Huh? Isn't this an adventure kingdom building game?!

Chapter 1314: Chapter 987: Bountiful Harvest (Part 2)

The Black Rider Captain slightly turned his head and indeed saw his subordinate frantically waving his hand to signal.

Unfortunately, this operation was very sudden, and the Black Riders mobilized by the Three Protectors were unfamiliar with each other. Moreover, no communication methods worked within the Holy Land, so he instinctively dived his Divine Sense into the Merit Token to see if any disciples undergoing Tribulation Crossing nearby needed emergency help.

The next second, the captain’s eyes immediately widened in shock— the light spots representing the Black Riders he had deployed throughout the Divine Wood Forest had all disappeared without a trace!

Oh no, it’s not correct to say they all disappeared. Except for the two most familiar subordinates who had been with him all along, only two light spots remained on the left and right, while the others were all within the Tribulation Crossing Array... No! No way! In his shock, he noticed there were two light spots in some of the Tribulation Crossing Arrays?!

A sense of foreboding enveloped his heart. The Black Rider Captain steadied himself, deciding to concentrate the remaining forces together first, at least to hold off for a moment.

"Quick, open the Holy Land Seal! Quickly!" The moment he realized the situation, the captain pushed Zhao Wenyu to the seal and commanded, "Bring the two wings over immediately!"

The orders were quickly conveyed, and the subordinates reacted promptly, gesturing for the left and right members to converge towards the center;

Meanwhile, Zhao Wenyu, immersed in the excitement of being promoted to the number one Array Master, was envisioning a prosperous future, paused and unhappily said, "Why the rush? The Tribulation Crossing just started, and we need to wait..."

The captain saw his argument and roared impatiently, "If you don’t want to die, open the seal at once! Otherwise, you’ll end up dead within the Holy Land like the Ugly Slave!"

The sudden incident left Zhao Wenyu clueless about what was happening.

To him, everything seemed normal. The Array was running smoothly, and the disciples striving to cross the tribulation nearby seemed normal too. How dare these mere guards sent over for his safety by the Three Protectors shout at him like this, incredible!

"If the disciples’ Tribulation Crossing is delayed, you’ll bear full responsibility if blamed," Zhao Wenyu thought, feeling dissatisfied.

But the Black Rider Captain’s menacing aura made it seem he was about to kill, so Zhao Wenyu dared not confront him; fearing death, he thought, in any case, if something goes wrong, the Black Riders would bear the blame, so why fear? He opened it begrudgingly, thinking they would handle the fallout.

With a disgruntled slap, a huge, complex, light blue circular Array appeared in the Void.

"Open the seal quickly!" The Black Rider Captain was anxious. Numerous restrictions and arrays were laid out within the Holy Land, preventing teleportation and communication with the outside world, restricting even the Merit Token from transmitting messages.

If something went wrong here...

He couldn’t imagine what had happened, with hundreds of Black Riders dying silently in such a short time. What means did the opponents use?

"This is the Holy Land Seal! Do you think it’s child’s play?" Zhao Wenyu fumed inwardly, silently calculating the intricate runes.

The more the other side urged him, the more anxious he became, and the more anxious, the slower the calculation.

Meanwhile, two of Jiang Yuan’s doppelgangers flew over swiftly. The waving one exclaimed, "The Black Rider who should have been near my left side is gone!"

It turned out they noticed something strange, and the Black Rider Captain believed them without doubt, ordering, "Stay fully alert, ensure our safety regardless of any movement, and leave immediately once the seal is open. You, reseal the Holy Land after leaving, and wait for reinforcements!"

Hmm! One has to admit the captain was indeed a bit capable and skilled.

The two Jiang Yuans exchanged glances, with one swift motion of their left and right hands, taking out two disposable Capture Nets from the Storage Bag.

"Whoosh! Whoosh, whoosh!"

The three Black Riders had never imagined a threat would come from within; Zhao Wenyu, with his rear up and his brows furrowed, unable to figure out which rune to trigger, was suddenly caught by the flying net.

"So it’s you! Who— who are you?" The Black Rider Captain, with his Spiritual Power restrained, looked in disbelief at the subordinates he trusted completely a second ago.

How could the familiar Black Riders arranged on both sides betray them?

"Go catch up with your old friends." Jiang Yuan’s doppelganger acted decisively, confiscating the Storage Bag and Merit Tokens, tossing them into the System Storage Bag, grabbing them for immediate refining!

Jiang Yuan clicked to use the Space Technique to rip open the Tribulation Crossing Array and, while capturing the dazed Evil Cultivator to absorb their lifespan, silently sensed the current progress. He sighed from the bottom of his heart, "Doppelgangers are indeed useful; I should have called them out to work much earlier!"

Send one to grind in the Mysterious Cave for points to exchange for materials;

Send another to grind in the World Tree branch dungeon;

Send several more to grind those polluted dungeons;

Lastly, keep two disguised as Black Riders for emergencies!

"Huh? Really? Because we did the task too well, you’ll leave us to be like you doing 007?"

"Aren’t you worried one of us will replace you?"

"Replace a ball of yarn! At least the tasks given to us require no brainwork, while he has to outsmart evil cultivators daily, isn’t that exhausting?"

"Remember to recharge us, or using too many skills will exhaust the time bar, returning us to bracelet cooldown for three days."

"We’ll each perform our duties and use various skills, gaining experience. Best to brush up on Nightmare Technique quickly; that’s the one dragging behind now..."

As they took down the Evil Cultivators undergoing Tribulation Crossing one by one, the seven Jiang Yuans gathered, chattering.

The main body said nothing, smiling as he watched the slew of system notifications for completed tasks flashing amid the [Lifespan +] alerts.

[Side Quest: Eradicate the Leisure Sect]

[Quest 5: Eliminate one hundred members of the Leisure Sect (100/100) completed. Reward: Life Origin +300 has been issued]

[Quest 6: Eliminate one hundred members of the Leisure Sect (100/100) completed. Reward: Skill Upgrade Card +2 has been issued]

[Quest 7: Eliminate one hundred members of the Leisure Sect (100/100) completed. Reward: Building Upgrade Card +5 has been issued]

[Quest 8: Eliminate one hundred members of the Leisure Sect (100/100) completed. Reward: Medicinal Materials Luxury Gift Package +2 has been issued]

[Quest 9: Eliminate one hundred members of the Leisure Sect (51/100). Reward: Equipment Upgrade Card +2]

After this battle, having absorbed the lifespan of nearly three hundred Evil Cultivators, and the remaining Essence poured into the Formation, Jiang Yuan’s remaining lifespan reached 126,451 years, 3 months, and 9 days!

"So satisfying!" He looked at the long line of lifespan and then at the Storage Bag full of spoils, tossing the many confiscated Merit Tokens into the Accelerator as fuel with a flick of his hand.

Don’t underestimate this token; it’s a Magical Treasure after all, and it can extend the Accelerator’s time considerably.

He suspected that the Leisure Sect headquarters must have set up a manufacturing line for Magical Treasures; how else could they have so many Merit Tokens to bind to Evil Cultivators’ Divine Souls?

The remaining Storage Bags should be taken back for Yan Xuan and the others to open and sort; keep the useful, distribute what can be shared, and throw the rest into the Accelerator or the Melting Workshop to convert them all into points!

"Why not just destroy this cursed Divine Wood Forest, to prevent the Evil Cultivators from accessing it again?"

"Without a sufficient Space Technique level, otherwise I could store the existing small space and enjoy having a portable small space!"

"You said it yourself, the level isn’t enough, it’s more hassle-free to destroy it..."

......

Jiang Yuan watched his group of doppelgangers discussing how to completely render this place unusable, knowing they couldn’t see the system messages and were unaware of the two skill upgrade cards just received after the progress was shielded.

"Come on, let’s split the loot, then talk about handling the Divine Wood Forest." He gestured for the doppelgangers to line up, sharing lifespan one by one.

Two hundred years of lifespan each; the time bar ballooned, appearing sufficient to maintain skills for a month or two even with continued use.

Then he clicked to use the Skill Upgrade Card, leveling up the Space Technique, which was over halfway in experience, to Level Four.

The Space Technique learned from Jiu Mu, merging with the original skills, reached Level Four, enabling the creation of storage space for storing items.

Though the self-created space is small, once reaching this level, it is possible to control the small space! Taking away the Divine Wood Forest becomes as simple as waiting for the system loading bar.

"Today’s acquisitions include the ’Pioneer’ and ’Boundless’ Immortal Ships, alongside Incense Master Yang Sansi’s Little Karami from before, making three Immortal Ships no longer belonging to the Leisure Sect. When second disciple Fu Qingzhou returns, have him see if they can be reclaimed." Jiang Yuan thought in his heart, clicking open the instance, dispatching six doppelgangers to busy themselves.

Leading two still-disguised as Black Riders doppelgangers, he prepared to do something big, accelerating the demise of the Leisure Sect branch in the Wilderness World!
