Chapter 75: Chapter 72 Whispers and Alarming Sounds
Li He was both shocked and furious.
When he split his forces, he had mentally prepared for many scenarios.
But among them was definitely not the complete annihilation of Lei Wu’s team or Mo Yun’s team!
Yet now, the cold hard truth was right in front of him.
The diameter collapsed from ten meters to less than eight meters.
Don’t even talk about a full three-star status; even reaching the threshold of top-tier three-star Spirit Power seemed out of reach, leaving Li He no room for self-deception!
"Who is it... who exactly did this!?"
He took several deep breaths, forcibly calming himself down.
Li He racked his brains, trying to find the culprit.
But this kind of thinking clearly couldn’t yield any results.
In Li He’s view.
Whether it was the wolf pack, the mountain mists, or even the management, they all might have seized this opportunity to strike.
After all, both Lei Wu’s and Mo Yun’s squads were in very special situations now.
If the management found out about the existence of these two squads, just arranging some personnel to provoke them casually...
Li He had no doubt that both Lei Wu and Mo Yun would decisively lead their members to launch an attack on the management.
And once that happened.
The management, conducting a righteous retaliation, would leave Li He with no choice but to swallow his grievances silently.
Of course, there were not only bad news.
Both Lei Wu and Mo Yun were all former Night Slayer Team members.
The spiritual imprints in their minds were deeply ingrained, with comprehensive spiritual suggestions left by Li He.
Upon realizing they couldn’t escape, they would not reveal any information about themselves and would fight to the death, never surrendering.
Therefore, even if Lei Wu and his team were truly overwhelmed by a murderous intent and initiated an attack on the management, Li He was not worried that he would become a target of their provocations.
There would be no proof, and thus no substantive issue.
"But it’s necessary to have a backup plan..."
Although Li He thought, given the management’s earlier displays of weakness and compromise, unless Lei Wu’s Team directly attacked the management or the Sanctuary, they would likely smooth things over as before.
But anything could happen.
So after a brief contemplation, Li He decisively summoned his confidant, He Xiang, the strongest of his three vice-captains.
He Xiang’s strength had already reached a high two-star level.
And as the Night Slayer Team expanded during this period.
The Spiritual Energy Li He could command had also recovered significantly. He allocated a portion to enhance He Xiang, allowing him to break through to a top-tier two-star level.
This power not only stabilized He Xiang’s mental state significantly, but also enabled him to be sent back to the Sanctuary to gather information. After acquiring intelligence, his two-star top-tier strength would allow He Xiang to safely deliver the news back to Li He, who was still in the wilderness.
That’s right.
After Lei Wu’s team was annihilated,
Li He, originally planning to hunt for two or three more days before returning to the Sanctuary, changed his mind.
"When you return to the Sanctuary, first contact Li Yao to see if there’s any news within the Sanctuary, especially to find out who killed Lei Wu’s team. Report to me with the findings, and if you can’t find out, quickly inform me about the situation in the Sanctuary. Understood?"
Watching He Xiang nod and leave.
Li He was also determined.
Until he received a reply, he would not hastily return to the Sanctuary!
...
Meanwhile, as Li He decided to delay his return to the Sanctuary,
The ninth squad, having wiped out Lei Wu’s squad, was itching to hasten their pace, eager to return to the Sanctuary and report Lei Wu’s team attacking them to the high-ups!
"These Night Slayer Team members have truly gone mad, directly attacking us, who are also a Sanctuary hunting squad! When this news is reported, the management, along with other high-ups, will certainly decide to deal with the Night Slayer Team!"
"That’s right, after today’s events, there’s absolutely no way the Night Slayer Team can continue to be based at the Sanctuary!"
The members of the ninth squad were all exhilarated.
Even Yang Lie was quite excited.
But as the captain, he had to be more composed than the other members, and quickly noticed that Su Yu’s expression remained rather calm.
"Brother Su, is there anything wrong with the situation?"
Yang Lie couldn’t help but ask quietly.
Upon hearing Yang Lie’s words, the surrounding ninth squad members also glanced over, only then noticing Su Yu’s serious expression, all of them stunned.
"The annihilation of Lei Wu’s team, for now, should not be revealed."
Feeling the gazes of others, Su Yu turned back, his expression serious, speaking in a deep voice.
Yang Lie and the others had guessed correctly.
Lei Wu’s team dared commit the Sanctuary’s taboo, proactively attacking them, the ninth squad.
Once this incident was publicized, the Night Slayer Team would be left with no place in the Sanctuary.
Even if Li He refused to admit it, the Sanctuary’s residents and members of other hunting squads would likely find it difficult to tolerate the Night Slayer’s presence there.
At that time, even if the management suppressed the matter, public outrage would be insurmountable.
But the problem was.
If the management’s strength was sufficient, taking this chance to eradicate the Night Slayer Team along with Li He would be ideal.
But as it happened, the current state of the management was such that,
Once it truly escalated to public indignation and a standoff between the management and the Night Slayer Team,
The victors would likely only be the Night Slayer side!
No one knew the management’s dire situation better than Su Yu! ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
So, the annihilation of Lei Wu’s team couldn’t be publicized, at least not now!
Yet the true reason couldn’t be stated outright by Su Yu, so he deflected: "You know Li He’s nature well, Uncle Yang."
He pointed to the lifeless Lei Wu and others.
"These members of the Night Slayer Team refused to surrender unto death. Without survivors or witnesses, even if we announce this news, Li He could stubbornly deny it, perhaps even counterclaim that we attacked Lei Wu’s team, turning the situation around and claiming innocence. Since they die with no proof, how is it not just a matter of words?"
"And you all know the old man’s character in management; he’s always been exceedingly stubborn and hesitant to act against the Night Slayer Team without evidence!"
Listening to Su Yu’s analysis.
Yang Lie and others calmed down.
Especially the last point about the management’s character, which completely convinced them.
Su Yu was secretly glad that, due to health reasons, the old man had always used rules as an excuse for inaction over the past few years.
Otherwise, he might not have been able to dissuade Yang Lie and the others so easily!
