Chapter 407 - Dark World In Elation (1/2)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Even as Chen Fan prepared to meet up with Yang Qinhu, a secret message started to spread among the elites of the Dark World. The message came in the form of a stack of grainy photos.
These were the picture of Fruit of Embryonic Essence that Yang Qinhu obtained from Din Fuhai.
“Heavenly Water of Life? It has to be it! A full pond full of it. It’s an unlimited supply of Heavenly Water of Life!”
The elites of the Dark World quickly arrived at the conclusion as soon as they saw the pond of running water in the frigid tundra.
The news had made the Dark World sizzle with excitement.
From Western Europe to North America, from the Balkans to the Baltics, countless organizations and Overlords of the Dark World focused their attention on Siberia, the snow-covered tundra that was an enigma to everyone.
“The biggest bottleneck restricting the number of Extraordinary Ones was the lack of Heavenly Water of Life. With the spring, we can create as many Extraordinary Ones as we want and the entire Dark World would soon be under our control.”
One leader of an underground organization slammed the table and announced during a secret meeting.
Although his gusto had won a lot of approval around the table, a few others had chosen to re-examine the situation with a more rational mind. “If we have gotten the message so would other more powerful organizations such as Crimson Wings, Hong Sect, Dragon Hall and Square Tower. Are we going to compete against those Super Overlords at the top of the Dark Roll? Even if we succeeded, could we withstand the ensuing besiegement from the entire Dark World?”
The voice of reason quickly quelled everyone’s enthusiasm.
He was right. The news had already gotten out so many Super Overlords would already be on their way to Siberia. Therefore, for most ordinary Extraordinary Ones, It was not worth it to risk their lives just so that they could add more members to the ranks of their organization.
Most mid to small size underground organizations started to think better of their actions, but the superpowers of the Dark World remained unfazed by the challenge.
“We have lost Diamond Buck, Zoro the Thunder King, and Lei Qianjue, we need to secure the spring while we still have four Super Overlords left. Let me lead the Dark Moon to claim the Spring for our sect. With the Heavenly Water of Life, our sect will recover from our losses of three underbosses in just a few years.”
A scrawny Chinese man with hair slammed the table and announced with gusto.
He was Hu Zongxiu, the Wind Lord.
There were only two underbosses in the Hong Sect who were of Chinese descent, and he was one of them. He perfected both Martial arts and his awakened power and merged the two to create a combat technique called “Vayu’s Blades,” which allowed him to summon sharp blades from the tip of his fingers amidst the heat of combat. As an Extraordinary One, his power was no less than a Grandmaster.
“In less than a year, we lost three underbosses. I wager there are going to be many powerful Super Overlords vying for the same thing, perhaps even the top warriors on the Dark Roll would show up as well. Are you sure you can defeat Zeus the Thunder Lord?” Olga smirked. Her hair was the color of burning coal, while her round pupils were two s.h.i.+ny b.l.o.o.d.y moons.
“Olga, you have escaped Chen Beixuan by kneeling before him and begging. You have lost your right to speak up at the table. So be quiet.”
Hu Zongxiu cracked a cold smile and then flung back at her.
“f.u.c.k you!”
Olga slammed the table and rose to her feet. Fire suddenly came up around her body and her eyes turned so red that blood seemed to ooze out of them. She locked her fiery gaze onto Hu Zongxiu as the temperature in the room cranked up instantly.
Capitulating to Chen Fan was the most embarra.s.sing thing she had ever done. She couldn’t let Hu Zongxiu rub it in and add insult to injury.
Hu Zongxiu snickered and spread out both arms to summon two deadly wind blades. These Wind blades swirled around his arms, turning them into the deadly forearms of the praying mantis. Hu Zongxiu slightly bent both legs and arched his back like a wild cat ready to pounce on its prey.
“That’s enough.”
The old man sitting at the head of the table pulled a taut face and said: “Stop it, both of you. We need solidarity during such a trying time!”
Seeing their leader was angry, both Olga and Hu Zongxiu slowly sat down at their seats as their special powers abated.
Although the old man at the head of the table was an ordinary mortal, no one dared to defy his order. His authority was supported by an incredible power that was the foundation of the Hong Sect’s dominance over the Dark World. Even if all the underbosses were dead, as long as that incredible power lived on, the Hong Sect would still thrive.
“I approve of Xiuzong’s plan. But the Dark Moon had sustained heavy casualties during its fight with White Tiger and Red Sparrow I can only let you take half of its men. Be careful, the Hong Sect can’t afford to lose another underboss. Don’t make things difficult for me while I report back to the Elder.” The old man said solemnly.
“Yes.”
Hu Zongxiu, Olga and Romon all replied in unison.
Such meetings carried out in many other organizations of the Dark World. In order to claim the Heavenly Water of Life, they all sent in the best of the best. Those who ranked high enough on the Dark Roll didn’t even waste time on preparation as they departed for Siberia right away.
In a few days, Siberia would see a gathering of powerful Overlords all around the world.
All the while, Chen Fan was oblivious to the actions around him.
After the spring festival, he a.s.signed Yu Qin and the Cang Dragon Bodyguards to his parents and grandpa’s house and then he took a plane to the Outer Guan Region by himself.
