Apocalypse: My Tattoos are Ten Yama Kings-Chapter 205 - 199: The Power of the Yin Law Department, Chains of Law

Purely defensive measures are ultimately not a solution.

Especially at the critical moment when they are about to build the Giant City.

Destruction is always easier than construction; Lin Yuan had already proven this personally during the super-large Deceitful Demon incident in Tang City.

It must be recognized that this time they are facing Evil Spirits that can come at any time.

Moreover, it's ordinary people who are responsible for the construction.

Once there's an Evil Spirit attack, it can easily cause panic and anxiety among people.

By then, successfully building the city would be exceptionally difficult.

During this trip to Emperor Dragon City, Lin Yuan certainly had a moment in the spotlight.

Additionally, Peng City being able to secure a spot as one of the Nine Cities can also largely be attributed to Lin Yuan.

The events concerning Lin Yuan in Emperor Dragon City have spread to Peng City.

Upon hearing Lin Yuan mention that he had a bold idea, everyone shifted their gaze toward him.

Yang Dingguo thought to himself, a bold idea, let's see just how bold it is.

"What's the plan? Let's hear it." Yang Dingguo asked.

"Kill!"

"It's better to channel than to block!"

"Pure defense is less effective than proactive attack."

"I'll capture a few Tier Five Evil Spirits with corpses, beat them half-dead, and hang them near the construction site!"

"Powerful Evil Spirits' intelligence is no less than that of ordinary people; they will naturally understand the cost of disturbing our construction."

"As for those mindless Low Tier Evil Spirits, we can send a few people to deal with them."

"Moreover, after controlling the Tier Five Evil Spirits, not only can we deter other Evil Spirits, but we can also use those controlled Evil Spirits as our labor force," Lin Yuan proposed.

The reason Lin Yuan proposed this idea was that he had thoroughly mastered the power of the Praise Department.

At this moment, he was in the process of integrating the power of the Yin Law Department.

The ability of the Yin Law Department is to constrain Evil Spirits. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

If Lin Yuan could capture powerful Evil Spirits, he could formulate Yin Laws targeting these Evil Spirits.

The Yin Laws would transform into chains of law, restraining the movements of Evil Spirits.

Evil Spirits bound by the chains of law must fully comply with the Yin Laws Lin Yuan establishes, otherwise, they would endure pain far beyond death.

After initially mastering the capabilities of the Yin Law Department, Lin Yuan could not only use Tier Five Evil Spirits to deter other Evil Spirits.

He could also manipulate those Evil Spirits with corpses to help with the work.

For example, the Golden Armor Zombie they encountered before had capabilities that were well-suited for helping Lin Yuan build the city.

Unfortunately, they had already dealt with that Golden Armor Zombie.

Using Evil Spirits as labor, especially powerful ones, was simply an ingenious idea.

A powerful Evil Spirit, when put to work, could achieve a working efficiency far greater than engineering machinery.

Lin Yuan slowly explained his idea to everyone present.

After hearing Lin Yuan's explanation, everyone stared at him in bewilderment.

Since the beginning of the bizarre invasion, the usual approach toward Evil Spirits was to kill them and absorb the Deceitful Qi.

No one among these people had ever heard of any methods for controlling Evil Spirits.

Even though Yang Dingguo was quite knowledgeable, it took him a long time to regain his composure at this moment.

"You..."

"Are you sure this method would work?"

"You must think it over carefully; if there happens to be any slip-up, the consequences could be very severe!" Yang Dingguo advised earnestly.

Controlling Evil Spirits, using Evil Spirits to deter other Evil Spirits, even using Evil Spirits as labor.

If these things could be accomplished, it would certainly be for the best.

If this matter were successful, Peng City might become the first to complete the Giant City.

It could even be faster than Emperor Dragon City and Demon Dragon City.

However, the greater the rewards, the greater the risks.

If things got out of control, they would be utterly unprepared.

By then, if the Evil Spirits caused chaos from within, it would be too late to regret.

Just as Yang Dingguo finished speaking, some other department heads of Peng City also stood up to express their opinions.

"I think we should be prudent about this. Controlling Evil Spirits, I've never heard of such a method before!"

"Since we've already secured a spot as one of the Nine Cities, I think it's better to prioritize stability at this stage."

"Exactly! If something goes wrong now, not only would Peng City suffer, but whether we can keep this spot would become an unknown factor."

...

...

The heads of various departments in Peng City all began to speak, in summary, their advice was to remain conservative.

The risk of controlling Evil Spirits was simply too high.

Keep in mind, Peng City securing this spot hadn't come easily, many cities are not convinced.

If the attempt to control the Evil Spirits failed and the Evil Spirits lost control, causing disturbances in Peng City.

At that point, cities like Ninghai City would certainly seize the opportunity to take away this spot from Peng City.

Moreover, most of the people present were ordinary people.

They were not Life Pattern Masters and did not possess Extraordinary Abilities.

In their eyes, Lin Yuan was very powerful, but the Evil Spirits were also terrifying.

They simply could not comprehend Lin Yuan's current strength.

Therefore, naturally, they preferred to prioritize stability.

When everyone was opposing Lin Yuan's radical idea, Yang Dingguo didn't speak, he kept his eyes fixed on Lin Yuan.

After everyone finished speaking, Yang Dingguo looked at Lin Yuan and asked, "How confident are you about this matter?"

Since Lin Yuan proposed such an idea, he must be confident.

Lin Yuan absolutely trusted the capabilities of the Four Departments.

"I can't guarantee 100%, but I'm 80-90% confident!" Lin Yuan answered seriously.

Yang Dingguo propped himself up with his hand on the conference table and stood up. After glancing around at everyone, he said to Lin Yuan, "I believe in you. Since you think it's feasible, go ahead and do it!"

"Without you, Peng City wouldn't have even gotten a spot in the Nine Cities Plan."

"Peng City rises because of you, and will surely flourish because of you. Whatever you want to do, do it boldly!"

At this critical moment, Yang Dingguo chose to unconditionally trust Lin Yuan.

Yang Dingguo's words moved Lin Yuan deeply.

Good wine is easy to get, but a true friend is hard to find.

Even though he and Yang Dingguo had a significant age gap, in Lin Yuan's eyes, Yang Dingguo was truly his confidant!

Moreover, from Yang Dingguo's words, it was clear that in his eyes, Lin Yuan was his successor.

It's even fair to say that all the efforts Yang Dingguo was making now were paving the way for Lin Yuan.

Yang Dingguo already had one foot in the grave. All things considered, how many more years could he live?

He might not even live to see the day the Giant City is completed.

In the end, Peng City would still belong to Lin Yuan.

Even back in Emperor Dragon City, when Ye Qing wanted to poach him,

Yang Dingguo worried that Lin Yuan might leave Peng City and choose Emperor Dragon City instead.

After all, in terms of enhancing one's abilities, staying in Emperor Dragon City was definitely the best option.

Emperor Dragon City had more resources, and staying there, Lin Yuan could receive guidance from the Dean at any time.

Everyone knew this person was the top strategist in Dragon Country.

One word from him could save Lin Yuan a lot of detours.

But in the end, Lin Yuan still chose to return to Peng City and choose him, Yang Dingguo.

This was absolute trust between them.

"Elder Yang, this is really too risky!"

"You need to consider it carefully!" Seeing Yang Dingguo supporting Lin Yuan, someone anxiously said.

However, Yang Dingguo slapped the table and said in a stern tone, "This matter is settled!"

"Lin Yuan, you're in charge of this matter!"

Yang Dingguo had absolute control over Peng City.

With words reaching this point, no one dared to oppose anymore.

Lin Yuan sat there, stroked his chin, and thought, "Old Yang, you trust me so much, I'm feeling a bit pressured!"

Although Lin Yuan had mastered the abilities of the Yin Law Department, he hadn't used them yet.

With Yang Dingguo trusting him so much, he couldn't let him down!

With that in mind, Lin Yuan decided to find a Tier Five Evil Spirit tomorrow to test the abilities of the Yin Law Department.

Just to avoid any unexpected failures.

With Lin Yuan's current strength, slaying a Tier Five Evil Spirit was no problem at all.

Even the Great Black Heaven would tremble at the sight of the current Lin Yuan.

However, control and slaying are different matters, caution was still needed.

Lin Yuan was boastful in strategy but very cautious in tactics.

Soon, the meeting concluded.

In terms of city attack security, it would still mainly follow Lin Yuan's plan.

Of course, recruiting civilian Life Pattern Masters should still continue.

After all, Life Pattern Masters are a strategic resource, and the more the authorities control, the safer Peng City will be.

...

...

After the meeting.

Lin Yuan returned to the Wushan Shelter.

After being away from Peng City for so long, he really missed Bai Ling'Er and Wen Yingying.

It was time to fulfill some duties, but who to fulfill them with was a matter to be negotiated.

Lin Yuan thought, perhaps tonight, do it together.

However, this matter had to be discussed with Bai Ling'Er.

Wen Yingying was like a little pushover, whatever he said, she listened.

But Bai Ling'Er's opinion deserved some respect.

After all, right now Bai Ling'Er could be considered the second strongest in Peng City, besides Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan tiptoed into Bai Ling'Er's room, where she lay watching dramas on the bed, with the Linqing Lion Cat lying beside her.

"Ling'Er, I'll be staying here tonight!" Lin Yuan said, sitting on the bed.

Bai Ling'Er casually responded while watching her drama, "Didn't you get enough to eat outside?"

"Which do you think smells better, cultivated flowers or wildflowers?"

Lin Yuan: "?????"

As soon as Bai Ling'Er said that, sweat started pouring down Lin Yuan's forehead.

This was purely the guilty conscience of a thief.

"Wait a minute!"

"How could she possibly know? The only one who went with me to Emperor Dragon City was Zhang Zhen."

"Although Zhang Zhen is unreliable, he is loyal to me. I told him to keep it secret, and even if you beat him to death, he wouldn't say a word!" Lin Yuan pondered how Bai Ling'Er knew.
