Chapter 1434 - 643: The Beginning of Hope

Putting aside those two with their strange attitude, Xu Qingqi and Qiu Xiaoping really do visibly care about him.

This made Fang Yu feel a slight warmth in his heart.

Although Xu Qingqi, the big sister, is a bit too familiar, her feelings are genuine, not superficial.

As for Qiu Xiaoping, there’s no need to say much; Fang Yu was personally invited by her to join the Rebel Army, otherwise none of the subsequent events would have happened.

Looking at the crowd, Fang Yu merely smiled slightly.

"Song Zhenrong is merely a captain of Foolish Underworld, what intelligence could someone of that rank provide? I hope everyone doesn’t make things difficult for him."

"That’s not correct!"

As soon as Fang Yu finished speaking, the old friend You Shouliang chimed in with a strange attitude: "If even the captain of Foolish Underworld can’t provide intelligence, then doesn’t that mean only someone like a Hall Master is worthy of Minister Diao’s attention? If that’s the case, does Minister Diao intend to catch a Hall Master from the Foolish Underworld for our Rebel Army?"

Nian Jiachen also sneered: "Really? It seems we’ve misunderstood Minister Diao; Minister Diao cares about the Rebel Army so much that a mere captain from Foolish Underworld wouldn’t catch his eye."

Faced with such a confrontation, Xu Qingqi couldn’t bear it any longer.

"What’s going on here? My father ordered the plan to be stopped; now that the Master of Foolish Earth Mansion is dead, it’s the weakest time for Foolish Underworld. Instead of uniting to crush Foolish Underworld, we’re still fighting among ourselves? Do you have a problem with my Brother Diao? Come at me! I want to see what skills you two have that make you so arrogant!"

After Xu Qingqi’s outburst, the two instantly behaved better, although from their attitude, it was clear they were still discontented, just ignoring Fang Yu.

Fang Yu found it strange too; it was the President’s order to eliminate him. Now the order is revoked, why are they still targeting him? Although he didn’t follow orders and killed a few more demons, he did manage to kill a Hall Master from Foolish Underworld; the merits and faults cancel out, and he’s done something for the Rebel Army.

"Alright, alright, let’s stop arguing. We don’t know what’s going on with the army outside the city, and with the death of the Master of Foolish Earth Mansion, we have no idea how the Ten Major Families will react. Now more than ever, we need to be united and overcome this crisis!" Qiu Xiaoping came out to mediate, giving everyone a way out.

With that said, Fang Yu frowned and asked.

"What do the President and Vice Commander think about this matter now?"

Fang Yu wanted to leave Thunder City, but the Ten Major Families and Foolish Underworld might not let him go, so he had to see the direction of the Rebel Army to find a suitable time to escape.

Upon hearing this, Qiu Xiaoping exchanged glances with the others and said in a low voice.

"The two lords’ intention is... to recruit the remaining forces of Foolish Underworld and bring them over to our side to strengthen the Rebel Army."

Fang Yu felt a darkness in front of his eyes.

This Foolish Underworld is the dog raised by the Ten Major Families; even if the Master is dead, it doesn’t affect the others from continuing to work for the Ten Major Families, how could they join the Rebel Army?

He truly couldn’t understand what the two commanders were thinking.

"How does the Rebel Army plan to deal with the approaching army outside the city?"

Qiu Xiaoping responded directly: "No action."

"No action?"

Are they not afraid of the army rushing into the city causing chaos? You are the people’s representatives. If you lose public support, it’s over.

Qiu Xiaoping explained: "Thunder City remains the Thunder City of the Ten Major Families. In times of crisis, the most anxious would be the Ten Major Families. Their actions will be used as reference to determine our next steps."

That truly is... no action then.

However, since the Rebel Army learned of the approaching army, they’ve been urgently gathering forces and restricting activity, clearly preparing for possible battle at any moment.

After somewhat understanding the Rebel Army’s thoughts and movements, Fang Yu spoke seriously: "Lord Qiu, I want to help a friend exit the city, do you have any way to arrange this?"

Qiu Xiaoping frowned.

"At this critical moment, wanting to exit the city is not easy."

"How so?"

Qiu Xiaoping replied with a question: "How much does Young Master Diao know about the Thunder Cloud generated by the Tongtian Ten Pillars?"

"...Not much."

"That Thunder Cloud is both a means of city protection and a symbol of the city’s quarantine."

Fang Yu was startled.

"You’re saying..."

"Currently, none of us might be able to leave the city; as the opposing force to the Ten Major Families, the Thunder Cloud might launch indiscriminate attacks against us."

Fang Yu frowned: "I was just outside, that Thunder Cloud could not..."

Qiu Xiaoping smiled slightly: "Thunder City is so large, even if the Thunder Cloud covers the entire city, it can’t be omniscient. At most, it only monitors a part of the area, primarily the fringe areas, meaning whether anyone is approaching the city gates and walls, attempting to flee Thunder City."

Even so... does the Thunder Cloud have automatic recognition? Can it identify my Rebel Army identity while carrying out precise strikes? What kind of artificial intelligence is this?

Perhaps noticing Fang Yu’s confusion, Qiu Xiaoping slowly explained.

"Naturally, the Thunder Cloud cannot know our identities, but it can sense our power and even kill anyone attempting to approach or flee Thunder City."

"Determining the state of the Thunder Cloud or the attitude of the Ten Major Families toward internal and external affairs requires sacrifices to assess."

"Then we can discuss whether or not, and who, might have the opportunity to escape Thunder City at this critical moment."
