Zhou Zhenbei arrived outside the base and looked at the torrential rain.
The thought of Li Yu and those past events made him unable to control his anger, as if a volcano was about to erupt.
"Li Yu!"
He practically spat out the name through gritted teeth.
However, Zhou Zhenbei's intense hatred quickly turned into contempt:
"With a bit of strength, he actually dared to go to the Changshengmen headquarters to seek death."
He really thought that becoming a star lord made him invincible.
They're so arrogant and ignorant, they've forgotten their own limitations.
Even he wouldn't want to cross the Changsheng Sect.
A deep sense of apprehension flashed in Zhou Zhenbei's eyes:
'Those immortal monsters inside have lived for countless years, and their methods are more insidious than you can imagine!'
It's fair to say they've almost lost all humanity.
Li Yu's trip was tantamount to courting death; he walked right into a trap.
Zhou Zhenbei's lips curled into a grimace as he muttered:
"An opportunity...a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"
Now he no longer needs to seek opportunities or risk being supervised by the other three generals to forcibly kill Li Yu.
This is a perfect opportunity to use someone else to do the dirty work.
Want to be a savior?
"Hmph!" A murderous glint flashed in Zhou Zhenbei's eyes:
Not only would he not let Li Yu have her way, he would also make Li Yu die there.
He was determined to make those old geezers take drastic measures against Li Yu this time.
Thinking of this, Zhou Zhenbei immediately mobilized his energy, causing his entire body to vibrate!
"Suppressing Mountains and Rivers..."
As soon as the words were spoken, the corresponding token lit up.
His afterimage instantly appeared at another token location.
Beside the token, an Awakened One dressed in a black, tight-fitting combat suit, with an aura as calm and collected as stone, seemed to have been waiting there all along.
Upon seeing the phantom appear, he immediately knelt on one knee, clenched his right fist against his chest, and gave a special military salute:
"General!"
The voice was crisp and clear, without the slightest hesitation.
Be ready to accept new tasks at any time.
Zhou Zhenbei's illusory figure nodded to the Awakened One who had been waiting there:
"Thanks for your hard work."
"Prepare to activate your abilities immediately. I need to personally contact the people from the Changsheng Sect who will be there to meet you."
"yes!"
The awakened one had clearly undergone systematic training; he immediately took out a device and placed his hands on it.
Close your eyes and concentrate.
He then activated his abilities and quickly established a connection with one of the familiar nodes.
The azure energy stabilized, and the noise within the device subsided.
Instead, a hoarse voice, seemingly filtered through layers, neither male nor female, possessing a strange resonance, was heard:
"What's up?"
The voice was cold and distant.
"I am Zhou Zhenbei."
Zhou Zhenbei's answer clearly surprised the other party.
Clearly, they didn't expect it to be this person who contacted them personally.
"General Zhou... what a rare guest. Contacting you at this time, it seems there's something urgent?"
The voice was neither hurried nor slow, yet it possessed a unique quality that seemed to understand people's hearts.
The other person seemed to have connected it to something recent, and suddenly changed the subject, with a hint of amusement:
"Is General Zhou here to warn us to be careful? Or is he here to plead for the 'hero' who is about to arrive?"
"plead?"
Zhou Zhenbei scoffed, as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world; he made no attempt to hide his contempt and disgust.
"I'm here to deliver a 'big gift' to you, and to discuss a deal."
"Oh?" The other person clearly didn't believe it.
Zhou Zhenbei's tone suddenly turned cold:
"Stop talking nonsense and tell them that I've now agreed to the conditions I didn't agree to before."
"This..." Upon hearing this, even the Awakened One responsible for connecting communications paused slightly, feeling astonished.
The conditions the other side had previously imposed were indeed unfavorable to the general.
It is not only harsh, but also damaging to reputation and long-term interests.
The general actually agreed?
There was a brief silence on the other end of the communication. The person on the other end had not expected that Zhou Zhenbei would agree to such a surprising concession.
After a long while, the hoarse voice rang out again. Although it tried its best to remain calm, a barely perceptible fluctuation could still be heard:
"I will inform them immediately."
"Then you'd better hurry up." Zhou Zhenbei replied calmly, but his tone carried an undeniable urging and threat.
"Yes!" The other party finally became completely serious, and his voice became more solemn.
Buzz—
The device's light dimmed and the noise disappeared until the other party cut off communication.
Zhou Zhenbei's illusory image gradually faded, eventually disappearing into the air like a bubble.
The awakened one slowly withdrew his hands, his forehead already beaded with cold sweat.
He certainly knew what that conversation meant...
Zhou Zhenbei withdrew his illusory form and his spirit returned to his original body.
At this moment, his face was expressionless, only his eyes held an intense, unyielding killing intent.
His chest rose and fell slightly; it wasn't from exhaustion or excitement, but rather a physiological reaction to the suppression of some extreme emotion to its limit.
"Don't blame me..."
Zhou Zhenbei muttered to himself, his voice as cold as an icy wind:
"You forced me to do this."
He didn't want to get involved with those old fogies, much less be bound by that filthy chain of immortality.
But now that things have developed this way, he has no choice but to do it.
To negotiate with a tiger for its skin is extremely risky.
The slightest misstep could lead to a backlash and utter ruin.
but...
Li Yu must die!
The torrential rain could not extinguish the 'poisonous fire' burning in his heart.
Under immense pressure, Zhou Zhenbei suddenly had a thought: what if he went and killed Li Yu with his own hands right now...?
