The wind blowing through the valley was no longer as scorching hot as before. Instead, it was slightly cooling. However, the unique smell of burning still lingered in the air.
A general of the Jade Dragon Kingdom was in charge of receiving tens of thousands of Grassy Continent captives.
Currently, under the escort of the Jade Dragon Kingdom's soldiers, the tens of thousands of Grassy Continent's allied forces' captives had their heads lowered and their hands and feet tied up as they walked back in a line. On the horizon, one could see a snake-like procession that seemed to have no end.
Two days ago, when the allied army ambushed the Jade Dragon Kingdom, they had never experienced such a huge victory like today.
Now, rumors were flying all over the place.
They said that there were immortals backing the five countries.
Weren't immortals supposed to exist in the legends?
How could there still be immortals in this world?
Everyone had these questions. At first, it was a huge psychological burden. After all, they were only mortals. Even with the support of their pet beasts, they were still mortals.
How could mortals fight immortals?
To them, immortals represented the heavens. Humans couldn't possibly fight against the heavens.
However, Lin Jin's appearance had completely overturned this perception. The news of Appraiser Lin slaying four immortals single-handedly had spread like wildfire to all corners of the world.
After all, this wasn't just a rumor. Many people had witnessed it with their own eyes.
This included Maple City's city lord. None of them were liars and many of Maple City's citizens were saved by Appraiser Lin. Hence, no one dared to doubt this rumor.
This brought about an increase in his confidence.
Just half a day ago, this general of Jade Dragon Kingdom was still trembling in fear, even fearful. He thought the Jade Dragon Kingdom had no hope of winning this war. Even if the Spiral Nation came to their aid, it would still be useless.
Their opponents were too strong. Just two premium countries were enough to overwhelm them.
However, the situation had taken a drastic turn in such a short period of time.
Appraiser Lin had returned.
Everything had changed. The allied army of the Grassy Continent began to retreat. They had even captured more than a hundred thousand Grassy Continent soldiers.
According to Appraiser Lin, these Grassy Continent natives had come to destroy the jade dragon kingdom. Hence, they had to pay the price and become slave laborers to rebuild the kingdom.
No one dared to go against Appraiser Lin's words.
Not even Jade Dragon Kingdom's emperor had as much authority as Appraiser Lin.
This was not only a reflection of strength, but also a reflection of status.
It was an undeniable fact that Appraiser Lin had saved Jade Dragon City with his invincible might. Rumor had it that Emperor He Qian was planning to confer Lin Jin the title of Lord Protector, a rank one duke.
It could be said that Appraiser Lin's status was even higher than that of a king. In terms of official rank, he was second only to the emperor. However, everyone knew that Appraiser Lin's reputation had already surpassed Emperor He Qian.
Maple City had mostly been cleared and most of the rubble had been moved away. Although the Beast Appraisal Association was half-destroyed, there were still a few halls and buildings that remained intact.
At this moment, Jade Dragon's most elite Jade Armor Army was stationed here.
The Jade Armor Army was the best of the best in Jade Dragon Kingdom. Only Emperor He Qian could mobilize the Imperial Army and there were only a few thousand of them.
On normal days, the Jade Armor Army was responsible for protecting the Emperor.
But now, he was assigned to guard Maple City's Beast Appraisal Association branch because Lin Jin was currently recuperating inside.
It wasn't easy for anyone to meet Lin Jin now, not even Maple City's City Lord Bai Zhenkong or Zuo Wentang. Appraiser Lin was not to be disturbed. This was the emperor's decree.
Of course, this restriction didn't apply to some people.
For example, Lin Jin's disciples, Ye Yuzhou, and the others.
Since Lin Jin had spoken, no one dared to stop him.
Inside the hall, Lin Jin was sitting cross-legged alone. Casting the Heaven and Earth Furnace had taken a lot out of him. After all, he was still a mortal and it was the same for Xiao Huo.
Floating in front of the Li family was an enlarged egg of fire. Inside this egg was Xiao Huo.
Xiao Huo was also recovering his strength.
Lin Jin actually had three types of pet beasts. The first was Xiao Huo, the second and third were the ghost blood beast, and the spirit devourer ghost worm.
The spirit devourer ghost worm was something Lin Jin managed to form a blood pact with using a special method. It was an unconventional move and could be considered his third type of pet beast.
The ghost blood beast could regenerate endlessly so the damage he suffered earlier wasn't a big deal. As for the spirit devourer ghost worm, it could breed quickly. Every time an immortal was killed, a spirit devourer ghost worm seed would be born. Lin Jin didn't have to worry about the seed breeding inside the ghost blood beast.
However, after some careful analysis, Lin Jin concluded that it was pure luck that allowed him to kill that immortal physique.
The immortal physique was too powerful. Lin Jin didn't have time to analyze it during the battle, but now that he thought about it, this immortal physique was the only immortal Lin Jin had encountered who could withstand the spirit devourer ghost worm.
Especially when the spirit devourer ghost worm had already entered his body, the immortal was able to use his diamond body to defend himself. It was truly unbelievable.
However, it was also because of his diamond body that the immortal physique was melted by the Heaven and Earth Furnace. This was one of the disadvantages of the diamond body that the furnace was able to restrain.
Otherwise, Lin Jin couldn't think of a better way to kill this immortal physique.
The problem now was, what would the Beast God Cult and Patriarch Xue Pao do next?
It was impossible for them to coexist peacefully. Both parties didn't have any means of communication so they would most likely continue fighting. Lin Jin had to plan ahead.
Just then, Shang'er walked in. Behind her were two tall figures, followed by an extremely thick demonic aura.
In fact, from the moment these two arrived at Maple City, everyone in the city could feel it. It was as if an invisible mountain was pressing down on them.
Especially those with high-level pet beasts. They couldn't even stand up to these two figures.
The same went for the Jade Armor Army guarding the hall. Because it was almost certain that these two people who looked like humans weren't humans at all. The shorter one among them was about three meters tall, while the taller one was like a giant. Especially his facial features, no matter how you looked at it, he looked like a ferocious tiger!
"Cave Master!"
"Brother Lin!"
Both of them greeted Lin Jin as soon as they entered.
They were Taoist Hu and the golden-winged monster, whom Lin Jin had met in Liangzhou.
Lin Jin was now the cave master of the Demonic Black Wind Cave. At his command, thousands of ferocious monsters would flatten everything. Due to Liangzhou's remote location, the monsters in the Demonic Black Wind Cave had obeyed Lin Jin's orders to cultivate obediently and not go out to cause trouble. Hence, Taoist Hu and the others had no idea that the Five Countries of Grassy Continent had mobilized their troops against the Jade Dragon Kingdom.
It was only after they found out that they rushed over.
Taoist Hu was almost at the level of an immortal while the golden-winged monster was already at the immortal realm. With these two monsters joining the fray, Lin Jin now had a few more useful helpers.
But this wasn't enough.
Lin Jin turned to Shang'er.
Among the fox demons, Shang'er was at Rank 5 and the most talented. Other than her, no one else had the chance to advance to the immortal realm in the near future. In other words, they were Rank 6 pet beasts.
His opponents were too strong so Lin Jin had to increase his bargaining chips.
