Chapter 908: Chapter 908: When Disaster Strikes, Everyone Flies Their Own Way
The four patrol warriors looked at Ziyue as if she were a walking lottery ticket, almost drooling, and under such scrutiny, Ziyue felt somewhat uncomfortable. However, she forced herself to smile.
"Looking at you like this, did something happen on our planet, or is there some happy event you want to report to me?"
Of course, there’s nothing good happening.
But for an ordinary warrior, what could make them happier than hitting the jackpot?
The four warriors immediately welcomed Ziyue home, leading the way while recounting the recent events on the planet to her.
Under the leadership of Liang Hong and Roger, the planet has developed rapidly, and the overall strength of the planet’s warriors has significantly improved. However, it seems like the two leaders’ lives are nearing their end.
Their life aura is weakening, and they’ve even started selecting successors.
The patrol warriors’ words left Ziyue utterly confused.
She really couldn’t understand what Roger and Liang Hong were up to.
Although she hadn’t consumed many of the Immortal Grade Source Power Elixirs, she could clearly feel an enhancement in her Divine Power and understanding of the Power of the Primordial whenever she took them.
This Power of the Primordial, unlike enhancements from other Supreme Laws, not only boosts combat abilities but also extends life and preserves youth with each increase in understanding.
One might say those two are useless, but they are the planet’s second-in-command, once able to stand alongside Ziyue. Yet, despite receiving so many resources, their strength remains limited.
With these thoughts, Ziyue went along with the patrol warriors to Roger and Liang Hong’s location.
At the planet’s sanctum, the place of inheritance, Roger and Liang Hong were leaning on their canes, presiding over the selection ceremony of a successor.
"Is this the extent of your competence? With such capabilities, how will you take over our positions, lead the comrades forward, and assist Lord Ziyue?"
The selection process was simple.
On a high platform at the sanctum, the two held canes in one hand and had a hand behind their backs, releasing a powerful aura that forced the young candidates to kneel helplessly, unable to rise.
Their elderly eyes were full of disappointment.
Just as they were shaking their heads, ready to proceed with the next batch, they suddenly sensed a familiar presence.
Indeed, the two elders were the planet’s second-in-command, Roger and Liang Hong.
A look of joy appeared almost simultaneously on their faces, and the immense aura they had been emitting was immediately retracted as they focused on a particular direction.
Indeed, Ziyue had arrived.
Even though all three were of similar age, Roger and Liang Hong showed signs of old age, while Ziyue remained as youthful and beautiful as ever.
"Lord Ziyue, you’ve returned."
Having benefited from Ziyue before, they naturally treated her with utmost respect.
Calling her ’Lord’ was something they did willingly.
The young candidates who had come for the trials and selection immediately knelt when they heard Lord Ziyue’s name, performing a grand salutation to her.
Ziyue waved her hand, motioning for them to rise; she disliked such cumbersome rituals and instead directly faced Liang Hong and Roger.
"What are you two doing?"
Pretending to be pitiable was what these two did best.
They immediately began lamenting to Ziyue about not having received Source Power Elixirs for too long.
Under Lin Yi’s instructions, Ziyue let the situation unfold in its usual manner, and, as usual, she took out Source Power Elixirs.
Except this time, she brought out an especially large number, including those Source Power Elixirs given to Lin Yi by the Dragon Queen.
At the sight of nearly fifty Source Power Elixirs, Roger and Liang Hong’s eyes gleamed.
"Lord Ziyue, are these... are all these ours?"
Though they asked, their hands had already touched the Source Power Elixirs.
Their greedy faces elicited genuine disdain from the onlooking youths.
To ensure events proceeded as Lin Yi intended, Ziyue suppressed her emotions that were about to explode and handed the Source Power Elixirs to the two.
As Ziyue pondered the next course of events, two powerful auras appeared above her.
"Heh, Ziyue, daring indeed, selling out teammates and handling teammates’ resources privately. It’s good I was cautious, otherwise, wouldn’t you have taken all these Source Power Elixirs for yourself?"
The newcomers were Lin Yi and Xiyue.
Hovering in the sky, they emanated intimidating Divine Power. To the nearly powerless witnesses like Liang Hong and Roger, Lin Yi and Xiyue appeared as immensely powerful deities of the Upper Plane.
Though Lin Yi’s words were succinct, they highlighted the questionable origins of Ziyue’s Source Power Elixirs, suggesting possible betrayal regarding teammates—certainly a heavy accusation.
Having maneuvered through many challenges, Ziyue wasn’t lacking in intelligence. Although she couldn’t match Lin Yi fully, she understood what they intended.
"You must leave now, take the things, and flee the planet. Although I can’t match them, I can stall for time. Once you awaken your Divine Power, you will be able to protect our planet better."
With those words, Ziyue handed the fifty Source Power Elixirs to Roger and Liang Hong, then gathered Divine Power in her palm and launched it towards Lin Yi.
Roger and Liang Hong instinctively thought to flee, but before they could even move, Ziyue was already on the ground, blood trickling from her mouth.
Escape?
How could they possibly escape? If even Ziyue was taken down in one blow, how could these two old men flee?
Lin Yi’s terrifying power made crushing them a matter of moments—escape was not an option.
"Heh, trying to escape in this god’s presence, how could that be possible?"
With an Instant Teleportation, Lin Yi appeared right before Roger and Liang Hong.
"You two, do you want to try and escape?"
The two old fellows were so frightened that they trembled uncontrollably before Lin Yi, their legs betraying them as they knelt.
"Great lord, immortal, please spare us. We knew nothing of this matter, and we are not familiar with this woman Ziyue. We’ve always been law-abiding citizens, staying on the planet without ever leaving."
"Yes, immortal, these Source Power Elixirs are yours; we haven’t touched them. We’ll return them now, plea for your magnanimity, and spare us, immortal."
Ziyue truly hadn’t anticipated such shameless words from the old faces of Roger and Liang Hong.
However, the more shocking scene was yet to come.
