Chapter 917: Headquarters

Half an hour later!

Ye Xiu recovered completely and found an unread message.

It was from Qin Qing:

"All ordinary people in the city mansion on King Island have arrived at Royal City, but Lin Lei ordered them to go to the three Defensive Cities, while all Martial Artists in the three Defensive Cities are to head to Royal City; additionally, all Martial Artists on the island are expected to arrive at Royal City within 3 hours, and Lin Lei hasn’t figured out how to accommodate them yet."

After reading the message, Ye Xiu pondered for a moment and replied:

"Order the mutated beast army from Everlasting Life Island to attack Royal City."

Qin Qing: "Are you thinking of using those millions of mutated beasts as cannon fodder?"

Ye Xiu replied: "Dead beasts are better than dead people; millions of mutated beasts can greatly reduce the number of Martial Artists on King Island."

Qin Qing: "Understood!"

Ye Xiu: "By the way, take everyone from Nameless Island to Red Water City; from now on, Red Water City will be our headquarters."

Qin Qing: "Alright!"

Ye Xiu put away his phone, stood up, stretched lazily, and said to Sword Fanatic and Lanshan Valley:

"Notify the Blood Cloth Guards and other members of the 101st Squadron to rendezvous at Red Water City!"

"Okay!"

Sword Fanatic and Lanshan Valley nodded and immediately left!

Ye Xiu sent a message to Jiang Keqing, instructing them to return to Xiaoyao Island, and then left the Royal Palace with Kristina.

The two first went to bring along Lei Xiaoming, who was hidden in the trapping formation, and left Royal City together.

The journey to Royal City was incredibly fruitful!

...

Transcendent Laboratory, 300 levels underground!

"Your Majesty, the City Defense Department reports that Huang Quan has left Royal City with the little princess and an unfamiliar young man," Xuan Zheng reported upon receiving a telegram.

The unfamiliar young man he mentioned was Ye Xiu, who had reverted to his own form, while the City Defense Department mistook the real Lei Xiaoming for Huang Quan.

"They finally left!" Lin Lei sighed with relief and said, "Next, we just need to settle the incoming Martial Artists from across the island to form combat corps and counterattack the enemy army."

At this moment, Xuan Zheng received another telegram, and after reading it, he was dumbfounded:

"Your, Your Majesty, the people you sent to check the Grain Storage Base reported back that all the food is gone, and the twenty Earth System Totem Inheritors who were sent to bury the food underground were all killed."

"What?" Lin Lei’s face changed dramatically: "Without food, how will the over 20 million Martial Artists and ordinary people survive? Without them, how will we fight a war?"

The faces of Xuan Zheng and five other Eighth Realm individuals were as grim as Lin Lei’s.

Xuan Zheng said solemnly, "With over 20 million people gathered in Royal City and the three Defensive Cities, if they become desperate from hunger, they’ll mutiny. Then, before the enemy attacks, our interior will implode."

Lin Lei didn’t respond directly, sitting on the sofa and smoking cigarette after cigarette, his face full of worry.

...

When Ye Xiu brought Kristina and Lei Xiaoming to Red Water City, the Blood Cloth Guards and 101st Squadron had already been waiting for a long time.

To Ye Xiu’s surprise, Jiang Keqing and the Seventh Realm and Eighth Realm group were also there.

Additionally, there were Lei Busi and Lin Fan!

"Ye Xiu, where is Huang Quan?" Bruce asked.

"Are you waiting for Huang Quan?" Ye Xiu countered with a question.

"Nonsense, besides Huang Quan, who else knows that so many of us big shots are waiting?"

Bruce was visibly impatient and continued to ask:

"Where is Huang Quan? Why hasn’t he come to Red Water City?"

Jiang Keqing, the Blood Cloth Guards, and the 101st Squadron looked at Bruce as if he were an idiot; he certainly had a face begging to be punched.

"Huang Quan told me to pass a message: go back to Xiaoyao Island immediately, or he’ll come and cut you down!" Ye Xiu said with a smile.

Bruce and the others’ expressions changed dramatically!

They came to Red Water City to wait for Huang Quan so that he would order Ye Xiu to give each of them a Life Totem.

But...

"Still not leaving?" Leng Yue shouted angrily.

Bruce and the others tucked their necks in and hurriedly left!

Jiang Keqing originally wanted to stay and ask Ye Xiu when he would give her a Totem, but she feared revealing Ye Xiu’s identity and enraging him.

She had no choice but to follow Bruce and the others out!

"Are you Ye Xiu? Did Huang Quan have any message for me?"

Lin Fan looked Ye Xiu up and down and asked.

He was very curious about Ye Xiu, the Medicine King Xuanse, who was under the bounty order of the three Judicator Families.

"Huang Quan said that from now on, the army in Red Water City is under your command, and this unit will serve as the Seventh Army." Ye Xiu said.

The army in Red Water City was originally a mixed group that attacked Westwind Island and Drunken Fairy Island, controlled by Chloe using Purple Pupil.

Ye Xiu did not intend to waste any more energy on this motley crew, so he handed them over to Lin Fan.

"Oh? Didn’t expect Huang Quan to value me so much."

Lin Fan’s eyes lit up, and he immediately expressed his stance, saying:

"You can help me relay a message to Huang Quan that I’ll definitely help him destroy the Eternal Kingdom and the three Judicator Families, living up to his trust in me."

Ye Xiu nodded: "Alright, quickly take command of the Red Water City army and lead them to the southern port of King Island, where someone will meet you and take you to Xiaoyao Island!"

This group needed to go to Xiaoyao Island to receive equipment, which would facilitate command once the war began. Additionally, with tens of millions fighting, if there wasn’t uniform equipment, there’s a risk of friendly fire.

"Okay!" Lin Fan nodded and immediately left!

It wasn’t until then that Ye Xiu looked at Lei Busi and said:

"On the way here, I gave Lei Xiaoming a drop of Golden Blood and a Fifth Realm Fire System Totem. What’s your plan for the future, you and your grandson?"

Upon hearing Ye Xiu had transformed his waste of a grandson into a Fifth Realm War God, Lei Busi was overjoyed and replied:

"I plan to stay and help you eliminate the Eternal Kingdom and the three Judicator Families."

This also aligns with the order from the Hall Master of the Dragon King’s Palace!

"Alright!"

Ye Xiu nodded and said to the Blood Cloth Guards and the 101st Squadron:

"Leng Yue will come with me, the rest of you disperse and find living accommodations."

Having said that, he led Leng Yue directly toward the Lord’s Mansion in Red Water City, speaking along the way:

"From Snooker, I acquired an Eighth Realm Water System Totem and an Eighth Realm Fire System Totem. Which one do you want?"

Without hesitation, Leng Yue said: "I have a Life Totem and a Seventh Realm Water System Totem, so I’ll exchange my Seventh Realm Water System Totem for your Eighth Realm Water System Totem!"

"Alright!" Ye Xiu nodded.

Arriving at the Lord’s Mansion, Ye Xiu absorbed Leng Yue’s Water System Totem aura into himself and gave her Snooker’s Eighth Realm Water System Totem.

After that, Ye Xiu didn’t rest.

Instead, he immediately started working on setting up formations in Red Water City.

For a long period ahead, Red Water City would be his headquarters.

This place must be safe!

However, Red Water City lacked array foundations, and the City Mansion was so large that the speed of array formation was destined to be slow.

...

Next morning!

Qin Qing and the people from Nameless Island grandly arrived at Red Water City; there were many!

Qin Qing, Jiao Jiao, Tang Bo and their group;

The Heaven Net, numbering in the thousands;

The alliance owing Ye Xiu 2,500 lives;

2,500 experimental subjects;

Old darlings led by Seven Kill Mo Qingdi and Greedy Wolf Tang Buyi;

Everyone from the Tiansha Association led by Kuroki Suzu;

1,446 Loose Cultivator Groups;

The entire Sword Cottage group;

Beast Kings;

All intelligence personnel from Royal City led by Ghost Shadow;

Also, Gong Jin and Ghost Doctor, who had just undergone Spiritual Energy infusion;

Along with the Blood Cloth Guards and the 101st Squadron already in the city.

These were Ye Xiu’s trustworthy team against the Eternal Kingdom and the three Judicator Families.

However!

After entering the city!

They couldn’t find Ye Xiu!

Primarily because Ye Xiu was busy setting up formations and couldn’t see them!
