BXBX NOVEL Chapter 647 Command.
Chapter 647 Command.
Shi Lang found it hard to believe because, without fear, there was no obedience or total loyalty. However, this organization was not exactly a brotherhood unless the people were mindlessly loyal. The Higher-ups must adopt some hidden means to keep the people under a leash.
Shi Lang did not talk much and arrived at the palace\'s main hall under a maid\'s guidance. Yu Xiedi was gazing around with great interest. Shi Lang could not temper her mind and said, "Xiao Yu, remember what I told you about having strength over riches?"
The young girl immediately broke away from the charm of vanity, and her eyes shined. She nodded and said, "I will be careful from now on, Master."
Shi Lang nodded and sat down on a chair beside her. There were a few people present in the hall. They were almost all in the Immortal King Realm. However, Shi Lang did not feel out of place, nor did the people look down on him. On the contrary, they were curious to understand who was this kid who bought along a tail.
Shi Lang did not say anything but waited patiently. He closed his eyes and meditated. Yu Xiedi observed him and followed his actions. She closed her eyes and began to meditate. These past few days, she has seen Shi Lang take on packs of wolves and other beasts, which impressed her greatly.
The valor of a hero slaying swarms of beasts. He was strong, and she wanted to be like him. He walked into the prison and broke her out bravely. The demon who terrorized her could not even hold a candle against him. She wanted to be like him. He was not overly arrogant but a calm fish who knew which bait to take and which to avoid.
He was a complete survivor, and she needed a survivor. After a few minutes, the people in the hall turned their heads to look at the doorway on the side. Shi Lang opened his eyes. He looked at Yu Xiedi and smiled a bit. This girl loved to follow him in all the aspects she could. She had developed a habit of meditating whenever she had some free time.
The terran stood up and followed the gazes of the rest of the experts. Soon, a middle-aged man with a dignified aura walked over. Shi Lang narrowed his gaze and found that this man was at the peak of the Immortal Emperor realm. After meeting people like Lie Wang, the sect master of the Dragon Sword Mountain, or Tian Long, the leader of the dragon army, he had somewhat learned how to discern the realm of the people.
The spirit energy fluctuations from the body of this guy were close to minimal. If someone did not know the identity and looked at him from a distance, this man would seem to be in the realm of a simple Qi-gathering cultivator.
Shi Lang sighed as he thought about when he could break through. Although the spiritual roots of lightning had blessed him with a higher battle prowess, the advancement of the realm was equally tough, too. He did not know if it was a boon or a bane for him. However, he understood the principle of making the best out of what he received.
The middle-aged man arrived in the center of the room. He addressed them and said, "Thank you for your keen interest in the task. I hope you all understand that this matter is of utmost importance, and we should not give them a chance to slip away."
Shi Lang watched silently. He was young and weak. It was not his place to speak just yet. The city lord continued and told the people about his strategy. Shi Lang heard and could not help but furrow his brows. After he was done, the City Lord said, "If Fellow Daoists have any advice, please step forth."
The people exchanged glances and shook their heads. Shi Lang waited, but none of the people stepped up. He did and said, "City Lord, I would like to say a few things."
His voice attracted a lot of attention. The people were surprised and in disbelief. None of them expected Shi Lang to speak amongst them. One of the older Immortal Kings said, "Young man, is this a place where you should be talking?"
Shi Lang did not mind him and clasped his fists. He replied, "Senior, if you all think the words I have to say are useless, then I will apologize to you all and leave the city palace."
The people were again speechless, and they did not expect this young man to have such a bold proposition. Even though he said he would willingly apologize and bowed a bit, this gesture only made the people look at him positively. The people admired this strong character.
The City Lord was also impressed, saying, "You can speak what you have on mind without worry."
Shi Lang nodded and said, "The feasibility of your strategy against the enemy to reap fruit is not high. If the Immortal Kings were to attack the place from four sides, there would be some fish that escaped the net. Since we will fish in the troubled waters, why not lead the current towards the net?"
The people were confused, and Shi Lang continued, "City Lord must have some people skilled in the Dao Of Array Formations."
The City Lord nodded and said, "I understand your idea, but we cannot enlist those people to help. The Wang Family already has a defense formation with a higher level than what my people can do. It would be nothing but futile."
Shi Lang smiled and said, "We do not need them to make an array that can overpower the Wang family. However, we need an array to Isolate them. The best way to catch prey is when they are anxious."
City Lord furrowed his brows and said, "Keep going."
Shi Lang nodded and said, "Just to kill them all does not mean that we need to be all galant. These people are associated with the dark side. They do not need to be made into historical characters. They killed those who stood behind the weak and made a fortune. It is time for their fortune to vanish along with them. We block their water, and we block their spirit energy. I would have suggested poisoning their water supplies, but that would be too sinister."
The people were surprised, but they nodded. This was completely fair. The older Immortal King chuckled and said, "Kid, you are even more cunning than a fox. Tell us, what do you intend to do?"
Shi Lang smiled and said, "Senior, we should remove the forces currently moving outside the city. The Wang Family lost an Immortal King a few days ago. So, they have people outside."
The City Lord asked, "How do you know about this?"
He was surprised to see this young man aware of something that the Wang Family had been trying to keep under wraps. Shi Lang smiled and said, "I killed that guy."
The people all turned their gazes to scrutinize him. Shi Lang said, "My battle method is slightly different from the rest, so it gave me the power."
The City Lord did not say anything, but then he said, "What do you say? How do we kill these people without glorifying them?"
Shi Lang looked around and said, "If we face the forces from the Wang Family and their guest elders, it will be too much of a risk for the people of the city, and the damage will be too much also. We should all head out to the forest. We move in teams of two and kill the Immortal Kings they have invited. This will put a rest to at least half of the Wang Family force."
The City Lord shook his head and said, "The disciples of the Wang family all have a jade life slip. If that slip breaks, the Wangs will be alerted."
Shi Lang said, "It should not be easy for one of the team members to apprehend all the Wang Family disciples while the other is fighting with the Guest Elder. Would it?"
The City Lord thought, and the rest of the Head Hunters nodded. They were experienced and were all gold plate members. They had enough skills to back them up. After all, it took them many attempts to reach a ten-task streak.
They nodded and expressed their approval. The City Lord thought about it and asked, "Fellow Daoist, what is your name?"
This question was for Shi Lang, and the way he addressed the terran as fellow daoist, it meant that he looked at him to be on the same level.
lightsΝοvel.cοm Shi Lang replied, "I am Ace."
The city lord said, "Young friend Ace, how about you lead us to deal with the Wang Family as quietly as possible?"
Shi Lang was surprised and then said, "I will do my best, Sir."
