The white-haired old man beside him was the only remaining Heavenly Soul expert from the Zhao Family on Earth, Zhao Ba. From the bottom of his heart, he looked down on these loose Heavenly Souls who came from poor backgrounds. However, he had no choice but to borrow their power. There was no choice. The various great families were observing. Even the Gui Family, who had always been on the same side as the Zhao Family, had asked them for help.
Furthermore, it was not safe for him to deal with a Semi-Heavenly Soul like Wang Zhong by himself. At the very least, he would consume a large amount of his remaining life force. It was not worth it.
He knew that the other party was raising the price, but at that moment, he simply laughed. "No matter how troublesome it is, he is just a Heroic Soul. If we were not afraid that this child would be cunning and escape, why would we need to ask Brother Zhamu to help us? Now, with the two of us here, this child will not even have the chance to struggle. Brother Zhamu, you don't have to be modest about how troublesome it is. "
The bearded strong man smiled but did not say anything. He was waiting for the other party to state a price. Loose Cultivators like him only wanted to obtain benefits. If not, why would he help? The Empire and the Federation only had transactions and no cooperation.
"Brother Zhamu, don't worry." As Zhao Ba spoke, he shot a look at Zhao Wuxin, who was standing beside him with his hands behind his back. "Once you get rid of this child, you will double the things that I promised you."
The moment he finished speaking, Zhao Wuxin, who was beside him, respectfully presented an exquisite jade-colored box with both hands.
"This is just a small gift. It's nothing much. Just treat it as a greeting gift to Senior Zhamu." Zhao Wuxin was full of smiles. "After this is done, just as Third Granduncle said, the rewards will be doubled. Naturally, I will send them to Senior Zhamu."
Zhamu took the box and opened it slightly. Pure dimensional energy immediately surged out, causing his eyes to light up.
He was an independent practitioner from the Tutankhamun Empire. To these independent Heavenly Souls from the Empire, the energy crystals in the Holy Land were their favorite things. These things contained extremely pure energy that they could absorb during their cultivation, increase their realm, and slow down their aging process. They were indispensable items when they aged after advancing to the Heavenly Soul Stage.
However, it was a pity that they could not find it on Earth. Furthermore, even in the Fifth Dimension, almost all the energy crystal mines that humans could come into contact with were under the control of the Holy City. Even if the souls of the loose Heavenly Souls from the Empire transmigrated to the Fifth Dimension, it would be very difficult for them to obtain energy crystals. They could only help the Holy Land do some things for them at an extremely low price that did not match the price they had to pay. If not, they could only rob them. However, they would offend the Holy Land, and they would basically die.
It would take Zha Muzha at least half a year of hard work to get such a big box. Now, it was just a greeting gift for the Zhao Clan to do them a small favor.
"Ha ha, Brother Zhao, you are straightforward. As expected, the 10 Great Families in the Federation are rich and overbearing." The hesitation on Zha Muzha's face disappeared. Who cared what kind of role Wang Zhong was in the Holy City? He was only helping the Zhao Clan. Even if the sky collapsed, the Zhao Clan would be there to support him. Furthermore, he would not foolishly become the main force. He only needed to help another Heavenly Soul expert to suppress a mere Heroic Soul and earn a large amount of Soul Crystals. Where else could he find such a good deal? "Don't worry. He's just a mere Heroic Soul. Leave it to me. I will definitely help Brother Zhao kill him in three days!"
… …
Wang Zhong had already switched to a new Skylink and received a message from Si Jiali. The rewards from the Holy Land had been delivered. The Sacred Teacher had personally given the order. The Wanderlust Team would be fine with the dimensional humans taking care of them. As for Solomon's matter, there would be a way to deal with it when they returned. At this level, these were all small matters. Strength was the only criterion.
After understanding this, Wang Zhong finally understood why no one from the 10 Great Families appeared on Skylink to stand up for the Zhao Clan after he made the announcement. To the 10 Great Families, there was no doubt that the deterrence of a Sacred Teacher was rather massive. Wang Zhong could be considered to have borrowed the might of a Sacred Teacher for once.
Since he was making an example out of Wang Zhong, and since the various Great Families were watching, Wang Zhong could only be described with one word — high-profile!
This time, not only did he want to take revenge for Ma Dong, Barran, and the rest, but more importantly, he wanted the Assassin Family to have a firm foothold in public. He wanted the entire Federation to acknowledge his strength, identity, and status!
Thus, he had to be ruthless! This time, he wanted to beat the people from the 10 Great Families into pain and fear! Otherwise, even if he relied on his status as a Sacred Teacher and his privileges to help the Assassin Family stand up in public, once he returned to the Holy City, there would immediately be more people looking for trouble with the Assassin Family.
Thus, he did not choose to fly over at all. He hoped that the Zhao Family would be well-prepared in five days so that he could capture all of them in one fell swoop. Wang Zhong was very calm as he sat on the railroad tracks and looked at the scenery outside the window. After he went to the Holy Land, he was afraid that there would be fewer and fewer times like this in the future.
This time, he saw many old friends in Tianjing and realized that everyone had changed a lot. Time and space could really take away a lot of things. It was very nostalgic and warm, but he could not stop moving forward. The only thing he could do was to make Barran and the rest have a better life.
Wang Zhong was calm and collected, but the entire Federation was in an uproar. His every move was under surveillance, and he was simply unscrupulous and condescending.
That was Heavenly Dragon City, that was the Zhao Family! The Zhao Family, one of the 10 Great Families in the Federation, was once known as the Holy Land of Weapons and the King of Cold Weapons in the Federation! Now, a young man in his early twenties was using such a method to take the head of their family head!
How was this arrogance? This was heart-wrenching!
At the same time, two unexpected and mysterious passengers had already quietly boarded the train at a stop midway on the railroad tracks. The reason why the train was delayed was to wait for these two people. How could there be no witnesses at such a moment?
Ma Dong and Emily!
After not seeing him for a year, Ma Dong had changed a lot. The flirtatious vibe was gone, replaced by a calm man. He had a shallow beard and was wearing a rather low-key black suit. The collar of his shirt was slightly unbuttoned, but he did not give off the feeling that he was frivolous and casual. No one knew when his white hair had quietly appeared, but it added a sense of maturity to him. The inadvertent light in his eyes made people's hearts palpitate.
Emily, on the other hand, had not changed much. Of course, this was only on the surface. Her family had suffered a huge change, and all her dreams had collapsed. She had walked further and further on the path of assassination, and she only believed in hope to survive.
When the three of them met again, it was as if time had frozen. Any words were superfluous, and they just hugged each other tightly. It was not easy to have people in this world who understood you. It was not easy for Ma Dong and Emily, but it was not easy for Wang Zhong either. He had fought his way out of the 10 Great Families' encirclement and entered the Holy Land. Then, he walked step by step to where he was now. It was not an exaggeration to say that he had narrowly escaped death. It was just that he was stronger, so strong that fate bowed to him.
This section of the carriage had already been reserved by Wang Zhong. As the three of them sat in the spacious carriage, a rare burst of laughter could be heard. Everyone talked about the most interesting and happiest things they had experienced. It was as though the past few days weren't a life of escape, but a vacation. This was definitely the happiest time they had spent in this dark year. It didn't seem like they were going to take revenge at all.
Unlike Emily, who still had a strong desire to take revenge, Ma Dong had truly understood after experiencing so much. Frankly speaking, the annihilation of the Zhao Family was no longer just for revenge. The dead were already gone, and the word 'revenge' would only bring about a heavy burden to people. This was for the sake of allowing the living to raise their heads and continue living.
"I really didn't expect Grai to be one of Solomon's people. He really hid it too deeply." Emily also sighed a little. Ma Dong and Wang Zhong had the deepest understanding of this matter. With Milami and Grai, the Empire's reach was really far.
However, Wang Zhong felt that Grai's situation was still different from Milami's. Milami chose to escape when faced with pressure, but Grai would not. This guy just had too high expectations of himself, and no one was perfect.
"Wang Zhong, don't blame Grai. It must be very difficult for him too." Ma Dong did not say that he could see through people's hearts, but he would no longer ask others to do things for him. Grai could remind Scarlet at a critical moment, which meant that he had already made a choice, but he left in the end because he could not overcome the barrier in his heart.
"Actually … Grai is the softest among us and always asks the highest standards of himself. Why would I blame him? Without him, we wouldn't be where we are today." Wang Zhong smiled. The word "tolerance" was not a new word. If they really wanted to talk about it, they were the ones who owed Grai.
Ma Dong nodded. "Milami once told me that the formation of dandelions was a trick of the Empire. When they found talented children, they would think of ways to turn them into orphans and give them a target to hate so that they could easily control them. Although the Federation rejected the Blood Race back then, to be honest, it was just rejection. The Federation could tolerate the existence of the dragon bloodline and even the even more ferocious werewolf bloodline. Why would they specifically not let go of the Blood Race? If you say that it is difficult to control, with the Federation's strength, it is just a joke. If you say that it is difficult to accept, you have been to the Holy Land, and there are even more strange races. What is the Blood Race? As long as nothing happens, the Federation actually tacitly accepts the existence of these alien races. They even cooperate with each other quite a bit. After all, the Federation has always wanted to make a breakthrough in biotechnology, and there are special organizations studying the bloodline and formation of these alien races. "
"Are you saying that there is an inside story?"
"I have specially looked up information about this matter. Back then, there was a well-known city in the Federation where the Blood Race gathered. The diet of the Blood Race there was no different from that of humans. They only occasionally consumed the blood of animals to maintain the energy of their bloodline. For this reason, they were the main force in exterminating mutated creatures in that city. Thus, the Federation turned a blind eye to it. But more than ten years ago, dozens of cases of bloodsucking suddenly occurred in that city. The methods were rather cruel, and they did not conceal their actions at all. It was as if they deliberately left behind evidence of the Blood Race killing people. With the Federation's character, you can imagine that they don't care about the truth. They just need a reason."
"Look into it. This is very important to Grai," said Wang Zhong. The truth was a person's belief. It was the saddest thing to not even know who the enemy was.
"I have already sent people to investigate further and try to find evidence from the Empire," said Ma Dong. "It's just that it has been a long time, and it is very difficult to investigate. But I think there will definitely be some clues left behind. Also … "
"Okay, okay, Ma Dong Dong, it is not easy to see Brother Wang Zhong. Don't steal the show. Let's talk about Brother Wang Zhong's matters in the Holy Land and that Holy Battle. That is more interesting." Seeing Wang Zhong, Emily seemed to have been relieved of a heavy burden and finally found someone to rely on. She was very relaxed.
Ma Dong did not know whether to laugh or cry. "You are really my sister! Why don't you want to know more about me? "
"What is there to know about you? Aren't you just hiding in that lousy bar and pretending to be an old man?" Emily rolled her eyes at him and hugged Wang Zhong's arm tightly. She was abnormally warm and at ease. "Brother Wang Zhong, what do the Octopus people look like? Are there any beauties? "
"Octopus people …" Wang Zhong smiled. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly heard clanking sounds coming from the armored train. It slowed down and slowly came to a stop.
The scenery outside the window froze. The vast wilderness wasn't the designated train station. Ma Dong looked out of the window and saw a large group of the Federation's railway guards in front of the train tracks. There were also workers responsible for the maintenance of the tracks. They were currently busy working on a section of the tracks several kilometers away.
That section of the tracks was obviously broken. A large section of the tracks in the middle was tilted up high. Not far from the tracks, there was a small pile of mutated beast corpses. Of course, there were also human corpses.
"Recently, there have been more and more mutated beasts, and they are getting more and more out of control." Ma Dong retracted his head. In fact, along the way, he could see that there were more guards and garrison camps near the armored train tracks than before.
Recently, the mutation of the creatures on Earth had become more serious, and the degree of radiation pollution had also become more serious. The rate of mutation of creatures had increased significantly, and level-6 mutated creatures were frequently found near Tianjing. It was important to know that in the past 100 cities of the Federation, even level-5 mutated creatures rarely appeared. Although this level of mutation could not threaten human cities for the time being, it was a huge threat to the armored train tracks in the wilderness. If one checked the Skylink, they would know that in just this month, the No. 6 train track near Tianjing had been destroyed by mutated beasts three times, and several garrison camps had been massacred.
"The experts from the Federation have repeatedly said on the Skylink that this is an isolated phenomenon and that there is no need to panic, but I have a feeling that things are not that simple. Several major military bases have frequently sent out large-scale operations to eliminate mutated beasts in the past few months, but recently, such large-scale operations have become less and less frequent. It is as if the military has lost control of the ground, making people feel that the Dark Era is about to descend again … Some people even say that the situation this time may be more serious than during the Dark Era."
Furthermore, the Holy City Army had transferred a large number of elite troops from the Federation in the Fifth Dimension. It was said that they had recently transferred nearly 200,000 troops from the 10 Great Families. These cannon soldiers in the Holy Battle were the absolute elites of the elites on Earth. They were the Federation's standing force to control the mutation of the entire Earth and eliminate those mutated beasts. The sudden disappearance of such a large number of troops, coupled with the slight changes in the Earth's environment, was equivalent to giving mutated beasts a natural environment to grow wildly. It was not strange for the situation to go out of control.
