142: Overlord Project: Talent Upgraded Again
The Leng Clan!
Leng Wuyou?
Overlord Invincible suddenly thought of something and shot up from his chair.
Leng Wuyou was the one who bought the guild establishment token for him.
Overlord Invincible remembered now.
Fengyun Club seemed to have always been in close contact with the White Emperor. This included the current Farming Spot; after the White Emperor obtained it, it was now being occupied by Fengyun Club.
"Wait, that's not right!"
Overlord Invincible pondered. Ba Tian Group and Leng Clan Group were separated by over a thousand kilometers—one in the Magic City and the other in Jiangzhou. Furthermore, they weren't in the same industry. There was no reason for the Leng Clan Group to target him.
If this was Leng Wuyou's personal action, then it would make sense.
But why would Leng Wuyou target him?
In the Land of the Final End, Overlord Guild and Fengyun Club had always minded their own business. It didn't make sense.
"White Emperor!"
Overlord Invincible narrowed his eyes. He suspected the White Emperor was behind all of this.
But who exactly was this White Emperor?
Someone from the Leng Clan Group?
Or perhaps not, but rather someone who could manipulate the Leng Clan Group?
If that was the case, the White Emperor's power was too terrifying.
Impossible. The White Emperor didn't have that kind of power. If he were truly such a terrifying existence, he couldn't be obscure and nameless; he would definitely have revealed the forces behind him.
From the looks of it, the White Emperor was likely an expert cultivated by the Leng Clan Group.
Overlord Invincible paced back and forth, his mind racing with thoughts.
Beside him, Tyrant Fire stood with his hands down, knowing Overlord Invincible was thinking of a strategy and not daring to interrupt.
"Leng Wuyou, White Emperor..."
Overlord Invincible muttered coldly. Previously, if Leng Wuyou wanted to deal with him, Overlord Invincible wouldn't have been afraid.
Because Leng Wuyou couldn't represent the Leng Clan Group; at most, he was just one of the heirs.
But today was different from the past. Ba Tian Group had suffered one major blow after another. Perhaps Leng Wuyou's personal methods alone could collapse Ba Tian Group.
After all, it was impossible for the heir of a hundred-billion-dollar conglomerate to have no influence at all.
He had to endure and show weakness to the enemy.
Or, he could try to curry favor with Leng Wuyou.
"Overlord Divine Bow."
Overlord Invincible had an idea.
The reason Overlord Guild came into conflict with the White Emperor was all because of that bastard Overlord Divine Bow, who stole the White Emperor's boss.
What was even more excessive was that Overlord Divine Bow, that ungrateful fellow, had actually left the guild.
"Since that's the case, then you shall be the gift I present to the White Emperor!"
In Overlord Invincible's current line of thinking, the White Emperor was part of the Leng Clan Group, and the fuse for everything was Overlord Divine Bow.
Overlord Invincible revealed a dark smile, turned to Tyrant Fire, and ordered, "Go, call Divine Light here for me."
"Yes."
Tyrant Fire was dissatisfied. He and Overlord Invincible were the closest, yet Overlord Invincible relied on an outsider.
"Young Lord, you were looking for me?"
Before long, Overlord Divine Light rushed over.
Overlord Invincible nodded, pointed to the chair in front of him, and asked, "Has Overlord Divine Bow contacted you?"
Overlord Divine Light was puzzled, not knowing why the Young Lord suddenly mentioned Divine Bow. He shook his head and said, "No. However, he has a good relationship with Man Niu. Young Lord, if you can't bear it, I can try to persuade Divine Bow to come back."
Overlord Divine Bow was also a veteran of the guild, and the few of them had a decent relationship.
"No need."
Overlord Invincible coldly interrupted Overlord Divine Light and continued, "Issue a guild kill order for Overlord Divine Bow. Also, give me his real-world information."
"What?"
Overlord Divine Light's heart trembled. He looked at Overlord Invincible in horror and couldn't help but say, "Young Lord, isn't this a bit much? It's frustrating that Divine Bow left, but we've known each other for a long time. There's no need to drive him to a dead end, is there?"
"Hmph, he was the one who betrayed us first. He can't blame me."
Overlord Invincible's tone was grim. He was sacrificing a pawn to save the king, and Overlord Divine Bow was nothing more than a discarded piece.
Overlord Divine Light was unmoved and said seriously, "Young Lord, this is no small matter. If not handled properly, it will cause the guild members to lose heart."
Overlord Invincible frowned. He knew Divine Light had a point, but he had to do this to lull his opponent into a false sense of security and win a chance for development.
"I've found some information on the White Emperor."
Overlord Invincible told Overlord Divine Light his conjecture.
Overlord Divine Light lowered his head in thought. This was indeed a good method, but he still couldn't accept it.
"Young Lord, hunting down Overlord Divine Bow is fine, but if we give his real-world info to the White Emperor, won't Divine Bow be in danger in reality?"
From their interactions over the past few days, Overlord Divine Light believed the White Emperor was narrow-minded and vindictive. Just because Divine Bow stole a boss, he was locked in a life-and-death struggle with Overlord Guild; such a person would never achieve great things.
If the White Emperor got Divine Bow's real-world information, he would likely make a move against him in real life.
"That's none of our business. Just do as I say."
Overlord Invincible's mind was made up. He looked at the hesitant Overlord Divine Light and continued, "Divine Light, remember, to achieve great things, one must not be bothered by trivialities."
"Which successful person didn't climb up over a mountain of corpses and blood? I have high expectations for you, don't let me down."
Overlord Divine Light took a deep breath, cast aside that bit of womanly compassion, and nodded solemnly.
"Thank you for your guidance, Young Lord. I know what to do."
Overlord Divine Light got up to leave.
Overlord Invincible called out to him, "Wait. How are the arrangements for creating the new guild going?"
Mentioning this, Overlord Divine Light perked up and hurriedly said, "It's all been arranged. We have already gained the trust of the Taotie City Lord. Moreover, he has promised us that as long as we help him become the King City Lord, he will fully support our guild."
"Very good. Remember, the management must be people we trust. Once this is successful, you will hold shares in my Ba Tian Group. I have high hopes for you, keep it up."
Overlord Invincible stood up and patted Overlord Divine Light's shoulder, his eyes full of appreciation.
Overlord Divine Light was excited and overjoyed, and he quickly bowed. "This is all thanks to the Young Lord's cultivation."
"You may leave."
Overlord Invincible watched Overlord Divine Light leave, a cold smile in his heart.
When it came to manipulating hearts, he considered himself invincible.
To make subordinates loyal, the most important thing was to delegate power.
The new guild had been established and gained the support of the Taotie City Lord. Now, he would show weakness to the enemy and flatter the White Emperor to gain time for development. Once the new guild grew, he would surely trample the Leng Clan and the Lin Family under his feet... Land of Chaos.
Lin Yue looked at the clear scene around him and was stunned for a moment.
"This is the Land of Chaos? How did the mist dissipate? And how did this stone tablet crack?"
Lin Yue was surprised. The Land of Chaos was now clear, and he could no longer feel even a trace of Chaos Power.
Even the stone tablet beside him had cracked open.
"This... Lord Chaos won't blame me, will he?"
"And where did Cai Wenji go?"
Lin Yue muttered to himself. He could feel the importance of the Land of Chaos.
The Land of Chaos was where he performed his class advancement.
Now that the Chaos Power had vanished, what would he do for future class advancements?
Could it be that he really had to go and kill a Demigod?
The Second Advancement required killing a Demigod; for the third advancement, he might have to kill a True God himself.
Lin Yue felt a headache coming on.
"I'll take it one step at a time. I'll worry about it when I reach the third advancement."
Lin Yue stopped dwelling on it and checked the changes after his class advancement.
"Heart of Chaos has upgraded?!"
"Divine Might? What is this again?"
Lin Yue was surprised. His talent, Heart of Chaos, had actually risen to 3-stars, and he had even comprehended a new skill: Divine Might.
