Chapter 1198: Chapter 1194: Hidden Agendas
In the very center of this small room stood a platform, and on this platform lay a glowing red object, which was none other than the Spirit Vein Stone that should have been beneath Jiang City.
Around the Spirit Vein Stone, tubes were inserted, constantly wriggling, indicating that sothing was being continuously infused into the Spirit Vein Stone.
In fact, what was being infused into the Spirit Vein Stone wasn’t so “thing,” but purely the “Power of Death.”
The Power of Death couldn’t enhance the power of the Spirit Vein Stone itself, but it could completely activate the power within the Spirit Vein Stone. Since the Spirit Vein Stone was seized, it has been placed here and infused with the Power of Death, and by now, the power within the Spirit Vein Stone has been fully released!
When it was under Jiang City, the Spirit Vein Stone was not so radiant, but now the red glow has reached a point where it can’t be looked at directly!
Beside the Spirit Vein Stone, two people were cautiously observing its dynamics. One of them, wearing a white suit, was Elder Xi Feng, one of the four elders of the Black Hole Clan. Since Elder Dong Feng was temporarily away from Southern City, when he left, he specifically instructed Elder Xi Feng to guard the Spirit Vein Stone and wait for the right ti to implent the Black Hole Clan’s plan.
Therefore, Elder Xi Feng dared not slack off and, aside from checking the Spirit Vein Stone daily, was actively preparing for the Black Hole Clan’s grand plan, which included capturing Black Hole Clan’s defector Tian Qi. Eventually, Tian Qi defeated Elder Xi Feng’s two personal guards, and Elder Xi Feng had no choice but to settle for bringing back only Tian Qi’s blood…
“Bai Hu, has the ti ripened?”
Elder Xi Feng asked the woman next to him, noting that despite being a woman, her na was quite formidable.
And Bai Hu’s outfit matched her na—a form-fitting white dress that emphasized her figure while also highlighting her personality.
“Elder Xi Feng, the ti has indeed co, but Elder Dong Feng hasn’t returned yet. You have no authority to activate the Spirit Vein Stone!”
Even when facing Elder Xi Feng, one of the four elders of the Black Hole Clan, Bai Hu showed no respect, her words icy and sowhat disdainful toward Elder Xi Feng.
Elder Xi Feng was also respectful toward Bai Hu, as this woman was the most familiar with the construction of the Spirit Vein Stone, and activating it wouldn’t be possible without her expertise.
“Bai Hu, Elder Dong Feng is now in Europe, and before he left, he instructed Elder Nan Feng and . Elder Nan Feng was to kill the Black Hole Clan’s arch-enemy Ye Tian, while I was responsible for carrying out the Black Hole Clan’s grand plan! Although we are not Elder Dong Feng, at critical monts, we can substitute his powers and responsibilities!”
Elder Xi Feng said painstakingly, but this woman Bai Hu still showed no deference to Elder Xi Feng.
“The Black Hole Clan’s grand plan has been brewing for a thousand years, and Elder Dong Feng’s contributions are unparalleled. No one can overstep their bounds! Even if the other elders are like Elder Dong Feng, it’s the sa!”
Bai Hu remained arrogant, this woman extrely loyal to Elder Dong Feng, but showed not the slightest respect for Elder Xi Feng…
Just as Elder Xi Feng and Bai Hu were at an impasse, soone walked into the room.
This person was none other than Elder Nan Feng, one of the four elders of the Black Hole Clan!
Although his expression remained vigorous, Elder Nan Feng seed sowhat weary, which was apparent from his appearance…
Seeing Elder Nan Feng in this state, Elder Xi Feng couldn’t help but mock, “Isn’t this Elder Nan Feng? Weren’t you hunting down Ye Tian? What happened, has Ye Tian been killed by you? Or did you encounter fierce resistance, unable to kill Ye Tian, which is why you’ve returned?”
In the face of Elder Xi Feng’s mockery, Elder Nan Feng did not respond but instead looked at Bai Hu.
“Bai Hu, Ye Tian has already led nurous martial artists into Southern City. To prevent any mishap, I order the ‘Annihilation Squad’ to mobilize!”
Elder Nan Feng directly commanded, but Bai Hu appeared unusually hesitant.
“But the Annihilation Squad is directly under Elder Dong Feng, and now that Elder Dong Feng is not here, there’s no reason for the Annihilation Squad to mobilize…”
Elder Nan Feng’s expression imdiately darkened, saying, “Bai Hu, the Annihilation Squad exists not just to protect Elder Dong Feng alone but for the benefit of the entire Black Hole Clan. At this mont, hundreds of martial artists have invaded Southern City, which is vital to the Black Hole Clan’s future and must not suffer any error.
Therefore, the Annihilation Squad must mobilize, and you, as one of its commanders, must also act! If the entire Southern City lapses into an uncontrollable situation due to your inaction, then who will bear the consequences?”
“This…”
Bai Hu could only lower her head.
Elder Nan Feng is different from Elder Xi Feng. Elder Xi Feng isn’t very old, so Bai Hu’s lack of respect for him isn’t really an issue. However, Elder Nan Feng is the second most senior mber of the Black Hole Clan after Elder Dong Feng. No matter how stubborn Bai Hu is, she cannot defy Elder Nan Feng’s orders.
Therefore, Bai Hu could only say helplessly, “Elder Nan Feng, you’re right. At this crucial mont, it’s ti for the Annihilation Squad to take action! I, along with the other three commanders, will lead the Annihilation Squad to take imdiate action!”
“I’ve also already given orders to the other three commanders. Next, I hope you all give it your all and don’t underestimate the enemy, because they are quite formidable, understood?”
Elder Nan Feng continued, and Bai Hu imdiately nodded.
“As you command!”
With that, Bai Hu left the room.
Elder Xi Feng cast a puzzled glance at Elder Nan Feng and said, “Elder Nan Feng, what’s your ga? Why mobilize the Annihilation Squad? Are you, the second best of the Black Hole Clan, really unable to deal with Ye Tian on your own, needing to use others?”
“What’s my ga? Elder Xi Feng, how shaless can you be to ask that question?”
Elder Nan Feng let out a cold laugh, then faced Elder Xi Feng directly.
At this mont, in the room holding the Spirit Vein Stone, no one else was present. The two elders could converse freely without worrying about a third person eavesdropping.
“Elder Xi Feng, didn’t you have your own little sches? You clearly could have acted personally to capture that woman Tian Qi, but only took her blood and created a clone. Weren’t you also planning to stir up so trouble before Elder Dong Feng’s return?”
“Hehehe~~~~ We’re in the sa boat!”
Facing Elder Nan Feng’s questioning, Elder Xi Feng showed no remorse, as Elder Nan Feng was of the sa ilk.
“Elder Nan Feng, aren’t you the sa? You could have killed Ye Tian, but ultimately didn’t make the move and instead hurried back with that woman Dong i! That ans you too have desires for power!”
Elder Nan Feng cast a aningful glance at Elder Xi Feng, not denying his words, and directly said, “Elder Xi Feng, you and I have been suppressed by Elder Dong Feng within the Black Hole Clan, never getting our chance to shine. Now, we finally have an opportunity, and it would be such a sha to miss it!”
“Naturally!” Elder Xi Feng also nodded heavily, “Once the Black Hole Clan’s plan succeeds, one of us will beco ‘god’. But if Elder Dong Feng is present, it’s likely that no one else could beco god but him.
Since Elder Dong Feng entrusted the entire plan to before going to Europe, I can use this plan to seek benefits for myself. Why should Elder Dong Feng be the only one to beco god? Why can’t it be you or ?”
“So you sent people to track Elder Dong Feng’s movents in Europe?”
Elder Nan Feng asked again, and Elder Xi Feng’s face imdiately revealed an icy smile, saying, “Of course, know your enemy and know yourself, and you can fight a hundred battles with no danger of defeat. My informants have already told that there seem to be so issues with Elder Dong Feng, making it impossible for him to return to South City imdiately.
The original plan calculated that he could solve the Vatican issue in a short ti and rush back. Upon returning, he could implent the Black Hole Clan’s great plan. In that case, all my prior preparations would have been for his benefit?
I’m no fool. Since that guy cannot return imdiately, I’ve secretly increased the strength of the Power of Death injected into the Spirit Vein Stone. Now, this stone will mature even earlier. By then, not even that stubborn woman Bai Hu will be able to stop the plan’s implentation!”
“However, I don’t think you’ll have your way!” Elder Nan Feng shook his head. “That woman is devoted to Elder Dong Feng. Even in the face of urgency, she won’t sacrifice Elder Dong Feng’s interests for the Black Hole Clan’s plan, so she likely won’t comply, right?”
“In that case, what should we do?” Elder Xi Feng appeared sowhat anxious.
“Hehehe~~~~ In that case, it’s ti for this to co into play!”
Elder Nan Feng let out a cold laugh, then took out an item—a golden key.
“Elder Nan Feng, what is this?”
Elder Xi Feng asked curiously, and Elder Nan Feng did not hide it, directly saying, “This is another switch to activate the Spirit Vein Stone. That woman Bai Hu believes the ‘switch’ is always on her, so she is fearless, but she doesn’t know there’s another way to activate the Spirit Vein Stone!”
“That’s fantastic!”
Elder Xi Feng appeared overjoyed.
