Chapter 554 - 554 Sky Sand City
Chapter 554 Sky Sand City
The burly man who was extremely frightened just a moment ago suddenly became unrestrained, picking up the knife that had fallen to the ground and once again confronting Chen Yu.
“I thought you were someone important, but it turns out you’re just one of Lin’s men. If that’s the case, I won’t show any mercy,” he said.
Chen Yu’s pupils dilated suddenly, noticing that Lin Chuhe apparently didn’t hold much status here.
“If I remember correctly, Lin Chuhe should be your supervisor, yet you’re so disrespectful towards him. Have you grown the courage of a bear and a leopard?”
The burly man burst out laughing.
“What we do here is authorized by several Deputy Tower Masters themselves, no one else has the right to interfere. Lin Chuhe is just a minor manager, you think you can control us with his Token, do you have a death wish?”
Chen Yu almost laughed his core out. All his Deputy Tower Masters had already been taken down by him, and the entire Sky Sand Cave was now under Xu Linjun’s control.
It seemed that these fellows in front of him were still unaware of what had happened with the new tower.
A sly smile flashed across Chen Yu’s face, and then he stood up straight away, releasing a burst of blue and white light. The burly man in front of him fainted on the spot.
The others froze there, not expecting Chen Yu to actually make a move.
Just as they were about to call for help, the patrol team rushed into the shop and pinned the burly men to the ground.
“The order from the Tower Master is to eliminate all forces associated with the Deputy Tower Masters within the Sky Sand Cave, and you few are on the list for purging!”
The burly men’s eyes widened in shock. In their view, the Deputy Tower Masters were the true power cores in Sky Sand Cave, and the so-called Tower Master was nothing more than a puppet.
“You’re truly rebelling! Release us quickly, or you will end up with no place to bury your corpses.”
The patrol team didn’t care about their shouting and dragged the burly men straight out of the shop.
The shopkeeper watched in disbelief. He had run his shop here for many years, and the subordinates of the Deputy Tower Masters were accustomed to throwing their weight around because the Tower Master of the Core Tower never dared to utter an extra word.@@novelbin@@
But now, the Tower Master had ordered the patrol team to arrest these people, which meant the Tower Master had reclaimed the actual power.
Chen Yu didn’t say anything more, just went back to his seat to continue eating.
“Are you really going to take all the natural-born superpower users here back to Xuanqing Sect?”
Jin Lingsu was somewhat worried.
Everything in the Sky Sand Cave was built around the natural-born superpower users. If all these people were taken back to Xuanqing Sect, then the Sky Sand Cave would no longer exist.
Chen Yu spread his hands out, “Why must we take them back? We might as well set up a branch of Xuanqing Sect here and manage Sky Sand Cave together with them. After all, Xuanqing Sect already has many branches around the world. One more won’t make a difference.”
Jin Lingsu nodded, giving Chen Yu a strange look.
“Then, can I also have a spot set up for me here?” she asked.
Chen Yu raised an eyebrow. Jin Lingsu wanting a spot was clearly because she had her eye on those precious antiques and treasures.
“Let’s wait until everything is settled before we talk about it. It’s indeed a bit too early to give you a spot now,” he said.
Jin Lingsu was slightly dissatisfied but didn’t say anything more.
Before long, the entire Sky Sand Cave had descended into chaos.
Those who had previously relied on the various deputy tower masters for business had been uprooted by the patrol teams. Their assets, along with all kinds of equipment they possessed, were also confiscated; even some of the naturally gifted superpowered individuals who worked for them had their magnetic fields forcibly stripped away, turning them into ordinary people.
Once the streets had become peaceful once more, Lin Chuhe quickly scrambled to find Chen Yu with two people in tow.
“Sect Leader Chen, the rebellion within the city has been completely quelled. Our tower master wishes to invite you over to discuss the specifics,” Lin Chuhe said urgently.
Chen Yu didn’t say much and followed Lin Chuhe back up the Core Tower.
In less than half a day, a revolutionary change had taken place: the protective nets between the floors had been dismantled, and even the protective shields had disappeared without a trace.
The superpowered individuals, who had previously been confined like prisoners, were now afforded corresponding freedom. Only some special researchers still had to stay within closed environments.
When Chen Yu arrived at the top floor, Xu Linjun had already been waiting there for a long time.
“Sect Leader Chen, I’m terribly sorry for the alarm! From now on, I am the true master here, with the authority to decide the fate of everyone. I have a document here that I hope you will sign,” Xu Linjun said apologetically.
Chen Yu took the document and glanced over it, only to find it was the deed for the merger of all assets of Sand Point into the Xuanqing Sect.
According to the terms of the contract, Sand Point would cease to exist from then on, and all personnel here would be under Xuanqing Sect’s command.
Chen Yu exhaled a heavy breath and handed the contract back.
“These terms are too unfair for you. I think Sand Point doesn’t need to merge into the Xuanqing Sect completely—we could just sign a mutual cooperation agreement instead,” he suggested.
Xu Linjun appeared somewhat helpless and quickly pulled Chen Yu aside.
“Sect Leader Chen may not be aware that there is a Sky Sand City sixty kilometers from here which has always maintained economic interactions with Sand Point. To some extent, a lot of Sand Point’s industries’ operational rights lie there,” he explained.
Chen Yu’s brow furrowed slightly; it seemed the former deputy tower masters had sold out quite a few of Sand Point’s industries for their own benefit.
If the Xuanqing Sect were to cooperate directly with Sand Point, they couldn’t avoid dealings with Sky Sand City.
What Xu Linjun could do was hand over all the industries of Sand Point he could control, to Chen Yu.
In this way, they could use the influence of the Xuanqing Sect to confront Sky Sand City.
“I’m aware of that place. It’s said to be the largest private city in the Sahara Desert!” Chen Yu mentioned nonchalantly, seemingly undisturbed by the city’s reputation.
Surprise showed on Xu Linjun’s face: “Sect Leader Chen, please do not underestimate that city. Their strength is even greater than the Knights of the Round Table we faced before,” he warned.
Chen Yu nodded, taking out a pen and paper from nearby and writing down a series of numbers.
“After I leave, you call this number. Someone from Xuanqing Sect will come to handle the handover. My two friends will stay here for now,” he instructed. Stay updated with
Xu Linjun’s eyes widened in shock: “Where are you planning to go?”
“To Sky Sand City,” Chen Yu replied, his expression extraordinarily calm, as if he were referring to a trivial destination.
Before the others could react, his figure had already flickered out of the Core Tower.
Everyone present was terrified; they knew exactly what kind of place Sky Sand City was, and Chen Yu’s abrupt departure could mean danger.
Not daring to delay, Xu Linjun hurriedly dialed the number Chen Yu had left behind.
What do you think?
