Chapter 568 Core Meeting
Therefore, Tyrant Lin could not answer this question no matter what!
“Don’t overthink it, I have no intentions toward your Devil Cult. Actually, I know your Devil Cult’s ancestor…” Tyrant Lin said with a smile.
“You don’t need to ask anymore. If I answer this question, I will die,” Sha Hong said.
“Even if you don’t answer this question, you will still die. The Devil Cult does not tolerate failure.”
An extremely cold voice echoed in Sha Hong’s mind!
Hearing this voice, Sha Hong’s face changed dramatically!
“Lord Situ, I…”
Sha Hong wanted to say something, but suddenly blood flowed from her seven orifices!
Then, starting from her head, she began to disappear at a speed visible to the naked eye!
Fang Yu raised his eyebrows and immediately took out the Dayan Lamp from his storage bag, wanting to absorb the energy from Sha Hong’s body.
Unfortunately, just as he lit the Dayan Lamp, Sha Hong completely disappeared, leaving no trace of energy behind.
“Truly ruthless,” Tyrant Lin shook his head, turned to look behind him, and said, “At the moment she was killed, there was a slight flicker of divine consciousness coming from this direction.”
“It’s useless. Without knowing the exact distance, it’s not realistic to use the Dayan Lamp to search even with the help of killing energy,” Fang Yu said. “There must be many evil cultivation sects out there, and we can’t search for them one by one.”
“The existence of these evil cultivation sects is a plague on the world. If we have the chance, we should eliminate them,” Tyrant Lin said.
“Since when did you become so righteous?” Fang Yu asked doubtfully.
“I’ve always been this righteous, you’re just now realizing it? All these years of friendship wasted.” Tyrant Lin snorted coldly, retrieving the rope from the ground.
The rope condensed back into a paper fan in mid-air and returned to Tyrant Lin’s hand.
“Stop pretending to be refined with that paper fan, it doesn’t suit your image,” Fang Yu said. “Let that trace of mysterious energy transform into a hoe to carry on your shoulder. That would better match your temperament.”
Tyrant Lin was long accustomed to Fang Yu’s sarcasm and didn’t mind at all.
“It seems the Devil Cult has nothing to do with your little maid. Now that the trail has gone cold, what do we do?” Tyrant Lin asked.
Fang Yu pondered for a moment and said, “Since that’s the case, let’s stop searching.”
“Stop searching? You’re just going to let your little maid suffer in the enemy’s hands!?” Tyrant Lin said in surprise.
“She said on the phone that she would do something to me soon,” Fang Yu said calmly. “Since we can’t find her, we’ll wait for her to appear on her own.”
Tyrant Lin nodded and said nothing more.
“This place isn’t far from the apartment, let’s fly back directly,” Fang Yu said.
With that, the two flew into the sky, leaving the abandoned residential area.
…
Xiangcheng, Yongle City.
Ten people stood on the peak of a natural park mountain.
Nine of them knelt on one knee, while only one person stood at the front, gazing at the urban landscape below.
“Blood Demon Lord, I just sent a little demon to investigate… it seems that Lady Sha’s entire team has been annihilated…” a subordinate reported with shock in his voice.
Blood Demon had his back to the nine subordinates and showed no reaction to this news.
“Hahaha…”
After several seconds, he finally let out a laugh of satisfaction and said, “That bitch Sha Hong is finally dead, saving me a lot of trouble.”
After laughing for quite a while, Blood Demon asked, “Who killed her? Have you found out?”
“The scene was chaotic, and we have no information yet,” the subordinate answered. “But whoever could wipe out Lady Sha’s entire team must be very powerful…”
“So what?” Blood Demon sneered. “Our only goal in coming to Nandu this time is the vessel.”
“I don’t know why Sha Hong could waste so much time here.”
“I’ve already promised Lord Situ that I would complete the capture of the vessel within three days of arriving in Nandu. I hope you’ll be more rigorous when you act. If there are any mistakes, you might as well kill yourselves.”
Blood Demon’s tone suddenly turned cold.
“Understood…” The nine subordinates felt a chill in their hearts and responded in unison.
…
Fang Yu and Tyrant Lin returned to the apartment once more.
Despite the entire building being sealed off for investigation, Fang Yu and Tyrant Lin sat at home, leisurely playing chess.
“Ah! I made a wrong move!” Tyrant Lin slapped his thigh hard, full of regret.
Fang Yu smiled, picked up a chess piece, preparing to checkmate.
“Give me a chance to take back my move. I was about to win this game!” Tyrant Lin said.
“Fine, I’ll give you one chance.” Fang Yu put down his hand.
Tyrant Lin immediately took back the wrongly placed piece and put it in the correct position.
“You’ll still lose,” Fang Yu smiled faintly, picked up his cannon piece, moved it horizontally to the right, facing Tyrant Lin’s king across the river.
“Not yet, not yet…” Tyrant Lin frowned deeply and made another move.
After this move, he realized he was in a dead end.
In at most two more moves, Fang Yu would checkmate him again, and he had nowhere to retreat, no options left.
“Sigh, I lost again.” Tyrant Lin sighed.
“Want to play another round?” Fang Yu asked.
“One more game, the last one!” Tyrant Lin said with determination.
Since he had known Fang Yu, he had never won against him in chess, not even once!
After more than two thousand years, today he had to win at least once!
…
Xiangcheng Nandu, Jinxiu Financial Center, conference room on the 78th floor.
The long oval conference table was full, with many more people sitting on chairs behind it.
There were at least seventy or eighty people in the entire conference room.
Almost all the core members of the Xiangcheng Chamber of Commerce were present.
At the call of Chairman Gu Rong, a very important meeting was to be held today.
Gu Rong sat at the head of the conference table, looking displeased.
Since being forced to sign that agreement a few days ago, he hadn’t been able to sleep for several nights!
The border trade was a huge piece of meat, and having to give it up made him feel terrible, especially the process, which was utterly humiliating!
For that negotiation meeting to go according to his plan, Gu Rong had done many things!
And those things had gone very smoothly. In the end, only Tang Mingde and Ji Rumei from the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce dared to attend the negotiation!
But then a Fang Yu appeared out of nowhere, completely disrupting his plans, and even forcing him to sign that agreement which would leave the Xiangcheng Chamber of Commerce with only scraps for the next five years!
These past few days at home, Gu Rong had been holding in his anger, unable to swallow it!
He had to get even!
And that agreement, he had to salvage it!
“Everyone should know why I’ve called you here today,” Gu Rong said in a deep voice.
The various chamber members exchanged glances with different expressions.
“Chairman Gu, since you’ve already investigated that Fang Yu’s identity, why do we need to discuss this matter further?” A chamber member sitting on the side spoke up. His name was Zhou Caixiong, the chairman of Zhaohai Group, and also a vice-chairman of the Xiangcheng Chamber of Commerce.
“I agree with Vice-Chairman Zhou’s view. Even Chairman Zhao doesn’t dare to offend Fang Yu, so why should we provoke him? The agreement is signed, so be it. What’s wrong with earning a little less?” Another member spoke up.
“Yes, I feel the same way. I heard that this Fang Yu can even defeat a Martial Saint. Wouldn’t we be seeking death by provoking him? No matter how great the benefits, I don’t support doing this.”
Many members agreed, supporting Zhou Caixiong’s opinion.
That is, not to provoke Fang Yu anymore. It’s just a matter of less profit, but life is more important.
“I disagree with Vice-Chairman Zhou’s view,” said a middle-aged man with a crew cut sitting on the opposite side. His name was Wu Yongming, another vice-chairman of the Xiangcheng Chamber of Commerce.
“Undeniably, Fang Yu is indeed powerful. But if we just give in like this, aren’t we being too spineless? It’s worth noting that our Xiangcheng martial arts community is far ahead of Jiangnan’s! Why should we fear a mere Fang Yu? If Tang Mingde can invite such a powerful expert, can’t our Xiangcheng Chamber of Commerce do the same?”
“Exactly! I also believe we can’t let this matter go! It’s too frustrating!”
“I don’t believe that he, Fang Yu, would dare to wipe out all the members of our Xiangcheng Chamber of Commerce!”
Many voices rose in the conference room, expressing support for Wu Yongming’s opinion, refusing to let the matter rest.
