Chapter 1079: Chapter 42: Chaotic Orders
The light of the Netherworld flickered, and the return journey took notably longer than the journey there.
Firstly, the Demigod suffered a severe backlash from the Origin Energy, resulting in grave injuries. Secondly, the empowerment of the Origin Energy dissipated, leaving the Netherworld significantly weakened.
It took only a second to reach Bohai from the Yanjing Assembly Site, but the return took the Demigod about three minutes.
However, this was expected...
On the journey due to the plundering of Lin Haifeng, the defense system of the Yanjing Assembly Site was triggered, but upon return, it was less affected—Yanjing does not entirely forbid skill usage, otherwise, the master blacksmiths and researchers would have suffered...
When the Demigod used the Netherworld to return, no one noticed as he stealthily made his way back to the Supreme Command Headquarters of the Yanjing Assembly Site!
"Lord Demigod!"
Three minutes had been enough for the personnel of the Yanjing Assembly Site to recover from the shock; with the Supreme Command Headquarters bombed and the three people at the top of Yanjing disappearing, such a major event required a quick response, or heads would roll! Thus, when the Demigod entered the Supreme Command Headquarters, he was met with dozens of Hidden Guards!
"Hmm."
The Demigod lightly nodded without waiting for those present to speak, immediately saying: "Lin Tianxue harbors ulterior motives and had long set a trap at the Command Headquarters. The Commander has been taken by me to a safe location; now, you are to proceed to the inner city zone to arrest Lin Tianxue!"
"This..."
The many Hidden Guards looked at each other in confusion...
This does not conform to regulations—the Hidden Guard, what are they? Lin Haifeng’s direct men, his sharp blade! It is no exaggeration to say each Hidden Guard is a Sequence-class powerful expert, their loyalty through the roof! In Lin Haifeng’s absence, their primary task was to locate him immediately!
That’s right, to locate Lin Haifeng immediately...in other words, the Hidden Guards have a method of finding Lin Haifeng...
At this moment, the leading Hidden Guard already held a tablet, fingers constantly swiping. Hearing the Demigod’s order, this Hidden Guard finally looked up and said: "Lord Demigod, the position of Commander Lin has been determined, but it seems there’s a high-tech interference device around him, roughly located near Bohai, I request to deploy forces to find Commander Lin first..."
This Hidden Guard’s eyes were blazing, having clearly made up his mind.
Seeing the dozens of unwavering Hidden Guards ahead, the Demigod fell silent, then sighed lightly.
"The old man’s ability to manage people, I truly admire..."
The Hidden Guards, with average strength reaching Sequence-class standards, including five Breakthrough Achievers; the physique of a Breakthrough Achiever sits between 10,000 and 20,000, appearing weak, yet neither the Sea King nor Skyray is considerably stronger than them...
Perhaps in a one-on-one, they could easily crush the Hidden Guards, but once dozens of Hidden Guards collectively reached Lin Haifeng’s side...so-called "Sea King," so-called Skyray, would likely be overwhelmed by this group! And as the Hidden Guards arrived, could Yanjing’s main army be far behind?
A single person as an army? Am I now the army? Invincible against ten thousand? Sorry, that would refer to Wen Yu, or if the opposition were a ragtag group.
Yanjing’s main army really isn’t something the Sea King and Skyray can break through!
Why did I let Lin Tianxue stir the waters of Yanjing into a muddle? It was for fear that Yanjing’s forces would rescue Lin Haifeng from his predicament, and once Lin Haifeng was freed, any plans, any schemes would seem like nonsense to the old man, truly reaching that step, the plan would be doomed to fail!
Beyond absolute strength, Lin Haifeng is simply Invincible!
The Demigod’s soft sigh did not conceal anything from anyone...
At this moment, the Hidden Guards surrounding the Demigod heard these words, the smart ones narrowed their eyes, slowly retreating, while the less perceptive still wanted to argue with the Demigod...
Until the Demigod’s perception detected a Hidden Guard in the back sneakily taking out a communicator...
"Die!!!"
"Boom!"
In an instant, a massive Thunderbolt Flower bloomed, energy fluctuations and light were tightly controlled by the Demigod, yet in a short period, these off-guard Hidden Guards were incinerated.
"Cough cough cough...cough cough cough..."
Even as the attacker, even as a pure output of power, the Demigod seemed hollowed out, half-kneeling on the ground, clutching his chest weakly.
"Damn it..."
Behind, footsteps gradually approached, more troops were on the way—or rather, they had already reached downstairs.
The Demigod panted heavily, once again activating the Netherworld, instantly teleporting to an uninhabited external area.
Fetching a communication device from the space ring, the Demigod decisively dialed a number until the busy tone passed: "Lord Demigod, this is the Yanjing Assembly Site..."
"Cut the nonsense! Listen to me! Assemble all available troops to arrest Lin Tianxue immediately, including the armies on the Eternal Sky City, that’s my order!"
"But..."
"But what?"
"Just now, Lord Fang Bai already issued orders for the dispatch center to inform the Shadow Squad, Dragon-Tooth Squad, and Black King Squad to gather at the outer city gate..."
"Oh?"
The Demigod intentionally elongated the sound, seemingly pondering something, and after a while, said in a calm tone: "Pull them back, that’s my order!"
"But..."
"That’s my order!!!"
"Yes, Lord Demigod!"
Without Lin Haifeng, without Fran, no, as long as Lin Haifeng’s absent, the Demigod is the highest authority in the Yanjing Assembly Site! Taking Fran along was only because that old fox is too astute...
