"If it's just a small matter, it's making a mountain out of a molehill." There were many voices of agreement in the hall. Hebre was originally one of the respected giants, but he had lost face in the Patriarch Assembly, causing his prestige to plummet. Even some ordinary Patriarchs dared to casually question him.
Hebre's heart was cold, but his expression was normal. Most of the Patriarchs in the Holy City had already sided with Wang Zhanfeng and Ma Dong. It had become normal for them to mock him, but he did not know what kind of expressions these people would have after today.
He looked around and finally fixed his gaze on Ma Dong. "Everyone, Wang Zhong has fallen, and the Earth has lost a major pillar. Is this considered a major matter?"
The originally noisy conference hall instantly quietened down. These people were all too clear about what Wang Zhong meant to the Earth. He was everyone's and even the entire Earth's greatest backer in the Star Alliance. Now, the Earth's smooth sailing was all thanks to Wang Zhong's contributions. Wang Zhong had fallen?
Wang Zhanfeng and Shirley instantly stood up from their seats. "Elder Hebre, we don't care if you speak carelessly, but you're using Wang Zhong to create rumors and create trouble in this situation. Do you really think that we have good tempers and will not do anything to you?"
"Create rumors and create trouble?" Hebre laughed coldly. "If the Star Alliance sends out a notice, the first person to inform will be Minister Ma. Furthermore, I heard that Minister Ma is on good terms with the Illusion Race and has set up an intelligence network in the Star Alliance through the Illusion Race. Minister Ma, don't tell me that you don't know about this? "
"My intelligence network will not accept such fake news from hearsay." Ma Dong's heart had rapidly sunk, but he maintained a calm expression on his face.
"What about this?"
Pa.
Hebre threw a stack of photocopied documents onto the conference table. When he saw the seal of the Star Alliance on it, Ma Dong knew what was written on it even without looking at the content. This was the so-called 'punishment' list that he had just received from the Heavenly Gates to the Earth!
How was this possible?!
Hebre was on Earth and did not have any means of contacting the Star Alliance. How could he know such secret information? Furthermore, from the time when he convened the Patriarch Meeting, he had obtained this information even earlier than Ma Dong! This was simply unbelievable. It was impossible for Hebre to have this kind of ability. There was probably another mastermind behind this.
This unforeseen event had happened too suddenly, leaving Ma Dong completely unprepared. For a moment, he was left speechless.
Just by looking at Ma Dong's expression, everyone knew that the credibility of this document was extremely high. At this moment, everyone took a copy of it, and after reading a few lines, their voices continuously exploded within the conference hall.
"Wang — Wang Zhong died in the underground world?! He was killed by a Golden Core Elder of the Ninth Shade Sect?! "
"The Star Alliance removed the assessment sequence for Earth as a level-5 civilization and ordered all the higher-ups not to leave Earth?!"
"What the hell is going on?!"
The conference hall immediately became chaotic. This news was too shocking and difficult to accept. However, the stamp from the Star Alliance was real, and there was no possibility of it being fake.
"Ma Dong?!" Wang Zhanfeng was somewhat unable to restrain himself as he looked over with an inquiring gaze.
"Ma Dong! You have always been in charge of contacting the Star Alliance. You must give everyone an explanation! "
"Is this true? How could you hide such important news from us?! "
Ma Dong's expression was slightly gloomy. Hebre's attack had come too quickly, and he was unable to respond at all. After all, he had to publicly announce that the Star Alliance had grounded the higher-ups of the Earth. If not, he would violate the laws of the Star Alliance and accelerate the death of the Earth. Initially, he had planned to find another excuse to explain this matter, but now that even the order document had been placed in front of everyone, who would believe him if he found another excuse?
"Then, is this true?" Just by looking at Ma Dong's expression, everyone already understood.
Shirley and Wang Zhanfeng's faces were slightly pale. Regardless of whether it was the pain of losing their son or the grim situation that the Earth was currently facing, the two of them felt extremely confused.
Ma Dong was the first to raise his spirits. Now, he could only react accordingly. Hebre had come prepared today and would definitely not give up so easily.
"… I just received this news." Wang Zhanfeng and Shirley did not say anything. Faced with the doubts of many Elders, Ma Dong calmly said, "However, we are still in the stage of doubt. Everyone here is a senior who has seen the world. If we panic now, we will only be a joke to others!"
The noise in the conference hall instantly became much quieter. Beside him, Hebre actually seconded the suggestion. "Ma Dong is right. Our top priority now should be to deal with this matter and protect the Earth."
Everyone did not expect that Hebre, who had always been at odds with Ma Dong, would not make use of this matter to make a fuss. Instead, he seconded the suggestion. They were slightly dumbfounded.
"Let's not talk about Wang Zhong's identity on Earth first." Hebre spoke in a clear voice. "Everything has a cause. Wang Zhong had just died, and the Earth was faced with this crisis. The reason was that Wang Zhong had offended too many people in the Heavenly Gates! Now, it is reasonable for others to kick him when he is down. "
"Elder Hebre!" Ma Dong coldly said, "Now, Wang Zhong's life and death are still uncertain. Furthermore, even if he is really dead, with his contributions to the Earth, you cannot slander him here!"
Many buzzing noises instantly sounded in the conference hall. Everyone was very clear about the position of the Earth in the Star Alliance. Back then, Wang Zhong had risen to power. Although it was a fact that he had offended too many people in the Star Alliance, the Earth had its current situation because of Wang Zhong's power. All the dukes present knew what was going on. Back then, they had all supported Wang Zhong and had received many benefits from Wang Zhong's powerful rise. Now, Wang Zhong's bones had not even turned cold. These Sacred Teachers could not turn around and say that Wang Zhong was wrong.
"Elder Hebre, you've gone too far!"
"If we talk about Wang Zhong's merits and demerits now, aren't we ungrateful villains?" A Sacred Teacher angrily rebuked. "Hebre, if this is all you have to say, this meeting can be dismissed now!"
"Everyone, you've misunderstood." Hebre smiled. "I have no intention of slandering Wang Zhong. I'm just stating a fact to let everyone know the current position of the Earth."
If he put it that way, it was still acceptable. Everyone patiently listened to him.
"Now, the Earth has too many enemies. Without Wang Zhong and the support of the Heavenly Gates, do you think that we can continue to stay in the Star Alliance with our strength?"
"Then, do you mean that we should leave the Star Alliance? Hmph, don't forget the recent incident on the Ocean Empire Planet. Do you want to repeat the mistakes of the past? "
"That's not it either." Hebre laughed. "As long as we turn our enemies into friends, all problems will be easily solved!"
Everyone was slightly dumbfounded. "You make it sound so simple. How can your enemies be friends with you?!"
"Ma Dong controls all the intelligence systems on the Earth. How do you think I found out about Wang Zhong's death before him?"
Hebre took out something from his pocket and respectfully placed it on the table. It was a badge of the Blood Demon Race.
Ma Dong's pupils suddenly contracted, and the expressions of Wang Zhanfeng and the others in front also changed. Hebre said in a clear voice, "Elder Gai Yi from the Blood Demon Race has sent someone to negotiate with me. Elder Gai Yi has promised that as long as the Earth surrenders to the Blood Demon Race and becomes a subsidiary civilization of the Blood Demon Race, the Earth will be safe!"
The conference hall was quiet, and everyone was shocked. Everyone was very clear about the grudge between Wang Zhong and the Blood Demon Race. This time, even many people in the Heavenly Gates suspected that the Blood Demon Race was responsible for Wang Zhong's' death '. Miehill actually dared to maintain contact with the Blood Demon Race at this time?!
This news was too explosive. Everyone was speechless for a moment, and their brains could not even process what was going on.
"Back then, Wang Zhong could find the Heavenly Shell Race to support him. Now, we can also find the Blood Demon Race to support us! This is how we turn our enemies into friends! " Hebre's voice sounded loudly in the conference hall. "I know what everyone is thinking. Do you think that I'm a traitor? Do you think that I've betrayed the Earth? That's not the case. I'm very sure that Wang Zhong's death has nothing to do with the Blood Demon Race.
"Personally, I respect Wang Zhong very much. He went to the Land alone as a Foundational Stage and was able to create such a magnificent world. Even Elder Gai Yi from the Blood Demon Race admires him very much! Everyone knows that the Blood Demon Race has always followed the Fire Demon Race's lead. After the battle at the Heavenly Gates Life and Death Arena, the tense relationship between the Fire Demon Race and Wang Zhong has eased significantly. On the other hand, the Heavenly Shell Race is an ally, but they were unable to protect Wang Zhong first. Now, they see the Earth as a burden.
The punishment from the Star Alliance is the most obvious example. Without Wang Zhong, the Heavenly Shell Race is not willing to drag the Earth, a burden from a low-leveled civilization. They are anxious to get rid of us. If the Fire Demon Race had not spoken up for the Earth during the high-level meeting, do you think that the punishment this time would be so simple? "
He acted as if he respected Wang Zhong, causing the Sacred Teachers present to feel much more at ease. At that moment, someone said, "Elder Hebre, you are taking things for granted. None of us personally witnessed the meeting of the higher-ups in the Star Alliance. This is because the Blood Demon envoy said that they spoke up for us. Who can prove this? Furthermore, since we are useless to the Heavenly Shell Race, how can we enter the eyes of the Blood Demon Race? On what basis should the Blood Demon Race look up to us? Elder Hebre, don't be unaware that you have been used by others! "
"Heh heh. This matter is very easy to analyze. The Blood Demon Race is a faction of the Fire Demon Race. Relying on the Blood Demon Race is equivalent to relying on the Fire Demon Race."
"Furthermore, everyone knows about the factional struggle between the Fire Demon Race and the Heavenly Shell Race. Although the overall strength of the Earth is not good, in the eyes of others, no matter what, we are still a faction of the Heavenly Shell Race. If the Fire Demon Race tries to rope us in at this time, it will definitely deal a blow to the reputation of the Heavenly Shell Race. This is our role to the Fire Demon Race, and it is also the reason why they let the Blood Demon Race rope us in. Furthermore, this effect has a time limit. If we don't make use of this now, when the Heavenly Shell Race convicts us and gets rid of us, we will be completely useless to the Blood Demon Race and the Fire Demon Race! "
"Our alliance with the Heavenly Shell Race is only because of Wang Zhong. Now that Wang Zhong is dead, this alliance will immediately disappear." Hebre spoke with fervor and assurance, and his response was as smooth as flowing water. It was obvious that he already had a plan in mind. "Some opportunities will not appear again if we miss them. This is the last life-saving straw for the Earth. If we don't grab hold of it, it will be too late for regrets in the future!"
"They are just making use of us." Many elders frowned and said, "When we rely on them and deal a blow to the reputation of the Heavenly Shell Race, the Blood Demon Race will similarly abandon us. How is this different from the current situation? Furthermore, is the Heavenly Shell Race easy to provoke? We will just be struggling at death's door for a few more days. On the contrary, we will give others a reason to say that the Earth civilization is not trustworthy. "
"Struggling at death's door is also living!" Hebre said sternly. "Even though we have to offend the Heavenly Shell Race, the Heavenly Shell Race is not as ruthless as the Blood Demon Race and the Fire Demon Race. We have to grab hold of even the slightest chance of survival!"
This time, no one in the conference hall raised any objections. It was obvious that many elders had been tempted.
To be honest, everyone present was in a high position and was experienced in politics. They would never believe in favors. There were no eternal friends or eternal enemies. This sentence was not only useful on the Earth, but it was also a norm in the entire Star Alliance. Furthermore, the Earth was on the verge of collapse. The judgment of the Star Alliance had already arrived, and they had reached a critical moment of life and death. With such a life-saving straw, regardless of whether it was thorny or not, how could they not grab hold of it? Hebre was right. No matter how bad the situation was, it would not be worse than it was now.
Silence was tacit agreement. Hebre's words had obviously moved many elders.
Wang Zhanfeng's expression was rather ugly. The Blood Demon Race and the Fire Demon Race were the biggest suspects behind Wang Zhong's death. Logically and emotionally, it was absolutely impossible for him to accept defecting to the Blood Demon Race. However, he had just heard the news of Wang Zhong's death. Hebre had information about the Fire Demon Race, but Wang Zhanfeng had not had time to report Ma Dong's information to him. He did not even understand the situation. How could he accurately judge and persuade this group of elders to take the huge risk to resist these two races and live and die together with the Earth?
Beside him, Shirley's mind had already become a little erratic because of the news of Wang Zhong's death. Wang Zhanfeng knew that she was the one who doted on Wang Zhong the most. It was already very difficult for Shirley to persevere and not faint after hearing the news of Wang Zhong's death. He could not expect her to come up with any ideas for him. At this time, the only person Wang Zhanfeng could rely on was Ma Dong. Wang Zhanfeng frequently glanced at Ma Dong. This young man had long since become one of Wang Zhanfeng and Xue Li's right-hand men in the Board of Elders, and was also their chief strategist. However, when he was needed to speak, he actually remained silent.
Ma Dong had been watching coldly from the sidelines throughout the entire process. If this was any other time, he would definitely argue with Hebre. With his, Wang Zhanfeng's, and Shirley's prestige in the Patriarch Society, Hebre would not be able to cause any trouble. However, the situation today was slightly different.
The news of Wang Zhong's death was a huge blow to the many elders in the Patriarch Society. The higher-ups of the Star Alliance issued an order and exerted pressure on them. Even if Ma Dong used his butt to think, he would know what kind of choice these old fellows, who had always been afraid of death, would make.
Reason? There had never been anything that was truly reasonable in this world. Only the strong were worthy of being reasonable. The voices in the conference hall had the upper hand, but that did not mean anything. He believed that Hebre would definitely understand this. Since he dared to make such a ruckus in the conference hall today, he definitely had the powerful support of the Blood Demon Race. Perhaps the members of the Blood Demon Race had already arrived on Earth and were even in the vicinity of the conference hall. That was the greatest threat today!
Thus, he did not waste his energy and words to reason with Hebre. That was not the main point at all. He had to place all his energy into the final decisive stage.
"Then, Elder Hebre." Ma Dong finally spoke. "The Blood Demon Race wouldn't just use a badge to represent their sincerity, right?"
"Minister Ma, you really predict things like a god." Hebre laughed. Now, everything was going according to his script. Even Ma Dong, the troublemaker, seemed to have finally submitted. This was very normal. Wang Zhong was the backer of Ma Dong and even the entire Patriarch Society. Now, his backer had fallen. He was merely a Heavenly Soul from the Earth who had relied on medicine. Naturally, he could not be arrogant anymore.
Wang Zhong had once contributed greatly to the alliance with the Heavenly Shell Race and had become a god-like existence on Earth. Now, it was time for him to have a taste of being a 'god'. "In order to express their sincerity, the Blood Demon Race has sent Sir Leon as an emissary. At this moment, this lord is waiting for our reply at my home. He is one of the captains of the Blood Demon Guards and a Solid Core expert! He is also the most powerful expert that Earth has ever received! Back then, when Wang Zhong sought refuge with the Heavenly Shell Race, the Heavenly Shell Race did not send an official emissary, right? Furthermore, he is a Solid Core! From this, we can see the importance and sincerity that the Blood Demon Race places on us! Sir Leon has already prepared the contract documents. He is only waiting for everyone to agree to their conditions. Then, he will immediately come over to sign the contract with the Patriarch Society and turn the Earth into a subsidiary civilization of the Blood Demon Race. This is the status of a subsidiary civilization of a level-7 civilization. It is much stronger than the previous quasi-level-5 civilization. Everyone, the opportunity is right in front of you! "
The conference hall quietened down again. Those who wanted to support this naturally nodded their heads silently. Joining the Blood Demon Race was equivalent to joining the Fire Demon Race. Back then, the Earth had claimed to be joining the Heavenly Shell Race faction, but the Heavenly Shell Race had indeed not sent an official emissary to make contact with the Earth. At that time, everyone on Earth was immersed in joy and felt that a high-leveled civilization like the Heavenly Shell Race would definitely have many things to do every day. Thus, they did not care. But now, when they compared the attitudes of the Blood Demon Race and the Fire Demon Race, the difference in sincerity was clear.
However, the people in the conference hall who maintained their clear-headed were still shocked and fearful.
Solid Core? It was just an emissary. Why did they need a Solid Core expert to personally make a trip?
The current Earth was no longer as ignorant as before. They had a better understanding of the many rules of the Star Alliance and the strength of Void Cores and Solid Cores …
This was not an emissary, but a nuclear weapon that was here to supervise or threaten the entire Earth! Everyone present did not doubt that if the negotiations broke down today, this Solid Core expert would immediately destroy the entire Patriarch Society without hesitation! To him, this would be a matter that could happen in the blink of an eye.
Otherwise, why would an official emissary not have a document? Why did he not first deal with the higher-ups of the Earth and instead meet with Hebre alone?
This was a betrayal. Hebre had sold the entire Earth!
Wang Zhan Feng immediately propped himself up from his seat, and his eyes brightened. However, before he could speak, he saw Ma Dong secretly giving him a look.
"Then, please invite Sir Lyon over," Ma Dong said. "How can such an important matter be settled without personally discussing it with the person in question?"
"Ha ha ha! Minister Ma has considered the matter thoroughly. Naturally, this is how it should be! "Hebre laughed out loud.
I will let you be happy for a while today. Once the negotiations with the Blood Demon Race are completed and the documents are signed. Regardless of whether it is Ma Dong, Wang Zhan Feng, Xue Li, or the Patriarch Society, they will no longer have any value to me. When that time comes, all of them will die! From now on, he would be the absolute ruler of Earth, second only to one and above all!
Naturally, Hebre's subordinates went to his house to invite the Solid Core from the Blood Demon Race.
The conference hall became quiet for a while. Everyone was waiting, and the buzzing sounds did not stop. Some were discussing this matter, while others were discussing the future development direction of the Earth … Xue Li's complexion looked slightly better than before, but she was still pale. She closed her eyes and rested. Beside her, Wang Zhan Feng and Ma Dong accompanied her. They seemed to have said something to her, and it was probably about the fact that Wang Zhong's death had not been confirmed yet.
Hebre had been observing all this while. When he sent his subordinates out, he saw that Ma Dong seemed to have given his subordinates some instructions, but he did not care.
Ma Dong definitely had other plans. Hebre could also see the opposition from Wang Zhan Feng and some die-hard Wang Family members, but so what? Under the deterrence of a Solid Core from the Blood Demon Race, what other tricks could these people come up with? In this world, strength determined everything. Other than Wang Zhong, the entire Earth did not have any power to resist a Solid Core. They could only obediently wait to be captured and be manipulated by others! As soon as Sir Leon arrives, everything will be settled!
Tick tock, tick tock. Time ticked by. Approximately ten minutes later, Ma Dong suddenly sensed something. With a smile, he said to everyone in the conference hall, "Everyone, Lord Leon seems to have arrived."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was an explosion in the base outside the conference hall. Closely after, a violent wave of energy surged violently.
Boom!
The entire conference hall and even the entire base trembled. The surrounding walls cracked, and the ceiling could not withstand the violent tremors. It directly collapsed and came crashing down.
After all, many of the elders in the conference hall were Sacred Teachers. Even Ma Dong and a few other weaklings were at least Heavenly Soul experts. Other than the fact that the building had collapsed too suddenly and caused them to be covered in dust, there was no threat at all.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh ~ ~
Figures flew up from the dust-covered ruins, and their field of vision instantly widened. In the base, a massive Blood Demon had revealed his true form. The horns on his head were ferocious and terrifying. That terrifying and violent aura alone was enough to make the entire base tremble! Just looking at it from afar was enough to make these Sacred Teachers tremble all over, and their scalps turned numb.
Other than Ma Dong, everyone's expression changed rapidly. Didn't they say that they were here to negotiate? Why did they attack directly?
"What is that?!" Finally, someone with sharp eyes realized that the situation was somewhat different from what they had imagined.
Meanwhile, Hebre's mouth was wide open.
When the Blood Demon revealed his true form, he was so powerful that all the Sacred Teachers trembled in fear. However, his entire body was tied up by transparent threads. He was suppressed and bound! Even though he struggled angrily, he could not break free at all!
Furthermore, there were a total of six powerful figures standing around him. These powerful beings were all Earthlings, and most of them were women from Earth! Every single one of them emitted a spiritual power that made these Sacred Teachers fearful.
Void Cores. There were a total of six Void Cores!
Not only that, but every single one of them held a silver artefact in their hands. The silver threads came from these artefacts, and all the Sacred Teachers present recognized all eight of them.
Lola, Sharmie, Gui Xinying, Oli, Papada, and the former mermaid, Felix!
To be honest, many Sacred Teachers recognized these six people because of their relationship with Wang Zhong and Ma Dong. Among the many genius children on Earth, these six people were definitely not considered dazzling. In fact, they had not even reached the Heavenly Soul Stage in the past two years and did not have the qualifications to board the train to the Land!
But now, there were six Void Cores?! What the hell?! Where did they come from?!
All the Elders were dumbfounded. This situation had changed too quickly, and it was simply too much for their eyes to take in. They could not understand it.
"Earthlings!" Leon from the Blood Demon race roared furiously. He was a dignified Solid Core, but he was being suppressed by a few Void Cores! Of course, this was not because of the strength of the Void Cores, but because of the artifacts in their hands! If he was not wrong, those were the Six Light God-Binding Chains from the Heavenly Objects Pavilion! They were just a few level-8 artifacts, and Void Core experts could control them. However, when they were combined, they were comparable to a level-6 artifact in terms of power. It was not a problem for them to forcefully suppress a Solid Core, but he was completely unable to break free. Furthermore, the silver threads were continuously absorbing his spiritual power. If this continued, he would collapse very quickly, and he might even be sucked dry!
He had truly failed miserably! He had thought that this trip to Earth was just a relaxing trip to go through the motions. Who knew that a mere level-4 civilization would actually hide such a thing! Furthermore, there were actually six Void Cores hidden in the Earth's base camp?! Weren't there only Wang Zhong, the Netherworld King, and Aiolos, who was in the Arena, on Earth? What kind of place was this? What the hell was this!
"I came because of the friendship between the Blood Demon Race and the Earth. Are you going to become enemies with the Blood Demon Race?!" He roared furiously, wanting to use the name of the Blood Demon Race to intimidate the Earthlings.
"Friendship?" Ma Dong laughed contemptuously. "You're preparing to devour us, right? Everyone knows the intentions of the Blood Demon Race. You have not given up on destroying the Earth, yet you still dare to talk about friendship? "
"Hebre!!" Leon from the Blood Demon race roared furiously. "You dare to plot against me?!"
Hebre was already dumbfounded. How would he have known that Ma Dong actually had such power? How would he have known that other than Wang Zhong, Muzi, and Aiolos, there were actually a total of six Void Cores on Earth? How would he have known that these six Void Cores could actually subdue a powerful Solid Core from the Blood Demon Race?! Strength was respected. He had asked Leon to come over to forcefully intimidate the Patriarch Society, but he had actually been countered! Furthermore, Ma Dong actually dared to openly and directly attack the Blood Demon Race. Even if he used his butt to think, he would know what he was planning.
"I, I …" His mind was in a mess. Before he could finish his sentence, a thin and small figure suddenly appeared in front of him. Closely after, a green light flashed, bringing with it a powerful and cold spiritual power.
Hebre felt his pupils suddenly contract, and his entire head floated high into the air. He flipped a few times in the air, and then his vision closed. Before all his consciousness disappeared, he faintly heard Wang Zhanfeng's voice explode in the field.
"Anyone who dares to ally with the Blood Demon Race will die!"
It was only at this moment that the green light quietly stood beside Ma Dong and revealed itself in front of everyone.
Emily! The female assassin from the Assassins who had already become famous for her assassinations before entering the Holy City!
It was too easy, too easy!
Hebre was able to sit in the Patriarch Society and was once known as the War God of his generation. In his era, he was also a ruthless character who had conquered everywhere in the Fifth Dimension. However, at this moment, he did not even have the slightest consciousness to resist and was easily killed.
Many Sacred Teachers and Patriarchs, especially those who had spoken up for Hebre and had wavered in their stand with the Blood Demon Race, felt a chill run down their spines.
Meanwhile, the expression of Leon from the Blood Demon Race, who was being suppressed in the field, changed rapidly. If he felt humiliated when he was suppressed by the six Void Cores just now, then at this moment, he felt the threat of death.
Anyone who dared to ally with the Blood Demon Race would die? What kind of stance was this?!
