Chapter 655 - 627: Don't Dare to Go Up
Zuo Yunfei and Liang Sihai led their men as cannon fodder, Zhou Haotian sent his people second, and Dongfang Kun went last.
After the arrangements were made, Dongfang Kun glared at Chu Zhongtian and said, "You are responsible for the death of King of Chu, and you are responsible for the burning of Wolong Bay. I will not accept any excuses. When something happens on your turf, you must take responsibility."
"Take him away and execute him!"
At the word "execute," everyone was stunned. It had been so many years since Dongfang Kun had ordered an execution of an elder. An elder, just executed like that.
Several people, who had good relationships with Chu Zhongtian, pleaded for him.
"Gang Leader, please spare him this time; he has also contributed to Qinglong Gang's victories in the past, please excuse him!"
"Gang Leader, over these years, Chu Zhongtian has been loyal and diligent to you and to Qinglong Gang. Please spare him this once!"
"Even if there are no merits, he has had his hardships, please think it over, Gang Leader!"
...,....
Dongfang Kun's determination began to waver, and Chu Zhongtian, seizing the moment, crawled to Dongfang Kun's feet.
"Gang Leader, I beg you to spare me this time. I am willing to attack Lingyue Town together with Zhao Yunfei and Linang Sihai. In life, I am a man of Qinglong Gang, and in death, a ghost of Qinglong Gang."
Everyone pleaded, and it seemed, apart from a few, that Chu Zhongtian had a good relationship with these gang members.
Then, Dongfang Kun spoke, "Alright, as you said, follow Zuo Yunfei tomorrow in the attack, and redeem your faults. If you die, I will bury you with the honors of an elder; if you survive, I will demote your position to Hall Master. Do you have any objections?"
"No, thank you, Gang Leader, for sparing my life!"
Dongfang Kun bowed his head in gratitude.
"Alright, everyone get ready. Tomorrow morning, we attack Lingyue Town!"
...,....
Lingyue Town.
That evening, all the Celestial Generals who were sent for sabotage had returned, and apart from one minor injury, everyone else was unscathed.
Fairy Zixia, Lin Tian, and Duke Chu did not go down to rest but sat together, waiting for news.
"Report."
A spy walked in.
"Alliance Hierarch."
"I have found out that Qinglong Gang will attack Lingyue Town tomorrow morning. The leaders of the attack will be Zuo Yunfei and Liang Sihai and this time, even the Gang Leader of Qinglong himself is taking action."
Nobody was surprised to hear that the Gang Leader of Qinglong Gang was personally involved in the action.
Tomorrow would be a fierce battle.
Lin Tian asked, "The previous Alliance Hierarch mentioned Duan Sandao, who is in the Half-Step Fusion Realm. Where does he reside, and shouldn't we notify him?"
Fairy Zixia shook her head with a helpless expression, "These past few days, I've secretly sent people to
"I! Don't! Want! To!"
Following the twelve buses, a Hummer arrived, carrying four people—Zuo Yunfei, Liang Sihai, Chu Zhongtian, and Zhou Haotian.
Zuo Yunfei, Liang Sihai, and Chu Zhongtian were the commanders of this attack, whereas Zhou Haotian was there to supervise them and to see if there were any ambushes in Lingyue Town.
"Go quickly, it's just one man, take him down!" Zhou Haotian urged.
Zuo Yunfei, Liang Sihai, and Chu Zhongtian reluctantly moved to the center of the many assassins.
Zuo Yunfei shouted, "It's just him, kill him and our mission is complete, then we can go back and have large chunks of meat and big cups of drinks, not to mention a lot of money to be had. Brothers, kill!"
Himself shouting, the tone was insufficient. After he finished, an awkward incident happened; not a single person moved. They all stared at Zuo Yunfei, their expressions pleading, as if to say: Can we go back, or can someone else fight?
They all recognized Lin Tian and had seen Lin Tian's strength firsthand.
A few days ago, a thousand strong were beaten to a blood-soaked retreat by Lin Tian. Now, those of the Mirror Breaking and Half-Step Mirror Breaking Realm had been mostly killed by Lin Tian, leaving mostly those of the Beginning Mirror, Breaking Mirror, and even some merely a bit stronger than ordinary assassins.
These people going up against Lin Tian was akin to sending them to their deaths.
Lin Tian was only one man, but who dared to go up? It was clearly inviting death.
The crowd remained unmoved, and Zuo Yunfei urged them on.
"Come on, everyone together, we can overwhelm him with sheer numbers!"
The crowd still didn't move, as if to say: Zuo Yunfei, why don't you go first.
