I have an endless army of warriors, rampaging across the heavens.

Chapter 149 Regretful? Serves you right for regretting it! [Major revisions complete!]

"We have no grudge against each other, so what exactly does the Underground Society want?"

Yao Shu frowned slightly.

Zuo Jing shook his head: "We had no grudges against each other, so why did you spy on the alliance's top secrets and bribe the alliance's generals? Why did you tamper with the fruit? Why did you have Wen Xiao and others follow the alliance members?"

Zuo Jing's expression was displeased: "Yao Shu! You have repeatedly and maliciously spied on the Iron Shovel Alliance. Do you really think you can just pretend nothing happened?"

spy!

buy!

Drugged!

track!

Which of these incidents is legitimate?
Zuo Jing asked himself honestly, and he knew that the Iron Shovel Alliance had cooperated in a proper and orderly manner, without ever overstepping any boundaries.

"Yao Shu!"

"You chose it!"

Zuo Jing sat down and looked at Yao Shu: "Enough with the nonsense. If you don't want to redeem Wen Xiao and the others, then there's no need to talk. If you do want to redeem them, the alliance needs to see your sincerity."

Yao Shu's expression was cold and aloof.

She had never been treated like this before.

But now the situation is indeed beyond our control. There were a total of twenty-six of them who went down to the mortal realm this time, but the younger sister had already disappeared and was probably playing around somewhere.

If Wen Xiao and the other nine were to be lost at this point, Yao Shu would only have sixteen people left, including herself, greatly weakening her strength. As a result, Yao Shu would be unable to complete many of her plans for the lower realm and the immortal mountains.

Absolutely not!

Yao Shu quickly replied, "Whatever conditions the underground meeting has to offer, just name them. As long as it's within my power, I will do my best."

That's fine.

Zuo Jing said, "It's very simple. All you need to do is for City Lord Yao and his fellow disciples to obey the alliance's orders for the next six months and fight wherever they are told. After six months, Wen Xiao and the others can be released."

Yao Shu coldly replied, "How can I trust you?"

Zuo Jing replied without hesitation: "Our Iron Shovel Alliance values ​​reputation far more than you do. Don't worry, as long as you don't play any tricks, we will definitely return your silly junior sisters to you safely afterward."

Yao Shu still didn't believe it: "Your level isn't qualified to represent the Underground Society in negotiating with me. Let Yang Dingtian come and talk to me personally!"

Zuo Jing said, "The alliance has long since authorized me with full authority. I have the final say on this matter."

talking.

He took out a three-inch-long handy shovel from his pocket, held it in his hand, and shouted "Big Big Big!" and it immediately turned into a five-foot-long shovel.

"Seeing the shovel is like seeing the leader of the alliance."

"Now can I trust you?"

Zuo Jing increasingly felt that his fabricated "Iron Shovel Alliance Sacred Relic - Twelve Iron Shovels" was too ingenious. Sure enough, it came in handy right now. Any assassin could use their portable "convenient shovel" to achieve a reverse promotion. Trying to insult or make things difficult for someone by saying "not high enough level" was absolutely out of the question.

Yao Shu's expression turned cold upon seeing the iron shovel.

This wasn't the first time she'd seen it. In fact, she'd seen it before when Yin Tianzheng, the White-browed Eagle King of the Iron Shovel Alliance, came to discuss cooperation last time; he also had an iron shovel in his hand.

Although Yao Shu was also very curious at the time, she refrained from taking action in order to explore more details about the Iron Shovel Alliance.

But this time——

"Since the underworld has been ruthless in the first place, don't blame me for being unjust in the second."

"come!"

Yao Shu shouted, "Take him down!"

Immediately, people stepped forward and captured Zuo Jing in a flash. Facing the twelfth level, Zuo Jing, possessed by a death warrior, had no power to resist and could not even escape.

He was captured on the spot.

The shovel was taken away.

Holding the shovel, Yao Shu felt nothing special. She shouted "Big Big Big," but the shovel didn't change. She shouted "Small Small Small," but the shovel still wouldn't respond.

No!

Sure enough, it doesn’t work.

Yao Shu had anticipated this. Although neither the White-browed Eagle King nor Cheng Yaojin seemed to use any force or blood to make the shovels grow bigger or smaller when they took them out, she had long suspected that there must be a secret method involved, and it couldn't be as simple as just making them "bigger and bigger" or "smaller and smaller".

Do you really think casinos are rolling dice?
Now I tried it and it was true.

Yao Shu walked up to Zuo Jing and said, "Tell me how to use the shovel, honestly disclose the details of the underground society's high-ranking members and where Wen Xiao and others are being held, and I might spare your life, or even take you into Fushan City."

Zuo Jing laughed loudly: "Seeing the sacred artifact is like seeing the Alliance Leader! Yao Shu, by trying to seize the sacred artifact, you have already committed suicide!"

Yao Shu sneered: "You think you can kill me from underground?"

Zuo Jing said, "Whether I can kill you or not is hard to say, and you wouldn't believe me even if I told you. But killing a female Descendant prisoner with a plum blossom birthmark on her shoulder is as easy as turning my hand!"

boom!
Yao Shu's expression changed: "Yao Xi!"

She and her sister Yao Xi both have a plum blossom birthmark on their shoulders.

The two women never wear off-the-shoulder clothing, a fact unknown to outsiders, except to their closest family members.

How did Cheng Yaojin find out?
How would the underground know?
That's right!

It must be that Yao Xi has already fallen into the hands of the underground society.

Yao Shu angrily said, "If you dare to hurt Yao Xi, I will never let you get away with it!"

Zuo Jing shook his head: "Don't say such useless threats, it's beneath you! Let's talk about how to redeem Yao Shu first. Can you have your men release me now?"

Whoosh!

Yao Shu tried to remain calm and gestured to the two people on either side of her: "Let him go!"

Sakyo is free again.

He immediately added, "Give me back the sacred object!"

Yao Shu gritted her teeth and threw the shovel over again: "Now you can tell me! What exactly do you want!"

Zuo Jing took the shovel, made a cut on his hand, stained the shovel with his blood, and then casually threw it on the ground.

What do you mean?
"What do you mean?"

Yao Shu frowned.

Isn't this iron shovel a sacred object from the underground society?

Is this how you're going to waste it?
Aren't you afraid of blaspheming our ancestors?
Why should I throw a tantrum at her?
A bad feeling rose in Yao Shu's heart.

Zuo Jing replied, "We already discussed how to redeem them, but I see that Lord Yao has no sincerity, so there's nothing to discuss."

Yao Shu hurriedly said, "Okay! I agree! For the next six months, I will follow the orders of the underground society and fight wherever they direct me. I hope that after six months, you can keep your promise and release Yao Xi. Also, I need to see Yao Xi now to make sure she is alright!"

"You ah you!"

Zuo Jing laughed immediately and said to the two Descendants who had just restrained him, "Sun Ru, Duan Hong, you saw it too. A younger sister is still a younger sister. When Wen Xiao and the others were captured, Yao Shu didn't care about their lives at all, but when her younger sister fell into enemy hands, she compromised without saying a word. Think about it! Doesn't it chill your heart?"

Sun Ru rebuked, "Stop trying to sow discord!"

Duan Hong was also furious: "Senior Sister Yao Shu and Senior Sister Yao Xi have a deep sisterly bond, how dare you slander them!"

Zuo Jing looked at the two women and shook his head, saying, "I was originally going to provoke you and was prepared to agree to Yao Shu's compromise. But you two disregarded Yao Xi's life and death and still came to provoke me. Now I've decided that Yao Xi should just die!"

"you!"

Sun Ru and Duan Hong were stunned.

What does this mean?
Blaming Yao Xi's death on them?

If they can't sow discord between them and Yao Shu, then they'll try to sow discord between Yao Shu and Yao Shu.

How could this person be so wicked!

Yao Shu shouted angrily, "Enough!"

She glared at Zuo Jing: "I've already agreed to the underground society's demands, what more do you want? Do you really intend to act impulsively?"

Zuo Jing shrugged: "Why should you be able to turn your back on me whenever you want, or agree to something whenever you want?"

He also has a temper: "Now, I won't agree!"

Ignoring Yao Shu's anger, he pointed to the blood-burning shovel on the ground and chuckled, "A sacred relic is no longer sacred when it is burned with blood. The other eleven shovels in the alliance all sensed it. This is the signal I sent. As long as I don't return within a day, Yao Xi will die!"

"You dare!"

Yao Shu was furious and enraged.

Undeterred, Zuo Jing moved closer to her, his face almost touching Yao Shu's delicate, slightly angry face, and asked her, word by word, "So, will you let me leave or not?"

Yao Shu gritted her teeth in anger, her gums almost breaking: "As a representative of the underground society, how can you act impulsively?"

Zuo Jing pointed at the blood-red iron shovel on the ground and grinned, "I represented it before, but I don't anymore."

He chuckled, "Yao Shu, you made the choice!"

Yao Shu stared into his eyes: "What do you want to get rid of Yao Xi? I swear here and now, if anything happens to Yao Xi, I will fight the underworld to the death!"

"Stop saying such useless things!"

Zuo Jing took two steps back: "If you want your sister to live, you can kneel down, kowtow, and beg me!"

"presumptuous!"

Sun Ru shouted.

Duan Hong hurriedly said, "Senior Sister, don't fall for it! He's deliberately humiliating you!" Zuo Jing sat down with an air of nonchalance, having long since disregarded life and death. He pointed at Duan Hong and smiled at Yao Shu, "Duan Hong is right. I am deliberately humiliating you. Whether you do it or not is up to you!"

Zuo Jing was actually quite angry.

Despite possessing an unlimited number of elite soldiers, he still honestly sought to make money peacefully. He specifically sought cooperation with Yao Shu and other descendants, and even offered generous terms, including five hundred elite soldiers and the position of the Beast King.

But what did Yao Shu and others do?

Yao Shu was relatively good; she only spied on, bribed, drugged, and followed people, but hadn't actually taken any real action.

However, the other arrivals were generally arrogant, and they would seize the high-ranking members of the Iron Shovel Alliance and torture them severely. The Iron Shovel Alliance's sacred artifact, the Twelve Iron Shovels, had already been destroyed thirteen times during this period, and this was the fourteenth one in front of Yao Shu today!
'The Descendants!'

'Too arrogant!'

In their hearts, they are high above, and their purpose is to conquer the lower realms, not to cooperate with any lower realm forces or be taken over by them.

then.

They were all resentful, restless, and dishonest, showing great disrespect to the Iron Shovel Alliance. They resorted to all sorts of despicable means, including kidnapping, murder, and torture, leaving no stone unturned, which greatly angered Zuo Jing.

That's how it is!
Zuo Jing asked them to cooperate; if they didn't want to cooperate, they should have just said so.

but.

They agreed, but then all sorts of strange things happened. What does that mean?
There were even other descendant forces who, if they didn't agree, simply refused. What kind of nonsense is this, detaining people? And what kind of nonsense is this, stealing the 'Iron Shovel Relic'?

"I want to make money through peaceful means."

"But none of them take me seriously."

Are you trying to force me to flip the table?

Zuo Jing looked at Yao Shu: "Will you kneel or not? If you don't, I'm leaving! I'm still waiting to go back and enjoy Yao Xi properly! To be honest, although this girl is shrewish and vicious, at least her appearance and figure are exactly the same as Lord Yao's. One experience, two enjoyments, not bad at all!"

"you wanna die!"

Yao Shumei's eyes widened, but she dared not make a move.

Zuo Jing's face darkened, and he shouted angrily, "If you don't want your sister to be violated, then get on with it!"

Yao Shu gritted her teeth, gritted her teeth, and gritted her teeth again—

Pfft!
They actually knelt down!

"Senior sister!"

"Sister!!"

Sun Ru and Duan Hong exclaimed in shock, their heartache and anger reaching their peak.

Zuo Jing didn't expect Yao Shu to be able to go this far. After all, there was really no sisterly affection to be seen from Yao Xi. Yao Xi had already sold her sister out completely.

But Yao Shu was willing to kneel down for her.

"it is good."

"Since you are so sincere, I will give you a chance."

Zuo Jing didn't want to kill them all; he had plenty of enemies now. He immediately instructed Yao Shu: "You have seven days to kill Zou Yan of the Zanghong Sect. I don't care what difficulties you have. If you fail to bring his head to me by the deadline, I guarantee your sister will be killed in one night!"

Saffron Gate!
One of the three major forces among the first batch of arrivals consisted of fifty-two arrivals, all of whom were at the twelfth rank. They had only been in the lower realm for a short time when they clashed head-on with the Underground Society.

Over the past few months, Zuo Jing has killed six members of the Zanghongmen, while the Zanghongmen, led by Zou Yan, has also killed more than six thousand of their own.

The two sides have long been locked in a life-or-death struggle.

The conflicts, grudges, and hatred within it are unparalleled in the lower realm.

Yao Shu made it clear that she would not fight with the Zanghongmen, and Zuo Jing did not force her to do so. Their cooperation was limited to hunting the Beast King in Kuangshan.

now.

Yao Shu was the first to provoke them.

Zuo Jing, of course, wouldn't hold back either.

Don't want to fight the Crimson Sect?

I insist that you go and fight!

Seeing Yao Shu's icy expression, Zuo Jing smiled and asked her, "Do you regret what you did back then?"

I respect you!

You don't respect me!
Regret?

You deserve to regret it!
……

Will Yao Shu ultimately assassinate Zou Yan?

Or perhaps, whether she can kill Zou Yan.

Sakyo was completely offended.

This is just a casual move.

It would be best if we could kill him.

It doesn't matter if they can't be killed.

"I never rely on others."

Zuo Jing was confident; after all, he was almost at level eleven.

……

The Great Yan dynasty had long since perished, but people still habitually used the reign title 'Da Ye'.

The year is now the twelfth year of the Daye era.

The arrival of the invaders stirred up an even greater storm in Great Yan. They seized territory, divided up land, and quickly took over the dominant position that had been vacated in Great Yan, becoming the de facto rulers of Great Yan.

Other local forces paled in comparison.

They either surrender or defect.

Either retire.

Either perish.

There is no third option.

But this does not include underground meetings.

The underground society remains active on the highest stage, showing no fear even when facing the forces of the invaders.

among them.

In particular, the clash between the Underground Society and the Crimson Gate made the world, especially the newcomers, fully realize the unprecedented influence of the Underground Society in the present world.

……

"'If you can't deal with the invaders, can't you at least deal with their lackeys'?"

"Brother!"

"These are the original words of the Purple-Robed Dragon King, one of the four great Dharma Kings of the Underground Society."

"The Underground Society has announced that any individual or force that joins our Crimson Sect will be subject to indiscriminate and priority attacks by the Underground Society."

"Once the news was released, the thirteen large and small native forces in Dingjiang Prefecture that had already surrendered, as well as more than forty native martial artists of the sixth rank and above, either died or fled, leaving no one alive."

In Dingjiang City.

Among the leaders of the Crimson Gate, sitting at the head of the table was a bewitching young man named Zou Yan. He was the youngest son of the Crimson Gate Master from the Upper Realm. He was precocious and self-assured, and it was said that he had already cultivated to the fifteenth level, making him a supreme being among supreme beings.

Although his cultivation level was suppressed to the twelfth level during this descent to the lower realm, his combat strength was still top-notch.

Moreover, he was accompanied by fifty-one fellow disciples, all of whom followed his lead.

Zou Yan!

With absolute power in hand, they can deliver a devastating blow.

Since descending to the mortal realm, they have disregarded even the sacred lands, let alone the underground society.

but.

Zou Yan never expected that while he could disrespect the Holy Land in the lower realm, the Holy Land's experts couldn't come down to fight him. But when he disrespected the Underground Society, they truly slapped him across the face.

Three basic techniques for meeting someone—

The first blow landed on the descendant themselves. The Crimson Gate sent a total of fifty-two descendants to the lower realm this time, including Zou Yan. In the past six months, the Underground Society had seized opportunities to kill six of them when they were alone. This would be insignificant in the upper realm, but in the lower realm, it was a devastating loss!
The second blow was delivered to those who were affiliated with the Underground Society. Known for its ruthlessness and its strict enforcement of orders, the Underground Society's reputation for being vicious spread far and wide. As a result, many forces and martial artists who had previously been affiliated with the Crimson Gate scattered like birds among monkeys. They dared not follow the Underground Society's lead and hurriedly packed their bags and fled.

after all.

In the Great Yan of today, three-legged toads are hard to find, but two-legged demigods are plentiful. What difference does it make who you serve as a dog? Why risk being killed and wiped out by the Underworld Society and insist on following the Crimson Sect?

how?

Is the Sanghongmen (a type of brothel) the father?
Even if he's my father, I won't follow him or want him!

Just a few months.

The Saffron Gate was targeted and isolated.

Despite being among the top three in terms of the number of visitors, they are the worst-developed group.

The terrifying influence of the underground society was now fully revealed.
