Chapter 101: A Truly Stunning Face

Chapter 101: Truly a Stunningly Beautiful Face

Shen Yu still wanted to follow Bai Yeye, but Gu Yuankai came to find him: "General! The battle situation is urgent. The eldest prince of Romar has already brought the mermaids to the front lines. You need to head out now!"

Shen Yu clenched his fists and immediately flew back to the base.

Bai Yeye, however, stopped in his tracks and turned back to glance at his hurriedly retreating figure.

Shen Yu also looked back at him. After a brief meeting of eyes, Shen Yu left.

Gu Yuankai was taken aback when he saw Bai Yeye: "Xiao Bai?"

He had never seen Bai Yeye without his mask, but recognized him by his long white hair.

Bai Yeye didn't avoid him either, said in a low voice: "Be careful on the battlefield and take care of yourself. I've got things to do, so I'm off."

"Alright, you take care too." Gu Yuankai was struck by his looks, but he knew this wasn't the time to dwell on it.

Bai Yeye arrived at the spot he'd agreed to meet Wu Shao. Wu Shao had already been waiting there for him for some time.

"Let's go."

"Mm."

Three days later, Shen Yu's fifty thousand elite troops overwhelmed the enemy's three hundred thousand soldiers, without even needing the mermaid clan to intervene.

The other monarchs, who had been itching to join the battle, quickly backed off. With so many unable to win, they'd better not throw their lives away.

On the surface, Shen Yu's side had won, but they couldn't muster any joy.

"To keep fighting like this without pulling back means only one possibility: the monarch has been controlled by Wu Xiu." Long Rui shared his analysis of the enemy.

Shen Yu frowned in silence. Now, what he feared most was Wu Xiu targeting residents of other star systems. With so many people, they certainly couldn't protect everyone.

Shen Cun, seeing that Shen Yu hadn't eased his frown in days, reached out and patted his shoulder: "You've done well to get this far. Don't put too much pressure on yourself."

Shen Yu shook his head: "I don't want to pressure myself, but I also need to ensure the safety of other residents as much as I can."

From the day he put on that uniform, this had been his responsibility.

"Can't we get help from the monarchs of other planets?"

"As long as the war hasn't reached them, they won't lift a finger. They're indifferent to matters that don't concern them."

Let alone helping, they'd better not make things worse.

Long Rui was also frustrated: "Where the hell is that old bastard Wu Xiu hiding!"

Without solving the root cause, this would be a never-ending problem.

Bai Yuanzhou, who had adjusted his mindset, rarely took the initiative to join the conversation: "This can't go on. I'll go to other planets to find him, even if I have to leave no stone unturned."

The group exchanged glances and then nodded.

"Alright, but bring a squad of bodyguards with you. If you find any leads, don't go it alone. Get back right away."

Bai Yuanzhou nodded calmly: "Okay."

Long Rui specifically reminded him: "For his sake, keep yourself safe."

Bai Yuanzhou's hands clenched tightly. "I know."

If it weren't for him, he would have been dead long ago.

Shen Yu and Long Rui both dispatched their most trusted personal guards to accompany Bai Yuanzhou. They were too busy to go with him and could only pray that he wouldn't act impulsively.

"Venerable One! The battle situation is dire. Of the 300,000 troops, 80,000 have been lost, another 120,000 have surrendered to Shen Yu. We... we only have 100,000 soldiers left." Wu Xiu's subordinate tremblingly reported the current situation, his eyes tightly shut, not daring to look at the corpses strewn across the ground.

After he finished speaking, the room fell silent for a long time, causing him to break out in a cold sweat, terrified that Wu Xiu would take his life in the next moment.

Unexpectedly, Wu Xiu was not as furious as he had imagined.

"So what? They're just people. I can have as many as I want." Wu Xiu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and tossed the head in his hand aside.

Nourished by flesh and blood, he had fully recovered over these days and even made a breakthrough.

He discovered that after consuming blood, his mental power would subtly increase. This finding greatly delighted Wu Xiu, who specifically targeted alphas with strong mental power to feed on.

If he kept strengthening himself, when he reached the pinnacle, even Shen Yu would be defeated by him.

It was because of this that he had been in a good mood these past few days.

"Then... should I take my leave?" The subordinate felt lucky to have escaped with his life.

Wu Xiu stopped him: "Wait. Haven't you found Wu Shao's location yet?"

The subordinate hastily knelt again: "I am useless. I am useless."

Wu Xiu squinted and was about to raise his hand to finish him off when someone else burst in.

"Venerable One! Wu Shao has been found! He is being chased by a mermaid. This subordinate has already ordered people to surround them."

A sinister smile spread across Wu Xiu's face. "Take me there."

He knew Wu Shao wasn't dead. His persistence in finding Wu Shao was partly to let his dear senior brother witness his grand ambition to unify the star systems firsthand, and partly because he knew he needed Wu Shao's help.

As long as Wu Shao was willing to team up with him, his plan could be realized even faster.

When Wu Xiu arrived at the scene, Bai Yeye's halberd was about to pierce Wu Shao's throat, but Wu Xiu intercepted it.

Wu Xiu looked at Bai Yeye with venomous eyes. "It's you."

He remembered Bai Yeye from seeing him take action in the cave back then. At that time, he felt that Bai Yeye was also very suitable as a source.

The moment Bai Yeye saw him, he couldn't control his anger, striking his vital points with every move.

Wu Shao spat out a mouthful of blood and stood up, attempting to ambush Wu Xiu from behind.

Wu Xiu had anticipated this and ordered his men to deal with Bai Yeye while he handled Wu Shao with ease.

"Senior brother, is this how you treat your benefactor?"

Wu Shao's eyes were bloodshot as he glared at him. "If it weren't for you, Ruo Shui wouldn't have gotten into trouble!"

Hearing his bitter, tearful accusation, Wu Xiu laughed even more wildly, each word like a dagger to the heart: "I also have to thank senior brother for his cooperation. If you hadn't brought me out, Bai Ruoshui wouldn't have fallen into my trap."

"I'll kill you!"

"You probably don't have that strength now." Wu Xiu's mental power had long since surpassed Wu Shao's. Within a few moves, he subdued him and promptly broke his leg.

Wu Shao lay facedown on the ground, still refusing to give up as he tried to climb back up.

Wu Xiu watched his wretched state with satisfaction, clapped his hands, and had his subordinates drag him back.

After dealing with Wu Shao, he turned his gaze to Bai Yeye, who was still fighting with all his might.

Over the past few days, he had also sent people to test Bai Ningxin, but before they could even touch her, they all died at Long Shen's hands. He had been worrying over how to capture Bai Ningxin, yet heaven had delivered an even stronger omega to him. It was a classic case of searching high and low, only to have the prize land right in his lap.

Given Bai Yeye's abilities, capturing him was indeed quite difficult. Wu Xiu was in no hurry; he kept dispatching more poisoned men to gradually wear down Bai Yeye's stamina.

Bai Yeye held out for an entire day and night before finally collapsing under the attacks of the poisoned men.

Wu Xiu personally stepped forward with dark iron to bind him. Grabbing his beautiful long hair, he said, "Truly a breathtaking face
