Chapter 284 285 Enemies All Over the World
Inside the Forbidden City of Great Ming, a group of Great Ming's top officials had gathered together.
In reality, there were very few matters that could bring these people together. But the current situation had become urgent enough to require this gathering.
"The investigation into the mastermind behind this has been completed. Everyone, take a look at this information."
A document was placed before each person. They picked up the documents and read them. Gradually, their expressions turned grim.
"How dare they? What audacity! Even if she was a princess back then, she was still part of the imperial family! How dare they do this!!!"
An elderly man with beard and hair standing on end slammed the table. His face was filled with anger. The others, however, had calm expressions, including the current Emperor of Great Ming, Zhu Xianhe.
"Alright, alright, old Zhang, stop the act. You're shedding crocodile tears here. We're all old foxes here. Why are you pretending?"
An elderly man with a somewhat gloomy expression said calmly. He looked at the document in his hand, his eyes unreadable.
"Tens of thousands of people have died in the Shu region. And this number continues to grow. According to the think tank's predictions, by the time he reaches the Liu Family in ten days, millions of people along the way could die as a result."
"What if we send Not Express to stop him?"
"I sent Not Express to stop him from the beginning. But over a thousand Not Express supernatural beings went to fight a hundred or so monster, including Zhang Ling-Yu, the tenth disciple of Tenshifu. Although they destroyed those monster, the result was Zhang Ling-Yu severely injured and Not Express casualties as high as eighty percent."
Silence. Everyone in the meeting room fell silent. Finally, Emperor Zhu Xianhe spoke. "Everyone, come up with a plan. If this matter isn't stopped in time, the casualties could reach millions."
"Go to Ryukosan and invite Tenshifu. Also, send other supernatural beings to see if they can eliminate the source. If the source can be eliminated, maybe those monster will dissipate on their own."
"Agreed."
"Agreed."
With one agreement after another, the plan to deal with Hakuto was finalized. Meanwhile, in the mountain city of Shu region.
The Liu Mansion.
"Father, you have to help me. Avenge me!"
Liu Lili looked at the head of the Liu Family, sitting in a grand master's chair. She looked like a helpless young girl, her face full of pleading as she looked at the Liu Family's head. (T/N: I'll just put the original Chinese name for other Chinese character other than MC and his family.)
"Help? How? If you want me to help, then tell me, how am I supposed to help?"
Liu San, the Liu Family's head, asked calmly, playing with two iron balls in his hand. Then, with sudden force, he squeezed the two iron balls, leaving finger impressions on them.
"Not only did you fail to find the Legendary Cooking Utensils as you were told, but you've also caused such a huge mess now!"
Liu San's gloomy and fierce eyes stared at his daughter. Liu Lili immediately kowtowed repeatedly. "Father, I tried my best. No one knows where that woman hid the Legendary Cooking Utensils. That useless man searched through all of that woman's things but found nothing."
Looking at his daughter, Liu San withdrew his gloomy and fierce gaze, sat back down in the grand master's chair, and closed his eyes, speaking as if to himself. "Do you think Great Ming will intervene in this matter? If they intervene, there will certainly be huge casualties. But if they don't intervene, the boiling public opinion will be enough to bring down those big shots."
Hearing Liu San's muttering, Liu Lili's eyes lit up. "Yes, I understand, Father. I'll make the arrangements right away. I'll make sure this matter becomes known to the whole world. Then even if those big shots want to sit back and watch, they won't be able to."
Liu San said nothing. He closed his eyes to rest. After Liu Lili left, a strange glint finally flickered in Liu San's eyes.
"A little bastard thinks he can leave my Liu Family with no chickens or dogs left? Perfect. Let's use this little bastard to test those old fellows."
Ryukosan. Zhang Zhi-Wei didn't even lift an eyelid as he listened to his disciple's report.
"Huanjin, tell me, the man is avenging his mother. Why should we interfere? Isn't it better to just cultivate the Dao peacefully on the mountain?"
Hearing Tenshifu's words, his fourth disciple, Zhao Huanjin, said respectfully, "Master, it's no longer just about revenge. This man has caused immense slaughter. As of today, the number of people who have died because of him exceeds fifty thousand. These fifty thousand people have either turned into monster or been killed by those monster."
"So Great Ming wants to invite you to act, Master. With you making a move, Master, what monster wouldn't be easily dealt with?"
"Hehe, you think too highly of this old Taoist. This old Taoist doesn't have that kind of ability. This world is full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. You never know what kind of powerful figure might appear next."
"So Master is going to refuse Great Ming's request?"
"Why refuse? In the end, we can't let that little guy continue his mischief. Revenge is one thing. Find the targets of his revenge. But what's the meaning of displacing his anger onto other innocent people?"
Then, looking at Zhao Huanjin, who was still standing there dumbfounded, he frowned. "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and go. Don't tell me you expect this old man to go alone? What if I get lost on the way, or die halfway due to old age, and there's no one to even collect my body?"
Zhao Huanjin finally reacted. "Oh, right. Master, I'll lead the way."
Zhao Huanjin immediately stepped forward to guide Tenshifu. As long as Tenshifu was willing to go with him, he had completed the task assigned by Great Ming. The rest would be up to Tenshifu to defeat Hakuto.
Tushan.
"Sister, should we go?"
Tushan Yaya was somewhat excited. But Tushan Honghong looked at Tushan Rongrong.
"Natsuki said that if Hakuto undergoes evil godification, he might never come back. So no matter what, we have to stop Hakuto."
Tushan Rongrong sighed softly. "If I had considered this point, then the current situation wouldn't have happened."
"Rongrong, this isn't your fault. After all, who knew someone would be so insane as to do such a thing?"
