103 Self-righteousness, Finally Failing!
“Take him down!”
Someone shouted, and five or six warriors immediately rushed up. A few of them held Andu down tightly, and another person took out a heavy shackle made of black metal.
[Prisoner Shackles (Blue)]
This item was specially used to capture lords. It was made of special materials and could block the connection between the lord and the territory and forcefully stop the energy flow.
Once locked by the [Prisoner Shackles], not to mention Andu, even if the royal family of the Crimson Star came, they would still not be able to cause much trouble.
Andu had been caught once before, so he naturally recognized this thing. However, he had no intention of resisting. After all, the weapons in the distance were still pointing at him steadily.
Soon, Andu was locked tightly by the [Prisoner Shackles]. After the energy was forcefully blocked, the crystal clear ruby on his forehead also extinguished.
At this moment, Wang Xiao and the others finally heaved a sigh of relief.
When Tang Hengshan saw that they had completely taken control of the situation, he could not help but relapse. He panted heavily and chuckled. “Red Mantis Shrimp! Don’t be so wimpy! Weren’t you quite arrogant just now?”
Andu ignored him and only revealed a strange smile at Wang Xiao. “You still don’t know how much trouble you’ve caused. You’ll be killed by that thing.”
Wang Xiao’s eyes flickered. “You mean the [Dark Swamp Crocodile Dragon]?”
Andu made a “take a guess” expression, closed his eyes, and smiled faintly. “You’re lucky this time. I just came out and don’t have any suitable items. However, it might not be the same next time… Wang Xiao, I won’t underestimate you again.”
Wang Xiao’s expression changed slightly because he knew that Andu was right. Be it the lord competition or the [Challenge Mystic Realm] just now, the reason why he could survive was because he was lucky enough to find a loophole in the rules.
Now, Andu had already begun to face Wang Xiao seriously. If they had to fight again, the other party would definitely launch a lightning attack immediately and definitely not give him a chance to take advantage of any loopholes!
Thinking of this, Wang Xiao’s gaze became solemn. Although he had once fought three level four lords alone in the [Mist Rainforest], those secret realm hunters who plundered the secret realm for a living were not on the same level as the Crimson Star royal family!
As if seeing through Wang Xiao’s thoughts, Andu slowly opened his eyes and revealed a cruel and violent smile. “Wang Xiao, I’ll come and find you as soon as possible. Before that, please feel as much fear as you want… Haha! Hahahaha!”
Andu’s laughter seemed to have some magic power. Although he was already locked by the [Prisoner Shackles], Wang Xiao actually felt a bone-chilling chill!
Suddenly, a weak voice sounded. “Your laughter is really unpleasant.”
Andu’s ear-piercing laughter stopped abruptly. He suddenly turned his head in the direction of the voice and saw the crowd part to the left and right. A pale young man with a bare upper body and a thick bandage on his chest walked out.
“Adjutant Qi!”
Wang Xiao recognized him at a glance. It was Chen Jinrong’s adjutant, Qi Lianjun. It had only been a while since they last met, but why did he look like he was seriously injured?
Puzzled, Wang Xiao subconsciously thought of something and saw Qi Lianjun pressing his hand down, as if asking him to wait. Therefore, he sat on the ground and did not get up.
At the same time, Andu also recognized the young man. For the first time, he revealed a shocked expression. “That’s impossible! Your heart was minced by my [Annihilation Light]. You should have died long ago!”
“Hehe… Nothing is impossible.”
Qi Lianjun smiled stiffly, as if he was still not used to making expressions. “Let me introduce myself again. My name is Qi Lianjun, and I’m the adjutant of the commander-in-chief of the Kaiyang Military Region of the Blue Planet’s military, Chen Jinrong.”
“Commander-in-chief? Adjutant?”
Andu frowned, not understanding what this official rank meant. After all, the royal family ruled everything on Crimson Star.
However, the current Andu was no longer in the mood to think about this at all. This was because he had previously thought that Qi Lianjun would definitely die, so he had told the other party all the information.
Now that the other party had managed to survive for some reason, it meant that all the top secret information on the Crimson Star had been exposed to the Blue Planet!
“Damn it!”
Andu cursed angrily and immediately struggled with all his might. However, the [Prisoner Shackles] was made of special materials. How could a level four lord like him destroy it?
At this moment, Qi Lianjun had already walked closer. He looked at Andu, who was still struggling, and said indifferently, “Andu, a royal family member of the Crimson Star, I represent the Blue Planet’s military to inform you that you’re under arrest.”
“For the next period of time, you will be imprisoned in the [Extreme Ice Hell] until we complete the sentence for your crime.”
“Don’t! There’s a lot of information I haven’t told you yet! I can tell you everything!”
After realizing that he had lost his value, Andu revealed a flustered expression for the first time. He tried his best to prove that he was still valuable, but Qi Lianjun did not even listen and directly waved his hand to get someone to take him away.
As Andu was escorted away, the surrounding warriors also retreated one after another.
Qi Lianjun came to Wang Xiao and the others again. After saluting, he said seriously, “Because of my negligence, all of you were endangered. On behalf of the Blue Planet’s military, I sincerely apologize—”
Speaking of this, Qi Lianjun bowed deeply to the five of them. “I’m sorry!”
The five of them were shocked and hurriedly stood up. Wang Xiao supported Qi Lianjun and said, “Adjutant Qi, you’re too polite. No one can predict such a thing.”
The others nodded repeatedly. They did not know that Andu had been “deliberately” released, so they did not feel that they had suffered any grievances.
Although the situation just now was indeed very dangerous, as lords, why would they be afraid of danger?
Looking at their sincere smiles, Qi Lianjun felt even more guilty. However, this operation was a secret, so he could not explain it to everyone.
Wang Xiao could tell that Qi Lianjun was in a difficult position. He changed the topic and said, “By the way, Adjutant Qi, we were pulled into the [Challenge Mystic Realm] just now. In order to escape, we took the initiative to admit defeat and all the resources fell into Andu’s hands…”
Before he could finish speaking, Qi Lianjun understood what Wang Xiao meant. “I understand. I’ll inform the commander to return your resources as soon as possible.”
“That’s great!”
Everyone revealed happy expressions. Qi Lianjun looked at Wang Xiao again. “I have something to ask you. Is it convenient for us to talk in private?”
As Qi Lianjun spoke, he even rubbed his face. Wang Xiao immediately understood what he meant and turned to the others. “Go back to the Fang family and report your safety first. I’ll report the situation to Adjutant Qi.”
After Tang Hengshan and the others left, Qi Lianjun raised his hand and wiped his face before taking off a crystal mask that was as thin as a cicada’s wing.
“Wang Xiao, I’m sorry…”
Qi Lianjun said softly with a complicated expression, “I’ve ruined this orange quality item.”
