Chapter 857 - 453: Even Prince Has No Face Here!

Chapter 857: Chapter 453: Even Prince Has No Face Here!

[Conservatively estimated, it will take half an hour to complete the evacuation]

Ah?

Bai Mo furrowed his brow.

With the spreading speed of that blood cloud, it would only take a few minutes to cover dozens of miles around!

By then, when the blood rain falls, these villages, this lumber yard, those elderly unable to be evacuated, wouldn’t they all suffer?

He was stepping forward towards the office.

But in the Immortal Committee’s group chat, he suddenly saw Professor Zhang @everyone, sending a message.

[The Ancient Immortal Master asked me to relay a message to the West State Boss]

[The Prince Snake Elephant wants that treasure vault! Wants the West State Boss to give him face!]

...

Inside the Bronze Royal Court.

Prince Snake Elephant and his disciple Jing Guqing both stared at the Bronze Mirror, watching the desolate village and dry well beneath the blood cloud.

"Master, will he give up the treasure vault? Will he save face? How do I feel..."

The Prince’s hand, large and thick like a palm fan, was placed on the bronze table.

"If he doesn’t give in... then let all living beings within dozens of miles die!"

...

Outside the office door, Bai Mo saw someone sending a message in the group chat.

[Is it really too late to evacuate?]

[What exactly is in that treasure vault? Is it valuable? If it’s not valuable, can we abandon it?]

[The Prince’s meaning is that he doesn’t want a direct conflict with the West State Boss?]

[It’s really hard to evacuate, these old men and women won’t budge, they really don’t want to leave, thinking their home is the safest]

[So disgusting]

[This Prince speaks rather remarkably]

[Otherwise, the West State Boss might as well give the Prince a break]

[We cannot force the West State Boss, but if he could save face, it would certainly be much easier]

Bai Mo furrowed his brow.

Now it seems that abandoning the treasure vault and handing it over might be the best solution?

After all, that treasure vault is quite redundant, not valuable.

And the evacuation pressure on the Immortal Committee is indeed too great!

There are also some who opposed.

[Give him a break!]

[Today he deployed the blood cloud outside the suburbs, and the West State Boss must relent]

[Tomorrow he deploys the blood cloud in towns?]

[The day after he deploys the blood cloud in urban areas?]

[Should we just endlessly compromise?]

It’s true!

Bai Mo grinned.

"What Prince... for me, there’s no face.

"And in Fox Mountain’s dictionary, there’s no word ’compromise.’

"Using an Immortal Technique once and then bringing it before me again is not quite suitable."

Bai Mo furrowed his brow, pushed open the door, walked into the office, and saw Wu Qingyun staring at the live broadcast, while Fang Xiaoyu was typing away, processing documents.

He went to his workstation, reclined in his chair, and closed his eyes.

"Big and Small Eyes should be ready now."

...

Immortal Committee office building.

On every floor, in every office, almost everyone was watching the live broadcast.

"Can the West State Boss really not save face for the Prince?"

"Better if they could!"

"The evacuation truly can’t pull through!"

"We give in this time, but what about next time?"

Everyone was tense and anxious, plunged into conflict.

Inside the top-floor office.

Chairman Chen Shu was also staring at the computer screen, at the live broadcast.

This time, whether the West State Boss relents or not, both choices have reason.

He’s not the one to make the decision.

At this moment, his head was chaotic, already thinking about what could be done if the West State Boss retreats.

If the West State Boss doesn’t retreat, how he should handle it?

"Eh? What’s this?"

Suddenly, he saw on the live broadcast, next to the dry well, a tree quickly sprouting from the ground at a visibly rapid pace!

This tree had many forked branches, dense and swaying in the wind.

There were no leaves on the branches, just eyeballs, at first glance like a tree full of black dates.

Each eyeball rolled around, observing the blood cloud from different directions and angles.

...

Whoosh...

Cold wind blew into the Bronze Royal Court.

Prince Snake Elephant and Jing Guqing together stared at the Bronze Mirror, seeing the newly sprouted bizarre tree next to the dry well.

"What’s going on?

"What’s his intention?

"What’s this bizarre tree trying to do?

"This tree has so many eyeballs.

"What do all these eyes want to do?"

Prince Snake Elephant furrowed his brow.

It’s certainly true to say the West State Boss doesn’t understand the Ancient Immortal Dynasty.

But actually, he also truly doesn’t understand the West State Boss’s peculiar Immortal Techniques.

Just like this tree, he’d never seen it before!

"What exactly is this?"

"Don’t mind him! If he doesn’t yield the treasure vault, let blood rain cleanse those villages in three minutes!

"All this killing will be blamed on him!"

...

Whoosh...

A foul wind blew, and beside the ancient well, the bizarre tree bearing countless eyeballs gently swayed with the breeze.

These eyeballs are actually observation instruments, all monitoring the blood cloud in the sky from different angles, obtaining varied information, which is ultimately compiled and delivered to the very center of the dense branches and leaves at the tree’s crown!

And there, a small red chubby fox crouched, holding a sniper rifle, staring intently through the scope.

All the information observed by the tree’s eyeballs was concentrated into its scope!

"Ying ying ying!"

The scope’s view pierced through the sky’s blood cloud, revealing the inside!

Within the blood cloud, there was an unmistakably bright red large bird, hidden in it, fluttering left and right, constantly spewing out blood clouds as if smoking!

The bird’s speed was incredibly fast, darting like a red flash, moving unpredictably in all directions!

In an instant, it appeared on the left side of the blood cloud!

The next instant, it flashed to the right side of the blood cloud!

As it spat out mouthfuls of red smoke, more and more dark clouds were stained into a bloody hue!

"Ying ying ying!"

Big and Small Eyes cradled the gun, gently shifting the gun barrel, the fox claw resting on the trigger.

Through the scope, it locked onto the monster bird hidden in the red cloud, predicting its trajectory...

With this observation tree in place, even if the bird was camouflaged within the red cloud, it was precisely tracked, unable to hide!

"Ow ow ow!"

This was precisely crafted by Master after the battle at the Great Wilderness Hill Buddhist Temple, the sniper’s observation tree was truly useful!

Grinning, it pinpointed a predicted node and casually fired.

Click!

The trigger was pulled!

Bam!

A black bullet propelled out of the barrel with fiery tongues!

Swoosh!

In an instant, the bullet crossed the sky at thousands of meters high, penetrating the whistling foul wind!

Puff!

The bullet entered the blood cloud, leaving a small hole!

Splutter!

The bullet collided with the mouth of the crazily smoking monster bird flying head-on in the blood cloud!

Swish!

The bullet entered through the bird’s mouth and exited the back of its head, trailing a spurt of fresh blood.

...

Big and Small Eyes hidden in the observation tree’s canopy, holding the sniper rifle, beaming with joy, began to celebrate!

"Ying ying ying!

"Ow ow ow!"

...

In the Bronze Royal Court, Prince Snake Elephant wore a fierce expression.

"What is he trying to do?

"Is he disregarding mortal lives for that treasure vault?

"Hmph, Guqing, arrange some black publicity, let the people of this world know his true face..."

Before he even finished speaking, the military jade token hanging from the prince’s waist suddenly shattered with a loud bang!

Zap!

Debris and dust splattered everywhere.

Prince Snake Elephant froze, lowering his gaze to the already shattered military token on his waist.

That was precisely the Blood Cloud Seagull’s military token!

...

Within the Immortal Committee, in floor after floor, office after office, committee members watched the live broadcast, speechless.

Evacuation couldn’t be completed.

The blood cloud continued to spread.

Outside the ancient well’s mouth, the strange tree danced in the wind, unmistakably in the style of the West State Boss! And he showed no signs of backing down.

"Is he really not respecting the prince’s face?"

Zhang Shan stood behind Committee Member Gu Lin, muttering to himself, uncertain of what would happen.

Suddenly, in the live broadcast, the blood cloud covering half the sky started to dilute, thin out, tear apart, gradually blur in the air, gradually disperse, and was visibly about to fade...

Committee Member Gu Lin turned to look at Zhang Shan.

Zhang Shan lowered his head to look at Committee Member Gu Lin.

The Immortal Technique Committee members in the room glanced at one another.

"Is the blood cloud fading?"

"Has the West State Boss backed down?"

"It doesn’t seem like he retreated?"

"Did the prince back down?"

"Even the prince cannot save face!"

"No face at all!"

Zhang Shan laughed heartily.

"Ha!

"What face?

"Just a shoe pad!"

Suddenly someone pointed at the screen.

"Look!"

On the surveillance footage, the drone camera quickly focused, capturing a fiery red meteor rapidly descending in the dispersing blood cloud, plunging towards the ground!

"What’s that?"

The drone camera continued to focus, finally capturing the fiery red meteor clearly.

It was unmistakably a dead bird, falling from the sky!

Blood splattered like ink!
