Chapter 980: Singing Proudly Before Ming Yue's Tomb

“It’s all chaos, absolute chaos. Exactly how many have been controlled by artificial intelligence? How many nano warriors and liquid metal robots have been deployed?”

Ye Xiu surveyed the scene that had descended into pandemonium around him, his heart burdened with frustration. Previously, apart from ‘Lonely Cloud City,’ Forest Island was either mountainous or densely forested.

The location of the Three Judicator Families’ armies was precisely in a forest.

Plus, it was nighttime, making it nearly impossible for Ye Xiu to find Selina, Zhan Xifeng, and Jiang Chen.

With the chaos now, it’s become even harder to find them.

Because he had to join the battle—while others were close to having their brains shot out, he was the only one searching around, raising suspicion among even the dullest of bystanders.

“Hey, are you with the Golden Family, Zhan Family, or Jiang Family?”

Ye Xiu picked up a knife and, while fighting evenly with a First Realm War God, asked as if it were a serious inquiry.

“I am Zhan Xiao from the Zhan Family. Which family are you from? Why betray the Three Judicator Families?”

The First Realm War God ‘Zhan Xiao,’ who was fighting Ye Xiu, asked angrily.

Ye Xiu retorted instead of answering: “Where’s your Zhan Family Clan Leader, Zhan Xifeng?”

“Answer my question!” Zhan Xiao shouted angrily.

How dare you yell at me!

Ye Xiu swung a knife and cleaved Zhan Xiao into pieces, then found another opponent, preparing to continue his interrogation.

However, this person saw Ye Xiu and his expression changed drastically: “Is that you, Ximen Officer?”

Ye Xiu was taken aback: “Oh, are you controlled by nanorobots?”

The person did not answer and ran off immediately.

Ye Xiu chased after him and hit him with a Death Radius, shouting:

“Selina, Zhan Xifeng, Jiang Chen, where are you, my old friends?”

No answer came!

Instead, the nano warriors, liquid metal robots, and Martial Artists controlled by nanorobots, who heard Ye Xiu’s voice, all bolted.

“Forget it, I’ll head back to Base No. 1!”

Ye Xiu had lost all patience for searching, choosing instead to set out towards Lonely Cloud City’s Base No. 1.

As he passed by the Three Judicator Families’ encampment, he encountered the Demon Clan’s army.

“Ximen Officer?”

Upon seeing Ye Xiu, Liuli, Chi Ming Demon Venerable, and Jiu You Old Devil were taken aback.

“Why are you here?”

Ye Xiu paused to ask, suddenly recalling how the Underground City was ablaze—it was logical that the Demon Clan’s army had come seeking revenge on the Three Judicator Families.

Feigning ignorance, he asked:

“Earlier I saw flames soaring skywards from the direction of the Underground City. What happened?”

Mentioning this had the Three Great Demon Venerables grinding their teeth in rage.

Liuli explained: “It was the Three Judicator Families who set the Underground City ablaze. We originally came looking for revenge on the Three Judicator Families, but it seems they have fled somewhere.”

“So that’s what happened!”

Ye Xiu pretended to realize something, saying:

“The Three Judicator Families’ army is on the north side of Forest Island, locked in battle with artificial intelligence’s nano warriors and liquid metal robots.”

The Three Great Demon Venerables, hearing this, couldn’t bother with Ye Xiu anymore and immediately marshaled their forces to hurry toward the northern part of Forest Island.

Watching scores of Demon Clan members zoom past him, Ye Xiu grinned.

Things were getting lively now—the Demon Clan, Three Judicator Families, and artificial intelligence were all entangled in battle.

“Hmm?”

At that moment, Ye Xiu spotted a familiar face mixed within the Demon Clan’s army.

Ming Yue?

So she was still alive!

“What are you looking at?”

Ming Yue, who was sprinting along with the army, saw Ye Xiu staring at her and immediately chided him.

Whack!

Ye Xiu slapped Ming Yue, sending her sprawling: “What are you staring at me for?”

Lying there stunned, it wasn’t because this ugly guy dared to hit her, nor because her newfound power failed to keep her from being slapped to the ground by this ugly guy.

It was due to that line: “What are you worrying about? What are you staring at me for?”

It was Xuanse’s slang.

In a flash!

Ming Yue quickly analyzed the situation:

First, the ugly guy who hit her is from Xuanse;

Second, the ugly guy recognized her amid the Demon Clan’s army instantly; clearly, he knew her from before;

Third, he engaged in physical confrontation at the drop of a hat, with ample strength;

“Are you from King Island’s Red Water City?”

Scrambling to her feet, Ming Yue asked in panic, too afraid to guess that the ugly guy before her was Ye Xiu. After all, everyone said Ye Xiu was dead.

He could only be someone from Ye Xiu’s team!

“Follow me!”

Ye Xiu didn’t respond but brushed past Ming Yue, heading in the opposite direction of the Demon Clan’s advance.

Ming Yue hesitated for a moment, but in the end, she followed; she didn’t dare not to!

They left the forest!

Crossing mountains and ridges!

Eventually, at dawn, they arrived at a cemetery on the outskirts of Dongyang Village, under the jurisdiction of Lonely Cloud City.

“Why did you bring me here?”

Ming Yue asked in puzzlement.

“Kneel before this tombstone.”

Ye Xiu pointed at a nearby grave and said.

Ming Yue trembled internally, wondering if Ye Xiu was buried in that grave?

She looked at the name on the tombstone… Qi Hai.

Qi Hai?

Ming Yue was momentarily dazed, quickly understanding that Qin Qing and the people from Red Water City must have buried Ye Xiu here without using his name on the tombstone. Otherwise, Ye Xiu’s enemies would come to dig up the grave every day.

“Oh, oh…”

Ming Yue knelt quickly before the tombstone, feigning sorrow. But inwardly, she felt like celebrating the New Year; she was jubilant.

“Sing at this grave; you can’t get up or stop until I return.” Ye Xiu said, expressionless.

“Where are you going?” Ming Yue asked.

“Dongyang Village!” Ye Xiu replied, turned around, and walked off.

Heh, Ming Yue had no clue where Dongyang Village was, she’d never even heard of it.

She couldn’t help but think: Could it be that people from King Island’s Red Water City had already infiltrated Forest Island, hiding in Dongyang Village?

If so, she’d better find a way to use either the Demon Clan or the Three Judicator Families to wipe out Ye Xiu’s remaining forces.

“Ye Xiu, oh Ye Xiu, didn’t you love messing around? Didn’t you love tormenting your enemies? How’s that? Ended up getting yourself killed, huh?”

Sitting on her knees before the tombstone, Ming Yue proudly spoke:

“Your biggest mistake was not killing me; see? You’re dead, and I’m thriving; although my family is begging in Jin Ye City, they’re doing just fine.”

“I can guess with my heel that you must’ve died with regrets, serves you right, for messing around, partying endlessly, not finishing off your enemies, and ended up dying yourself.”

“But don’t worry; having known you since childhood, I know you feel lonely in Hell. I’ll soon send Qin Qing and all your friends and family into Hell to keep you company…”

“Earlier that ugly creature made me kneel by your tombstone, singing to you. Alright, I’ll sing.”

“Today is a good day, everything I wish can happen; today is a good day, opening the door to welcome the spring breeze… Alas… The lanterns outside show a warm glow, the pleasant song conveys deep emotions…”

Ming Yue happily sang aloud.

…

Dongyang Village under Lonely Cloud City is precisely Base No. 1.

Upon reaching Base No. 1, Ye Xiu immediately rounded up 8 Blood Cloth Guards and 10 old pals.

He handed out 8 Eighth Realm Totems to the 8 Blood Cloth Guards; now, aside from Leng Yue, the Blood Cloth Guards comprised 16 Eighth Realm War Gods, leaving 20;

And the 8 Seventh Realm Totems retrieved from the Blood Cloth Guards, along with 2 spare Seventh Realm Totems he carried himself, Ye Xiu distributed among his 10 old pals.

As for the Totems received from the 10 old pals, Ye Xiu gave them away to 10 random people.
