"Ye Fan, Fire Phoenix, Butcher, they’ve all arrived."

"How is this possible?"

"Aren’t these three at odds and ignore each other? How could they come together?"

"This is something absolutely impossible."

"Damn, how could this happen?"

"This time, disaster is imminent."

"Wasn’t Ye Fan supposed to return to Huaxia? Why is he now collaborating with Fire Phoenix and Butcher to target us?"

"Are you kidding me? Who doesn’t know, long ago it was Fire Phoenix who leaked Ye Fan’s whereabouts to Deceitful Fox, which led to multiple assassination attempts from Deceitful Fox against Ye Fan."

"Weren’t Fire Phoenix and Butcher also hostile towards each other in their attempts to dismantle Deceitful Fox’s followers? How could they possibly join forces?"

"How could such three people ever come together again?"

The elders, including the First Elder and Second Elder, were all dumbfounded. This news was too shocking, catching them off guard and deeply unsettling them.

In their mind, even if there was any possibility of encountering hostility from Fire Phoenix and Butcher, it would be from one side only. Who would have thought that the three would arrive together, leading their large number of followers, implying that they’re here to doom Sky Net.

How could they not be shocked, not be afraid?

"Can anyone tell me this news is fake, just a joke?" The Seventh Elder stated bitterly, "How could Ye Fan, Fire Phoenix, and Butcher possibly join forces? I’d rather believe that dogs won’t eat excrement than believe these three are united. Everyone knows in the Underworld that it’s impossible for these three to come together again."

"We’re doomed, I see, we are doomed. This move is too vicious. We have the ability to resolve crisis, but this kind of crisis is too large, beyond what we can handle, exceeding our expectations." The Fourteenth Elder said sorrowfully.

"What should we do? With these three joining forces, we’re undoubtedly dead. Forget about reviving Sky Net, we can’t even control our own life and death; where’s the chance for Sky Net to rise again?" The Eighth Elder chuckled weakly.

Like an unmovable mountain, it pressed on the hearts of the elders, suffocating them.

The existing Sky Net is powerful, capable of handling certain crises, but definitely not this type of crisis.

Ye Fan, Fire Phoenix, and Butcher’s murderous intent is not something the current Sky Net can cope with.

Once a direct confrontation breaks out, their doom is certain.

"Now it seems, these three are secretly close, deceiving the entire Underworld, leading to false perceptions of them." The First Elder’s face was terrifyingly gloomy. "These three have such far-reaching scheming, deceiving everyone completely, which is truly abominable."

"What should we do now?" The Sixth Elder asked, lost.

"What else can we do, just wait for death." The Fifth Elder retorted in frustration.

"If we escape now, can we get away?" The Fourth Elder suggested fleeing.

"Escape? How?" The Second Elder sneered, "Right now, we’re surrounded. Do you think we have a chance? The only outcome of running away is our complete breakdown and being devoured. If we unite and face the enemy together, there’s still a glimmer of hope. Even if we can’t survive, we must die with dignity, and it’s crucial to eliminate more enemies, especially Ye Fan, the main culprit, he cannot be allowed to live."

"Yes, we’ve come to this day, all blame Ye Fan, this revenge cannot go unmet." The First Elder insisted firmly. "When we coerced Ye Fan, we devised several plans against killing him. Now, it’s necessary to present this plan and kill the culprit who brought us to this point, otherwise we’ll die without peace."

"We indeed devised several plans, but right now, only one plan can be useful, and it depends on whether Song Tianba and Song Meimei, the father and daughter, cooperate. If not, everything is futile." The Seventh Elder doubtedly remarked.

"Song Tianba does not know the current situation of Sky Net, nor does he know the Ghost team is already destroyed. Using this situation to make Song Tianba do something is natural." The Second Elder said, "If Song Tianba knew this information, he could naturally deduce Sky Net is doomed. But without knowing, Song Tianba will not hesitate. With Song Tianba’s hatred for Ye Fan, he will surely help us deal with Ye Fan to the greatest extent."

"Ye Fan and companions aggressively approach, do you think Ye Fan will be coerced to negotiate with us? Isn’t this jumping into the fire pit? Ye Fan would foolishly do this?" The Eighth Elder doubted.

"I heard Ye Fan and Song Meimei have a fairly good relationship in private, especially Song Meimei’s admiration for Ye Fan. Ye Fan is a person of emotion and loyalty, no longer the ruthless Terminator. So, leveraging Song Meimei as a bargaining chip is still feasible." A crazed glint flickered in the First Elder’s eyes.

Song Tianba and Song Meimei were already at Sky Net Headquarters. When Ye Fan was coerced to work for Sky Net, the father and daughter came here. Sky Net had schemed all along, ultimately to eliminate Ye Fan with great effort, and the Song Tianba father and daughter are part of the plan. Using the enmity between Ye Fan and the Song Family, in addition to Song Meimei’s relationship with Ye Fan, it can have excellent effect if utilized well.

...

Meanwhile.

Outside Sky Net Headquarters, Ye Fan, Fire Phoenix, and Butcher looked towards Sky Net Headquarters, with joyful expressions on their faces.

The impending destruction of Sky Net, at such crucial and meaningful moment, is naturally worth celebrating.

Leng Mei, Hua Yue, Dais, Bell, and others scattered around them, equally excited.

"Sky Net Headquarters has been encircled by us, not even a mouse can escape." Butcher laughed heartily, "I guess at this very moment, the elders of Sky Net are scared to death."

"Let’s get started with the killing, charge in one go, brethren can’t wait any longer, just waiting for this moment to arrive." Bell requested the battle.

"Don’t rush, why hurry? We’ve traveled a long way, many of our people are already tired. Waiting until we’re in full spirits before attacking is no delay." Fire Phoenix smiled, "The pressure we’re exerting around Sky Net Headquarters is enough to exhaust the remaining Hunting Team and Sky Net elders, crushing their fighting spirit."

"Attacking the weakest state of the enemy with our strongest state couldn’t be better, reducing casualties, why not?" Ye Fan stated flatly.
