Apocalyptic Flood: Sexy Beauty Neighbor's Midnight Plea for Food

Chapter 1323 - 656: Tang Xing’an

Fang Liang was overjoyed upon hearing the news and did not expect Liang Yuan to be so accommodating.

He could hardly believe it.

Back then, this person was so fierce when he killed the three Mercenary Corps leaders.

Could he really be persuaded so easily now?

”The reputation of Your Majesty is indeed strong,” Fang Liang thought to himself.

He speculated that Liang Yuan must be afraid of the Master of Fog City’s name.

Feeling proud, he said, ”I didn’t expect you to be so understanding of the situation, hurry and tell your men to stop.”

He glanced at the two groups still engaged in battle below and immediately spoke.

Liang Yuan smiled slightly and said, ”No rush, before seeing Chang Yuntao, I must let him know how strong my men are, only then can we discuss how to arrange my position, don’t you think?”

Fang Liang’s expression changed: ”What do you mean by this?”

”Hehe, if I conquer Yang Baoshan and then defect to Chang Yuntao, will he look at me more highly?”

”You—scoundrel!”

Fang Liang was furious; the other’s action was using him as a stepping stone, wasn’t it?

This Yang Baoshan was under his guard, and now that Liang Yuan has taken it, Liang Yuan’s impression in Chang Yuntao’s mind is certainly improved.

Doesn’t that degrade Fang Liang’s impression in Chang Yuntao’s mind?

Fang Liang immediately threatened, ”You better not forget that I am your introducer.”

Liang Yuan chuckled and said, ”Hehe, I won’t tease you anymore. Since Chang Yuntao is still in Mist City, I’ll personally go find him; do I still need you to lead the way?”

With that, Liang Yuan pointed a finger, and a Parasite Species directly fell into his mind.

Fang Liang sensed something was amiss, and his expression changed dramatically: ”You—you dare!”

Liang Yuan lightly shook his head with a chuckle, grabbed him, and said, ”You’re really foolish. If Chang Yuntao were so formidable, could easily kill me, why hasn’t he directly come to Yangshan to seek me out?”

”Yet he’s still conspiring in Baoshan City, wasting time. Is it because he doesn’t want to kill me?”

Fang Liang was stunned, unable to wrap his head around it for a moment.

He clearly hadn’t thought in this direction initially.

Liang Yuan led him, directly flew above the battleground, and shouted, ”Fang Liang has been captured, who dares to resist!”

With this sharp shout, the voice exploded like thunder.

Suddenly, the members of the Sharp Sword Mercenary Corps below all looked up.

Sure enough, they saw Fang Liang caught in Liang Yuan’s hand, without any power to resist.

All their faces changed dramatically; already struggling, their morale instantly plummeted.

Wu Ying led his men, immediately slaughtered these guys, gaining control of the situation.

Liang Yuan said, ”Wu Ying, let everyone rest for a while, help treat the friends of Yang Baoshan’s injuries first.”

”At dawn, attack Mist City!”

”Yes! Mr. Liang.”

Soon Wu Ying released a large number of imprisoned Yang Baoshan personnel.

Among these people, a leader quickly emerged.

It was a middle-aged man named Tang Xing’an.

Tang Xing’an was Yang Baoshan’s administrative personnel, similar to the role Yang Mei held in Yangshan.

Although his strength wasn’t high, his administrative capability was outstanding, heavily employed by Pu Shanlie, responsible for the administrative management of Yang Baoshan.

However, because of his lack of strength, he wasn’t taken by Chang Yuntao’s men.

Seeing Liang Yuan now, Tang Xing’an stepped forward and bowed: ”Tang Xing’an greets Mr. Liang.”

Liang Yuan asked, ”Mr. Tang, are you the administrative officer here?”

”Yes, it’s thanks to Mr. Liang’s generous intervention that we were saved; I represent Yang Baoshan’s survivors in giving you thanks.”

He directly knelt down, wiping his eyes, and kowtowed to Liang Yuan.

Liang Yuan immediately waved his hand, used Telekinesis to support him up, and said with emotion, ”No need for this, get up, please.”

Tang Xing’an, with reddened eyes, said, ”Mr. Liang, Chang Yuntao is quite formidable in strength, but what’s truly terrifying is his scheming.”

”This person, to deal with us at Yang Baoshan, first turned Gu Jianye against us, then during the confrontation with our leader Pu Shanlie, he let Gu Jianye seize the opportunity to launch an attack, thus winning.”

”Mr. Liang, please be wary of this person’s dirty tactics.”

Liang Yuan nodded slightly, smiled: ”Didn’t expect this City Lord of Mist City would employ such tricks. Right, Mr. Tang, how’s your leader Pu Shanlie now?”

Tang Xing’an, with reddened eyes, said: ”The leader aimed to give us a chance of survival, actively lured Chang Yuntao away from this place.”

”Later, Chang Yuntao returned, yet our leader hasn’t come back, I’m afraid... he’s probably in grave danger.”

Tang Xing’an wiped his tears, apparently unsure whether Pu Shanlie was dead or alive.

However, according to his description, it seems Pu Shanlie is indeed likely in grave danger.

Chang Yuntao is scheming; would he let such a mortal enemy go?

Liang Yuan asked, ”How large is the population at Yang Baoshan?”

Tang Xing’an replied, ”Before we fought against Chang Yuntao, our total population had already reached more than seven thousand.”

”Among them, the combat personnel were already over five thousand. Only few haven’t awakened their superpowers; most others have.”

”Part of them awakened auxiliary superpowers, unable to participate in combat, and now they are also captured by Chang Yuntao.”

Liang Yuan felt greatly surprised: ”Your Yang Baoshan can accommodate more than seven thousand people?”

Tang Xing’an smiled bitterly: ”There’s no way, the entire Baoshan City is submerged, Yang Baoshan and Beichen Mountain are the few high mountains, everyone crowds these two places.”

”Beichen Mountain is now Beichen Island, where survival of the fittest reigns, very brutal. Our side has leaders who set rules, maintaining order, fostering civilization, so most survivors aspire to come here.”

”Thus, the survivors here keep increasing; over seven thousand people, indeed it’s becoming overcrowded.”

”But fortunately, it’s winter now, and people can live on the snowfield.”

”Though after this battle, it’s hard to say how many are left.”

Tang Xing’an’s face showed bitterness, ”In these times, it’s already difficult for everyone to live; I really don’t understand why people still fight against each other.”

Liang Yuan sighed too and said, ”The human species is born this way.”

”Only when an absolutely powerful ruler appears, setting rules, letting everyone abide by them, acting within those rules, can such a turbulent crisis be resolved.”

”Yet, where is this person?” Tang Xing’an looked at Liang Yuan.

He wanted to ask if Liang Yuan was that person, but the words got stuck in his throat and he swallowed them back down.

Shallow acquaintance, deep words, absolutely not.

Liang Yuan said, ”It will happen, Mr. Tang. You should go back and rest. Early tomorrow morning, I will take people to Mist City to meet Chang Yuntao personally!”

Tang Xing’an’s expression immediately became solemn and he said, ”No matter what, please take me with you, Mr. Liang!”

”You?”

Liang Yuan looked at him. Tang Xing’an should have just recently condensed his Genetic Species.

With such strength, participating in this battle would be very risky.

Tang Xing’an said, ”The leader has been kind to me, I must see Chang Yuntao’s fate with my own eyes!”

Liang Yuan could see that this person was indeed loyal and righteous.

He nodded slightly, ”Alright, you will go with my people when the time comes.”

Tang Xing’an thanked Liang Yuan and then left.

At this time, Han Xiangman walked over and asked, ”Mr. Liang, why not attack Mist City overnight? Wouldn’t a surprise attack be better?”

Liang Yuan shook his head slightly, ”Our attack on Yang Baoshan was not small, and I’m afraid there have already been some who escaped.”

”Mist City has probably already received the news, the success rate of a surprise attack is not high, and we are likely to fall into their trap.”

”Since that’s the case, it would be better to have a direct confrontation tomorrow.”

”Do we have enough people? Mist City is, after all, their base camp, and it’s right next to Beichen Island.”

”There are quite a few bandits on Beichen Island too.”

Liang Yuan smiled, ”The key to tomorrow’s battle is not you, but between me and Chang Yuntao.”

Han Xiangman was taken aback but then understood.

Indeed, the combat power at the Genetic Reorganization Level is the key to determining the course of this battle.

If Liang Yuan kills Chang Yuntao, Mist City will naturally collapse without a fight.

As for Liang Yuan’s failure...

She didn’t even want to think about it at this point.

He will not lose!

Mist City.

A group of bedraggled figures appeared nearby.

Just as they were about to approach, a shout came from the mist outside the Floating Island.

”Who goes there! Dare to trespass into Mist City!”

Out of the mist, a giant ship’s silhouette appeared.

The voice came from above.

Among the bedraggled crowd, someone cried out.

”Subordinate Li Youquan, with urgent battle report.”

Someone on the ship shouted, ”Which Li Youquan?”

”Li Youquan of the Sharp Sword Mercenary Corps. Our leader is Fang Liang.”

The people on the ship were surprised, ”Sharp Sword Mercenary Corps? Weren’t you ordered to stay at Yang Baoshan?”

”A group attacked Yang Baoshan, Leader Fang Liang has already been captured by them, we escaped with our lives to report this news.”

As soon as they heard this, the people on the ship were stunned.

”What happened? Someone attacked Fang Liang’s Sharp Sword Mercenary Corps?”

”Could it be Yang Baoshan’s remnants?”

”Impossible, Yang Baoshan’s remnants have already been captured. There couldn’t still be experts left.”

”Quick, let them aboard.”

Saying this, a ladder was lowered from the ship, and the few members of the Sharp Sword Mercenary Corps quickly climbed the ladder and entered the mist.

A moment later, the ship sailed upstream, back to the Mist Forest.

The few were brought to Chang Yuntao.

Chang Yuntao stared at them, inquiring about the incident.

The few quickly recounted what happened at Yang Baoshan.

Chang Yuntao’s expression became increasingly grave.

”Among these people, there are those skilled in Dark Attribute Superpower?”

”Yes, the leaders were all Dark Attribute Superpower Users.”

”Where is Fang Liang?”

”The leader was intercepted by a young man just after making a move. In a single encounter, that man captured our leader.”

Chang Yuntao immediately asked, ”What did that man look like?”

”About six feet tall, looks under thirty, handsome features, sturdy build, the facial features... the facial features...”

Li Youquan couldn’t describe it, he could only say, ”It was too dark at the time, I couldn’t see his face clearly.”

Chang Yuntao’s expression turned grim and he said, ”Order everyone to prepare for battle immediately, in case of a night attack.”

”Your Majesty, who are these people?” Ji Liang couldn’t help but ask on the side.

This former Left Leader of the Ice Armor Soldier Legion has now become Chang Yuntao’s trusted general.

During Chang Yuntao’s personal expedition to Yang Baoshan, Ji Liang was assigned to guard Mist City, showing Chang Yuntao’s trust in him.

As for the other leader of the Ice Armor Soldier Legion, He Jun, he is currently stationed at Beichen Island on behalf of Chang Yuntao.

In addition to the various mercenary groups, the Ice Armor Soldier Legion is the military force Chang Yuntao trusts the most.

In general battles, he would let the mercenary corps go first to weaken the enemy before letting the Ice Armor Soldier Legion finish them off.

Chang Yuntao’s eyes were cold, ”The Dark Attribute leader is most likely someone from the Dark Abyss Mouth.”

”Someone from the Dark Abyss Mouth? That guy called Wu Ying?” Ji Liang asked, surprised.

Then he shook his head, ”No, according to the intelligence we’ve gathered, this person’s Main Attribute hasn’t reached 100 points, he couldn’t have easily defeated Fang Liang, right?”

Chang Yuntao said coldly, ”I’m afraid it’s not Wu Ying, but Liang himself who came!”

Upon hearing this, Ji Liang’s expression changed!

”Liang Yuan came?”
