Chapter 1039: Leader in Action!

“Handle the remaining people and get ready for Nine Dragons City!”

Bai Xiaofei and Fang Ye watched Illusion Sword successively take over five cities in just less than ten hours, demonstrating absolute efficiency. Moreover, most of this time had been spent on the road and not the takeovers.

However, the Illusion Sword members didn’t show much joy about it. On the contrary, the ten leaders all flew toward the final target city with solemn expressions.

The reason why Nine Dragons City was placed last was not only because it was the farthest, but also, more importantly, it couldn’t be won with just one or two teams. The city lord of Nine Dragons City was a nine-aperture Exquisite Rank puppet master!

Although a nine-aperture Exquisite Rank meant one was doomed to never advance further in their life, they were still the peak under Legend Rank. Gaining strength by sacrificing one’s potential was not as pathetic as everyone would imagine.

Moreover, at the end of the day, Illusion Sword was but a group of Grandmaster Ranks.

“What do you think?” During the break, Bai Xiaofei looked at Fang Ye with great interest.

“It will be a war of attrition. Whoever fails to hold out will die,” said Fang Ye with a serious expression. He had heard about Nine Dragons City, a city built on a huge mineral vein whose city lord occupied the best cultivation resources in the area. He not only had a large number of experts working for him but also was unfathomably strong himself.

This would undoubtedly be a tough battle for Illusion Sword.

“You’ve seen everything you wanted to see. There’s no need for them to take this risk. I think you already know that the best outcome is mutual destruction. You don’t want them to lose their fighting capacity right now, do you?” said Fang Ye after a short silence.

“And here I was wondering how long you could hold it in. So, what are you going to do now?” Bai Xiaofei chortled.

“So you set me up, huh?!” Fang Ye’s expression instantly sank upon knowing he had unknowingly fallen into Bai Xiaofei’s ‘trap.’

“You are the leader of Illusion Sword, it’s incomplete without you. If you help them, it’s not a violation of my agreement with them,” said Bai Xiaofei. “Of course, if you feel that you can’t win either, I will personally act. From the information we have on this city lord, there’s nothing he can do to me in a fight.”

At Bai Xiaofei’s teasing, Fang Ye let out a long sigh. ‘Personally act?’ You obviously just wanted to watch a show!

“Forget it, I haven’t had a good exercise in a long time. He’ll be my warm-up.” Fang Ye accepted his fate and started mobilizing his origin energy.

“They will have started fighting by the time you arrive. Let me give you a hand as a friend,” Bai Xiaofei said and placed his hand on Fang Ye’s shoulder. Through Huskie’s Mark and with Purple Luan’s Teleportation, Fang Ye appeared next to a team captain in the blink of an eye.

“Head?! Why are you here?!” The team captain looked at Fang Ye in shock.

Fang Ye shot him a glare. “Or else I should just watch you guys seek death? Inform the others that I will take command from here on.”

The team captain smiled from ear to ear. “Gotcha, Head!”
