Chapter 916: The Only Missed Chance to Kill Ye Xiu

Lin Lei jumped up after hearing:

"Are you saying the entire island’s population of over two million has run to the Royal City?"

Xuan Zheng replied, "Just a few batches of ordinary people took the magnetic levitation train. Other ordinary people and Martial Artists are driving, taking vehicles, or running all the way to the Royal City."

Lin Lei collapsed onto the sofa!

A moment ago, he was ambitiously giving orders to counterattack, instructing each city’s City Lord to form a Warrior Legion and a logistical support system for ordinary people.

The next moment, everyone from various cities on the island has run to the Royal City.

How can a legion be formed like this?

Setting up a logistical support system is pointless;

With over two million chaotic Martial Artists and ordinary people gathered together, how can you maintain order? Provide accommodations? Arrange meals?

Over two million people, even if one or two hundred thousand enemy soldiers mix in, it would be hard to identify!

And most importantly!

Two million people clustered together!

One round of enemy shells thrown over would kill countless people!

They don’t even need to aim!

Just throw randomly and it will land on someone’s head!

...

Two hours later!

Kristina finally moved all the corpses of the ruling class from the mountain of blood to the top of the Holy Mountain.

"Why are there only this many?"

Ye Xiu counted, exactly 1700 corpses. Logically, there should be 1897.

"Lin Lei and five Eighth Realm War Gods didn’t attack the Holy Mountain. As for the missing 191, I don’t know where they went, but I’m sure there are no corpses above the Fifth Realm under the Holy Mountain." Kristina panted.

Ye Xiu squinted his eyes, wondering if Lin Lei took them away.

Just then, Qin Qing called on the phone, "The Fifth Prince of the Eternal Kingdom, Lin Fan, is at the gates of Red Water City leading 190 ruling class members and their families, claiming they want to surrender."

Oh?

Ye Xiu’s eyes lit up after reading the text message; 190 ruling class members plus Lin Fan, exactly 191.

Now just missing Lin Lei and five Eighth Realm War Gods!

Ye Xiu said, "Accept their surrender, let them into the city!"

Qin Qing: "Okay!"

Ye Xiu put away his phone and asked Kristina:

"Where do you think Lin Lei and the five Eighth Realm War Gods could have gone?"

Kristina shook her head, "I don’t know!"

Ye Xiu felt a surge of disappointment; not killing Lin Lei was his biggest blunder of this expedition, and he said:

"Looking at the mountain top, the routes are complete. Go to the Thousand Mechanism Hall and bring the telegraph over."

"Oh!" Kristina immediately dashed down the mountain, quickly going to the Thousand Mechanism Hall, and brought the telegraph to the top of the Holy Mountain.

Without Ye Xiu’s orders, Kristina cleverly connected all the wires.

"Send a telegram to Stephanie, informing her of everything that happened in the Royal City, but don’t reveal the secret of me being able to disable hearing." Ye Xiu commanded.

"Oh oh!" At this point, Kristina seemed like a bullied little wife, docilely obedient.

...

Golden Family!

"Slock and all were killed by Ye Xiu; Lin Fan, leading 190 ruling class members and their families, defected to the enemy; Lin Lei escaped the Royal Palace with five Eighth Realm; all other ruling class and capable fighters in the Royal Palace were slaughtered, including 78 Seventh Realms; Kristina was present and fell into Ye Xiu’s hands."

Stephanie read Kristina’s telegram with a bloodless face.

Sophia remained silent for a long time after hearing, then spoke:

"Ye Xiu possesses the ability to absorb other’s Totems and transfer them to others. Your second brother Snooker and 11 Seventh Realms have a total of 2 Eighth Realm Totems and 24 Seventh Realm Totems; your second brother Yasi and the 10 Seventh Realm Golden Family members on Nameless Island have a total of 27 Seventh Realm Totems; among the Seventh Realm ruling class, one-third possess 2 Totems. Ye Xiu slaughtered 78 Seventh Realms in the Royal Palace, conservatively estimating, he can obtain around 100 Seventh Realm Totems..."

"In other words, Ye Xiu could use these Totems to create 2 Eighth Realm War Gods, and around 150 Seventh Realm War Gods..."

At this point!

Sophia looked grimly at Stephanie, and said:

"Stephanie, during your reign, Mist Chant Martial Meeting failed, tragically many died; foreign enemies invaded, leaving the Eternal Kingdom with just one island, King Island; all the geniuses cultivated for years on Nameless Island defected to Ye Xiu; 3500 ruling class members, died or betrayed, leaving only Lin Lei and five Eighth Realms..."

Sophia listed one by one Stephanie’s failures during her rule, and finally said:

"Most importantly, you cultivated Ye Xiu, the Dragon God Totem Successor, into an invincible force, and you even helped him nurture a powerful faction."

"Stephanie, you better flee, staying in the Underground City, you will surely perish."

Stephanie listened carefully to Sophia’s analysis, raising her head abruptly to look at Sophia after hearing the last sentence.

"Unbelievable," she said, "Mom, you, you want to drive me away? Are you abandoning me?"

"You only have a slim chance at survival if you escape!" Sophia said.

"No!" Stephanie shook her head and said, "As long as the Golden Family protects me, the other two families won’t kill me, they’ll only punish me, since I am the Golden Totem Inheritor."

Sophia nodded, "You’re right, the Golden Family can save your life, but it will lose its governing power and completely become a subordinate of the other two families. If you escape, I can tell the three Judicator Families that you colluded with the enemy, and all the mistakes you made during your rule have nothing to do with the Golden Family. Your escape can preserve the Golden Family."

At this point, Sophia added, "Actually, this is also the Clan Leader’s intention."

Stephanie was stunned!

To maintain the Golden Family’s governing power, they didn’t hesitate to let her take the blame for colluding with the enemy.

"What if I don’t run?" Stephanie asked angrily.

"Then you’ll have to die!"

Sophia’s eyes became fierce as she said:

"The Clan Leader will kill you, then tell everyone in the three Judicator Families that you were found to have colluded with the enemy, and therefore were executed."

Stephanie’s face immediately turned as pale as paper.

She said nothing more, nodded expressionlessly, and left silently...

...

"I’m exhausted..."

Ye Xiu lay half-dead atop the Holy Mountain. He had spent over six hours draining Snooker and 11 Golden Family Seventh Realm members, as well as the martial prowess and totems of 1700 ruling class members all at once.

His entire body was completely worn out!

"Kristina, I’m so tired now that I can’t even stand up. If you kill me now, it would take no effort."

Ye Xiu panted.

Heh, I don’t believe you... Kristina forced a smile and said:

"If you’re tired, shall I get you something to eat and drink?"

Ye Xiu nodded, "Go ahead!"

Immediately, Kristina trotted down the mountain to get food and drinks for Ye Xiu.

Seeing this, Ye Xiu felt a pang of guilt. He hadn’t deceived Kristina; he was indeed so exhausted he couldn’t stand. If Kristina really made a move, he would surely die!

But by telling the truth, he managed to scare Kristina into not daring to act!

"This time, I’ve really hit the jackpot!"

Ye Xiu chuckled to himself:

"I didn’t expect Snooker to have two Eighth Realm Totems, 11 Golden Family Seventh Realm, along with the 1700 ruling class, plus Yasi and the 10 Golden Family Seventh Realm totems that were taken to Nameless Island, only giving Bruce an Earth System Totem."

"Now the extra totems I have include: 2 Eighth Realm, 145 Seventh Realm..."

As for Sixth Realm and Fifth Realm, Ye Xiu couldn’t be bothered to count!

"Master!"

Just then, two figures swiftly approached!

It was the Sword Fanatic and Lanshan Valley!

Ye Xiu’s face turned dark immediately: "I sent you a telegram six hours ago, why are you only coming now?"

He was worried that in absorbing the martial prowess and totems of so many people at once, he would tire himself out.

So he sent a telegram for the two Eighth Realm Sword Fanatic and Lanshan Valley to come and act as bodyguards.

Yet these two only arrived now!

"The road outside the Royal Palace was crowded, so, heh, mainly because Master didn’t give me and the Sword Fanatic Earth System Totems."

Lanshan Valley explained with an awkward smile.

"Master, are you injured?"

The Sword Fanatic knelt down, saw Ye Xiu’s pale face, and asked with concern.

Ye Xiu did not answer, saying, "Guard me, I need to refine for a while."

"Yes!"

The Sword Fanatic and Lanshan Valley immediately drew their weapons, guarding Ye Xiu on both sides, fully prepared.

At this moment, Kristina returned, panting with a bag full of food and drinks.

Seeing the Sword Fanatic and Lanshan Valley, she was stunned, then saw Ye Xiu lying on the ground with his eyes closed as if dead.

Kristina instantly understood, realizing that Ye Xiu hadn’t deceived her before. Ye Xiu truly was so exhausted he couldn’t stand, otherwise, he wouldn’t have called the Sword Fanatic and Lanshan Valley over to protect him!

Gah!

Kristina almost spat blood in regret!

She had missed the only chance she had to kill Ye Xiu!
