Chapter 1736 The Hall Master Leads the Campaign

"Master!"

At this moment, Abraham walked toward Jiang Feng, deeply moved and full of excitement, with the gratitude of someone who'd received immense recognition and favor written all over his face!

Back in the Killing God Temple, the Twelve Knights outranked him; they were trusted aides at Hall Master Level.

But now, Jiang Feng had handed these twelve men over for him to command, which was more than enough to show Jiang Feng's trust in him—and his intent to cultivate him!

"I, Abraham, swear to the heavens that I will never disgrace this mission or betray your promotion!!"

"Mm."

Jiang Feng nodded and waved his hand. "Go. You should already know the specific assignment—keep a tight watch on all the key routes leading from Capital City to Binhai. The moment you spot anyone coming with ill intent, stop them and notify me."

"Yes, sir!"

Abraham bowed devoutly, then directly led the surrendered Twelve Knights, turned around, and left, heading down the mountain.

With that, Jiang Feng had resolved yet another wave of trouble. He hoisted Basel's corpse up from the ground and said, "Alright, I've got something to take care of. You all should get busy with your own tasks, don't mind me."

When he finished speaking, he dragged Basel by one leg and headed into the secret room.

Wu Feng and the others were already long used to Jiang Feng personally handling the corpses of those key figures after every major battle. Those people always ended up vanishing completely, without leaving even the slightest trace behind—it was downright eerie.

But they didn't dare ask, much less say anything extra; they could only respectfully go about their duties.

Shangguan Wan'er and Dong Ruyan watched Jiang Feng enter the secret room with their eyes wide open. They exchanged a look, then quietly followed after him.

At the same time, in the Eighteen Hells, at the Arctic Headquarters, inside the Ice Cold Hall.

Hall Master Augustus, clad in golden armor and holding a long spear, suddenly clutched his forehead and let out a heavy howl of pain. The sound was so shrill that the entire vaulted ceiling of the Ice Cold Hall started shedding shards of ice!

The nearly two hundred members standing in the Killing God Temple were instantly terrified into dropping to their knees, faces full of panic and fear, completely clueless as to what had just happened!

The other Vice Hall Master behind Augustus also looked somewhat tense and asked in puzzlement, "Hall Master, what's wrong?"

"No… impossible, this is impossible!!!"

Augustus took quite a while to recover before he finally raised his head with difficulty. His expression was a bit twisted, and his eyes were filled with extreme malice and icy coldness!

"Basel—something's happened to him!!"

Whoosh!!

As soon as those words came out, the members of the Killing God Temple filling the hall were even more shocked, and that Vice Hall Master was downright stunned beyond belief. "Hall Master, what did you say, Basel he…"

"How is that possible? Basel personally went to China and still ran into trouble?!"

"My sensing can't be wrong!"

Augustus snarled viciously, "Even he died at the hands of that young man surnamed Jiang from China?"

Previously, Basel had sent back intel regarding Jiang Feng, and afterward he led the Twelve Knights straight up to Yanchi Villa—Augustus knew all of this.

So when he suddenly sensed Basel go dark and disappear, he naturally connected it to Jiang Feng.

"Unbelievable. Just who the hell is that young Chinese punk surnamed Jiang, that even Basel isn't his match?" the Vice Hall Master asked, bewildered.

"How the hell would I know?"

Augustus gnashed his teeth. "Could he be an outstanding disciple groomed by some reclusive old monster in China? Whatever the case, he's been hammering my Killing God Temple time and again. This blood debt must be collected!"

"But, Hall Master…"

The Vice Hall Master hesitated for a moment, then still spoke up. "Things have already blown up now. I feel like this has started to get beyond our control and doesn't match what we originally imagined. Why don't we hurry and contact King Zhuanlun again, and ask the old man what we should do?"

"Shut up!!!"

Augustus roared with fury. "This is no longer just an issue between the Eighteen Hells and that bastard—it's the prestige of the Killing God Temple itself being trampled! If you and I go see King Zhuanlun right now, wouldn't that just be asking for humiliation? It'd be better if we cleaned up our own mess first, then went to Lord Yama and the others to beg forgiveness!"

"Uh, that's true! Then what do you intend…?"

"Eugene, you're coming with me—we're going to pay China a personal visit! I refuse to believe we'll end up like Basel, tripping over ourselves before the battle even begins. That bastard surnamed Jiang must pay a devastating price!!"

"Yes, Hall Master!"

The Vice Hall Master Eugene immediately answered, willing to accompany him.

Although Eugene and Basel were both Vice Hall Masters, Eugene's strength was greater—he had already stepped into a genuine Void Realm!!

The Void Realm was a Realm above Primordial Transformation, a level of cultivation reached by an extremely small number of people worldwide!

Even within the Eighteen Hells, where dragons and tigers lurked, someone in the Void Realm was qualified to serve as the second-in-command of the Killing God Temple—that alone showed how valuable he was!

"Hall Master, Vice Hall Master, we want to go too, to avenge Vice Hall Master Basel!!"

Suddenly, the nearly two hundred members beneath the hall also stood up in unison, stepped forward, and volunteered to Augustus and Eugene.

They had just heard the two Hall Masters' conversation, and they all felt this humiliation had to be washed away. They were eager to follow and avenge Hall Master Basel!!

Augustus frowned and snapped, "All of you shut up!!! There's no need for you to come to China this time—stay here and guard the hall. Eugene and I are more than enough!"

He knew well that China was no ordinary country. As one of the five great powers, it was a dangerous Forbidden Land for certain terrifying organizations and underground forces around the world!

If not for the urgency of revenge, he probably wouldn't even have considered personally taking action.

Besides, facing a monstrous young man who could even kill Basel, taking too many people would be pointless. They'd only be there to wave flags and shout slogans; it was better to travel low-key.

Moving in secrecy would make it easier to catch Jiang Feng off guard!!

Thus, after Augustus briefly arranged matters inside the hall, he led Eugene and set off together for China!

At the exact same time.

On a certain expressway from Capital City to Jiangdong, a mighty convoy of vehicles was rolling forward.

This was the Mo and Ben families personally dispatched by Ying Zheng.

Among them, Ying Zheng's sworn brothers Fifth Brother and Sixth Brother, Ben Yunhu and Mo Hongyu respectively, had agreed to combine their forces and set out together to conquer Jiangdong!

After returning to their respective families, they'd passed on Ying Zheng's orders. The Old Men of these two families also understood this was the legendary moment of "raising soldiers for a thousand days, using them for one moment," and so they decisively chose to support their grandsons. They personally led the elite forces of the family to march in force, swearing to tear Jiang Feng's body to shreds!

"Who would've thought our Ben Family would see a day like this, lowering ourselves to crush a little bastard? That brat must have ancestors burning incense at their graves!"

In the lead car, Head of Ben Family Ben Guokai sneered.

You really couldn't blame him for feeling like they were using anti-aircraft guns to swat a mosquito. Once these families that truly ranked among the top in Capital City and stood at the pinnacle of the pyramid stopped pretending and unleashed their powerful private forces and manpower, they could casually steamroll any local region and strike fear into everyone!
