I Can Gain One Skill Point Per Second - Chapter 688: Courting Disaster—Lin Yi, Are You Even Human?

Given the current positions of Xiyue and Ao Shu on Xiang Wuxing, exchanging this material using equivalent items should not be a difficult task.

While Xiyue was counting the number of her creations, the space in front of her suddenly warped.

It drew her and Ao Shu’s gaze over.

“Brother Lin Yi, you’re back?”

Seeing the person she had been thinking of, Ao Shu stopped indulging in leisure, hopping barefoot towards Lin Yi and leaped directly into his arms.

“Why did only you come back? Where’s Mr. Wu?”

Xiyue walked over gracefully, composed and poised.

With the attentive arrangement of the attendants on Xiang Wuxing, a custom Flowing Immortal Skirt made of golden silk was draped over her, said to be the highest etiquette for distinguished guests of Xiang Wuxing.

Xiyue did not refuse and even put on a light makeup similar to the beauties of this era. Her heroic aura was completely masked, and her elegant appearance was enchanting to the eye.

“Do I look good?”

Seeing Lin Yi somewhat surprised by her transformation, Xiyue couldn’t help but cover her mouth and laugh.

A woman dresses up for her admirer; receiving confirmation from the one she wishes to please is the most delightful thing.

Life is but food and love; Lin Yi never pretends to be some reclusive sage, and being enchanted by his own beauty is not something shameful.

“You look great! But that’s not the point. The point is, we need to get out of here.”

As soon as Lin Yi spoke, he employed the [Light and Shadow Mark] to mark all the maids present and instantly activated the [Intertwined Shadows] skill, transporting them miles away from the Martial Emperor Hall.

“Ah? How did it come to this? Weren’t you negotiating well? Which part went wrong, did it come to blows?”

Earlier, to prevent Wu Jue Dian from seeing through Xiyue and Ao Shu’s plans using the Truth Law, Lin Yi deliberately concealed Wu Jue Dian’s and the three elders’ deeds toward Dubhe Pavilion.

Only at this moment did he reveal everything in a few words.

“There’s no time left. I’ve issued an order in the name of Wu Jue Dian to gather all Spirit Awakening Stones in Martial Emperor City in the shortest possible time for us to take away. Also, we need to take that girl, Zhang Yun, she won’t be able to return to Xiang Wuxing for a while.”

“Given our actions on Xiang Wuxing, even killing her ten thousand times is lenient.”

Being forced to leave home, anyone would be unwilling, but Lin Yi is confident he can persuade Zhang Yun to willingly leave and settle temporarily on Blue Star.

Everything seemed extremely unreasonable.

Even with Hei Hou’s help, Wu Jue Dian eagerly wishes to break through and is so fond of Lin Yi’s skill points, genuinely puzzling.

However, figuring this out isn’t meaningful; currently, his strength isn’t enough to defeat Hei Hou, better take the things and flee.

The two women did not doubt Lin Yi’s orders at all. Xiyue followed Lin Yi to handle the Spirit Awakening Stones, and Ao Shu was responsible for taking Zhang Yun away.

Two minutes later, the entire Martial Emperor Hall’s attendants started running.

“Yes, that’s right, everyone hurry up!”

Authorized by Wu Jue Dian, Lin Yi possessed the highest authority below Wu Jue Dian on Xiang Wuxing.

After his order, the servants all sprinted, striving to search every Spirit Awakening Stone within Martial Emperor City.

After a long hour of waiting, 451 Spirit Awakening Stones of varying quality were piled in front of Lin Yi.

“Mr. Lin, these are all the Spirit Awakening Stones that could be gathered from the entire Martial Emperor City. We found nine top-grade ones in the palace, six…”

The general steward of Martial Emperor City was panting as he reported the collected data to Lin Yi.

It happened while Lin Yi finished narrating everything he knew.

“No, this can’t be! Mr. Wu wouldn’t be such a person,”

Zhang Yun, somewhat naive, reacted first by assuming Lin Yi was mistaken.

However, after reflecting on her own experiences over the years, she realized that Wu Jue Dian was indeed a hypocrite.

“Xiaoyi, no, Brother Lin Yi, I beg you, I can give you everything, anything you want; even to be a concubine for you is fine. I beg you, please help me kill Wu Jue Dian.”

Saying this, she kneeled before the general steward of Martial Emperor Hall.

This scene stunned the general steward of Martial Emperor Hall.

He confirmed he didn’t mishear, Zhang Yun was begging Lin Yi to kill Mr. Wu, meaning Lin Yi is an enemy of Xiang Wuxing!

“xiu～”

A whistle sound reverberated throughout Martial Emperor City, instantly assembling an elite team hidden within Martial Emperor Hall that had an average strength of Blue Star War God level behind the general steward.

“Mr. Zhao, what is this?”

The leader of the Martial Emperor Guard looked at the scene ahead, somewhat taken aback.

Who was he planning to attack? Lin Yi is a distinguished guest of Xiang Wuxing, existing below only one person yet above thousands!

“Stop standing there, I just heard Zhang Yun pleading with Lin Yi to kill Mr. Wu. Hurry up and slay that outsider, he even had me find so many Spirit Awakening Stones, he plans to take them and run!”

“No, Mr. Wu went to his planet with him; only this guy came back. Mr. Wu might be trapped on his planet!”

After hearing the general steward’s words, a conflicted expression appeared on the Martial Emperor Guard’s faces.

Lin Yi’s authority and status were bestowed directly by Wu Jue Dian, his credibility was extremely high. If they acted impulsively without clarifying things and made a mistake, they’d be in deep trouble when questioned later.

“You fools, stop hesitating. Haven’t you seen how many years I’ve worked for Martial Emperor Hall? Hurry up, if it’s a misunderstanding, I’ll take full responsibility!”

Seeing the Martial Emperor Guard unmoved, Mr. Zhao became anxious and even staked his life, prompting the guards to finally take up their arms and encircle Lin Yi.

“Mr. Lin Yi, sorry for the offense!”

Lin Yi was completely unfazed, smiling slightly before unfolding his Eternal Law.

“No offense taken, you are not my opponents. I already feel bad enough for tricking you into doing such a big task for me; if I were to beat you all half to death, would I still be Lin Yi?”

“Tell you what, I’ll return that old Wu Jue Dian later. If he holds you accountable, put all the blame on me, alright? I, Lin Yi, accept whatever comes my way.”

The attendants and the Martial Emperor Guard all looked puzzled: ???

Do you hear yourself? Does this even qualify as human language?

If blaming you could avert punishment, where would all these national officials reporting be in the world?

As he spoke, Lin Yi stored all the Spirit Awakening Stones and the three women into his Undead Space. Then, using the [Preventative Certificate], he tore open the space before him and slipped away, disappearing.

On Shadow Devouring Star, a bloody massacre was unfolding.

In human form, the Shadow Devouring King had a ferocious expression, ceaselessly cursing in his heart: Where did this damn human emerge from? Is this meant to destroy my Shadow Devouring Star?

What he brought was clearly a bloodthirsty beast gone mad!
