Chapter 695: Spoils of War

Before Han Shan could finish his last curse, Grum smashed his skull with a hammer.

This powerful cultivator from the Demon Sect, at the second level of the Shattered Void Realm, along with his thirty-four fellow disciples, all fell into pools of blood.

The apostles of each race began to clean up the battlefield.

A Nightmare Apostle wielding a hammer kicked the corpse of a demonic sect master at his feet, bent down and picked up a crystal that shone with an amber light from the ashes, his eyes instantly lighting up.

He held up the crystal and shouted to those around him, "A complete Dimensional Heart! That demonic brat I just killed dropped a complete Dimensional Heart! Haha, he's completely dead now, he can't even be resurrected!"

A skilled swordsman nearby immediately leaned over, peering intently at the crystal in his hand: "The complete Heart of a Dimension? Let me touch it!"

"What are you touching? We'll hand it over to the garrison commander later, and Lord Lin will distribute it accordingly."

The apostle wielding the hammer stuffed the crystal into his robes, his face crinkling with laughter.

"But this thing is really beautiful. I've fought for decades, and this is the first time I've ever seen a complete Heart of the Plane with my own eyes."

"You're lucky," an elven apostle nearby said enviously, clicking his tongue.

Everyone chattered excitedly, like a pack of wild animals that had just finished hunting.

Just then, two figures carrying a pile of golden equipment stumbled over.

Balor had three pieces of gold armor hanging from his earth-shattering stake, and two more slung over his shoulder. His voice could be heard from a distance: "Make way! Make way! Don't block the way!"

He rushed up to Lin Feng, laughing loudly, "Lord Lin! My brother and I have picked up quite a few too! Look at this breastplate, it adds 200 defense and also increases block rate! This belt adds 2,000 health! And this headdress..."

Snik followed behind, his two slender arms also carrying a stack of equipment, his dark green face full of excitement.

“I have three here too! Lord Lin, please choose first, please choose first. But this one that increases Shadow Affinity, hehe, if you don't need it, could you...”

As the two were talking, a black figure silently floated over.

Leona emerged from the shadows, her long black dress billowing gently in the wind, her bright red lips slightly upturned.

Her figure was slender and tall, and every step she took was as light as a cat's.

When Balor and Snik saw her, they immediately shut their mouths, grabbed their equipment, and took two steps to the side, making way for her.

Leona walked up to Lin Feng and gave him an elegant smile.

She extended her right hand and gently lifted the hem of her skirt: "Lord Lin, it's a pleasure to meet you. I am Liana, one of the garrison officers of Coldmoon City."

"Congratulations on your promotion to Senior Apostle. In this battlefield of eternal night, there is another person who can shoulder great responsibilities."

Lin Feng nodded slightly, his gaze ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) lingering on her for a moment before returning to his own: "Lord Liana, you're too kind."

Leona straightened up and casually tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear.

"Lord Lin's original mission was to go to Xuanbing City to provide support, right? But given the current situation... I'm afraid he won't be able to go."

Lin Feng did not respond immediately. He looked up at the horizon and remained silent for a moment.

"I made too much noise just now, and my strength has been completely exposed. Going there now will only draw the fighting there and disrupt their plans."

He withdrew his gaze and said calmly, "It seems we need to use Coldmoon City's communication methods to communicate with Steward Talon in Eternal Night City."

Leona waved her hand gently, her smile deepening: "Lord Lin, now that you are a high-ranking apostle, Talon Wayne is no longer qualified to assign you any tasks."

She tilted her head slightly, her dark red eyes flashing, and lowered her voice: "The four of us garrison officers will personally report this situation to the Viscount. I'm sure the Viscount would also like to see you in person. Let's return to Coldmoon City first and discuss it in detail on the way."

After listening, Lin Feng slowly nodded: "Perfect, I'd also like to meet the Viscount."

At this moment, Han Dang, Alicia, and Grum also walked over from various battlefields.

With his Mountain-Splitting Heavy Sword at his side, Han Dang strode up to Lin Feng.

"Lord Lin!" He looked Lin Feng up and down, then slapped his thigh.

"I'm truly impressed! I've never seen anything like this before! One person took on thirty-five, and even killed more than a dozen of them!"

Alicia stood beside him, her long, silvery-white hair swaying gently in the wind.

Her pale purple eyes gazed quietly at Lin Feng, and she gave a slight bow: "Lord Lin, I've heard so much about you."

Groom, carrying the Bone Crusher, muttered, "Impressive. I've never seen someone advance to the rank of High Apostle in such a short time."

Lin Feng nodded slightly, without saying anything more.

He didn't deliberately release his aura, but the oppressive aura of a high-ranking apostle still lingered heavily in the air.

Several lower-ranking apostles around them unconsciously took a half step back.

Han Dang straightened up, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Lord Lin, if I may be so bold as to ask, your promotion speed is really a bit too fast..."

He scratched his beard and smiled a little embarrassedly: "Of course, if it's inconvenient for you to say, just pretend I didn't ask."

Lin Feng glanced at him and remained silent for a moment.

“There’s nothing inconvenient about it,” he said slowly. “When the Blood Demon Sect attacked my plane, I knew that if I chose to engage in a plane war, I would surely lose, so I chose a duel between lords.”

Only with the help of my hero skills was I barely able to kill the opponent.

He paused for a moment, then continued, "What surprised me even more was that the other party still had a few Dimensional Hearts left to accumulate in order to stay at level 54."

"Once he dies, everything belongs to me. Adding the two he dropped, and after another interdimensional war, that makes enough."

After saying that, he glanced at Han Dang and said in a nonchalant tone, "To put it bluntly, it's just good luck."

After listening, Han Dang nodded, a look of understanding flashing in his eyes: "I see. A duel between lords is indeed a very profitable thing, but this move is too risky. Lord Lin has the courage to do this, and I, Han Dang, admire him."

Alicia nodded slightly, without asking any further questions, but her lips curved into a barely perceptible smile.

Her gaze lingered on Lin Feng's face for a moment longer before quietly shifting away.

Leona stood to the side, licked her bright red lips, and her dark red eyes brightened slightly, but she did not expose him.

Lin Feng remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he thought, "Believe it or not, it's up to you. Whoever asks, this is the same story."

Han Dang nodded, then changed his tone: "In any case, the fact that we were able to annihilate the entire Demon Sect in today's battle is all thanks to Lord Lin. These spoils of war should rightfully be distributed by you."

He turned and gestured to the other three garrison officers, and each of them took out several items from their storage equipment.

There are a total of four complete Dimensional Hearts, four pieces of unique equipment, and one unique energy crystal.

Lin Feng glanced at it and remained silent for a moment.

He reached out and took two complete Dimensional Hearts and the Dark Gold Energy Crystal, then pushed the remaining Dark Gold equipment and the two Dimensional Hearts back.

"Without everyone's help, it would have been difficult to achieve such results. I'll take these; the rest you can distribute."

Upon hearing this, everyone showered him with praise once again.

"Lord Lin is so magnanimous!"

"As expected of a high-ranking apostle!"

"Following Lord Lin from now on, you can't go wrong!"
