Chapter 923 - Agreement (2/2)
Under his control, the black air currents kept on struggling, and some of them even started to tremble slightly. Qin Wang could clearly sense the surging fury coming from them.
At the next moment, two trickles of blood flowed down from Qin Wang’s eyes. With a stifled snort, he retreated repeatedly, and the space that had come to a standstill returned to normal. The myriad of black air currents came smashing down, as if wanting to tear apart all the matter in the hall.
Just then, Qin Wang brought out a ring. It was a gray ring which emitted astonishing power fluctuations. With the appearance of this ring, the air in the surrounding trembled slightly and a man’s voice could be heard.
“That’s enough, Grade. We’ll let you have the page from the Book of Wisdom this time around.”
The person who spoke was the Gray Army’s leader—Hui He.
Clearly, this person—the strongest expert in the Gray Army—was already able to control the ring’s energy from a distance of several thousand lis. Even though Qin Wang was holding onto his ring, he was able to control the powers within it. His body was also able to tap into its powers across several thousand lis, and it no longer mattered if he was wearing the ring or not.
Upon hearing that, the black air currents in the hall immediately stopped and were called back to the black human figure.
Hui He’s appearance seemed to have let Grade become a little more clear-minded, and the human figure became even clearer.
“Foolish probing,” Grade said coldly. “Once I really lose control, it’ll mean the death of several hundred million people. Hui He, don’t test my patience.”
“Haha,” Hui He’s voice rang out from the ring. “Grade, I’m worrying for the safety of the entire mankind. Do understand our pain.”
“Hmph.” Grade suddenly trembled fiercely like a black hole, calling back all the black aura into his body. He took on the form of a young man wearing black long robes and casually found a seat.
“Where are the people from the White Army? How long will it be before they arrive?”
Hui He instructed, “Give them a call and get them to hurry up. Are they possibly expecting so many of us to be waiting for them?”
…
20 minutes later, anxiety grew in the everyone’s heart. Hints of distortions and savageness kept flashing on Grade’s face like he was going to lose control of the consciousness in his body soon.
Hui He had already left, and the Gray Army was still under Qin Wang’s command. Upon seeing Grade’s situation, he immediately instructed, “Go contact the people from the White Army again. What’s wrong with them? To think that they can be late in such a situation?”
Just then, a member of the Gray Army ran over and said, “Sir, we found the White Army’s representative.”
Concurrently, the various television stations continued reporting the situation in the conference hall.
“Based on the latest information, the White Army’s representative has yet to arrive.”
“This could be the White Army expressing their discontentment. After all, they don’t have the strength to secure this page of the Book of Wisdom.”
“Professor Lauretta, the White Army has changed their commander this time around. It’s said that the new Commander, Fang Xingjian, has powers that surpass Priest Longmai’s. Does he not have the right to seize the Book of Wisdom either?”
In the broadcasting studio, a middle-aged married lady with silver hair nodded and said, “Judging from the 13 armies’ current situation, it can be said that a slight change will affect everything.
“The White Army’s influence has been considered to be in the lower ranks amongst the 13 armies. Even if they have gone through a change in commander, the effect won’t be too great.
“As for their new commander, Fang Xingjian—his strength is unknown. However, my personal inference is that he may not be as strong as everyone thinks.”
