Chapter 1048 - 1020: The Difficult Situation of the Palace of the Nether King

Chapter 1048: Chapter 1020: The Difficult Situation of the Palace of the Nether King

"How is the situation?"

"Not optimistic, Old Seven and Big Head are severely injured and are healing now."

"What about the pills?"

"Almost used up."

"Those bastards! How dare they play dirty!"

On the outskirts of Linchuan, near Forget River Mountain, two men dressed in black were whispering in a corner.

It was evident that both men were stained with a lot of blood, some of it from their enemies, and some, their own.

The two were battle-hardened warriors, and equally, powerful martial artists.

But at this moment, their condition was extremely poor.

"In our current state, besides holding this position and waiting for support, there’s no other way. I have already used the radio to inform the nearby brothers. But we don’t know how long it’ll take them to arrive," said the older of the two men.

"If all else fails, we’ll fight them!" The face of the young man in black looked somewhat ferocious.

"We can’t win. With our strength, even if we fight, it’s just throwing our lives away," the older man shook his head slowly. "Even though both of us carry the Glory Bullet, at this level, the blast won’t be lethal enough for them. Don’t waste your life in vain."

"But..."

"No buts! We are the Nether Army, a disciplined and organized team. Lord Heishou has already received the message and is heading this way. We absolutely cannot act rashly!"

"Alright... okay." The young man nodded with difficulty.

Outside Forget River Mountain, a group of people were methodically searching. They dressed like ordinary people, but if one observed closely, they’d notice an unusual aura emanating from them.

That was... the aura of martial artists!

The strength of these individuals varied, the strong ones had cultivation above the Profound Level, while the weaker ones were of Yellow Rank.

At this moment, these people were searching meticulously, with faint smiles on their faces, as if they were hunting prey.

"Those guys are quite good at hiding, making us search for so long."

"But no matter how well they hide, they’re just a bunch of rodents. Consider it a game. After being stuck in the family for so long, an opportunity to come out for fun shouldn’t be missed."

"These guys are interesting, daring to offend our Lan Family. They’re just an ordinary force stationed outside, yet they dare oppose us, really overestimating themselves."

"These fools from the outside are like that, stay outside long enough and they think they’re invincible. Little do they know how many people in this world they can’t afford to offend."

The two laughed and chatted casually, leading a few others towards the foot of Forget River Mountain.

Their purpose this time was to find those hiding and capture them.

As for what to do with them afterward, that’s not their concern.

They are responsible only for the capture, considering the process a bit of entertainment.

...

"Heishou, have you arrived yet?"

Heishou, who was driving fast on the road, heard Catherine’s solemn voice through his ear.

"Big sister, I’m on the road now, and I’ll soon arrive. But the brothers over there may not hold on for much longer. I’ve already notified William, who is the closest, to join me."

"That’s good," Catherine’s voice sounded a bit tired. "Remember, if the enemy is too strong, don’t engage them directly. Rescuing people is your primary mission for this operation."

"Understood."

After hanging up, a faint glimmer of blood flashed in Heishou’s eyes.

It was his brothers who were trapped, and the Nether Army had been newly reorganized in Huaxia. Each leader and battle general had a number of subordinates.

This time, it was his subordinates who were trapped.

As a newly appointed battle general of the Nether Army, Heishou had been striving to narrow the gap between himself and the other battle generals.

Though his combat capability was sufficient, he still had some experience gaps compared to the veterans.

If talking about the most diligent in cultivation among Nether Army’s battle generals, it would perhaps be him and Wang Bolin, who also joined later.

But precisely because of this, he had somewhat neglected training his subordinates.

This incident made Heishou realize that being a leader requires more than just having strong strength.

"You must hold on!"

Heishou pressed the gas pedal to the floor, completely ignoring the traffic lights, speeding out of Linchuan City.

At the Nether Army Base, Catherine and Alice sat opposite each other, with a heap of documents in front of them.

"How is the organization going?"

"Almost done." Alice’s face also looked a bit exhausted.

The Palace of the Nether King had encountered enemies.

And troublesome enemies at that.

Previously, to keep peace in Linchuan, the Palace of the Nether King had been assisting local authorities in managing martial artists.

But this time, they stirred up a troublesome enemy.

A family with Earth-level experts, the Lan Family.

In the past, such a family wasn’t a big deal. Initially, the Nether Army didn’t take it seriously. After all, with no Earth-level experts intervening, the present Palace of the Nether King could withstand any pressure.

But what was frustrating was that a piece of news from the Dragon Soul changed everything.

The contract that had restrained many Earth-level experts had finally expired.

Meaning, those reclusive Earth-level monsters were now free to wreak havoc.

In an instant, the pressure faced by the Palace of the Nether King became immense.

Perhaps previously, the Lan Family wouldn’t have been a threat. In terms of middle-level strength below Earth-level, after several months of intense cultivation, the Nether Army had gradually caught up.

But in terms of strength above Earth-level, the Palace of the Nether King was somewhat lacking.

Facing pressure from the Lan Family, the Nether Army could only be pushed back step by step into Linchuan City.

They relied on the temporary agreement by Huaxia’s upper levels that ’martial artists are not allowed to cause chaos in front of ordinary people’ to barely huddle within Linchuan City.

However, the Lan Family clearly had no intention of letting the Palace of the Nether King off.

They might be cautious about acting against the officials for now, but the Palace of the Nether King, as an unofficial underground force, was different.

"I should notify Qianqian first. It’s possible that a significant battle may soon erupt between us and the Lan Family," Catherine sighed and then left the room.

Although such situations had been encountered before.

But now, they were still lacking a pillar to stabilize them.

"We can’t rely on the boss for everything!" Catherine’s gaze gradually became resolute, then she dialed the phone in her hand.
