Chapter 498: Fabricating A Charge

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

This was probably a first in history where millions of soldiers entered the city as thieves.

In older generations, old armies were usually associated with looting, burning, and killing. They were never related to “stealing”…

That being said, everything that was happening could not slip past a person’s eyes!

It was the Eastern Pharos who was mysterious in his whereabouts.

As for Cang Lang, the highest commander of the million-strong army, it was currently standing on a hill as it watched over the big city where the thievery was going on.

Not only did it not feel ashamed, it even said to its followers proudly, “The little ones are really going all out, I believe they’ll be able to sweep this city clean within three days’ time. I’m certain that Vigilante A won’t be able to withstand pressure from the human public, he doesn’t have formidable powers, he can’t handle my million-demon army. If he wants to bring this loot to a halt, he must go deep underground to execute the Beheading Tactic.”

As soon as it finished, an attentive wolf guard beside looked up abruptly and announced frantically, “Executive, this is bad, look, there’s a group of dragons in the sky!”

“Nonsense! There’s only one True Dragon on Earth now which is Vigilante A, true dragons from the upper realm fear death, they won’t descend so soon!”

Even though Cang Lang replied that way, it still subconsciously looked towards that direction.

Undeniably, there was a group of dragons!

With a green dragon leading the group, a blue dragon, a red dragon, and a purple dragon flew together on its left, right, and back respectively.

The wolf guard was truly responsible for faithfulness, this made Cang Lang speechless.

It waved its hand hard as it made a fierce remark, “Granted that Vigilante A sends helpers, he won’t be able to attend to my million-demon army. Even if it’s a million pigs, he’ll have to take three days to catch them all, let alone my million-demon army!”

Right after he commented, he was struck dumb as he watched the four dragons sweeping swiftly towards his million-demon army, looking like aggressive dogs preying on food.

“Our rucksacks are gone?!” Bewildered, little demons yelled one after another when they realized that their rucksacks vanished.

They had stuffed all the stolen books, antiques, and pieces of jewelry in their sacks, but could not transport them back in time.

As for now, they could never transport them back anymore.

This was because the moment they shrieked, they themselves disappeared too…

“Damn it, I only know that Vigilante A uses coercive measures on villains, now he’s not letting go of my demon armies too!” Cang Lang expressed in a flustered manner.

Due to the efficient work from the four dragons, his perfect plan was melting into thin air at the speed of light!

His million army was just like millions of ants to them, such that they just swept them clean conveniently…

On the other hand, Nie Yuan’s eyes glowed as he watched. He repeated this in his head, ‘This is how a real man should be like! This is how a real man should be like!’

Presently, he was somehow deeply moved, he had no idea that the same words were once mentioned by those who had witnessed Vigilante A’s prestige.

His heart instantly burned with thriving wild ambitions, the previous technique from the Scripture of Great Wisdom replayed in his mind.

‘I must elevate my powers as soon as possible, I can’t lag behind anymore.’

When he thought so, he feigned a look and told Cang Lang, “This isn’t good, Senior Cang Lang, master is summoning me, I’ll have to leave for a while.”

“Mmm, you may go first.” Cang Lang was unbothered, it was racking its brain for its next move.

Now that Vigilante A unexpectedly employed his astounding powers, its million-demon army was entirely cast out.

As the military affairs executive member, it must take responsibility for the failure of this military action.

It needed to think of a solution or its reputation would decline critically.

In order to send out this army, it made a solemn promise that Vigilante A would be powerless against this. It also suggested that they could utilize the opportunity of humans’ migration to reap profits, whereby the local demons could enhance their core and foundation at the double.

Should they miss this chance, they would have to waste a lot more time to integrate to the human’s culture.

Humans could never become wealthy without extra earnings, just like how horses could not get fat without grass at night.

For the purpose of convincing the demon upper management, it even spoke about human history.

Referring to the early history that made those developed western countries prosper, did they not achieve that through abduction and theft?

The alleged age of discovery was but a history of heists, where a group of supposedly civilized humans snatched and stole from barbarians.

If local demons wished to progress rapidly, they only had to steal from one target, which was the humans.

Only by doing so, they could quickly complete the accumulation of resources and the introduction of skills.

For someone like Elder Ancestor Bai, he would at least need to spend decades if he were to catch up. Nonetheless, while there were little repercussions, it was hardly an effective method.

It claimed that this plot was one that could kill two birds with one stone, by which it could get rid of its eyesore and could lay a foundation of speedy evolution for the Demon Alliance.

However, Vigilante A’s performance exceeded its expectations once again, it must puzzle over this to find a solution.

“I got it, hmph, isn’t this better?” All of a sudden, Cang Lang became excited.

It stood up and glanced coldly at the four dragons that were cleaning up the demon army. The four of them were perfect for a mahjong game, they were wiping out the scene from north, south, east, and west.

“Let’s go.”

“Where to, master.”

“Back to the Demon Alliance, we have a traitor among us!”

…

The underground Greater Rat Kingdom.

Somebody was kneeling in front of Elder Ancestor Bai’s house.

He was naked to the waist, wrapped in a bundle of thistles and thorns, bloodstains could be seen on his fair skin.

“Elder ancestor won’t see you, please leave.” The guard uttered coldly.

“I know that I’ve committed a serious sin, I’m not asking for his forgiveness. I’m here to report something important, it’s related to the elder ancestor’s safety, please pass the message for me, brother.” Nie Yuan lowered his head as he replied with jealousy in his eyes.

“Is that so? I’ll go pass the message then.” The guard took his words with a pinch of salt, but due to its loyalty towards the elder ancestor, it decided to tolerate his despicable attitude and went to deliver the message.

“Thank you, brother.”

Not long after, Elder Ancestor Bai paced out slowly to the entrance and looked at Nie Yuan, covered in thorns.

“Sigh, why are you doing this… Since you’ve made your choice, why did you turn back? Leave, I already know what you’re going to say. Cang Lang is so full of itself, but it is clueless that I’m watching everything.” Elder Ancestor Bai conveyed.

“Elder ancestor, my heart was clouded for a moment, but through it all, I’ve never done anything to harm the Greater Rat Clan. This time, I heard that Cang Lang is planning to harm you, though I say that I’m here to make amends, my true intent is to repay you for educating me.” Nie Yuan responded with a strong feeling while his eyes were almost filled with tears.

“If you really did things that endangered my clan, do you think you’ll be able to roam around so freely all this while?” Elder Ancestor laid out. “Alright, I get it already, get up now.”

Nie Yuan stood up then asked softly, “Elder ancestor, do you know how Cang Lang is going to do harm to you?”

“Hmph, it must be the old trick of fabricating a charge against me. When I started practicing those tricks, it wasn’t even born in the upper realm yet.” Elder Ancestor Bai was indifferent.

Just as expected, not long after, a greater rat demon guard ran hastily towards them from the streets.

When it saw Elder Ancestor Bai, it went down on one knee and blurted out, “Elder ancestor, this is bad, Executive Cang Lang just called for an emergency meeting. It accused you of colluding with Vigilante A and that you’ve sent his million-demon army to die.”

“Haha, what a joke, it actually came up with such a reason?!” Elder Ancestor Bai put on a strange smile on his face, he pretended to seem helpless.

“Executive Cang Lang said that you’ve sent your son to Vigilante A as a pledge, so you must’ve made a Heavenly Oath that when it’s time, you’ll coordinate with him to turn every one from the demon clan into humans’ slaves. Now, his million-demon army is destroyed so quickly because you gave Vigilante A the information in advance.” The demon guard explained anxiously.

“Hah, it is not that dumb after all, it even came up with this information to use against me. Let’s go, we’ll go take a look.” Elder Ancestor Bai said unhurriedly.

After this short elder replied, he folded his hands behind him and walked towards Demon Alliance Headquarter.

A group of demons quickly followed after, including Nie Yuan who just stood up.
