Chapter 1266: Chapter 1266: Defeat Like a Collapsing Mountain
Ye Luo, these people watched him grow up; he was arrogant and overbearing, but only to his enemies!
He was proud, he loved to fight, but he knew the bigger picture!
...
"I heard that the kid ran off to the Wa Kingdom, and moreover, he stirred up quite a commotion there. Our intelligence department in the Wa Kingdom sent back news that the kid caused a huge stir again, and somehow provoked the Corpse King Palace and the Wa Kingdom to go to war first. I’m afraid that right now, the Wa Kingdom and the Corpse King Palace are engaged in fierce battle!"
Zhao Gang spoke to Elder Shi, his tone full of pride. No matter what, Ye Luo still held the title of the head of the Earth Group of the Special Security Bureau. In a way, he could be considered one of their own.
"Haha, this kid, I knew he wouldn’t stay quiet. This way is good too; at least it will tie up some of the Corpse King Palace’s strength. Anyway, whether it’s the Corpse King Palace or the Wa Kingdom, whoever dies would be good news for us!"
Elder Shi was also immensely pleased.
The captain of the combat team was also smiling, but he said, "Why not call the kid back? I believe, with our faces to consider, if we ask him to come back, the kid wouldn’t refuse."
"You’re right that if we send him a message, he will indeed come back. But, calling him back will only harm him. I am sure that if the kid is here, whether it’s people from the Hidden Sects or the secular families, they will try every means to harm him!"
...
Elder Shi’s words plunged everyone into silence.
On the surface, it seemed that Ye Luo had offended too many people, but only after truly interacting with these people did one understand that they were not worthy of respect. At this point, it could be said that everyone understood why Ye Luo looked down on those people.
Selfish and narrow-minded, disregarding the overall situation, constantly scheming, but only capable of internal strife. When faced with a powerful enemy, they cower!
Not just Ye Luo, everyone from the Special Security Bureau and the War God’s team wished they could deal with some of these people first.
Unfortunately, they couldn’t do that, otherwise they would only hasten the disintegration of what was called the special departments.
"Report, urgent news from the front, internal strife has broken out within the Hidden Sects, and they are now fighting fiercely!"
"What!"
Elder Shi abruptly stood up!
Internal strife!
They had internal strife at such a critical juncture?
Stepping out of the tent, even without going too far, one could already hear the sounds of battle!
At that moment, within the Hidden Sects’ camp, flames reached for the sky, and countless figures were fighting in chaos!
This time, the Hidden Sects taking part in the special departments included over thirty different powers, with nearly ten thousand participants in the battle!
But now, those thousands were chaotically fighting among themselves.
"It’s over... all over..."
Elder Shi’s gaze was vacant as he looked at the sky-high flames; he felt only despair in his heart.
"Damn it, these damn people, couldn’t they have chosen a better time for internal strife? With the enemy at our doorstep, what can’t be put aside! The special departments, they’re done for!"
The team captain trembled all over, clearly out of sheer anger.
"What do we do? Just wait here?"
Zhao Gang’s voice came through, and at the same time, a large group of strong figures from secular powers were already running towards them.
"With the internal strife in the Hidden Sects, what should we do?"
The Family Head of the Long Family asked loudly at the forefront.
At this moment, everyone understood that if they didn’t come up with a solution, once the Corpse King Palace launched an attack, they might not even have a chance to escape.
"Retreat!"
Suddenly, Elder Shi shouted loudly!
Everyone was slightly startled. Retreat?
After assembling a massive army, just to retreat without engaging in battle?
But what else could they do at this moment apart from retreating?
"Retreat, there’s internal strife within the Hidden Sect. If we don’t leave now, the Corpse King Palace is likely to wipe us out in one fell swoop!"
"But if we leave now, I’m afraid we won’t have the strength to confront the Corpse King Palace anymore..."
Seeing the continuous battle cries from the Hidden Sect forces ahead, everyone felt an inexplicable sadness in their hearts. They all understood that with the start of the internal strife, this battle was lost!
And lost thoroughly at that!
Many couldn’t understand why there would be internal strife within the Hidden Sect at this critical time, but facts were facts!
"Look quickly, it’s the people from the Snow Palace and the Three Emperors Hall!"
Suddenly, Zhao Gang shouted loudly.
Indeed, in the distance, the people from the Snow Palace and the Three Emperors Hall were retreating side by side, heading towards the Earth Group’s position.
"Let’s go, assist them!"
At this time, every bit of added strength counted!
"Alright, let’s go, assist them!"
The team leader did not hesitate at all, rushing over to where the Snow Palace and the Three Emperors Hall group were followed by about five hundred disciples from the Corpse King Palace and at least three thousand zombies.
These zombies were carefully cultivated by the Corpse King Palace, which claimed to have a hundred thousand Saint-Level zombies!
Just the sheer number was terrifying enough. However, these zombies were similar to false powerhouses, merely having the appearance of power. The Corpse King Palace’s Saint-Level zombies were much like their false powerhouses in that they only had the physique but greatly lacked actual combat strength.
After all, zombies are still zombies, without any consciousness. In battle, they only rely on instinct.
Therefore, these Saint-Level zombies, in reality, had strength only equivalent to fodder.
Of course, if one were to be surrounded by these zombies, the outcome would be difficult to predict.
"Kill!"
The team leader let out a fierce shout, leading the charge.
Seeing that the team was coming to assist, the Snow Palace and the Three Emperors Hall group stopped their retreat and turned to press towards the Corpse King Palace disciples, ready to wipe out this group of enemies.
The battle erupted instantly, and in just a moment, the Corpse King Palace disciples and the accompanying zombies were all eliminated. However, this victory didn’t bring much significance to the overall situation.
The Corpse King Palace had played its hidden moves, and the Elders they had controlled had suddenly struck. These Elders weren’t acting alone; they also included the disciples who followed them. Thus, this internal strife actually had more than two thousand participants.
When the battle broke out, many were confused and had no idea what was happening, only aware that their fellow disciples suddenly attacked those nearby.
Everyone was in utter disarray and they couldn’t even trust their everyday peers!
Moreover, at the same time as the internal strife erupted, the Corpse King Palace also pressed in from all sides. With just one contact, the Hidden Sect forces were defeated.
Numerous Hidden Sect disciples scattered and fled in panic, but spreading out only made them die faster!
After all, the Corpse King Palace had a large number of zombies and also many fake powerhouses. Perhaps the Corpse King Palace is no match for the Hidden Sects in a contest of top experts, but in terms of mid to lower echelon strength, the Corpse King Palace had an overwhelming advantage.
After all, the Hidden Sect was already in utter chaos.
"No, we can’t just withdraw like this. The people from the Hidden Sect are still our strength against the Corpse King Palace. If we abandon them, it will be even harder for us to stand against the Corpse King Palace in the future!"
