Chapter 1098: Chapter 59: Wrapping Up
As Wen Yu walked out of the secret treasury, a series of spiritual fluctuations and the buzzing of the communicator brought Wen Yu back to reality from his confusion about his own position.
"Boss, it seems something happened in Yanjing, I’m too far away to get there in time."
This was Luo Luo on the Asian Continent.
"Master, Yanjing was attacked, Tang Haofei was awakened, the central control tower of Eternal Sky City was destroyed, everything happened too quickly, Cloud Puppet Squad 378 could only monitor, unable to stop it."
This was the reconnaissance group made up of hundreds of Cloud Puppets stationed by Wen Yu outside the Yanjing Assembly Site.
"Don’t go, Luo Luo stay on standby for now, Cloud Puppet Squad remains on alert, that’s it."
After a simple reply to the spiritual fluctuations of Luo Luo and the Cloud Puppet Squad, Wen Yu took out the communicator from his waist and connected the call.
The communicator was noisy and chaotic, but Lin Haifeng’s voice remained calm.
"Something’s wrong, hurry back."
"Got it."
With a question and answer, the call was ended, and Wen Yu turned into a black light, rushing straight toward the exit of the Heavenly Palace.
...
At the moment Lin Haifeng returned to the Yanjing Assembly Site, the commotion in Yanjing had already subsided.
Lin Tianxue and her group were arrested, all the personnel left by the Demigod were also detained, the propaganda system was reclaimed, and even the battlefield was cleaned up. In summary, aside from the central control tower of Eternal Sky City and the Yanjing Main Command Post being destroyed, everything else was not much different from before it all happened.
Lin Haifeng and Fran hastily made their way to the alternate command post in the inner city zone of Yanjing.
Here, Kasu, pale and weak, and Fang Bai, just dug out by his subordinates, sat with grim faces, contemplating how to resolve this sudden incident.
"Commander Lin."
"Commander Lin."
Seeing Lin Haifeng and Fran walk into the alternate command post, Fang Bai and Kasu stood up and saluted, then reported the situation.
"The central control tower took an unstoppable external strike, my method of resurrection failed."
Kasu’s report was straightforward; in short, I couldn’t defend against this, Tang Haofei was released not because I lacked effort, but because the enemy had high power.
Alright, Lin Haifeng himself hadn’t intended to entangle with Kasu on this matter, dismissing Kasu with a few words, and only after Kasu left did Fang Bai speak.
"The Demigod... well, Kuangliu betrayed Yanjing, the entire situation was manipulated by Kuangliu."
After Fang Bai finished, he looked at the old man’s expression. Lin Haifeng’s demeanor was indifferent, showing no sign of surprise, and Fang Bai immediately realized that Lin Haifeng had long been aware of the Demigod’s true identity.
So he continued, "Lin Tianxue and her group have already been detained, based on the comparison of Lin Tianxue and Qin Tian’s statements, they were likely used by the Demigod. They only wanted to escape the city and head to the Star of Africa, and the personnel who initiated the rebellion were all pawns set by the Demigod, now already arrested. Meanwhile, Walter also participated in this action, he betrayed us."
The betrayal of the Demigod and Sequence Number 3 was undoubtedly a severe blow to Yanjing!
These two were arguably the most formidable combat forces at the Yanjing Assembly Site.
However, Lin Haifeng was not agitated or angry, he just nodded, indicating he knew, then waved his hand to signal Fang Bai to leave.
Yet Fang Bai still had other concerns: "Well, Dad, Xiao Xue was just deceived by Kuangliu this time, I think..."
"Enough, enough!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Haifeng’s face, usually like an unfathomable old well, suddenly showed impatience. With his son having other intentions and his daughter being a fool, Lin Haifeng at this moment was far from the indifference he displayed.
"Sigh..."
Seeing Fang Bai’s hesitant face, Lin Haifeng ultimately softened his tone: "Let Xiao Xue reflect well in prison, also conduct psychological evaluations and lie detector tests on Qin Tian, Arthur, and Agul. Once it’s confirmed to be safe, release them."
The entire process of this incident, Lin Haifeng could guess most of it; who was the opponent, who was innocent, Lin Haifeng already had his judgment in mind. Qin Tian and the others’ actions, in Lin Haifeng’s view, were not unforgivable crimes. Rather than detaining them or letting them disappear, it would be better to let them continue to make contributions to Yanjing.
After this event, Lin Haifeng had other thoughts—perhaps it was time for Yanjing to nurture some lethal weapons capable of countering those two monsters, and Qin Tian’s Absolute Kill Slash was undoubtedly the quickest to show results. Unfortunately, human minds are fickle, and who knows if after raising him today, Qin Tian’s intentions might change tomorrow...
At this moment, Lin Haifeng also realized the drawbacks of developing power, however, the path was set from the start, and Lin Haifeng had even mapped out three-year, five-year, or even century-long development plans. Moreover, thinking about enhancing his individual power, it might be too late now.
After sending Fang Bai away, Lin Haifeng sighed as he reclined in his chair, as if aged by ten years.
"Contact Wen Yu."
Fran, beside him, couldn’t find comforting words, so he could only hope to rely on Wen Yu to cope with the series of consequences after Tang Haofei’s release.
...
When Wen Yu arrived in Yanjing and walked into the alternate command post, what he saw was a smoky atmosphere as if there had been a fire.
The two old men had dull expressions, clustered together in the command post, smoking. Wen Yu closed the door and sat casually on the sofa, pretending to ask, "What happened?"
"Tang Haofei was released."
"What?"
Wen Yu exclaimed in shock, though it was a feigned reaction, but Lin Haifeng’s next words put Wen Yu entirely at ease.
"His purpose is to regain control of Eternal Sky City."
This matter, Bai hadn’t informed Wen Yu, and as soon as Lin Haifeng spoke, Wen Yu immediately realized the impact of this issue.
"Succeeded?"
Wen Yu narrowed his eyes, contemplating something, and seeing this, Lin Haifeng felt a wave of frustration rise in his heart—this guy thought just like he did.
"If successful, what would you do?"
"Oh, no need to say, I’d negotiate with Tang Haofei seriously. There’s not much conflict of interest between us, and as for sealing him away, well, it’s just a minor grievance, and there’s always a way to resolve it."
Tang Two, although impulsive and willful, was still human, and as long as he was human, he would have the instinct to seek advantage and avoid harm. Given the fact that he had been sealed for five years, Wen Yu believed that with his power as backing, Tang Haofei would be willing to talk to him.
In other words, it was still up in the air who should fear whom.
"It didn’t succeed, I preserved Eternal Sky City."
Lin Haifeng decisively reassured Wen Yu, then continued, "And you’ve been targeted by Earth’s consciousness."
