Global Lord: Start with Divine Favor-Chapter 871 - 170: Master of the Wild Hunt, Ailindir Shadow Moon

Regarding Nancy's attempt to smooth things over, Lin Rui saw through it clearly, but he stood there calmly without saying a word, just quietly watching Nancy.

Faraday still had to bow his head, especially since the situation was now in favor of the strong. Bowing to a powerful figure was not an unacceptable act. He quickly bowed and said, "I sincerely apologize, Lord Lin Rui. I am a rash person and lack understanding of etiquette. The sparring methods commonly used in the military have offended your dignity."

Nancy quickly said, "Yes, yes. Lord Lin Rui, please don't hold it against such a rash person. It would be beneath your status. The Imperial Army does indeed test new commanders lightly to prevent them from being incompetent. After all, if they can't even withstand a single blow from their subordinates, they can't command respect, right?"

Lin Rui was entirely uninterested in engaging. Don't justify your Empire's customs to me, and don't explain your separation of civil and military powers — those are your Empire's internal issues, not reasons for me to tolerate you!

Thus, Lin Rui directly ignored Faraday's bowing apology, leaving him to the side, and calmly looked at Nancy.

Being stared at by such a powerful figure as Lin Rui, Nancy, a civil official, naturally felt immense pressure, quickly breaking out in a cold sweat. Although his strength wasn't low, with a Tier Seven rank, as a civil official, he rarely went to the battlefield, and had only experienced a few life-and-death moments.

So he couldn't withstand this enormous pressure and killing intent and had to awkwardly say, "Of course, as compensation for offending you, the Empire will certainly make amends. However, we truly can't produce a Legendary Hero's Heart or a Sacred Treasure. How about converting it into two billion Spirit Crystal Coins?"

Lin Rui's brow furrowed slightly, and his killing intent grew even frostier as he looked at Nancy and said, "If you want him dead, just say it directly!"

The Empire might not be able to produce a Legendary Hero's Heart, but to say the Empire doesn't have even a single Sacred Treasure is complete nonsense.

The key is whether the Empire is willing to exchange a Sacred Treasure for Faraday's life.

Or does the Empire think Lin Rui is easy to fool, and that they can settle it with a few billion Spirit Crystal Coins?

A few billion Spirit Crystal Coins, before the Plane War, would have been an unimaginably vast fortune for Lin Rui.

When the Holy Knight spent a billion Spirit Crystal Coins on a lucky draw, Lin Rui found it astoundingly extravagant.

But with the ongoing Plane War, plundering wealth from other planes and conducting interplane trades has directly and significantly elevated Lin Rui's strength and vision.

Especially with interplane trading and several transactions with the Golden Treasure Hall, all involving precious and vast resources, Lin Rui suddenly leapt from possessing millions in Spirit Crystal Coins to the ten billion level.

Every transaction involving a Mythical Artifact such as a Divine Core Fragment involved several billion Spirit Crystal Coins.

This has made Lin Rui almost immune to the figure of two billion Spirit Crystal Coins now.

Before the Plane War, Lin Rui would absolutely have agreed without a second thought. But now, Lin Rui remains unwavering.

The Empire can either produce a Sacred Treasure, or Lin Rui will take it himself!

Nancy's facade of friendliness finally dropped, his face turning sinister as he said spitefully, "Lin Rui, don't think the Empire is afraid of you just because they've shown you courtesy. If you don't know your place, the Empire will stop at nothing, and you will surely die!"

Lin Rui's gaze turned icy, and he pointed a finger in the direction of the Empire. A terrifying Spiritual Reaction erupted, thousands of Celestial Spears emerged from the void, slicing toward the Empire's location like a blue laser net.

The azure ice spears trailed Spiritual Energy flares for thousands of meters, killing upon contact, annihilating upon touching. Even if one dodged the dense laser network, the blue ice spears would still explode, and countless icy fragments would repeatedly slice through everything within range like a storm. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

As Lin Rui made his move, the area occupied by the Empire's group instantly erupted like a sun, countless ice spears and fragments lifting a storm of frost and snow, internal explosions making it impossible to keep one's eyes open.

Immediately, the Celestial Divine Priest also took action. As soon as he moved, an endless barrage of Celestial Soldiers and Generals began bombarding one chaotic area. The Divine Spear flashed with frosty blue light again and again, targeting the enemy center from all directions, and explosions rang out endlessly.

Lin Rui soon retracted his right hand and looked at Gulian, asking, "Do you think I won't turn on you after dealing with them?"

Gulian also retracted his right hand and said slowly, "Young man, don't be so hot-tempered. I, this old man, am just here to mediate, and these old bones can't withstand the trouble of a young person like you."

As his voice fell, the successive explosions in front gradually subsided.

The myriad images of the Celestial Soldiers disappeared, leaving only one Divine Jian, eyeing the Empire's group sharply, weapon in hand, several dozen meters tall.

At this moment, the Empire's people huddled beneath a transparent shield, faces pale as paper, looked in shock at the slowly subsiding Spiritual Reaction, finding it hard to believe they had survived such a terrifying attack?

Everyone instinctively touched their necks and bodies, filled with the lingering dread of surviving a disaster.

What kind of terrifying monster was this!

To exert such terrifying pressure in an instant of confrontation, a force as if to obliterate the world, seemingly about to erase them instantly.
