None of the people present were willing to admit that others were better than themselves.
With the Immortal King sitting here, it can be said that he suppresses all chaos.
Who dares to say they’re不服气?
The underground organization even dared to add his name to the bounty list; they truly have no intention of living anymore.
Many people immediately started watching like a spectacle, waiting to see when the King of Immortality would make his move.
An American on the stage laughed and said, “Your Excellency doesn’t really need to be in such a hurry. The issues we’re discussing today include how to deal with underground organizations. But the main concern is how to handle the Hunters.”
“Indeed,” Yang Ba said, nodding towards the King of Immortality. “I suspect that no one can escape if you decide to kill them. You don’t actually need to get involved yourself to obtain that person’s information. These bounties aren’t only on you; several members of our Celestial Deity Organization also have bounties on their heads. After this meeting, we will take direct action as well.”
The Undead King hummed in agreement and said, “Fine. Then you all go ahead and deal with them. If you can’t handle someone, meet me at Fanggang.”
“Then I’ll say thank you,” Bai Yang said, rising to bow with a grateful smile on her lips.
This is not merely an expression of gratitude, but also an effort to bridge the gap between the Celestial Deity Organization and this King.
By saying so, although not a single word of flattery was spoken, the Immortal King was subtly praised in a way that was hard to notice.
Baiyang was once an ordinary person too.
After decades of surviving in the apocalyptic world, he was no longer the ordinary person he used to be.
Although not a savvy person by nature, one can almost become one through experience.
His purpose is that, in case of a future conflict in Fanggang, he would not want to offend a king.
But he didn’t know that the Undead King was actually created by Lu Yu.
At this moment, the American on the stage raised his hands and said, “Everyone, please don’t rush into these matters yet; the most urgent issue now is still the Hunter.”
An American in the audience nodded immediately and said, “The key issue now is that the identity of the Hunters has always been a mystery. These individuals possess special abilities, appearing and disappearing without a trace. It’s utterly impossible to capture one alive. Everyone has offered substantial bounties—rewards in the hundreds of billions are already out there. Yet, with so many warriors worldwide unable to locate even a single Hunter, it’s easy to see that this approach simply doesn’t work.”
One person asked, “So now that you’ve gathered us all here and called this meeting, does it mean you’ve found a solution?”
The American on the stage immediately shook his head with a bitter smile and said, “If there were a way, we wouldn’t have had to call you all here. These people are too cunning; we’re simply at a loss! We’ve brought you all here precisely to figure out a way together to deal with the Hunters.”
Someone in the audience expressed dissatisfaction, saying, “Since you have no solution, why did you call us here? This is just wasting time. With less than two years left until the apocalypse tide countdown, can we really afford to waste time here?”
“In order to strengthen their own power, some people disregard the entire world—they don’t have to worry, but we can’t afford to do the same.”
The leader of an organization sneered coldly, his tone extremely sarcastic.
Boom!
As soon as the leader finished speaking, the Undead King had already launched a fierce attack.
No one could see how the Immortal King moved.
Raging, boundless pressure pressed directly down on the leader’s head.
Then, the Undead King appeared right behind the leader’s head, and his hand came to rest on top of the leader’s head.
“Oh!” The leader didn’t expect the Undead King to react so strongly.
I didn’t mention any names earlier, but I was indeed being sarcastic about Lu Yu and the Undying King.
But I didn’t expect the King of Immortality to be so fierce.
It was impossible for this leader to hide.
He was forced down to the ground as the King of the Undead pressed his hand directly onto his head.
Bang!
The flames of the King of the Undead flared up in his palm, engulfing the screaming leader in a blaze.
All around was silent.
Even the few companions near the leader dared not move.
“I, I didn’t mean you!” The leader, now terrified, screamed weirdly within the flames, begging loudly for mercy.
The Deathless King’s voice turned cold as he said, “I don’t need to know who you’re talking about; your tone alone is enough to anger me. Do you feel threatened by my presence, so you show me such disrespect? Remember, someone like you, a mere ant, has no right to utter even a single ‘no’ in front of me. The only reason you’re still alive is because I’m too lazy to kill you. If I wanted you dead, I wouldn’t need any reason!”
The king’s overbearing manner made all the ordinary people present feel a chill in their hearts; they couldn’t help but glance at the other kings nearby.
Is this the king?
Do they see themselves as having absolute power over life and death, with all living beings appearing so insignificant in their eyes?
Many people recognize this leader.
This person is very powerful. Although he is not yet a King, he is definitely moving in the direction of becoming one.
Now he already possesses the strength to challenge Wang Zun alone.
But now, facing the Undying Five, he was nothing!
After being engulfed by flames, he still struggled with all four limbs, showing astonishing recovery ability.
The flesh and blood that had been destroyed by flames rapidly regenerated.
In that case, it becomes even more painful, and even wanting to die is difficult.
The hand of the Deathless King was like a great mountain, clamping down on the man’s head. No matter how he struggled, he could only let out cries of anguish.
There was complete silence all around, and not a single person showed sympathy for him.
This is a very large organization in Australia, second only to the military in terms of power.
This time, being able to come here and sit together with all these top military leaders shows that they already have considerable power and influence.
But before the king, it was utterly insignificant.
The King of the Undead allowed the man to keep screaming in agony as the entire hall filled with the smell of charred flesh.
No one dared to utter a single word.
They could only watch in silence. The representative of the Australian military was very dissatisfied but had no choice but to keep his mouth shut and dared not utter a single word.
Wang!
Such power is something they dare not provoke.
Only after the last bit of flesh and blood of the leader had turned to ashes did the Undead King cease his actions, returning to his seat as if nothing had happened.
The American on the stage remained quite calm. At this moment, he merely coughed slightly and then continued, “I hope everyone can stay calm. At a time like this, we should avoid fighting among ourselves.”
The Americans said this.
However, no one dares to challenge the King of the Undead; this statement is particularly aimed at those envious individuals.
You know very well that you don’t have the capability, so don’t act recklessly—it could easily cost lives.
After the surroundings fell silent, the American continued, “I’ve already made myself clear just now. The reason I’ve gathered everyone here is to discuss countermeasures. If anyone has good suggestions, please speak up. We don’t have much time left before the Doomsday Tide arrives, and at this moment, there’s no need to distinguish between enemies and allies anymore.”
The heavily armored figure said in a deep voice: “Everyone understands this principle, but the problem is, how do we identify them?”
A cold voice said, “These people dare to offer a reward for the king’s head. They must have something to rely on, or they wouldn’t dare act with such boldness!”
At this moment, a British military official turned to Bai Yang and said, “Mr. Bai, I’ve heard that a high-ranking member of your organization possesses the Clairvoyant Star Soul, one of the Nine Great Mutated Star Souls. If your organization is willing to have this person intervene, I imagine it would make tracking down these Hunters much easier, wouldn’t it?”
“That’s right, I’ve heard of it too, and I know a little about it.”
“Mr. Bai, why didn’t you mention someone like this earlier?”
Immediately, quite a few people looked at Bai Yang with dissatisfaction.
Baiyang smiled and said, “You all only know that he can foresee the future, but you don’t realize that his foresight consumes his life force. The more powerful the person being foreseen, the more life force it consumes, and it might even lead to death. Moreover, the conditions you’ve given are too vague—we don’t even know who we’re supposed to foresee. Searching among billions of people for perhaps only hundreds or dozens is undoubtedly like looking for a needle in a haystack. Do you have any idea how much life force would be consumed for such foresight? Furthermore, once the target is set and the foresight begins, it cannot be stopped, so this might very well lead to that person’s death. Without the support of hundreds of thousands of life forces, accomplishing this is simply impossible.”
Baiyang paused here and said, “Moreover, don’t think that such foresight is easy to achieve; otherwise, why would we even need to attend this meeting? We could simply let that person foresee their own safety and well-being, couldn’t we?”
A king nodded and said, “Bai Yang is right. the Star Soul of Precognition isn’t omnipotent. If things go badly, one might even lose one’s life. Therefore, it shouldn’t be used unless in a crucial moment. Long ago, there was a person with the Star Soul of Precognition who, despite possessing the strength of a king, attempted to foresee a more powerful force. In the end, even after sacrificing his life, he still couldn’t see the future. Some have also said that the only person in this world capable of foreseeing everything is the one who grants the King Without a Crown the Star Soul of Precognition.”
Some people glanced at Lu Yu casually, but eventually said nothing.
A person snorted coldly, “If we don’t even use the Premonition Star Soul, are we supposed to join forces and conduct a massive search? That would waste even more time.”
At this point, the Sky-Sundering King spoke up: “However, I do have a method, though I don’t know whether all of you dare to use it. Or rather, whether you’re willing to pay the price.”
“What method? Hurry up and tell me!”
“Yes. Why not say something if there’s a way?”
“Now, what price wouldn’t I pay to eliminate these hunters?”
“It means getting rid of them so everyone can feel at ease.”
When the Heaven-Sundering King spoke these words, many people immediately perked up and turned their gazes toward him.
The Sky-splitting King said earnestly, “The target of the Hunters is to possess a nascent form of the powerful King-making skill. This is because they, too, are individuals who aspire to become Kings—people who might not have exceptional talent, but who have gained strength through unique abilities or extraordinary encounters. We don’t need many; as long as we can secure the help of just one person, we can use that person’s foresight ability to obtain information on all the others.”
“That’s right, this is a good idea.”
Many people’s eyes sparkled with anticipation, waiting for the Heaven-Splitting King to continue speaking.
“However, this method will require Lu Yu to step forward.” Lie Tianwang looked at Lu Yu, his expression a mix of smile and seriousness.
At this moment, all eyes turned to Lu Yu at once, and they secretly thought: Could it be that Lu Yu’s King-making ability is about to reveal its initial form!
Lu Yu’s heart stirred, and he looked at the Sky-splitting King, saying, “You speak first. Why exactly do you need me to get involved?”
“You Fanggang possesses a great deal of things that others don’t have, such as armor, star artifacts, and even evolution liquid and enhancement drugs—all of which are extremely tempting. If Mr. Lu were to contribute just one star artifact, I believe without saying much, there would certainly be people willing to betray their companions.”
As the Sky-Sundering King spoke these words, everyone present suddenly understood.
That’s pretty good.
They were so focused on figuring out how to hunt down the killer, but they forgot that luring the killer out could also be the best approach.
The advantage of having many people was indeed demonstrated.
It’s quite a cost to just use one star artifact to lure out the hunters.
Lu Yu said, “This is a good idea; no one can resist a star artifact. But if I manage to lure out a Hunter, how will you compensate me for my losses?”
