Chapter 171 - Grand Victory at Yuanhua

Chapter 171: Chapter 162: Grand Victory at YuanhuaJust like that, Yuanghua welcomed peace, and the war finally ended on this land, Nono, in extreme reluctance, chose to comply and spared the four families.

Meanwhile, the details of the Yuanghua plane’s battle spread through various channels to the four corners of the realm, after all, the battle achievements of the newly appointed queen heiress fighting against the Four Great Families alone were not something the average person could accomplish.

In the messages sent out, all references to Lai Li were concealed, as the honor of commanding the troops was attributed to Nono instead, while another individual who drew attention was Lu Hong, who sacrificed himself at East Look Mountain.

"Big brother is dead?" Lock Fan stood in the midst of the desert, the scroll in his hand slipping out and drifting away in the breeze towards the distance.

Those students from the academy who left with Nono did not join the Yuanghua battle, they were just a bunch of First Transition kids who would have only served as cannon fodder, hence Lock Fan led them to join a mercenary group to start their path to growth.

Lock Fan, seasoned by trials, had already shed his former naivety, reaching the strength of Second Transition Level 3.

He turned around and walked over to his resting companions, saying in a deep voice, "Big brother has sacrificed himself!"

At these words, the chatty crowd suddenly fell into silence.

Someone spoke up, "How did Big Brother Lu die?"

"He was killed by the Gold Family." Lock Fan said somberly, "Yuanghua has indeed won a great victory, but the Gold Family has not been destroyed, Lei Shan intervened to save them. Tell me, what should we do!"

"Kill! Wipe out the Gold Family, kill Lei Shan, and avenge Big Brother!"

Lock Fan’s roar echoed with the unanimous response of everyone.

"Good, very good. To avenge Big Brother we must become stronger, much stronger!" Lock Fan looked towards the distant sands and muttered, "Of course, only bloodshed and war can make us grow faster!"

The scene shifted elsewhere, Luo Bolun, elated with the news from Yuanghua, rushed towards his sister Luo Yi’s office, "Sis, Yuanghua’s victory."

"We won?" Luo Yi suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, eagerly taking in the battle reports, "Next time steady..."

Before she could finish the word "steady," Luo Yi felt a wave of dizziness wash over her, Lu Hong had been sacrificed?!

"Sister, sister, it’s good news, why aren’t you happy?"

Slap!

Luo Yi struck Luo Bolun hard across the face and then stormed out in anger.

In the gloomy headquarters of the Hell Sect, Lando burned the report his subordinate had brought into ashes, picked up a glass of strong liquor, drank it in one gulp, and murmured to himself.

"My little man, how could you just die like that?"

At the same time, Danni received the same news, her face remained calm in the face of Lu Hong’s sacrifice, showing no sign of emotion, yet the palm hidden in her sleeve was pinch-marked with blood.

Inside Adventurer Town, Caesar’s face darkened as he stared at the returning Piao Miao and Nightingale.

"Dismissed, I’ve heard enough." After listening to both of their reports, Caesar ultimately decided not to say anything.

"Then, your subordinate will take his leave." Piao Miao was the first to leave, while Nightingale did not rise, evidently having something more to say to Caesar.

However, before Nightingale could speak, Caesar said, "You need not explain, I’m already aware. From now on, keep a close watch on Piao Miao. If you discover anything, there’s no need to report back. Make the decision on your own."

"As you command!" With Caesar’s approval, Nightingale left with satisfaction.

"Father..." Lai Li pushed the door open and approached Caesar, speaking softly, "You don’t trust Piao Miao?"

"I only believe in facts." After speaking, Caesar took out his Sovereign Command, the four glimmering points representing the Black Pupil Commands constantly flickered, one of which corresponded to the token Caesar had given to Lu Hong, and as the Sovereign Command indicated, that token was now located within Piao Miao’s territory.
