Chapter 1559: Chapter 892: Meteor Island Plans to Escape
Li Ting heard these words and finally understood why this Lightning Dharma King struck so lethally.
It turned out that the other party had some concerns.
She immediately laughed and said, “Mr. Hong was joking, Yangshan is different from Jin Shirong, he wouldn’t do crazy things over a woman.”
Mr. Hong replied with a smile and shook his head, saying, “You’re not a man, you don’t understand men.”
“Since ancient times, heroes have struggled to overcome the lure of beauty. In the past, King You of Zhou lit the beacons for his beloved Bao Si.”
“No one can guarantee this sort of thing.”
“What if Mr. Liang happens to like Li Ruohan’s type?”
“So it’s better to kill them, to end all trouble.”
Mr. Hong continued, “Moreover, Li Ruohan is fully devoted to Jin Shirong, perhaps keeping her is a curse. I hope Director Li will help explain this later.”
Li Ting heard this and couldn’t help but silently exclaim in her heart, truly the old ones are more experienced.
Mr. Hong’s approach was indeed flawless.
She nodded in agreement: “Don’t worry, Mr. Liang is not that kind of person.”
Mr. Hong smiled and nodded, then walked forward to search among the flesh of the corpse before soon pulling out a shell-like object.
“Found it!” he chuckled.
Li Ting’s eyes flashed and she asked, “Is this her storage equipment?”
Mr. Hong nodded: “That’s right, this is a Green Mussel, and it was called this name even before the apocalypse.”
“After the apocalypse, these Green Mussels also underwent mutant evolution, becoming rare spatial mutation beasts.”
“The amazing thing is, even if these shells die, as long as spatial runes remain on them, an alternate space can be accessed.”
“Due to their ability, one Green Mussel is hard to find on the market, and generally as soon as they appear, people buy them at a high price.”
“Nowadays, only the experts with a Genetic Reorganization Level can afford to use such space equipment.”
“Take it.”
Mr. Hong handed the Green Mussel to Li Ting.
Li Ting was slightly taken aback, then raised her eyebrows and asked: “For me?”
“Haha, Green Mussels can not only store inanimate objects, but living things can also be stored. If I’m not mistaken, Li Ruohan should have imprisoned Liu Qinghong inside.”
Li Ting heard this and quickly accepted the Green Mussel.
To be honest, given her status and position, she would have used something like this Green Mussel.
However, unfortunately, when Jin Shirong imprisoned her, the news that Green Mussels could be used as space equipment had not yet spread.
At that time, most people were still using the stomach of Autumn Sky Fish as space equipment.
Li Ting held the Green Mussel, channeling her superpower into it.
In the next moment, the Green Mussel slightly opened, immediately allowing her Spiritual Power to perceive a space of about ninety square meters.
In this space, a large amount of supplies and food were stored, and a short, plump woman was also inside.
“Liu Qinghong!”
Li Ting was instantly delighted, her heart moved, and Liu Qinghong’s figure suddenly appeared in the hall.
“Li Ting!”
Suddenly emerging from the space, Liu Qinghong hadn’t reacted yet, and upon seeing the familiar face, she was greatly surprised.
Li Ting immediately laughed: “Qinghong, didn’t expect we would meet again.”
Liu Qinghong’s face was full of joy, just as she was about to ask what was going on, she suddenly thought of something: “Where’s that bitch Li Ruohan?”
Li Ting heard this, pointed to the exploded flesh on the ground, and said: “Already dead.”
“Ah?”
Liu Qinghong was taken aback again, then she glanced around, seeing Mr. Hong, and was visibly surprised once more.
Instinctively, she showed a wary expression.
Because Mr. Hong was also one of the directors of Sprout, she had never understood this old guy.
She didn’t know what attitude he would have towards her.
Mr. Hong gave a slight smile and said: “Director Liu, it’s been a long time.”
“Didn’t expect we’d meet again like this.”
Liu Qinghong frowned, looking at Mr. Hong, then at the corpse on the ground, followed by Li Ting.
She couldn’t help scratching her head, slightly unable to comprehend the current situation.
Li Ting laughed: “Alright, stop thinking, I’ve now joined Yangshan, and I count as one of Yangshan.”
“Mr. Liang ordered me to persuade Sprout’s Floating Island to surrender and to see why you haven’t returned.”
“Li Ruohan was wholeheartedly following Jin Shirong, Mr. Hong understood the bigger picture, and has already resolved her.”
Liu Qinghong was shocked again, suddenly seeming to understand something, and immediately asked: “Did Mr. Liang counterattack Sprout? Did Jin Shirong lose?”
Her agility of thought soon understood the reasoning, and she asked promptly.
Li Ting chuckled: “It’s not losing; it’s dying.”
“Ah?”
Liu Qinghong was astonished again; from being freed to now, she had been shocked at least four times!
Yet this news was the most shocking to her.
“Jin Shirong died? Is that real? Did Mr. Liang kill him?”
Li Ting nodded and said: “It should be, we just received the news.”
“We need to wait until Mr. Liang returns to see what’s really going on.”
“Mr. Hong, why don’t we go visit Mr. Liang now?”
Hong Lei thought it over and said, “Shall we just go? Or maybe it’d be better if we prepare a gift before visiting?”
Being experienced and savvy, Hong Lei was indeed shrewd in his actions.
Li Ting asked, “A gift? What are you planning to send?”
Director Liu also looked at this Lightning King with surprise.
She understood at this moment that the news of Jin Shirong’s death must have frightened these budding elders.
They were trying to find ways to make amends.
Hong Lei said, “My men say the floating islands below Ji’an City are planning to escape; perhaps we can seize a few of them, and visit Mr. Liang with these three floating islands. Wouldn’t that be more appropriate?”
Li Ting couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow. This old guy really knew how to handle things.
She quickly thought, she hadn’t been part of Yangshan for long and hadn’t been favored by Liang Yuan.
If she could accompany Hong Lei to deliver the three floating islands, it would definitely be a major accomplishment.
She immediately smiled and said, “Mr. Hong is indeed considerate. How about this, the three of us together, and this achievement will be ours collectively. What do you think?”
“Hahaha, I had intended to invite Director Li and Director Liu anyway.”
“Though those floating islands are a bit lowly, there are a few experts. Going solo, we might not be able to negotiate successfully. Having you two to assist is certainly the best.”
Hong Lei laughed, counting it as agreement.
As for Director Liu, she was even more agreeable.
As long as it’s beneficial to Liang Yuan, she’d be the first to support it.
Hence, the three almost immediately agreed!
Hong Lei then began assigning men, and the three boarded the ship of Thunder Punishment Island, quickly crossing the clouds, heading to seek the three floating islands of Ji’an City.
…
North of Ji’an City, a floating island enshrouded in flowing light was breaking through the waves, constantly heading northwest.
This was Meteor Island, where Wu Meng and others were located!
On Meteor Island, Wu Meng and a group of Earth Mother Sect members gathered inside the great hall.
Shi Lianhai said solemnly, “Is the route cleared? We must not directly run into the heart of the Embryo. That would be wolves entering the forest.”
Wu Meng closed his eyes, maneuvering Meteor Island’s heart core, guiding it swiftly away from Ji’an City.
Simultaneously, he said, “I’m heading northwest, with floodwaters submerging cities. Chi Mountain isn’t that big in the entire Yu Province; impossible to hit it.”
Guan Maocai responded, “That’s good then.”
Wu Meng continued, “But have you thought it through? Do you really want to head for the Northern Divine Country?”
“Let me tell you, folks there can be quite quirky, not really good people.”
Guan Maocai and Shi Lianhai couldn’t help but laugh when they heard.
“Island Lord Wu Meng, you’ve joined our Earth Mother Sect; don’t you know we’re experts at those sect games?”
“Don’t worry, once we’re in the Divine Country, regardless of what they believe, we just play along and blend in without getting brainwashed.”
“Then we can simply itch our way into something, resurrecting our Earth Mother Sect.”
The two talked about future plans, smiling along.
Indeed, their old profession was brainwashing people into their sect; instead of resisting the Divine Country, they were quite curious.
They even wanted to join and see opportunities for resurgence.
Wu Meng glanced at them and said casually, “Have you really thought it through? For the Divine Country to grow as large as the Embryo or Kerry Technology, there must be something extraordinary.”
“Chances are it differs vastly from your previous methods.”
Shi Lianhai laughed heartily, “Island Lord Wu Meng, let me tell you, these days, for any sect that fosters loyal followers, it’s all about brainwashing.”
“The fact that the Divine Country expanded so mightily suggests they have even stronger brainwashing abilities.”
Guan Maocai remarked, “Maybe the ‘god’ of that Divine Country’s greatest skill is brainwashing others.”
Wu Meng, upon hearing this, chose not to argue further.
He knew very well it wasn’t about stupidity, but their goals steering their thoughts towards optimism.
They wanted to develop in the Divine Country, thus speaking optimistically.
In truth, if the ‘god’ of the Divine Country merely enchanted people, how could it stand against the Embryo and Kerry Technology?
James from Kerry Technology, releasing his ‘Silence’ superpower, would render that ‘god’ incapable of brainwashing, subject to beatings only.
Simply wouldn’t happen.
Furthermore, Wu Meng indeed wanted out of Ji’an City.
Yangshan was growing stronger, and staying meant encountering former acquaintances.
He didn’t want to meet them in such a condition.
Liang Yuan started as just an outsider in Yangshan.
Though formidable, he couldn’t best Wu Meng back then.
Last meeting, Liang had grown formidable enough for the Three Great Sects to fear him.
Yet, Wu Meng had become a mere flunky amidst the crowd.
That situation wasn’t what Wu Meng desired.
He wished to see Liang Yuan again on equal terms.
He no longer wished to look up to him.
