Chapter 701: 701
Everyone in the Underworld was still dizzy, not because Ling Beiming had killed Sam, but because of those bizarre scenes where two figures turned into streams of green smoke and vanished under the sunlight.
Freedom Island.
"What was that? Could it be the legendary...." Beth's mind was still fixed on the scene of the two Blood Clan members disappearing.
Brown's face was filled with shock as he stammered, "Exactly, they are the Blood Clan, no doubt about it!"
"This Sam actually had connections with the Blood Clan, this cave seems to be a base for the Blood Clan. I can't imagine what Ling Beiming has encountered here!"
Beth's eyes widened in disbelief that even the Blood Clan had appeared!
Moses Manor.
"What... was that?" Qiao Yuchan stared at the scene that had just happened on the video, astonished.
Ivan frowned at the two robes left behind on the grass on the screen.
"I didn't expect Sam to be connected with the Blood Clan, no wonder this guy is so mysteriously hard to deal with!" Ivan muttered to himself.
"Blood Clan?" Qiao Yuchan heard this name for the first time, her expression puzzled.
Ais Duchy Prison.
"Lawson, what was that just now?" Gina looked at the screen in shock.
Lawson's eyes were also wide open, his breathing quickened, "Damn it, Sam, this bastard, actually involved with the Blood Clan?
No wonder he was so arrogant, turns out he had this backing?"
At the same time, a heavy feeling sank in Lawson's heart. With this, wouldn't Beiming have made an enemy of the Blood Clan?
Thinking this, a surge of tension and guilt rose in Lawson's heart.
"Damn it, it's my fault Beiming is involved, damn it!" Lawson's face turned pale, murmuring sheepishly.
Underworld Forum.
"Fuck, it's actually the Blood Clan?" Moments later, someone couldn't help but exclaim in shock.
The most mysterious Er Hei of the Underworld, due to the constraints of a vow, had not appeared before the public in over a hundred years.
It was utterly unexpected, due to Sam's involvement, that Ling Beiming had forced him out.
"If you ask me, Ling Beiming truly lives up to the name of War Emperor. Such a fierce man.
He actually made the Blood Clan flee in disarray, it's a pity that we couldn't see what happened in the cave earlier, such a pity!" Another person posted a sighing emoji.
In the English Castle, Brook looked at the screen before him, his expression not very good either.
"Grandfather, we've been exposed!" Lydia took a deep breath and said softly.
"Let it be, if we're exposed, it's just one base. Anyway, all the bodies were taken away by Ling Beiming, others couldn't investigate even if they wanted to!" Brook's face regained its previous calm.
"Lydia, any good ideas about the Holy Artifact on him?"
"This..." Lydia frowned, pondering in her mind.
"Grandfather, should I try to make contact?"
Brook quickly shook his head, "No, that's too dangerous. We need to think this through carefully. I'll come up with a good plan later, nothing we can do in the meantime!"
Now Brook had calmed down, carefully thinking things over, keeping the item in Ling Beiming's hands seemed to be the safest option for the time being. Suddenly, he wasn't in such a hurry anymore.
Lydia furrowed her brow in thought, saying nothing more, but her eyes flickered with an inexplicable light.
Meanwhile, in Bess Mountain.
Ling Fan checked on Sam, confirming that the guy was indeed dead, and only then did he relax.
Thinking back to his promise to give him a complete funeral, he immediately cremated him with Exotic Fire.
"Safe travels, I guess your soul is already scattered by now, no need for liberation!" Ling Fan quipped to himself.
Then, turning to look at the skies around him, he knew that the whole world was watching this place.
"Listen up, all of you, anyone who dares to mess with me, Ling Beiming, will end up like Sam!" Ling Fan snorted coldly.
After that, he shot Exotic Fire once more, diving into the ground, disappearing from the sight of the world.
Everyone took a sharp intake of breath, Ling Beiming today was even more majestic than before!
The live video's screen flickered, returning to regular movie playback.
Elder Leisure People from around the world, as well as various national and super-organizational forces, silently withdrew their gazes, their thoughts varied, some joyful and some worried.
The liveliest of all, however, was the Underworld's online forum, where a heated discussion erupted about the earth-shattering events that had just transpired!
"Damn, who said the era of the Two Kings and One Emperor is over? As long as Ling Beiming exists, this legend will forever be sung!" someone exclaimed excitedly.
"Haha, two years have passed, and Ling Beiming is still the same Ling Beiming. So what about the Demon King? What about the Doomsday Army? What about the Blood Clan?
This battle, the name of War Emperor, is known throughout the cosmos. I doubt anyone will dare challenge him again!" another person added with a big laugh emoticon.
...
In the suburbs of Laima Principality, at a manor where Ed resided.
"Beiming's prestige surpasses even that of the old days!" Ed spoke with a light smile.
Kuiler closed his laptop and logged out of the Underworld website.
"Let's go for a stroll, I always said there was no need to worry about Beiming. There are hardly any threats to him in this world!" Kuiler, pushing the wheelchair, suggested with a smile.
Just at that moment, Kuiler's expression faintly changed, and the steps he was taking to push Ed outside suddenly stopped.
"Kuiler, what happened?" Ed, sensing Kuiler's change, immediately asked.
"We have guests!" Kuiler responded flatly.
A moment ago, he had received a communication from the security room that someone had come in.
Outside the manor gates.
A dozen black luxury cars drove slowly from a distance, the center one being a special, black, extended off-road vehicle that looked imposing and powerful.
Its pitch-black windows concealed who was inside—the vehicle could withstand even small missiles.
Inside the vehicle.
"Let everyone know, after we get the item, leave no one behind!" A man in a light blue suit with sunglasses instructed the beautiful woman beside him indifferently.
"Orders are already given!" the woman, also wearing sunglasses, nodded in response.
"Hey, stop, vehicles aren't allowed inside!" Immediately, a Manor Patrolman approached and gestured for the convoy to stop.
"Screech~"
The sound of brakes as the lead vehicle stopped.
"Bang!"
Someone suddenly got out of the vehicle and shot the patrolman in the head, instantly killing him.
Seeing this, others in the manor were shocked and started dropping their brooms and buckets, frantically fleeing towards the backyard.
"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!"
"Bang, bang~"
Subsequently, over twenty people swiftly got out of the vehicles. About ten of them chased after the fleeing cleaners and servants, shooting and killing each with precision.
Meanwhile, twelve others were clad in black armor, looking like armored robots, and their bodies shimmered with a metallic luster as they tightly surrounded the middle off-road vehicle, vigilantly watching the surroundings.
At that moment, the vehicle door opened, and a woman dressed in a tight leather outfit and wearing sunglasses stepped out.
"See if there's anyone left, don't miss a single one!" the woman instantly instructed through her earpiece.
The dozens of people scattered around and began searching.
In an old wooden cabin in the backyard.
"Kuiler, is this my enemy?" Ed asked coolly.
"Unclear, but don't worry, I'll handle it!" Kuiler reassured him.
"Bang, bang~"
The two heard several gunshots from the front yard, and then the entire manor fell into silence again.
"Ed, someone's coming. Stay calm, and I'll handle it!" Kuiler instructed.
"Hmm, be careful!" Ed responded.
"We haven't checked these last few rooms yet, go check them!" Immediately, someone directed from outside the door.
