Free Web NovelChapter 594: Chapter 60: Imbalance_3
However, they also had no other channels to obtain information because the entire Celestial Strategy Mansion leadership vanished, and later even Li Zheng and others, as well as the Security Army, lost contact.
And as Kunlun fell into paralysis, so did the intelligence system.
The only thing they could do seemed to be to wait.
"Still unable to contact anyone?"
Si Yujie, who had not slept all night, looked at Xia Panqiu and Wu You standing in front of her, who also had not slept, and asked.
Both of them shook their heads with grim expressions.
"..."
Si Yujie was silent for a moment, then looked out the window, took a deep breath: "Panqiu, go back to rest, as for Wu You, you take Xiaoyan to find Chen Lusi, and I’m going to make a trip to Kunlun."
"You..."
Wu You opened his mouth, instinctively wanting to stop her, but as the words reached his lips, he thought of the known information, then swallowed his words, nodded with difficulty: "Okay."
Si Yujie reminded worriedly: "Don’t tell Xiaoyan what happened yet, just tell her that I need to go out for a bit."
"Okay."
Wu You nodded again.
Si Yujie looked at Xia Panqiu: "Panqiu, did you hear me? Go back to rest."
But Xia Panqiu was holding her phone, her head down, seemingly not hearing her.
"Panqiu?"
Si Yujie was a bit puzzled and called her again.
Still no response.
Si Yujie furrowed her delicate eyebrows, then reached out and held her shoulder, gently shook her: "What’s wrong?"
Finally, Xia Panqiu reacted. She slowly raised her head and looked at Si Yujie, her beautiful eyes instantly misting over.
"Panqiu."
Seeing her expression, Si Yujie was slightly startled: "What’s wrong?"
"...Xiaoxiao."
Xia Panqiu, with a voice tinged with tears, called out to her, then turned her phone around.
[...the most severe legendary activation... the most famous Kunlun Pantheon collective parade... East Kunlun Mountain Range severely damaged... nearly destroyed... Celestial Strategy Mansion’s strongest force Xia Yue perished.]
"..."
As these keywords came into view.
Si Yujie’s pupils suddenly contracted, her heart stopped beating.
Clang.
On the other side, Wu You staggered, dropping the phone in his hand to the ground, stunned like a wooden chicken.
The Celestial Strategy Trading front desk was in dead silence.
And in the midst of that silence.
Si Yujie’s phone on the table suddenly vibrated.
But nobody even glanced at the phone.
After a long while.
No one knew how many times the phone vibrated.
Finally, Si Yujie looked at the phone, then took a deep breath and answered the call.
"...Si Yujie, the situation is urgent, I’ll keep it short. For the sake of your daughter, please immediately elect someone for the third battalion of Celestial Strategy, or I will appoint someone."
Ji Xin’s tired voice came through.
That day, the entire Celestial Strategy Mansion entered a state of war preparedness.
...
At the same time.
Not far from Celestial Strategy Trading.
Downstairs Qinyuan and Mansion.
Chen Lusi stood by the roadside, watching the two sisters get into the car and leave, then was about to head back.
Suddenly, his phone vibrated.
He picked up the phone and glanced at it.
Lin Ying: "Don’t worry, I’ll be back after taking Lin Wan to school."
Chen Lusi was silent for a moment, replied with an "okay," and then was about to put his phone away when he noticed that since last night, messages kept popping up... even the general group message that just had activity suddenly went silent.
The most recent message was from half an hour ago.
Chen Lusi slightly frowned, clicked on the message from half an hour ago.
[From now on, Celestial Strategy Mansion is fully entering a state of war preparedness.]
As soon as he clicked on it, Chen Lusi saw this message.
He was suddenly startled, then immediately scrolled up, and his pupils suddenly shrank.
...he also saw the news transported from the black market.
Xia Yue... perished.
Chen Lusi stood by the roadside, staring at the words on the screen, unmoving.
...
To the north.
A small town near the border.
A woman with beautiful green eyes looked at her phone, a message on the screen, slightly startled, then suddenly burst into a loud laugh: "Hahaha."
People around her looked at her in surprise, thinking she had gone mad.
"Dead! Xia Yue is actually dead..."
"Hahaha."
But the woman didn’t care about the looks from others, instead, she laughed even louder.
Because she knew all too well what this meant.
Celestial Strategy Mansion’s strongest force... Xia Yue’s death.
This meant...the most crucial weight maintaining the country’s Empowerer power balance was lost.
The previously relatively stable structure would suddenly become unstable.
What awaited Celestial Strategy Mansion would be a raging storm.
