Chapter 467, Death of Zong Chen

Just as the war in the direction of the northern Zong Clan continued, an off-road vehicle was speeding along the road to the Central Plains, the sky was high and blue, the yellow soil on the earth was endless, and the smoke behind the vehicle looked like a long meteor tail.

It seems that when you arrive here, you are already far away from the chaos of war.

Only this vehicle did not take the main road, but made an abrupt turn somewhere and drove into the long mountain range.

The young man in the car deliberately parked the SUV in an extremely remote place, then got out of the car and took down all the luggage and backpacks in the car, then pushed the SUV into a gully.

He did this is probably to prevent someone to find his whereabouts, this young man hidden traces to this, actually extraordinarily cautious, and even in order to avoid what, but also a lot of painstakingly intended to go over the mountains.

The young man put the backpack behind his back, inside there is enough water and food, enough for him to hike all the way to the Central Plains.

Suddenly, the young man looked back at his homeland, a trace of nostalgia and hatred appeared in his expression, one day he would return here again.

However, just during this turning back, someone on a hill in the direction of the mountain range laughed at him and said, “What are you looking at?”

The young man was startled and turned around, then drew the pistol on his waist and wanted to shoot, his appearance was like a scared bird.

Just as he turned around, the man sitting on the hill behind him laughed softly and snapped his fingers, and the young man’s expression immediately froze.

“Let’s play a game,” Li Shentan laughed, “This game will be called I Ask You Answer, what’s your name!”

“Zong Cheng, Zong Xiang,” the young man replied.

Li Shentan froze for a moment, “How come you have two names, and Zong Seung doesn’t look like you do.”

“I used to be called Zong Xiang, but now I’m called Zong Cheng,” the young man replied, “I used my transcendent ability to plant a seed in Zong Xiang and turn him into a puppet.”

Li Shentan was amazed, even he didn’t expect Zong Seung to have this kind of ability, wouldn’t that mean that as long as Zong Seung planted a seed in someone else, it would be the same as immortality?

Moreover, I’m afraid that the people of the Zong Clan Consortium had never found out about this.

Within the Zong Clan, Zong Seung and Zong Xiang were likewise in a competitive relationship, after all, there was only one head of the family, and there would always be someone who failed and someone who succeeded.

The two of them, Zong Cheng and Zong Xiang, belonged to the same big house, and before there were people from the third and fourth houses who wanted to sow discord between the two of them, but the person they couldn’t think of, Zong Cheng had long ago put Zong Xiang under control.

Moreover, Zong Xiang was living in the Zong Clan like a normal person, and surprisingly, no one had noticed.

This ability was a bit too bizarre, if there were other leaders of organizational forces under Zong Seung’s control, wouldn’t they be easily subverted by him?

Although the number of people Zong Seung was able to control was a bit small, there were actually other variations in this ability, which was something that Li Shentan hadn’t expected either.

Li Shentan asked, ”Do you have any other seeds? Is everyone you control the same?”

“No,” Zong Xiang said, “The seeds are very few, only by controlling a fixed group of people for a long period of time can you draw spiritual energy from them to form a seed, and there was another seed, but I didn’t have time to use it.”

“That’s good,” Li Shentan laughed, “It’s quite a shame to have a similar ability with someone like you.”

As he said this, a trace of anger and struggle flashed across Zong Xiang’s complexion, as if he was about to wake up, but before he could react, he was suppressed again by Li Shentan.

Li Shentan’s ability was as if he was born to restrain a mind control type Transcendent like Zong Seung.

Li Shentan asked some more things about Zong’s war, such as the fact that Zong was already in crisis and didn’t have the ability to fight against Fortress 178 anymore.

Another example was that the 131st Brigade made a big mess after entering the 146th Barrier.

Li Shentan laughed helplessly, ”I can’t believe I didn’t help and almost helped? But it sounds quite interesting ……”

For people like Li Shentan, fun was the meaning of his life nowadays.

“Alright,” Li Shentan said after some thought, “Ending the questioning, you can end yourself.”

As soon as the words fell, Zong Xiang’s expression suddenly twisted, as if there was a constant alternation of unwillingness and anger, Li Shentan sighed, “It seems that I’m not strong enough, but I can’t even make a transcendent make a life and death decision yet.”

Saying that, Li Shentan flicked up a stone and struck through Zong Xiang’s brow, and only then was Zong Cheng considered completely dead.

Next to him, Si Li Ren looked at Zong Xiang’s corpse and saw the strange: “Brother Shen Tan, where are we going now? Going to Fortress 178?”

“No,” Li Shentan shook his head, “I think Ren Xiaosu will most likely leave the 178 Fortress unit soon, it’s not a place he wants to go, at least not yet.”

“Then where are we going?”

“To do something more interesting,” Li Shentan said with a smirk, he looked towards the box behind Si Li Ren then teased, “I didn’t believe someone when they said you were a flatulent.”

Si Li Ren wrinkled her little nose, “I’m not a lentil, don’t call me a lentil.”

“Okay, little flatworm.”

Li Shentan turned around and walked towards the center, at this time the nonsense had already disappeared, not knowing where it had gone.

……

The battle in the north continued, Zong’s frontline commander Zong Ying immediately called all of Zong’s frontline generals together for a meeting after he learned that something had happened at 146 Barrier.

Just as soon as those generals entered the command headquarters, they were immediately taken under control, while Zong Ying then arranged for his inner circle to begin the matter of reorganization.

The troops in Zong Ying’s hands were the most numerous amongst these generals, and the other generals didn’t expect Zong Ying to be so decisive and ruthless, that he would take control of them at the first opportunity after the 146 Barriers incident.

Zong Ying said to these people, “Now that we are at the crisis point of the Zong Clan, we need to unite.”

The so-called unity meant that everything looked up to him, Zong Ying. And everyone was now under control, so they couldn’t even think of not being united.

The Zong generals looked at each other in disbelief, they did not expect Zong Ying to reveal his fangs just after half of the Zong hierarchy had been killed or injured.

There were just some generals who did not understand, “But now that we are defeated, even if you, Zong Ying, control all the frontline troops, won’t we still not be able to defeat Fortress 178?”

“We’re heading north,” Zong Ying said, “We must continue to march north of the 146th Barrier, we can’t stay here any longer, we must recuperate in the north for the chance to make a comeback.”

The generals were shocked, this Zong Ying was actually planning to take everyone to the northern grasslands? Completely abandoning everything they already have now?

Not only that, but Zong Ying also planned to take these frontline troops all the way to the north to loot and pillage, turning all the Zong’s barriers into ruins and taking away everything of value from the barriers.

As for what would happen to the barriers’ inhabitants after doing so, that was something that Fortress 178 should consider.

“How should we get rid of Fortress 178’s pursuit?” Someone asked.

“Naturally, I have Zong Xing to help me fend them off, 170 kilometers further north is the Fuji Bridge, after crossing the bridge we blow up the bridge, there will be enough time for us to retreat, it will take a few days for Fortress 178 to build a pontoon bridge after all,” Zong Ying said.

Zong Xing was one of the few veteran generals in the Zong Clan, when everyone was budding up with the idea of retreating, Zong Xing still held his ground and fought for every inch.

Normally, everyone didn’t treat this veteran general very well, and this veteran general didn’t treat their group of young generals very well either, always feeling that they, the young generals, had too little sense of belonging to the clan.

But with his words, Zong Ying had already decided the end of Zong Xing.

Zong Ying looked at those Zong generals and smiled, “War always requires sacrifices, of course, it’s someone else’s sacrifice.”
