Yan Country, Ning Faction Headquarters.
Old Hai and Old Liu looked at the Ning Faction Headquarters, which had been reduced to ruins, their hearts filled with mixed emotions. This place held too much for them.
Both sighed deeply and shook their heads with wry smiles, seemingly admitting, as Ning Tianman had said, that they were getting too old!
At that moment, the group of True Kings who had been captured by Qian Er earlier appeared behind them.
They were now clearly divided into two groups. One group consisted of the True Kings who had attacked Old Hai and Old Liu earlier.
They were surrounded by the other True Kings, and the atmosphere along the way was extremely strange, as if they were afraid of letting these traitors escape.
The few True Kings who were surrounded remained calm throughout the journey, showing no signs of resistance.
Zheng Xin, Yong Xuehai, plus Old Hai and Old Liu, excluding Ning Tianman, almost all of the Ning Faction's backbone were gathered here.
One of the Ning Faction's True Kings pointed at the betrayers and took the lead in launching an attack.
"You traitors, has Old Ning ever shortchanged you all these years? Eating from the Ning Faction, taking from the Ning Faction, and then attacking the Ning Faction, you are a bunch of ingrates who don't deserve to be human!"
The faces of the several traitors turned green and purple. They all knew in their hearts that they were likely doomed today!
"Hmph, who doesn't know the Ning Faction's situation now? A wise bird chooses a good tree to perch on. What's wrong with what we did!"
"If we had Old Ning's abilities, we naturally wouldn't run. Who doesn't know that Old Hai and Old Liu can't beat Brother Bao?"
One of the True Kings retorted defiantly.
"A wise bird chooses a good tree to perch on, huh!"
At this moment, Old Hai and Old Liu also walked in front of the group of True Kings, looking at the few traitors, their eyes almost spitting fire.
"Old Hai, Old Liu."
The group of True Kings breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the two elders were not injured. Old Hai and Old Liu nodded to Zheng Xin, Yong Xuehai, and the others as a sign of acknowledgment.
Then, Old Hai's face darkened, and he looked at the several betrayers with a stern gaze.
His voice was cold as he said, word by word.
"Arrest all these people and administer family law!"
After Old Hai said these words, the betraying True Kings broke out in cold sweat, while the other True Kings of the Ning Faction applauded.
"No!"
At this moment, Zheng Xin said something inappropriate, and then stopped the several True Kings who were walking towards the betrayers.
Old Hai and Old Liu were puzzled. They looked at Zheng Xin, who seemed to have something he couldn't say, and hesitated to continue.
"Old Zheng, what do you mean? You don't want to protect them, do you?"
Although Old Liu and Old Hai didn't respect Zheng Xin too much, they didn't dare to say anything too harsh because of Qian Er behind him.
The atmosphere at the scene was very strange. Breaking this strangeness was the arrival of another group of people.
"How lively. It's been a long time since the Ning Faction has been so lively!"
The man who spoke was not tall and was smoking a cigarette. It was Wang Xiaobao, the person in charge of the Wang Faction!
As soon as Wang Xiaobao arrived, everyone in the Ning Faction's eyes turned red. They looked at Wang Xiaobao as if they were looking at their father's murderer.
Many of the True Kings couldn't wait to rush forward and summon their summoned beasts to tear Wang Xiaobao apart!
However, Old Liu and Old Hai never gave the order, so no one dared to act rashly. Many True Kings looked at the two of them inquiringly.
Old Hai shook his head. No matter how chaotic the Ning Faction was internally, it was still their own business. Cleaning up the house had not escalated to a serious level.
Even if the Emperor knew about it, he would at most turn a blind eye.
If the Ning Faction attacked Wang Xiaobao today, then the nature of the matter would be different.
The Emperor would have a more sufficient reason to attack the Ning Faction, and it wouldn't be as simple as today.
"Calm down. Are you trying to rebel by fighting in the streets?"
After hearing Zheng Xin's words, they sobered up a lot, and all the True Kings reluctantly retreated.
"What are you doing?"
Wang Xiaobao looked at the few people and asked with feigned doubt.
The betrayers showed joy when they saw Wang Xiaobao, and their backs straightened a little. Old Hai waved his hand, signaling the others to release the encirclement of the betrayers.
"But..."
One of the True Kings was puzzled. He didn't understand why they had to release these betrayers. He looked at Old Hai, who looked at Zheng Xin.
The Ning Faction had to keep Zheng Xin safe. If he left, it would really be over.
Zheng Xin was helpless. It seemed that he had to reveal the truth today.
"Don't worry, they won't be jumping around for long. If we keep them here today, we'll ruin Qian Er's big plan!"
Zheng Xin's answer was ambiguous. After hearing this, Old Hai and Old Liu signaled the other True Kings to release the several betrayers.
Since Qian Er was involved, then it was fine. If Qian Er's affairs were delayed, then the Ning Faction would really be finished.
The several True Kings came to Wang Xiaobao's side, and one of them said directly to Wang Xiaobao.
"From now on, we will no longer work for the Wang Faction."
The others nodded in agreement, indicating that they wanted to leave the Wang Faction.
When Wang Xiaobao heard this, he was immediately surprised. He had always known about Qian Er's imprisonment of this group of Dark Faction True Kings, otherwise he wouldn't have come to the scene as soon as they came out.
However, Qian Er's secrecy was very good, and Wang Xiaobao didn't find out anything. Now that they wanted to clear their relationship with him as soon as they came out, it seemed that Qian Er's recent actions were not small!
"Why is this? Tell me your reasons."
Wang Xiaobao asked calmly.
"Qian Er had those Dark Faction researchers create a Gate of Hell. From now on, all the resources from Dark Faction members who harm their own kind will be directly transported to the Gate of Hell..."
Wang Xiaobao was so clever that he already understood Qian Er's purpose even before the other party finished speaking.
The reason why Wang Xiaobao was able to co-opt this group of True Kings was precisely because of the resources.
But if all the resources were controlled, then they would no longer have a reason to work for him.
"Now, you can't just leave whenever you want. As members of the Ning Faction, you stabbed them in the back at a critical moment. How long do you think you can live without the protection of the Wang Faction?"
Wang Xiaobao said lightly, but his words weighed heavily in the ears of the several True Kings.
"You've also seen that the Ning Faction is planning to execute family law."
The faces of the several people changed, and their brows furrowed.
"Look at the opposite side, see how many people want to attack you?"
Wang Xiaobao looked at the crowd on the opposite side who were rubbing their fists and palms, and he wasn't afraid in his heart, because he knew that the Ning Faction would never dare to attack him.
He only dared to secretly trip them up. If the two factions of Yan Country fought in the streets, the impact would be very bad.
But this scene, for these True Kings, it would be false to say that they were not afraid.
They perfectly interpreted the word "guilty conscience."
They knew the other party's temperament and personality very well after spending so many years with this group of people. The Ning Faction would never let it go.
"So, I'm protecting you. Of course, if you don't need my protection, it doesn't matter if you want to leave!"
Wang Xiaobao smiled meaningfully. He looked at the few people and showed a kind smile. After hearing this, everyone immediately gave up the idea of leaving the Wang Faction.
If they died in the Ning Faction or after leaving the Ning Faction to live their own carefree lives, they could be classified as internal strife within the Ning Faction, which wouldn't be a big deal.
But it would be different in the Wang Faction. Fighting would belong to the internal strife of the entire Yan Country, which the higher-ups would not tolerate. At most, they would secretly trip them up like Wang Xiaobao.
It would be as difficult as ascending to heaven to assassinate a True King-level Beastmaster.
