Chapter 177 There is no medicine for regret and no tense standoffs in the world
"Would you like to come with me and take a look?"
Emperor Yan asked Xu Tingfei.
"me?"
Xiao Fei pondered for a moment. Had he just escaped the tiger's den and was now heading towards the wolf pack?
Who would have guessed that his initial purpose in coming here was simply to gather intelligence?
"I'd better take this guy with me now."
Xu Tingfei shook his head. Although he actually wanted to go, he didn't want to follow Yan Di, who was a powder keg that could explode at any moment.
It's really not appropriate. Let's go back and discuss it with Huanying first, when he decided to take Lu Fa hostage.
He asked if Lu Fa was sure he was the leader of the Netherworld Legion.
After receiving an affirmative answer.
He then ended the communication with Huanhuan.
"Tell me what happened, tell me what happened..."
She was unaware of what had happened to Xiaofei and Xiaogang, and could only pace anxiously alone in the teppanyaki restaurant.
Their team's first operation did not seem to have a very good outcome.
"It's only human nature...but..."
Emperor Yan suddenly grinned.
"They just received the news over there. The time was around the same time we met. If there are also strong individuals over there, they might have already sensed our battle aura and are rushing over."
Emperor Yan's voice was filled with indifference.
"Don't you really want to see those people?"
Emperor Yan brought his face closer to the black robe in his hand, and his laughter became even more unrestrained.
Lu Fa's heart skipped a beat.
He has absolutely no way of knowing where the Nether Legion is now.
But there is no doubt that the people Emperor Yan mentioned were those people.
That Emperor Yan didn't tell me anything...
Lufa suddenly realized that cooperating with such a person was incredibly exhausting, but he had even begged for it himself…
I didn't expect it to happen anyway.
"Look, isn't this coming?"
Emperor Yan gestured for Xu Tingfei to look behind him.
Upon hearing Emperor Yan's words, Xu Tingfei slowly turned his head. In an instant, his eyes widened, and his face showed an expression of extreme shock, as if he had seen an army of demons from the depths of hell.
This was the first time he had seen their destined adversary, the Netherworld Demon.
A group of tall, ferocious-looking creatures slowly approached with perfectly synchronized steps.
It is exactly the same as the statue inside the Demon Suppression Tower.
Their steps were heavy and powerful, echoing dully like the drumbeats of death.
The leader exuded a chilling aura of majesty, his upright posture like a king in the darkness, leading this terrifying group forward.
Xu Tingfei had never seen it before.
His armor gleamed with a cold, eerie light; the white armor seemed to tell a story of slaughter and bloodshed.
The three people beside him were of different appearances, but all exuded a powerful aura.
They are the three at the very top of the Demon Suppression Tower.
The next eleven people were lined up in neat rows, their movements coordinated and synchronized, like a well-trained army.
These Netherworld Demons emitted black mist, as if dyeing the surrounding air a dark color.
Their figures appeared and disappeared in the mist, adding to the mysterious and terrifying atmosphere.
They held various strange and deadly weapons in their hands, the blades gleaming coldly in the dim light, as if thirsting for blood.
Xu Tingfei felt a chill rise up his spine, his scalp tingled, and his blood seemed to freeze.
His breathing became rapid and heavy, and his heart pounded wildly in his chest, as if it were about to burst out of his chest.
"Is this the enemy we are facing?"
A group of demons returned from hell.
But they seemed disciplined and orderly, without any sense of chaotic disorder.
Walking along it, there's a sense of solemnity to it.
Xu Tingfei suddenly understood: were their opponents the Netherworld Demons?
It does not seem.
The Netherworld Demons are merely individual beings.
Their true enemy is the Netherworld Legion.
After sensing the fluctuations of battle near the Demon Suppression Tower, Zhang Zhao realized something.
Has the other side started taking action?
It just so happened that he had just finished reforming military discipline.
Why not take this opportunity to go out for a stroll?
And so this scene unfolded.
He never expected that Xiaofei and Xiaogang would come here and encounter the Flame Emperor...
So, did you get your hands on the Shura Armor?
Zhang Zhao didn't sense any aura like that of Shura. What he could sense was the aura of the Flame Emperor and the aura that existed during the decisive battle on Flame Star.
Such a long prison sentence did not give it the slightest chance to diminish.
But it doesn’t matter anymore.
Faced with such an imposing team, Xu Tingfei was stunned, Xiao Gang was depressed... and Lin Huamei fainted from fright.
Emperor Yan, wearing Lu Fa's black robe, walked towards them.
He alone is worth ten thousand soldiers.
Seeing this, Lu Fa was at a loss for what to do.
He felt somewhat lost and wanted to hide himself away.
Lu Fa's gaze followed Emperor Yan's retreating figure, fixed on the army before him.
His eyes revealed complex emotions. Memories of the past flooded his mind like a tide. A thousand years ago, when he first set foot on this unfamiliar planet, he was filled with an extreme desire for power and the energy crystal that was about to be obtained. He believed that he was about to ascend the galactic throne and become the king who would rule over all things.
At that time, he was full of vigor and ambition, holding the Gengnu Vajra Pestle, a symbol of supreme power, tightly in his hand, leading his loyal Netherworld Legion, and marching out of Yanmen Pass with firm and powerful steps.
However, time has passed, and the world has changed. The current situation is something he never expected. The Netherworld Legion is no longer his for the taking, and those brothers who once fought alongside him and shared life and death are now standing against him.
He knew full well that he had done many things against his conscience and brotherhood for the sake of this so-called throne.
"Betrayal is the path to kingship? Isn't that right, Peel?"
Betrayal is a stepping stone to the pinnacle of power!
Add to that a determination for revenge.
He betrayed the Netherworld Legion.
But when these familiar figures reappeared before his eyes, the guilt and confusion he had buried deep in his heart grew wildly like weeds.
He recalled the difficult years he had spent with his soldiers, the moments when they supported each other on the battlefield and were bound together by life and death, and the brothers who had chosen to sacrifice themselves to conquer Yanxing.
Now they have all been transformed into sharp blades.
It pierced his heart. After escaping Ares, becoming king was his lifelong pursuit, a goal he would achieve at any cost.
But now that he is actually facing all of this, he begins to doubt whether all the betrayals and sacrifices along the way were really worth it.
Lufa was caught in a deep struggle and contradiction.
But he knew he had to let go...
He once fantasized that even if he betrayed the Netherworld Legion, would some of his old comrades still cherish their past friendship and come looking for him...
But apparently not.
He wondered if he was being presumptuous.
"But I've already lost so much, I must succeed..."
Forcibly cut off these chaotic thoughts.
Let evil thoughts, revenge, and desires fill your mind.
But now, Lu Fa can only be an observer.

"Hello there!"
"Hello there!"
