Chapter 574: Into Enemy Lines (1)
Qin Ye would have shown him that not even the tailed beasts were invincible existences!
Sensing the absence of any murderous intent, Wang Chenghao sighed softly to himself and continued boldly, “But credit where it’s due, the look on your face earlier was pretty damn smart. I guess it’s true when they say that men are the most good looking when they’re serious…”
Wang Chenghao nearly coughed up blood. Suppressing the rage in his heart, he frowned back at Qin Ye, “Speaking of which, it’s crazy that you’re able to come up with a plan like that despite the lack of information. That said, have you ever considered how we’re supposed to extricate ourselves from this sea of living dead in the off-chance that if your plans fail? We’re playing with fire over here!”
Oda Nobutada thought for a little while, and then nodded affirmatively.
To his mind, there was a 50% chance that they would risk straining relations with Hell and go all out against the trio.
He glanced at Qin Ye cautiously, and then chose his words wisely, “Haven’t even tried your hand at it before.”
Wang Chenghao: ……
Shouldn’t your next statement have been a drop of wisdom in the ocean, revealing that there is in truth no danger with these operations?
Qin Ye began to touch up the blood of the living dead on the faces of the other two, “Never, ever let the cat out of the bag.”
“Naturally, we can only expect them to treat us with the utmost ruthlessness - far beyond anything we can expect of the Russian Underworld. Rumyantsev might not dare to stain his hands with the blood of an Infernal Judge of Hell, but so long as we continue to threaten the grand opening of the Hanyang Underworld, Liu Yu’s forces would most certainly not hesitate to squash us like an ant…”
Pak!
His palace was constructed in the most luxurious manner, and with the most precious of materials. There were walls of gold, coiled dragon pillars, and even a golden well etched with the reliefs of nine majestic dragons. A throne of dragons was situated on a raised platform in the grand hall, while a gold lacquered table was placed right in front of his throne, on which rested a turquoise jade seal.
“Gijang County is where you first employed the Ouroboros spell! Zhong Kui would have had to travel across the entire Buk District, through the Geumjeong District in order to get to Gijang County! You even allowed him to slip into the Jukseong Dream Cathedral before you finally informed me about their infiltration?! What in the world are you trying to do here?!!”
Anyone familiar with world history would recognize this emblem, because this emblem once represented the supreme power of Rus!
It was once the most powerful spy organization in the world, bar none! They shone so brightly that even the FBI could do nothing more than bow down to them in submission, at least until they were finally disbanded in 1991, and what remained of them changed their name to the Russian Federal Security Service.
Do you think that British MI6 is a big deal? How about the Cambridge Five double agents?
And what about President Putin?
The Red Terror.
The man standing in front of Liu Yu was merely a Hellguard-class Yin spirit, but he stood valiantly and without fear before the Infernal Judge Liu Yu.
His voice deepened as he continued, “Earl Liu, it’s our right to withhold any information from you. This information has merely been disclosed to you out of goodwill. Besides, rather than pointing fingers, shouldn’t you be channeling your mind towards how you can salvage the situation?”
As the figure of the Hellguard faded away, he left Liu Yu with some parting words, “Marquis Rumyantsev is already heading to Gonjiam Asylum. Ah, that’s right. He’s asked me to specifically inform you that this Infernal Judge carries two high-quality Yin artifacts with him.”
“Who knows…?” The man chuckled softly, “The Russian Underworld may be strong, but we certainly don’t have as much gall as Earl Liu when it comes to standing tall against one of the four strongest underworlds…”
With that, the stream of Yin energy vanished into the distance. Liu Yu stood blankly where he was for a long time, before suddenly jerking his head up with an intense, murderous intent brewing in the depths of his eyes.
Having done so much… and having been presented with such a prime opportunity… how can I simply call it quits right now?!
The humiliation today shall be repaid double once I claim the Central Plains as mine. Who cares if you’re the Lord of the Danube or not? You weren’t even born when I first called myself an emperor!
“My Lord, we await your orders.”
“Yes!” A Hellguard responded, but then immediately paused, “But, My Lord… we can’t get inside…”
Such humiliation…
It was no different from how the Daeian Armed Forces still needed the nod of approval from the Usonian forces!
“Yes!”
Clatter… Moments later, pieces of golden battle armor appeared in the air and began to affix themselves onto Liu Yu’s body.
The entire palace was brightly lit, and filled with an atmosphere of vibrancy and excitement.
“When the cat’s away, the mice will play. You should leave now if you know what’s best for you. Once the Hanyang Underworld is properly established, and the trade talks with Yanluo Qin resume, I’ll naturally see to it that I reward you accordingly. But should you dare linger around any longer where your presence isn’t welcome…”
Boom! With that, Liu Yu transformed into a majestic nethergale that swept right out of the golden palace. As he charged out, tens of thousands of skeletal war horses and cavalrymen followed his lead and rumbled right after him.
Dong… dong… Midnight. The toll of bells cut through the dead silence of the night, stirring to life the multitude of living dead in the city.
As soon as the bells rang, the living dead in the convenience store looked up in unison and glanced avariciously at the empty city streets outside.
Nobody was kidding around anymore. Each of the trio put on their best performance, doing everything they could to blend into the group of the living dead that was marching out onto the streets.
The aura of Yin energy quickly shifted away from him, and only then did he feel his heart palpitating with fear. The Yin energy was clearly filled with bloodlust. Who knows how many humans it had devoured by now? At the very least, he could tell that this was in no way a trifling Yin spirit.
He silently surveyed the surroundings of Gijang County after midnight. The entire county reeked of decay and fetid odor as living corpses with twisted expressions and contorted limbs took to the streets, wandering aimlessly about. It was an incredibly bizarre sight under the pale sheen of the moonlight. The only sounds were the rustling of feet and the involuntary gurgling sounds made by the throats of the living dead. His eyes passed over a few buildings, and then… he suddenly paused.
These were regular Yin soldiers of the Hanyang Underworld!
