"Yes, Young Master Lin Yu." Su Yuntao's face lit up with joy.
Participating in battle versus doing cleanup work offers completely different contributions and merits, and there's a great chance to gain the appreciation of an important figure like Lin Yu.
For small fries like Su Yuntao and his group,
To climb the ranks, to do better, to get promoted and a raise, they had to seize opportunities and make more contributions.
Although participating in battle was life-threatening, if one didn't work hard, how could they ever do better?
Even small fries have dreams and goals.
Su Yuntao's goal was to be transferred to a higher-level branch hall. If he could go to the Spirit CitySupreme Pontiff Palace, the holy land of Spirit Masters, that would be even better, as the salary, benefits, and welfare there were all superior.
"Alright, without further ado, let's depart immediately."
"Yes!"
Lin Yu immediately took action, leading Qian Renxue, Dugu Yan, Zhu Zhuqing, Su Yuntao, and others quickly towards Bi Zhiyu's manor.
By the time they arrived, it was midnight, 12 AM.
Looking at the manor before him, and the magnificent and luxurious villa built within it, Lin Yu felt a deep sense of irony: "A person who once committed heinous crimes can still live in luxury and peace here."
He shook his head, a murderous glint in his eyes: "My assessment requires me to kill a Spirit Emperor alone. Once Bi Zhiyu appears, no one is to interfere with my battle."
"As for the other people in the manor, they will be handled primarily by you three: Dugu Yan, Zhu Zhuqing, and Su Yuntao."
"Xue'er Jie, if you wish to act, do not release your Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul."
Qian Renxue shrugged indifferently: "Got it. Besides Bi Zhiyu, the strongest in this manor are only Spirit Elders. I have no interest in fighting such opponents. Those small fries will be left to you all later."
"Don't worry, we'll clear out everyone else and let Lin Yu fight that guy one-on-one."
Dugu Yan and Zhu Zhuqing said with full vigor.
Su Yuntao also secretly mustered his fighting Spirit.
Lin Yu wanted to save his full strength to fight the Spirit Emperor.
As for the hundred thugs, five Spirit Grandmasters, and two Spirit Elders in the manor, they were left for Dugu Yan, Zhu Zhuqing, and Su Yuntao to handle. This was also a practical training experience for them.
"Then, let's begin!"
"Go!"
"Yes!"
With Lin Yu's command,
Dugu Yan, Zhu Zhuqing, and Su Yuntao were the first to charge towards the manor.
"How dare you!"
"Who dares to trespass here in the dead of night? Seize them for me!"
There were more than a dozen strong thugs on night watch in the manor. Seeing the three of them approaching, they immediately became fierce, rolled up their sleeves, and prepared to fight.
"You're courting death!"
Both sides charged at each other.
One of the burly men, who was charging at the very front, swung his arm forcefully, punching towards Su Yuntao in front of him.
"Heh." Su Yuntao sneered, slightly lowering his stance to dodge the punch, then countered with a punch to the opponent's abdomen.
Bang!
The burly man was instantly sent flying backwards by Su Yuntao's punch, spitting foam, and fainted.
"Hmph!"
Zhu Zhuqing also stepped forward with a leap, instantly knocking down one person with a punch.
Two burly men attacked Dugu Yan. Dugu Yan raised her hands, caught both their fists, and then simultaneously slammed them to the ground.
Bang!
"Ah ah!~"
In just a few seconds, four burly men were easily taken down.
Although these thugs were strong, trained in combat techniques, and had fighting experience,
Ordinary people are, after all, just ordinary people, and they don't even wear fine armor, protective gear, or defensive gear like soldiers in the army. They are simply no match for Spirit Masters.
Bare-handed, even a one-ring or two-ring Spirit Master can easily beat up a group of ordinary people.
"Martial Soul possession, Lone Wolf!"
"Howl!"
"Martial Soul possession, Hell Civet!"
Behind Su Yuntao, a one-eyed wolfman appeared, and under his feet, one white and one yellow Spirit ring emerged.
Zhu Zhuqing also activated her Martial Soul, with one yellow Spirit ring.
"Oh no! These guys are Spirit Masters! Quick! Call for backup! Notify those Spirit Master adults!!"
The thugs panicked.
One of them immediately fired a flare into the sky.
Bang!
The flare exploded, echoing throughout the entire manor.
The previously silent manor instantly became agitated.
In the grand villa.
Top floor, a certain room.
The Spirit Emperor criminal, Bi Zhiyu, was embracing two beauties intimately when he heard the commotion outside. His brows furrowed: "Hmm? What's going on?"
"You two wait in bed."
Bi Zhiyu got out of bed and walked to the window. Through the window, he looked at the situation in the distance and clearly saw that the dozen or so thugs on night watch had all been defeated by Zhu Zhuqing and the other two.
"No one in the entire Nuoding City dares to provoke me. Even the Nuoding City Lord has to show me three points of respect. Who exactly are these people, daring to trespass into my private domain late at night?"
"Just a Spirit Master and a Spirit Grandmaster? Courting death. Don't they know I have several Spirit Masters under my command?" Bi Zhiyu said with disdain, then shouted: "A Fei!"
"Go handle it. After you capture them, ask about their origins."
"Yes, Boss."
Outside the door, a cold voice came.
A middle-aged man named A Fei then instantly disappeared from the hallway outside the door.
This A Fei was a Spirit Ancestor expert, Bi Zhiyu's strongest subordinate. Because he had rarely taken action, even Spirit Hall's reconnaissance personnel had not investigated his information.
Soon, all the enemies in the manor poured out.
Over eighty thugs, five Spirit Grandmasters, and two Spirit Elders all charged out from the grand villa. As for A Fei, he had not yet appeared.
Bi Zhiyu had no sense of crisis whatsoever and continued to be intimate with the two beauties.
"You three suicidal fools, do you know what kind of place this is?!" The two Spirit Elders, leading nearly a hundred people, already stood before Dugu Yan, Zhu Zhuqing, and Su Yuntao.
As for Lin Yu and Qian Renxue, they had already disappeared to who knew where.
"Less talk, more action." Dugu Yan was full of heroic Spirit, giving a middle finger to the group in front of her.
"Courting death! Kill them for me!"
The two Spirit Elders immediately gave the order.
"Kill!!"
Over eighty thugs all charged towards Dugu Yan and the other two.
"Heh." Dugu Yan smiled charmingly.
She stood calmly in place, then finally released her Martial Soul.
"Martial Soul possession, Jade Phosphor Serpent!"
"Hiss~"
A terrifying, dark green giant snake appeared behind Dugu Yan, and a cold, chilling aura swept across the entire area. Under her feet, three Spirit rings—yellow, yellow, and purple—emerged.
"What?!"
"A three-ring Spirit Elder!"
"Heh, all of you, fall."
"Third Spirit Ability, Jade Phosphor Purple Poison!" Dugu Yan's eyes glowed purple, and the Jade Phosphor Serpent behind her exhaled a thick cloud of purple poisonous mist. The mist instantly spread through the air, engulfing the entire area.
