Chapter 554 - Chapter 554 Sky Sand City (2/2)

Before long, the entire Sky Sand Cave had descended into chaos.

Those who had previously relied on the various deputy tower masters for business had been uprooted by the patrol teams. Their assets, along with all kinds of equipment they possessed, were also confiscated; even some of the naturally gifted superpowered individuals who worked for them had their magnetic fields forcibly stripped away, turning them into ordinary people.

Once the streets had become peaceful once more, Lin Chuhe quickly scrambled to find Chen Yu with two people in tow.

“Sect Leader Chen, the rebellion within the city has been completely quelled. Our tower master wishes to invite you over to discuss the specifics,” Lin Chuhe said urgently.

Chen Yu didn’t say much and followed Lin Chuhe back up the Core Tower.

In less than half a day, a revolutionary change had taken place: the protective nets between the floors had been dismantled, and even the protective shields had disappeared without a trace.

The superpowered individuals, who had previously been confined like prisoners, were now afforded corresponding freedom. Only some special researchers still had to stay within closed environments.

When Chen Yu arrived at the top floor, Xu Linjun had already been waiting there for a long time.

“Sect Leader Chen, I’m terribly sorry for the alarm! From now on, I am the true master here, with the authority to decide the fate of everyone. I have a document here that I hope you will sign,” Xu Linjun said apologetically.

Chen Yu took the document and glanced over it, only to find it was the deed for the merger of all assets of Sand Point into the Xuanqing Sect.

According to the terms of the contract, Sand Point would cease to exist from then on, and all personnel here would be under Xuanqing Sect’s command.

Chen Yu exhaled a heavy breath and handed the contract back.

“These terms are too unfair for you. I think Sand Point doesn’t need to merge into the Xuanqing Sect completely—we could just sign a mutual cooperation agreement instead,” he suggested.

Xu Linjun appeared somewhat helpless and quickly pulled Chen Yu aside.

“Sect Leader Chen may not be aware that there is a Sky Sand City sixty kilometers from here which has always maintained economic interactions with Sand Point. To some extent, a lot of Sand Point’s industries’ operational rights lie there,” he explained.

Chen Yu’s brow furrowed slightly; it seemed the former deputy tower masters had sold out quite a few of Sand Point’s industries for their own benefit.

If the Xuanqing Sect were to cooperate directly with Sand Point, they couldn’t avoid dealings with Sky Sand City.

What Xu Linjun could do was hand over all the industries of Sand Point he could control, to Chen Yu.

In this way, they could use the influence of the Xuanqing Sect to confront Sky Sand City.

“I’m aware of that place. It’s said to be the largest private city in the Sahara Desert!” Chen Yu mentioned nonchalantly, seemingly undisturbed by the city’s reputation.

Surprise showed on Xu Linjun’s face: “Sect Leader Chen, please do not underestimate that city. Their strength is even greater than the Knights of the Round Table we faced before,” he warned.

Chen Yu nodded, taking out a pen and paper from nearby and writing down a series of numbers.

“After I leave, you call this number. Someone from Xuanqing Sect will come to handle the handover. My two friends will stay here for now,” he instructed. Stay updated with Novgo

Xu Linjun’s eyes widened in shock: “Where are you planning to go?”

“To Sky Sand City,” Chen Yu replied, his expression extraordinarily calm, as if he were referring to a trivial destination.

Before the others could react, his figure had already flickered out of the Core Tower.

Everyone present was terrified; they knew exactly what kind of place Sky Sand City was, and Chen Yu’s abrupt departure could mean danger.

Not daring to delay, Xu Linjun hurriedly dialed the number Chen Yu had left behind.
