Chapter 1670: Members of the Killing God Temple Arrive!
"What explanation do I owe you?"
Jiang Feng sneered coldly, clearly displeased with Chen Longxiang’s words.
"Playing dumb, are you? How can you hog all the benefits for yourself? Our Dragon Group has at least put in some effort, you should at least share a bit..." Chen Longxiang retorted indignantly.
"What are you talking about? I destroyed the Netherworld Hall all by myself, your team leader just tagged along, and it wasn’t even at my invitation. What is there to share?"
Jiang Feng replied dismissively, "Besides, your Dragon Group is loaded with resources. Do you really need to covet what little I have?"
What little?!
Chen Longxiang was speechless with rage at Jiang Feng’s shamelessness.
Everyone knows that when Jiang Feng exterminated the Netherworld Hall, he completely cleaned them out, including transporting countless secret books from the Book Pavilion, yet he has the nerve to say ’what little’?!
"And what about our leader? Do you know that our leader is someone of considerable charm and prestige, and yet you made her so angry she cried when she got back? She hasn’t seen anyone since, just drinks and throws tantrums. How do you expect me, as the vice leader, to face anyone and explain this to our subordinates?" Chen Longxiang defended Mu Qiuyi.
"Made her cry?"
This was unexpected for Jiang Feng; such a tough woman could actually be driven to tears?
But recalling the harsh words he exchanged with Mu Qiuyi upon returning, they indeed had been rather sharp and unkind...
"Tell her this: I, Jiang Feng, may have gone too far this time, and I’ll apologize to her in person another day." Jiang Feng said reluctantly.
"Hmph! You better apologize to her in person; I can’t convey this message. She vents all her anger on me now!"
Chen Longxiang snorted, feeling that Jiang Feng was finally making sense, then added, "Back to the point, I’m calling you not just to hold you accountable, but also to inform you of something important!"
"Jiang Feng, are you aware that recently, our northern border security post was invaded by a group of foreign individuals, who killed over two thousand sentinels mercilessly! They were extremely brutal and destroyed any trace of evidence by burning the scene down."
"This incident has provoked extreme anger at the highest levels, who have ordered a thorough investigation and issued alerts to all provinces, if any suspicious individuals are detected entering the country, they must be apprehended and reported immediately, to prevent any threat to national livelihood..."
"What does this have to do with me?" Jiang Feng frowned, feeling this seemed unrelated to him whatsoever!
"Unrelated?"
Chen Longxiang said angrily, "You dare say it’s unrelated? If you use your brain a bit, you’ll realize that this can’t be unconnected to you!"
"China has been peaceful for a long time, the nation is strong and thriving, it would be rare for foreign individuals to invade rashly, especially not openly kill border sentinels!"
"Even dark forces, like those of the Netherworld Hall, would merely dare to infiltrate quietly, never daring to openly kill sentinels!"
"But you, in your recent annihilation of the Netherworld Hall, created such an uproar, it’s possible you provoked others, forcing them to act desperately, disregarding regulations and taboos!"
"Ha, you’re saying that someone would cause such a ruckus in such a large country because of me?"
Jiang Feng scoffed: "At least provide some evidence..."
"Evidence, huh? Fine!"
Chen Longxiang interrupted Jiang Feng, "Based on blurred surveillance footage I’ve gathered from the border, I recognized someone who looks strikingly similar to a notorious butcher-like figure from the West, known for killing without batting an eye, named Abraham!"
"And from what I know, this Abraham later vanished, with some speculating he likely joined the Eighteen Hells!"
"If it’s true, do you think he entered the country not because of you? There’s nothing coincidental about that, especially since you destroyed the Netherworld Hall!" Chen Longxiang said gravely.
Abraham!
Jiang Feng noted the name down, calmly saying, "Alright, stop nagging. I’ll investigate as well. If they indeed came for me, I’ll make sure they never return, and I’ll provide an explanation to the country, to console the souls of those sentinel soldiers up in the heavens. But if that’s not the case, don’t bother me needlessly, I’m busy."
With that, Jiang Feng hung up the phone, feeling a bit heavy-hearted.
If what Chen Longxiang said is true, and those people came for him, spilling blood at the border and slaughtering two thousand, then he indeed bears a grave sin.
Causing two thousand innocent people to die, even he can’t ignore the weight of something like that.
"Jiang Feng, what was that call about just now? Did I hear the name Abraham?"
The Ice Woman, who hadn’t retreated yet, suddenly looked at Jiang Feng and asked.
She had been eavesdropping the whole time Jiang Feng was on the call and finally asked.
"You know him?" Jiang Feng frowned.
"Of course! This person is one of the Killing God Temple!!!"
The Ice Woman was slightly terrified, "He was also promoted by the Vice Hall Master of the Killing God Temple, a squadron leader ranking within the temple, a formidable presence throughout the entire temple!"
"Now that the Killing God Temple has really sent him out... seems I wasn’t wrong, King Zhuanlun has deployed the Killing God Temple this time..."
Jiang Feng sighed helplessly upon hearing this.
It looks like he can’t escape this moral debt, it really was because of him that those two thousand people were wrongfully killed!
"Alright, this Abraham is one of the few who’ve managed to anger me without even showing his face!"
Jiang Feng said coldly, "They probably, like you once did, can quickly pinpoint my identity, find my location in the Provincial City, and come after me!"
"Since that’s the case, I’ll continue to bide my time, and am curious what kind of audacity these fools seeking death have!"
The Ice Woman shook her head, a complicated expression on her face, "That may be so, but what I’m worried about is Abraham and the others causing a terrorist incident..."
"Jiang Feng, you don’t understand how terrifying the Killing God Temple organization is, it’s full of lawless individuals!"
"They behave in the headquarters under the watchful eyes of the Chamber Master and King Zhuanlun, but once out, they become unleashed beasts, eager to plunge the world into chaos!"
"Now, I just hope they’re also wary of the powerful nation of China, as I once was, only daring to infiltrate quietly rather than killing their way through."
"Otherwise, you will undoubtedly be labeled a traitor to your nation..."
