Lord of Illusions City
Chapter 460 The Controller Appears!
Dugu Tianfeng looked earnestly at Qing Cang and said,
"Although I don't yet know what your mission is, judging from what I know of the Remnant Souls, for you to value it so highly and commit so much to it, it must be a matter of life and death for us, right?"
"Yes!"
Qing Cang nodded.
"Then speak,"
Dugu Tianfeng said. Since the person with the highest authority in this base was already here, there was no need to change locations. All that was needed was to clear out some people!
As for the giants of other bases and the Alliance Council?
Dugu Tianfeng felt it was better to listen first and then decide. He had the power to do so, and within this base, only he could make this decision. No one else, whether it was the heads of the Four Great Clans or Hu Tao, dared to make this decision without first seeking instructions.
"Dugu-daren, do you think… should we consult the council first?"
Just as Dugu Tianfeng ordered some people to be removed from the training grounds, and was about to have Qing Cang begin, Liu Xialai suddenly spoke up, his face looking rather tense.
Seeing him, Dugu Tianfeng remembered that Qing Cang had mentioned the matter was related to the Liu family. He gave him a cold look and said,
"No need. Speak now. I will bear all consequences! You better shut your mouth! I wasn't consulting you; I was informing you!!!"
After speaking, he turned to Qing Cang again:
"Qing Cang, you can begin. I guarantee, anyone who dares to interrupt you before you finish, or act against you, my Avengers Alliance will fight him or his family to the death!"
"Hiss…"
Dugu Tianfeng's words shocked everyone. No one expected him to dare say such harsh words, and in front of so many people.
This way, even if someone had ideas, they could only suppress them, because since Dugu Tianfeng had said it in front of so many people, he would definitely do it, or he would be slapping his own face, wouldn't he?
"Good! Then I'll speak. Actually, this matter, everyone here except for one family, will benefit from hearing it. At least, you won't be completely destroyed!!!"
Qing Cang sighed and looked at Liu Xialai.
Liu Xialai's face was contorted. He wished he could kill Qing Cang immediately, but he didn't dare to act.
With Dugu Tianfeng here, he had no chance of winning at all. His danger sense even told him that if he acted, there would definitely be a huge crisis.
But if he didn't act, and allowed Qing Cang to say what he wanted, his family… would probably be in trouble!
Liu Xialai desperately thought about how to get through the crisis, because from Qing Cang's expression, he was sure that he had sufficient evidence. No matter how much he denied it, he wouldn't be able to get away with it.
After all, the other party had been investigating for hundreds of years. Without sufficient certainty, he wouldn't have stood up now. Otherwise, wouldn't the sacrifices and efforts of the past few hundred years have become a joke?
Liu Xialai actually wanted to leave now, because listening or not was meaningless to him. He was certain that Qing Cang wasn't bluffing, but really had enough evidence.
Moreover, the matter he was talking about was what his family had been doing for the past few hundred years. He never imagined that there was an eye in the dark, watching them for hundreds of years.
Now that he thought about it, Liu Xialai even felt that the disappearance of the Remnant Souls was for the sake of that matter that their family was carrying out. Otherwise, why would they have fought so desperately when the Devourers descended that time, dying wave after wave, still charging madly!
According to the previous records of the Duoluo world, in the previous descents of the Devourers, although the Remnant Souls had always been quite strong, and the main force in blocking the Devourers, they had never been so crazy.
So, Liu Xialai now felt that a huge shadow was slowly covering their Liu family, and once the shadow completely covered them, their Liu family would enter a state of eternal damnation.
But in the current situation, because of Qing Cang's words, everyone was suspicious of him, and even the other three great families were intentionally or unintentionally wary of him.
If he wanted to leave, he probably wouldn't be able to. Dugu Tianfeng would definitely not agree, but staying here… after Qing Cang said everything, he would still have a lot of trouble.
Just as Liu Xialai was desperately thinking about how to resolve the crisis, Qing Cang slowly began to narrate. This mission had been passed down for hundreds of years, with a dozen or twenty generations participating. If Qing Cang started from the beginning, he naturally wouldn't have been around at that time.
But when Qing Cang narrated, he used the first person, as if he had been there at the time. And after his long narration, everyone finally learned a shocking secret…
"Actually… our enemies are not only the Devourers, but also a group of people. They are slightly weaker than the Devourers, but still very powerful. They are enemies of the Devourers, but they are also our enemies. The saying 'the enemy of my enemy is my friend' does not apply to them!"
Qing Cang's opening shocked everyone, because they had never known that besides the Devourers, there was another race comparable to the Devourers, also eyeing them covetously?
Li Chenzhou had not been driven out. Although he was not from this world, he possessed evolution potions and technological weapons, and the military even invited him to be an instructor.
And the main thing was that Dugu Tianfeng had not said he wanted to drive Li Chenzhou out. When he ordered people to be cleared out, he only glanced at him, but said nothing.
If he didn't speak, who would drive Li Chenzhou away? The military was asking him for help, and the other three great families also planned to get some trading shares from Li Chenzhou in the future. Dugu Tianfeng didn't mean to drive him away, and the only Liu family that might have spoken was still thinking about how to solve their own problems. How could they care about Li Chenzhou's affairs?
So, Li Chenzhou stayed, listening to Qing Cang's narration with everyone. And as soon as he heard Qing Cang's opening sentence, his heart stirred!
He said there were two enemies. Coincidentally, in his world, he also knew that humanity had two enemies, one was the Devourers, and the other, Li Chenzhou guessed, should be that group of guys who called themselves Controllers.
Although the instructor had said that the Controllers actually wanted to destroy the Devourers as well, Li Chenzhou would not therefore think that the Controllers would be good friends of humanity.
Coincidentally, Qing Cang's first sentence was close to his understanding, so Li Chenzhou felt that the other enemy he was talking about must be the Controllers…
