Chapter 2195 - 2196: I Have My Own Arrangements (Second Update)
Chapter 2195: Chapter 2196: I Have My Own Arrangements (Second Update)
Zhang Pengtian looked shocked, staring blankly at Xue An, "How did you...?"
"How do I know things so clearly, right?" Xue An chuckled lightly, "Actually, from the beginning, they weren’t targeting you, or even the Shadow Turtle Race, but rather the Death Dark Domain!"
Upon hearing this, Yue Qinghuan trembled all over, then immediately understood.
"You mean...?"
"That’s right, this matter itself is connected to the affairs of the Multiverse. It seems those guys haven’t given up even after the copper gate was destroyed, trying to invade the Multiverse again through the Death Dark Domain!" Xue An said softly.
Yue Qinghuan’s expression became very grim, "If that’s the case, why didn’t they strike directly, but instead went in such a roundabout way?"
"I don’t know, but there must be a reason, like not wanting to draw attention?"
Yue Qinghuan wore a thoughtful expression.
As for the Shadow Turtle Emperor and Zhang Pengtian, they didn’t comprehend what Xue An and Yue Qinghuan were saying.
The invasion of the Multiverse, the destruction of the copper gate.
Listening to this made Zhang Pengtian utterly confused.
On the contrary, the Shadow Turtle Emperor seemed to vaguely realize something, which made his expression increasingly unpleasant.
Because the Death Dark Domain has always been the territory of the Shadow Turtle Race, no matter how strong others are, they have never dared to intervene, not because they couldn’t, but because it wasn’t worth it.
After all, a piece of the Void Domain, aside from nurturing some Treasure Beads, doesn’t hold much value that would entice great powers.
But if things are as Xue An said, then the nature of the matter changes.
Even the entire Shadow Turtle Race could face annihilation.
How could he not be nervous because of this?
At this moment, Xue An raised his eyes to Zhang Pengtian and said coldly, "If that’s the case, then where did the clan members of the Shadow Turtle Race you secretly captured go?"
Zhang Pengtian shuddered all over, his complexion instantly turning pale.
What he had said just now was basically true, but he intentionally narrated it from his own perspective to highlight how he was also wronged, to garner sympathy and save his life.
But when Xue An asked about this, all his previous efforts became futile.
"Yeah, where did my clan members go?" shouted the Shadow Turtle Emperor.
"At... at that time, I designed a plan to capture seven members of the Shadow Turtle Race, but one of them was too fierce, resisted and was accidentally killed, becoming refined into a Blood Pearl. The rest... were taken away by people from Linglong City!"
Upon hearing this, the Shadow Turtle Emperor was livid with anger, "You actually sold my people to Linglong City? I’ll tear you to pieces!"
With that, he charged forward.
Zhang Pengtian was terrified out of his wits, immediately begging for mercy, "Turtle Emperor, please spare me, I was framed by others too! I’m begging you, let me go this time!"
But with reddened eyes, the Shadow Turtle Emperor couldn’t listen to these words.
Helplessly, Zhang Pengtian could only pin his last hope on Xue An, crying out.
"Sir, please speak a good word for me, I will forever remember your great kindness!"
In his view, this young man in white was new to the scene, although extremely powerful, should be quite approachable.
But this time, he miscalculated. Xue An showed a cold smile.
"I believe all your words, but there’s definitely one thing you concealed—you’re not the innocent flower you claim to be! So..."
Xue An casually tossed Zhang Pengtian, like throwing trash, directly towards the Shadow Turtle Emperor.
"Ahhhhhh..." Zhang Pengtian screamed miserably mid-air, and when he landed in the Shadow Turtle Emperor’s hands, the Turtle Emperor squeezed hard.
Crack, crack, crack!
With a crushing sound of bones, Zhang Pengtian’s joints were instantly shattered.
The Shadow Turtle Emperor was obviously filled with extreme hate for this ungrateful scoundrel, so his strike was brutally lethal.
In excruciating pain, Zhang Pengtian knew he wouldn’t survive today, so he began to roar.
"Don’t rush... you’ve offended Linglong City, you will definitely die, I’m in the front..."
He wanted to say he would wait in front, but the enraged Shadow Turtle Emperor slapped his head apart, completely devouring his soul and brain matter.
This bloody scene made Yue Qinghuan’s brow furrow slightly, then he turned his head away.
Meanwhile, the blood-soaked Shadow Turtle Emperor approached the kneeling Zhang Jinju.
Zhang Jinju was already on the brink of madness.
He never thought things would turn in such a direction.
Originally, everything was going well; he was involved with a beautiful girl from the Bing Family, about to make his move, yet everything changed abruptly.
Now even his father is dead.
How could he not feel fear and despair?
So when he saw the Shadow Turtle Emperor stride towards him, Zhang Jinju screamed like a slaughtered chicken.
"Spare me, I knew nothing of these things...!"
Poof!
The screaming abruptly stopped, as the Shadow Turtle Emperor, losing patience, made him into a pulp with a single slap.
Thus, the former City Lord of Bead City, Zhang Pengtian, and his son perished.
The remaining guards trembled, then knelt on the ground, not daring to raise their heads.
If it were Xue An, he might have spared these people.
Unfortunately, today they encountered the murderously enraged Shadow Turtle Emperor.
Therefore, amidst screams, these guards were quickly slaughtered.
Once everything was done, the Shadow Turtle Emperor, drenched in blood, walked big strides towards Xue An and Yue Qinghuan.
Yue Qinghuan was slightly nervous and took a half step back.
But just then, the Shadow Turtle Emperor fell to his knees with a thud, sincerely saying.
"The Shadow Turtle Race thanks the strong from the Hua Clan and the Bing Family for this kindness!"
Saying this, he earnestly bowed, knocking his forehead to the ground thrice.
Yue Qinghuan felt somewhat uncomfortable, yet Xue An accepted it calmly.
Because this was his rightful due.
After the bow, Xue An said blandly, "Get up, the matter isn’t over yet!"
Only then did the Shadow Turtle Emperor stand up.
"Those clan members taken by Linglong City are likely still alive, so the urgent task is to go there and rescue them!"
The Shadow Turtle Emperor immediately nodded, "Good, let’s set out now!"
"We?" Xue An smiled and shook his head, "You misspoke; this time, it’ll be just us two operating, as for you, you’ll stay in Bead City to guard!"
"Why?" The Shadow Turtle Emperor’s eyes widened.
"Simply because Bead City is empty now. If you leave and someone sneaks in, what then?"
"But..." The Shadow Turtle Emperor was still somewhat reluctant.
"Why? Have you forgotten your earlier promise?" Xue An asked lightly.
The Shadow Turtle Emperor shivered, "Of course not!"
"That’s good, keeping Bead City protected is the most important task, otherwise if it falls, all previous efforts will be wasted!"
When saying this, a dazzling brilliance flashed in Xue An’s eyes, like stars, like diamonds, mesmerizing.
Yue Qinghuan, standing nearby, seemed captivated.
"Moreover, leaving you here to guard isn’t permanent; once your clan members are rescued, I have my arrangements!"
The Shadow Turtle Emperor finally lowered his head and replied solemnly, "Yes!"
