HPDBC Chapter 236 The Fear of the Evil Jade Dragon
Chapter 236 The Fear of the Evil Jade Dragon
The witches looked up at the sky and knelt down almost simultaneously.
The pant legs and skirt hems swept across the puddles, their movements so synchronized as if they had rehearsed a thousand times.
The investigators from the Bureau of Anomalies all breathed a sigh of relief.
The domineering figure, looming in and out of the dark clouds, was like a shield descending from the sky, pulling them back from the brink of collapse.
To be honest, those ghost soldiers are really hard to deal with.
They were impervious to bullets and blades, like a group of things that had emerged from a nightmare.
The military officers in the security bureau have become completely numb.
From the moment the ghost soldiers appeared, their worldview shattered like glass struck by a hammer.
Now another god-like man has emerged from the clouds?
What exactly happened in this world?
Bai Lu picked up the communicator, her voice very low:
"Chief, appear at dusk."
There was no reply from the other end of the communicator for a long time.
......
"I heard I can't kill you?" The voice descended from the clouds, as cold as the deepest hell, each word laced with amusement: "I want to try again."
Prince Heng's head, which was suspended in mid-air, changed from astonishment to horror, and the fear in his eyes was so intense that it was almost dripping.
He opened his mouth, his voice dry and hoarse, like sandpaper scraping:
"Sir... please let me explain! I was wrong, I..."
He no longer even dared to refer to himself as "this king".
The witches were overjoyed when they heard this conversation.
Keep pretending! Keep being arrogant!
They struggled to even fight us, how could they possibly be a match for Twilight!
Jiang Chaosheng did not give Prince Heng a chance to continue speaking.
He simply raised his hand, revealing the flintlock pistol.
Prince Heng immediately felt himself being locked onto by a terrifying killing intent.
The killing intent didn't come from the muzzle of the gun; it came from all directions.
From the sky, from the earth, from every speck of dust in the air!
His mind raced, frantically simulating escape routes—one, two, ten… but each route ended with only one word…
die!
The entire world was filled with malice, leaving no gaps.
Prince Heng's eyes widened, and he roared to the sky:
"Imperial Advisor! Save me!"
As soon as he shouted, all the ghost soldiers and blood-dripping soldiers below stopped their attack.
The black figures that had been surging like a tide suddenly froze as if a pause button had been pressed.
The formation began to tighten, shifting from offense to defense, forming a huge circular array layered upon layered, confronting the humans.
They neither moved forward nor backward, but stood there silently, as if waiting for something.
Waiting for... a great person to arrive.
...
The capital city, the Bureau of Abnormalities, the director's office.
Cao Ye stood in front of the large screen, where the image was frozen on the moment when dark clouds confronted the ghostly soldiers.
"The Way of Peace, the Imperial Preceptor..." he murmured, each word deliberate, his voice so soft it was as if afraid of disturbing something, "Is he finally about to appear?"
He stood up abruptly from the chair.
He stared at the dark cloud on the screen, and within that cloud, at the figure sitting on a throne.
"Twilight...is he a rival?"
......
Dongpu City.
The military officers and investigators all heard Prince Heng's shout clearly and saw the changes in the ghost soldiers.
Who is the Imperial Advisor?
Could there be another unexpected event?
The Imperial Advisor... that sounds like a ruthless character many times more powerful than that giant head.
Apart from the barnacle group, the others did not know the term "National Preceptor".
"Cease fire! Remain on high alert!" Bai Lu's voice boomed through the communication channel, crisp and decisive.
She put down the walkie-talkie, her expression shifting rapidly.
The communicator wasn't disconnected, and every word Cao Ye muttered to himself on the other end reached her ears.
The bureau chief is questioning whether Huang Hun is a match for the Grand Master.
He seemed to know the Imperial Advisor very well.
However... the Bureau of Abnormal Affairs clearly knows nothing about the "Imperial Advisor" except for the title.
Where did Cao Ye get the information?
If he already knew about the Imperial Advisor's information, why did he never mention it to the bureau?
"Leader!" The observer suddenly turned around, his voice tinged with urgency: "Information regarding the Grand Preceptor of the Way of Peace!"
Bai Lu walked over quickly.
The observer handed her an earpiece and pointed to the laptop screen.
The screen shows the Seven Witches—they are discussing something, and the atmosphere looks tense.
correct.
Xie Yujiao, a member of the Witch's Guild, is one of the leaders of the Taiping Dao... Princess Honey Flower.
......
The moment Xie Yujiao heard Prince Heng plead for help from the Imperial Preceptor, her pretty face turned deathly pale.
It wasn't just pale, it was deathly white, as if all the blood had been drained from the body.
"The Imperial Advisor?" Jin Meiting looked at her in surprise. "Who is the Imperial Advisor? Look how scared you are."
Xie Yujiao swallowed hard, his voice dry:
"Sisters, I'm different from you."
With a tap of the fingertip, one is instantly transported to the wonderful world of Chapter 236, "The Fear of the Evil Jade Dragon."
I am a traitor to the Way of Peace, and for that reason alone, Mr. Twilight may not be able to protect me.
In the unlikely event that... I am captured by the Imperial Advisor, please, for the sake of our sisterhood, you must... kill me!
Her voice was trembling.
"His methods were too cruel..."
This woman has always been fearless and unrestrained, so how come she was scared like a coward by a name?
The Gluttonous Witch Li Yaoling scoffed disdainfully:
"Look at your behavior."
"Just because you betrayed the Way of Peace for your faith, my Lord will not abandon you!"
Xie Yujiao suddenly looked at her, his eyes reddening:
"What if... he can't save him?"
You have no idea how terrifying the Imperial Advisor really is!
Li Yaoling was unconvinced:
"My Lord is a god!"
Xie Yujiao's face turned even uglier. She forced a smile, her lips twitching slightly.
"Who...who says the Imperial Advisor isn't a deity?"
The witches were all taken aback.
The Grand Preceptor of the Way of Peace... is he a deity?
Su Yubo comforted him:
What happened to the gods?
Black God and Lucifer, aren't they gods too?
Weren't they all killed by Mr. Twilight?
Xie Yujiao shook his head, his voice lowering:
"This is different."
Whether it's Black God or Lucifer, they are both remnants of a declining state.
Of course, I'm not saying my lord isn't strong; I'm just saying... the Imperial Advisor is different from those remnant souls.
Zhang Lina snorted coldly:
"I think you've gone mad from mining. You're boosting the morale of others while diminishing your own."
Tell me, how are they different?
Xie Yujiao was silent for a moment, as if he was organizing his thoughts or mustering his courage.
"His background is even more impressive than that of ordinary deities." She swallowed hard, each word seeming to be squeezed out of her throat: "Strictly speaking, he... he is the son-in-law of the Eastern Heavenly Emperor."
The witches were utterly shocked, staring at her in disbelief.
The son-in-law of the Eastern Heavenly Emperor?
This answer is so crazy it sends chills down your spine.
Xie Yujiao's delicate body began to tremble, her voice growing softer and more fragmented:
"The Imperial Advisor hates traitors the most."
He will use "animal creation magic" on traitors...
He will turn me into a sow, keep me in a pigsty, and wait to slaughter me at the New Year to reward the ghost soldiers.
If things get any crueler, they'll turn me into a cow...
She looked up, her eyes brimming with tears, but not a single one fell.
"If he captures me, please, you must kill me."
Su Yubo sighed, her voice softening:
"Betraying the Way of Peace... I'm sorry to have troubled you."
Li Yaoling was silent for a while, then lowered her head, her voice muffled:
"He...he's so strong, how come he hasn't conquered the world yet?"
Xie Yujiao moved his lips and uttered four words.
The sound was very faint, as faint as a mosquito's hum, and no one could hear it clearly.
"Pacify Project".
Jin Meiting's gaze gradually sharpened.
She looked at Xie Yujiao and said, word by word:
"I recruited you, so naturally I won't let anyone take you away."
Besides, the Lord of Twilight is here, what are you panicking for!
Xie Yujiao gave a bitter smile:
"I'm just a worthless woman, a nobody... Why would he stand up to the Imperial Advisor for my sake?"
Her values are somewhat similar to Jiang Chaosheng's.
In her world, there is only usefulness and uselessness, and only pure self-interest.
Xie Yujiao, Xie Qilin, and Xie Xiaolong were all manipulated by their father as pawns from a young age.
When the Evil Qilin killed the Evil Little Dragon, the Evil Jade Dragon remained completely unmoved.
She thought this was normal, because Xie Xiaolong was no longer useful.
In this cold world, only the love of the mutual aid society and the friendship of the witches suddenly gave her a ray of warmth.
And so, she became temperamental.
It's ridiculous!
Those who grow up in a cold environment, once they fall in love, are more reckless and more fearless than anyone else.
.....
After hearing these conversations, Bai Lu's expression turned to disbelief.
She turned her head and glanced at the observer beside her.
The man's face was also filled with horror, his mouth slightly open, and his eyes wide like copper bells.
The son-in-law of the Eastern Heavenly Emperor...a living deity?
Bai Lu took a deep breath, her voice regaining its coldness and hardness:
"The Imperial Advisor's intelligence has been classified as top secret and is awaiting the Director's decision."
The observer's Adam's apple bobbed, his eyes fixed on the screen, his gaze unwavering.
Clearly, he is still immersed in that shocking secret and can't get out of it anytime soon.
Bai Lu ignored him. She looked up at the heavy, dark cloud outside the window.
Imperial Advisor.
The son-in-law of the Eastern Heavenly Emperor.
Alive—
immortal.
Director Cao Ye clearly knew about the Grand Preceptor's identity long ago, so why was such important information never mentioned in the bureau?
