Nobody told me this wasn't a game.

General Song's expression was cold. He held his teacup and took a small sip: "Gentlemen, battle is sacred. This is a duel between Beethoven and Reed. What are you doing interfering? If you're itching for a fight, you can go and compete with Miss Mayumi or Ms. Mozart. I will ensure that your duels will not be disturbed, just like the one right now."

Why did General Song...?

Those present, seeing his indifferent expression, already understood what had happened today.

It was at this moment that they remembered—

Song Zhen has truly reached the pinnacle, becoming a fifteenth-realm adventurer!

He is the best of his time!

"Aha!"

Zuo Chang and Lu Wei are both at the twelfth realm, but Zuo Chang has all sorts of cheat codes. How can Lu Wei compare to him?

In addition, the true bow broke his geomantic technique, and his injuries had not yet healed.

After several maneuvers, he realized that Zuo Chang's blade was still threatening his life, and he had no room to dodge.

In the critical moment, he unleashed his magical power, blowing over the tables and chairs in the room in an attempt to force Zuo Chang to retreat!

But it doesn't work.

Zuo Chang was completely unaffected. With a flick of his wrist, his long sword plunged straight in, piercing through the waist of the reed.

"Ugh..."

Luwei quickly covered her wound, unable to straighten her back.

He glared at Zuo Chang and roared, "You...think carefully! I am a member of the Aloe Clan, a descendant of the Earth God! Kill me, and you won't get away with it!"

To this-

Zuo Chang smiled coldly: "The one I killed was a descendant of the Earth God."

Dragons roar and tigers howl, and the winds and clouds gather around them!

Zuo Chang unleashed a whirlwind attack, his three-foot-long frost-covered hand drawing a crescent moon. The severely wounded Lu Wei offered no resistance; before everyone in the room's eyes, his head flew high and crashed down!

A key figure in the aloe vera family died on the spot!

Chapter 322 Surrender as soon as possible

"This……"

The reed was arrogant and domineering, and he knew how to die. In Zuo Chang's opinion, even if he hadn't laid a hand on him, this guy wouldn't have lived long—he was both weak and reckless; wasn't he just asking for death?

However, to the rest of the room, this was simply unbelievable!

As descendants of the earth god, the Aloe Clan possesses combat abilities far exceeding those of ordinary adventurers.

Although Luwei is a twelfth realm cultivator, he has a unique geomantic technique to protect him. Ordinary adventurers who fall into his trap will be unable to fight if their legs are off the ground, or they will be trapped for life if their legs are on the ground. How can they possibly win?

Coupled with Song Zhen's weakness, after years of management, the Aloe Clan has become even more powerful than the king, secretly controlling everything and being the true master of 1555.

That's why Zuo Chang was so puzzled and surprised by the behavior of those people during the previous confrontation with Wang Qian.

just now.

The reeds died, so easily.

The ministers exchanged bewildered glances, unsure of what to say. Many subconsciously looked at Song Zhen, secretly thinking, "I don't believe this wasn't authorized by General Song. Could it be... that General Song has changed his ways after the passing of the deity?"

The smell of blood filled my nostrils.

A sense of crisis weighed heavily on my mind.

Everyone realized that they were in the midst of a dramatic upheaval, and the most important thing now was to decide which side to stand on.

"Good skill!"

After a moment of silence, Song Zhen spoke.

He looked at Zuo Chang with great admiration and said, "What excellent skills. Lu Wei is a top-ranked expert in the 1555 ranking, but I didn't expect him to be so inferior in front of you."

Zuo Chang remained calm: "He was injured, so strictly speaking, my victory was not honorable."

"But you weren't going all out, were you? I can sense that the power you just displayed was just the tip of the iceberg. You still have trump cards up your sleeve!"

That's true.

Zuo Chang neither bestowed a blessing nor allowed the War Demon to possess him—at this moment, the War Demon was building a fortress in the Reflecting Sea.

It believed that the place was about to witness the most unprecedented and intense war of the century, and it might even become the greatest war in the history of the world, so it was very involved.

Zuo Chang knew nothing about it, so he simply handed over all the overall construction work to it.

Seeing that Zuo Chang remained silent, Song Zhen continued, "Beethoven, you've caused trouble! Reed is an important figure in the Aloe clan. Now that he's dead, I'm afraid Lady Aloe won't let this go easily! I was the one who brought this battle together, but I can't protect too many people... You should leave! I promise I won't hinder you, but I won't help you either."

He picked up his teacup, his gaze towards Zuo Chang filled with anticipation.

"This is your feud with the Aloe Clan. Whether you can leave Fog Edge City alive depends on how tough your life is. Someone, take Beethoven back to the guesthouse."

Two guards entered through the door and said, "Mr. Beethoven, please."

Fan Kou suddenly stood up and said, "General Song, I'll escort Mr. Beethoven back."

Song Zhen looked at him: "This is not a wise move."

Fan Kou, of course, understood what he was doing: "General, I brought Beethoven here, and I should take responsibility to send him back."

Song Zhen then said, "...Since you are prepared, then go!"

Fan Kou led Zuo Chang toward the guesthouse.

Before news of the confrontation between Wang Qian and others had even broken, the streets remained bustling with people, presenting a peaceful scene.

Fan Kou walked beside Zuo Chang, and after reviewing the situation several times, he suddenly asked, "Lord Beethoven, did you... reach an agreement with General Song?"

Zuo Chang glanced sideways: "What?"

Fan Kou slowly said, "Everything today was undoubtedly General Song's plan! With the end of the God Era, he lost all his general privileges. Even with the cultivation of the fifteenth realm, he cannot rest easy! I had heard rumors that Ms. Aloe had become acquainted with the Hersey family of Community 1 and General Red Rock of Community 7 some time ago. Who are those people?"

"A powerful figure from a single-digit community! He has several fifteenth-realm supreme beings under his command! Is Aloe trying to rebel?!"

"At a time like this, how could General Song remain indifferent? It's only a matter of time before he takes action against the Aloe vera clan."

His analysis was quite insightful and to the point.

They underestimated Song Zhen's ambition.

Fan Kou continued, "I know that although your 96511 ranks low, your subordinates are by no means weak. But I haven't revealed a single bit of this information, so General Song shouldn't know. But if he doesn't know, why would he arrange for you to fight Aloe? Saying things like 'Whether you can leave Fog Edge City alive depends on how tough your life is,' isn't this deliberately provoking conflict between you and Ms. Aloe, to use you to eliminate Aloe?"

"After thinking it over, there's probably only one possibility—you and General Song reached an agreement yesterday at the guesthouse, didn't you?"

Zuo Chang did not deny it, but simply said, "You are a smart man."

Fan Kou quickly lowered his head: "Not at all, not at all. I was just worried about your safety, so I thought a little too much. I wouldn't dare to call myself clever; at most, I was just thinking of you."

Oh.

Why is that so cheesy?

Zuo Chang, seizing the opportunity, said, "Mr. Fan Kou's calculations are brilliant, and his guess is spot on. What 96511 lacks is someone as meticulous as you! General Song truly has a discerning eye to appoint you as a key minister of 1555. If there are any changes in the future, you are welcome to come to 96511. We will not bury a gem."

Fan Kou's spirits lifted!

What do you mean by "afterwards"?

Fan Kou has a long-term vision, and he is now respected in 1555. The "Chief Diplomat" is, after all, an important official.

But what about the future?

96511 has mastered the method to enter the Sea of ​​Reflections, and there are also dungeons to be visited within the Sea of ​​Reflections.

If this continues—

Even if we don't talk about eight hundred or a thousand years, even ten or twenty years from now, the advantages that 96511 has accumulated will be unmatched by any other community!

By then, it goes without saying who will rule the world, right?

Fan Kou didn't care that they were on the street. He bowed deeply and said on the spot, "Mr. Beethoven, if your side is willing to accept me, what does it matter if I give up my business? I'm just afraid that General Zuo doesn't trust me and won't give me a broad stage!"

Zuo Chang smiled slightly: "Don't worry. If you are capable, you will definitely become more than one 'diplomat' in the future. I have a favor to ask of you now - can you find a few people who have a deep hatred for the Aloe vera clan? The kind of people who wish they could eat the flesh of the Aloe vera clan alive."

Fan Kou looked up, his face full of confusion: "There are plenty of people like this in Wubian City. What's so difficult about it? You can just throw a brick on the street and hit one of them."

what?

Zuo Chang was surprised by the arrogance of the Aloe Clan and said, "I'd appreciate it if you could have some cultivation and be ruthless enough."

Fan Kou nodded: "This is simple. I know someone who is particularly suitable, and he will certainly be willing to lend a hand. Lord Beethoven, let me take you back to the guesthouse first."

Chapter 323 A Strong Obsession

The confrontation between Wang and Qian took place in the morning.

By noon, a change immediately occurred in Fog Edge City—the number of pedestrians on the streets gradually decreased until there was not a single person in sight.

Many adventurers carrying swords leaned against pillars and railings, scattered between the inn and the city gate.

Dozens of people, dressed in mourning attire with white linen wrapped around their arms, surrounded the entrance to the guesthouse.

Without a doubt, these people belong to the aloe vera family.

When General Song said he wouldn't interfere, he really meant it. He deployed elite troops around the guesthouse, leaving the rest of the area undefended; his meaning was crystal clear.

Don't make a call in the guesthouse.

When that wild Beethoven comes out, you can kill him all you want.

"Provocation! This is Song Zhen's provocation! He deserves to die!"

The geomancer's house.

The Feng Shui House is the ancestral home of the Aloe family, covering an area of ​​30,000 square meters, which is quite vast. During festivals, the house is filled with music and lanterns, making it even more prosperous and extravagant than the city of Wubian.

In the council hall, an elderly man with white hair glared angrily and shouted loudly.

He looked at Aloe and said, "Patriarch, everyone is watching! If we can't tear that wild Beethoven to pieces, will they still respect us? Now is the time to take drastic measures. We absolutely cannot let that brat leave Fog Edge City alive!"

Aloe remained relatively calm: "Don't be impatient, I already have plans. When the wild Beethoven steps out of the guesthouse, it will be his end."

"Not enough! Not enough!"
