Elder Li hurriedly transmitted a series of orders towards his trusted associates as he faked on his attempt to consolidate the barrier. His subordinate is not of a similar academy but the same vicious criminal group. The dark order.
It seems that an ever-larger conspiracy is slowly unveiling itself at this crucial moment.
'Everyone! we will soon quickly leave this group. Make sure to take the top 5 talented students. But don't take too long! we will do it in a flash. As for the rest...let them perish!'
A cold glint of light twinkled across his face as he slowly mumbled those words within the transmission.
'Yes!'
As to be expected, more than 10 voice transmissions answered back as a creak of a smile came upon his face. Finally... a traitor unearthed himself but sadly no one realizes. And no one can prevent him from implementing his plan.
The rest of the group is still battling for their life. Striving for the so-called last chance of survival. Not knowing that their strongest backer had already penalized them to death.
'I will count down up to 10 seconds! and you guys immediately go and grab as much as you can... just use the portable ring'
He once again ordered his subordinate with an even more detailed description.
'10'...
'5'...
He slowly counted down the digits while his subordinates flashed from their respective position... silently abducting some of the students into the ring.
"What!"
"Help!"
"What's the matter!"
"What's happening?!"
Suddenly a series of screams originated from behind... as a group of students was sucked in into a ring on a black-cloaked person finger. Besides him stood more than 9 people wearing the same clothes.
"Elder Kang? what's happening? why are you taking those students into the ring?"
To their surprise, Elder Fu had noticed everything that had transpired before his very eyes.
But he is extremely uncertain and still didn't put his guard up. Because he and Elder Kang had known each other for more than 50 years.
The emotion of trust is still there... deeply embedded into his heart.
"Hahaha Elder Fu... nothing! nothing!... we were doing nothing hahaha!"
Elder Kang immediately said while scratching the back of his head with his right arm.
A harmless smile emerged on his face as the look of a kind old man arose once again.
"Really? but why were you taking those students into the ring?... "
Elder Fu asked once again with a curious look...
"Hahaha Elder Fu... they were merely following my orders!"
Unawares... Elder Li rapidly flickered beside him while patting his shoulder slightly. The same harmless smile is on Elder Li's face as he recited towards Elder Fu like a close friend.
"Oh hahaha but for what?... "
Discovering that the sudden arrival next to him was his very close friend. A large smile widened on his face as he patted back Elder Li's shoulders.
"For what?"
"Hahaha Elder Li... there's no need to be so secretive about it no? hahaha?"
"Of course! of course! hahaha"
"We were doing It so that you guys can die!"
"..."
"This? what do you mean by that? "
Hearing such a sudden statement made by his close friend. A touch of skepticism materialized on his face as his eyes compressed slightly. Surely he would have caught on already... that his very close friend is no more but a cruel murderer.
"Hahaha it simply means... that you guys will be sacrificed... oh yeah as for that letter of yours"
"Here catch!"
While saying these... Elder Li deliberately snatched a silver envelope from within his sleeves and in the next second, he tosses it to Elder Fu.
"This?"
Grabbing the envelope into his palm... finally, a bad foreboding ensued within his heart as his eyes dilated in shock of actualization. His heart thumped slightly while his face turns pale white.
Seemingly not being able to believe what is happening.
"Don't tell me!!"
"Yes... have a good rest, Elder Fu..."
"Anakku Jahat."
Elder Li slowly spoke as his eyes glinted with violent killing intent. A slight red line could be detected materializing in front of his eyes as the air becomes still and stagnant.
"Those words! You are from the da-!"
*shing!*
Not being able to finalize his word...
a silver slash flashes by... passing his neck...
Creating a visible red string that slowly stretched itself as the head slowly fell off onto the cold ground.
*plops!*
Right before his death... his face was jammed with despair and grief as he had ultimately discovered the whole truth of his so-called close friend.
Elder Li motionlessly gazed towards the headless corpse as it slowly fell onto its back. The blood gushes out from the top like a fountain. Drizzling the ground with redness while some of it dripped itself on his cloak.
"Look at them... even though someone had died here and yet they still haven't noticed it. That just shows how pointless it is to continue protecting them. They are just a bunch of rubbish being piled up together."
He slowly spoke as he glanced towards the surrounding. Mocking them of their worth.
"let's go!"
"Yes!"
*Shuang!*
Suddenly a dark portal emerged in front of them as they eventually stepped through it. Disappearing like a shadow... imperceptible and efficient. Seconds later the portal gradually disappeared turning into dots of light.
As for the remainder of the group?... well.
May God have mercy on them. Let their death be as peaceful as one could. Surely the mercy of heaven would descend upon them.
