On the other side.
At the foot of a mountain in Great Xia.
Senluo sat on a tree stump, severed by logging, holding a map and observing it. No one knew what he was doing.
As he became engrossed in the terrain on the map.
Jingle bells.
His phone rang.
Senluo picked up his phone and looked at it. Only his calm eyes, visible beneath his mask, flashed with light. He seemed somewhat surprised that it was Yanjing calling. He knew that for the next Dragon Locking Well plan, Yanjing needed to cultivate Huahua quickly to become a high-level combatant in the Senluo Division.
Logically, Yanjing should not be calling him now, as he had no mission. Furthermore, all high-ranking members of the Senluo Division knew that Senluo generally disliked being disturbed unless it was for an urgent matter.
With a sense of doubt.
Senluo answered the call:
"Yanjing, why are you looking for me?"
"Senluo, I have something to tell you."
Yanjing did not waste time and immediately recounted how Huahua was ambushed by ghost forces in Sakura Country and was nearly killed.
It could be seen that.
Just as Yanjing reacted upon learning the news, Senluo's eyes also glinted with coldness, and his brow furrowed beneath his mask. He responded in a deep voice:
"How is Huahua?"
"She's fine. Although she was injured this time, my support arrived in time, and she didn't die. Moreover, her strength has improved significantly. Senluo, what do you think about this? Currently, it's a critical juncture for the Dragon Locking Well plan. Should we pretend this didn't happen and settle the score later, or what should we do?"
Although Yanjing asked, Senluo could clearly hear the immense anger in Yanjing's voice. Even if he proposed settling the score later, Yanjing would likely not let it go and would probably take revenge himself.
However.
Compared to the previous handling of Zhang Wei, where he opted for a later reckoning, Senluo's attitude this time was different, his gaze sharp:
"Even if it's a critical moment, this matter cannot be let go. Zhang Wei's matter could be dealt with later due to the Wei Dao Division, but this one cannot. The Senluo Division is not so weak as to be attacked for merely approaching the Divine Shrine and then choose not to retaliate."
As soon as he spoke.
Yanjing, far away in Sakura Country, also nodded and said chillingly:
"Senluo, I think the same way as you. For the Dragon Locking Well plan, I can choose not to act against Zhang Wei for now, but I cannot tolerate what happened to Huahua this time. I joined the Senluo Division not to be timid. If outsiders can step on us and we don't retaliate, then what's the point of the Senluo Division?"
Senluo nodded slightly, not angered by Yanjing's words, and simply replied:
"Send out the notification to convene an emergency meeting of the Senluo Division for a vote. If other high-ranking members do not agree, then you and I will act."
"Alright."
Yanjing nodded.
...
This day.
Thursday. To outsiders, it was an ordinary day, perhaps just KFC's Crazy Thursday. But for the Senluo Division, it was different. On this day, all the high-ranking members of the Senluo Division received notifications for an emergency video conference regarding a major event.
It was known that the Senluo Division always acted meticulously, with plans arranged in advance, and rarely convened emergency meetings unless there was a significant situation.
Because of this.
Upon learning of this, whether it was the Fatty still playing League of Legends, or the Tailor, Zombie, and other high-ranking members, they all showed a serious expression and immediately joined the video conference. Even Yin Yang and the Gardener joined the video conference.
Soon.
In a hidden online video conference, all twelve high-ranking members of the Senluo Division, along with the returned Fengmen Zombie, appeared.
Following this.
Senluo did not waste time and asked Yanjing to state the reason for convening the meeting.
It could be seen that...
Whether it was Zombie, Fatty, or Mute, all the high-ranking members frowned upon learning of the matter. Fatty even slammed the table and said:
"This matter cannot be let go. We are the Senluo Division, but at the same time, we are also a force of Great Xia. Although we have caused damage to Great Xia for our goals, we are still people of Great Xia, and we will never allow ourselves to be looked down upon by foreign forces."
Tailor also followed suit:
"I agree with Fatty's idea. If other foreign forces had acted, I might have chosen to endure it. But this is Sakura Country, and they acted against Huahua simply for approaching the Divine Shrine. This is not just an insult to our Senluo Division; it is trampling on our identity as Great Xia."
Fengmen Zombie also exuded surging corpse energy:
"In my era, Sakura Country was merely a small country that paid homage to our country. Now, they dare to bully us. This is a great humiliation!"
As he spoke.
Mute also gestured on the video:
"Ababa ababa (Fight back! If you don't fight back, I'll go fight myself! This is bullying Huahua? This is stepping on our Senluo Division's face, stepping on Great Xia's face! I can't stand it!)"
Stutterer was so angry that he wasn't stuttering anymore, and even nodded and said:
"Fight, must... must fight!"
Bug spoke:
"Although our Senluo Division has caused damage to Great Xia, in the end, Great Xia is also where we grew up. Sakura Country acting against us at the Divine Shrine is clearly aimed at past invasions. If we don't retaliate, and only seek revenge later, the Senluo Division will become a joke, and Great Xia will be a joke along with it."
Paper Man, with a pale face, coughed and said:
"Count me in. Don't exclude me, this injured person. I am injured, but I can still fight a ghost from Sakura Country."
Embroidered Shoe's beautiful eyes flickered as she said:
"It will take time for Jeanne to provide personnel. I don't have anything to do for now, so count me in."
Old Man Willow stroked his beard and said:
"Although this old man is not human, this old man is also a tree that grew in Great Xia. Attacking the cats of my Great Xia is no different from cutting the roots of this old man."
Without exception.
Regarding Huahua's near-death experience in Sakura Valley, all the high-ranking members of the Senluo Division voiced their opinions.
Even.
Yin Yang, who usually didn't speak much, and Gardener, who didn't like to interfere in the affairs of the Senluo Division, spoke up.
Yin Yang glanced at the high-ranking members in the video and simply said:
"Fight back."
These three words clearly conveyed Yin Yang's thoughts.
Gardener's leisurely laughter echoed in the video:
"The biggest ghost force in Sakura Country, hehehe. Do you want to compete with me in numbers? Senluo, tell me, how many people do you need? I can put aside my own matters for now and provide you with ghost personnel."
Facing the words of the high-ranking members.
Senluo scanned each high-ranking member in their videos and nodded:
"Then let's vote. Who agrees to fight back."
As soon as he spoke.
The usually disparate high-ranking members of the Senluo Division responded in unison:
"I agree."
"Seconded."
"Seconded."
"Sec..."
The high-ranking members of the Senluo Division unanimously approved!
Seeing this.
Senluo nodded slightly and said straightforwardly:
"Then let's act. Let the outside world know the consequences of angering our Senluo Division. Tailor, you will be responsible for this matter, coordinating and assembling the personnel of the Senluo Division to eliminate the forces of Shuten-doji in Sakura Country!"
On this day.
The Senluo Division launched its first large-scale operation.
On this day.
All the high-ranking members of the Senluo Division embarked on their journey to Sakura Country.
On this day.
The Hundred Ghosts Night Parade belonging to Great Xia was taking shape.
