Chapter 96: Final Warning!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
It was midnight.
Dragon Bay Manor.
The main hall of the manor was brightly lit.
The presidents of the four major chambers of commerce in Jiang City, Jiang Tianlong, Xu Yaoqiang, Feng Haidong, and Zhong Lingyun, were anxiously waiting for the results of tonight.
A few hours ago, they received news that Gao Zhenhu and the others had already taken action.
But until now, he had not received a single call.
Therefore, they did not know what the outcome would be tonight. They did not know if Yang Luo had been eliminated.
Xu Yaoqiang looked at his watch and said uneasily, “What’s going on? It’s already midnight. Why hasn’t there been any news?”
Feng Haidong also frowned and said, “That’s right. It’s been a few hours. Don’t tell me they failed?”
Zhong Lingyun did not say anything, but she felt a little uneasy.
She recalled the scene when she fought with Yang Luo back then.
That kid was really very strong. Even if the Earth Ranking expert, Xia Zhiyuan, made a move, could he really kill that kid?
Although Jiang Tianlong was also a little worried, he did not show it on his face.
He waved his hand and said, “Everyone, just relax.
This time, we sent out more than 200 elites. Coupled with Elder Xia’s help, even if that kid has three heads and six arms, he will definitely die.”
Xu Yaoqiang, Feng Haidong, and Zhong Lingyun nodded, and the worry in their hearts lessened slightly.
That’s right. With more than 200 elites and Old Xia, even if that kid was really a Grandmaster Realm expert, it was impossible for him to survive.
Seconds ticked by.
Soon, it was one in the morning.
Xu Yaoqiang said, “1 still feel that something is wrong. I’ll call and ask what’s going on.”
As he spoke, Xu Yaoqiang took out his cell phone and prepared to make a call.
But at this moment…
Footsteps came from outside.
Jiang Tianlong and the other three looked up.
A figure walked over. It was Qiao Xudong.
Seeing Qiao Xudong return, Jiang Tianlong and the others heaved a sigh of relief.
Since Qiao Xudong was back, it meant that tonight’s operation had succeeded.
After Qiao Xudong walked into the hall, Jiang Tianlong hurriedly asked, “Xudong, how’s the situation? Is that kid already dead?”
However, Qiao Xudong did not reply. He only lowered his head slightly and remained silent.
Feng Haidong urged, “Xudong, what are you doing? Hurry up and say it. The anxiety is killing me!”
Right after he finished his sentence!
Suddenly!
Swoosh!
Accompanied by an ear-piercing sound!
A blood-stained golden dagger shot over from outside and nailed to the wall behind Jiang Tianlong with a thud!
Jiang Tianlong, Xu Yaoqiang, Feng Haidong, and Zhong Lingyun were shocked and hurriedly turned to look at the wall!
Their gazes also locked onto the blood-stained golden dagger!
Feng Haidong was first taken aback before he said excitedly, “Isn’t this golden dagger Elder Xia’s?
Could it be that the kid had already been killed by Elder Xia?
Elder Xia is back?”
Xu Yaoqiang also nodded happily and said, “This golden dagger is Elder Xia’s symbol. Elder Xia must be back!”
“Don’t think too much. That old man won’t be able to come back!”
At this moment, a strong voice came from outside.
Hearing this familiar voice, Jiang Tianlong and the other three trembled and looked outside at the same time.
A thin and tall figure passed through the darkness and walked over step by step.
The moment this figure walked into the hall!
Jiang Tianlong and the others’ pupils constricted and their bodies tensed up. Their faces were filled with disbelief!
The person who entered the hall was none other than Yang Luo!
“You… Why aren’t you dead?!”
Feng Haidong’s face turned pale and he could not help but exclaim.
“You want to kill me with just those two hundred plus trash and that old trash?
Aren’t you all too naive?”
Yang Luo sneered and said, “As for that old fellow called Xia Zhiyuan, he has already been killed by me.”
“Impossible!”
Jiang Tianlong shook his head vigorously, “Elder Xia is an expert on the Earth Ranking. His cultivation level has already stepped into the intermediate-stage of the Grandmaster Realm. How could he have been killed by you?”
Zhong Lingyun looked up at Qiao Xudong and asked in a trembling voice, “Xudong… Elder Xia… is really dead?”
Qiao Xudong nodded.
In an instant…
The entire hall fell silent, so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
The Earth Ranking expert, Xia Zhiyuan, had actually been killed!
This was too unbelievable!
They couldn’t believe it!
However, Qiao Xudong had already nodded, so they had no choice but to believe him!
Jiang Tianlong let out a long sigh and slumped into his seat weakly, “Kid, you’ve won. You can kill or torture me as you wish.”
Xu Yaoqiang, Feng Haidong, and Zhong Lingyun also sighed deeply. They no longer planned to resist and prepared to face death.
Even an expert like Xia Zhiyuan had died. What was the use of resisting?
Yang Luo looked at Jiang Tianlong and the others and said indifferently, “If 1 really wanted to kill you, you wouldn’t have lived to this day.”
If it were in the past, they would definitely scoff at Yang Luo’s words.
But now, they believed him.
This kid really had the strength.
“Then why did you let us go time and time again?”
Jiang Tianlong asked in confusion.
Yang Luo said, “Because I want you to work for me.
You are the leaders of Jiang City and are very familiar with Jiang City.
As long as you work for me, there are many things that I don’t have to do personally.”
Jiang Tianlong gritted his teeth and said, “We’re only loyal to King Zhennan. To serve you, that’s impossible.
You’d better kill us.”
“Hehe, you still have some backbone.”
Yang Luo chuckled and changed the topic. “That’s why 1 asked you to inform King Zhennan to come to Jiang City to see me.”
After a pause, Yang Luo’s eyes turned cold as he continued, “This is the last chance I’m giving you, and also the last warning!
Get King Zhennan to see me. If you don’t do as 1 say, I’ll completely destroy you!”
With that, Yang Luo turned around and left.
Even after Yang Luo had completely walked away, Jiang Tianlong and the others still did not recover from their shock. Yang Luo’s words still echoed in their ears.
There was a long silence between the both of them.
Jiang Tianlong took a deep breath and said to Qiao Xudong, “Xudong, tell me about tonight’s situation.”
Qiao Xudong did not hide anything and told Jiang Tianlong and the other three what had happened tonight.
As Qiao Xudong narrated, the expressions on the faces of Jiang Tianlong and the others changed constantly. They felt their hearts skip a beat.
By the time Qiao Xudong finished speaking, Jiang Tianlong and the other three were already completely lost.
The four of them took a while to recover.
“Master Long, make a decision. What should we do now?”
Xu Yao asked.
Feng Haidong, Zhong Lingyun, and Qiao Xudong also looked at Jiang Tianlong.
Jiang Tianlong was silent for a moment before saying in a deep voice, “Old Xu, Old Feng, Sister Zhong, let’s immediately book a plane ticket to Peng City to meet King Zhennan!”
“Are we really going to invite King Zhennan over?”
Xu Yaoqiang frowned.
Jiang Tianlong sighed and said, “That’s the only way.. I’m afraid only King Zhennan can suppress that kid now!”
