Chapter 1506 - 1486: I'm Leading a Team to Flatten Wuji Academy

Yang Xiao had left the City of Hope for several months.

Currently, the City of Hope, along with Titan City, Firebird City, Cold Wind Valley, and Shuize City, under the management of Elder Qi, Black Wood, Suonan, Flying Tiger, Fan Chen, Wanyan Bai, Chen Peng, and Le Ting, coupled with the Dark Web providing support from behind and the Demon Beast Alliance from the Dark Forest, has become the fifth major power on the Central Continent.

The construction of the five cities has entered a new stage.

Yang Xiao had only planned the development of the City of Hope initially. When the situation changed, Yang Xiao, before leaving, instructed Elder Qi and others to use the City of Hope as a blueprint to develop the other four cities similarly.

Now Titan City, Firebird City, Cold Wind Valley, and Shuize City have also started basic construction, building roads, constructing nuclear power plants, establishing water plants, building primary level Genetic Evolution academies, providing free education for all children.

Agriculture in the Dark Forest has already started comprehensively and is thriving.

Crops with a shorter maturity period have begun to bloom and bear fruit.

Elder Qi and others have also established some primary processing factories to process grain crops for easy preservation.

Ma Kui formed a new commercial team, specializing in purchasing goods from outside the Central Continent while selling some specialty products from the Central Continent to the outside.

The Dark Web has set up a separate office in the City of Hope, sending Mr. Five as a representative, residing in the City of Hope for years.

Currently, the City of Hope presents a vibrant and flourishing scene, with people living in peace and happiness, united and harmonious.

Citizens from distant cities are increasingly migrating here, causing a continuous increase in population.

...

Fan Chen and Wanyan Bai were appointed by Yang Xiao to be responsible for setting up the information and intelligence team, busy for the past few months with recruiting and training personnel, establishing liaison offices between the five cities, gradually deploying branches to nearby other cities, and even secretly infiltrating further cities.

Wanyan Bai said:

"Brother Fan, when the boss left, he instructed us that after the institutions are established, we should report the events happening here to him every three or six days.

We've been busy for quite some time now. It's time to start reporting our work to the boss."

Fan Chen nodded,

"I wonder how the boss is doing at Wuji Academy now. I miss him a bit. How about we go to Wuji Academy tomorrow to find the boss and report the intelligence in person."

"Hmm, sounds good. I was thinking the same."

While the two were talking, a guard knocked on the door and entered.

"Captain Fan, Captain Wanyan, Elder Qi instructed me to call you over for a meeting."

"Oh? Got it. We're going immediately."

Shortly afterward, Fan Chen and Wanyan Bai arrived at the conference hall of the City Lord Mansion in the City of Hope. Upon entering, they found Elder Qi, Black Wood, Flying Tiger, Suonan, and Ma Kui were all present, along with Chen Peng and Le Ting.

Elder Qi and the five others were appointed by Yang Xiao as the management group when he left. Chen Peng, Le Ting, as well as Fan Chen and Wanyan Bai, are all Yang Xiao's close confidants.

Everyone greeted each other.

Elder Qi had a serious expression on his face, glanced at the guard at the door, and said:

"Close the door, no one is allowed to disturb."

"Yes."

The two guards at the door closed the door and stood outside.

Elder Qi glanced at everyone, waved his hand, and a soundproof barrier enveloped the entire conference hall.

Black Wood looked and laughed:

"Elder Qi, what are you doing, being so mysterious."

Flying Tiger also laughed:

"Is Elder Qi planning to marry a concubine and afraid that people outside will return to tell your wife? Haha..."

"Haha...."

Everyone laughed together. They were all extremely familiar friends, often joking with one another.

Fan Chen was surprised, as Elder Qi didn't laugh this time or scold Flying Tiger, his expression very serious.

Everyone felt something was wrong, immediately quieted down, and looked at Elder Qi.

Elder Qi glanced at everyone, took a deep breath, and solemnly said:

"There's a major incident, the boss..."

Elder Qi didn't finish his sentence, his voice choked, tears welling up in his eyes.

Black Wood, sitting next to Elder Qi, was shocked, reached out to grab Elder Qi,

"Elder Qi, what's happened, what's wrong with the boss? Hurry up and tell us!"

The atmosphere on-site instantly turned tense, Fan Chen's heart rushed, almost jumping out of his chest.

Although Elder Qi had not announced it yet, given his understanding of Elder Qi, if Yang Xiao hadn't encountered a major incident, Elder Qi would never be so choked up and sad.

Elder Qi let out a deep sigh, slowly said:

"I just received a letter delivered by someone from Wuji Academy, saying that the boss was hunting on Wuji Island and entered an abandoned Cultivation Field for some unknown reason. The nuclear generator at the Cultivation Field suddenly exploded, blasting the entire Shandu flat. The academy sent people for rescue but couldn't find Yang Xiao, now declaring the boss missing."

Elder Qi finished in one breath, and then collapsed into the chair.

Yang Xiao had become the spiritual pillar for Elder Qi, Fan Chen, Wanyan Bai, and others from Witch Star. With Yang Xiao down, their spiritual pillar also collapsed.

Not to mention saving Witch Star, even surviving on the Central Continent would be problematic.

Now there was a deathly silence, everyone wore a shocked expression, confused and at a loss, their minds blank.

Their good days had just begun!

Yang Xiao now represented the absolute core leadership and spiritual pillar for the five cities and millions of people. Everyone expected Yang Xiao to lead them onward, making the City of Hope even more beautiful, wealthy, and peaceful.

If Yang Xiao suddenly passed away, the sky over everyone's head would collapse.

Not to mention anything else, Ba Tianhu would immediately attack and seize the five cities.

Black Wood and others, upon being confused momentarily, immediately realized the seriousness of the situation.

Flying Tiger's face flushed, his sorrow mixed with anger, he shouted loudly:

"How long has the boss been at Wuji Academy? He was fine before he left, how could an accident happen?

I don't believe it, I want to go to Wuji Academy, and personally ask the director of Wuji Academy how the boss met with an accident. Did they cause it?

Damn it, if they don't have an explanation, I'll lead people to level Wuji Academy."

Flying Tiger, straightforward and with deep feelings for Yang Xiao, spoke those words not because he was unaware of Wuji Academy's formidable power, but because his inner anger burst forth.

Black Wood patted Flying Tiger on the shoulder,

"Flying Tiger, don't rush, let's understand the situation first,

Elder Qi, what about the people who delivered the letter from Wuji Academy?"

"They have already left, this matter is too sensitive, I have already arranged for them to leave. This is the Recording Jade Dishware sent by their director."

Elder Qi placed a black jade dishware on the table.

Black Wood picked up the black jade dishware and injected Evolution Energy, and a virtual three-dimensional image appeared in mid-air.

"Yang Xiao's kin, friends, greetings, I am Deng Xiao, vice director of Wuji Academy. I must inform you with a heavy heart, Yang Xiao mistakenly entered a Cultivation Field that had been abandoned, where the nuclear generator unexpectedly exploded, flattening an entire Shandu."

The academy immediately entered the scene for rescue but found no trace of Yang Xiao. We regret to announce Yang Xiao is missing."
