93: Chapter 93 Forming a group? Then let's go guerrilla warfare!

In a massive tomb beneath an unremarkable cemetery in Anping County, a faint light dispersed the underground darkness.

In the main tomb, a gaunt-looking man was gazing with an incredibly tender look at a crystal coffin crafted from three complete Divine Artifacts of Life.

Inside the coffin, a young and beautiful woman lay sleeping with a serene expression on her face.

Below the tomb platform, dozens of people were currently bound and kneeling in a crowd. Among them, some looked despairing, while others had numb expressions.

Many others were shouting curses.

"Elder Wang Wu, have you lost your mind? Back then, it was because of you that our Wang Family fell from a prominent clan to the bottom-tier Family we are today!"

"And even now, you still can't let go of this woman? Did cultivating the Law of Death rot your brain?! Even if you do succeed in your ascension, so what?"

"The Federation will issue a warrant for your arrest, and you will still be unable to escape death! While there is still time before things become completely irreversible..."

"...it's not too late to turn back. With your current talent and strength, combined with the Wang Family's connections built over so many years, we can definitely find a safer and more legitimate way for you to ascend. Don't ruin yourself!"

"Indeed, Elder Wu. With your strength, as long as you are willing to return to the Family, the position of Family Head will be yours. Why must you do such a thing?"

The gaunt man, addressed as Elder Wang Wu, only gazed gently at the woman in the coffin. His voice was also extremely soft, as if he was afraid of waking her.

"Sister Xu, please wait a little longer. Xiao Wu will be able to wake you up very soon. You must be tired of sleeping for so long, right? Soon. Everything will be fine soon..."

Hearing Elder Wang Wu's words, several members of the Wang Family below, whose faces were already pale, turned even paler.

"Madman! You absolute lunatic! Are you ascending to a Intermediate God just to resurrect a woman?! To reverse life and death using the Law of Death, do you have any idea what kind of price you must pay?!"

The man's loud voice made Elder Wang Wu frown. Without any visible movement from him, the face of the man who had just been speaking loudly instantly turned ashen.

Wrinkles rapidly crawled across his face, and his once jet-black hair began to turn white in large patches. His skin also started to sag, and in just a few breaths...

...this Second-order Deity died silently right where he stood.

Seeing this, the members of the Wang Family below fell silent one after another.

Only then did Elder Wang Wu's voice softly ring out.

"I captured you all only to have you apologize to Sister Xu in person. Since Sister Xu has already seen you, it is time for you to go on your way..."

Following Elder Wang Wu's words, the bodies of the crowd also began to undergo rapid and drastic changes.

"No! What happened in the past has nothing to do with me!"

"Everything back then was done by Wang Cheng! If you want revenge, you should go look for him!"

"I worked so hard to finally ascend to the second order! Why?! Why?!"

"Elder Wang Wu, you bringer of ruin! I will be waiting for you in the depths of the Nine Underworlds!"

Looking at the Wang Family members below who had aged and died in an instant, Elder Wang Wu's face was filled with tenderness.

"Waiting for me in the Nine Underworlds? Sadly, both you and I are destined to never have the chance to enter those Nine Underworlds..."

Gazing blankly at Sister Xu in the coffin, Elder Wang Wu's face was full of doting affection.

"I will leave the Xu Family members to you, Sister. Whether you choose to forgive them or seek revenge, Xiao Wu will always stand by your side..."

Just as Elder Wang Wu was lost in thought looking at his beloved, the reports of his undead subordinates echoed in his mind.

"Reporting to Milord, over eighty of our second-order companions have recently vanished. The other party left no clues behind, and we still do not know who the enemy is."

"Due to the reduction in our numbers, suppressing those major factions has also begun to become difficult. What should we do next...?"

Hearing this, Elder Wang Wu's brow slowly furrowed.

"Haven't we already surrounded all the factions in Anping County? Where on earth did this enemy spring from?"

"And why are you only telling me this now? Eighty second-order subordinates! Don't tell me the opponent is third-order?"

"Please appease your anger, Milord. We also came to report immediately after realizing something was wrong. As for the enemy... we are still investigating."

"A bunch of useless trash! To have so many of our people killed and not even know anything about the enemy. Since they only dare to act in the shadows, they must have some misgivings."

"As long as they still dare to act, some clues will eventually turn up. With such an unstable factor around, you all had better speed up your actions."

"It's been so many days, and you haven't even taken down a single major faction. I think you all want to return to the Void. Don't forget who pulled you back from eternal death!"

"We are incompetent, please forgive us, Milord. We will increase our offensive immediately and strive to take down several more major factions."

On Lin Xiao's end, Jiang Meng and Guan Hong were pushing their Laws to the point of overloading, yet they still failed to find another suitable target.

Guan Hong looked at Lin Xiao with a bitter smile.

"Milord, we seem to have harvested a bit too aggressively these past few days. We can't even find any Second-order Deities in groups of three anymore. Do you think we should switch our targets back?"

Lin Xiao tried his best to control his gaze and not look around randomly. The previous plan had been highly successful; he now knew who the mole in the team was.

Furthermore, he had unexpectedly discovered that the item called 'Leaf Blindness' could help him overcome falsehood. The other party had somehow realized that he seemed to have sensed something.

The Law of Falsehood had been used on him over a dozen times, but it had all been blocked by the 'Leaf Blindness' leaves inside his Divine Realm.

Because of this, most of the vibrant green on one of the leaves had turned withered and yellow. A few more times, and it would likely become completely useless.

Now, his relationship with Elder Yang was somewhat delicate. The other party knew that Lin Xiao had exposed him, and Lin Xiao knew that the other party knew he had been exposed.

Yet, both he and Elder Yang tacitly chose not to break the silence.

Smiling and nodding at Guan Hong, Lin Xiao replied in his mind.

"Doesn't the current situation prove that our plan worked? Those Second-order Deities no longer dare to wander off alone."

"Isn't this good news for the outside world? As for switching back as you suggested, I think we can try checking near those prominent clans."

"After fighting for so many days, both sides have probably consumed a lot of resources. If we sneak over to launch surprise attacks and harass them now, how do you think they will react?"

"We just need to remember the sixteen-character mantra: 'When the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy camps, we harass; when the enemy tires, we attack; when the enemy retreats, we pursue!'"

Hearing this, everyone's expressions turned peculiar. Putting themselves in the shoes of the undead currently besieging the prominent clans...

...having besieged them for so many days and depleted much of the clans' reserves, with victory right in sight, a group of uninvited guests suddenly crashes the party.

They can't beat your side in a straight fight, yet they keep annoyingly harassing you. If you chase them, they run; if you ignore them, they sneak in a few more hits.

This would simply be too agonizing.

"Milord, won't this... literally drive the enemy mad and make them lose their minds? If they all swarm us at once, we'll be in deep trouble."
