Chapter 390: You, Have You Asked Me?

Jiada had already left to attend the meeting, and Lingyun stood alone before the window, gazing at the sky that had turned gloomy at some unknown moment.

"What is it, are you worried about the final outcome of the meeting?" Nangong Nayue asked.

"People always pick the softest persimmons to squeeze. Vatler has the Forgotten War King as a mountain behind him; if something were done to him, who knows if one might provoke the Forgotten War King. But as for the others, that is not necessarily the case!" Lingyun said calmly, his hands clasped behind his back.

"You mean to say, they will choose to take action against Itogami Island?" Nangong Nayue's body trembled slightly.

"Is Xiao Gucheng still by Aiba Asagi's side?" Lingyun suddenly asked Nangong Nayue a strange question.

"Hmm, ever since she found out that Xiao Gucheng is the Fourth Progenitor, she has been brooding over how many times he has sucked Himeragi Yukina's blood!" Recalling the look on Xiao Gucheng's face as he helplessly said 'spare me', Nangong Nayue couldn't help but let out a light laugh. "Moreover, she now believes that Himeragi Yukina is the jealous and extreme type, not suitable for Xiao Gucheng, who is a good-natured person."

"Xiao Gucheng must be having a headache right now because of the relationship between the two of them!" Lingyun said.

"That is indeed the case, but looking at how they are now, it seems they are both restraining themselves for Xiao Gucheng's sake," Nangong Nayue said.

"Then let Xiao Gucheng continue to protect her well during this time. The people from the Taishi Bureau should also be making their move!" A small array in Lingyun's hand quietly Shattered.

"What are you trying to do?" Nangong Nayue asked.

"I don't know that for now; let's wait until the results of the meeting come out," Lingyun said with a shrug.

Lingyun did not concern himself with how the meeting proceeded. However, it was clear that this meeting did not go very smoothly; it wasn't until the sun went down that Jiada returned to Nangong Nayue's Villa.

As soon as she returned to the Villa, Jiada lay directly on the sofa. Seeing the look of total exhaustion on her face, one could tell that she really had no interest in such bickering meetings.

"Did the results of the meeting come out?" Nangong Nayue asked.

"The results are out, but this result is definitely not what you want to see!" Jiada said, squinting her eyes.

"Oh, a result we don't want to see? What kind of result is that?" Nangong Nayue raised an eyebrow.

"Let me say this first: on this matter, I cast a dissenting vote!" Jiada propped up her body and said. "As a reward, you must make a sumptuous meal to treat me!"

"Alright, I understand," Lingyun said with a shrug. "Now, tell me what decision you all actually made!"

"This decision was proposed by the people from the Taishi Bureau. They believe that the existence of Aiba Asagi is the most critical link in the resurrection of Cain. However, as long as she is on Itogami Island, everything there is her companion, and all coincidences and inevitabilities will protect her. And her existence will inevitably lead to the resurrection of Cain and the arrival of the Great Extinction! Therefore, their final proposal was to destroy Itogami Island, so as to eradicate Aiba Asagi and eliminate future trouble!" Jiada said. "This proposal received the approval of most people. As for those high-ranking officials of Itogami Island, I think you yourselves know."

"It seems the thing I was most worried about has happened after all!" Lingyun nodded slightly. "By the way, as for the residents on the island, what are they going to do about them? And what about Vatler?"

"Those who achieve great things do not fuss over trifles. Most of the people living on Itogami Island are of the Demon Race; even if they die, it's no big deal! That was the original wording of that person from the Taishi Bureau," Jiada said with a shrug. "As for Vatler, he thinks that is the Forgotten War King's business, so he will just leave it to the Forgotten War King to resolve."

"So that's how it is?" The space around Lingyun distorted unsteadily; it was clear he was enraged. "Those who achieve great things do not fuss over trifles—that is indeed a very good excuse!"

Watching his demeanor, Nangong Nayue knew that the people from the Taishi Bureau were likely going to suffer.

"I'm going out for a moment; I'll cook for you when I get back," Lingyun said calmly.

"Hey, what are you going to do?" Jiada asked. "Right now, the people from the Taishi Bureau are together with the others; you aren't planning to take action directly, are you?"

"Take action?" Lingyun said calmly, and then his figure turned into light and shadow and vanished from the spot. "That depends on whether the other party will provoke me into taking action, doesn't it?"

At the place where the meeting was held, Aradour and Yagiz sat opposite each other.

Watching the backs of the departing Taishi Bureau representatives below, Yagiz spoke up: "Do you think this matter could possibly succeed?"

"Succeed? Heh, don't forget, this place has the Fourth Progenitor sitting in command. Perhaps this place will be the new Night Empire of the future. A mere Taishi Bureau is nothing but a bunch of clowns in front of a True Ancestor," Aradour said disdainfully.

"My lord, do you think our plan can really succeed?" A young girl looked somewhat nervously at the pot-bellied Pangzi beside her.

"In the face of life and death, everyone is the same!" The man's face was full of smugness. "But I find it strange why the envoy of the Third Progenitor would reject my proposal. However, even if she refuses, so what? With two True Ancestors pressing down in front of her, it won't have any impact on my plan."

"It looks like you are really quite proud of your plan! But, you, have you asked me?" A leisurely voice came from the sky, and a terrifying aura pressed down from above, slamming heavily onto that person.

"Puh-wah—" Under this terrifying aura, the man was sent flying directly, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Seeing the person who had arrived, Xian Guyong, as the representative of the Lion King Organization, felt her pupils shrink and quietly took a few steps back.

"Who is it?" The Pangzi, who had crawled up from the ground, couldn't help but roar.

"It's me!" Lingyun's figure descended from the sky, his terrifying aura pressing heavily upon the man, forcing him to kneel on the ground and vomit another mouthful of blood.

"You—are courting death!" Seeing the Pangzi injured right under her nose, the girl at his side drew a uniquely shaped double-pronged spear and charged toward Lingyun.

Lingyun swiped his hand, and surging Source Power transformed into a massive palm print mid-air, slamming heavily into the girl. The girl's body flew backward like a cannonball, and after smashing through a wall, she lay on the ground, clearly having lost the ability to move.

Watching the woman get knocked down by Lingyun in a single move, the Pangzi's pupils shrank. This girl was named Shizaki Kiryaha, the most powerful Attack Mage of this generation in the Taishi Bureau, the "Six Blades." Her strength was definitely not below that of Himeragi Yukina, yet she was so vulnerable in front of the newcomer, which made a sense of ominous foreboding rise in his heart.

"You, who are you?" A layer of cold sweat seeped out from the Pangzi's back.

"My name is Lingyun; you should have heard of my name," Lingyun said calmly.

"Lingyun?" Fine, dense beads of cold sweat broke out on the Pangzi's forehead. He had naturally heard of Lingyun's name; that was the ruthless man who could defeat Vatler after he had borrowed the power of Cain. But he didn't quite understand why he would suddenly turn on him.

Just at this moment, two figures descended from the sky; they were none other than Aradour and Yagiz.

Sensing the fighting spirit on the two of them, Lingyun raised an eyebrow: "Are you two also going to take action?"

"Being able to defeat Vatler, I am very curious about your strength!" Aradour said.

Yagiz, on the side, did not speak, but from the magic power boiling on his body, one could tell his intentions.

"Then come!" Lingyun gestured for them to proceed.
