In a private chat room, similar to those exclusive to the Lords of Destruction.
Because a video of a colleague being humiliated went viral on the interstellar network, even the Lords of Destruction, who usually had little contact, began to gather.
"Fēng: Huàn Lóng, is the person being beaten in this video you? @Huàn Lóng"
After sending the message, a video of someone being severely beaten by two giants in golden armor was attached below.
It was unknown whether the person who made this video did it intentionally or not, but it was even on a loop.
"Casting King: Fēng, you're asking the obvious."
"Lightfade: You're really embarrassing us Lords of Destruction."
"Xing Xiao: Indeed."
"Gui Ji: I'll just smile and say nothing."
"Iron Tomb: ..."
Huàn Lóng's injuries hadn't healed yet, and seeing the messages in the chat room almost made her cough up blood in anger.
Especially from a certain colleague who hadn't even been born yet.
The others were fine, but who was Iron Tomb to speak?
"Huàn Lóng: What business is it of yours? Be careful, or I'll make you have a premature birth! @IronTomb"
"Casting King: Awesome."
"Lightfade: Stop embarrassing yourself. What's the point of bullying Iron Tomb? You might not care about your reputation, but we do."
"Fēng: Hmph, always resorting to schemes and tricks, never anything honorable. If you were like me, how could you end up in such a sorry state?"
If one were to speak of the embodiment of violent destruction among the Lords of Destruction, it would undoubtedly be Fēng.
He advocated violent destruction.
He was obsessed with the power and beauty that erupted at the moment of an object's destruction.
He had the terrifying reputation of "One Man, Ten Thousand Armies" throughout the universe.
"Huàn Lóng: Fēng is talking about you. Don't always resort to schemes and tricks, never anything honorable. @Gui Ji"
"Gui Ji: What does that have to do with me? He's clearly talking about you."
Gui Ji expressed his exasperation.
He was truly caught in the crossfire while doing nothing.
Although Fēng's words included him, after all, compared to Fēng, who was a brainless brute charging into battle, he preferred to be a chess player.
Gui Ji enjoyed slowly advancing the front, building advantages, exerting pressure, and gradually eroding the resistance of his opponents.
Then, like observing an ant colony, he would watch the slow structural collapse of suffering civilizations.
The conversation in the chat room also reflected that the internal relationships among the Lords of Destruction were not very harmonious.
Due to conflicts in their respective ideologies, they looked down on each other.
A brainless brute like Fēng equally looked down on everyone.
However, he indeed had the strength to back it up.
After all, not every Aeon Envoy dared to point their sword at "The Nothingness."
"Fēng: I hope you all show the grandeur befitting a Lord of Destruction and don't disgrace Lord Nanook."
Fēng directly used the pretense of scolding Huàn Lóng to issue verbal warnings to the other Lords of Destruction.
As Aeon Envoys under the Destruction Aeon, they all held more or less reverence for Nanook.
Just like a certain interstellar peace company dedicated everything to the Amber Lord, and those Masked Fools dedicated their fun to the Aeon of Mirth.
The Lords of Destruction were no different.
Regarding Fēng's warning, many Lords of Destruction were unwilling, but unable to refute him.
After all, he had invoked the name of the Destruction Aeon, Nanook.
So, one by one, they could only parrot, adding, "All for Lord Nanook!" at the end.
Seeing the other Lords of Destruction so cooperative, Fēng was very satisfied.
"Fēng: I don't know what you've been up to recently, but if you can't restore the reputation of the Lords of Destruction, then wait for me to personally bestow destruction upon you. @Huàn Lóng"
They, the Lords of Destruction, were the embodiment of terror.
Now, on the interstellar network, especially with some Masked Fools starting to treat the Lords of Destruction as a joke, it was simply an insult to the name of [Destruction].
"Huàn Lóng: Hmph, I know. In a while, I'll let you witness my unique [Destruction]."
After Huàn Lóng sent this message, Fēng gave no response.
The entire chat room fell silent.
As mentioned before, there was very little contact among them, the Lords of Destruction. Not only were their relationships not good, but one could even say they were unfamiliar with each other.
Moreover, they all had their own matters to attend to, so it was already quite something that they could spare some time to chat with colleagues they didn't get along with.
Huàn Lóng, who had already closed the chat room interface, began to curse Fēng through gritted teeth.
"What's with him, a brainless brute who only knows how to use violence, acting as if he's the first Aeon Envoy of Destruction."
"And Casting King, Lightfade, if you're so great, why didn't you dare to confront Fēng just now?"
"And that idiot—Jing Yuan, you're a legitimate Aeon Envoy of The Hunt, why do you insist on becoming a Sea Ranger? You must be out of your mind!"
The more she spoke, the angrier Huàn Lóng became.
Because of this, she couldn't suppress her internal injuries and involuntarily grimaced in pain.
After a great deal of effort, Huàn Lóng mobilized her power to stabilize her injuries again.
Immediately after, her expression fluctuated between dark and bright, and then she pulled out a small green bottle from somewhere.
Bringing her nose close to the mouth of the bottle and inhaling, Huàn Lóng immediately felt refreshed all over, and even her internal injuries seemed to have improved.
That's right.
This was the medicinal pill Dan Shu gave her today, the same bottle Nan Li had given to Yu Fei.
However, being naturally suspicious, Huàn Lóng did not take this unknown medicinal pill immediately.
She did not trust The Vidya Fellowship, and even regarded them as expendable pawns.
But now, feeling the medicinal power emanating from the pill in the bottle, Huàn Lóng changed her view of The Vidya Fellowship.
"Dan Shu actually didn't lie. This pill is truly refined from the flower of the Ambrosial Arbor."
"Yes! Only something related to the [Ambrosial Arbor] could have such an effect."
No longer hesitating, Huàn Lóng poured out the pill from the bottle, then, fearing too much medicinal power would dissipate, quickly swallowed and refined it.
After a long while, Huàn Lóng, who had reopened her eyes, let out a soft hum from her throat.
It was a hum of pure satisfaction.
She felt her injuries had healed by about seventy to eighty percent.
When the plan to destroy the Xianzhou Luofu was officially implemented, she would be able to fully recover to her peak state.
"[Ambrosial Arbor], how truly captivating... Heh heh!"
Just as Huàn Lóng was carefully savoring the rich vitality contained within that pill, someone began to contact her.
"Gui Ji: Huàn Lóng, you didn't tell anyone else about our plan, did you?"
"Huàn Lóng: What's wrong? What happened?"
"Gui Ji: Something happened on the Tree God Alliance's side; they suddenly entered a state of Level 1 combat readiness."
The three Lords of Destruction, including Xing Xiao, indeed planned to act against the Tree God Alliance.
However, they had not yet begun their operation, and there was still some time before the plan was to be implemented.
Yet, the Tree God Alliance had suddenly entered a state of Level 1 combat readiness.
It was as if they knew Xing Xiao was going to lead an army to attack them.
The greatest possibility was that someone had leaked the plan.
"Huàn Lóng: What do you mean? Are you suspecting that I leaked the plan?"
"Gui Ji: I'm just confirming. Did you tell anyone else about the plan?"
"Huàn Lóng: Absolutely not. I only told you and Xing Xiao."
Huàn Lóng was not lying.
Even to The Vidya Fellowship, she hadn't revealed a single detail.
She had only told them that she intended to overthrow the Xianzhou Luofu, and that for now, she needed to establish a legitimate identity to infiltrate the Xianzhou and cause trouble.
"Gui Ji: Then that's strange. The Tree God Alliance's actions are too abnormal."
"Huàn Lóng: Could it be that the Diviner used her Celestial Eye to observe a bit of the future and then went to tell Nan Li?"
"Gui Ji: That's not impossible. The Diviner of the Divination Commission and Nan Li do have a good relationship."
"Gui Ji: However, according to news from the Luofu, the Tree God Alliance had already entered a state of Level 1 combat readiness before Fu Xuan met with Nan Li."
"Huàn Lóng: Then do you think it's possible that the Stellaron Hunters were also involved in this matter?"
"Gui Ji: Elio? That [Slave of Destiny]? Hmm... that's the most likely possibility."
"Gui Ji: Xing Xiao, be careful then. @Xing Xiao"
Gui Ji had a very high regard for Xing Xiao's strength.
After all, the latter was Nanook's most frequently dispatched Lord.
"Xing Xiao: The Tree God Alliance being able to enter a state of Level 1 combat readiness early is exactly what I want. Otherwise, if we crush them in battle, it wouldn't be very interesting."
If the Tree God Alliance couldn't put up some resistance, wouldn't deploying Xing Xiao's legion be overkill?
They, the Lords of Destruction, not only loved destruction but also loved destruction that had value.
The Tree God Alliance, huh? Truly something to look forward to.
