Chapter 951: Chapter 946: Awakening II

Dujing Town.

Illusion King’s Army, Ji, Li.

The three were accompanied by about twenty subordinate original energy users, surrounded in a hotel in town.

The three of them looked extremely grim, standing in the hotel courtyard, listening to the dense and constant tiny footsteps around them.

"There are at least thirty original energy users above the Second Level, and eight or nine at the Shadow Flight Level. That treacherous group from the Empire has revealed all our movements to other forces."

The Illusion King’s Army said through gritted teeth.

"What’s the plan now? We should retreat immediately, before the experts from the Aojia Empire arrive. If those at the Destruction Envoy level turn up, we won’t be able to leave even if we want to."

The Army said anxiously.

"We can’t leave!"

Li resolutely rejected.

"Since the Third General asked us to wait here, it means he is very likely aware of our situation...."

"The problem now is that if we wait for the General to appear, we might be annihilated by then." The Army hurriedly said.

"Withdrawing is the best choice." Illusion King Ji also agreed to leave. "Our strategic retreat now aims to preserve strength. Even if the General comes out, he probably won’t blame us. After all, it’s due to the circumstances."

"I still disagree with retreating." Li shook her head.

She whispered a few words to an original energy user behind her.

The latter swiftly turned and approached the original energy users patrolling around the hotel.

"If you don’t leave, I’m leaving!"

The Illusion King’s Army could no longer hold back. He turned and walked towards the back wall of the hotel.

Illusion King Ji followed closely behind.

"If we don’t leave now, there will be no chance."

He kindly reminded Li.

"No, even if we leave now, there’s no chance." An enigmatic voice suddenly came through.

Li’s expression suddenly froze, and she looked up towards the distant sky.

There, a giant white spaceship with gold trim appeared, its streamlined shape resembling an inverted water droplet.

Below the ship’s hull were eight white metal robotic arms, resembling the legs of an insect.

"The people from the Aojia Empire have arrived!"

Li whispered bitterly.

The hearts of both the Army and Ji sank steeply.

"If we leave now, it might still be in time."

Ji said gravely.

"It’s too late."

A deep male voice came from outside the wall.

Sharlu, leading reinforcements, leaped over the wall and landed gently in the hotel courtyard.

"The entire area of several kilometers is filled with Aojia’s ultra-micro machines. Our base here has also been discovered."

"Sharlu, you too..."

Li’s originally hopeful expression suddenly turned extremely grim.

"The people outside are just surrounding and not attacking, waiting for the Aojia to make their move."

Sharlu said bitterly.

"The Third General has offended everyone, so no one is willing to cover for us. Even the Empire, the East Empire, are unwilling to intervene."

"Do we still have a chance?"

The Illusion King’s Army asked hoarsely.

"Of course, there’s a chance."

The one answering him wasn’t Sharlu, but another calm and unhurried male voice.

Sizzle!!

The Aojia Empire’s spaceship above released a beam of light directly from its belly, landing steadily in front of everyone.

The beam was several meters thick, cylindrical, slanting onto the open ground.

Several blurred figures gradually appeared within.

The leader among them, unexpectedly, was a prince with long flowing hair, perfect and exquisite to the utmost — Lei Ling.

Sharlu’s expression changed drastically. The moment he saw who it was, he shivered all over, retreating several steps, struggling to suppress the urge to flee.

"It’s Prince Lei Ling!!?"

The three Illusion Kings turned pale, even losing the desire to escape.

"I heard that the Third General of Gao Shan thinks himself invincible, so he mercilessly annihilated an entire battalion of our Empire."

Prince Lei Ling wore a gentle smile, with a black giant serpent entwined around him, slowly crawling and hissing softly.

"Some people think they’ve transcended the Destruction Envoy level and become conceited. Heh heh heh! Your Highness, I didn’t expect you to personally come."

Inside the hotel wall, several more figures turned from virtual to real.

Leading them was an eccentric man with a pink mohawk, clearly wearing a dark-toned uniform.

But it wasn’t an ordinary man’s uniform; instead, it was like a woman’s tight-fitting suit, clinging to his body.

This man had dark skin, muscular and defined, but wore lipstick, foundation, eyeliner, and fake eyelashes, sauntering gracefully.

Especially his hips, swaying like a model, seductively poised.

"Oh, it’s His Excellency the Anthem from the Dark Tone." A hint of surprise flashed in Prince Lei Ling’s eyes. "Many years have passed; meeting someone as beautiful as you again is truly touching."

"Oh my, Your Highness knows how to speak beautifully, making one feel all sorts of ways~~~" Anthem waved a handkerchief that appeared out of nowhere, fluttering it ahead.

"I represent all the currently allied forces outside; we’ve all agreed to completely eliminate Gao Shan, who doesn’t follow the rules. Then everyone can sit down and amicably divide the fragments.

What does Your Highness think of our proposal?"

"Just a newly appointed Annihilation Envoy, who doesn’t know their own strength, can they truly be worthy of me and the Cantata joining forces?"

Prince Lei Ling’s face flashed with a hint of disgust, "Overestimating this madman too much."

Annihilation Envoys also have classifications and levels.

Ordinary Annihilation Envoys can gain permanent terrifying strength, speed, defensive power, or recovery ability through their powerful merged Breeding Armor.

On this basis, if they wear Breeding Armor again, they can achieve terrifying amplification far beyond ordinary primal energy users.

But that’s just an ordinary Annihilation Envoy.

Elders like Prince Lei Ling and the Cantata are at the high level within this tier.

Because the merged Breeding Armor of Annihilation Envoys can be stacked.

As long as their mind and will can tolerate it, an Annihilation Envoy can continue to infinitely merge new Breeding Armor.

Becoming a terrifying existence that feeds on Breeding Armor.

Once their Breeding Armor is merged with themselves, it continuously enhances various bodily functions, achieving a state beyond the human realm.

This is why Prince Lei Ling and the Cantata are so confident.

The newly appointed Annihilation Envoy, by merging one set of Breeding Armor and wearing another, is equivalent to over twice the peak of Shadow Flight primal energy users.

But the two of them have each merged and devoured at least five top-tier Breeding Armor sets to become terrifying existences.

Their life forms have even completely transformed into other forms during the merging process.

This is also why Sharlu and the others behave so poorly upon seeing Prince Lei Ling personally intervene.

"Speaking of which, where did this Tu Ling emerge from? Boldly attacking all force organizations without knowing the immensity of heaven and earth. I quite admire such courage."

The Cantata asked, speaking up.

"This, you should ask the people of Gao Shan." Prince Lei Ling looked at Sharlu and the three Illusion Kings with a half-smile.

Sharlu gritted his teeth and held on, even though he was trembling all over, it did not mean he would leak the organization’s confidential information under intense pressure.

No matter how dissatisfied he was with Yang Shen’s arbitrary actions, his data was still classified information of the organization.

If leaked, the consequences would be catastrophic.

Whether it be the Aojia Empire or other forces, they would immediately go to Yang Shen’s hometown to control all his related family members.

"This is the absolute secret of our organization..."

The Illusion King murmured softly.

"Please forgive us, esteemed Lords..."

Even though his forehead was covered in sweat, he still resisted the urge to divulge the information.

"Speak, and maybe we’ll consider sparing your lives."

Prince Lei Ling said calmly, toying with the long hair falling from his right shoulder with his jade-like hand.

No one replied.

Among the people of Gao Shan’s organization, only Sharlu and the three Illusion Kings knew Lin Xin’s detailed information. If they didn’t speak, no one else could, even if they were aware.

Illusion King Li was wrapped in a semi-transparent metal Breeding Armor. Even while resisting the terrifying pressure and force field with all her strength, she still chose not to leak the secret. This is the foundation of the organization’s existence, the most fundamental principle.

If exposed, it would violate the core rules of the entire Gao Shan organization.

Even if they survived here, they would inevitably be hunted down by the other two chief Annihilation Envoys afterward.

The rest also remained silent for the same reason.

"Is it because of the organization’s gag order?"

The Cantata was insightful, as the Dark Tone had similar regulations.

"Rest assured, you can tell, I can make the decision to spare whoever speaks first.

Although Gao Shan’s confidentiality mechanism is cumbersome, I can still manage to protect one or two people~~~"

As soon as he spoke, the four present changed their expressions slightly.

Li clenched her fists tightly, her teeth faintly biting, but she said nothing.

Ji’s face was ashen, veins bulging on his face.

Sharlu, with hands intertwined, lowered his head, hiding his expression, but his faintly trembling body betrayed his inner struggle.

"I’ll talk!"

Finally, a voice suddenly appeared among the four.

It was the Illusion King Jun!

Her delicate face was pale, carrying a hint of resentment and madness.

"I’ll tell you all the information about the Third General!"

"Are you crazy! Jun!?!"

Li looked incredulously at this former companion.

"I’m not crazy! I just don’t want to die!" Jun screamed wildly. "Look at what that fool has done?! He ruined Sharlu’s great plans and situation the moment he arrived. This horrible situation is entirely his willful result!

I refuse to be his scapegoat and sacrificial lamb, so I choose to save my life, do I still have a mistake?!"

For a moment, Gao Shan’s people all bore extremely unpleasant expressions.

"Don’t forget... the First and Second Generals..."

Li attempted to dissuade.

"Wonderful~~" The Cantata praised charmingly, interrupting her.

Li wanted to speak further but suddenly realized she couldn’t make any sound.

"Come on, tell us, who exactly is the real identity of that Third General?" Prince Lei Ling also revealed a slight smile and said.
