Chapter 935: Chapter 935 - 429: Sighs

Dead, dead?!

Gu Shijiu and the others, who had just successfully broken through and were preparing to come help, were completely dumbfounded.

They never expected things to suddenly develop to this point.

On their side, the plan had just been implemented halfway!

Their core forces had just managed to break through to come assist Zuo Caicai in the final showdown of king versus king.

As long as everything went smoothly, with their assistance, taking down the Ye Family should’ve been a sure thing, right?

Yet the person they considered the king, the decisive factor in victory or defeat, suddenly fell.

All plans were abruptly cut short, turning into nothingness.

It seemed as though before they even began to exert force, the curtain had already fallen on everything.

The final result was...

Zuo Family, defeated!

Ye Family, victorious!

The worst case scenario was laid bare in front of them.

"You, did well."

Ye Deyao, holding Zuo Caicai’s head, pointed to Ling Huxiang, who was gasping heavily not far away.

In the previous duel, it was supposed to be Ling Huxiang’s turn to assist Zuo Caicai in a feint, but not only did Ling Huxiang fail to do so, she unexpectedly delivered a Sword Qi to Zuo Caicai instead.

This very Sword Qi allowed Ye Deyao to seize the opportunity and suddenly take down an enemy who originally needed more time to deal with.

Swish, swish, swish—

At this moment, everyone’s gaze was fixated on Ling Huxiang, yet she knelt there with an indifferent expression.

"Tianyuan Town, foolish Underworld captain Ling Huxiang, and all team members, are willing to serve the Ye Family!"

Ling Huxiang?!

Fatty Jin stared at her with suspicion and uncertainty; the masters from the Zuo Family also looked at her with gloomy expressions.

When Zuo Caicai was retreating step by step and about to be defeated, they naturally also had the chance to stab Zuo Caicai in the back, but they did not do so because they were tied to the same ship as Zuo Caicai. If Zuo Caicai died, they also had no way out! They could only continue on a path leading to darkness!

Now, Ling Huxiang essentially annihilated this path, solely for her own survival and that of her foolish Underworld group!

However, when the ship sinks, no one should expect to be spared. After all, the Ye Family are not people who would be easily reasoned with!

Sure enough, Ye Deyao spoke.

"Now, you can betray her, naturally, later on, you can also betray me. My Ye Family does not need outsiders!"

While speaking, Ye Deyao made a throat-slitting gesture.

Seeing this, Ling Huxiang simply dropped the pretense.

"All members of the foolish Underworld, listen to my command, immediately escape down the mountain!"

As she finished speaking, she had already turned and fled.

But someone was faster than her, it was Fatty Jin.

The fragile alliance which never built much trust had already collapsed the moment the plan failed. Fatty Jin’s mind had been contemplating self-preservation early on.

Even before forming an alliance with Zuo Caicai, the five groups had each been considering how to escape.

Therefore, Fatty Jin ran very fast, and very decisively.

Atop the dome of the mountain, there was only one exit.

As long as they fled down the mountain, those guarding the artifact ceremony wouldn’t expend too much effort chasing them down.

This was inevitable, since the purpose of everyone’s trip was at the mountain’s peak. All military forces, combat power, were focused here, and they couldn’t possibly disperse precious combat strength to chase a few people.

After all, if this thinning of forces caused them to fail in gaining benefits from this conflict, it would be a grave mistake.

"I still have a wife and daughter waiting at home!"

"I haven’t even had the chance to squander the family fortune I’ve struggled to earn for so many years!"

"How can I die here!"

"I must survive and escape!!"

Fatty Jin roared in his heart as he ran, his feet seeming to slide as he sped to the extreme.

But, that was just the peak speed he could reach at his level.

Bam!!!

One palm strike.

Just one palm strike.

Fatty Jin’s consciousness was severed.

In his final moments, he hardly managed to see a shadow advancing at inhuman speed; he didn’t even see who the interceptor was before his consciousness abruptly fractured.

Ling Huxiang’s steps came to a halt.

Because blocking her way, standing at the exit, was... Lv Yuanhua!

Lv Yuanhua of Eight Thousand Blood, with combat power so terrifying it crushed most people present, and the wounded Ling Huxiang with her mere four thousand blood was no exception.

Hoo... hoo...

Ling Huxiang was panting heavily, the person who ran faster than her just now, Fatty Jin, was killed by a full strength Lv Yuanhua with a single palm strike, his head shattered into pieces, thoroughly dead.

Step.

Step.

With the addition of two other top warriors, they respectively landed beside Lv Yuanhua.

The Mountain Peak Three Giants, blocked the only exit at the peak, also cutting off the retreat of the Zuo Family alliance.

Besides this exit, the surroundings were boundless cliffs draped in mist, just looking at it made one’s heart tremble with fear.

"Master Lv Yuanhua, what is the meaning of this?"

Ling Huxiang asked in a deep voice.

[Lv Yuanhua:8000/8000.]

[Shou Guping:8000/8000.]

[Tai Shu Jun:8000/8000.]

The Mountain Peak Three Giants, like towering peaks, blocked all avenues of escape for the Zuo Family alliance.

However, facing Ling Huxiang’s question, Lv Yuanhua merely replied with a smile.

"You can continue challenging Ye Deyao to a final bloody battle, or you can surrender on the spot and be slaughtered one by one. But under no circumstances, can you leave this mountain."

Shou Guping chimed in: "Since you decided to challenge the seats, you should have prepared to die in battle. We have already given you the opportunity to choose. If earlier, it was the Ye Family that lost, they would also have to pass through our other nine families first if they wanted to escape."
