Chapter 268 - 266: Buried with Him
Sima Lingyun’s voice was filled with anger, somewhat disappointed, as if he was dealing with someone who had failed to meet his expectations. Not acting against Lu Tianxing was not only because of Lu Tianxing’s identity. More importantly, it was due to the Netherworld Mercenary Corps. Within the Netherworld Mercenary Corps, Lu Tianxing’s influence was akin to that of a deity, while the others were like devout followers of the deity. If the deity were to be harmed, the followers would go mad, venting their fury in an uncontrollable frenzy.
If that were all, pure force could totally suppress them, but what Sima Lingyun truly dreaded was Mandala from the Netherworld Mercenary Corps, a master of poison skills whose artistry was divine, and she was a woman at that. A crazed woman is the most terrifying. Should she be provoked, merely unleashing her poison skills in any city and planting lethal toxins could lead to unimaginable consequences.
Jiao Long held the phone, standing dumbfounded on the spot, completely unprepared for the chaos that capturing Lu Tianxing would unleash. Now, hearing Sima Lingyun’s words, he felt a chill around his neck. If the Netherworld Mercenary Corps really sought revenge, unless they neither ate, drank, nor slept, their heads could be plucked off at any moment.
They were Earth-level Peak Martial Artists, but several leaders of the Netherworld Mercenary Corps were Heaven-level Martial Artists. Killing them was as trivial as crushing ants.
"Go release him," Sima Lingyun commanded. "I remind you again, your job is to clean up Modu’s mercenaries and assassins, and quietly monitor the Judge. Don’t touch him; he’s not someone you can handle. This is the first and only time. If it happens again, I’ll personally take action to purge our ranks. Yanhuang Group lacks many things, but never a genius."
Sima Lingyun felt a surge of fury in his heart, while also regretting deeply in his mind. Why had he sent these two fools to Modu? Of all the people to provoke, they had to pick Lu Tianxing.
"Also, warn Broken Blade," he added. "I don’t care how much hatred he harbors or if he got beaten. It was his own fault. If he dares to make a move, show no mercy."
With that, Sima Lingyun ended the call before Jiao Long could respond again.
Clutching his phone, Jiao Long was slow to recover. He had never seen Sima Lingyun so furiously enraged. It was clear to him that Sima Lingyun’s anger had reached its peak. If they continued along this path, he believed that Sima Lingyun would have no qualms about personally purging their ranks.
