The Supreme Martial Expert of the Female CEO-Chapter 1719 - 1717: Shi Yang’s Despair

"Your Majesty, why don’t we just keep them here?" Soulsorrow asked somewhat confusedly, "Their strength is decent, but if we wanted to, we could still capture them all!"

The Netherworld King shook his head and said, "No, these three hundred people are the last of our Nether Clan’s strength. I can’t waste that strength here."

"So, should we support the Shark People Clan then?" Soulsorrow asked.

The Netherworld King chuckled, "Support the Shark People Clan? Why should we support them? Let them be the targets to draw fire. Meanwhile, we in the Nether Clan can take this opportunity to relocate all our people to a safe place to recuperate and revitalize."

Soulsorrow was stunned; the Netherworld King’s words contradicted what was previously said. According to the Netherworld King... did he never intend to help the Shark People Clan from the start?

The Netherworld King looked at Soulsorrow and said calmly, "Soulsorrow, remember, you are a member of the Nether Clan. Now, the Nether Clan is not as strong as the outside rumors suggest. Making enemies with so many can greatly weaken our clan’s power."

"I know you’ve made promises to His Majesty of the Shark People Clan, but we must prioritize the Nether Clan now!" The Netherworld King patted Soulsorrow’s shoulder and said, "You have broken the gate of prohibition and have rendered great service to the Nether Clan. You are a meritorious official, and I have many important tasks for you in the future."

Soulsorrow took a deep breath, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for nurturing me. Soulsorrow will not disappoint your trust and cultivation!"

"Good, now let’s go. The Sea of Spiritual Void is no longer safe. We must find another suitable place for the Nether Clan to settle!"

...

When Senior Gui Hao informed Ling Feng about the situation, Ling Feng’s heart sank. In rushing to get there, he still arrived too late.

"Son-in-law, what should we do now?" Gui Hao asked, "It’s not good news for us if the Shark People Clan gains the support of the Nether Clan!"

Ling Feng squinted slightly, "Senior Gui Hao, you said they didn’t pursue when you retreated, right?"

"That’s correct; I also found it strange, but given the urgency at the time, I didn’t think too much about it!"

A slight smile appeared on Ling Feng’s lips, "If my calculations are correct, the Nether Clan might not be planning to get involved in the Shark People Clan’s affairs!"

"What makes you say that?" Gui Hao asked curiously.

"Firstly, the Nether Clan has just emerged. Their power can’t be fully exerted, and the Shark People Clan is already in decline. If the Nether Clan supports them, they’ll face pressure from the Fishmen Race, Sea Beast Tribe, and the Abyssal Legion. If you were the king of the Nether Clan, what would you choose?"

At this point, Gui Hao was taken aback, then said, "No wonder! So they were never intending to help the Shark People Clan?"

Ling Feng slightly nodded, "It’s just my guess. Even if they help, it might just be for appearances. Regardless of their choice, this war needs to end quickly!"

Ling Feng looked at Gui Hao and said, "Senior Gui Hao, we’ve taken over 70% of the Shark People Clan’s territory. We need to cut through the mess quickly. I want you to lead a powerful Sharp Blade Army that strikes directly at their heart and takes the Royal City!"

Ling Feng’s face turned serious, "If the Nether Clan has masters aiding the Shark People Clan, I will bring the main force to support you. Our operation must be swift and decisive!"

Gui Hao nodded, "I understand. When can this team be organized?"

"In a day, I will gather the experts from the Azure Sky Realm within the main army. I’ve estimated around eight hundred people."

Gui Hao frowned, "If all eight hundred are under my command, there will be no one to protect you, Son-in-law..."

"I am already at the Firmament Realm’s cultivation level; I don’t need protection!" Ling Feng said with a smile, "Even a master at the later stage of the Firmament Realm can’t easily kill me. If I can’t win, I can still run, can’t I?"

Gui Hao chuckled, "Since the Son-in-law has made his decision, Gui Hao will not disappoint!"

Meanwhile, for Shi Yang, time was crawling. Soulsorrow mentioned reinforcements would arrive in five days when he left, but it had been five days, and there was no sign of the Nether Clan masters!

"Could it be that the Nether Clan doesn’t plan to support me? No way. Besides my Shark People Clan, they can’t cooperate with the Fishmen Race or Sea Beast Tribe. The Netherworld Clan was imprisoned by the Demon King, and Ling Feng is the Demon King’s son-in-law; they can’t coexist! Thus, they can only help me, but why haven’t they arrived? Could something have gone wrong?"

Shi Yang felt anxious, as things seemed out of control beyond his expectations.

Reports of losses throughout the Shark People Clan’s territory flew in, further agitating Shi Yang.

Though the situation was dire, fortunately, after two purges, opposition within the Royal City was minimal, and many believed His Majesty Shi Yang held the cards to reverse everything.

But they had no idea that Shi Yang was now at his wit’s end.

"Your Majesty!" At this moment, Soulsorrow’s voice reached Shi Yang’s ears, filling him with excitement.

"Cough, Soulsorrow, you’re finally back!" Shi Yang clenched his fists, "Is the Nether Clan’s matter resolved?"

"Thanks to Your Majesty, our Nether Clan has now completely broken free from restraints!" Soulsorrow looked calmly at Shi Yang.

"That’s great!" Shi Yang couldn’t help but show a hint of a smile, "With the Nether Clan’s assistance, what are mere Fishmen? I will definitely rule the Sea of Spiritual Void again!"

Watching the excited Shi Yang, Soulsorrow couldn’t help but sigh, "Your Majesty, there’s something crucial I must tell you!"

"What is it?" Seeing Soulsorrow’s serious expression, Shi Yang felt an ominous premonition.

"Our Nether Clan has left the Sea of Spiritual Void!" Soulsorrow said calmly, "If we supported the Shark People Clan, we would suffer great losses, so our king has decided to leave this place of contention!"

"What?" Shi Yang was utterly stunned. He knew the Nether Clan might leave the Sea of Spiritual Void someday, but not this soon. With their power, dealing with the forces in the Sea of Spiritual Void should have been straightforward!
