Shadow Hack - Chapter 616

Chapter 616: Violent Undercurrent Surges On

In Lucky Wind City, Lin Yuerou looked at the sky, and Li Yunmu’s four shadows promptly came to greet her.

Before she had arrived in Lucky Wind City, they had received information from Li Yunmu and knew that in the future, the place would be administered by her.

“Paying respects to city master!”

Lin Yuerou waved her hand and threw the cultivation relaying globe in the air and said to everyone underneath, “Your master has commanded that from now on, all supreme transcending level experts in the city must cultivate according to this cultivation method. The safety and survivability of Lucky Wind City depends on everyone’s efforts.

“Although Lucky Wind City is safe for the time being, a new power may someday appear. At that time, our transcending experts should not need to be afraid of it! Cultivate properly. You must not fail to live up to your master’s expectations!”

“Yes! Formidable master, wise city lord!”

Everyone knelt on the ground and performed nine kowtows toward Lin Yuerou. The sight of was extremely magnificent.

Although Lucky Wind City seemed auspicious and peaceful, a person should always be vigilant in times of peace. Li Yunmu was fighting in the Origin World with his full strength, so Lin Yuerou had to ensure peace and calm in Lucky Wind City without making any mistakes.

The newly appeared vampires had been docile in front of Li Yunmu, but after hearing about the new city lord, they had become restless.

All the factions had gradually received the information that Li Yunmu had left Lucky Wind City and gone to the Origin World. At that moment, a gigantic conspiracy began to brew in the background.

With Li Yunmu not being present, great waves were bound to be raised. It might be hard to win as things were, but if the people waited until Li Yunmu returned, they would lose their only chance to go at it.

In Flying Cloud City, the eyes of a black gown wearing man turned completely round. With an astonished expression, he asked, “Is the information acquired by you really true?”

“Has any of the information brought by me been false? Now, Lucky Wind City is only being defended by that silly little girl. Don’t you think that this is a good opportunity for us to make a comeback?”stated a blue gown wearing graceful man with a folding fan in his hand. There was a smile plastered across his face.

A man in a red gown standing on the side burst out laughing. “Young master Yu Mian’s words are correct. We should ally together and pressure Lucky Wind City. We have been oppressed for too long by that guy Li Yunmu. Now that he went to the Origin World, it is a great chance for us!”

Another man wearing a green gown was more cautious than the other three. “How many times have we traded blows with Li Yunmu? The experts under his command aren’t like those morons led by us. All of them possess outstanding strength, so how could we be an opponent for them?”

The blue gown wearing man smiled at him. “Manor Master Lu Lin, why are you so cautious? Why would we face those experts of Lucky Wind City head-on? Naturally we will use some tricks. It would be best to catch them unprepared and let that Li Yunmu know that we aren’t the type of people who can be suppressed whenever he wants.”

Seeing the glimmer of ruthlessness on the face of blue-gowned man, the green-gowned man retreated without saying anything.

The black gowned man’s expression became dignified and solemn. He paused for a moment before opening his mouth.

“Since everyone here agrees with the idea, then after three days, we will launch an offense on Lucky Wind City! Without Li Yunmu, it is like a man without a backbone. The new city lord is only a silly little girl; the words of those without any strength don’t hold any weight. As Young Master Yu Mian said just now, we will catch them unprepared!”

After the negotiation was completed, all of the men agreed to the plan.

In the meantime, Lin Yuerou was sitting in Lucky Wind City and didn’t know that a crisis was imminent.

But she also had her plans. What gave her the most headache right then were the newly emerged Vampire Clan. They were completely shameless, and even though they had been intimidated by Li Yunmu previously, they got restless once he left. They were also the closest to Lucky Wind City, so if some accident happened, they would also turn into the biggest threat.

As the proverb goes, a relative afar is less useful than a close neighbor. Since Vampire Clan was closest, Lin Yuerou felt that she should first take care of the relation with her neighbors. This would save them a lot of trouble.

The dealings with the vampires weren’t going smoothly, however. They were simply barbarians, and only Li Yunmu’s prestige kept these stubborn and unruly people at bay.

When the head of the vampires saw that the person who had come to negotiate with him was a woman, he sneered at her.

“Are there no men left in Lucky Wind City? Surprisingly they dispatched a woman to negotiate with us. They don’t have any sincerity.”

“Our Lucky Wind City dispatches people for negotiations based on their strength. The higher the strength of a faction, the more powerful the person sent for negotiation is. I am sorry, but my aptitude is quite shallow, so I was sent to negotiate with the vampires!”

Upon seeing Lin Yuerou’s arrogant expression, the leader of Vampires instantly turned sinister. “You! Are you trying to humiliate us?”

“I don’t dare. It’s only that the head’s previous words saying that our Lucky Wind City has no men left also seem quite insulting. If we have no men left, then where do those experts who leave everyone terror stricken come from?”

Lin Yuerou had already received the information related to Lucky Wind City’s surroundings from Ling Shuang and knew everything from it like the back of her hand. When she saw the vampire heard talk rudely to her, she immediately gave a fitting reply.

The head of vampires turned silent for a while, then raised a cup of wine toward Lin Yuerou and stated, “Our clan has some warm blooded youths. If today City Lord Lin could drink three cups of wine with us, then we vampires will be willing to agree to any condition raised by Lucky Wind City. What do you think?”

Li Tian, Li De, Li Feng and Li Yun who were following Lin Yuerou opened their eyes wide and prepared to attack.

If Li Yunmu was there, the vampires wouldn’t have the guts to act like that. Clearly, they were deliberately making things difficult for the new city lord.

“Your Vampire Clan doesn’t put the supreme transcending level experts of our Lucky Wind City in their eyes. Today, I will teach you a lesson and let you know everything about respecting your neighbors.”

Li Tian was just about to attack when he was stopped by Lin Yuerou.

After a small pause, she said, “Head’s words better be worth nine sacred tripods. At the moment, our Lucky Wind City doesn’t want to be enemies with your vampires. If we are truly attacked by other powers, we will also rely upon you to lend us a helping hand and not throw stones when we are down!”

The head of Vampires raised the cup and said with a smile, “Since I said so, then I will naturally keep my word. Our hot blooded youths will never break my word! I swear on this wine, if I break my promise, then my end will be like that of this cup!”

Pop!

A crisp sound echoed, and the cup in the head’s hand shattered into pieces.

“Then let’s proceed.”

Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Yuerou raised her cup and finished it in one go.

Li Tian couldn’t understand why Lin Yuerou was compromising with the vampires. Given Lucky Wind City’s strength, the vampires should be respectful to them instead of them having to agree to the conditions raised by the other party.
