Chapter 272: Outbreak Of Events (Part 2)

After settling the invasion problem of the Death Clan, Yue Yao galloped back in the direction of Beiqi.

He was very satisfied with himself at the moment. The Sea King was willing to withdraw his troops, which at least meant that he was still rather prestigious.

After entering the boundary of Beiqi, he skimmed toward the Mansion of the Dead, ready to see whether his treasures had arrived or not.

However, when he reached the sky above Mansion of the Dead, he noticed an uproar underneath him. A large number of people were gathering and it looked like they were about to go to war.

Yue Yao’s heart tightened and he swiftly returned to the palace at the Mansion of the Dead.

Yue Yao’s appearance suddenly attracted the attention of all the leaders of Beiqi’s many forces.

Mad Tooth stepped forward and kneeled in front of Yue Yao.

“Your Majesty, our treasures have been robbed!”

Looking at the miserable Mad Tooth, Yue Yao’s heart skipped, “What? Robbed!?”

“Under the protection of all forces, especially the Player Clan, only I managed to escape and return. All the other escort members were annihilated. Your Majesty, you have to avenge them!” speaking that out loud, Mad Tooth couldn’t help but lower his head in reverence.

“Impossible… who did it? Are they looking for death!?” Yue Yao’s aura thickened while his face turned ferocious.

The treasures were his life savings. For them to be robbed now, Yue Yao could only feel anger rising up in his chest.

“Your Majesty, it was your brother Lord Huo Yao! He…”

Smack!

Before Mad Tooth could finish, Yue Yao already gave the ground a strike.

“Think very carefully before you say your next words!”

Yue Yao said slowly while staring fiercely at Mad Tooth.

Although Huo Yao was not the closest to him among all his brothers, they were still brothers. He wouldn’t believe that Huo Yao would do such a thing.

“Your Majesty, I swear with my life. It was indeed the Fire Warrior Army under Lord Huo Yao!”

“Swear with your life? Then, you shall die!” Yue Yao’s eyes were filled with only rage. He lifted his hand and was about to hit again.

“Your Majesty, don’t be rash. Let him finish talking first!” the Rock Ghost King and the others hurried forward to persuade him.

After taking a deep breath to calm himself down, Yue Yao withdrew his palm and asked again, “I’ll give you another chance. Tell me… who instructed you to say this!?”

“Your Majesty, I have followed you since I was a child… none of the things that I’ve said are false!” Mad Tooth, who had both his knees on the ground, clenched his teeth as he insisted.

“Your Majesty, I have also seen the Fire Warrior Army. They seemed to want to kill Mad Tooth to avoid any loose ends. They chased him all the way until the Mansion of the Dead’s border. But after we appeared, they stopped with their pursuit. The saddest thing is that only Mad Tooth escaped. The Player Clan, the Tree Demon Clan, and the Demon Snake Clan from the resource convoy didn’t make it back!”

Yue Yao turned his gaze toward the man who spoke.

This person was a subordinate he trusted fully. He was the captain of his army called General Crescent Moon.

Hearing what General Crescent Moon had said, Yue Yao fell into silence.

A while later, Yue Yao asked again, “How many people saw the attack of the Fire Warrior Army, and where were all of you when it happened!?”

“At that time, Liu Chai, the Rock Ghost King, the Hydra King, Demon Capital, Ground Wolf, and the other leaders of the Beiqi forces were drinking with us here, celebrating the unity of Beiqi. No one left during the ceremony. When Mad Tooth returned, all of us saw the Fire Warriors chasing after him…” General Crescent Moon answered honestly.

By then, Yue Yao had almost believed what Mad Tooth had said because General Crescent Moon would never deceive him.

“Mad Tooth, tell me every detail of the incident!”

“Yes!”

Then, Mad Tooth repeated the entire process, from the point where he collected the resources from the palace, escorted them along the Barren Grassland, and finally got ambushed by the Fire Warriors.

Yue Yao’s expression was uncertain when he listened to Mad Tooth’s narration.

No matter how much he wanted to deny it, the evidence was solid. All evidence was pointing at his eighth brother Huo Yao.

As he remembered the time when Huo Yao said he wanted to become His Excellency, Yue Yao suddenly understood why he had done this. Fury arose in his heart.

“Oh yes, why are you guys gathering the troops!? Where on earth is Liu Chai?” Yue Yao furrowed his brows as he looked around.

“Your Majesty, hurry and stop Liu Chai. He has brought his soldiers to the Barren Grassland, saying that he will avenge his dead brothers. We couldn’t stop him!” General Crescent Moon pleaded on one knee.

“Nonsense!”

Although he was enraged, Yue Yao wasn’t one bit doubtful of Liu Chai’s actions.

Based on how much he knew Liu Chai, this behavior fit his character very well.

Nevertheless, Liu Chai’s reckless behavior before he even discussed it with his brothers would make him appear very passive.

Thinking of this, Yue Yao’s figure immediately flew up to the sky and sped toward the direction of the Nine Luminaries.

General Crescent Moon and the others followed behind Yue Yao.

Seeing this, the Rock Ghost King and the Hydra King exchanged glances with each other calmly before smirks could be seen on their faces.

From the initial set up of Liu Chai’s hasty character in Yue Yao’s heart until the subsequent plunder event, the plan had proceeded in an orderly manner. The next thing they needed to do was to wait for the outbreak of events.

…

At the border between the Land of the Nine Luminaries and the Barren Grassland, a group of players were running in the direction of Beiqi. Numerous Fire Warriors were in pursuit of them from behind.

Just as the Fire Warrior Army was about to catch up with the players, millions of players brought by Liu Chai suddenly emerged from the direction of the Barren Grassland.

Then, a few hundred thousand of the escaping players abruptly changed their direction and charged toward the Fire Warriors.

A battle broke loose.

Faced with the army of players far exceeding their own number, the Fire Warrior Army was beaten until they started to retreat.

However, Liu Chai didn’t stop. He ordered the players to chase after them and form a circle around them, besieging the group of Fire Warriors there.

The killing spree continued. Just then, a figure approached from the distant sky.

“Liu Chai, stop!”

Following that, the figure dropped from the sky and stood beside Liu Chai, holding his shoulder down with one hand.

“I’m asking you to stop, Liu Chai!”

At the time, Liu Chai’s eyes were red, “His Excellency Yue Yao, they took our resources and killed my brothers. Why should I stop!?”

“I smell something fishy in this, let me understand the situation first. As long as I can prove that it’s their doing, I will avenge your dead brothers and find myself justice, too!”

Looking at Liu Chai who was grimacing, Yue Yao was angry, too. Then, he instantly dashed toward the leader of the Fire Warrior Army, grabbed his neck, and lifted him in the air.

“I know you… General Fire, right? Now, I’ll give you a chance to explain yourself!”

“Cough cough… Lord Yue Yao, they invaded our camp, that’s why we were after them!”

Hearing that, a cold light flashed across Yue Yao’s eyes.

Right then, a few more figures appeared from behind and landed beside Yue Yao.

“Your Majesty, what this person said is totally unreliable. When Liu Chai departed with the Player Clan, we were all present. It’s impossible for him to have reached the Nine Luminaries and also attack the Fire Warrior Army’s Camp in such a short time. It’s ridiculous!”

The one who spoke was General Crescent Moon, who was most trusted by Yue Yao.

“General Fire, do you really wish to die? Speak the truth, my eighth brother Huo Yao ordered you to rob me of my treasures… am I right!?” Yue Yao was about to kill him.

Even though he was still considerate of his brother, Huo Yao’s actions were too much for him.

“Lord Yue Yao, it’s true that they invaded our campground first. We only went after them when we found out about it. I really have no idea about any robbery!”

Yue Yao shook his head in disappointment as he stared at General Fire.

All the evidence was conclusive, yet General Fire refused to admit it.

Liu Chai was at the Mansion of the Dead before he came with his soldiers after knowing the news of the plunder. General Crescent Moon and the others could prove his presence.

Besides, the fact that General Fire led his army into the Barren Grassland was the same as Mad Tooth described. Yue Yao was furious now.

Hack!

Without hesitation this time, Yue Yao broke General Fire’s neck.

All his underlings were at the scene. If he remained indecisive after being bullied, he had no right to be His Excellency, not to mention standing tall in front of his subordinates.
