If Ouyang Ningxue knew that Li Xuanzu, at only the third rank, could overwhelm her in speed, strength, and combat experience, it would probably cause her considerable psychological trauma.
Of course, Li Xuanzu wouldn't say these things.
The next day, the group arrived in the Tibetan region, where the number of wandering zombies had visibly increased.
Meanwhile, good news came from Kyoto: Elder Huang had successfully persuaded Leng An to seize power in the Dragon Kingdom, and now Elder Huang was in charge of the entire Dragon Kingdom.
Shanghai is merely a strategic security point; there aren't many troops or high-ranking officials residing there, so it would be quite easy for Elder Huang to control Shanghai.
The Dragon Kingdom currently has five Tier 3 psychic abilities, all of whom are under the command of Elder Huang. This force is like a bulldozer wherever it is deployed.
Unfortunately, Li Xuanzu did not have Huang Lao's contact information, and he could not contact high-level figures like Huang Lao with his mobile phone. Ouyang Ningxue's account had not yet been unblocked.
These messages were all released by the official website of the Psionicists.
The news broke almost immediately after Huang Lao imprisoned several other top leaders.
Not long after, about ten minutes later, Li Xuanzu's phone, which had been blocked and was temporarily being used as a map, rang.
The caller ID showed it was indeed Mr. Huang.
"Thank you, Ancestor." Old Huang's voice came through immediately after the call was connected.
"You're practically a friend to me, why are you thanking me? Besides, helping you is also helping myself." Li Xuanzu's tone was completely indifferent.
"And that Fang Hui, she's really annoying when she talks. I'll kill her when I get back to Kyoto."
“However, before that…” Li Xuanzu suddenly changed the subject, “Don’t you need to explain to me first what your motives are for plotting against me?”
Old Huang had long expected Li Xuanzu to say this, but hearing his cold tone now, he felt even more pressure.
"I...I'm sorry, I really have no choice. The Dragon Kingdom desperately needs help, but I can't openly accept your help. The common people harbor too much resentment towards you." Old Huang explained, wanting to finish the story quickly.
"So, you had Fang Hui provoke me, then used the Dragon Kingdom Biochemical Association as a pretext to make me wary, and finally, you made your stance clear, siding with me, forcing me to lend you a third-tier spirit core to support you, or rather, to support you in helping the Dragon Kingdom, right?"
Li Xuanzu's voice remained calm, devoid of any other emotion.
"I'm sorry, Xuanzu, I have no choice. Please give me a chance. I want the Dragon Kingdom to live. Please, I don't want to die now." Old Huang became increasingly flustered as he listened to Li Xuanzu's words. This old man had never been in such a predicament before.
"Stop. I never said I wanted to kill you. We're still friends. But stop plotting against me. I have no interest in your childish games." Li Xuanzu's voice finally changed, tinged with anger, and he hung up the phone.
Old Huang stared blankly at the ceiling as he listened to the busy tone on the other end of the phone.
Then, he gave a self-deprecating laugh.
"Ha, so it turns out, from beginning to end, I was the only bastard." After saying this, Old Huang's hands went limp, and his phone fell to the ground.
At this moment, Old Huang truly showed his age.
"Then I, with this withered body nearing the end, will lead the Dragon Kingdom to the pinnacle of the world!" Old Huang's eyes gradually cleared, and his voice became exceptionally loud.
"This country needs a truly wicked person!"
