Chapter 1803: I’m Too Late as I Thought
The reason why Lin Huang left the two Black Abyss members to Zhao Xuan of Royal was because he did not have a method to interrogate them.
If he read their memories, it would trigger the Abyssal energy in their heads.
The outcome would be the same if he hypnotized them. The reason being was that hypnosis’ nature was also a psychic technique.
They could only interrogate those two, getting them to voluntarily reveal the information in order to avoid triggering the Abyssal energy in their heads.
Regarding techniques of that nature, Lin Huang was definitely not as well-versed as the professionals.
Secondly, he left the two behind intentionally; he had also left an imprint on their bodies.
He figured that there was a high chance that the Black Abyss would send heavenly dao-level powerhouses to rescue the two of them.
After all, the Black Abyss did not know that he had removed the Kingdoms in their bodies and that their combat strength had plummeted. To the Black Abyss, they would lose two heavenly dao-level powerhouses with powerful abilities if they left them alone.
If someone from the Black Abyss came to their rescue, he could hunt more Black Abyss members.
However, it would definitely not be Lin Huang’s Primordium who would stop them at that point, but his mirror clone.
The mirror clone was the clone Lin Huang had made using the Mirror Dao seal.
The mirror clone had the exact same level of ability as Lin Huang’s Primordium. Apart from the Goldfingers, the clone had almost perfectly copied his abilities, including his Kingdom and Dao seals.
Leaving the clone behind would be sufficient to handle the Black Abyss’ rescue operation.
Meanwhile, Lin Huang was still going forward with his original plan, which was to enter the heavenly dao-level mystic territory in Southern 61 Zone.
A heavenly dao-level mystic territory was rare.
If not for the unusually frequent appearance of mystic territories during recent years, the entire universe might not even see a single heavenly dao-level mystic territory opening in millions of years in the past.
Since it was rare that he got the opportunity to enter a heavenly dao-level mystic territory, it was only natural that Lin Huang was unwilling to pa.s.s it by.
After all, a clone would be enough to handle things in the universe.
After leaving Xuan Palace, Lin Huang headed straight to Yuan City in the Eastern Eight Zone.
Yuan City was Sovereign Yuan’s Kingdom projection, who was one of Royal’s three Sovereigns.
Although Lin Huang knew that it would be definitely too late for him to go over now, he still held onto a little hope as he made his way to Yuan City.
However, he confirmed that he was indeed too late as soon as he arrived at Yuan City.
The reason being was that… the entire Yuan City was gone.
Although the planets where Yuan City’s people lived were not greatly affected, Sovereign Yuan’s Kingdom projection was gone.
Lin Huang scanned the area with Divine Telekinesis and did not find Sovereign Yuan and the remaining heavenly dao-level powerhouse’s auras.
He only saw that Yuan Palace, which was covered with a layer of s.h.i.+elding, had completely collapsed.
Clearly, an intense battle had taken place here.
Lin Huang merely took a glance and did not examine the traces carefully. He headed straight to his next destination—Tian Capital.
Tian Capital was Nangong Tian’s Kingdom projection, who was one of Royal’s three Sovereigns.
He went to Tian Capital last because it was the furthest from Dongxuan City.
Nangong Tian had the most powerful abilities among the three Sovereigns. He was also one of Royal’s founders. Lin Huang had previously sensed that he had mastered close to nine million Dao seals.
When he made it to Tian Capital, just like Yuan City, it was gone.
Meanwhile, the Tian Palace that Nangong Tian resided in was damaged even worse than Yuan Palace. Almost the entire ground had been upended by all sorts of attacks. Not even one inch of the ground remained untouched.
It seemed like the attack Nangong Tian encountered was even more terrifying than the attack Sovereign Yuan had been through.
Lin Huang scanned his surroundings with his Divine Telekinesis. He did not find anything as well.
There was no sign of Nangong Tian, nor were there any other heavenly dao-level powerhouses left behind.
“I was too late as I expected…”
Although Lin Huang had seen this coming, he thought that it was quite a pity.
Saving people was his second priority in rus.h.i.+ng here. His main objective was actually to kill the Black Abyss’ heavenly dao-level powerhouses.
If he could stop the three attacks, he would have obtained at least six heavenly dao-level Kingdoms, or even more.
After scanning through Tian Palace with Divine Telekinesis, Lin Huang returned to the Feister Star Zone without looking thoroughly.
He did not have the time to investigate the exact situation of the two battlefields.
He knew that the Grade-SSS Union in the Eastern Eight Zone would definitely investigate it. At that point, he would just read the investigation report. There was no need for him to waste his time on it.
When he returned to the Feister Star Zone, the tremors in Dongxuan City had subsided completely.
However, the people were discussing it.
Many even guessed that Sovereign Xuan had been attacked.
Lin Huang clicked into a couple of information platforms on his communication ring. The reports of Tian Capital and Yuan City being destroyed were flooding in.
He speculated that topics related to Royal being attacked would be trending on all of the information platforms in the Eastern Eight Zone within half an hour.
Perhaps it would not be limited to the Eastern Eight Zone. Even the other zones might see the news as well.
However, the news of Sovereign Xuan surviving would definitely be revealed soon as well.
The Black Abyss would probably quickly find out that their ambush mission here had not been successful.
The reality was just as Lin Huang expected. The people from the Black Abyss only found out that the ambush targeting Sovereign Xuan had failed when they read the news on the internet.
The Black Abyss members usually would not convene after the mission was completed, nor would they provide feedback on the situation.
All they usually needed to do was submit a simple report on the outcome of the mission within 24 hours of the mission being completed.
They would communicate issues immediately if something happened during the mission. However, such a situation hardly occurred.
This time, the fiend and fox-face were defeated by Lin Huang too quickly. They did not have time to communicate anything. Not only that, Lin Huang removed their communication rings, so they could not communicate with others anyway.
Given that they had prepared adequately beforehand for the Black Abyss’ ambush mission this time, and that the arrangements were perfect, the mission should have encountered no difficulties. Theoretically, the success rate of the ambush was 100%. There was hardly any chance of failure.
It caused the remaining members to a.s.sume that the fiend and fox-face had completed the mission to ambush Sovereign Xuan successfully.
They only found out that something had gone wrong when they read news on the internet that only Tian Capital and Yuan City were destroyed, and that there was no news of Dongxuan City being destroyed at all. There was only news discussing the earthquake in Dongxuan City.
A few of them attempted to contact the fiend and fox-face but failed. Only then did they confirm that their mission had failed.
The people from the Black Abyss were rather confused about the failure of the mission. However, they did not head over to Dongxuan City rashly. Instead, they began to use their numerous spies to gather intelligence.
Within half a day, the Black Abyss had finally heard news from their spies.
The fiend and fox-face had been captured alive!
The person who did it was a mysterious white-robed man whose level of ability was suspected to be at half-step dominator-level!
They were completely shocked when they heard the two pieces of news. They held a meeting among the higher-ups without delay.
Meanwhile, the culprit, Lin Huang, headed over to Southern 61 Zone early the next day after resting for a day.
He left a mirror clone behind to guard the Feister Star Zone in Dongxuan City..
