Chapter 608: Who the Hell Added Huang Quan to the Group?
Chapter 608: Who the Hell Added Huang Quan to the Group?
The triumphant smiles on the faces of the Long and Ye family members froze the instant they saw Ye Xiu snap Long Guang’s neck, and they all shot to their feet as if on springs.
They couldn’t believe it. They had already pledged allegiance to Kristina, yet Ye Xiu still dared to kill a member of the Long Family—and right in front of her, no less!
Kristina was also stunned that Ye Xiu would dare to kill Long Guang, humiliating her so publicly. "Ye Xiu, you dare defy my command!" she raged.
Ye Xiu waved his hand, pulling Kristina toward him. He grabbed her by the neck, his killing intent boiling as he growled, "Do you realize you’re playing with fire?"
"You..."
Kristina’s body trembled violently as Ye Xiu’s hand closed around her neck. Her heart leaped into her throat, and she shrieked in a fury, "Ye Xiu, have you forgotten that Qin Qing and Leng Yue are still on Biluo Island?"
"So what?" Ye Xiu roared.
That roar terrified Kristina down to her soul. Although she hadn’t known Ye Xiu for long, she could tell he was an intelligent man who was in control of his emotions. But the Ye Xiu before her now was so enraged he had lost all reason. Kristina had no doubt that he truly intended to kill her.
"What are you all standing around for? Get to work," Ye Xiu snarled, releasing Kristina’s neck and turning to the members of the Ye and Long families. "Given your stupidity, I want to see Guanlou Mountain tunneled through by tomorrow morning. Also, give each of the laborers you beat 1,000,000."
The laborers were overjoyed. That beating was worth it!
The members of the Ye and Long families scampered off to get to work, their hearts filled with frustration and despair. We thought siding with Kristina would let us turn things around, but instead, we were knocked right back to square one.
Kristina ran over and quietly asked Ye Tianming, "Why is Ye Xiu acting so abnormally today? He seems to be in a very bad mood."
"Today is the anniversary of his mother’s and maternal grandparents’ death," Ye Tianming said with a dark expression.
"You should have said so earlier!" Kristina furiously kicked Ye Tianming, sending him flying. She fumed, her hands on her hips.
Ye Tianming: "..."
Seeing Ye Xiu walking alone up the mountain, Kristina hesitated for a moment, then hurried after him. "Hey, a battalion from the Eternal Kingdom is arriving in Nanjing tonight. You’re coming with me to meet them."
Ye Xiu stared coldly at her. "Don’t forget the oath you swore. I’m only helping you deal with the Restorer Alliance. Everything else is none of my business."
"You..." Kristina was furious but helpless, bitterly regretting the vow she had made.
"Hmph!" She snorted in anger and spun around, walking away. She would go to the airport herself to receive the thousand-man unit sent from the Eternal Kingdom. Then, during the night, she would have them transport the Ye and Long family members to Biluo Island.
「That evening.」
Ye Xiu received a text from Gong Jin: "A one-thousand-person tour group from Tamwood City has arrived at the Nanjing airport. According to intelligence, they all have nose injuries. It’s likely the same thousand people that the Young Mistress and Leng Yue beat up."
Ye Xiu replied, "I need their route into the mountains."
Gong Jin replied, "Understood!"
Ye Xiu’s eyes narrowed. After a moment’s hesitation, he decided to send the Restorer Alliance a generous gift.
「Meanwhile.」
Meng Yinwan was sitting in the courtyard of a farmhouse, idly chatting on her phone in the ’Restorer Alliance’ group chat.
Suddenly, a notification popped up in the group: "Huang Quan has joined the chat."
Meng Yinwan and everyone else in the Restorer Alliance group were stunned.
Who invited Huang Quan into the group?
For a moment, the group fell completely silent.
Huang Quan posted, "I bring you all a great gift. A thousand-man battalion from the Eternal Kingdom just arrived at the Nanjing airport. They will be trekking into the mountains next."
The group chat remained deathly silent.
After waiting a moment and seeing no response, Meng Yinwan typed, "What do you mean by that?"
Huang Quan posted, "These thousand people are all Great Grandmasters and First Realm War Gods. I will provide you with their route into the mountains. You are to ambush them. Kill them all. Leave none alive."
Then, a system notification popped up: "Huang Quan has left the chat."
Only then did the group chat explode.
"Who invited Huang Quan into the group?"
"I don’t know!"
"This is our Restorer Alliance’s chat! How could you let an outsider in?"
"With an outsider in here, isn’t the Restorer Alliance’s strength exposed?"
"Who the hell added Huang Quan? Step forward!"
"It wasn’t me!"
"I’ve never even met Huang Quan."
One by one, everyone in the chat denied inviting Huang Quan. Then, every member of the Restorer Alliance chat collectively drew a sharp breath.
Huang Quan is divine!
Not only did he know about the Restorer Alliance’s group chat, but he could also join it without an invitation.
What the hell kind of ability is that?
The King of the Snow Region wrote, "The rumors claimed Huang Quan was omniscient. It seems they were true!"
With that comment, everyone in the Restorer Alliance chat suddenly felt completely exposed before Huang Quan, as if they had no secrets at all.
Meng Yinwan typed, "Huang Quan has done too many unbelievable things for us to dwell on this. Let’s discuss the ’gift’ he sent us."
"Heh, Huang Quan ordered us to kill them all, leaving none alive. It’s not like we have a choice but to ambush them."
"If we don’t, Huang Quan might come for us himself."
"Damn, why does it feel like Huang Quan has become the group owner?"
"I feel like we’re going to live under the shadow of Huang Quan’s rule forever."
"What? Have you all already accepted Huang Quan as the Alliance Hierarch of the Restorer Alliance?"
"If he really wanted to be the Alliance Hierarch, would you dare to oppose him?"
A collective sense of gloom fell over the members of the Restorer Alliance chat. The Restorer Alliance was a loose coalition; although they shared a common goal, no one submitted to anyone else. As a result, the position of Alliance Hierarch had remained vacant for millennia.
But now, with Huang Quan’s arrival, the Restorer Alliance suddenly developed a sense of cohesion it had never possessed. Everyone had been cowed by him.
What the hell was this?!
「At 10:06 PM.」
A thousand-man battalion marched along a dark mountain road. This area was outside the scope of the Mist Chant Martial Meeting’s engineering projects, so there were no construction sites, no people, and no lights.
"Where the hell is Unparalleled Mountain?"
"Didn’t they say Lord Yue Longxuan would send someone to pick us up at the airport? Why won’t any of our calls go through?"
"I bet Yue Longxuan looks down on us and couldn’t be bothered to send anyone."
The men grumbled as they marched. None of them even suspected that Yue Longxuan and his men were already dead. Since childhood, they had been indoctrinated with the belief that the Eternal Kingdom was globally invincible. Even its only enemy, the Restorer Alliance, was considered utterly vulnerable before them.
"Yue Longxuan and his men are already dead!"
Just then, a bewitchingly seductive laugh echoed through the darkness.
The next moment, hundreds of masked figures dressed in black emerged from the shadows and charged.
