Chapter 1441 - 645: Keeping Promises (Part 2)
I initially thought that this monumental event would be enough to doom Fang Yu, that he would certainly die, and that even if the entire Underworld exerted all its power, Fang Yu would be apprehended and brought to justice. Yet unexpectedly... the Lord of Mansion suddenly died, and the situation took a sharp turn for the worse, leading to the point where he has to bow to Fang Yu and admit his mistakes!
This humiliation! This disgrace! He can only choke it down, unable to resist in the slightest!
Because... this was the order from the Lord of Mansion.
...
"Inexplicable."
Fang Yu, leaving the room, couldn’t help but mutter to himself.
After shaking hands and making peace with Jinfang Zai, whose face was twisted in displeasure, Fang Yu was then invited out of the room.
It seemed that this opposing Hall Master, Jinfang Zai, was even more trustworthy than him, the Minister of the Rebel Army.
However, Fang Yu still obtained some information, which was that... within the Underworld, not only did Jinfang Zai join the Rebel Army, but... all Hall Masters have joined!
Now, he was heading to the conference hall where the previous four ministers gathered, to meet with other Hall Masters, awaiting orders, and participating in the Rebel Army’s mission.
Suddenly adding so many generals, so much vital force, one could say the Rebel Army’s strength has soared significantly.
Although it’s hard to say whether they can compete against the Ten Major Families, beneath them, they certainly stand as a unique presence.
In the current chaotic situation with unclear prospects, the Rebel Army holding this power might actually achieve something substantial?
Fang Yu pondered this secretly and had already arrived at the door of the conference hall. As he pushed the door open, the silhouettes inside began to turn and look toward him.
Meanwhile, in the laboratory, Ding Hui suddenly whispered excitedly.
"It worked!"
...
"Hush hush hush—"
Song Qianlong gently soothed the child sprawling on the ground like a beast, baring its teeth.
His gaze, however, surpassed the child, looking at the big willow tree ahead.
Under the big willow tree, a figure slowly emerged from behind the tree.
If Fang Yu were here, he would undoubtedly recognize the true form of this figure at a glance, surprisingly... the Defiled Blood Clone Demon!
"Hiss hiss!"
The Defiled Blood Clone Demon also mimicked a hunting dog’s posture by slightly crouching, showcasing a stance of alertness and aggression, similarly baring its teeth.
"Letting you roam freely for a while, you seem to have gained some wild nature."
Song Qianlong said with a smile, beckoning to it.
The Defiled Blood Clone Demon hesitated immediately, glanced at the child beside Song Qianlong, and hesitantly, slowly approached Song Qianlong step by step.
"Good, come closer and let me take a good look at you, see how much you’ve grown."
Song Qianlong coaxed patiently like a loving father.
The distance between the two continued to narrow.
When the distance between the Defiled Blood Clone Demon and Song Qianlong was only ten steps...
"Roar!!!"
The child beside Song Qianlong suddenly erupted like a beast, instantly pouncing toward the Defiled Blood Clone Demon!
No time to dodge, the Defiled Blood Clone Demon was instantly grabbed by the neck by the child!
"Roar!!"
The Defiled Blood Clone Demon let out an enraged roar, frantically thrashing its body, flipping and rolling on the ground, yet unable to shake off the bloodthirsty child!
Vitality rapidly declined, it emitted painful wails, gradually ceased struggling, but its gaze persistently locked onto Song Qianlong, seemingly filled with puzzlement, confusion, ultimately...
Crack!
The bloodthirsty child completely bit through the neck of the Defiled Blood Clone Demon, tore off its head, and immediately began to feast with skin and flesh, eating with its face covered in blood, and with a swipe of its blood-covered hand across the mouth, its visage became even more sinister.
"Hahaha! So impatient!"
Song Qianlong laughed heartily, completely indifferent to the life or death of the Defiled Blood Clone Demon.
However, when he approached the corpse, he was immediately met with the bloodthirsty child’s bared teeth and the beast-like menacing growls.
Song Qianlong halted.
But even at a distance, he already noticed.
This... was still merely a clone of the Defiled Blood Clone Demon.
"Growing wilder, not even listening to my orders, not using the true form to meet me!"
Song Qianlong’s eyes turned icy.
The Defiled Blood Clone Demon was supposed to be one of the crucial components of his plan.
The product of human-demon hybrid possesses merely infinite potential.
While the Defiled Blood Clone Demon is like a forceful blaze that magnifies this potential infinitely! Turning it into immediate combat power, into... the ultimate form he yearns for!
But all this requires first finding the true body of the Defiled Blood Clone Demon, through which he can absorb the power of all its clones, consolidate it, and then feed it to Bao’er, completing his ultimate goal.
Everything was ready, just missing the crucial east wind.
Yet, unexpectedly, something went wrong with the Defiled Blood Clone Demon!
"Sky-reaching Pillar... my Sky-reaching Pillar, it’s right in front of me!"
Song Qianlong, who had been maintaining a calm demeanor, suddenly had a few contorted expressions creep across his face.
This emotional change was instantly sensed by the bloodthirsty child devouring the corpse nearby, who turned its head swiftly, baring blood-drenched teeth and letting out a threatening snarl.
"Good... be good, Bao’er, finish this meal, and there’ll be more to come. Don’t worry, no one will take it from you, all this meat is yours, it’s all yours!"
With his abilities, Che Xintai’s death could be concealed for a while longer. Even the current madam, Miss Bo Shan of the Bo Family, was his backup plan to sire an offspring. He had made many preparations, though now some seemed unnecessary.
Due to Bao’er’s birth, and because... Thunder City was in chaos. Total chaos.
Song Qianlong looked up at the sky with obsession and admiration in his eyes.
The menacing, roaring Thunder Clouds seemed like a deity positioned in the sky, overlooking all beings!
And he, too, was about to possess... all of this!
He was about to... become one of the deities!
As long as...
Song Qianlong glanced at the Defiled Blood Clone Demon’s body, half-eaten, and took out a Blood Pearl from his chest, seemingly sensing something.
Swish——
Not far away, atop a tall building, a figure suddenly burst into red light and darted away swiftly!
"Over there, huh... quite the quick escape."
He pocketed the blood-red pearl and leisurely waited for Bao’er to finish licking clean the remaining bits of the corpse, stretching out its long, barbed tongue to lap up every drop of blood and froth.
Then, he led this monster towards the distance, into the darkness.
...
Rebel Stronghold.
"So many red dots."
Ding Hui couldn’t help but marvel.
Before her, Song Xi, resembling a tumor, was bleeding from head to toe.
Their body seemed riddled with holes, resembling an enigmatic map, each hole emitting a faint crimson glow!
Only Ding Hui understood that each red dot on Song Xi’s body represents the current locations... of the Defiled Blood Clone Demon!
When one red dot shifted, a groove appeared on Song Xi’s body, and the former hole slowly closed. When the red light stopped, like taking root, a new hole appeared at the red light’s location.
The entire process was ghastly, resembling a sacrificial ritual, terrifying and insane.
"Dear sister, from now on, you too are... part of the Defiled Blood Clone Demon. Don’t be afraid, it’s only temporary. Once I inject the array, everything will be complete. If I and Diao Deyi manage to leave Thunder City smoothly, your suffering will naturally end, too."
Ding Hui gently comforted the trembling tumor, her soft words seeming to hide tremendous fear, making the tumor shiver and tremble violently.
...
"Xiong Rudong?"
"Present!"
Xiong Rudong quickly reached out to grasp the iron bars of the cell door, looking at the person outside.
"Master Ji, have you contacted Mr. Diao?"
The small old man Ji Xiangsong looked coldly at the person inside the cell.
In truth, this cell, or rather, this power was not enough to restrain the person before him.
But ordinarily, the person before him also had no reason to contact him.
It’s just that this guy was lucky enough, asking house to house like searching a needle in a haystack, using Minister Diao’s name to inquire of every merchant.
Ji Xiangsong could naturally ignore it, and there would be no follow-up.
But he still put some thought into it, investigated a bit, and then decided to create another opportunity to meet privately and ask the person to stay.
The Hall Master of a small faction still held considerable power, and Ji Xiangsong had no ability to capture this person, but they voluntarily allowed themselves to be captured here, all for the sake of meeting Mr. Diao once.
However... now, the meeting couldn’t happen, but good news was still available.
"Mr. Diao is busy with affairs and can’t meet you. But according to what you said, Mr. Diao has still kept his promise, willing to help Brother Xiong with this matter. Tonight at midnight, bring your family to the south gate of the city. Our Rebel Army members will meet you there and arrange for your departure from Thunder City."
