Chapter 869: Chapter 870: Spoils of War

After the Saint Institute battle concluded, the Overlord Hall members turned and left, disappearing from everyone’s sight.

It was clear that such a defeat made them lose face, and they couldn’t stand to remain in that place, so they had to leave.

Seeing the departing figures of the Overlord Hall, Lin Qian smiled and turned to wave at the people of the Huaxia Alliance: “Follow me, let’s go take a look at our spoils of war, and see what it looks like.”

After hearing Lin Qian’s words, the members of the Huaxia Alliance surged forward, rushing towards him.

They naturally understood what Lin Qian meant by spoils of war—it was the territory of the Overlord Hall.

Once defeated, the members of the Overlord Hall would be unable to return to their territory. Even those originally belonging to the Overlord Hall would be excluded; the area would be completely sealed off.

Of course, there must be many good things in the territory of the Overlord Hall.

For example, a herb garden cultivating spiritual medicine, or spiritual mineral deposits contained within.

These things couldn’t be moved, and there might even be stores of resources, all of which would belong to the Huaxia Alliance.

After the Saint Institute battle concluded, the six army generals, Lv Bu, and Zhuge Ming all saluted Lin Qian as they departed, taken into the Xuanhuan Star.

Maintaining the puppet form expended a significant amount of soul energy. Staying outside resulted in immense loss, so going back to save energy was essential.

However, the soul energy depletion problem Zhuge Ming mentioned had been solved excellently by the Heart of Wood Realm.

The Heart of Wood Realm endlessly produced soul energy, used as an energy source, which was simply marvelous.

One or two might not accomplish much, but Huasheng had planted a large forest of Wood Realm King Trees in the Xuanhuan Star, continually harvesting Hearts of Wood Realm.

With a compatible array slightly modified, it would produce endless energy.

Once the Xuanhuan Star was completely supplied by the Heart of Wood Realm, Lin Qian would extend this to the Soul Martial Star.

Of course, that’s for later.

At this moment, Lin Qian led the jubilant Huaxia Alliance members toward the original territory of the Overlord Hall.

The Overlord Hall’s territory was located on the Sky Fighting Star, an area where spiritual energy was intensely concentrated.

Having directly received the reward after the Saint Institute battle ended, the location of the territory naturally emerged in Lin Qian’s mind.

Soon, he led the Huaxia Alliance people to the location of the Overlord Hall’s territory.

The Overlord Hall’s territory nestled amid the mountains and waters, with scenic beauty, though its expanse was far less than the Trial Land.

After all, the Sky Fighting Star was among the most spiritually rich planets. Countless students vied for territory here.

Therefore, the land here was extremely scarce, each person could not occupy much, but comparatively, the territory of the Overlord Hall was already quite large.

On the Trial Star, the only students present were from the Huaxia Alliance, no competition, hence the land was much larger.

Outside the Overlord Hall’s territory, numerous outer institute students hovered, naturally members of the Overlord Hall.

Originally, they were somewhat confused about how they were inexplicably excluded from the territory; now, it was crystal clear.

“Members of the Huaxia Alliance, you better not touch the things inside recklessly, or you’ll regret it for life!”

“You should return the items inside as they were, or bear the consequences.”

As Lin Qian and others approached the territory of the Overlord Hall, its members angrily shouted, pointing, domineeringly.

Many in the Overlord Hall had not gone to watch the battle, imagining their nine might not be defeated.

Even though they were defeated now, there might be hidden truths, with the opponent employing despicable means.

Otherwise, why did those observing the battle mention that the Hall Master never used Saint pattern fusion from start to finish?

“Lin Qian, you’d better measure carefully, take good care of the items inside, as I will personally reclaim them in a year.” At this moment, Sheng Li emerged, stepping forward menacingly, “This time was our oversight; in a year, you won’t have it so easy.”

Because of embarrassment and bad luck, Sheng Li and others had already left early and arrived here.

Upon speaking, Sheng Da approached with a cold smile: “Unexpectedly, the rightful grandson of the Grand Elder is so shameless.”

Sheng Da’s appearance caused Sheng Li’s face to darken as his opponent was the clan leader’s son, with a status higher than his own.

However, the clan’s Grand Elder’s status wasn’t low either.

Sheng Li was about to speak, but as if seeing something terrifying, he pointed at Sheng Da: “You… how is it possible that you…”

Not only Sheng Li, but others also noticed Sheng Da’s oddity.

At this moment, only a single Saint pattern floated on Sheng Da’s forehead, with no other patterns on his body.

Saint pattern fusion, leaving only one pattern?

This realm’s Saint Rune Clan shouldn’t be able to cultivate to this level!

How did Sheng Da achieve this?

Moreover, Sheng Li was even more terrified to realize that the opponent wasn’t even in a battle state, yet could maintain such a Saint pattern fusion posture?

Astonishing!

“What, you seem surprised?” Seeing Sheng Li’s expression, Sheng Da arrogantly replied, “I heard you laugh at me for following a mere human clan, calling it foolish. My achievement is thanks to this human clan, I wonder if you would still laugh at me now?”

“Even though I’m only at First Level of the World Realm, I’m confident in defeating you. It’s not just me; those on my side are equally capable.”

“However, His Majesty stated that our realm has just broken through, unsuitable for action, so he led his subjects to battle against you. You thought it amusing, but we could have done it ourselves.”

Sheng Da’s words caused laughter among others, mocking those from Overlord Hall as they faced them.

“After a year, I won’t wait for you; I will personally commence the Saint Institute battle against you,” Lin Qian gazed at the Overlord Hall members, sneering, “In this Sea Spiral Holy Institute, the Huaxia Alliance will forever be a shadow over you, lingering in your mind, inescapable.”

Having said this, Lin Qian turned and flew toward the territory of the Overlord Hall.

On the other side, Liu Shimin waved a folding fan, eyeing Liu Jianqing: “My good royal brother, I wonder what’s in your residence worth taking, and I’m not polite.”

“Liu Shimin, how dare you!” Liu Jianqing yelled furiously, pointing at Liu Shimin.

With a joyful grin, Liu Shimin replied, “Go ahead and act if you dare; now you have no excuse to strike.”

After saying this, he too followed behind Lin Qian, entering the Overlord Hall’s territory, leaving the Overlord Hall members behind, their faces sullen.
