Apocalypse Gachapon C.873: Guy beneath the Saint Pool

A few of the eighteen guards died in just that short while. When Xia Bai held down the level seven leader, the others weren’t strong enough to fend off Liang Chuyin, the two twins, and Hong Xiang’s two subordinates.

But it would take some time to kill these people.

But Flame Dove, who they thought was invincible, dying was too shocking for them. When that head rolled beneath their feet, some of the guards collapsed.

Flame Dove nurtured them. Some of them followed him since they were young, and the king was a representation of faith for them. They weren’t able to accept his death.

Ye Zhongming and Hong Xiang looked at their subordinates. Tian Liu, Cheng Ka, Liang Chuyin, Xia Bai, etc, moved and killed these guards.

These were Flame Dove’s most loyal subordinates, so recruiting them was impossible. Once they woke from that shock, they might take over Flame Dove’s tribe and become a resistance. This was not something they wanted to see. Killing them now would solve many problems in the future.

Outside, Neal and Hong Xiang’s tribes surrounded Flame Dove’s camp. The others naturally picked up this movement. The other kings rushed over. They didn’t know what happened, but the entire Imperial City was a mess because of that.

“I will need King Hong Xiang’s help for what happens next.”

Ye Zhongming turned and said towards Hong Xiang, who wasn’t in a good state either.

Hong Xiang suppressed his injuries. Although he wanted to heal, he knew that there was work to do. He needed to reach a consensus with the other two kings and then suppress Flame Dove’s tribe.

This was something they had to do after discussions with Ye Zhongming.

Gaining their consensus was done so by giving them benefits. Splitting an old tribe was big enough of a benefit. If that wasn’t sufficient, Ye Zhongming could fill their greed.

Of course, Light Saint Hall was about to arrive. This was another reason why the kings would choose to work together.

Flame Dove was dead. Were the four remaining kings going to battle each other because of his death?

As long as one wasn’t stupid, Ye Zhongming didn’t think that they would do so.

So, the situation was decided once Flame Dove was killed.

There were some fights, but they didn’t last long and were suppressed by other sounds. In just a while, Cloud Peak’s warriors arrived. They relaxed when they saw that Ye Zhongming was fine.

He drank two potions. Liang Chuyin helped Ye Zhongming with his arm and then sat in Flame Dove’s tent to heal. As for the original owner of this place, he ended up in Yellow Ball’s stomach.

Ye Zhongming cultivated the Scorching Flame Technique and Soul Refining Technique, which had healing effects. It was more so in the Secret Realm.

There were some movements outside which differed in noise levels, but they were suppressed quickly. Ye Zhongming guessed that even if the four kings didn’t agree, the overall direction was something that was settled on.

Two hours later, footsteps were heard outside. Hong Xiang, Neal, and the two other kings, Ling Kun and Han Zishan, entered.

Black Pillar wasn’t here; Flame Dove was killed. Ling Kun was the only other level eight king. Ye Zhongming’s attention was naturally placed on his body.

This kinng wore a red robe, was thin and short, wore a black pearl necklace, and was bald. He looked like a monk.

But Ye Zhongming could pick up the aura of an expert from his body.

This Ling Kun was recognized by many as the strongest king amongst the Posthumous People.

Han Zishan beside him was much more muscular, and he looked very cunning. His arms and legs could be seen from outside his black leather armor. He held a giant bone blade and gave off a threatening aura.

Hong Xiang’s face was white when he entered. He was stumbling when he walked, which showed that his injuries were still affecting him. But before he could speak, his eyes had a weird glow.

He saw that Ye Zhongming’s broken arm could move slightly!

What kind of recovery was that? How long did it take? His bones had reattached?

He didn’t know that Ye Zhongming had used recovery potions. Ye Zhongming’s recovery speed was also overpowered.

After the few kings were introduced, the people in the tent held their breath. This conversation would decide their future.

Neal looked at Ye Zhongming with a complicated expression. This fellow was someone he could easily deal with the previous time. But now, he could work with Hong Xiang to kill Flame Dove. This gap was huge.

“Our Posthumous people King isn’t so easily killed.”

Ling Kun suddenly spoke; he looked at Ye Zhongming and didn’t hide his killing intent.

The atmosphere in the room got nervous, and the guards behind were on guard.

“Are your kings all so stupid?” Ye Zhongming asked Hong Xiang, which caused Ling Kun’s men to step forward.

They didn’t allow anyone to insult their king.

“I will also say it once, listen up.”

Ye Zhongming smiled coldly, “First, Flame Dove pushed you to hell; I am the one saving you!”

“Second, working with me is your only way out.”

“Third, you sitting here means you won’t attack. So when we work together in the future, don’t try anything. It is an insult to all of us.”

“Fourth, you can’t kill me.”

The four kings didn’t expect Ye Zhongming to be so frank, and he didn’t give Ling Kun any face at all.

Ye Zhongming laughed coldly. These kings met him before Flame Dove’s death; he would have treated them with respect and would even lower himself.

But what happened now? After Flame Dove’s death, the Posthumous people could not deal with Light Saint Hall alone. If they didn’t work together, they would just be waiting for death. Ye Zhongming was their only choice. So why should he allow them to insult him? Of course, he would fight back!

“Preposterous, work with you and we can go against them? With just these few people you have?” Han Zishan spoke. Although Ling Kun and him agreed, that was because of the situation. They were still annoyed.
