National Guardian's Gone and We're Done-Chapter 94: This Really Is Mud in the Pants, an Inexplicable Mess
Only then did the members of the Lighthouse Empire’s Guard begin to take Xiao Cangqing seriously.
Just as they were about to take out their communication devices to contact their superiors, several figures arrived from a distance at an incredible speed.
Xiao Cangqing understood with a single glance.
The weakest among them were at the King-level, while the strongest was an Emperor Realm expert.
"Who are you?"
The Emperor Realm expert was a bald man from the Lighthouse Empire.
He wore flip-flops and was dressed in casual, beach-vacation attire, as if he’d just been sunbathing.
He watched Xiao Cangqing warily.
The few King-level experts silently blocked all of Xiao Cangqing’s escape routes.
It was clear that if Xiao Cangqing couldn’t provide a satisfactory answer today, leaving would be difficult.
Xiao Cangqing had anticipated this scene, so he spoke calmly and confidently, "I am Xiao Cangqing.
I imagine my name is not unfamiliar to you. After all, the reason your Lighthouse Empire was able to establish a Martial Artist Base here...
...is because of me, isn’t it?"
"What are you doing here?
Do you think that just because you’re backed by that New World Organization, you can come barging into our Lighthouse Empire’s territory all by yourself? You’re nothing but a bunch of sewer rats."
The bald man’s lips curled into a disdainful smile.
He even laughed out loud without restraint, his mockery plastered all over his face, completely disregarding Xiao Cangqing’s feelings.
Even though both were Emperor Realm experts, the bald man still acted with an air of superiority.
"This place is supposed to be Fujiang City of the Great Jing Empire.
The Great Jing Empire’s Queen, Ji Shengyue, hired you for protection to bolster her security forces, but I doubt she ceded Fujiang City to you as a gift.
Secondly, I’ve come this time because I want to join your Lighthouse Empire.
Didn’t the Lighthouse Empire issue a statement before?
That anyone, regardless of which empire they come from or what their background is, can join the Lighthouse Empire as long as they are outstanding enough. I now intend to join the Lighthouse Empire."
Xiao Cangqing said.
"Oh, so that’s how it is."
The bald man said in sudden realization.
The Lighthouse Empire did indeed welcome talented individuals from all regions.
Because the Lighthouse Empire’s plan was to dominate the entire Blue Star.
The successful execution of this plan depended on the support of talented people from every field, so the Lighthouse Empire placed great importance on talent.
This had also caused a brain drain in many empires across Blue Star.
The greater and stronger the Lighthouse Empire’s prestige and reputation became, the more severe the brain drain from the various empires on Blue Star.
So, when the bald man heard what Xiao Cangqing said, he was only slightly surprised and felt no suspicion.
After all, the New World Organization had been classified as a criminal organization by the Lighthouse Empire, to be killed on sight.
Staying in a sewer organization like that was certainly not as comfortable or stable as joining the Lighthouse Empire.
The bald man strode up to Xiao Cangqing, raised his hand, and viciously slapped him across the face.
This slap didn’t use any Elemental Power, so it didn’t cause Xiao Cangqing any real injury.
However,
it shattered Xiao Cangqing’s dignity, especially in front of these people he regarded as no better than pigs and dogs.
"If you want to join our Lighthouse Empire, then you should have walked in properly.
You have no right to just release your Emperor Realm aura to intimidate the people of our Lighthouse Empire.
Furthermore, we, the Lighthouse Empire, do not accept employment from any person or empire.
The fact that we are here to protect your Great Jing Empire is an honor for your Great Jing Empire.
If we so wished, your entire Great Jing Empire would be nothing more than a plaything for our Lighthouse Empire."
At this point, the bald man from the Lighthouse Empire slapped Xiao Cangqing across the face again.
Fury blazed in Xiao Cangqing’s eyes. Those two slaps had jolted him awake.
’So what if I’m an Emperor Realm expert?’
’The Lighthouse Empire doesn’t lack Emperor Realm experts right now.’
’Besides, they’ve mastered the technology to fuse humans with Evil Spirits.’
’In other words, the Lighthouse Empire can even mass-produce Emperor Realm experts in a pinch.’
To escape the danger from Chu He and the New World Organization,
Xiao Cangqing had no other path but to join the Lighthouse Empire. No matter how humiliating it was, he could only swallow his pride and endure it.
Seeing that Xiao Cangqing was furious but didn’t dare show it,
the bald man laughed with satisfaction. He patted Xiao Cangqing on the head and said, "Even if you are an Emperor Realm Martial Artist, that alone isn’t enough to qualify. Come with me."
The moment the bald man pulled his hand back,
a sharp flash of sword light suddenly appeared and cleanly severed his wrist.
The bald man screamed and retreated rapidly,
staring in disbelief at his severed wrist, from which blood poured endlessly.
Most importantly, the bald man hadn’t even seen clearly what had suddenly sliced off his wrist.
Just then, a leisurely sigh echoed, "Oh, Xiao Cangqing, Xiao Cangqing.
Wouldn’t it have been better to just stay obediently in the New World Organization and work for me?
You just had to run over here to be humiliated.
Ah, well. I’ll help you get back the face you just lost."
Chu He’s figure appeared out of thin air.
Then, with a slight movement of his finger, an endless killing intent surged through the air.
It rapidly twisted and compressed the space, transforming into the most violent form of attack.
The ordinary members of the Lighthouse Empire’s Guard and the King-level Martial Artists were instantly torn to pieces, dying on the spot.
As for the bald man, he only managed to use his last ounce of strength to shout "Enemy attack!"
before his head lolled to the side and he became a corpse.
’He deliberately let that bald man shout "enemy attack" to expose me!’
Xiao Cangqing’s mind raced.
’I can’t believe Chu He appeared before me in the blink of an eye.’
’When I overheard his conversation with the goat-headed Evil Spirit, wasn’t he going to the Great Xia Empire?’
Xiao Cangqing simply couldn’t comprehend Chu He’s methods.
Before Xiao Cangqing could say anything more,
he felt a wave of dizziness. His mouth then opened against his will, and he shouted, "I, Xiao Cangqing,
as the dignified National Guardian War God of the Great Jing Empire, have already chosen the path of betrayal and done many things detrimental to the Great Jing Empire.
But I absolutely will not stand by and watch the Lighthouse Empire establish a Martial Artist Base on the territory of the Great Jing Empire!
This is a humiliating matter for the Great Jing Empire!
Today, I have killed one Emperor Realm expert and a bunch of weaklings. This is merely the interest.
As long as the Lighthouse Empire remains in the Great Jing Empire for even one day, I will continue to kill you!"
After he finished speaking, control of his body returned. At that moment, he understood everything completely.
’That so-called dazed state where my combat power skyrocketed was all a lie! It was all Chu He controlling me!’
The words that had just come out of his mouth, wrapped in a powerful force, had already spread clearly across more than half of Fujiang City.
This was like having mud fall into his trousers—he had a mouth, but he couldn’t explain his way out of this.
"Just stay put in the New World Organization. After all, you’re still useful. I need you to probe the hidden strength of the Lighthouse Empire."
Chu He’s voice faded in Xiao Cangqing’s ears until it disappeared completely.
Snapping back to his senses, Xiao Cangqing spun around and fled.
He knew he was utterly finished. The Lighthouse Empire would surely hunt him down at all costs.
