âHow can it be our Deputy Chief!â Li Zheng said heatedly, âIt canât possibly be Deputy Chief Yang! Everyone in the Hades Base knows that he has saved our Chiefâs life! Chief treats him better than her own brother! How can he be a mole from the Earth Dragon Base!â
âIt canât be, canât be! Captain is right! How can it be Deputy Chief Yang? Heâs like Chiefâs brother! Heâs nice to Chief Netherworld Fire as well! How can he possibly hurt Chief?â Lin Yu said while shaking his head. He wore the same look as the others.
Looked at their stunned faces, Huang Ming sighed and said, âDid your Deputy Chief Yang tell your Chief that Long Yubai had only allied with the Sky Fire Base to attack your base? In five months? Do you know how many people attacked your base about half a month ago? Apart from the Earth Dragon Base and Sky Fire Base people, Hidden Cloud Base people showed up as well. Including long Yubai, five level-seven powerful beings joined the attack. Apart from all these, Yang Jianhua has also put some drug in Chief Netherworld Fireâs water to suppress her power.â
The five popped their eyes in shock. They didnât dare to believe Huang Mingâs words. However, they clearly understood that as a right-hand man of a Deputy Chief, Huang Ming had no reason to lie to them. It must be his leader who sent him to say these words to them.
As the five remained silent, Huang Ming continued patiently, âI know this is hard for you, and you all donât want to believe it. But, this news has been verified by us. I believe youâll get the message from your people soon. I have two other news for you, one good and one bad. Which one do you like to hear first?â
âThe good one!â
âThe bad news!â
The five spoke out simultaneously, but made different choices.
Li Zheng glanced at the others, making them quiet down immediately. After that, he said to Huang Ming, âTell us the bad news first then. Weâve already known the worst anyway. What can be worse than the destruction of our base?â
Huang Ming nodded and said, âAs I mentioned before, the Earth Dragon Base had sent five level-seven superpowered people to attack your base. So, your Chief was besieged. Under that kind of situation, she failed to control her power well, and burned down a big half of your base. Many people died. After that, she was forced to Wan City by the seaside. She detonated her energy nucleus on a cliff. I heard that two of the five level-seven were injured severely, and one died. But, that information still needs to be verified. Weâve only heard that Netherworld Fire has blown herself up, but no one witnessed it. By now, we and the other bases have all sent out people to look at the spot where she did that.â
After hearing that sad news, Li Zheng and his teammates couldnât say a word.
Their leader was murdered by five level-seven powerful beings, dying in a siege. What did that mean? Did Long Yubai gather all the leaders of the three bases?
Five against oneâŠEven though Chief Netherworld Fire was strong, she couldnât possibly win in such a scenario. Therefore, it was reasonable for her to detonate her energy nucleus and die together with one enemy.
âImpossible! Thatâs impossible! Even if our Chief canât win, sheâd be able to run. Her power is so special and strong. Not even five level-seven can kill her easily! How can she possibly choose to blow herself up? If she died, what would Great Captain and her other family members do?â Lin Yu murmured expressionlessly.
âYouâre right! Chief canât die! She wouldnât leave her family like that!â Li Zhengâs eyes glowed as he said with hope.
âAnd thereâs the good news,â said Huang Ming, âBecause of the efforts your Chief made, her family managed to escape. But now, theyâre still hunted by Yang Jianhua. As far as we know, theyâve entered the Min Province, but we havenât figured out what happened to them next.â
âChiefâs family escaped? But, why would Deputy Chief Yang hunt them? How can he do that?â Li Zheng looked at him and asked.
The five refused to believe that Yang Jianhua was hunting their Chiefâs family, because their Chief and her family treated him like one of their own, and it would be inhumane for him to try hurting them.
âWhether you believe it or not, our information is real,â said Huang Ming, âOur Chief is preparing to send some people to aid Lin Feng and his family. He sent me here to tell you about what happened, and also to ask you if youâd like to go help Lin Feng and his people. After all, theyâre in a bad situation now.â
âWeâll go!â
âWeâll all go!â
âYeah, we must help them!â
âIâll go find out if itâs really Yang Jianhua who did it!â
Once Huang Ming finished talking, the five responded promptly. They didnât want to believe what Huang Ming said, so they needed to see if it was real with their own eyes.
Huang Ming nodded and said, âAlright, weâll leave this afternoon. Iâll be leading the team this time. Our people might be no match for Yang Jianhua, but we can deal with his soldiers. With you, our team will grow stronger.â
Huang Ming had level-five ice power. His power was strong, so Xiao Yunsong sent him to lead tens of elite soldiers to aid Lin Feng and his family.
Li Zheng was also a level-five, so his participation would surely strengthen the team.
âI still donât believe that our Chief is dead. She wonât die. Weâre not only going to pick up Great Captain and his people. Weâre also going to the place where Chief blew herself up and take a look.â said Li Zheng.
âYeah!â the others nodded in agreement.
âWhat happened to our other Deputy Chief?â Feng Yuming asked abruptly.

Huang Ming responded, âDo you mean your Deputy Chief Yuan? He has been missing for nearly a month. No one knows if heâs still alive. But, according to the message weâve got, he went missing before the Earth Dragon Base people attacked, about the same time when you left.â
The others glanced at each other with surprise. âDo you mean Deputy Chief Yuan went missing when we left the base? Why?â Li Zheng asked.
Huang Ming shook his head and replied, âWe donât know. But, since that moment, we havenât heard anything about him. Maybe you can try to figure that out yourself. Or, the truth will naturally come to you if he shows up.â
The others had no choice but to nod in agreement. They guessed that there were still things that they didnât know yet. Otherwise, why would their Deputy Chief disappear for no reason? Normally, he wouldnât let anything happen to Chief even if he needed to give up his own life.
After all, Chief Netherworld Fire was so important to him.
