Chapter 2149: The Hunt
After Elmer’s instigation, Michael quickly made a decision.
The two hit it off at once, then immediately began to put their plan into action.
Early the next morning, the warriors of the Elf Clan and Angel Clan set out from the isolated island, rushing to every corner of Europe. The reason they chose to start their expansion from Europe was because Europe was now Blood Clan territory; if they could open a breach here, it would make it much easier for them to dismantle the Blood Clan’s power.
Besides, because Europe was vast in territory, it hid many forces of all sizes.
Although these forces were scattered, if they could all be subdued and brought together, they would absolutely form an organization of extremely terrifying strength. With the Elf Clan and Angel Clan pulling the strings behind the scenes, they would definitely have the capability to arm-wrestle with the Blood Clan and Sky Net.
Over basically just a single day, the warriors of the Elf Clan and Angel Clan swept through more than half of Europe.
Any force that dared not submit, they slaughtered to the last, not talking reason at all!
The slaughter they caused in this one day, even if it didn’t quite match the death toll from when Sky Net and the Blood Clan joined forces against the Bright Church, was not far off. It directly threw the whole of Europe back into panic, and reignited the flames of war.
Although the warriors of the Elf Clan and Angel Clan were committing great slaughter across the European Continent, under their harsh iron-blooded methods, more and more forces began to choose to submit to them.
When Elmer finally tallied things up, he found that within a single day, they had actually absorbed a three-digit number of forces!
Though there were big, medium, and small forces among them, once gathered together, their combined strength was still not to be underestimated!
Everything was developing perfectly in the direction Elmer had envisioned. As soon as the Holy Spirit Church created by him and Michael was officially established, that would be the day they marched against the Blood Clan and Sky Net!
The Elf Clan and Angel Clan were making such a huge racket that it naturally soon drew the attention of the Blood Clan and Sky Net.
Almost as soon as they made their first move, the information had already been delivered into the hands of Xiao Zheng and Hades.
Seeing one fresh report after another about the Holy Spirit Church, Xiao Zheng and Hades couldn’t help but frown.
"What are they doing?"
Hades set down the white slip of paper in her hand and asked.
Hearing this, Xiao Zheng thought for a moment, then said, "Although I’m not yet clear about their plan, one thing’s certain: we can’t let them get what they want. Since they dare to do this, they must have some conspiracy behind it."
"What we need to do now is mobilize our people and then go kill them!"
"We don’t have manpower. Only you and I can move," Hades said. "The intel says that in the group from the Elf Clan and Angel Clan, the lowest cultivation is in the Transcendent Realm."
"If we send anyone below the Transcendent Realm over, it’ll just be sending them to their deaths."
It was rare for her to say so many words in one breath, which was enough to show how seriously she took this matter.
After hearing her words, Xiao Zheng couldn’t help but laugh and say, "Of course only the two of us can move, but there’s no need to chase around after that bunch. As long as we find the leaders, Michael and Elmer, and kill them, we can directly shatter their alliance."
"I’ll have the brothers in Sky Net’s Europe branch start investigating immediately."
"The Blood Clan will help as well," Hades said.
Soon, two orders from them shot out from the Netherworld King Temple.
However, when the latest intel came back, the two of them couldn’t help but frown again. Because the newest reports showed that neither Sky Net nor the Blood Clan had managed to find any trace of Michael and Elmer.
The two of them seemed to have evaporated into thin air, or as if they had never come out of the Ancient World in the first place.
In short, no matter how Sky Net and the Blood Clan’s agents asked around, they couldn’t get a single lead on Michael and Elmer’s movements.
Looking down at the white slip of paper in his hand, Xiao Zheng’s eyes flashed with a chill as he said, "I get it. They want to hide in the shadows and reap the fisherman’s benefit!"
"The Ancient Clan really is insidious, actually trying to reap the fisherman’s benefit!"
Hearing this, Hades quickly reacted and said, "You’re saying they plan to rely on this Holy Spirit Church to go up against us?"
Xiao Zheng nodded and said, "I’m afraid the truth is more than just that. Besides wanting to use this Holy Spirit Church to fight us, they also want to use the Holy Spirit Church to search for clues about the Golden Bone."
Just from a few slips of paper passed back through the intelligence system, he had already seen through Elmer’s entire plan.
If Elmer had been there, he would definitely have been deeply shocked.
After listening to Xiao Zheng’s analysis, Hades asked, "Then what should we do next? Do we move directly?"
No matter what she was dealing with, she had always been decisive and ruthless.
Xiao Zheng nodded. "Of course we kill. Otherwise, what, keep them around to celebrate the New Year with us? Just so happens we can use this chance to gather a batch of materials to make Soul Holy Stones. The sooner we help Long Qie and the others break through to the Transcendent Realm, the more it’ll benefit us."
"Let’s go. This time we’ll see which of us can catch more people."
At these words, Hades’ gaze instantly turned razor-sharp.
Her whole person was like an unsheathed Divine Sword, edge fully revealed!
Seeing Hades get serious, Xiao Zheng couldn’t help but burst out laughing. "Then it’s settled. Time limit: one day. Starting from the Netherworld King Temple, I’ll go east, you go west, and we’ll see who wins."
His words had barely fallen when Hades had already shot into the sky, unable to wait.
Xiao Zheng was not to be outdone and flew off in the opposite direction.
Now that resources had been integrated, both Sky Net’s and the Blood Clan’s intelligence systems had been greatly strengthened. The movements of those warriors from the Elf Clan and Angel Clan had long been locked onto by Xiao Zheng and Hades.
Thirteen from the Elf Clan, fifteen from the Angel Clan!
Twenty-eight people in total, scattered all over Europe, wreaking havoc!
Xiao Zheng directly locked onto the Angel Clan warrior closest to him. Name unknown, also a Six-winged Angel, but his combat strength was somewhat weaker than Carl’s.
According to the latest intel from Long Qie, this Angel Clan warrior had just appeared in a small town called Qiya Town ten minutes earlier.
In less than a minute, Xiao Zheng had arrived at Qiya Town.
When he reached Qiya Town, he happened to run into the Angel Clan warrior just as he was about to leave. Xiao Zheng naturally wouldn’t let him go. With just a single move, he easily captured him alive!
"That’s the first one!"
