Chapter 1986: Chapter 1986: Incoming! Top Faction Personnel!

After Wang Mang spoke, the leading guard visibly sighed with relief.

He deeply bowed to Wang Mang and then quickly walked away.

With the departure of the few, Wu Ya also approached Wang Mang with considerable curiosity.

"Kid, tell me what you’ve been up to?"

Hearing this, Wang Mang shook his head and evaded the question:

"Nothing much."

Seeing that Wang Mang had no intention of explaining, Wu Ya did not press further.

He muttered as if it were nothing:

"With your strength, there is nothing to fear in the Second Loop of the universe,"

"Just take down the ones who issued the bounty."

Wang Mang, somewhat irritable, responded:

"The bounty was issued by five top factions."

"What, do you plan to help me take them all down in one go?"

No sooner had he finished speaking, when he heard Wu Ya coughing beside his ear.

"Cough! Cough!! Cough..."

Wu Ya had choked on his own saliva.

"Cough cough, from the top factions, huh?"

"Actually, being wanted by them isn’t so bad; it’s a testament to one’s strength."

He said this because the top factions usually resolved any grudges immediately.

Only under special circumstances or when facing particularly tough enemies would they opt to issue a bounty.

To most people, however, such bounties didn’t serve much practical purpose and more resembled a mark of status.

If the top factions couldn’t resolve someone, who else in the Second Loop of the universe could?

Although that was the talk, Wu Ya selectively forgot about the statement he made impulsively just a moment ago.

Even though he was terrifyingly powerful, he still dared not challenge the dignity of the top factions.

Let alone anything else, just the thought of a confrontation made him fearful.

If he couldn’t overcome them, would confronting an eighth-tier behemoth scare you?

For those who didn’t know much, they might think that the Universe Will wouldn’t allow eighth-tier interference in battles.

But for a veteran quasi-eighth-tier like Wu Ya, most things were crystal clear.

In comparison, the Universe Will was just a youngster.

That entity’s life-and-death authority was controlled by others.

It was merely a dog maintaining order for others.

If it usually didn’t cooperate, they wouldn’t bother with it.

But if the issue pertained to legacy and lineage, things would become serious.

Thinking of this, Wu Ya sighed slightly.

He had thought that by recruiting Wang Mang, a formidable Combat Strength, it would be like a great hand dealt at the start.

But now, it seemed that describing his situation as extremely difficult was more apt.

Being targeted by all the top factions in the Second Loop universe, the phrase "extremely difficult" was by no means an exaggeration.

Previously, when Wang Mang was a lone wolf, the situation was not very apparent.

But once he started to establish his own power, things were bound to get troublesome.

At this moment, Wu Ya was considering whether to kick him out.

After all, offending several top factions in the Second Loop universe for the sake of a single combatant was a very unprofitable move.

After pondering for a moment, Wu Ya ultimately dismissed the idea.

Even when viewed across the span of the whole universe, Wang Mang’s potential stood out as one that could bring significant assistance to him.

As for the shrimp soldiers and crab generals recruited from the Second Loop, it was better left unmentioned.

By this time, there weren’t many people left around.

The crowd had gathered for the recent excitement.

But when they realized one of the individuals was an infamous criminal wanted by various top factions,

they thought it best to hurry home. Lest they get caught in the crossfire and end up regretting it.

As the crowd dispersed, Wang Mang and Wu Ya also vanished from the spectator area.

Less than a day later, news of a fiercely dangerous wanted criminal’s appearance spread throughout the world.

Throughout the world, public anxiety prevailed, with everyone fearing that the villain might appear before them.

For a time, people ventured outside less frequently.

...

At this moment, in the Nebula Sect’s meeting hall.

A few middle-aged men, exuding a fierce aura, surrounded a small table, discussing recent events.

"Gentlemen, what are your thoughts on that heinous criminal?"

"What do you mean, ’what are my thoughts’? Of course, we sit and watch. Do you expect us to jump up to watch?"

"If even the top great powers can’t deal with him, we better not go looking for trouble."

"Correct, our immediate priority is to select a young sect master."

"Distribute the portrait of that heinous criminal, so everyone is cautious and doesn’t provoke him."

"Well said, let’s accommodate him in small matters, but report big issues up the chain."

...

In just a few moments, these individuals had decided on how to handle Wang Mang’s case.

If other people heard the discussion of these important figures, their jaws would certainly drop.

The usually high-and-mighty powerhouses had actually made such a decision.

But the circumstances forced their hand.

Wang Mang was to them a mighty dragon crossing the river.

And the whole dragon was not just mighty, but ferocious as well.

...

At this moment, Wang Mang and Wu Ya were in a tavern.

Because of Wang Mang’s far-reaching reputation, the tavern was exceptionally quiet.

Just five people were present, including Wang Mang.

Two weak individuals, mere ants, quieted their conversation considerably the instant Wang Mang arrived.

The tavern keeper was also very nervous.

"Bring out the wine!"

Just then, Wang Mang’s shout suddenly rang out.

It startled the other three, sending shivers down their spines.

At that moment, they deeply regretted choosing this period to drink in a tavern.

Though fearful, the tavern keeper dared not delay.

He hurriedly fetched a few jars of wine from the kitchen.

"For our distinguished guests, here’s your wine."

Wu Ya glanced at Wang Mang and said with a light laugh:

"They really are terrified of you, aren’t they?"

Hearing this, Wang Mang appeared somewhat helpless.

He preferred the noisy ambiance to the current quietness.

After opening a jar of spirit wine, Wang Mang fiercely gulped down several mouthfuls.

"Say, when are you going to take action?"

Wu Ya frowned slightly upon hearing this.

"Let’s wait a bit more; isn’t the final selection of the Nebula Sect about to start?"

"Let’s take action after watching that."

Wang Mang took a deep breath and said no more.

Just at that moment, two incredibly strong presences suddenly entered Wang Mang’s perception.

He became quite curious and looked toward the distance.

"Oh? Someone’s coming?" Wu Ya said, showing interest.

Setting down the jar in his hand, Wang Mang spoke indifferently:

"It’s two from the ninth-level Zenith Heaven realm."

Within seconds, two individuals dressed in the distinctive attire of a top great power appeared in the tavern.

Upon seeing Wang Mang, their eyes unmistakably brightened.

"Scoundrel! You’ve killed so many of our Peerless Heavenly Talents, and now you’re leisurely drinking wine?"

"We won’t be satisfied until we’ve flayed you alive, to appease the hatred in our hearts."

Their statements also frightened the surrounding people enough.

Damn, this is the real deal!
