Chapter 995: The Tragic Five

Long Qian brought Radom to an office in the office building of the flour mill.

Radom asked in confusion, "What are you bringing me here for?"

"I am ordered to imprison you alone!" Long Qian said coldly.

Radom realized that Long Qian’s attitude towards him was different from before. He squinted his eyes and fixedly stared at Long Qian, asking:

"Long Qian, are you planning to betray me, betray the Dragon King’s Palace?"

Long Qian did not answer but instead asked, "Do you remember the conditions under which I joined the Dragon King’s Palace, became one of your Eight Attendants, and pledged loyalty to you?"

"Of course I remember!" Radom said, "I promised you that once I unify the world, I will give you and everyone in the Genius Alliance freedom and also protect your descendants forever."

When saying this, Radom was extremely sincere, as if using his eyes, expression, and tone to tell Long Qian that he was speaking from the heart.

"If I rescue you from Dongyang Village, Qin Qing won’t spare the Genius Alliance. In that case, even if you unify the world in the future, how can you fulfill the promise?"

Long Qian asked, staring unblinkingly at Radom.

Radom opened his mouth, suddenly realizing that his thinking had been led astray by Long Qian.

In that case, there was no need to pretend anymore!

"Even if everyone in the Genius Alliance dies out, you still must rescue me!"

Radom, with his schemes failing, fully exposed his true side and said:

"Don’t forget, Long Qian, I know your biggest secret. If you don’t rescue me, I’ll tell Qin Qing that you are the Dragon God Totem Inheritor. Then, to get your Dragon God Totem, Qin Qing will kill you and massacre the Genius Alliance."

Looking at Radom’s ugly face and hearing his threats, Long Qian was not angered. Instead, he laughed, looking very relaxed.

"Thank you!"

Long Qian bowed to Radom.

Radom: "???"

I threaten you, yet you thank me?

"Before now, I was still hesitating whether to leave the Dragon King’s Palace. Your words have helped me finally decide."

Long Qian said with a smile:

"From now on, I am no longer a part of the Dragon King’s Palace, not your attendant, not Long Qian. I want to be myself again, to be Chen Yuxin."

Radom furrowed his brows, hardly believing his ears. He had already failed with schemes and threats against Long Qian, yet Long Qian suddenly decided to leave the Dragon King’s Palace.

Asked: "Aren’t you afraid I’ll reveal your secret to Qin Qing?"

Long Qian grabbed Radom’s neck and coldly said:

"Do you think I will give you the chance to speak?"

Radom showed no panic nor fear but smiled and said:

"There’s a secret I didn’t tell you. Although this is my true self, I also have two clones. Of course, one died last night in the Genius Forest, but my most powerful clone is with the other six of the Eight Attendants. Even if you kill me, you cannot stop me from letting the world know your secret."

Indeed, just as Ximen the official had judged... Long Qian asked:

"Your most powerful clone is your eldest son, Yaqi, isn’t it?"

"You..."

Radom’s expression finally changed, shocked, asking:

"How, how did you know?"

Crack!

Long Qian did not answer, twisted Radom’s neck, and destroyed Radom’s Primordial Spirit.

Then her cold expression immediately exaggerated, frantically pacing around the office:

"What to do? If Radom leaks my secret, I will become the target of everyone’s attack, what do I do? What do I do?"

Seek help from Ximen the official?

Except for Radom and the other six of the Eight Attendants, only Ximen the official knows her secret!

No way!

Ximen the official isn’t the leader of Dongyang Village, if he shelters me, it could bring disaster.

And if Qin Qing targets me, the people of the Genius Alliance certainly won’t stand by, then Qin Qing might eliminate the Genius Alliance along with me.

I can’t involve Ximen the official and the Genius Alliance!

"The only option is to escape!"

Long Qian immediately activated the Earth System Totem, fled out of the building, into underground, escaping Dongyang Village, escaping Lonely Cloud City.

Qin Qing had already told her how to enter and exit Lonely Cloud City’s trapping formation.

"This girl still has a kind heart!"

Long Qian just left when Gong Jin, who had been eavesdropping outside the door, opened the door and walked into the office, hauling Radom’s body to the workshop where Ye Xiu was absorbing the totem.

Originally planning to inform Ye Xiu about Long Qian’s ’escape’.

But upon seeing Ye Xiu exhausted to the point of sweating and pale, a picture of being drained, Gong Jin held back.

But his heart couldn’t help but complain: the young master obviously could absorb it one by one, but chooses to save effort by absorbing so many people’s totems at once, ending up exhausted afterward.

What’s the point!

"Who killed Radom?"

Ye Xiu actively inquired, with a quick gesture knocking out 42 living Eighth Realm War Gods.

"Here’s the thing..." Gong Jin hesitated for a bit, then recounted Long Qian and Radom’s conversation along with Long Qian’s ’escape’.

"She worries that staying in Dongyang Village will harm not only me but also the Genius Alliance."

Ye Xiu chuckled, shook his head, and said:

"She has strong abilities, so we don’t need to worry about her for now. What I’m most concerned about now is the whereabouts of Selina, Zhan Xifeng, Jiang Chen, and Stephanie’s true selves, as well as Radom’s Dragon God Totem clone and the six attendants."

Gong Jin looked embarrassed: "It’s my intelligence work that was inadequate, I’ll send someone to find them now."

"No need!"

Ye Xiu stopped him, saying:

"Selina and the others are too strong; unless I handle it myself, anyone finding them would be at risk of losing their lives. Once I finish my work, I’ll think of a way to lure them out."

...

At this moment, Selina, Zhan Xifeng, and Jiang Chen were dejectedly walking in the forest.

The once highly esteemed Clan Leaders of the three Judicator Families now looked like drowned rats.

"Someone’s here!"

The three almost simultaneously heard footsteps, quickly leaping into the nearby trees, holding their breath and focusing as if facing a major enemy.

Soon, two bedraggled figures appeared in their sights.

Lin Lei?

Xuan Zheng?

Selina, Zhan Xifeng, Jiang Chen were stunned for a moment, as they knew Lin Lei and the artificial intelligence should be in the northern part of Forest Island currently battling with the Demon Clan army. How could Lin Lei and Xuan Zheng be here?

And looking so miserable!

At this moment, they heard Lin Lei’s angry voice come through:

"Darn it, I, a state ruler claiming to be wise and powerful, brilliant beyond compare, was actually fooled by artificial intelligence. It abandoned me and ran off."

Selina, Zhan Xifeng, and Jiang Chen exchanged glances; it turns out the tragedy wasn’t limited to the three of them; Lin Lei and Xuan Zheng were worse off.

This is the darned tragic quintet!
