Chapter 183   - 183: 183 Overlord (Guaranteed 1 more update)

Seeing Hua Cangtian fall, Dong Shencai took a deep breath: “Alright, I’ll go. But Lin Zhen, you killed three of my companions. We’re not done here.”

“That’s fine. There was unfinished business between me and Sky Dome anyway. Dong Shencai, you helped me to get rid of the hindrances before I left last time. I owe you one. Don’t make me change my mind.”

As he spoke, a dark gold light shone brighter in Lin Zhen’s eyes. Dong Shencai started to get severe headaches. She wanted to scream in pain, but couldn’t bring herself to do it in front of others. She could only bear with it.

A minute later, Lin Zhen withdrew his gaze and looked at Dong Shencai with a playful smile. freewebnov(e)l

Dong Shencai didn’t say another word. She turned around and left the hive. Now she could finally leave in peace – not that she was negligent, but her opponent was too strong. She was powerless to alter the current situation.

Overlord had dug his own grave. Let him clean up the mess he started.

The Four Gods of Sky Dome arrived at the hive in a dominant manner. However, three months later, only Dong Shencai returned while the remaining three were all killed by Lin Zhen. Dong Shencai was only spared because Lin Zhen decided to let her go. This made the martial artists realize Lin Zhen’s true strength.

Moreover, after this battle, those close to the Four Gods, including members from the East team and the West third team, were almost completely annihilated. What remained were mainly neutral martial artists or those who favored Lin Zhen.

About seventy to eighty people stood in a formation within the circle, not daring to breathe. They stayed far away from the deadly circle, making sure not even a fallen body would touch it.

Lin Zhen approached Jiang Huai and his team, “How are you guys holding up?

“We’re okay… Eating well, sleeping well, these wounds are nothing… It’s just that… seeing your power, I feel like I’ve been training a dog in vain all these days,” Jiang Huai rolled his eyes. He was completely astounded by Lin Zhen’s power.

Li Changying and Lou Qingfeng also assured that they were fine. But there was

always something strange in the way they looked at Lin Zhen, as if they were looking at a prehistoric beast.

Zhao Xiaoman didn’t think too much. She grabbed Lin Zhen’s hand and whipped out her phone to take a selfie with him. She wanted to brag about it later.

Zhao Xiaoman posed with a peace sign and hugged Lin Zhen. The martial artists on the side looked like dozens of wooden pillars, not moving a muscle.

After conversing with Jiang Huai and others for a while, Lin Zhen turned around to address the remaining martial artists.

“Many of you were incited by Tong Huan and his followers. I don’t blame you for that. I can even forget about the past incidents. But from now on, you have to follow my orders.”

The martial artists looked at each other, unsure of how to respond. “In a few days, I will attack Sky Dome. At that time, everyone will join me, not just the people from the hive but also those from the Ant Nest. I want to thoroughly overthrow the ruling class of the Star Fruit Tree. From now on, no one will extract star crystals, providing martial artists with a pure cultivating Holy Land.”

Upon hearing this, joy glistened on the martial artists’ faces. They suffered a lot from having star crystals extracted. If it weren’t for the constant extraction, many of them might have already left.

As for attacking Sky Dome, they had no objections. As long as Sky Dome persisted, there would be no peace in the Star Fruit Tree. They probably wouldn’t have to face anyone significant. They would leave dealing with people like Overlord to Lin Zhen.

“If you agree with me now, you can walk out of this circle and return to cultivating. If you don’t agree, stay here.” Hearing Lin Zhen’s words, none of the martial artists wanted to stay. They quickly dispersed, cleaning up the battlefield as they left.

A few brave martial artists approached Lin Zhen: “Lin… Boss Lin… when are we going to attack Sky Dome?”

“Probably in about ten days. I still have a few things to take care of.”

“That’s great, if we can truly overthrow Sky Dome, I’d rather do it this once!”

“Me too, I’ve had enough of staying in the Star Fruit Tree. Overthrowing Sky Dome could save me a year of time. Maybe I could breakthrough to War God before turning thirty.”

“Xiao Li, wait for me! I’m coming home to marry you soon.”

The martial artists were ecstatic. They weren’t as terrified by Lin Zhen anymore. Fear slowly faded away from their faces.

Returning to their cave, Lin Zhen spoke to his companions: “In the next few days, I will fully absorb the Constant Star Crystals. Have the Ant Nest send over more Constant Star Crystals. I will strive to have another breakthrough within ten days. I have a feeling that Sky Dome won’t be able to wait much longer. It’s time to settle things.”

“Idol, don’t worry. I promise to gather all the Constant Star Crystals in the hive for you during this time. Everyone else will understand because the main force attacking Sky Dome will be you.”

“Okay, let’s do that. Once this is done, I might leave the Star Fruit Tree. What about you guys?” Lin Zhen asked his teammates.

“I might stay here a bit longer. My Dantian Qi compression is far from sufficient. I’m waiting for the Idol to take down Sky Dome so that I could absorb a Special stargem,” Jiang Huai giggled.

“Same here. I definitely can’t lose to this lad. I heard for every ten Special stargems that appear in Sky Dome, one of them is a twin Special stargem. I wonder if I would be lucky enough to encounter one,” Li Changying added.

After a moment of hesitation, Lou Qingfeng said: “I don’t think I’ll stay much longer. Given my aptitude, I think I’ll be done in about half a year.”

Zhao Xiaoman was torn: “I also want to cultivate for some time, but what should I do if I don’t see Brother Lin?”

“Haha, that’s not a problem. When you come out, Brother Lin will welcome

you.”

“Just welcoming me won’t do, there’s also dust-washing!” Zhao Xiaoman said. Lin Zhen was taken aback: “Isn’t that the same thing?”

“That’s not the same thing at all. ‘Washing away dust’ just means washing off the dirt on your body. Would you be so kind as to personally cleanse me, Brother Lin?” Zhao Xiaoman had a sly glint in her eyes.

“You little stinker, trying to flirt with your own brother? Forget about it. You’re all dirty. I’d never wash you.” Lin Zhen refused to take the bait, living so many years, had made him immune to Zhao Xiaoman’s antics.

“I’m not dirty! I wash with water every day; those guys are the filthy ones!” Zhao Xiaoman argued, her face blushing red.

Sky Dome, within the main hall of the palace.

Just inside the main entrance of the hall was a long red carpet leading all the way to the back of the palace, winding up the wooden steps to the base of a golden throne.

The great hall was held up by red wooden pillars, adorned with exquisite murals on the walls. The surrounding drapes hung low, swaying in the wind.

Dong Shencai stood about ten meters from the throne, his head lowered.

On the throne sat a man in his late twenties, slowly savoring a glass of red wine in his hand.

The man was casually dressed, but his outfit was meticulously designed. Even by today’s standards, his attire would never be out of fashion, since it was entirely custom- made.

The wine he was enjoying was brought from outside, tons of it. In his spare time from cultivation, he enjoyed good food and wine. When he first entered the Star Fruit Tree, the Space Rings of the Four Gods of Sky Dome were mostly filled with his personal belongings.

This is Yue Feng, the Little Overlord, a man both good-looking and decisive. “Shencai, is everything you reported true?” Yue Feng asked slowly. magic

“I dare not deceive Overlord. Lin Zhen is indeed powerful. He killed Hua free(w)ebnov(e)l

Cangtian and two others, and has declared he’ll soon visit Sky Dome.”

“Hmm … Teleportation… That could be quite troublesome.”

At that moment, a voice from the shadows asked, “Overlord, should we activate the energy shield of Sky Dome? Then, neither can get in nor out and his teleportation will be useless.”

“Not yet, the energy shield requires a lot of Star Crystals for support. It’s not the critical moment, that would be wasteful.”

Yue Feng got up slowly, strolled down from the throne, pacing on the red carpet. Suddenly, he asked, “How has Ming Yue been these last few days?”

“You can rest assured, Overlord. Everything is under control. Su Saintess is unchanged. However, she seems to be playing with some soil lately, I don’t know what it means.”

“Soil… Forget it, continue to keep a close watch on her. If she shows signs of fleeing, immediately intercept her and notify me.”

“Yes, there are guards discreetly positioned. Though Su Saintess hasn’t attempted to escape for a long time, it seems she has resigned to her fate…”

“If she really resigns to her fate, I would be grateful. These past two years, I treated her with utmost respect, but she never reciprocated with a smile, nor willing to engage in a conversation with me. Does she really think that Lin

Zhen is superior to me?”

Seeing Yue Feng getting angry, Dong Shencai kept silent, his head still bowed. A sentinel from the shadow suddenly voiced, “Overlord, there’s also good news.”

“What good news?”

“Ye Lanshan will be promoted in a week. At that time, Overlord, you’re hosting a banquet to bid her farewell. Just yesterday, Su Saintess agreed to attend. She’ll even sit at the same table with Overlord.”

“Oh! Really?” Yue Feng turned sharply, looking into the shadows, “Is that so?”

“Absolutely, Su Saintess has given her orders.”

“Hehe! This isn’t bad at all. She has never dined with me before. Whenever she saw me, she would leave right away. This time, sitting together for a meal, it’s a significant progress.”

“Subordinate believes that Su Saintess has possibly accepted her fate, after all, a man like Overlord is a rare gem amongst men. There shouldn’t be much dissatisfaction on her part.”

“Never to be complacent. Ye Lanshan will be upgraded in a week. So, within three days, she has to leave the Star Fruit Tree. Once she departs, the marriage between me and Su Mingyue will be held immediately. Let’s set it to ten days from now. Whether she agrees or not, she won’t have a chance to manipulate things.”

Dong Shencai chipped in: “Overlord, we must still be careful of Lin Zhen. I heard he’s rallying the folks of the Ant Nest, preparing an invasion on Sky Dome.”

“Doesn’t matter. Pass a public message. I will marry Su Mingyue in ten days. All martial artists within Star Fruit Tree are invited to the wedding. Those who attend can join Sky Dome, each receiving five Constant Star Crystals and five billion in cash. And yes, reveal my identity too. I’ll like to see if these martial artists will still stand with Lin Zhen.”

“Yes, Overlord’s order will be carried out precisely!”

Yue Feng slowly reached the gate and looked beyond the Sky Dome, “Lin Zhen, don’t become a turtle hiding in its shell, that would be incredibly boring!”
