God of Pets

Chapter 818 So Ruthless
Gong Yunjian and the others spent the entire night unable to sleep, waiting for news from within the secret realm.

Taking over Ziyang City and reclaiming the resources that rightfully belonged to them was what the Gong family urgently needed.

But what the Gong family really wanted to hear was that Chen Guan and Zi Donglai had been killed.

The joint team dispatched by several organizations possesses a variety of talents, and killing Chen Guan, a seventh-level cultivator, should not be a problem for them.

The power that is invincible in the cave heaven is not so invincible in the great cave heaven.

Once it's confirmed that Chen Guan is in the Ji Family's Great Cave Heaven, those people should be able to find him or them, and kill them, since that's a team specifically organized to deal with them.

Historically, it is extremely rare for a team of nine awakened beings to be organized specifically to kill a seventh awakened being.

However, to ensure everything went smoothly, the Gong family made the most thorough preparations.

"Master... Ziyang City... Ziyang City..." Gong Xueyi, who was in charge of delivering intelligence, rushed in, stammering and unable to speak clearly.

"What exactly happened?" Gong Yunjian sensed that something was amiss.

If the Battle of Ziyang City had been a great victory, Gong Xueyi would not have been in this mood.

"The allied forces that attacked Ziyang City... were completely wiped out..." Gong Xueyi's voice trembled, his body trembled, and he was shaking all over because he knew what this meant for the Gong family.

This time, the Dongtian Legion sent out by the Gong family only numbered 60,000, far less than the number of soldiers they had when fighting in Ziyang City before.

However, these 60,000 people were nurtured by the Gong family with all their heart and soul. Each of them would be considered a top talent in an ordinary family, and many of them would be considered the pride of heaven in a large family.

They are the future and hope of the Gong family.

Once these people have grown up, the Gong family will truly enter its most glorious era.

But now, in a major battle, the Gong family's 60,000 elite troops have been wiped out. Gong Xueyi knows how devastating this is for the Gong family. Their fighting strength may suffer a significant blow, and they may even lose all competitiveness within the cave, unable to protect their existing interests.

"What did you say?" Gong Yunjian stood up abruptly, placed his hands on the conference table, stared at Gong Xueyi in disbelief, and demanded an answer in a stern voice.

He did not believe the Allied forces would be defeated, much less that they would be completely annihilated.

Ziyang City's fighting strength is indeed strong, but the allied forces are the elite of the elite, and any one of them can take on a hundred men.

Such a legion, even when facing a demon legion of the same level, could at least crush the demon legion, if not completely overwhelm it.

How could the entire army be wiped out if we attack Ziyang City now?

“Chen Guan… Chen Guan didn’t go to the Great Cave Heaven… He’s still inside the cave heaven…” Gong Xueyi’s tears flowed uncontrollably: “He annihilated 100,000 allied troops with a single sword in the Southern Heaven Kingdom, and then went to Ziyang City, where he wiped out our elite troops and the allied forces with a single palm strike… Not a single one… survived…”

“Not a single one… alive…” The members of the Gong family felt their minds go blank. Gong Yunyin slumped into a chair in a daze, as if all the strength in her body had been drained in an instant.

“It’s a trap… It’s a trap set by that bastard Chen Guan… He didn’t go to the Great Cave Heaven at all… He deliberately set this trap… to lure out those who are enemies of the Southern Heaven Kingdom and Ziyang City… and completely annihilate them… What a vicious heart… what a cruel heart… what ruthless methods…” Gong Yunjian became more and more hateful as he spoke.

Who in the Gong family wouldn't hate them? This crushing defeat has severely damaged the Gong family's foundation, and it's feared that the Gong family might truly face extinction. Furthermore, someone has broken the barrier between the Divine Continent and the Secret Realm, significantly weakening the Gong family's control over the Secret Realm. Without these people, the Gong family's interests within the Cave Heaven will likely be continuously squeezed, and they might even lose most of the Cave Heaven's resource points.

Gong Yunjian slumped into a chair, unable to vent the hatred in his heart. He hated Chen Guan, but he hated himself even more.

How could he believe that Chen Guan and Zi Donglai were the same person? Their abilities were completely different.

Although they are all very strong, and their hidden attacks are unimaginably terrifying, their hidden powers are different. How could the same person have completely different hidden powers?

Gong Yunjian now felt that he must have been blinded by greed before, which was why he fell into Chen Guan and Zi Donglai's trap and was tricked into sending so many of the Gong family's proud sons to their deaths.

"You're so foolish... Gong Yunjian... You're so foolish..." Gong Yunjian couldn't vent his frustration, and he only hated himself for falling into such a terrible trap.

"Master...something terrible has happened..." Gong Tiangang rushed into the conference room.

Seeing Gong Tiangang's appearance, Gong Yunjian's already troubled heart sank even further. He stared at him and asked, "Did something happen to Xiangqian and the others?"

“The life lamps that Xiangqian and the others left behind before they left have all gone out,” Gong Tiangang said, his lips trembling.

He was responsible for providing support within the city of Ji Family's Great Cave Heaven. Before Gong Xiangqian and the others left, Gong Tiangang lit life lamps for them, which was Gong Tiangang's ability.

When a person dies, the light goes out. If something happens to Gong Xiangqian and the others, Gong Tiangang will know immediately.

When he saw Gong Xiangqian and the others' life lamps go out one after another, he was almost dumbfounded.

"Impossible. Gong Xiangqian's team has all kinds of talents and can handle all kinds of situations. Even if they accidentally encountered the Mystic Spirit, it is impossible for them all to die there. Someone must have been able to come back alive."

“There are very few mystical spirits in the Tearful Desert, so the chances of them encountering one are slim. Besides, they already have information about the Tearful Desert, so it's impossible for them to go to an area where they are more likely to attract mystical spirits.”

"Chen Guan wasn't even in the Ji Family's Great Cave Heaven. Their target wasn't there either, so why would they have entered the desert?"

"Since Chen Guan is not in the Great Cave Heaven, there is only one possibility: they discovered Zi Donglai's whereabouts, which is why they entered the Lei Luo Desert to kill him. Therefore, Chen Guan and Zi Donglai are two completely different people."

"Zi Donglai only recently advanced to the Great Cave Heaven realm, so he must only be at the seventh level of enlightenment. He doesn't have the ability to kill a ninth-level expert. They must have encountered some accident in the Tearful Luo Desert. Could they have run into the Evil Luo King?"

The members of the Gong family were all talking at once, with most believing that Gong Xiangqian and the others had encountered some kind of accident.

After a long while, the crowd stopped talking. They hadn't heard Gong Yunjian speak, so their eyes couldn't help but turn to look at him.

But Gong Yunjian sat there silently, his face flushed with an unusual redness.

Gong Yunjian remained silent, and everyone stared at him, creating a moment of silence in the meeting room.

Someone couldn't stand the oppressive atmosphere and was about to say something when they suddenly saw blood spilling from the corner of Gong Yunjian's mouth.

"Chen Guan... Zi Donglai... you are so cruel... so cruel... pfft..." Gong Yunjian opened his mouth to speak, his mouth full of blood. In the end, he spat out a breath of pent-up anger along with the blood.
