Chapter 655: Chapter 508: Frenzy: Gao Neng Is Coming to Kill

“What?!”

Gao Neng, of course, knew what it meant to have “fallen.”

And he also understood the significance of one of the Strongest perishing.

Back in Ice City, the fall of the Blood Marshal had alarmed the entire North District Alien Race. And now, Chen Bai was telling him that the Sword Elder had fallen?!

“How is that possible? What the hell happened?!” Gao Neng truly hadn’t expected such a major disaster to occur in the short span of less than four days since he’d left.

The Sword Elder had fallen!

Shen Ning’Er had been forced to leave.

The issues behind all this were definitely no coincidence.

Something terrible had happened in the City of Hope!

“It all started right after you left…” Chen Bai didn’t dare delay any longer and explained the entire sequence of events in one breath.

Although he had been the one to bring Gao Neng to the City of Hope, and in a sense, Gao Neng had just called him “Brother Chen Bai”…

…he understood the current gap between them.

It wasn’t just a matter of status, but also of strength!

Gao Neng had already reached the Eighth-rank!

Even Fang Tangtang had reached the Seventh-rank!

Two high-rank experts!

With such terrifying strength, coupled with Gao Neng’s status as a council member, what matter within the Alliance could possibly need to be kept secret from them?

Chen Bai started his account with the convening of the emergency council meeting.

He first spoke of how Wu Qingjing’s command authority was forcibly seized and how he was forced to “rest,” then moved on to Shen Ning’Er’s analysis of the later stages of the war and the arrangements she made.

Finally, he came to the Sword Elder’s fall and Shen Ning’Er’s parting instructions.

Chen Bai recounted everything in meticulous detail.

Gao Neng listened intently.

His fists were clenched tightly, but he didn’t interrupt Chen Bai’s narration, not even once, waiting until he had finished explaining everything.

“Is that everything?” Gao Neng asked.

“Yes, that’s the whole story. Command of the battlefield is now in Liang Qi’s hands. Division Commander Shen has already left for the Eastern District Fortress alone. I also heard a piece of news—two days ago, the Celestial King Group stopped all its medicinal supplies and moved to the Underground City.”

“And Speaker Wu? Where is he?” Gao Neng asked again after a moment of thought.

“He’s in the Federation Government Building. Even though Speaker Wu was stripped of his command, he’s still working there. Liang Qi is there too… Right, I also heard that Liang Qi wanted to enter the Underground City, apparently for your ‘gene weapon research diagram,’ but for some reason, Governor Yuntian refused him entry. I heard there was even some sort of physical clash between them,” Chen Bai added.

“A physical clash?” Gao Neng’s brow furrowed.

Things were far more serious than he had imagined. The conflict between Yutian and Liang Qi was undoubtedly at Wu Qingjing’s instruction, but that wasn’t the crucial part.

‘The important thing is, at a time when the Sword Elder has fallen, Liang Qi actually has the nerve to be in the Underground City, fighting with Yutian over a nonexistent ‘gene weapon’?’

‘Does he really think I’m dead?!’

BOOM!

Gao Neng slammed his fist into a pile of nearby rubble.

The rubble instantly disintegrated into dust.

Yi Qingge, a few other Dragon List Geniuses, and the surrounding citizens all stared at Gao Neng with wide eyes.

“In just three short days, I was out there fighting for my goddamn life, and you, Liang Qi, have the audacity to play games with internal and external crises?!” As Gao Neng spoke, he didn’t use an Energy Barrier to muffle his voice. “Fang Tangtang, come with me! We’re going to the Federation Government Building!”

“Okay! Let’s go kill him!” Fang Tangtang immediately nodded.

SWOOSH!

The two of them shot into the air.

There wasn’t a moment’s hesitation.

“W-Wait! Gao Neng, you can’t just go there like this!” Chen Bai jumped in alarm. He really hadn’t expected Gao Neng to charge in and start a fight.

‘What is this?’

‘Can political matters really be solved with fists?’

Besides, the most important thing was that Liang Qi now held sole military command of the Alliance. Even if Gao Neng had broken through to the Eighth-rank, could he and Fang Tangtang possibly take on the entire council, let alone the security at the Federation Government Building, all by themselves?

“This is bad. Something terrible is about to happen!” Chen Bai’s face was deathly pale. This was a critical moment with the Alien Race Alliance Army attacking the city. If Gao Neng went to the Federation Government Building to cause trouble now, he could easily be charged with “disrupting command” and immediately imprisoned.

And if Liang Qi managed to imprison Gao Neng…

…then the entire Alliance would truly fall under Liang Qi’s complete control.

“Gao Neng, come back!”

“Gao Neng, wait a moment! I’ll have Qinglian go with you! No… I’ll have the Saintess go with you!” Yi Qingge had also realized the problem.

But Gao Neng and Fang Tangtang had already flown off, their speed astonishingly fast.

‘An Eighth-rank expert… can move that terrifyingly fast?!’ Chen Bai stared blankly at the departing Gao Neng, momentarily unable to process what was happening.

“What? Did you say Gao Neng is Eighth-rank?” Yi Qingge, who was just about to give chase, suddenly heard Chen Bai’s muttered words.

“Er… yes, he broke through… No, that’s not it. The crucial thing now is to report this immediately! But who do I report to? My clearance only goes as high as the Division Commander level!” Chen Bai nodded, then shook his head, looking truly frantic.

“Captain Chen, what did you just tell Gao Neng?” Yi Qingge looked at Chen Bai, then immediately continued, “Never mind. Whatever you told him, we have to report this up the chain now… I can contact my father directly. He’ll get in touch with Speaker Wu!”

“Right! Tell Speaker Wu that Gao Neng has broken through to the Eighth-rank and is storming the Federation Government Building! You must… you must stop him!” Chen Bai snapped back to his senses.
