Global Game: I, the Necromancer, am the scourge

Chapter 739: Chapter 458 Public Extortion_2

“””

With their fifth-tier epic strength, wherever they go, they can reap benefits, can’t they?

As for gathering a million professionals and fifteen thousand fifth-tier epics to conquer the [Land of the Dead]?

Ha, what a joke.

Is it possible that in wars no one dies?

Could a few first, second, and third-tier soldiers actually overwhelm a sixth-tier legendary?

...

Even if people stood there letting these soldiers poke them, they couldn’t break through a layer of oil skin!

If a war truly broke out, wouldn’t it be those of us with fifth-tier epic strength who had to step up?

Fighting a sixth-tier legendary, even if you don’t die, you’d lose a layer of skin—that kind of thankless task isn’t worth it.

We’ve been following the old Buddha into the Sea of Realms for hundreds of years, each of us with a family to support.

If we die, our families would instantly decline and possibly be devoured by other families.

If our lives weren’t under the control of that old witch, we would have gone our separate ways long ago.

Now serving as officials for the Wild Boar Skin dynasty, it’s just to enrich our own families.

Truly forcing them to risk it all, they’d run faster than rabbits!

After all, how much money can they really give for serving the Wild Boar Skin dynasty?

An annual salary isn’t even enough for a meal at the Ziyun Pavilion!

“Venerable One, is there anything else Ziyun Pavilion can assist you with?”

Watching a group of military officers flee, the Ziyun Pavilion’s warden immediately approached, adopting an exceedingly humble demeanor.

Unrestrainedly killing a City Lord in front of the whole city, this master didn’t regard the Wild Boar Skin dynasty at all.

However, with his kind of power, as long as he didn’t rebel, those rat-tailed money-chasers sitting in the golden throne room would surely downplay the incident.

A sixth-tier legendary has such a presence in the first layer of the Sea of Realms!

To hunt down such an existence, at least three of the same tier are needed, along with various control measures.

If the opponent escapes, it would be an unending threat.

Given the internal and external troubles of the Wild Boar Skin dynasty, offending such a terrifying being would not be wise.

“Detailed intelligence on the entire Wild Boar Skin dynasty as it exists now, and intelligence on the Sea of Realms’ alien races eyeing us covetously.”

Fingers tapped on the table, the “da da” sound tugging at heartstrings, making the hearts of the five Ziyun Pavilion wardens suspend.

Fearing this master would summon that [Ghost Gate Pass], drawing them into dried husks and dragging their Spirits into the Netherworld Purgatory.

“We will immediately fetch the relevant intelligence data for you; please wait a moment. Old Five, tell the small kitchen to prepare an exquisite feast and make sure to serve the Venerable One well!”

The leading warden finished speaking with nods and bows before immediately instructing a companion.

Then he cupped his hands in salute, exited room number three, flew downstairs, and entered the second basement level through a secret passage to their residence.

Many important confidential intelligence documents were under the care of these five wardens.

Zi Liyuan wanted comprehensive intelligence on the entire Wild Boar Skin dynasty, which naturally included many secret files.

As for the alien races of the Sea of Realms coveting the dynasty, their intelligence wasn’t too secretive; any power with some means could access this information.

In less than five minutes, the warden returned before Zi Liyuan, respectfully presenting a few jade slips.

“Venerable One, the first two jade slips are the detailed intelligence you requested. The latter slips, one contains the detailed map of the entire Wild Boar Skin dynasty’s territory, another is the map of the Sea of Realms’ alien races’ territories, and another shows partial maps of the first layer of Sea of Realms.”

If the information was to be given, it was given in full!

Obviously, this Death Lord was a newcomer Lord who had just integrated into the first layer of the Sea of Realms.

Having just joined the first layer of the Sea of Realms and already possessing sixth-tier legendary strength, quite the prodigy!

Fifth-tier comprehend certain rules, sixth-tier command certain rules, seventh-tier integrates rules.

Numerous strong individuals stuck at the fifth tier; in the Wild Boar Skin dynasty, there are definitely less than a hundred who have reached the sixth-tier legendary.

This Death Lord has been in the Sea of Realms for less than half a year and already possesses sixth-tier legendary strength; could reaching the Seventh-Grade Sanctum in the future still be far off?

It’s likely this is another future Great Emperor!

After all, as far as they know, during their exploits in the Sea of Realms, Emperor Qin, Han Wu, Tang Zong, and Ming Zu—four Great Emperors—took several years to break into the sixth-tier legendary!

Among these four, three are acknowledged for having unparalleled talent; yet even they weren’t this extraordinary back then, so it’s conceivable how terrifyingly talented this Death Lord must be.

Thus, it wasn’t wrong to cozy up early, right?

This was certainly a gamble for Ziyun Pavilion’s future!

Moreover, it’s just some intelligence and maps; such things are plentiful.

Collected by the organization at no personal cost, so it wasn’t his concern!

Zi Liyuan didn’t speak; instead, his Spirit scanned the jade slips one by one.

A flood of intelligence information surged into his mind.

To be fair, Ziyun Pavilion really excelled in the terrifying detail of intelligence collection, given they specialized in peddling various information.

Take the Wild Boar Skin dynasty, for instance, with records of who the emperor is, his strength, how many concubines he has, their strength—it’s all documented.

Additionally, there are detailed records on all the princes.

There was even a confidential piece of intelligence listing the names of the sixth-tier legendary serving the court within the Wild Boar Skin dynasty.

In the Wild Boar Skin dynasty, those reaching the sixth-tier legendary officially numbered thirteen.

Among them, the most robust in strength is the current controller of the Wild Boar Skin dynasty—Kang Mazi.

At the peak of the sixth tier, and with the aid of national karma, he can break into a pseudo-seventh tier, overpowering other sixth-tier legendaries.

The one who caught Zi Liyuan’s attention most from the Wild Boar Skin dynasty was that old witch.

She also boasted sixth-tier strength, though it was unclear what treasure she used to elevate herself.

However, data indicated she controlled a certain formation, capable of harnessing the power of her subordinates for her own control, and she could likewise unleash pseudo-seventh-tier combat power.

This is why, even though Kang Mazi didn’t tolerate her, she continued to revel in her power within her domain, and her territory was continually expanding over the years.

There would surely be a battle between [Land of the Dead] and the territory controlled by the old witch.

Naturally, Zi was concerned about the opponent’s strength and power dynamics, wanting to know even the briefs they wore.

Err, except for the briefs, which, according to earlier intelligence from Ziyun Pavilion, included details on what and what color briefs the old witch wore today.

Besides this, what surprised Zi was the fact that the emperor of the Wild Boar Skin dynasty had only four surviving ones.

Kang Mazi, Yongzheng, Tongzhi, and Guangxu, the four of them.

Back on Blue Star, Tongzhi was the puppet emperor set up by the old witch; unexpectedly, within the Sea of Realms, it was Kang Mazi who gave him a fiefdom, making him the king of a province, wielding real power.

Glorious Xu was the most miserable of them, still under the control of the old witch and considered the weakest royal in the Wild Boar Skin dynasty, with only fourth-tier strength.

“Well, well, normally the old witch wouldn’t be able to break through using national karma; who knew she’d directly seize Guangxu’s national karma power.”

A confidential report indicated the old witch used a certain treasure to break through to fifth-tier strength, then relied on seizing Guangxu’s national karma power to barely break into sixth-tier legendary.

To be fair, the old witch’s skills are indeed impressive, not only grabbing the Wild Boar Skin dynasty’s national karma but also keeping Kang Mazi from daring to act against her.

“Hmm, there’s even hidden intelligence on the Hidden Guards; the power behind Ziyun Pavilion…”

Behind Ziyun Pavilion, there was definitely a royal supporting it!

The intelligence on the Hidden Guards was extremely detailed.

Rather than Hidden Guards, they’re more like deadmen: three sixth-tier deadmen and ninety-seven fifth-tier deadmen.

Not just one hundred individuals, they were recorded with detailed profile information only after reaching the fifth tier.

“Kang Mazi’s trained them to answer only to him; others wishing to mobilize them need a special token…”
