Demile's soul was directly devoured by Lin Chen.

[Soul Cultivation +50000!]

Unexpectedly, he gained 50,000 soul cultivation experience!

This was an unexpected surprise.

If Lin Chen's level wasn't too low, suppressing half of his soul experience, it would have been 100,000 experience points!

But Lin Chen didn't regret it.

He wouldn't keep Demile's soul.

The Deme family, none of them would survive!

Next, Lin Chen cleaned up the battlefield and personally killed Demijia, who had been crippled and seriously injured by Kong Yan.

And he also devoured his soul.

[Soul Cultivation +40000!]

In addition, killing these two also allowed Lin Chen to level up to 158!

Only two levels away, Lin Chen would reach level 160.

But, there was still a distance to level 180.

However, Lin Chen still had places to level up.

After settling the affairs here, he would set off to clear the surrounding Boss nests.

Plus the experience in the Trial Tower, reaching first evolution wouldn't be difficult.

At that time, Lin Chen's soul cultivation would be much smoother.

Next, Lin Chen cleaned up the spoils of war...

This was the biggest harvest!

Demile, Demijia, and their several sons all had storage rings on them.

They had all been obliterated.

Therefore, he could directly take out the items in the storage rings.

The supplies were as follows:

Ten million ordinary soul crystals.

Three million medium soul crystals.

Six million high-grade soul crystals.

Eight hundred thousand supreme soul crystals.

Ninety thousand dazzling soul crystals!

These should be all the current assets of the Deme family.

To be honest, these things weren't even as much as Lin Chen had.

In addition, Lin Chen also found a total of 30 million gold coins.

There was also a lot of equipment... but the quality of this equipment wasn't very good, so Lin Chen asked Zhang Chunlin to collect it and planned to sell it directly to Winter.

Next was naturally rewarding merits.

First, everyone who participated in resisting the Deme family received at least one thousand ordinary soul crystals and one thousand gold coins each.

Then, those who contributed greatly would be rewarded separately.

Lin Chen spent a total of 300,000 soul crystals and 500,000 gold coins to reward everyone.

Of course, those who wanted to surrender to the Deme family with Liu Hai and others didn't receive any rewards.

On the contrary, it was time to judge them.

But at this time, Lin Chen didn't show up, but said coldly: "This city lord said, if you want to stay, you must be united. If you can't do it, you can leave on your own. But, this doesn't mean that this city lord can tolerate you defecting to the enemy and helping outsiders to deal with Tianyue City! Today, Liu Hai, Wang Shangfang, Liu Yue and others will all be handed over to the deputy city lord for trial and adjudication!"

Lin Chen handed over the job of playing the heavy to Zhang Chunlin again.

However, Zhang Chunlin didn't have any resistance, on the contrary, he was very excited, and said coldly: "Liu Hai, Wang Shangfang! Do you think I don't know what you have done? In the past two days, you first secretly contacted Dela, and then went around trying to persuade people to surrender with you... Since you have decided to surrender to outsiders, then our Tianyue City naturally cannot tolerate you!"

"Then let us go..."

Liu Hai, who had just been unsealed, looked at the corpses of the Deme family members all over the ground at this time. Coupled with the fact that Lin Chen was able to defeat Demile, he was naturally greatly shocked and hit hard. He was already desperate.

He felt that life had lost its meaning.

But Zhang Chunlin's words rekindled a glimmer of desire for survival...

"Let me go, Zhang Chunlin... we are classmates!" Wang Shangfang also begged.

"Classmates?"

Zhang Chunlin sneered: "When you were slandering me and the city lord everywhere, did you ever think that we were classmates? Also, when you surrendered to Dela and wanted to instigate the residents of Tianyue City for him, did you ever think that we were classmates? And now, you are telling me that we are classmates? Hmph! Precisely because we are classmates, this is even more hateful! Now, I announce the results of the punishment for all the traitors today!"

Everyone looked at Zhang Chunlin.

They didn't know how he would deal with these traitors.

Zhang Chunlin glanced around the crowd, waited for three seconds, and then continued loudly: "From today onwards, anyone who is unwilling to stay in Tianyue City can leave on their own, but if they still stay and betray Tianyue City, then all of them... will be used to feed the Green Python Boss outside the city!"

Boom!

This decision caused a great sensation in the crowd.

Liu Hai and Wang Shangfang were directly dumbfounded.

The betrayers were also buzzing in their heads.

On the contrary, other residents were discussing it...

"Actually feeding monsters?"

"Isn't this a bit too much!"

"Not too much! Do you know how they would treat us if we lost today?"

"That's right, support the deputy city lord!"

"..."

In fact, the thinking of the crowd had not completely changed.

Some people actually thought that Zhang Chunlin's disposal method was too brutal, and even used the word excessive to describe it...

But even Liu Quan spoke up: "I advise everyone, now is no longer the peaceful era dominated by the Blue Star countries. In this world, if you don't have strength, you don't have the right to talk about any human rights! So, if there are still people who think the punishment is excessive, I advise you to leave Tianyue City now."

Liu Quan was one of the ten elders of the Dragon Kingdom era.

He was still the controller of the military!

And now, even he had stood up and said this.

Who dared to have any objections?

"Don't worry, everyone, as long as you are loyal to Tianyue City and loyal to the city lord, the city lord will not treat you badly in the future... This time, defeating the Deme family, the city lord is very satisfied with everyone's performance, so he will reward you with many things!"

Zhang Chunlin then came out to give everyone a sweet date.

However, those traitors didn't have such good treatment.

"They would rather be dogs for the Deme family and even offer their own sisters. Such scum... is really not worthy of your sympathy! I once said to Liu Hai and Wang Shangfang that if they went to the Deme family, they could only be slaves to the Deme family, but if they stayed in Tianyue City, at least they would still be human!"

Jiang Tingting also spoke.

This time, the crowd was in an uproar.

"What? They surrendered to the Deme family to be slaves?"

"I can't stand this. I originally thought they might be excusable, but now... they don't want to be decent people, let them stand properly, but they choose to lick outsiders?"

"Just kill them, I really feel disgusted seeing these people now!"

"..."

In fact, all Blue Star Dragon Kingdom people still had a strong sense of identity.

After Jiang Tingting stood up and said those words, many people who had previously thought Zhang Chunlin's disposal was excessive all changed their minds.

Even, many people directly threw stones at them.

Instantly, they were bleeding from their heads.

"Don't throw them, it won't look good later, what if the Green Python Boss doesn't like to eat them?"

Zhang Chunlin stopped the crowd.

Then, he immediately ordered: "Everyone, help clean up the corpses and take them all to the Green Python Pool to feed the Green Python!"

The battlefield was quickly cleaned up by tens of thousands of people.

Zhang Chunlin also led the team out of the city and went to the Green Python Pool.

In addition, those who should go mining continued to mine.

At the same time, Liu Mengyao also brought Kong Yan and Kong Lin to Tianyue City.

She was a little worried and talked to Kong Yan for a long time before Kong Yan reluctantly agreed to come and see.

As a result, she didn't expect that the battle had ended so quickly.

Liu Mengyao was very happy to see Lin Chen unharmed.

She even jumped up with joy.

But, before she could talk to Lin Chen, several airships came in the sky again.

"Congratulations to City Lord Lin for winning the Tianyue City defense battle... However, City Lord Lin, you have gone too far by killing everyone in the Deme family, leaving no one behind, haven't you? How can this province lord explain to the council and the king?"

Jin Qiang's voice rang out over Tianyue City.

"Is the province lord here to question us?" Lin Chen asked rhetorically: "In that case, why didn't the province lord stand up when the Deme family invaded my Tianyue City?"

"Haha... City Lord Lin has misunderstood! Jin Qiang, greetings to the two seniors from the Light Saint Maiden Clan!"

Jin Qiang came out of the airship.

It could be seen that behind him were also people from the seven major families.

As soon as he came out, he saw Kong Yan and Kong Lin, and his previous attitude instantly changed.

Jin Qiang led the people down from the airship and came to Lin Chen.

"Greetings, province lord."

Lin Chen greeted him with Liu Mengyao.

"City Lord Lin, you are truly a young hero!"

Jin Qiang laughed, and then explained: "Just now, this province lord was actually just joking with you... This time, this province lord did know about the war between Deburg and Tianyue City beforehand. But, that was due to the rules. Deburg notified this province lord in advance, and during the war, they were upright and did not use any underhanded means, then this battle was a legitimate power struggle! The kingdom recognizes such legitimate wars, including the results."

"Then what is the purpose of the province lord's visit?" Lin Chen asked in confusion.

Jin Qiang smiled: "The Deme family has fallen, and Deburg and all the Deme family's fiefs, as well as many industries, naturally need someone to take over. And according to the rules, their industries should actually be inherited by Tianyue City in part, and then the kingdom will reclaim part of it... City Lord Lin, shouldn't we go into the city lord's mansion and have a good talk?"

"Please!"

Hearing this, Lin Chen naturally had no objection.

Jin Qiang had recognized the results of the war.

Now, it was time to divide the spoils.

But how to divide them?

After all, what remained of Deburg now should be just an empty shell.

Jin Qiang sat on the main seat in the city lord's mansion, but Lin Chen this time sat next to him. Such a seating arrangement showed that Jin Qiang seemed to be deliberately trying to win over Lin Chen.

It could even be said that Lin Chen, who had just defeated Deburg, not only did not arouse the jealousy of Jin Qiang and the forces behind him, but on the contrary, seemed to be gaining popularity.

"The Deme family's fiefs total 30,000 hectares. City Lord Lin should not need land, because... this province lord's idea is that this time, City Lord Lin might as well hand over all of the Deme family's territory to the empire! Of course, Tianyue City can be exempted from taxes for half a year and does not have to pay tribute to the empire. City Lord Lin, are you willing to accept such an arrangement?"

Jin Qiang was also direct.

He wanted to take back all of the Deme family's fiefs.

And the benefit that Tianyue City received was that it didn't have to pay tribute for half a year.

Calculated, it could save 30 million soul crystals!

This was a considerable sum!

Even if they bought land, they could buy 10,000 hectares.

It could be said that Jin Qiang's proposal was very reasonable.

"Lin Chen has no objection!" Lin Chen naturally agreed.

However, after Lin Chen agreed, the faces of the other seven families changed drastically.

Even their faces turned dark.

"The fiefs were exchanged for by our ancestors with their illustrious military exploits back then. Now, can the imperial court take them all back with just one sentence? Today, the Deme family is in such a state. Maybe one day, it will be our seven families' turn, right?"

At this time, a clan leader stood up with a very bad expression.

He left a sentence and then left directly!

Okay, today, I won't wait until midnight. I will try to update earlier in the future!
