Chapter 1429 - 724: Endurance (Part 2)
In that case, let's see who can endure more torment!
Compared to Luo Island, which frantically targets hospitals, gas stations, and schools, causing terror attacks and assassinations, Ji Jue hasn't even attacked civilians proactively.
There are no traces or evidence that can directly indicate he's involved in all this.
Because... it wasn't just a matter of a day or two!
It's not even just against Luo Island.
The Fly King has already infiltrated the entire Seven Cities through the Peacekeeping Cat and a large number of Coastal Industry's tricycles, vehicles, and even products! Anyway, it was just an incidental effort while searching for the Wolf.
The reason it hasn't been activated is simply because it wasn't necessary!
Just one awakening of the Mechanical Descent would be able to fully revive and trigger them, bringing everything under Ji Jue's control, just like now...
Boom!!!
A muffled sound suddenly reverberated, and even inside the mansion, one could hear the terrifying turmoil, Seno's expression slightly changed, and the specially treated and shielded phone rang from Elkana's embrace.
Elkana cautiously glanced at Seno, and after receiving permission, answered the call, his face quickly turning pale.
"Six, Sixth Uncle... Uncle, Sixth Uncle met with an accident!"
Elkana exclaimed, "He was caught in an explosion while inspecting the substation, and your son, Big Brother, Big Brother also..."
Seno froze, his face ashen.
The moment he subconsciously clenched his fist, he heard a loud bang nearby.
Right before his eyes...
Bang!
The phone pressed against Elkana's face suddenly exploded.
The screen shattered, flew, and the battery pack self-ignited and exploded, landing on the handcrafted carpet, leaving it ablaze and seared.
Elkana's face was covered in blood, and he screamed miserably.
"Help me! Uncle, save me!"
He instinctively covered his face, "My, my eyes, my face, I, I..."
Seno didn't say another word.
The corners of his eyes twitched in rage, his pupils bloodshot.
With a wave of his hand, he signaled for the people waiting outside to take him away quickly and treat him properly.
After the door closed, a faint sound of breaking was heard, something smashing to pieces, followed immediately by another sound...
Until midnight, the Seno who was supposed to return to the mansion appeared in front of a secretive building, without carrying any devices or being captured by any monitoring.
Under the moonlight, a cold aura emanated from the dilapidated villa. In the dead silence, even the sound of twigs and leaves being crushed was piercingly loud.
Behind the dark window, a pale and hollow human face seemed to appear for a moment, then vanished without a trace.
In the garden, an exquisitely new wooden horse suddenly began to wobble, the traces of rust and breakage rapidly spreading, on the verge of disuse in an instant.
The sound grew more shrill.
As if an invisible hand was firmly gripping his throat, slowly tightening, plundering his life and breath.
Relentlessly!
Until Seno completely suffocated, knelt on the ground, twitching and convulsing, on the brink of shock. Then, that force suddenly disappeared.
He gasped violently, coughing, only to find that the villa's front door wasn't perfectly shut, silently open a crack.
In the desolate and dilapidated villa, it felt empty, as if long deserted, yet it made Seno feel that besides himself, there was something else here, under the dust, behind the wooden panels, in the shadows of the tables, chairs, and statues, coldly observing.
They were everywhere, they were close at hand, like the true owners of the place, surrounding Seno, as if once their master loosened their shackles even a little, in the next moment, they would skin and devour Seno!
In the dead silence, a crack suddenly appeared on Seno's face.
Like a scratch left by sharp nails.
The wound turned open, blood oozed out, and then was completely sucked away by something invisible...
Seno didn't move, enduring the punishment.
Until a hoarse voice spoke from the peeling, faded oil painting.
"You shouldn't have come here, Seno."
The blood-stained human face on the oil painting lifted, its lips stiffly opening and closing, warning him: "Until the Blood Feud Judgment, you shouldn't appear! Your actions will only add unnecessary complications!"
"I, I just want to know..."
Seno lowered his head, humbly asking: "How much longer do we have to endure? At this rate, the Sujano Family will become a complete laughingstock, falling apart into chaos."
The Fly King's swarm?
Fearsome? Indeed, it's quite fearsome.
But in front of the existence before him, for the Xu Family that manipulates Spiritual Bodies for countless years, it's but a minor ailment!
If they wanted to, they could remove it in an instant!
Yet, the Xu Family remains unmoved.
Not only unmoved, but they also hide their existence, leaving no trace exposed.
Leaving the Sujano Family to be pushed out, silently enduring.
"I told you to endure, so just keep enduring."
The blood-stained human face remained indifferent: "The main family's decisions, you have no right to interfere. The great-grandfather can elevate you to power, just as he can replace you with someone more obedient."
"Until Lou Yanyue is dead, there can be absolutely no mistakes or loopholes, understand?"
"Understood."
Seno nodded without hesitation, kneeling and prostrating reverently.
"Since you're so sensible, I might as well tell you some good news..."
The human face looked down at him, suddenly smiling: "You guys, by a twist of fate, have actually achieved something great, and once the matter is resolved, the great-grandfather has other rewards ready for you!"
Seno was stunned, raising his head in confusion.
Only to see in the painting, the silhouette holding a wisp of firefly light, created by the Spirit of Creation from the Fly King, struggling within its confinement but unable to escape his grasp.
"All these years, they've caused quite a stir with the Lou Family."
The hollow face coldly laughed, suddenly clasping its hand tight, almost crushing the firefly light completely, "The old undying from the Lou Family, and that bitch in charge, actually placed a heavy bet with a craftsman outside the orthodox, silently creating something like this... The main family has already investigated, and by that time, as long as the Sujano Family can cooperate with us to take down that Family God, it's a great achievement.
After the matter's resolved, let alone the Seven Cities Alliance, even if you want to regain ownership of the Spirit Contract, it won't be impossible, understand?"
Seno was dumbfounded, eyes wide open.
Incredulous.
Instinctive elation erupted, yet at the same time, a chill seeped through his entire body.
Under those meaningful gazes looming over him, he instinctively shook his head, fear-ridden: "Dare not, dare not, the Spirit Contract between the Sujano Family and the main family was established by the ancestors, meant to last through the ages, and cannot be so easily unraveled.
Please, I implore you not to suggest such a thing, for without the Spirit Contract, how could Sujano stand among the Thousand Islands?"
"Ha."
The person in the painting remained noncommittal, merely giving a final cold sneer and slowly closing his eyes.
In the silence, the door opened once more.
Signaling him to leave.
Seno rose from the ground, respectfully backed a few steps away, only turning to disappear into the darkness outside.
The door closed once more.
In the midst of endurance, the long and arduous seven days eventually passed in a blink.
At noon, under the watch of many, the trumpet and drums of the Blood Feud Judgment resounded throughout Pu City!
