Invincible Immortal Cultivator in the City
Chapter 388 - 387: Wronged Oh!

Chapter 388: Chapter 387: Wronged Oh!

In an instant, the entire conference room seemed to suddenly go from a tropical desert to the Antarctic point.

The temperature plummeted to freezing in a swoosh, the air solidified, and even for Long Si, breathing became difficult.

How powerful!

It had only been five years, but Lin Hao in front of them seemed like a completely different person, with an aura so terrifying that one could hardly bear it!

"Don’t worry, they’re fine, you can be assured of that." Long Si hastily said: "Though Dragon Needle may not be very strong, we can still handle this kind of situation. Your family has been closely protected by our experts all along, and even they haven’t had the chance to make a move. Moreover, you can now see them at any time; you’ve been gone for five years, and they’re still very worried about you."

"Who are they?"

It was good that his parents were safe. A cold light flashed in Lin Hao’s eyes as he released Long Si and walked back to take his seat.

However, his heart was still filled with towering rage.

The Mingyang Sect, the Song Family, had already been identified by Lin Hao as the foundation of his own forces, and Song Qinghong, Song Taishan, and Huai Shian had followed him through life and death. Coming back to face such a situation now, how could Lin Hao not be furious?

"It must be the people from East Atlantic Company, but according to our intelligence, the Eight Great Western Families have also exerted a lot of effort." Knowing the gravity of the situation, Long Si sighed and sat down as well.

"Since your departure, the situation in the world has also changed."

Long Si looked somewhat disconsolate: "Resurrection Island’s resources have been completely monopolized by the West, and our advantage as martial cultivators has been diminishing. Lately, Resurrection Island has become increasingly dangerous, and many experts have perished easily. In addition, many Westerners have found treasures on the island and suppressed us. In these five years, not only have we Huaxia cultivators failed to make progress, but our strength has also faced a great loss."

"Even we, Dragon Needle, have suffered a lot, and now those people have killed on our turf, and yet we have no way to respond."

"We can’t win! It’s frustrating! It’s humiliating! It’s disgraceful!"

Long Si sighed tragically in the end, with a face full of heartache.

East Atlantic Company, the Eight Great Families?

Lin Hao smiled coldly.

He had always suspected that the silence of the giant wheel was related to East Atlantic Company, and his whereabouts were probably also known by East Atlantic Company. Now, East Atlantic Company was actually retaliating in conjunction with the Eight Great Families.

"Heh heh..."

Lin Hao let out a cold laugh and turned to walk out of the conference room.

"What are you planning to do?"

Long Si could feel the killing intent emanating from Lin Hao, that oppressive aura was so intense that even he felt stifled, fearing that Lin Hao might do something drastic, he quickly asked.

"You don’t need to worry about this matter anymore."

Lin Hao walked to the door, a cold light flashing from the corner of his eye: "I don’t blame you."

"You want to..."

Hearing the tone of Lin Hao’s voice, Long Si felt even more uneasy.

"Blood debt, blood repayment!"

Lin Hao snorted coldly and strode out the conference room’s main door.

"Ah!"

Long Si leaped up from his chair and chased after Lin Hao, as though he wanted to say something, but after taking just two steps, he suddenly stopped, furrowing his brows as if thinking about something. After pondering for a while, he ultimately let out a long sigh and pulled out a satellite phone.

"Bring me all the detailed intelligence on the East Atlantic Company and the eight great Western families."

Now that Resurrection Island is controlled by the Western powers, the endless supply of Primordial Stones is increasing the strength of Western Cultivators by the day. In recent years, Huaxia has suffered immense losses at Resurrection Island. To turn the tables, ordinary means are no longer possible. Maybe, if we let Lin Hao go all out, there might still be a chance for a turnaround.

"Activate all the forces we can deploy, fully support Lin Hao!" Finally, Long Si made another phone call, with cold light flashing in his eyes, the same as Lin Hao’s.

Outside the conference room, the people of Death Island were still enjoying the buffet.

Having never tasted such delicious food in their lifetimes, they wished they could consume in one day all the delicacies they could eat in their entire lives. Even towards the end, no one knows who suggested to Lan Tianhao and Li Qi about the legendary Manchu Han Imperial Feast, and upon hearing about it, they actually had the audacity to inquire.

The banquet entered another climax and no one even noticed Lin Hao’s reappearance.

Lin Hao didn’t disturb the revelers and simply called Song Qinghong, Song Taishan, Huai Shian, and Louis Diobus into a quiet room.

After closing the door, Lin Hao sat at the head of the table without speaking, pondering over how to start the conversation.

Lin Hao remained silent, and while it didn’t seem to affect Song Qinghong and the others, it terrified Louis Diobus, who sat anxiously in the farthest corner.

With the return this time, not only were there clan members from Death Island on the Ancient Ship, but also survivors stranded on Death Island.

Most of these survivors were not from Huaxia. Except for Lan Yue Yuxue who declared her identity shortly after landing and decided to leave, even Poison Rose, who had a good relationship with Lin Hao, was isolated.

By now, those foreign survivors had no privilege to enjoy the feast with the people of Death Island; instead, they were placed under house arrest in the resident’s dining hall, watched over by fully armed soldiers.

Lin Hao summoned Song Qinghong and the others, and even Louis Diobus knew it was a summons to trusted confidants.

What was he, Louis Diobus? He had enough self-awareness.

This can’t be good!

Louis Diobus sat nervously in the distance, afraid that Lin Hao would notice him.

And Lin Hao sat silently.

Gradually, the atmosphere in the room quietened. Song Qinghong and the others exchanged glances and then all turned to look at Lin Hao, waiting in silence.

"Have you not contacted your clan and sect members?" After a while, Lin Hao finally took a deep breath and turned to Song Qinghong and the others.

The three were startled, a bad premonition rising in their hearts, and they shook their heads vigorously: "Not yet."

"Hmm... something went wrong." Lin Hao looked at the three with much guilt: "A big thing went wrong."

The trio was startled again and their expressions became solemn, silently waiting for Lin Hao to continue.

"We were in the Death Sea Domain for less than two months, but in reality, five years have passed," Lin Hao said slowly. "Five years, so much has happened. Huaxia is in peril, the West has risen, and a year ago, the East Atlantic Company, in conjunction with the eight great Western families, ambushed us."

Lin Hao paused, his tone growing heavy: "The Song Family, Mingyang Sect, almost entirely annihilated, the casualties severe, almost to the point of extinction!"

"Duang!"

Just as his words fell, a sudden sound of something heavy hitting the floor rang out in the room – Louis Diobus had fallen from his chair, white as a sheet, trembling all over.

The Louis family, wasn’t it one of the eight great Western families?

Now Louis Diobus knew why he had been summoned here. This was clearly...

"It’s a misunderstanding!"

Before he could even get up from the ground, Louis Diobus was suddenly overcome with grief, knelt on the floor, crying and howling in his half-competent Huaxia language.
