ACSP: Chapter 111: Lei Li's Favor, Rebellion in Puppet City, Crisis in Kang City!
At this time, it wasn't just Lei Li; even the others all showed expressions of disbelief.
Although they hadn't fought Wang Jiao and Jiang Sha,
they had heard Lei Li talk about those two on the way here.
It was said that each of those two had strength not inferior to Lei Li's.
Especially that guy named Wang Jiao.
Not only did he possess a Chakra capacity comparable to a perfect Jinchuriki,
but the weapon in his hand could also devour others' Chakra to nourish himself.
What was even more ridiculous was
that he could even merge with his weapon,
turning into a monster that could move freely in the water.
If combined with large-scale Water Release skills,
his strength could even reach another level.
However, they never expected that those two were actually dead now?
Is this a joke?
"Who did it?"
Lei Li stared intently at Song She and asked.
Song She turned his head to look at Jiang Chen: "Who else do you think it could be? It's this kid, isn't it?"
As soon as these words were spoken,
everyone gasped in unison.
They had originally thought that the people of the Evil God Organization had a falling out and killed each other.
Because from the abnormal behavior of that Ronan earlier and this Song She, it was very obvious that these people had definitely had internal strife before.
But the information Song She revealed at this moment gave them a heavy blow.
Li Hongfei looked at Jiang Chen in disbelief and asked, "Jiang Chen, is what he said true? Were Wang Jiao and Jiang Sha really killed by you?"
"Yes, I indeed killed them."
Jiang Chen nodded noncommittally.
There was nothing to hide about such a thing.
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a while; their eyes were filled with nothing but shock upon shock.
They knew Jiang Chen was very powerful,
but they didn't expect his strength to have already reached such a level.
"Kid Jiang Chen, you killed those two, which is equivalent to avenging my brother. I, Lei Li, will remember this favor. In the future, if there's anything you need from me, just let me know, and even if it's a mountain of blades or a sea of fire, I will definitely not bat an eye."
Lei Li looked at Jiang Chen with a serious face, a sharp light flashing in his eyes, as if he had made a very important decision.
In response, Jiang Chen did not refuse.
Since this Lei Li wanted to owe him a favor, he might as well accept it; what if it could be used in the future?
Seeing that the others didn't press further about Jiang Sha and Wang Jiao's cause of death, Song She immediately shut his mouth and said no more.
He didn't want Lei Li and the others to know that five of them had teamed up against Jiang Chen alone, and in the end, not only did they fail to take him down, but Jiang Chen had counter-killed two of them with thunderous momentum.
Don't they need to save face?
...
After waving goodbye to City Lord Li Hongfei and the others, Jiang Chen immediately jumped onto Li Dala's Clay Flying Dragon and headed to Kang City with Lei Li and the others.
Not long after they left.
Inside the gold tower that Jiang Sha had previously piled up, there was a sudden movement.
City Lord Li Hongfei, who was cleaning up the battlefield, vaguely sensed something and hurriedly led people to surround it.
However, just as they dug open the gold tower.
Li Yanran, Lin Ye, and the others just happened to crawl out from a broken ice sphere.
"Yanran? You... you guys are still alive?"
City Lord Li Hongfei was overjoyed, hardly able to believe his eyes.
When he first arrived, he immediately used Perception Technique to search for Li Yanran's presence, but he had found nothing.
At that time, he thought his daughter had sacrificed herself.
He never expected her to still be alive, and looking completely unharmed.
This was too unexpected for him.
"Dad, what are you talking about? Can't you wish for something good for me?"
"No, no, I just didn't expect you to be here. I didn't sense your presence just now..."
"It was Jiang Chen. After we came out of the secret realm, he was worried about our safety, so he used the Water Prison Technique combined with Ice Release Chakra to seal us up, saying it could block others' Perception Technique. By the way, where is Jiang Chen..."
...
Meanwhile.
Kang City.
Evil God Headquarters.
At this moment, a withered old woman was kneeling piously under the statue of the Evil God, hands raised high above her head, holding a tube of thick blood in her palms, muttering deeds about the 'Evil God.'
It looked like some kind of strange ritual was being performed.
If Li Dala were here, he would definitely recognize this person.
Because this old woman performing the strange ritual was none other than.
Their Puppet City's Lord, Yan Guifang!
"There's an old saying in Great Xia: 'He who understands the times is a wise man.' City Lord Yan's decision to abandon the darkness and join me this time is definitely a wise move!"
Qin Hao stood beside Yan Guifang holding the Blood Sanguine Scythe, his eyes full of pride.
The forces in Kang City were complex.
Especially the major forces with Kage-level Contractors, who had been fighting openly and secretly for the past few years.
Although many forces formed an alliance to resist them.
But he knew very well in his heart.
There are no permanent allies in this world.
As long as the benefits are right.
Any relationship can be changed.
Take the Thunder God Temple and Puppet City, for example.
The alliance between these two forces has existed for two years, seemingly unbreakable, but in reality, it's all for the sake of interests.
Because the secret realms and resources controlled by these two forces are relatively close, they often have to interact.
To avoid unnecessary trouble and conflict, this layer of alliance was established.
But even so.
Small conflicts still occasionally break out between the people under these two forces.
Don't think these small contradictions are easily resolved.
You know, once cracks and gaps are formed, it's impossible to completely mend them.
And as time goes on, these cracks will only widen.
And Qin Hao saw this point.
So back when the Lei Li brothers wanted to go to Jinghai City to find new alliance relationships.
He had secretly contacted Old Granny Yan of Puppet City and promised her that as long as they worked together to deal with the Thunder God Temple, all the resources under the Thunder God Temple would be split equally.
At the same time, he would have the Evil God grant Old Granny Yan the ability of 'Immortal Body.'
Making Old Granny Yan a nominal protector of their Evil God Organization.
From then on, Puppet City would no longer need to pay tribute to them in Kang City.
Old Granny Yan naturally didn't refuse such a win-win situation.
And this was the main reason why the Thunder God Temple was ambushed by members of the Evil God Organization on their way back from Jinghai City.
Because their route had already been sold out by Old Granny Yan.
As for Li Dala, he was just a sacrifice chosen by Old Granny Yan to appease the Lei Li brothers.
Those who achieve great things do not sweat the small stuff.
For Old Granny Yan, for the future interests of herself and the entire Puppet City.
Sacrificing a mere Level 86 Elite Jonin Contractor was nothing at all!
