Chapter 1072: [778] Besieged on All Sides, Asking for the King’s Way (Second Update) Chapter 1072: [778] Besieged on All Sides, Asking for the King’s Way (Second Update) Tanwood Country.
“General, Kou Country is now demanding that we return the previously acquired artifact and also demanding compensation.”
“They’re seeking their death!”
Kunad was immediately furious, wishing he could smash the heads of those from Kou Country right then and there.
The officials from Tanwood Country opposite him all had grim expressions on their faces.
“Now that the King’s whereabouts are unknown, isn’t Kou Country’s action of kicking us while we’re down too blatant!”
“But what do we do now? With Kou Country leading, there are quite a few other countries already stirring… If the Empire and Summer Country also start to make moves, then our Tanwood Country will really be at a life-or-death juncture.”
“The King can’t possibly be dead!” Kunad stated decisively.
As they were speaking, suddenly someone hurried to the door, the bloodstains on his face and body causing everyone present to change their expressions abruptly.
“What happened?”
They had even thought that the national border had been breached.
“It’s the Martial Artists from Kou Country, they’re attacking our checkpoints, injuring our personnel, and now they are plundering the office.”
Upon hearing this, Kunad erupted in anger: “Damn them, they really rebelled!”
He turned his head and said: “You go first, I’ll be right there.”
“This…” The crowd hesitated, showing reluctance.
They looked towards Kunad.
Their eyes clearly filled with mistrust.
[You’re not thinking of sneaking away, are you?]
Kunad, annoyed and embarrassed by these stares: “I won’t run! I’m going to ask a strong expert to come out of seclusion!”
“Strong expert? Does Tanwood Country still have any strong experts?” The crowd was taken aback.
Kunad said coldly: “Before the King left, he specifically entrusted me with a great master, just so you know, beneath that Grandmaster, none are his equal.”
Before the crowd could ask more, Kunad quickly interrupted: “Enough, ask anything you want after this matter is resolved. With such chaos ensuing, once the King returns, both you and I will not escape punishment! I’m ordering the troops to move out; you’re responsible for controlling the scene, no one is to leave… Damn it, they think they can smash our place and leave unscathed?”
The crowd went away half-believing.
Kunad turned and headed for the rear mountain.
The trump card left by Pei Jinye for him was Wuzi, who possessed a puppet body.
This wasn’t Kunad’s first dealing with God Spirit Wuzi; previously, under Pei Jinye’s orders, they had together suppressed many rebels.
Although Wuzi wasn’t interested in a physically frail human like Kunad, Kunad had at least made himself a familiar face and knew well that the spirit liked to eat meat, so he always brought copious amounts of fresh meat whenever they met.
This time was no exception.
The sounds of a fierce beast being devoured came from the room. Kunad shivered and carefully said: “God Spirit Wuzi, there’s a bit of trouble outside, could you please help us suppress those rebels defying the King’s will?”
There was no response from the room.
He had actually forgotten… during these long interactions, Wuzi had never spoken a human word, always choosing a path of silence.
He waited for a long time.
Kunad became anxious.
His phone vibrated continuously in his pocket.
He knew the situation outside must have developed beyond his expectations.
Just as he prepared to continue speaking.
Suddenly, as if sensing something.
He turned his head to look.
He was immediately startled by the Old Wolf King, who appeared silently.
The Old Wolf King was dressed in a loose robe, with both hands tucked into wide sleeves, much like the villagers who flitted in and out; the corners of his mouth revealing a smile… one he thought was warm.
However, it almost scared Kunad to death.
Their generation had grown up listening to stories about the Old Wolf King slaughtering tens of thousands.
To suddenly see him standing right behind you.
The smile, with its noticeable curve… in Kunad’s imagination, it probably already drooling hungrily.
[Had I not reacted quickly, would this curved wolf mouth already be biting into my throat? Damn, that’s terrifying.]
Kunad shuddered and took a step backward without leaving a trace, offering a dry laugh towards the Old Wolf King.
Over this past year, besides the time the Old Wolf King was appeased, Kunad hadn’t dealt with him… Everyone seemed like water in their wells did not interfere with the water in their rivers.
Even this sudden encounter was a bit too much for his murderous heart to handle.
But considering that Wuzi obviously did not want to get involved, he could only curse silently in his heart.
After pondering for a moment.
Kunad decided to take a gamble, and thus he said to the Old Wolf King:
“There’s trouble outside, someone wants to cause trouble for the King… could I ask for your help?”
He didn’t know if the Old Wolf King could speak.
But he clearly saw a flicker of sharp light in his eyes… Wait, am I seeing things?
By the time Kunad looked again, the Old Wolf King nodded and suddenly whistled, and soon there was a commotion not far away.
Despite not knowing what happened, he inexplicably felt a sense of alarm.
Wanting to see what was happening outside, he politely bid the Old Wolf King goodbye.
The Old Wolf King watched him leave, then withdrew his gaze, thoughtfully looking towards the door.
It heard that there was a human being left behind by its master inside.
But for some reason… the scent on the person was no different from a dead body.
Just as it thought this.
At the moment it regained its senses, a pair of pitch-black eyes abruptly appeared in the door’s crack.
In the moment their eyes met, the Old Wolf King’s body hair bristled, and he swiftly retreated.
Not until hundreds of meters away did he feel like he had narrowly escaped with his life, staring with bewildered suspicion at the large reddish door.
“What on earth was that monster?”
…
The Werewolf Legion suppressed the rebellion in Tanwood Country, not only stunning the people of Tanwood Country but also those from Kou Country and others.
“Is that even possible?”
“Is this the Werewolf Legion I remember?”
“Since when do werewolves and human beings coexist? Where are the ethics? Morals? Dignity?”
…
In Kou Country, infuriated by the situation, considering Pei Jinye as dead–missing as good as dead to them,
many Kou Country Martial Artists started condemning Tanwood Country.
The long-brewing discontent finally erupted at this moment, and a significant number of Kou Country Martial Artists spontaneously went to Tanwood Country, under the banner of eradicating werewolves.
A tempest swept in.
…
Summer Country.
“Director Zhao, you were right, Kou Country has made a move against Tanwood Country,”
Zhao master heard this without surprise, more concerned about the situation at sea, “Has the search team left yet?”
“They have,” the person hesitated a bit then cautiously asked, “Director, it’s already the ninth day, and we still haven’t found any trace of that person across the entire sea area…”
Zhao master suddenly said, “We haven’t found Pitan’s whereabouts, but neither have we found Megalodon’s whereabouts.”
The other party was taken aback.
“Oh right, the Megalodon!”
He also just realized that all this time everyone’s attention had been on the Master of Tanmu Country, yet they had overlooked the Megalodon.
“So… where has this huge creature gone?”

…
The outside world was in turmoil.
Yet unknown to anyone, deep in the ocean, which human beings referred to as the life forbidden zone that is unexplorable… At this moment, no one would have thought that the originally pitch-dark seabed was as dazzling as the Milky Way.
At the center of the starry river, a figure sat cross-legged.
Suddenly, the eyes opened, as if God Spirit had awoken.
