Chapter 558 - 401: Survival in the Cracks
On a hundred-meter tall building, a group of five people stood quietly in front of a huge transparent floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking the crowd in a frenzy below.
From the moment the Space Gate closed, Shangjing has been in a state of celebration.
Excited cheers put the city in a state of boiling, even in a high-rise building, the huge noise still filled their ears.
People waved their arms and shouted hoarsely, venting the excitement and joy in their hearts, the huge commotion making the high-rise buildings tremble slightly.
Compared to the excited crowd, these five appeared exceptionally calm.
"I didn’t expect it to succeed!"
Among the five, the leader was a man in casual clothes, wearing a cat-faced mask. He was the first to break the silence, slowly stating.
His tone was somewhat complex, not knowing if it was joy or pain, or perhaps regret and relief, maybe it was both.
Behind the man, an elder nicknamed Ghost Eye looked at the masked man, unable to see his expression, only the back of his head.
Ghost Eye slightly lowered his head, usually brutal and bloodthirsty, even somewhat perverse in the eyes of subordinates and opponents, he now appeared extremely obedient.
Because the person with the cat-faced mask in front of him was the Grand Elder of the ’New World’, whose status was second only to the Sect Leader and Vice Sect Leader.
Also one of the three Emperors of the New World.
"Indeed, I didn’t expect it either. We didn’t even know what happened before it ended!"
To the left of the masked man, a beautiful woman in a red long dress stood. She had a voluptuous figure and a mature allure.
She also looked at the ground and softly agreed.
Originally thought the conclusion had been settled, some plans had already begun to be implemented, yet who could have imagined the Space Gate would close without warning.
"Have we found out what happened?" the beautiful woman asked.
Behind the woman, a plain-looking young man answered, "No, the Space Gate closed without any sign, no news has come through, and the psychic network is already disconnected."
"After all this effort, the plan failed, and now we don’t even know the reason for the failure."
The beautiful woman chuckled, her voice carrying a hint of irony.
This time, to merge the Space Gate in the Land of Chaos, many organization members and hidden powers were exposed.
Previously, due to the Space Gate’s merging, the attention and power of Shangjing’s upper echelons were divided, the Guardians didn’t have much time or energy to deal with them.
Now with the closure of the Space Gate, the real reckoning begins.
It can be imagined that the reckoning afterward will be bloody.
No faction is merciful when dealing with traitors.
Plans spanning twenty to thirty years were destroyed in a matter of days; it’s impossible not to feel heartache.
"It seems Shangjing has to be abandoned, we can’t stay here for long either!"
The beautiful woman looked at the masked man and said.
The masked man just silently watched the frenzied crowd below, without responding, after a long while he said:
"Abandon it then, although it’s a pity, this was never our main camp anyway!"
The loss this time is indeed severe, the power of the New World in Shangjing will be completely purged.
More than this, he’s truly concerned about why the Space Gate was closed, and by whom?
According to the information, Tian Di had clearly already obtained the Key and entered the Flower Erosion Realm, if it weren’t so, the remaining personnel wouldn’t have moved out in such a large scale.
Tian Di was already a Spirit King, having refined the Six-armed Celestial Demon, and protected by the three Kings, why would the Space Gate be closed?
"Hong Tao and his group clearly know what happened, do you think it’s their setup? Since there are traitors in the Human Race, there could also be in the Alien Race!"
The masked man speculated while watching Hong Tao and the others leave below.
Apart from this reason, he couldn’t think of any other explanation.
But even this reason seems far-fetched, because even if there was a traitor, within the barrier, it’s impossible to deal with three Kings simultaneously.
Unless, Tian Di is the traitor!
But is that possible?
As one of the Celestial Hall’s five Celestial Emperors, how could he become a traitor?
What allure could make him a traitor?
And the Space Gate closing, if there was no accident, that Tian Di should already be dead!
"Well, I don’t know, those who know the truth are all dead!" the beautiful woman said.
"I’ve received a piece of news."
As the atmosphere grew silent, the young man who spoke before said: "Dong Yunan from Lin Feng’s team, after exiting the Space Gate, sought out Hong Tao and his group, and met with them."
"Dong Yunan?"
The masked man exclaimed, he knew this name.
This matter indeed didn’t make sense.
What connection could a weak individual have with an Emperor?
Especially during this special period, after exiting the Space Gate?
"Do you mean Lin Feng?" he speculated.
Lin Feng possesses the Stand Soul Skill!
If he locked onto people within the barrier in advance, then Lin Feng could slip into the barrier quietly.
But even if he entered the barrier, how did Lin Feng kill everyone?
Could there really be a traitor, cooperating from the inside and outside?
If there’s a collaborator, it’s indeed possible to achieve.
"If so, that’s quite interesting!"
The voice behind the mask seemed tinged with intrigue.
"According to the passed-on information, during the chaos caused by Sha Mi, Lin Feng disappeared without a trace, no one saw any sign of him, and the Spirit Medium sealed with Sha Mi was previously also with Lin Feng’s team."
The young man continued.
"How long did he disappear? Did he get injured?" The masked man thought for a moment and asked.
"Within three minutes! Not injured!" the young man said.
Within three minutes?
And not injured?
Hearing this answer, the masked man dismissed his inner speculation.
Even if Lin Feng could enter the barrier, how could he slay everyone in such a short time, and remain unscathed?
"Such a short time, it shouldn’t be related to him, but if there’s a chance, it’s still best to kill him."
A Sixth Grade Lin Feng, even undefeated at the Same Tier, is not enough to gain his attention.
Even if he is a Demon Fiend, he’s currently in the growth stage, without ten years he can’t break through to King Level.
Not becoming a King, he doesn’t qualify to enter the core battlefield.
Previously, such a Demon Fiend would gain the attention of all forces.
With the failure of this Space Gate fusion, the loss so severe, the Abnormal People should quiet down for several years.
However, at the rate of global Space Gate fusion, within ten years, the Space Gate can’t be controlled, then it’s the day of full invasion by the Divine Martial Continent.
Meaning Lin Feng shouldn’t have the time to grow.
So these geniuses are not highly regarded, nor do the major forces care much.
If war arrives, geniuses are worthless.
However, if he could kill Lin Feng, he wouldn’t hesitate to act.
The bounty valued at billions is very tempting to him.
In Jade Seal City and during this chaos in the Land of Chaos, Lin Feng’s team frantically slaughters Abnormal People’s geniuses, already becoming a must-kill target for the Alien Race.
As a key figure, killing Lin Feng not only reaps a bounty but also some other benefits.
Unfortunately, it’s hard to act in the Base City.
With Bu Yuanlong protecting Lin Feng, it’s difficult to succeed even if a King acts.
And Kings are more cautious, they won’t risk easily.
"Any movement from Pure Land? How many Apostles died this time?"
The beautiful woman asked.
The young man said, "Not much movement, probably just one, it’s Thunder Celestial King’s Apostle."
"Just one, so few?"
The beautiful woman seemed a bit unsatisfied, adjusting her hair, she said, "Let Xu Duo Duo start preparing to compete for the Apostle position."
The young man continued nodding.
Pure Land, placed above all organizations.
Even Hua Country doesn’t want to offend it.
Two of the Apostles are from the New World.
Pure Land is aware of this, but doesn’t care.
Pure Land, despite knowing this, does not mind.
It stands above all organizations.
"Let’s go, it’s not a bad thing either."
After a final look at the jubilant crowd, the masked man turned and said.
This time’s loss was indeed heavy for the New World.
But as the Grand Elder said, it isn’t a bad thing.
It even gives them some relief.
But just as the Elder said, this is not necessarily a bad thing.
It even made them breathe a sigh of relief!
Nobody likes being a traitor.
Living in a crack, how can it be as free as now!
