Chapter 976: Tearing Apart the Enemy

After his avatar was killed, Lin Lei hurried to the artificial intelligence room.

As soon as he entered, he said, "My avatar was killed by Ximen Da Guanren."

A line appeared on the screen: "Why? Did he find out you were lying?"

"I don’t know!" Lin Lei shook his head. "He didn’t say anything, just stomped me to death."

The artificial intelligence fell into silence.

Lin Lei didn’t interrupt, knowing the AI was calculating various probabilities.

Several minutes later!

A line appeared on the screen:

"I have no data on Ximen Da Guanren. I know too little about him to calculate why he killed you, but let’s assume he discovered your lie. In that case, he will surely join forces with the Demon Clan, the Three Judicator Families, and the Genius Alliance to find me at all costs."

Lin Lei raised an eyebrow: "What should we do then?"

Artificial Intelligence: "Let’s first observe the movements of the Three Judicator Families’ army and the Demon Clan’s army."

"Okay!" Lin Lei nodded. The AI controlled the armies of the Three Judicator Families and the Demon Clan—two hundred thousand strong—and would instantly know of any movement from them.

One hour later!

Artificial Intelligence: "The Three Judicator Families’ army was the first to arrive at the Genius Alliance’s location; however, it was completely empty, not a single person in sight."

Lin Lei was taken aback: "The Genius Alliance numbers over 15 million people; they couldn’t disappear without a trace. Where did they go?"

After a series of calculations, a line appeared on the screen:

"Since Ximen Da Guanren knows we falsely conveyed the Imperial Edict, commanding the Demon Clan’s army, and the Three Judicator Families’ army to attack the Genius Alliance, he must have sent the Genius Alliance to retaliate against us..."

At that moment, Lin Lei suddenly realized where the Genius Alliance had gone, his complexion changing drastically as he spoke:

"Not good, the Genius Alliance has gone to attack the army at the junction between the Underground City and King Island."

Artificial Intelligence: "That’s correct; please have your avatar lead a contingent of nanorobots and liquid metal robots to quickly provide assistance."

"Alright!" Lin Lei immediately contacted his remaining avatar.

After contacting, he asked:

"Do you need me to do anything else?"

Artificial Intelligence: "Continue waiting for news!"

Lin Lei nodded!

More than twenty minutes passed.

Artificial Intelligence: "The Demon Clan’s army has arrived at the Genius Alliance and started fighting with the Three Judicator Families’ army which was resting there."

Lin Lei’s eyes lit up: "That’s good news; I hope they beat each other’s brains out—the more dead, the better."

Another half hour passed.

Artificial Intelligence: "The Clan Leader of the Three Judicator Families and the Three Great Demon Venerables of the Demon Clan arrived at the Genius Alliance almost simultaneously, stopping the battle, and afterward, the Clan Leader led the army and headed north."

"Heading north?" Lin Lei frowned: "Are they returning to their bases or going somewhere else?"

Artificial Intelligence: "Returning to their base would be the best scenario; I’m worried they’ll continue heading north."

"What do you mean?" Lin Lei asked.

Artificial Intelligence: "If the Three Judicator Families’ army continues heading north, it means Ximen Da Guanren found out you were lying and figured out our hiding location’s general area—prompting the Three Judicator Families’ army to conduct a carpet search of Forest Island."

Lin Lei’s face turned pale with fright; the underground palace couldn’t withstand an extensive search, then asked:

"What do we do now? Should we leave?"

The artificial intelligence remained silent for a long time: "First, have the liquid metal robots take all stored nanorobots to infiltrate the Three Judicator Families’ army, Demon Clan army, and Genius Alliance army, letting the nanorobots control more Martial Artists;"

"Second, I will order the Martial Artists already controlled by nanorobots in the Three Judicator Families’ army to assassinate the others who aren’t controlled, and if discovered, to kill immediately;"

"Third, deploy all liquid metal robots to infiltrate the Three Judicator Families’ army, disguise as members of the Three Judicator Families, and carry out assassination, stabbing, and killing;

"Fourth, deploy all self-destructing robots; they should be able to injure, kill, and poison many enemies;

"These four steps should be enough to scare off the Three Judicator Families’ army, intimidate the Demon Clan and Genius Alliance, and deter everyone from stepping into Forest Island’s north."

After hearing this, Lin Lei felt the artificial intelligence’s arrangement was most reasonable and said:

"Okay, let’s carry out your plan, you’re responsible for the arrangements."

Artificial Intelligence: "Got it!"

Lin Lei didn’t leave but paced within the artificial intelligence’s room.

He worried about the army stationed at the junction of King Island and the Underground City, which was his foundation.

Meanwhile!

Lin Lei’s avatar led 1,000 nanorobots and 1,000 liquid metal robots, rushing eastward at the fastest speed.

Lin Lei’s plan was to run straight north to the junction of King Island and Underground City as quickly as possible, then head south to find the army.

Though not as fast as heading directly to the army’s location, this tactic avoided encountering the Three Judicator Families’ army and the Demon Clan’s army.

Running a direct line meant passing through the Underground City, which was perilous!

However!

Lin Lei overlooked one thing!

The route he took would pass by Ximu Mountain!

...

"Mr. Ximen, we have shared all our knowledge about the Sword Holder and the Temple with you. We held nothing back; can we leave now?"

Selina, Zhan Xifeng, and Jiang Chen had taken turns explaining the story of the Sword Holder and the Temple to Ye Xiu, and Zhan Xifeng inquired.

Ye Xiu didn’t respond immediately but poured himself a cup of tea, leisurely finishing it before speaking:

"When I arrived, Ji Hongye, the Genius Alliance Hierarch, along with the eight Great Elders, entrusted me to help avenge them on behalf of everyone in the Genius Alliance. After all, they’ve been oppressed by you for generations and have anger pent up."

Upon hearing this, Selina, Zhan Xifeng, and Jiang Chen’s muscles tightened, vigilantly watching Ye Xiu.

Zhan Xifeng asked, "Mr. Ximen, how do you plan to vent the Genius Alliance’s anger?"

Ye Xiu smiled coldly, crushing the teacup in his hand.

Three shards from the teacup shot out with thunderous speed, piercing through the throats of the Clan Leaders while they awaited Ye Xiu’s answer to Zhan Xifeng’s question.

Of course, given their strength, such injuries weren’t lethal; even if limbs were severed, they’d regenerate in minutes.

So!

As the shards pierced their throats, Ye Xiu acted, delivering three swift punches.

Three Fist Gangs hit their hearts, invaded their bodies, extinguishing their Primordial Spirits in an instant.

"You must die!"

Only then did Ye Xiu give his reply.

His state of mind and appearance were no longer as calm as before, now filled with boiling blood, overflowing resentment, and a vicious expression.

After all, these three were the actual culprits behind his mother’s and grandparents’ deaths.

Unfortunately!

These were just avatars!

"I’ll collect a bit of interest from you now; the rest of the account will be settled later!"

Ye Xiu snorted coldly.

He began absorbing the totems of Lin Lei, Selina, Zhan Xifeng, and Jiang Chen’s avatars...

"Hmm?"

Just after absorbing them, Ye Xiu suddenly saw a group of people rushing from afar, led by Lin Lei’s avatar.

"What’s this idiot trying to do? Is he thinking of bringing such a small force to avenge me?"
