Chapter 486: Departure (I)

Chapter 486: Departure (I)

The three great organizations were a lost cause after Hong Yitang and He Yong joined the fray. Earthturner Sword, Hou Xiaochen, Kong Jie, Southern Fist, Yu Luocha, Golden Spear...

These martial masters known throughout the world were united as one today in killing the enemy. All of them had reached exceedingly high levels with their cultivation. They faced middle-of-the-pack Novas of their respective organizations. How were these supernaturals supposed to match them?

One of Kong Jie’s fists blasted a massive hole in the Parity King’s body. He stared at Kong Jie with reluctance, even in his final moments. “My sixteen hell masters have yet to return...”

“They're all dead!” Li Hao called out in the distance.

“......” The Parity King looked at the young man and closed his eyes, fully departing the world. They were all dead! That in itself was a comfort. They would’ve come back otherwise, which lessened the grievances and muttering in the Parity King’s heart.

“Strength comes from the self,” Kong Jie snorted. “So what if your sixteen hell masters had returned alive?”

He Yong killed the two remaining Yama powerhouses with one punch after the Parity King died. That marked the end of all of the powerhouses from the three great organizations. Qi Gang captured the Liu youngster and looked hesitantly at the crowd. “He’s from the Liu family of the Ministry of Finance...”

The Liu family oversaw the ministry. Although the youngster wasn’t the core of his generation, he was still of the nine ministries. The youngster’s face was pale; Hou Xiaochen flicked a glance at him.

“As I said before,” he responded calmly. “The nine ministries can join the Silver Moon delegation, but he decided to join the three great organizations... Therefore, kill him!”

Qi Gang’s heart jolted—were they really going to kill him? This wasn’t the three great organizations or a general from a neighboring province that they were talking about. This was one of the masters of the nine ministries, a member of the Lius!

“You and Hu Qingfeng take care of him!” Hou Xiaochen looked at him calmly, then at Hu Qingfeng playing dead off to the side. The latter turned as pale as a ghost. His injuries weren’t that severe, but it was too dangerous to fight a Nova. Thus, he pretended to be comatose when Li Hao and the others joined the battlefield, but now...

Hu Qingfeng swallowed hard when he read Hou Xiaochen’s aloof gaze. He quickly got up, no longer toppled over from his injuries. The Liu youngster that Qi Gang injured made a desperate plea and heaved for breath as he looked at Hou Xiaochen.

“You won’t have an easy time of things if I die! The three great organizations do not dare kill a direct descendant of the nine ministries—an agreement was made long ago! With everyone from the three great organizations being dead, the world will know that you’re behind this as soon as this expedition is over! Vissit novelbin(.)c.om for updates

“All of the debt will fall on your head!”

Hou Xiaochen was calm in the face of such threats. He remained looking quietly at Qi Gang and Hu Qingfeng. The latter grit his teeth and slammed his palm down on the young man!

Bam!

Gravely wounded to begin with, the youngster’s meridians and tendons snapped from the blow. Qi Gang’s blood ran cold, but he didn’t dare say anything. He set his jaw and grunted with a punch!

Bam!

The young man’s organs exploded, his eyes widened and he froze stiff. All of the Novas were dead now, except for Light Sword and Yuan Xingwu.

“What do you plan to do with Yuan Xingwu?” He grinned at Li Hao.

Yuan Xingwu looked on expressionlessly, his thoughts impossible to make out. Li Hao didn’t understand what he had in mind either, to be continuously standing here. The Solars under his command were slightly nervous and afraid. How could they not be, after watching so many die in front of them?

“Is Director Hou asking me?” Li Hao smiled.

“Yes,” Hou Xiaochen responded calmly. “You make the decision. If you think they should die, then they die. While they didn’t join the three great organizations, they sat idly by when the official authorities eliminated the evil supernatural organizations. That in itself is crime!”

Li Hao broke out in a grin and didn’t continue that train of thought. “Brother Second Mu, please give me a hand.”

Mu Lin was an exceedingly nondescript existence within the crowd. He was surprised by the sudden attention and asked, “With what?”

“Moving the bodies...” Li Hao pointed at the corpses. “Throw them into the city!”

It would be a waste to leave them outside. Far better to throw them into the city so that the ground could absorb life energy and awaken more of the city. There were so many Nova corpses!

As for mysterious power... To be honest, there wasn’t much of a point in mysterious power from killing others. It wasn’t worth expending energy on. One Nova was at most ten thousand cubes, but one mysterious power stone was one thousand cubes. Ten stones were the equivalent of one Nova, which was just a regular sum used for cultivation. Additionally, one merit could be traded for them!

Thus, fighting tooth and nail to kill a Nova, and a late Nova at that, would result in only one point worth of mysterious power. No wonder nearly no powerhouses of this level killed people for the sake of mysterious power. It wasn’t worth it!

Li Hao hadn’t seen much of the world before and was so poor that he wasn’t even aware of mysterious power stones. Killing others for power had been a natural course of action then, but now he could be more generous.

Mu Lin looked at Hou Xiaochen, who looked at the young man and then at the city. After he inclined his head, Mu Lin swiftly picked up bodies and threw them into the city. They swiftly began melting when they hit the outer city and were absorbed by the ground. This was a city that devoured people!

No matter how many people died, the ground would be renewed before long and clear without a trace.

Hou Xiaochen looked at the petrified Violet Moon on the ground, then at Li Hao and Manager Yu. “Little Yu, I leave her to you.”

Manager Yu glanced at Violet Moon; she responded with a look of pleading. Yu Luocha seemed to be good friends with her mother. She wanted to live!

Yu Luocha knew Hou Xiaochen’s thoughts, so she looked at Li Hao. “You make the call!”

“Me?” Li Hao repeated with surprise. Me again? How interesting.

Since Orange Moon wasn’t here, that meant she was still chasing his teacher. Orange Moon had been a martial master back in the day, one of the thirty-six in fact. Known as Black Spider, she was either a late or peak Nova. Green Moon was a late Nova, so Black Spider was possibly peak Nova or even stronger.

As one of the thirty-six, she wouldn’t be weak. Could his teacher evade Orange Moon’s pursuit?
