Chapter 4158: Unexpected Outcome
Of course, none dared to question his power. Thus, the scene became silent as he disembarked.
The eighteen islands had plenty of experts and villains. Alas, they all obeyed Dark Gale Camp regardless of their violent nature. This was double when it came to someone like Nightloom. Even the oldest bandits could only be considered his juniors.
âGreetings, Ancestor and Camp Lord. Please excuse us for the lack of reception.â One island lord came over and bowed towards Cloud Dream King, no longer worrying about the siege.
âWhy the escalation?â Cloud Dream King frowned.
The island lord immediately responded: âCamp Lord, itâs because the enemy forced our hands, daring to take over Black Dragon Island and massacring our men. Please avenge our fallen brothers.â
âAncestor, Camp Lord, please avenge our fallen brothers!â The other island lords and bandits shouted.
They knew that they wouldnât be able to take down the island themselves. The situation was rather unfavorable so they needed Dark Galeâs involvement.
Dark Gale was their leader for a reason; its power was considerable. Moreover, Nightloom has made a rare appearance as well. Victory would be theirs for sure with his involvement. Then, all of Li Qiyeâs wealth would belong to them.
They assumed that this was Nightloomâs purpose for being here.
âIs Nightloom going to join?â A neutral expert asked.
âYes, and itâll be amazing.â One ancestor became emotional since a true top master was present.
âThat would make it the end for Li Qiye.â His friend speculated and became eager for the next development.
To see Nightloom in person was a priceless experience for their cultivation path. Moreover, some were annoyed at Li Qiyeâs pompous attitude as well.
âDecapitate the enemy and drink their blood! Show no mercy towards Li Qiye! Let the world tremble before our might!â One bandit started shouting.
âDecapitate the enemy and drink their blood! Show no mercy towards Li Qiyeâ¦â This prompted the rest to shout as well.
They glared at Li Qiye; each gaze was as sharp as a sword. If gazes could kill, Li Qiye would be dead a million times by now.
However, he only smiled, seemingly taunting them.
He and Nightloom became the main stars of this event. Everyone thought that a battle was inevitable because Li Qiye had challenged Dark Galeâs authority.
Cloud Dream King didnât respond and waited for his ancestorâs order.
Nightgloom didnât bother to look at the shouting bandits. He calmly spoke: âEnough shouting. Kill whoever wants to cause more trouble.â
The shouting stopped right away. Everyone heard him clearly despite the low volume. The bandits, in particular, were completely shocked.
They thought that the strongest reinforcement was here; this no longer seemed to be the case. They initially thought that a new offense would launch and they would be able to kill Li Qiye.
A single command killed this dream. Nightloom sounded as if he didnât wish to help them.
With that, Nightloom tidied up his robe and walked to Li Qiyeâs front. He bowed deeply and said: âIt is an honor to have you here in Cloud Dream Lake, I apologize for ruining your mood.â
Jaws dropped to the ground as a result. People couldnât close their mouth.
âYou didnât know, itâs fine.â Li Qiye waved his hand.
âThe night is chilly here, please come to my humble abodeâ¦â Nightloom heaved a sigh of relief and invited.
âGo.â Li Qiye agreed right away.
âPrepare the carriage, weâre returning.â Nightloom didnât waste time at all.
âRumble!â The cavalry rode the waves again before astonished eyes. Li Qiye joined Nightloom on his chariot.
All of this happened too quickly and caught everyone off guard. Dark Gale Camp came thunderously and left just as fast. Most importantly, they werenât here to help the other bandits, only to greet Li Qiye.
âWhat the hell is going on? Whatâs his relationship with Dark Gale?â Most scratched their head, looking like confused monks trying to find hair.
Just a moment ago, Li Qiyeâs legion had a bloody battle against the bandits. Now, he became an esteemed guest?
âMaybe heâs from Dark Gale?â Someone boldly speculated.
âWell, we donât know where heâs from so thatâs a possibility.â One expert said.
There was no reasonable explanation for the development just now.
âEven if heâs from Dark Gale, he should only be an important disciple or successor at best. That doesnât explain Nightloomâs attitude.â A last-gen cultivator said.
âI donât think he is related to Dark Gale. Donât forget, heâs the richest man in the world while Dark Gale is in charge of the bandits. If they become an alliance, theyâll have both manpower and resources.â One ancestor mused.
âYouâre saying that Dark Gale wants to team up with Li Qiye for a more ambitious goal?â His friend responded.
