Chapter 679 – The Most Arrogant Declaration of War
Black Wind City.
Murdering a powerless outsider in Black Wind City was even more normal than when the master robbed another group of female maids. It happened almost every day.
The only thing worth discussing was round head Bao Gu.
Everyone in Black Wind City knew of this fellow. Normally, he was mortally afraid of death, but he liked to brag about himself. Whenever he had any dealing with anyone, he was like a pug. But today, things had changed. For an outsider, he had overestimated himself and had gone against the Vice Chairman of the Chidoo Chamber of Commerce. In the eyes of people, this was simply an unbelievable matter.
The most incredible thing was that round head Bao Gu also said it was for his friend’s sake.
For his friend sake?
Was there really such a thing in Black Wind City? In Black Wind City, anyone who trusted their friends would have died long ago.
At the end of the discussion, they drew a conclusion that either Bao Gu was crazy, or he was “playacting”, working with Vice Chairman and Guard Captain to extort the outsider for money. This wasn’t the first time. It was also very common in Black Wind City. Anyone who broke into the other party to gain their trust through blood or tears had a name, which was undercover!
Was Bao Gu an undercover agent?
For a moment, people could not make up their minds.
Because there’s a bit of “sincerity” in round head Bao Gu’s action, it didn’t seem much like a fake.
But the lesson also tells people that the truer it looked like, the more fake the fact was. Furthermore, for the sake of his friends, he would risk his life to fight against the unstoppable Vice Chairman. Just thinking about this matter made people realize that it was impossible!
“Let’s make a bet! If Bao Gu can come back, then it must be a lie!”
Someone set up a casual bet in the tavern.
Betting on whether Bao Gu can appear in Black Wind City within three days. If Bao Gu showed up three days later, then he must be a spy. He must be playacting together with the Guard Captain and Vice Chairman to cheat the outsider of his money! If Bao Gu never returned, then he would truly go crazy. He would definite have the Vice Chairman’s men chased him out of the city and slaughtered him.
Many people were betting that Bao Gu would return within three days.
Only a few people betted that they won’t be able to come back.
For example, a fellow whose son was serving as a guard in City Lord’s Mansion would bet a hundred gold coins that Bao Gu would never be able to come back!
Half a day later, Bao Gu still hadn’t returned.
However, there were a few strange humans showing up in Black Wind City. Their clothes were somewhat similar to that outsider. Especially the sharp-eyed people could discover that their chests all had badges of the same style. Among these human men, there was a fat man, a thin man, an ice cube guy with a cool face, a ‘prince’ with a handsome appearance and noble temperament, and two twin brothers who looked like guards. The appearance of these few people ignited the flames of gossip within the citizens of Black Wind City, who were to forget about the murder of the outsider.
What if a few of the strangers’ teammates came as soon as Vice Chairman had killed them?
As expected, those men first inquired in the tavern about the news of the outsider from earlier.
Although the people in the tavern were greedy for money, no one dared to tell the truth.
Perhaps the fatty saw the strange look in the people’s eyes, that he had made a promise for a large sum of money … It was a pity that no matter how much money he had, he couldn’t buy life. If the Vice Chairman and Guard Captain were informed, he wouldn’t be able to keep his life. What’s more, these humans had no strong strength, among whom the strongest one was the ice cube guy with Earth Stage level 3.
Such a weak team could be easily wiped out by the Vice Chairman, let alone the Guard Captain.
The ice cube guy led the way to the Mercenary Guild.
He had issued a mission that was worth 10,000 gold to look for someone, and all the clues that he could obtain were all capable of obtaining a high reward of 1,000 gold …
Thus, Black Wind City was in an uproar. According to this mission, the outsider who was killed was not a simple person. It seemed that he was a very important person.
Vice Chairman urgently found the Guard Captain and discussed the countermeasures.
“That outsider, are you sure you’ve killed him?” The captain frowned and asked.
“My men drove him and Bao Gu into the black hole. As usual, they pushed down a rock as big as a small mountain, so how could they not die? Furthermore, the leader of the guards also confirmed with the Skeleton Beast that two creatures had died at the bottom of the crater before he returned the report.” Vice Chairman felt a little regretful. If he had known earlier that he wouldn’t kill that outsider, it would have been a bit troublesome. After all, that outsider didn’t seem to be a businessman without power or influence.
“If so, there’s nothing to say.” Guard Captain sneered, “Since you’ve done what you’ve done, don’t regret it. You might get rid of that team as well!”
“There might even be teammates!” Vice Chairman had asked around and found out that these people had been sent here from Silver Leaf City.
There might even be a merchant caravan in Silver Leaf City.
If he killed these people, things would become irreparable.
The Guard Captain didn’t think so. Even if there was a caravan from the Western Heaven Realm, the scale couldn’t be too big because the transportation fees for each transmission array was a huge sum of money. He felt that these young people should be traveling around for study, not for business. Based on the strength of their guards, it didn’t seem like they had much power and influence. They were probably the disciples of a certain clan or a member of a certain city lord’s family.
The Western Heaven Realm was so far away from the Southern Heaven Realm. Even if the master’s son was killed, there was no way he could start a war.
Besides, Black Wind City has always been good at taking advantage of others.
His backer was extremely powerful, and he had always been fine.
“Get rid of them. We must be more agile and use a plan. Don’t let them see through it. About this matter, when the master returns, I will report it to him. If there is anything, the master will take charge of it for us. It’s fine!" The Guard Captain did not care much about this matter. How many outsiders did Black Wind City assassinate due to greed? He had always been fine!
An hour later.
The panicking Vice Chairman rushed into the Guard Captain’s room.
Guard Captain was holding down a maid and sprinting in bed. He was annoyed and shouted: “God dammit, do you have to ask me for permission for everything? What’s so special about this matter? If I kill him, I’ll kill him! Get out, get out!”
The Vice Chairman said with a bitter face, “Things have gone wrong…”
Guard Captain was first stunned, then he said angrily, "How could it be wrong? Are your men all pig heads? The highest strength among them is only at the third level of Earth Stage. If you can’t even kill them, what else can you do? Wasn’t there Golden Armour Guard Captain of Earth Stage level 8 in the Chidoo Chamber of Commerce? Don’t tell me you didn’t send them to escort!”
The Vice Chairman hurriedly shook his head, “No, no, it’s not like that. Actually, everything went very smoothly, we used a trap, baiting them into black hole, and were just preparing to kill them. Who knows that the ice cube guy and the man who’s like a prince both had Summoning Grimoire and summoned two Abyss Manatees of Heaven Stage level 2. The Golden Armour Guard Captain can’t bear them either!”
“What a joke, they are only at the third level of Earth Stage, even if they possess grimoire, how could they contract with Abyss Manatees of Heaven Stage level 2!” The captain didn’t believe it.
“They don’t have a contract, maybe the Abyss Manatees is their family’s guardian beast…” The Vice Chairman didn’t know what was going on either.
“You mean they escaped?” the captain asked.
“Yes.” The Vice Chairman really wanted to say that not only had the other party left, them had also beaten up the guards, including the Golden Armour Guard Captain, and threatened to send people to flatten Black Wind City. Of course, he didn’t dare to say such words to the Guard Captain. If he did, he would definitely rip him to shreds.
“Get out!” The Guard Captain was depressed. Even though he had plotted quite a bit of money, a million dollars, it was still quite a big problem.
He would report this matter to the Master of Black Wind City if he was here.
The master might send people to hunt them down and eliminate any potential dangers in the future.
However, the problem was that the master wasn’t here. It was impossible for him to kill two Abyssal Manatees of Heaven Stage level 2 with just his own strength!
Forget it, just asked him to make up his mind when the master returns! The Guard Captain had no choice but to hold back the depression in his heart. He was mentally prepared to let the master curse at him. He was not worried that the Master of Black Wind City would kill him because he was his loyal follower. Every year, he would bring over tens of thousands of beauties from various races to the master, as well as tens of millions in money. He was a great contributor, and he was also the master’s most beloved Ninth Wife’s cousin. In any case, the master would not kill him for the sake of an outsider.
At 9 PM.
An envoy from the Mercenary Guild in Silver Leaf City represented Tong Tian Sect, Long Teng Sect, and Demonic Palace in Western Heaven Realm to declare war against Black Wind City.
With this declaration of war, the entire city was in an uproar.
This kind of cross-border declaration of war was unbelievable even in a dream. Was there really such a thing?
However, the announcement was posted at the entrance of Mercenary Guild in Black Wind City, an iron-like fact. In the City Lord’s Mansion, even though the Master of Black Wind City was not present, his Ninth Wife bit her teeth and braced herself to accept the declaration of war from the Western Heaven Realm.
It turned out that during the day, her cousin had teamed up with the Vice Chairman of the Chidoo Chamber of Commerce to see how the money worked and to kill a weak outsider. As for this outsider, he was the most important alchemist master of the three forces — Tong Tian Sect, Long Teng Sect, and Demonic Palace. After the murder of this outsider called ‘Jun Wu Ye’, his companions had come looking for him, but her cousin and Vice Chairman had actually tried to get rid of them to hide their evil deeds.
Jun Wu Ye’s comrades had fled for his life under the protection of warbeast of Heaven Stage level.
Because of their rage for the vicious actions of the Black Wind City, the joint business group formed by the Tong Tian Sect, Long Teng Sect, and Demonic Palace immediately declared war on the Black Wind City.
There were a few points on the declaration of war of the Western Heaven Realm.
The first was to immediately hand over the culprit and compensate them with at least ten billion dollars. This was the loss caused by the death of an alchemist master.
Second, the Master of Black Wind City must kneel down and beg for forgiveness. In addition to worshipping the alchemist master Jun Wu Ye, he must also make a declaration to the Southern Heaven Realm and the Western Heaven Realm. In the end, he must resign his position as the City Lord and accept the joint trial of Tong Tian Sect, Long Teng Sect, and Demonic Palace. All of Black Wind City’s accomplices were killed. All of the clansmen, except for babies and pregnant women, were sentenced to exile or hard labor.
Thirdly, every member of the Black Wind City or its alliance, anyone who wished to interfere in the Black Wind City’s war, shall declare guilty same as the Master of Black Wind City. Within three days after the declaration of war, all the residents of Black Wind City must either stay away from the battle or stay in a designated safe zone. Otherwise, they will be treated as accomplices and beheaded.
Four, give up Black Wind City, build an Alchemy Tomb for the alchemist master, cast the ugly statue of the murderer with bronze, and making it kneel in front of the tomb for tens of millions of years to bear the curses.
…
“No way!” Those who had read the announcement felt that this was too crazy.
Black Wind City was not a soft persimmon, how could they agree to such conditions! With the arrogant character of the Master of Black Wind City, it would be strange if he did not start a war immediately.
