Chapter 808: Chapter 808: I’ve Laid My Cards on the Table—Do You Dare to Pick Them Up?
The Transformation Array spread across the entire Dark Rising Headquarters.
As long as a living creature died within the vicinity of the headquarters, the array would detect it and automatically activate, extracting the maximum Source Power from within and storing it in the array.
This array had another obvious advantage: after Dark Rising made a move, no bloody scent would be left behind. Within a short half-hour, Dark Rising had orderly devoured more than ten thousand people using the array.
Xiyue and Lin Yi stood together atop the Dark Rising building, watching all kinds of people continuously pouring in.
"Lin Yi, I’ve noticed a change in you. When I first met you, you seemed like a particularly compassionate person, someone who would definitely step in to stop such a brutal scene."
Xiyue said this with a smile, her tone obviously teasing.
Lin Yi smiled slightly and responded.
"What’s there to stop? The actions of Dark Rising were fated to happen. My arrival only brought it about sooner."
"Bisite Planet has its destiny, just like the Dragon Race back then. Who could save them then?"
Xiyue leaned closer on Lin Yi’s shoulder, muttering softly.
"I was just joking, why so serious?"
Chenxi Country, Luojia Palace.
Throughout the square, top fighters with the strength of Martial Arts Perfection or above stood ready, waiting for orders.
Inside the palace, a middle-aged man was surrounded.
"To think that woman, Yan Qiushui, couldn’t hold back and made a move."
"Indeed, Boss, she practically disregards your presence. Although on Bisite Planet strength talks, she doesn’t have the right for such large-scale massacres of innocents."
"What do you say, Boss, should we head out and stop her from harming ordinary martial artists any further?"
Luojia’s confidants chimed in, cursing Yan Qiushui to the point of comparing her to pigs and dogs.
But as for Luojia on the throne, his heart lacked much fluctuation.
The news he received concerned a Secret Technique to boost strength.
As the strongest on Bisite Planet, claiming Luojia wasn’t obsessed with enhancing his power would be foolish.
Knowing that Dark Rising could enhance strength by absorbing Source Power, how could Luojia not be tempted?
To put it simply, who wouldn’t want to take a shortcut to success?
Luojia was no exception.
But according to Cao Ci, Dark Rising’s research on Source Power was stuck.
To break through the final barrier, sufficient Source Power was needed for research.
If Yan Qiushui’s group could conduct research steadily, soon enough they would make breakthroughs in absorbing others’ Source Power for personal use.
Acting at that time would not only earn Luojia the title of Savior of the world but also allow him to hijack Dark Rising’s research outcomes midway.
Luojia wasn’t incapable of attacking ordinary people; it just wasn’t the right time.
He could leverage his title as a savior to gradually harvest until there was nothing left, then cut them all down in one go.
Letting Yan Qiushui wreak havoc served Luojia’s purposes.
The more Source Power collected, the more strength Luojia would gain by intercepting it later.
"Let’s wait a bit longer."
"After all, that woman and her organization are vital combat forces for our Bisite Planet. If we face internal strife while dealing with external threats, it would be a heavy blow to us."
With Luojia’s statement, his subordinates immediately quieted down.
Some believed Luojia had considered the bigger picture and was a responsible leader.
Others couldn’t understand, thinking if there was ample reason to eliminate Yan Qiushui’s faction now, why hesitate?
True, Bisite faced external threats, but addressing internal issues first might make dealing with the external ones easier.
Despite the diverse opinions, Luojia’s words halted any action against Dark Rising for the time being.
Yan Qiushui, on the other hand, was bewildered.
She couldn’t comprehend.
For someone with Luojia’s intelligence and strength, he surely had informants everywhere and couldn’t have missed the fact that so many people disappeared from Bisite.
"If you ask me, Luojia is likely waiting for you to succeed."
"You take the blame, and he reaps the rewards."
Unable to figure this out, Yan Qiushui sought Lin Yi’s opinion.
Lin Yi didn’t hold back and shared his thoughts directly.
Hearing Lin Yi’s words, Yan Qiushui had an epiphany.
Based on her understanding of Luojia, he was indeed capable of such shameless acts.
After pondering for a moment, Yan Qiushui quickly devised a plan.
"If that’s what he’s hoping for, I won’t grant his wish!"
Soon enough, Yan Qiushui’s counter-strategy was released.
The news of Dark Rising’s secret murders of martial artists was revealed.
Various scenes of atrocities committed by Bisite’s second strongest, Yan Qiushui, and her followers against ordinary martial artists were exposed.
Suddenly, Yan Qiushui found herself in the public eye, with every major media outlet on social platforms calling her out, yet she chose to remain silent, unresponsive to the storm.
Naturally, as Yan Qiushui expected.
Once Dark Rising’s true nature was exposed, Luojia could no longer sit idle.
As the most authoritative figure on the planet, he had to take a stand.
Letting Dark Rising conduct research at ease was no longer possible.
He could no longer deceive his followers.
Trapped in a corner, Luojia’s face brimmed with ruthlessness.
"Heh, since that woman Yan Qiushui fails to see reason, don’t hold back. In the name of Luojia, I command all Bisite’s strongest to join me in heading to the Dark Rising Headquarters and slaughter Yan Qiushui and her ragtag group."
At Luojia’s command, his loyal followers immediately erupted in cheers.
"Bravo, Boss!"
The cheering group felt ecstatic, thinking they were about to make great achievements.
Little did they know, Luojia was already simmering with resentment:
Damn Yan Qiushui, I intended to let you live a few more days, but you showed no gratitude. In that case, I’ll carry on with the unfinished business of Dark Rising.
Outside Dark Rising Headquarters.
Countless martial artists gathered.
Writing a wrong and expelling evil was an inherent duty of martial artists.
Helping Luojia accomplish what he should do would surely earn his favor, possibly leading to a meteoric rise on Bisite Planet.
With this in mind, many self-proclaimed avatars of justice spontaneously organized to apprehend Yan Qiushui.
