Chapter 492 The Reappearing Starlight Array

Chapter 492 The Reappearing Starlight Array

The main force of the squad was fighting fiercely; to be honest, this scene was no different from a cash truck overturning and people publicly scrambling for cash.

Perhaps the only difference was that robbing a cash truck is illegal, but this is not!

Everyone’s eyes were bloodshot from killing, their mouths curved into eerie grins as they chuckled eerily, each with an obsession so extreme it was downright appalling.

Shen Que, "Do you think this was within the alliance’s expectations?"

Wu Yue shook her head, "SSS-level Moonfall Ore has never appeared before, so clearly it wasn’t within the alliance’s expectations. As a result, the alliance will have to activate emergency measures for the subsequent reactions."

Shen Que, "Should I go stop them a bit?"

Wu Yue pondered, "No need. Since Moonfall Ore has appeared, competition is unavoidable. Blocking it is worse than deterring; let them fight for it.

The more fiercely they fight, the more envious those watching will become, and it will lure out all those with ill intentions."

Shen Que kicked away a monster that slipped through, pulling Wu Yue closer behind him, "Then you must stay close to me, baby."

Wu Yue looked left and right, noticing no one around was watching them, and tugged at Shen Que’s clothes from behind.

Just as Shen Que turned around in confusion, she suddenly leaned into his embrace, wrapping her arms around his waist and flirting playfully.

Shen Que, who had been dazed a second ago, instantly understood. He looked down at Wu Yue’s fluffy hair crown, feeling waves of sweetness in his heart.

Swatting away Shen Que’s wandering hands, Wu Yue whispered, "You said it yourself—you’d definitely hold back and not move."

Shen Que tried to raise his hand again stealthily, only to have it swatted away once more. The corners of his mouth uncontrollably lifted, and his entire expression softened into a smile.

As the monsters on the second underground level were completely cleared out, approximately 80,000 SSS-level Moonfall Ore were obtained in total. Each slot for SSS-level ore consumes almost ten times less than SS-level ore.

80,000 SSS-level Moonfall Ore could instantly craft 8 SSS+ Purple Gold Weapons.

Just as everyone was about to start crafting weapons, the military enforcement squad suddenly appeared. Shen Que immediately became alert and retreated with Wu Yue to the center of the main force.

Looking at Qing Xuan in the lead, Shen Que narrowed his eyes dangerously, "What’s the meaning of this?"

"What’s the meaning? You already have rewards for the friendly match—why should all the rewards from these monsters go to you too!"

"That’s right, the military is here to confiscate the SSS-level Moonfall Ore you obtained!"

"Hand over all the Moonfall Ore you’ve collected, or else you’ll be charged with defying military orders!"

The expressions of everyone in the squad instantly darkened.

The military personnel continued to taunt, "I think you people just can’t get enough of taking advantage! You already have weapons, and now you even want to monopolize the ore?!"

"Hmph, just look at the kind of team led by someone like Prince Noah—a pretty boy who relies on his looks. What kind of principled subordinates could he possibly have?"

"Miss Wu Yue, why not consider me instead? With your conditions, couldn’t you share some favors with us too? Aren’t you women nowadays all about independence and liberation, shouting things like—

Yeah, 'my sister can date eight people at once, but she can’t date one person eight times.'

So why not take all of us? We’ll definitely serve you as well as Prince Noah and make you happy."

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The scene fell silent instantly. Before Shen Que could even throw his trident, Jiang Yuhua’s three bullets had already headshot the three who had been incessantly shouting.

"Clap, clap, clap," Jian Suiyu applauded, "Babe, your aim is so precise, well done."

Shen Que, "..." He hated advanced technology!! He wanted to personally get payback for his wife!!

Just as Shen Que was about to charge, Wu Yue pressed down on his hand, signaling him not to rush.

No one expected Jiang Yuhua to be so ruthless, instantly blowing people's heads off without a word. The newcomers immediately bristled with lethal intent, all drawing their weapons.

"Young Marshal, just say the word and we'll fight them to the death today!!"

"Young Marshal, it's absolutely disrespectful as hell that they attacked people right in front of you like this!!"

"Young Marshal!!"

Charles and Li Yiran exchanged glances, then cautiously moved to the center between the two groups.

Li Yiran said, "Major General Qing Xuan, there might be some misunderstanding here."

Charles added, "Yes, yes, it's all a misunderstanding."

"The Jiang family's eldest lady just killed three of our people—what misunderstanding could there possibly be?!"

"Exactly! We were just mouthing off a bit, but the Jiang family is so high and mighty that they can't take a single joke."

"We're coarse folks, our words might be crude, but I'm just being honest and call it like I see it. Though the words are rough, the meaning isn't wrong—Miss Wu Yue..."

This time, Shen Que absolutely wouldn’t give Jiang Yuhua the chance to steal his spotlight. Hearing Wu Yue’s name, he immediately threw his trident, impaling the man’s head straight through, brains spilling everywhere, and nearly skewering the guy standing behind him as well.

Jiang Yuhua gritted her teeth, had no choice but to kill the two who had spoken earlier.

In just moments, six people had already been killed...

Charles silently moved to stand beside Qing Xuan, ready to take sides at any moment, while Li Yiran looked utterly dismayed, as if already envisioning himself unemployed and hitting the job market.

The atmosphere grew even more eerily silent.

With Qing Xuan still not giving the order to fight, the enforcement team members also found it hard to speak up.

What a joke—say one wrong word and you’re dead!!

What’s wrong with Young Marshal? How can he have no backbone at all!!

"Young Marshal, say something!!"

"Young Marshal, so many of our brothers have been killed for no reason—how can you remain indifferent?!"

"Young Marshal, you’ve truly let your brothers down!!"

"Young Marshal, we’ve risked our lives following you—even if we haven’t achieved great merits, we’ve put in hard work. How can you let six people die just like that without seeking justice for them?!"

Qing Xuan seemed as if he had been suddenly struck mute; no matter what anyone said, he refused to speak.

The two sides gradually formed a bizarre and somewhat ridiculous standoff: our side remained completely silent, coldly killing anyone who spoke out, while the enforcement team kept hurling verbal attacks but, too afraid to target Wu Yue, gradually turned all their accusations toward Qing Xuan.

Until,

"Young Marshal! I see you have no backbone at all—you’re not even as good as that pretty boy Prince Noah."

"Bang!"

The entire enforcement team stared at Qing Xuan in disbelief. What the hell?! Young Marshal, do you have a screw loose?!

You won't order an attack on the enemy, but you're sure quick to attack your own people!!

"Young Marshal, you've always been someone who can handle pressure well—have you been possessed today?"

"Young Marshal! This is too much, I've lost all respect for you!!"

What the—"Bang! Bang!"

Watching Qing Xuan kill two more, the enforcement team’s expressions turned completely lost.

This beheading-filled, one-man show of stirring up drama—no one knew how to keep it going.

Qing Xuan turned to face the enforcement team. "Keep talking, don't stop."

The enforcement team, "..."

Did he think they were idiots?! Speak up and get killed?!

Qing Xuan sneered, "I thought the other side had promised you some huge promise. Didn't expect you'd be held up by something as small as a couple of deaths?"

The enforcement team’s expressions gradually grew dark and dangerous. Just as Qing Xuan was about to order the support troops outside to round them all up—

These men suddenly flashed eerie, sinister grins.

Sensing something was wrong, Shen Que immediately pulled Wu Yue protectively close, ready to leave the second underground level.

But then, all hell broke loose.

Beneath their feet, a strange starlight array suddenly lit up.

This starlight array was exactly the same as the one from the deification plan at the engagement banquet.

In Wu Yue’s current physical state, once the starlight array activated, she would likely be instantly killed by the surge of evil energy.
