Chapter 1404 - 629: Intelligence Sharing
Fang Zai’s speech is slow, yet deliberate and powerful!
Before this incident occurred, he could only incite Xing Xueman to join forces with him to hunt down Fang Yu.
But at this moment, he is about to rally all the forces of the Foolish Underworld to launch a full-scale pursuit of Fang Yu! Then, no matter where Fang Yu hides, he will be absolutely unable to escape the Foolish Underworld’s pursuit!
In other words, that guy... this time, he’s doomed to die!!
Though it was the death of Xing Xueman that brought about this outcome, Fang Zai still feels excited inside.
It’s safe to say that guy... has awakened a sleeping beast!
Outside the Ten Major Families, the most violent institution, the strongest armed force in Thunder City, is about to... sweep across the city!
Step...
Step...
Step...
As Fang Zai thinks of this, a series of steady footsteps suddenly resounds in the hall.
An overwhelming sense of impending doom instantly fills the room.
In an instant, everyone present tenses up, faces solemn, and those originally sitting poorly immediately straighten their posture, not daring a superfluous move.
What can make these Hall Masters, who are second only to one, sit up in reverence, is naturally the only king of the Foolish Underworld, the man standing at its pinnacle!
"Lord of Mansion!"
"Lord of Mansion!"
"Greetings, Lord of Mansion!"
As the Lord of Mansion sits in the central seat, everyone stands up and respectfully bows.
Yet the Lord merely gazes down at everyone below, taking in their expressions, emotions, one by one.
Finally, his gaze slowly shifts to the corpse covered with a white cloth.
At this moment, the Lord’s face reveals complex emotions difficult to describe.
"I always believed in Xueman, her talent is indeed the finest among you..."
Upon hearing this, everyone maintains silence, head lowered, not daring to breathe audibly.
And the Lord continues.
"...However, a too comfortable cultivation environment also made her lack the life-and-death experience, keeping her from becoming a truly independent powerhouse."
"Perhaps this is a calamity in her life, if she can overcome this barrier, the future may see her inheriting my legacy."
The Lord’s tone is slow, as if reminiscing about the past.
But to an old being like him, Xing Xueman’s brief life really hasn’t left sufficient weight in his heart.
Perhaps over time, in inheritance, their relationship would gradually deepen.
But Xing Xueman didn’t reach that point before succumbing midway.
How vast Thunder City is.
In the Lord’s long life, countless talents have emerged in Thunder City, numbering in the hundreds if not thousands.
And these are the ones who made a name, who left a memory with him.
The talents that fell before they rose are even more numerous than the stars.
One thing is certain.
Living long enough to display talent is worthy of his attention.
Xing Xueman walked ahead, ahead of almost all talents.
But still, it wasn’t enough.
Just that little bit.
And she fell along the way.
Step.
Step.
Step.
The Lord stands up, walking step by step to Xing Xueman’s corpse, bends down, and reveals part of the white cloth.
Gently stroking Xing Xueman’s face as pale as paper, the Lord whispers slowly.
"What a pity..."
"What a pity."
Standing up, the Lord has already returned to his seat.
Only then does Fang Zai seize the opportunity and kneels hurriedly.
"Lord of Mansion, this matter cannot end like this, the Rebel Army... is too arrogant!"
The others quickly follow suit.
"Indeed, Lord of Mansion, if the Rebel Army dares to kill our Hall Master, is there anyone they wouldn’t dare to kill!"
"Excessive, too excessive! Lord of Mansion, the Rebel Army is already lawless, if we don’t focus our strength to rectify this, I dread to think what they might do next!"
Everyone chimes in with rage-filled words.
But in reality, their relationship with Xing Xueman, to speak of deep feelings, is perhaps uncertain. It’s just that as Hall Masters, the death of one Hall Master resonates with them. Not to mention, this matter directly affects the prestige of the Foolish Underworld, not just a matter of individual life and death. It directly impacts the Foolish Underworld’s status in Thunder City!
Even if the Lord of Mansion previously intended to avoid a large-scale conflict between the Foolish Underworld and the Rebel Army, lest Thunder City be devastated.
But now the Rebel Army has committed the offense first, the Foolish Underworld must restore its honor, to avoid disgrace.
"Lord of Mansion, I heard there is a minister in the Rebel Army, who is the adopted daughter of their Commander! Today their Rebel Army killed our Hall Master, then we will kill his adopted daughter, let him feel the pain of losing a daughter!"
The Dark Hall Master to the right proposes viciously, seemingly privy to much information about the Rebel Army.
"Every grievance has its perpetrator, I recognize the one who killed Xing Xueman, that guy can gain the protection of the Rebel Army Deputy Commander, combined with those skills, must also be one of the Rebel Army ministers! I don’t care about the rest, but that kid, I must kill!" Fang Zai states coldly.
"Then we’ll kill two! If not enough, we’ll kill three, four! Are the mere Rebel Army trying to overturn the sky! This Thunder City is not the playground of these street rats!" The Master of Hundred Pillars Hall follows the sentiment, clearly indicating the intention to destroy all Rebel Army leadership.
Cold lips crushed teeth.
If today the Rebel Army can kill a Foolish Underworld Hall Master, tomorrow there might be a courage army, a Rat Army emerging to kill other Hall Masters!
If no lesson is given to the Rebel Army, if no warning is made, can the Foolish Underworld continue in Thunder City?
