Four Companies. Most of them were unaware of the danger of this trip, had never thought about the deeper meaning of it, and went straight into the laboratory.

In order to prevent any accidents, Lin Qing deliberately let the Black Flame clone hide outside to avoid being caught in one fell swoop.

As long as the Black Flame clone is still there, he can be resurrected even if his original body dies.

Afterwards, they entered the huge and empty Laboratory No. 3.

Following Chu Hongjun's instruction, Lin Qing pretended to steal the research results of Laboratory No. 3, and the Laboratory No. 3 area immediately entered a blockade state with the signal cut off.

Chu Hongjun seemed not to see it. He turned his back to the door of Laboratory No. 3, looked at the sky outside the window, and waited quietly.

Thirty seconds later.

Lin Qing walked out of Laboratory No. 3 unscathed, and found Chu Hongjun's back still there, and immediately said, "Dean Chu, kill them all."

Chu Hongjun turned his head slightly and asked, "Is that enough?"
