Chapter 824: Chapter 825: People Descended from the Heavens
At this moment, everything has become clear.
The marauders of the Evil Ghost Clan, the so-called Ghost King Army, have set their sights on this planet and thus begun their conquest.
As it happens, Lin Qian and the others’ fixed assessment target is this very planet.
Through interrogation and confirmation from the True Ghost Clan followers, Lin Qian and the others came to understand why they wanted to capture this Green Clan girl.
This Green Clan girl, named Liu Qingqing, is the daughter of the City Lord of Angmu City ahead.
After the Ghost King Army’s Evil Ghost Clan attacked this planet, they began to burn, murder, and plunder, and the entire Green Clan united in a desperate resistance.
However, the overall strength of the Ghost King Army’s Evil Ghost Clan was evidently far more formidable compared to the Green Clan, leading them to a series of defeats and forced retreats.
Angmu City also suffered attacks from the Ghost King Army’s Evil Ghost, and the person leading this team to attack the city was actually the only son of the Ghost King Army’s leader. Therefore, the Evil Ghost Clan kneeling on the ground referred to him as the Young Master.
The Evil Ghost Clan not only burns, murders, and plunders but also enjoys cooking and eating other races; the Green Clan naturally could not escape this fate.
They even have unique culinary techniques in their clan, capable of absorbing the flesh of other races to greatly replenish themselves.
In a certain aspect, this is one of the racial talents of the Evil Ghost Clan.
But cooking and eating other races is utterly disgusting from the perspective of normal races.
This method does enhance their vitality with significant effect, but it also has side effects, as the speed of normal cultivation will slow down considerably, making them increasingly reliant on this method of enhancement.
As for the True Ghost Clan, they have utilized their talents in different ways.
When they consume Pills or the blood and flesh of fierce beasts, they can absorb every ounce of essence without any waste, turning it to their advantage. This ability is considered quite remarkable.
In Lin Qian’s view, this is an example of correctly utilizing one’s innate abilities.
The situation is similar to that of the Black Blood Clan in the past.
“Cut them down!” Seeing these Evil Ghost Clan members, Lin Qian felt vexed at heart and shouted.
On the other side, Lan Yunfeng’s True Ghost Clan followers volunteered, hoping to personally execute them.
This request was naturally granted.
Lan Yunfeng had also mentioned that, for the True Ghost Clan, the Evil Ghost Clan was a disgrace and would be killed on sight.
The Evil Ghost Clan, terrible at bullying others, yet when faced with death, shrank back, crying for mercy.
To this, Lin Qian turned a deaf ear, such a race isn’t worth lamenting over.
Turning away, Lin Qian approached the Green Clan girl Liu Qingqing and in a gentle tone, to avoid scaring her, carefully inquired about the situation on Green Star.
At this moment, Liu Qingqing was also somber, answering Lin Qian’s every question cautiously.
The Evil Ghost Clan, who threatened their planet, was previously unstoppable; those who had just died were utterly invincible while plundering her city.
Yet in front of Lin Qian and the others, they were powerless, like weak children.
After the questions and answers, Lin Qian finally understood the current situation on Green Star.
More than half of the planet’s territory has already been occupied by the Ghost King Army’s Evil Ghost Clan, and their reinforcements continue to arrive.
It is evident that they had already conquered another planet and ravaged it almost completely; now it’s Green Star’s turn.
The reason Lin Qian and the others hadn’t noticed was that the location where their Starry Sky Ship arrived was the opposite of their Void Warship’s destination.
The Starry Sky Ship, naturally superior to the Cloud Boat, was a Soul Device used to navigate outer space. However, compared to the Void Ship, it was far inferior, much like a toy against the warships of the Huaxia Empire.
The Ghost King Army continues to arrive relentlessly, but Lin Qian is not worried in the slightest; the power of their Huaxia Alliance can easily crush the Ghost King Army.
It is speculated that this Ghost King Army likely has no individuals beyond the Qi Refining Realm, and even if there were, Lin Qian is confident in eliminating them.
Afterwards, Lin Qian decided that they should reclaim Angmu City as a temporary base. After rescuing the City Lord of Angmu City, they would better understand the situation on this planet.
Liu Qingqing was, after all, only the daughter of the City Lord of Angmu City, not the City Lord himself, and knew only that reinforcements continued to flood in and conquer more than half of the Green Star. More specific details had to be asked of her father.
“Lead the way. We will go rescue your father.” After deliberating, Lin Qian looked at Liu Qingqing and said.
Upon hearing this, Liu Qingqing was incredibly excited, gratefully kneeling down to Lin Qian and almost kowtowing.
On the other side, Ye Xin quickly helped her up, advising, “No need for such gestures. This is simply a matter of lifting a finger. Besides, this is something we ought to do.”
Lin Qian and the others couldn’t outright reveal the fixed assessment of the Sea Spiral Holy Institute as per the rules, they were not allowed to expose the matters of the Sea Spiral Holy Institute. Doing so would result in the cancellation and direct failure of their fixed assessment.
This is why, for so long, the creatures of the Saint Institute Star System still do not know they are under the control of the Sea Spiral Holy Institute, as if existing in a paradise, isolated from the entire Sea Spiral Star Domain.
“I understand, you are the Heavenly Descended!” On the way, Liu Qingqing suddenly came to the realization and exclaimed aloud.
“Heavenly Descended?”
“In legends, sometimes Heavenly Descended beings come to this world to fulfill various missions. Such things seemed mythic, yet surprisingly they are true.” Liu Qingqing covered her mouth, repeatedly amazed.
Lin Qian and the others exchanged glances, shaking their heads with wry smiles.
Because of the rules of the Sea Spiral Holy Institute, they had become what was called the Heavenly Descended, which was indeed quite amusing.
However, it is precisely because of these rules that the Saint Institute Star System where their fixed assessment takes place still maintains its own rules, allowing various possibilities to occur.
The task of descending directly onto a planet for a fixed assessment is still in the minority, with many tasks requiring one to not reveal their identity.
Some tasks require maintaining mystery and creating a force on the planet with a promising future. Others demand becoming a legendary master and nurturing talent, and so on.
Such fixed assessments, where concealment is unnecessary, are rare and thus become legendary stories about the Heavenly Descended, akin to a beautiful tale.
The speed at which Lin Qian and the others flew was extraordinary, and soon a completely wooden city appeared ahead, with walls that shimmered with a metallic luster and bore scorch marks.
Seeing Angmu City, Liu Qingqing’s eyes glistened with tears, her expression tense, worried for her father’s safety.
But seeing Lin Qian and the others beside her, she regained her confidence.
“The Heavenly Descended will surely be able to save my father.”
