Chapter 285 King: Find him, at any cost!

Within one's sight, or in a place where the coordinates are known in advance.

King Nathan or Nathan Guard can use the permissions granted by the 'Tree' to teleport themselves, and even others they come into contact with, to that location.

Elijah knew where Nguyen Phuong was.

Therefore, he could directly take King Nathan to that place.

However, the place was now deserted.

Even the chessboard on the ground hadn't been cleaned up.

On the chessboard, the red side's advisors and pawns are still in their original positions, but the black side's general has already crossed the Chu River and Han Border, directly killing the red side's king!
King Nathan knew a little about the rules and origins of chess.

According to the rules, the generals and commanders do not meet face to face. Whoever exposes themselves to the other without any obstruction will be killed by the other.

But if we follow the legend that chess originated from the Chu-Han Contention...

As the commander-in-chief, Liu Bang had absolutely no chance of defeating Xiang Yu, who was a general, on his own.

Even if there aren't enough people blocking your way, once your position is exposed, Xiang Yu will cut you down and chase after you!
After all, Xiang Yu, the overlord of this world, was an extraordinary person with exceptional talent.

The bravery of Yu is unparalleled throughout the ages!
The girl narrowed her eyes slightly.

If, by any means necessary, Nathan Island is destined to be swallowed up and destroyed...

Then why should I continue to be bound by those ancient vows?
If we perish now, we will die; if we launch a grand plan, we will also die. Since we are going to die anyway, is it not better to die for our country?

Since death is inevitable either way, why not let the name Nathan stir up another storm in the world?
On the world stage, let's draw a magnificent chapter that belongs to Nathan himself!

Instead of hiding in this unknown, remote corner, silently and humiliatingly being devoured piece by piece by Behemoth.

Nathan's so-called "Way of Nature" is a chaotic and free style that respects the strong and allows everything.

"king"

Elijah's voice made the madness in the girl's eyes subside back into her heart. She turned her head to look at him, her eyes asking.

"Judging from the remaining scents and traces here,"

Elijah pointed to the ground and the marks around him.

There should have been at least three people here just now. They left not long ago, but there are no traces of their departure around the area.

"Is that so?"

The girl's gaze returned to the chess piece, her voice revealing neither joy nor anger.
"Pass on my order: utilize all available resources to search for these three individuals at all costs!"

"Yes, King."

Elijah bowed and accepted the order, watching King Nathan turn and leave, his gaze also falling on the chessboard.

He didn't immediately set off to pursue them. Instead, he took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it again, and remained silent for a long time, letting the smoke swirl around him.

No one knew that the one who broke the golden branch and started this 'Trial of the King' was actually Nathan Guard.

As the 'Crown Prince'.

He could also clearly perceive the various information and fluctuations that the young queen could sense from the 'tree'.

As one of Nathan's guards, he was quite intelligent and could be considered a wise man.

When Behemoth attacked the 'marketplace', he already realized that the destruction of Nathan Island was irreversible.

As the person in charge of liaising between Nathan and the Inhuman forces in the United States, he knew better than anyone else on the island that Nathan Island had no chance of winning against Behemoth!

But he was also well aware of his companions and the king's character.

Even if they were aware of this outcome, they would certainly not choose to surrender, but would instead become martyrs for civilization without hesitation!
He sacrificed his life to the 'tree' he had sworn to follow, and went to destruction with Nathan.

Elijah was desperate.

He didn't want to see Nathan Island perish, nor did he want to see his comrades, with whom he had shared life and death, sacrifice themselves in vain.

He was powerless to reverse the former.

The latter, however, still offers some room for maneuver.

One martyr is enough.

But now, Elijah discovers that things seem to have taken a new turn.

He bent down, picked up the cold, black 'sho' piece from the ground, and casually played with the unremarkable piece while dialing a phone number.

There is another guess, which Elijah did not mention to the king.

Of the three people present, one whose identity can be confirmed is 'Seventeen'.

There was another person he actually knew, and he even knew who was behind him.
"Elijah? Why are you suddenly contacting me? Is there something you need?"

A clear, cool, and slightly magnetic female voice came from the other end of the phone—

Yaoxing Society Qu Tong.

If Qu Tong wants to cause trouble on Nathan Island, she will eventually need to find a high-ranking figure on Nathan Island to cooperate with her.

Especially since Nathan Island is almost entirely enveloped by the divine tree's perception, making it impossible for most outsiders to avoid being detected. Moreover, Nathan Guards possess the special privilege of instantly teleporting to a target's side, regardless of distance, once a target is successfully locked onto.

"Ruan Feng, Wang Guoping, who is the last person?"

Elijah went straight to the point and asked.

There was a brief silence on the other end of the phone.

Qu Tong looked at the work report that Wang Guoping had just sent to her on the computer.

The three of them had already left the island and were on the boat. Mo Yu acted very directly, and there were no disturbances along the way.

Qu Tong completely ignored the deaths of the two 'Paradise' supernatural beings.

Elijah is only now calling, and with his questions...

It's not hard to guess that, for reasons unknown, Mo Yu has attracted Nasen's attention.

But the two sides probably never even met.

Otherwise, given Mo Yu's current 'prestige' in the world of supernatural beings, coupled with his ever-present and highly recognizable black Taoist robe, he would be a formidable figure.

Anyone with a brain would be a fool.

A simple search will reveal his identity.

Moreover, she has already gotten the person she wanted.

For her, Nathan Island had lost its value for further investment of energy and attention.

Elijah only knew that she existed and the mysterious force she represented, but he didn't know that she was an alias of the Shining Star Society.

Therefore, she could simply hang up the phone and completely sever ties with Nathan Island.

However… Qu Tong couldn’t help but recall how interested Mo Yu was in Nathan Island in the car that day…

It seems best not to sever the Elijah connection so easily...

I can't tell you that person's identity directly.

However, I will relay your inquiry to him truthfully and will also give him your contact information.

What happens next depends on that person's own wishes.

I'll send you another message at most; that person has already left the island.

Although these words seemed to say nothing, Elijah could guess a lot from Qu Tong's attitude alone:
"Add one more thing: he should tell me in advance when he visits the island next time."

"I can't do it,"

Qu Tong refused without hesitation and hung up the phone as soon as she finished speaking.

He got up and walked to the French windows, gazing at the boundless blue sea outside, a rare hint of confusion appearing in his scarlet eyes.

Ruan Feng was not only one of the few living people who had comprehended the Six Treasures Immortal Thief, but also one of the few who knew the secrets of that time.

Through him, Qu Tong might be able to bypass the restrictions used to silence her and learn the full story of what happened back then.

Furthermore, the Six Treasures Immortal Thief can greatly help her perfect her cultivation furnace, bringing her one step closer to her ultimate goal.

Mo Yu...

A peerless genius who is one in a million in every aspect, whether it is innate talent, physical constitution, comprehension, or temperament.

His current level of cultivation and true combat power are even subtly on the same level as the Old Celestial Master.

Even the company 'Nadutong,' which has always held a strong stance against domestic supernatural individuals, felt somewhat constrained and had no choice but to turn a blind eye to it.

More importantly, this guy might have more of the Eight Extraordinary Techniques than I do, and he's mastered them all to a very high level.

She hesitated, wondering whether she should give him the real, complete version of the Double Hands.

Qu Tong rubbed her slightly throbbing temples.

She couldn't help but think of her 'younger brother'—Ma Xianhong—to whom she had poured so much effort and hope.

I thought I could easily manipulate and control it, but now the number of times I lose control is becoming more and more frequent.

Perhaps... it won't be long before the 'younger brother' who once depended on her so much will completely break free from her control as the 'older sister'.

It can only be said that people with exceptional talent are not easy to control.

But ironically, even with the divine secrets refined to perfection, she barely managed to master them, despite her talent.

However, they lack any creative ability; at best, they merely imitate and copy Ma Xianhong's existing achievements.

As for Mo Yu, based on the various intelligences Qu Tong possessed and Ma Xianhong's high praise for him, his talent in the art of divination is probably no less than that of Old Ma.

Moreover, because he also possesses many other means, in terms of creativity, he is even superior to Old Ma!

Whether it's to speed up the plan or to ensure stability, Qu Tong would prefer to bring Mo Yu onto her side.

"Sigh, this is really getting more and more of a headache..."
