Death's Scythe headquarters. Zang Tian's office.
Zang Tian immediately blocked off the outside world.
"What exactly are these raiders, transmigrators, and reincarnators you speak of?" Although he'd heard many secrets from Zhan Zhuo, he still didn't really understand what these so-called raiders, transmigrators, and reincarnators were.
"I can't explain it to you right now. And the more you know, the more trouble you'll cause. "Lin Huang didn't plan on explaining." All I can tell you is that the raiders are an evil organization. All the monstrously talented experts were their hunting targets. In order to become strong, these people will do anything. I even know that there are raiders who are willing to lay low for tens of thousands of years, slowly approaching their targets, pretending to be the target's best friend, all for the sake of stealing a treasure from the target. "
A chill ran down Zang Tian's spine. After a moment of silence, he couldn't help but ask.
"Do you really plan on fighting these guys by yourself? If it's as you say, then the other raiders are as strong as Zhan Zhuo, or even stronger. Given your current strength, you probably won't be able to handle them. "
"Given my current strength, I really won't be able to handle them. But my strength will increase, and I won't be alone. "Lin Huang had actually already come up with a plan.
"Why don't you just drag the Wargod Temple down with you?" Zang Tian asked. "If we hand Zhan Zhuo over to Zhan Zhuo, the raiders' first target will definitely be the Wargod Temple. By then, the Wargod Temple will have no choice but to think of a way to fight the raiders. "
"And, the Wargod Temple is a veteran seven-star organization in the God Realm. Given their reputation, and given that they're willing to pay a certain price, it won't be hard for them to invite the Lords of other seven-star organizations. They might be able to fight the raiders for a bit. "
"If we really hand Zhan Zhuo over to the Wargod Temple alive, the final result will most likely be that the Wargod Temple will come to terms with the raiders and hand Zhan Zhuo over, rather than fight the raiders." Lin Huang shook his head after hearing this. "An Intermediate Lord is too powerful. The Wargod Temple won't make an enemy out of an Intermediate Lord just for Zhan Zhuo. "
"That's true. The resources of the major worlds weren't enough to nurture Intermediate Sovereigns at all. Most of the Sovereigns of the major organizations will head to the Stellar Sea when they have condensed seven or eight Daoist seals, much less intermediate Sovereigns who have condensed ten Daoist seals. "Zang Tian frowned and nodded slightly.
"I'll figure out a way to deal with the Marauders. If I really can't handle it, I can go into hiding, "Lin Huang continued," You and Death's Scythe should stay out of this. "
Zang Tian didn't look too good, but he knew what Lin Huang meant.
Lin Huang was a lone wolf. If he really couldn't beat him, he could still escape. However, Death's Scythe's family was huge, and if he was targeted by the Marauders, there was no way he could escape.
"Quickly announce the news of your elevation to Lord in the next few days, so that Death's Scythe can ascend to a grade-7 organization as soon as possible. Once Death's Scythe ascends to a grade-7 organization, it'll become the focus of attention for a short period of time. The Marauders won't risk becoming the God Territory's public enemy to attack Death's Scythe under such circumstances.
"As for Elder Sun's matter, you don't have to continue investigating it. Leave it to me. I'll avenge Old Sun.
"Also, there must be a traitor behind the leak of your unification coordinates. The traitor must be one of the seven Blood Sickles, and there might even be more than one. "
"Whether Old Sun was silenced because he was a traitor or not, you still have to be wary of the other six," Lin Huang reminded him again.
"I know." Zang Tian's brows were tightly knitted.
After chatting with Zang Tian for a while longer about Death's Scythe, Lin Huang finally left.
When he returned to Devil Hunter Star Zone's Pfister Planet, the first thing Lin Huang did was pass Zhan Zhuo's storage ring to Hong Zhuang to unlock.
He then put Zhan Zhuo's ancient temple up for auction at Royal's auction house. The condition for the transaction was still half-step Lord God Territory, and there was no restriction on the type. As for the auction, it was only up for 24 hours.
The Marauders could come to him at any time. This was the limit of what he could wait.
After doing all this, Lin Huang looked for Sword1 and asked him to organize the Sword Alliance members to start evacuating all the residents on Pfister Planet.
He had already told Zang Tian that if the Marauders came to Death's Scythe and asked for his address, he should not resist and just give it to them.
It was only a matter of time before the Marauders found this place. Once the war started, there was basically no way anyone below lord-level would survive.
Sword1 had wanted to ask for more details, but seeing that Lin Huang did not want to talk about it, he did not ask further. However, he also vaguely guessed that it had something to do with the Marauders. Having always been deeply confident in his abilities, he naturally knew how terrifying the Marauders were. He also knew that he would not be of much help at all if he had not elevated to lord-level.
When he returned to his courtyard, Lin Huang sat down on a stone bench in the gazebo. He turned on his communicator and found Virtuoso's name on the message page.
After staring at Virtuoso's name and pondering for a moment, he composed a message and sent it.
"I've been targeted by the Marauders."
A moment later, Virtuoso's video call request suddenly lit up.
After Lin Huang accepted the call, Virtuoso's masked silhouette was projected in the gazebo.
"What's going on?! How did you suddenly provoke the Marauders? "
"I killed one of their members. They should be coming for me soon," Lin Huang said with a smile.
"Are the Marauders in this world that weak?" Virtuoso was rather surprised. "As far as I know, the Marauders don't really recruit members below lord-level."
"The one I killed was a lord-level," Lin Huang explained. He did not really mind exposing a little of his abilities in front of Virtuoso. This was because his abilities would increase even more in a few days' time.
Virtuoso was obviously stunned for a moment. They hurriedly asked, "What level has your combat strength increased to?!"
"I'm eighth-rank now." Lin Huang did not hide the truth.
"That fast?!" Virtuoso could not help exclaiming, "A Goldfinger that can rapidly increase combat strength … I want that too!"
Virtuoso had clearly misunderstood. They thought that Lin Huang's Goldfinger's ability was more inclined toward increasing combat strength.
"You're pretty amazing to be able to kill a lord-level at eighth-rank," Virtuoso praised again.
"Stop praising me. Help me think of a way." Lin Huang smiled. "If I can't solve this crisis, I'll probably be dead in a few days."
"I think you can ask those fellows from the Club for help," Virtuoso said after some thought.
"Is there an intermediate lord-level among the three from the Club?" Lin Huang asked quickly.
In reality, he was not afraid of most of the Marauders. What he was afraid of was the grade-2 member, as well as the suspected grade-2 "Spies".
"I'm not sure about that. However, I think there's a high chance that there's none. Intermediate lord-level usually go to the universe. They won't stay. " Virtuoso shrugged, then looked at Lin Huang again. "Are you sure there's an intermediate lord-level among the Marauders in this world?"
"There's one confirmed, and there's one suspected." Lin Huang did not hide the truth.
Virtuoso fell silent for a moment after hearing that. They only lifted their heads after a long while. "If you really can't do it, you should just run away. Run to the universe. With your current abilities, you should be able to protect yourself there, if you can. "
"…"
Lin Huang was speechless when he heard this suggestion.
