Chapter 472 - How Did This Happen?
Chapter 472: How Did This Happen?
During the recent few days, the Alliance Headquarters seized the chance that the four alliances were in a war to attack some normal sects.
At the start, the Alliance Headquarters occupied 31 cities near the Imperial Dynasty. During this period of time, the number of cities they occupied reached 40.
The speed at which the Alliance occupied territory was just too quick.
If no one stopped them and allowed them to continue occupying land, the outcome would be disastrous. When that happened, half of this land would be taken by the Alliance Headquarters.
The peace faction in the Alliance had totally disappeared and they suffered a huge blow in the Alliance Headquarters. Some of them even started to switch sides.
Their thoughts all changed and they felt like war was not a bad idea either. Til now, they hadn’t faced any problems and everything had been smooth. Large amounts of resources were sent back and that lessened the resource shortage that the Alliance Headquarters had in their own land.
In front of giant interests, some peace faction members disappeared and joined those who asked for war.
A bunch of nine-star generals were gathered here in a meeting at the Alliance Headquarters.
“We have found the gathering spot of the remnant city defense scum, we should clear them all out.” Zhu Daoshen was one of the strongest Alliance generals and hadn’t had a comfortable time recently. The main reason was because he had not done many things of note.
Wu Zhige kept silent and didn’t say much more but he agreed with the suggestion.
The problems that the Alliance Headquarters were facing now were mainly caused by these city defense scum. They hid in the dark and seized chances to attack to prevent the Alliance from doing their operations.
Although the Alliance had killed many of them, these people caused huge problems for them too and made them lose many people.
If not for these people, how could the Alliance Headquarters only occupy 40 cities? Even 50 or 60 cities would be no problem.
General Chi Xiao said, “I think we should attack and suppress all of them.”
“Eh, I agree too.”
“This is a good chance. The four alliances have no time to restrict us and we can use some effort to deal with them. Once we solve them, we can consolidate all of our strength to occupy more land.”
The nine-star generals gathered here all wanted to fight.
The resources here were too bountiful.
When they saw the resources that were shipped back from the Rich Land, they didn’t expect it to feel so good.
At the same time, they recognized why Rich Land had such a name. It truly was really rich.
….
Wuse Temple.
Master Miao’s face was dark and cold and she felt heartpained as she hugged a corpse.
The surrounding disciples all wanted to ask what was going on. But when they saw the corpse in her hands, everyone was stunned.
“Senior Sister…”
Some people recognized who the corpse was. Yu Yunmeng, their Senior Sister, and Master Miao’s personal disciple. She entered the sect quite late, but no one knew that such a thing would happen.
“Master Miaozhen, what happened to Senior Sister?” Some disciples asked.
They weren’t able to accept such an outcome.
Last time, Senior Sister brought a male back and Miaozhen was furious. In the end, that guy left Wuse Temple and no one knew where he went. But those who were close to Senior Sister knew that the guy lived in a nearby mountain.
Now was probably just a month since that thing happened.
Miaozhen shook her head and didn’t say much more as she walked towards Wuse Temple.
She left a bunch of disciples who exchanged glances with one another.
“Master brought Senior Sister to fight against the Alliance, this…”
They didn’t dare to imagine this. They all knew that the Alliance was dangerous but now that Senior Sister had become like this, it only meant that they had faced an unexpected situation while fighting the Alliance.
Li Mountain.
Evil God Zhen Ming was one of the higherups of Hell Mountain and really strong. Since that battle, he hadn’t left Rich Land and had stayed in this place.
At that moment, Zhen Ming sat by the shore and held a fishing pole. He flicked his wrist and he lifted up a fat fish from the water.
“Not bad.”
He smiled. Zhen Ming was totally different from before; he was no longer dark and cold.
Suddenly, someone ran over hurriedly.
“Big Brother Zhen Ming.”
The one who ran over was a young girl who was cultivating without cutting off her hair. She hadn’t gone through the ceremony and entered Wuse Temple but could be considered a disciple.
Zhen Ming looked towards her and knew who she was but there wasn’t much of a change in his expression.
He stayed here not because of Yu Yunmeng but because his heart and soul were being vindicated. He didn’t have thoughts about returning to Hell Mountain and just wanted to stay here and enjoy life.
“What are you here for?” Zhen Ming asked. He continued to swing the pole and wait without moving at all.
The teen looked at Zhen Ming but wasn’t terrified due to the marks on Zhen Ming’s face. Instead, she teared up, “Senior Sister, Senior Sister… She.”
Before she finished her sentence, Zhen Ming interrupted her.
“Don’t mention her in front of me.” Zhen Ming rejected.
Others didn’t know what happened between Senior Sister and the guy but she did.
Senior Sister rejected him because of Wuse Temple.
People from two different worlds weren’t meant to be together.
The girl hollered, “Senior sister is dead.”
Po!
Zhen Ming’s hand shook and slight ripples spread out from the fish hook which disappeared quickly. He kept silent for a long time and no one could tell what he was thinking about. He only replied calmly.
“Oh, she is dead then, but what does it have to do with me?”
Zhen Ming’s reply was really clean and brought with it no emotions at all. But if one looked carefully, one could see the scars on his face trembling slightly. His hand was also shaking at a rate that was not visible to the naked eye.
“How did this happen?” The teen sat on the ground and looked at Zhen Ming in disbelief, “But you like my senior sister.”
Zhen Ming glanced at her and smiled, “Like? No, I don’t like her; I was just curious about her. Now that it is gone, there is no love. Oh right, who killed her?”
“Impossible, impossible, you aren’t the Big Brother Zhen Ming that I know. The Zhen Ming I know wouldn’t be so heartless.” The girl shook her head and didn’t reply to his words.
Zhen Ming frowned, “I am asking you, who killed her?”
Zhen Ming’s voice was low and sunken and that struck the teen’s heart, terrifying her. She climbed up and ran in the direction she had come from, “The Alliance… it is the Alliance. You are not the Big Brother Zhen Ming that I know. I hate you…”
Zhen Ming looked on as she slowly left.
His expressionless face suddenly changed.
“Damn…”
He held up the fishing pole in his hand and smashed it towards the lake.
Peng!
The lake ripped open and numerous dead fish floated to the surface.
“How did this happen?” Zhen Ming clenched his fists and his eyes were filled with blood. Green veins appeared on the surface of his skin and vengeful energy rose up resulting in the nearby space twisting.
That night.
The night was silent.
In a room, the light was dim and a corpse laid there.
The sound of footsteps spread into his ear.
A hand was placed on Yu Yunmeng’s face, but a short while later, the hand disappeared. It was as if no one had entered the room at all.
In another room, Master Miaozhen seemed to have sensed something and opened her eyes. The direction she looked towards was the room that Yu Yunmeng was in.
After a long while, Miaozhen closed her eyes and didn’t move.
In some forest, light from a flame lit up the area.
After Lin Fan left Heaven Covering Demon Sect, he became more well behaved and he hadn’t touched his rage points since the beginning.
In his words, it felt great to head to a top sect and gain a wave of rage points.
Look at the rage points he got… It was just so shocking.
Rage points: 1,500,355
It had reached more than a million and it was enough to raise Dao Realm techniques.
Improve!
Raising one Dao Realm technique required 210,000 rage points.
With his current rage points, it was enough to raise 7 Dao Realm techniques.
His Dao Patterns went from 90 to 97.
He had 97 now and he was quite close to 100.
Lin Fan cultivated and merged the Dao Patterns into his body.
He was quite satisfied with his current strength.
He could crush people at Dao Realm Stage Five casually, and as for stage six, he would need to use some skills. As for stage seven, they were indeed quite terrifying. Especially when he faced those at peak stage seven like the Heaven Covering Demon Sect sect leader, his strength was truly shocking.
That spear was so tough to block. If he wasn’t a dual cultivator and didn’t have 97 Dao Patterns, any other stage three Dao Realm expert would have died.
At that moment, Lin Fan was considering what to do in the future. He had gotten rage points from Evil Alliance and also Celestial Alliance. As for Buddha Alliance and Monster Alliance, there was no need to do so.
His thoughts were simple; he wanted to find trouble with the Alliance.
In terms of hate rankings, the four alliances had to step aside. The one he had the largest conflict with was still the Alliance Headquarters.
If not for them, such things wouldn’t have happened.
He could still be at ease at You City as the rich family young master. He wouldn’t have to worry about food and drinks but very regretfully because of the Alliance, his ideal life had been destroyed.
Even his father got lost.
He was really confident in his own strength and even if he faced their strongest generals he wasn’t afraid at all. So what if he couldn’t beat them? Could they kill him?
His ability to fight them head-on was indeed not enough.
But he could run. He could find another spot and cause more trouble and make the Alliance collapse.
Lin Fan got up and looked around. He was still in Evil Alliance territory, so he would rush overnight and enter the Alliance’s territory.
He had not returned to You City in a long time, so it was time to go and take a look.
If it was possible, he didn’t mind teaching those people who occupied You City a bad lesson. He wanted to tell them that they were all screwed.
