Zongwang: Unspeakable fear!

Chapter 863 Liquidation (3K votes requested)
Sauron turned sharply to the goblin elder beside him, his eyes wide as he questioned in a low voice, "Elder Hydaelin, you mustn't say you didn't know about this."

Hydelin was the goblin elder whom Gao Yang had first noticed was acting strangely. Now, after being questioned by Sauron and seeing the deaths of his three companions, he realized he could no longer hide the truth.

Compared to those private, sordid matters, the survival of the Great Trade Federation is far more important.

Seeing this, Hydelin hesitated for a moment before saying dejectedly, "Soren, I do know about this matter. The assassination of the Feather King was indeed done by my subordinates on their own initiative."

Soren's face, which had been filled with anger, seemed to have all its strength drained away upon hearing Hydaelin's words, and even his back hunched over.

He stared intently at Heideling, wishing he could tear him apart.

Not only did he commit the assassination, but he also left behind incriminating evidence. And to make matters worse, he didn't even kill anyone. Most importantly, the enemy came to his door, but he was still kept in the dark.

All these things left Soren feeling utterly exhausted.

In that instant, Soren began to doubt himself. Had he really made a mistake by delegating power?

Gao Yang looked at Soren. Soren's current behavior had proven him right. As the leader of the faction, Soren had to stand up.

Soren knew he was in the wrong, especially since his aggrieved party had now come to their doorstep. Most importantly, their entire force couldn't even defeat one of their opponents. Under these circumstances, they had no choice but to back down.

Soren looked at Gao Yang and said without hesitation, "Your Majesty, this matter was indeed a mistake made by our Great Trade Federation. Why don't we go down first, sit down and have a proper talk? I will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation."

Faced with Soren's attempt to back down, Gao Yang refused without hesitation: "No need. Let's resolve this here. I don't have time to watch your act."

Soren's expression was grim, but faced with Gao Yang's request, he still couldn't bring himself to refuse. He could only bite the bullet and say, "Your Excellency, what do you mean?"

Gao Yang stared into Soren's eyes, his voice cold: "Everyone involved in this must die, including him, and..."

As he spoke, Gao Yang raised his hand and pointed to Elder Hydelin beside Soren.

"This is impossible!"

Gao Yang was interrupted by Soren before he could finish speaking.

Gao Yang didn't care at all, and just said to himself, "Including you, I want you to cut off your own arm as a warning to others."

Soren was stunned for a moment, then his anger soared to the sky. He was, after all, a veteran powerhouse who had been famous on the continent of Kovale for a hundred years, and now he was being forced by you to cut off his own arm as an apology!
Once he does this, it's practically the same as being dead.

"Hmph, in my opinion, you have no intention of having a proper talk, do you, King Yu?" Soren sneered, and the battle staff in his hand once again emitted a dazzling golden light.

Soren only intended to demonstrate his strength, but unexpectedly, when faced with his questioning, Gao Yang suddenly grinned, revealing a cold smile, and said, "That's right."

As soon as he finished speaking, a murderous aura surged forth from Gao Yang in all directions, transforming into a tangible hurricane that crashed into Soren and his companions.

At that moment, with the activation of Gao Yang's Cataclysmic Domain, all of Sauron and the others in the scene were subjected to a test of the Cataclysmic Aura.

A golden light flashed in Soren's eyes, and he forcibly exempted Soren from the examination.

However, the other four legends behind him, including Elder Hydelin, did not have this ability. Under Gao Yang's aura, fear gradually appeared in their eyes, and they instantly fell into a state of trembling.

Soren looked at Gao Yang's surging battle aura and felt a chill run down his spine.

He already understood that if he fought again now, the elders behind him would be killed instantly.

To save face or to perish together?
There are never any options in this problem!

Just as Gao Yang raised his sword, Soren suddenly shouted, "Wait, I agree!"

Gao Yang stopped what he was doing and looked at Soren opposite him.

After Sauron roared those words, it was as if all the strength had been drained from his body. He looked bitterly at Hydalin beside him, his lips moved slightly, and he slowly spoke:
"Elder, if you do something wrong, you have to admit it. We are not the only ones in this world who can kill others. There is no such logic."

Others can kill us, you should understand that.

Hydalin looked at Sauron, who seemed to have had his spine ripped out in an instant, and his panic reached its peak.

He didn't want to die. He still had thousands of years left to live, and he had plenty of time to enjoy everything. How could he die here?

Heideling's mind raced as he considered every possible way to save his life.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind, and he turned to look at Gao Yang opposite him, saying, "Your Majesty, this matter was not initiated by me, but forced upon me. It was the Lord of the Soren Federation, his son Aldin!"

At this point, Heideling's hesitation seemed to vanish completely, and he spoke rapidly and clearly: "Aldin orchestrated this matter, and I was forced to carry out the assassination attempt against you under duress."

If it weren't for Aldin, I would tremble at the mere mention of your name; how could I possibly dare to provoke you?

Soren looked at Hydalin with a gaze that seemed to want to devour him alive. This old bastard didn't care about the Federation at all, and instead took the initiative to implicate his own people at this time.

Gao Yang nodded slightly: "Yes, Aldin must die too. Are there any others?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Hydelin exclaimed as if a drowning man had grasped at the last straw, "Aldin's companions, teachers, and others are all involved in this matter, and they are currently surrounding Aldin."

"Furthermore, I am of the same race as Matthew, the president of the Goblin and Dwarf Merchant Guild. If you don't believe me, I can have President Matthew prove it." As he spoke, Hydelin took out a metal communicator from his pocket and dialed a number in front of Gao Yang.

Soon, the communicator was connected, and the upper body of President Matthew was displayed on the transparent screen.

On the screen, President Matthew frowned slightly in surprise and looked at Hydalin, asking, "Hydalin, what do you want with me?"

"President Matthew, no... Brother Matthew, please save me, save me, I don't want to die!" Heideling looked at Matthew with a pleading expression.

"What is it? Explain yourself." President Matthew frowned even more, his dissatisfaction with Hydelin, his branch brother who had long since separated from the main branch, growing even stronger.

Heidelin quickly spoke up: "The Feather King of the Immortal Wasteland has come to Vagori to kill me. Aren't you on good terms with the Immortal Wasteland? Can you plead with His Majesty the Feather King for me and ask him to spare me for your sake? I really know I was wrong."

Matthew's eyes widened, and without the slightest hesitation, he hung up the call.

What a joke! He had finally established a fairly good relationship with the Feather King of the Immortal Wasteland, and he was counting on some rare resources that Gao Yang would leak out of his fingers to improve his status in the Chamber of Commerce.

How could I possibly do something that would disgust Gao Yang at this time?

Furthermore, you, Hydaelin, are merely a newly crowned legend. What right do you have to make the branch president of the Goblin and Gnome Merchant Guild use his precious personal connections to save your life?

Furthermore, do you mean you know you're wrong? You clearly only know you're going to die.

Matthew abruptly hung up the call, leaving Hydelin, who was clutching at a straw, stunned. He then frantically pressed the communicator again, trying to get back on track.

"Put it back on! The communication must have been interrupted just now, Your Majesty, please wait a moment."

Gao Yang looked at Heideling, who seemed to be going crazy, and shook his head slightly.

This person failed the test of the natural disaster aura and fell into a state of trembling. At this moment, he was so frightened that he had lost all dignity as a legendary powerhouse.

"No need, you can go on your way first."

As soon as Gao Yang finished speaking, he slashed at Hydelin with his sword.

Faced with this sword strike, Sauron frowned, but still did not choose to help block it. Instead, he took a step back, exposing Hydaelin to the sword's aura.

"No, I"

Heideling held up the communicator, wanting to say something, but the sword energy had already sliced ​​him in half.

Gao Yang has obtained two more crystals of the essence of life.

After killing Hydalin, Gao Yang looked at Soren again and asked, "Is Aldin your son?"

Soren nodded with a bitter expression.

If he had known it was his son causing trouble in secret, Gao Yang wouldn't have needed to come; he would have slapped that unfilial son to death long ago.

Gao Yang lowered his eyelids and said softly, "Kill him. I hope this is the first time, but also the last."

Seeing this, Soren did not hesitate at all, and slammed his golden battle staff down towards the center of the building complex below.

In the complex of buildings, Aldin and his companions were taking shelter from the aftermath of the battle when they suddenly felt the world shake, followed by a blinding golden light that filled their vision.

The next moment, their minds were plunged into eternal darkness.

With a single blow, Soren killed Aldin and the rest of the men. He looked at Gao Yang and, seeing that the other party made no statement or move, swiftly swept his own left arm with his staff.

With a loud "bang," blood mist filled the air as Sauron smashed his own left arm into a bloody mess.

While this injury is not fatal for Sauron, it will take some time for him to recover.

Soren put away his battle staff, lowered his head slightly to look at Gao Yang, and slowly asked, "Your Excellency Feather King, I have fulfilled all your requests. Are you satisfied?"

"Remember, there will be no next time."

Gao Yang withdrew his gaze, left a sentence, and turned to fly towards the Immortal Wasteland.

Soren stood there, watching Gao Yang slowly fly away until he completely disappeared from sight, before dejectedly turning his gaze away.

"Federal Lord".

Beside him, a senior elder of goblin-human hybrid descent spoke up.

"Take care of today's matter first, seal off Vagoli, and absolutely do not allow any news to get out." After saying this, Soren disappeared from the sight of the three elders.

The three elders exchanged glances, and filled with the joy of escaping death, they quickly began to act.
