Chapter 713: Chapter 664 Hegemony_2
Lin Rui didn’t consider them true allies, so he hadn’t inford them beforehand.
Qi Tianquan thought to himself, “So this is what he ant by ‘not yet’.” While nodding slightly, he shifted his gaze to the southern side of the Base City.
Because 171 miles south, an explosion suddenly occurred, sending massive black smoke and dust billowing into the sky.
“The South District Police Chief, Sakakibara Shinya!” Qi Tianquan murmured as he narrowed his eyes into slits.
This Lin Rui really intends to uproot the Longevity Association’s influence in the Ninth City.
Where on earth does his confidence co from?
Moreover, the ‘Forest · Rui Fang’ Group’s speed of elimination is astonishing—it has already taken down the eleventh high-ranking master.
Sakakibara Shinya, as the police chief of the South District, held the strength of a Seventh Realm Super Emperor, yet was eradicated in an instant!
This shows that Lin Rui’s forces include at least three highly powerful action teams operating efficiently within the Base City, carrying out relentless slaughter.
Their demonstrated strength is overwhelming. Many high-ranking mbers of the Longevity Association in the Ninth Base City had already been alerted and attempted to escape and hide but were all cornered by the ‘Forest · Rui Fang’ Group, effectively pinning them down and awaiting execution by the group’s top fighters.
Now, apart from three Honorary mbers and their respective forces, nearly all core personnel of the Longevity Association in the Eight Realms and above have been killed by Lin Rui’s forces. The focus has now shifted to those in the Seventh Realm.
Fang Kongfang stroked his chin, wondering, could Lin Rui actually win?
Though his nephew-in-law was young, he certainly wasn’t foolish and wouldn’t provoke the Longevity Association without sufficient strength.
Especially with Linghu Mingde and Fang Ranran observing everything.
The Sky Blue Group’s intelligence director assessed that regardless of the outco of this battle, the Longevity Association’s influence in the Ninth City would suffer a devastating blow.
Based on the personalities of these three, she believed the battle would likely result in severe casualties on both sides for Lin Rui and Linghu Mingde. With Li Xianglong’s assistance, they might reach a stalemate with the Longevity Association, leading to intervention and diation by the Federation Governnt to halt the conflict.
Fang Kongfang found the intelligence director’s judgnt hard to believe, which is why he sought Qi Tianquan’s external perspective.
Explosions and tremors continued throughout the Base City’s interior, though the affected areas remained small. Thanks to the municipal governnt’s risk advisory and lockdown orders issued ten minutes earlier, most civilians were unaffected.
However, so level of panic still gripped the citizens inside the Base City. They mostly stayed at ho or huddled inside large buildings, skyscrapers, and urban transit stations, closely following major news channels.
Fang Kongfang was also glued to the news, keeping seven news channels and three political comntary programs simultaneously active.
“——At 2:22 PM today, Mayor Huo Bangguo issued a lockdown order, mobilizing the Base Defense Forces and Ard Police Force to seal off major intersections and transit routes. He also issued a risk warning, urging citizens of the Ninth Base City to avoid unnecessary outings.”
“Since 2:00 PM today, explosions have persisted within the Ninth Base City. Reports suggest multiple high-ranking governnt officials have been assassinated. Sources claim this may stem from conflicts between the Longevity Association and the Forest Group.”
“What’s happening in the Ninth Base City now? Effectively, it’s the Longevity Association VS the Children’s Song Killer. During the Longevity Association and Security Bureau’s full-scale conflict, the Children’s Song Killer launched a fatal assault. As for who the Children’s Song Killer is? Everyone knows. The Longevity Association kills high-ranking governnt officials without restraint; the Children’s Song Killer is equally ruthless!”
“I believe this battle will determine who holds power in the Ninth Base City for the next year. However, I doubt this was Lin Rui’s initial intention. It’s likely the devastating setbacks suffered by Lin Tianchen and Li Xianglong forced him and Linghu Mingde to act defensively out of shared vulnerability.”
“This may also be related to the City Council’s urban expansion proposal. Lin Rui’s faction appears to be clearing obstacles for the expansion plan.”
“——However, I firmly believe that today, the Forest Group will et its end! Lin Rui has seriously overestimated himself while underestimating the Longevity Association. Most people don’t realize the sheer magnitude of the Longevity Association’s power—it’s a behemoth grown from the corpse of the Divine Illumination Association!”
Fang Kongfang’s lips twitched. This political program certainly didn’t shy away from bold claims—
He also noticed that the ‘Forest · Rui Fang’ Group’s cleanup was accelerating—likely because the truly difficult targets had been eliminated.
Nonetheless, at this mont, every high-ranking figure and influential player throughout the entire Base City was closely following this battle.
This sudden outbreak of war was indeed deciding the balance of power in the Ninth Base City.
If Lin Rui and Linghu Mingde erged victorious, then until Yang Lingxiao and Qi Tianquan’s Divine Contracts expired, they would dominate the Ninth Base City, unchecked and unrestrained.
At that instant, a bright flash erupted again from the southern area of the Base City.
This ti, the light was not only exceptionally intense but also emitted massive amounts of radiation that disrupted the surrounding electrical systems.
Qi Tianquan raised an eyebrow slightly: “‘Six-Eyed Heavenly Serpent’ Palin Hoover! ‘Phoenix’ Karina Fraser.”
——These were two Quasi-mbers, nearly at the level of Honorary mbers—elite fighters! They had directly confronted the ‘Children’s Song Killer.’
The appearance of these two fighters suggested that other mbers of the Longevity Association would soon follow. Vice President Brown had undoubtedly already entered the Base City. The Longevity Association was preparing to rally its forces and launch a counteroffensive.
“Starting off with two Quasi-mbers—what a display! Wait, no!”
