The Last Rock Emperor - Chapter 342

Chapter 342 Coerced?
Hearing this, Li Feng, who was originally sitting, quickly stood up and said in a trembling voice, “What?”

“This is not a joke. Are you sure it was that person who took action?” He said uncertainly.

The black figure outside the door said in a low voice, “Yes!”

Although his voice was low and deep, his tone was extremely certain.

“Kacha …!”

The door to the pavilion opened and Li Feng rushed out at top speed. His eyes flashed with a cold light as he hurriedly said, “Keep a close watch on the other party, but you must keep a sufficient distance. The other party’s perception is extremely sharp. It’s best to send non-evolver members to monitor him.”

“Also, send someone to inform the minister immediately! No! It’s important. I’ll go to the minister’s place myself!”

Li Feng originally seemed to want the shadow to notify Fina, but after thinking about it, he chose to go there personally.

The main reason for that was because the identity of the person involved was too special.

After pondering for a moment, Li Feng made a follow-up arrangement, “If that’s the case, just keep an eye on his whereabouts. He shouldn’t run around this night!”

“The other side, keep an eye on them. They should have something that the other side handed over. They must not lose anything.”

“The opponent has paid such a high price. What he is plotting is by no means simple. If necessary, force him to destroy it.”

“Yes …!” The Shadow said straightforwardly.

Li Feng waved his hand and said, “Go!”

“Chi …!”

The wind howled, and the shadow merged into the night like a shadow…

Heavenly Rock City, City Lord’s Mansion, Rock King’s Pavilion.

As the name implied, the Rock King Pavilion was naturally the place where the Rock King rested. In other words, it was the private residence of Rock King Zhu Yifan.

As a matter of fact, Zhu Yifan, who was the master of Rock City, naturally had his own mansion.

It was rumored that the Rock King had personally chosen the location of this mansion and personally supervised its construction. The style was still simple and magnificent, and the interior decoration was extremely exquisite.

Strictly speaking, Heavenly Rock City was the Jiang Shan of the Zhu Clan. This Rock King Pavilion was naturally located in the City Lord’s Mansion.

Rock King Pavilion, a three-storey, 25.2 meters tall, 30 meters wide, 20 meters deep, concisely emitting the aura of a king.

The entire pavilion used nearly 3000 rock components. Based on the principle of lever structure, they were connected in series, supporting each other, restricting each other, and coordinating reasonably to form a graceful and stable entity. It was like an obsidian embedded in the buildings of the City Lord’s Mansion.

At the entrance of the Rock King Pavilion, there were dozens of bright sentries. All of them were experts. The owner of Heavenly Rock City, the Rock King’s mansion, naturally didn’t need to say anything more about the guards.

This was only on the surface. The hidden sentry in the Rock King Pavilion was the place that truly stood out. That was personally arranged by the King of the Dark Rock Soul Tribe.

There was a saying circulating in Heavenly Rock City that the servant of the Rock King Pavilion, the elite soldier of Heavenly Rock City.

It meant that any girl in the Rock King Pavilion was at the elite soldier level of Heavenly Rock City.

It could be seen that the evolvers of the Rock King Pavilion were so powerful that they were heavily guarded.

“Chi …!”

The wind whistled, and a green figure flew like a meteor towards the door of the Rock King Pavilion.

Qiang …!

As the swords were unsheathed neatly, a soldier guarding the Rock King Pavilion scolded, “Who is it? Stop right now!”

Li Feng was in a hurry and quickly came over. Hearing the words of the garrison warriors, he quickly stopped.

The few people from the garrison recognized Li Feng in an instant, but before the two sides could speak, a cold girl came from the attic. “Minister Li, master has an order. If you come, there is no need to notify…”

Li Feng murmured, “Looks like the minister has a premonition.”

A slender figure walked out of the room. Its appearance was quite outstanding, and there was a hint of heroism on its face. Judging from its clothes, it was actually a maid in the Rock King’s Cabinet.

Not a single person in the garrison spoke. The moment they saw the maids and Li Feng’s faces, they already knew that what was happening had nothing to do with them.

One was Storm Queen’s closest maidservant in the Rock King’s cabinet, Jing Zhe, and the other was Rock Soul Dark Tribe’s number two figure.

Without receiving any special orders from the Military Headquarters, none of them could be controlled by them.

Jing Zhe waved his hand and said indifferently, “Battalion Li hurried over. It seems that something urgent has happened. Please…”

Li Feng nodded as a reply, and then without saying anything else, he quickly walked into the Rock King Pavilion.

Rock King Pavilion, Congregation Hall.

Yi Fan, Fina, and Li Feng sat upright among them. In fact, Yi Fan, Ji Ruoxue, and Fina had just returned from the front lines.

Without even taking a hot bath, Jing Zhe brought Li Feng in. Judging from Li Feng’s appearance, there must be an emergency.

Judging from Li Feng’s appearance, he was naturally a secret guard of the Dark Tribe, but Sister Ruoxue was extremely sensible. She immediately said that she was tired and went to take a shower.

As soon as the three of them sat down, Yifan anxiously asked, “Li Feng, what happened? You actually came to report it yourself.”

Li Feng smiled bitterly, “Boss, the head of the Rock Soul Rock Division, Zhang Liang, just came into contact with the people from the outer city and handed him a tube-shaped item, suspected to be a secret item from the Rock City.”

“What …!” Yifan, who had just sat down, suddenly stood up and said, “Impossible. Zhang Liang, he has no reason!”

Fina, who was at the side, also had a dark expression. She bit her lips and asked, “Li Feng, this matter is of great importance. Are you sure?”

Li Feng said straightforwardly, “I am sure and certain that this line has always been stared at by the shadows. I believe that he will not speak nonsense.”

“Although we don’t want him to make a move, he made a move just now, less than five minutes ago.”

Yifan’s face remained calm, and his heart had already spun a thousand times. Zhang Liang… how could it be him?

That Nanhu Normal University, the second in the 705 dormitory, was one of the few people Yifan trusted the most.

Or perhaps it could be said that Yi Fan’s heart was the least likely to betray him, one of the few people who betrayed Heavenly Rock City.

Although Zhang Liang was usually quiet, he was the smartest person in the 705 dormitory before the end of the world. He shouldn’t be so foolish!

Now, he actually discovered that he had come into contact with the people of the outer city, and even handed over something to the other party. This was great.

One had to know that Zhang Liang was in charge of the Rock Soul Rock Division, which was the future of Heavenly Rock City.

Was it good for him to do so?

What was wrong with him?

What is his ultimate goal?

He couldn’t understand, Yi Fan couldn’t understand, he couldn’t understand, what could Zhang Liang obtain by betraying him?

He was well aware of the power of Heavenly Rock City. He was well aware of how powerful Heavenly Rock City was.

Even if the other nine cities came together, Heavenly Rock City had a strong foundation to fight against one of them.

Envy, jealousy, hatred? Is that possible?

If it didn’t exist, Zhang Liang wouldn’t be stupid to the point where he risked his life.

He had no reason at all?

Was he crazy?

Or is he trying to take my place? Become the number one figure in Heavenly Rock City?

Is that possible?

Not to mention the risk of doing so, even in terms of probability, his success rate was extremely low. With Zhang Liang’s mind, he shouldn’t be so superficial.

In his previous life, Yifan had been betrayed by Zhou Ming and Zhou Ming, but the current situation was completely different from his previous life.

That fellow Zhou Ming wasn’t a member of his own side from the beginning. Strictly speaking, that fellow Zhou Ming wasn’t a betrayer.

It was because he was originally the Dark Child of the Cao Clan who had been planted under his nose, let alone Zhou Ming.

In his previous life, Yi Fan was so young and innocent that he couldn’t see through this fellow’s mask. However, compared to his previous life, Yi Fan today was completely different.

In his opinion, the current Zhang Liang was naturally different. Four years of schoolmates lived under the same roof. The few people in the 705 dormitory knew their roots, so there was no such situation as Zhou Ming and Zhou Ming.

Moreover, with Yi Fan’s vision of his two lives, and the final outcome of the dormitory’s people in his previous life, combined with his current life’s contact, he had a deep understanding of the dormitory’s people.

Zhang Liang, a good friend of his classmates, would really betray him?

In that instant, all sorts of thoughts, reasoning, and judgments flashed through Yifan’s mind.

However, they were quickly extinguished by him, and according to his reasoning and possibilities, the final conclusion was that;

Without any external force, Zhang Liang would never betray him just because he wanted something!

Now that he had stepped into the apocalyptic devil origin era, it was still worth Zhang Liang’s effort. He would never betray his own external forces regardless of his own future and safety, regardless of his reputation.

With Yifan’s understanding of him, there was only one possibility, and that was familial love!

Someone controlled Zhang Liang’s family and threatened him to steal the secret items from the Rock Soul Rock Division.

This is the only possibility that Yifan can make out of all the hypotheses.

In Fei Na and Li Feng’s eyes, Yifan seemed to have suffered a heavy blow because of Zhang Liang’s betrayal, although his expression remained calm.

However, their slightly trembling hands and their dispirited appearance allowed the two of them to know that this matter was far more shocking to their boss than it seemed on the surface.

However, since he had already become the City Lord, he naturally had to be the City Lord.

In a moment, Yifan had completely calmed down. He said very seriously, “Li Feng, listen carefully!”

“After thinking about this matter in detail and my understanding of him, I finally came to the conclusion that Zhang Liang should not be betraying me.”

“Huh?”

Fei Na and Li Feng almost instinctively cried out in alarm. They even thought that they had heard wrongly.

Fei Na said anxiously, “Brother Fan, painting skin and tiger is difficult to draw bones, knowing people and knowing faces is difficult to know hearts. You taught me this ancient Chinese phrase…”

Yi Fan said seriously, “Fina, of course I know, but there is no love or hatred for no reason in this world.”

“If he wants to betray me, or if he wants to oppose me, it can’t be without reason. Or, for the time being, does he not have the energy to oppose me?”

“So, in the final analysis, it is true that he stole the secret, but it would be too arbitrary to say that he completely betrayed Heavenly Rock City.”

“According to my understanding of him, it is very likely that he was coerced …!”

“Coercion…!”

Li Feng, who originally wanted to persuade him, instinctively murmured and quickly fell into thought.

Fina, on the other hand, had a lot of dealings with Zhang Liang because of the research equipment. She had some understanding of Zhang Liang’s character.

Hearing Yifan’s words, her eyes lit up after a moment of contemplation. Obviously, she still had expectations for Yifan’s words.
