CHAPTER 585 ALL DEAD
However.
At 7AM, there was no news.
At 8AM, there as still no news.
At 9AM, Luo Yongqian and the head of the Qi family had trouble sitting still. They started to pace up and down, and it was getting harder and harder to hide the anxiety and worry on their faces.
At 10AM, everything was still calm and quiet.
It was as if they had thrown a bomb into the water, but instead of exploding, it had just sunk right to the bottom of the water and didn't even cause a stir.
Even Song Gang started to frown.
"What's going on?" the head of the Tie family couldn't stand it anymore either. "Why isn't there any news?"
"Exactly! What's going on? We're not the only ones waiting - I'm afraid all the powerful families of the north are also waiting for this news."
Luo Yongqian had initially managed to suppress the uneasiness in his heart from the night before. But now the uneasiness had crept back up and it had filled his heart.
He felt uneasy and terrified.
The fear within him kept growing.
"Everyone!" Song Gang shouted out. "Please calm down."
"We've sent out a team of twelve, out of which four are grandmasters and the remaining eight are almost at grandmaster level. Who can stop such a powerful team?" He scoffed and looked very displeased as he arrogantly declared, "Never mind Donghai and Shenghai - I'm sure they'll be able to mow down several large areas!"
"But where's the result?" Luo Yongqian started to panic. "That's Donghai! It's a forbidden territory! You can't compare it to other places!"
"That place is hell on earth! A terrifying demon exists there!"
He was really getting scared.
He suddenly remembered what Master Fu told him before. Luo Yongqian's legs gave way and he landed on the floor with a loud thud.
Luo Yongqian was really terrified now.
If they still hadn't heard anything by now, then the only news they were going to get was bad news.
His sudden collapse onto the floor made Song Gang furious.
"Mr Luo!" Song Gang shouted at him. "If you behave like this..."
"Young Master Gang!"
Someone came running in from outside with a pale face and in a terrible panic.
"What is it!" Song Gang shouted. Belonging to .
This was the subordinate he had arranged to bring news back and Song Gang couldn't wait.
After going without news for so long, no matter how confident Song Gang was, he also started to feel uneasy. After Luo Yongqian suddenly lost control of his emotions, Song Gang also started to feel anxious.
"They're gone!" The subordinate knelt on the floor and shouted in panic, "They're all gone!”
"The four grandmasters have died in Shenghai and the eight skilled fighters have disappeared without a trace!"
BOOOOM.
It was as if a flash of lightning had struck the men from the four families.
"What did you say?" Song Gang thought he had heard him wrongly. "That's impossible! That's impossible!!" "They're all gone! All dead! The four grandmasters have died in Shenghai, their bodies have been found. The other eight are missing and I'm afraid...they're all dead too!"
Song Gang couldn't move. It was as if he was rooted to the floor.
The other three men were pale in the face. They couldn't believe things would turn out like this.
"What are you talking about?!" The head of the Qi family had a red face as he rushed over to grab the subordinate by his collar. "Explain yourself! How could the men headed for Donghai have gone missing? Explain it to me!!”
"They're all dead!”
"Dead..."
Even the head of the Tie family was in shock for a while.
This was impossible.
That was his first reaction.
They had sent twelve highly skilled fighters!
He could still accept the fact that eight of them had died in Donghai since he wasn't concerned with Donghai in the first place. Losing eight people was no big deal anyway.
But what about those four grandmasters?
They were grandmasters!
Back when Broken Sword was going on his massacre in the north, he still hadn't reached grandmaster level yet. But these four were highly skilled fighters who had truly reached grandmaster stage and were famous as a result!
They...they had all died just like that?
They had died in Shenghai overnight?
They hadn't even caused a ripple!
