She Shocks The Whole World After Retirement Chapter 958 - Deceived

Chapter 958: Deceived

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

Due to the fact that Xuanyuan Shen had colluded with the heavens, the Xuanyuan Clan had been at the center of the storm for the past few years and had become a pest that everyone in the cultivation world despised.

The Xuanyuan Clan, which had once been infamous, was now in ruins. They were already showing signs of withdrawing from the ranks of the Divine Moon Empire’s six great clans.

As the saying went, even a scrawny camel is bigger than a horse. After all, the Xuanyuan Clan was one of the six families of the Divine Moon Empire. It had been established in the Divine Moon Empire for three thousand years, so it couldn’t collapse overnight.

There were still more than a thousand Beast Tamers who had submitted to the Xuanyuan Clan. Previously, Lu Yubei had personally seen a large number of Supreme Master Beast Tamers return to the Xuanyuan Clan. They had clearly entered the Xuanyuan Clan, but the Xuanyuan Clan was so quiet that it was as if no one existed.

Where had they gone?

Lu Yubei pondered over it as he walked towards the Xuanyuan Clan’s meeting building. Usually, if something big happened in the clan, the Beast Tamers would go to the meeting building to hold a meeting.

Along the way, Lu Yubei didn’t even see a single cleaner.

Among the six families, the architectural style of the Sheng Clan and the Yin Clan was basically the same. They were both traditional Chinese architectural style buildings. The Liuli Clan and the Mo Clan had modern-style buildings. The Caro Clan was the most extravagant and had ancient European architectural style buildings. The ground was plated with a layer of gold and looked extremely extravagant.

The overall architectural style of the Xuanyuan Clan was that of a modern garden style. The scenery was beautiful.

It was like an ancient city far away from the bustling city. Right after the rain stopped, it would be even more beautiful.

However, Lu Yubei only felt his hair stand on end as he walked alone in this large garden.

“Is anyone there?” Lu Yubei shouted.

But no one responded.

Lu Yubei subconsciously quickened his pace and pa.s.sed through a long corridor before finally arriving at a three-storey building.

There was a sign hanging beside the door on the first floor. It said—

Azure Cloud Pavilion.

The Azure Cloud Pavilion was the Xuanyuan Clan’s meeting hall.

Lu Yubei walked to the door and hesitated for a moment before knocking hard.

Knock, knock, knock—

Lu Yubei knocked four to five times, but no one opened the door.

Lu Yubei frowned and directly circulated his spiritual power to attack the door.

Bang!

The door landed on the floor of the conference hall with a loud bang.

The first floor of the conference hall was the reception hall. Every table was filled with coffee, tea, and some snacks. Some tea was unfinished, but the person drinking the tea was nowhere to be seen.

Staring at the teacups on the table, Lu Yubei looked up.

The elevator door was closed, and the staircase beside it led straight upstairs.

Lu Yubei walked up the stairs. Just as he reached the corner platform, he got a whiff of the faint smell of blood.

With a serious expression, Lu Yubei rushed to the second floor.

The second floor was an open conference hall. After exiting the corridor, he would arrive at the entrance to the conference hall.

After Lu Yubei arrived at the second floor, he looked down at the conference hall. As if he had seen an extremely terrifying scene, he subconsciously let out a scream—

“Ah!”

Lu Yubei sat on the ground with his back against the wall and his legs slid to the ground weakly.

A large square conference hall was in front of him. Black benches were neatly placed in the conference hall. A group of Beast Tamers who had long stopped breathing were lying on the benches without moving.

Their posture was very uniform—

They sat upright on the bench, but their chins and heads were raised high, and their hands were tightly wrapped around their necks.

Black blood flowed out of their noses and eyes.

They all had their eyes open.

Every pair of eyes was filled with malevolence.

Nearly a thousand pairs of bleeding eyes stared at Lu Yubei without blinking, as if they were accusing him of being the murderer.

Lu Yubei clenched his fists against the wall behind him before slowly standing up.

After he regained his rationality and strength, he quickly took out his phone with trembling hands and dialed Sheng Lingfeng’s number.

Beep!

Beep!

The phone rang for a long time before it was picked up.

Sheng Lingfeng’s worried voice came from the receiver. “a.s.sistant Lu, what’s the situation with the Xuanyuan Clan?”

Lu Yubei’s eyelids trembled as he stared at the thousand-plus ferocious faces in front of him. He said with a quivering and hoa.r.s.e voice, “They’re all dead. President, the powerhouses of the Xuanyuan Clan and the Liuli Clan are all dead!”

Hearing this, Sheng Lingfeng suddenly punched the wall.

“What’s wrong?!” Sheng Xiao grabbed Sheng Lingfeng’s right hand and stopped him from hurting himself.

Sheng Lingfeng turned off his phone and looked up. His eyes were bloodshot as he said hoa.r.s.ely, “We were deceived by her!”

Sheng Xiao frowned and asked uneasily, “Father, what happened?”

“The Supreme Masters and experts of the Xuanyuan Clan and the Liuli Clan are all dead. All their spiritual power was s.n.a.t.c.hed away by her…” Just like Xuanyuan Shen, the other experts of the Xuanyuan Clan and the Liuli Clan had their spiritual power sucked and died in pain.

Sheng Xiao was shocked. Ji Linyuan and the others were also shocked.

Ji Linyuan said in confusion, “The 24th holy child is in our hands. She knows that her plan has failed. Is she planning to fight us to the death?”

Sheng Lingfeng shook his head in anguish and frustration. His face was filled with despair as he said, “She didn’t come to the treatment center. She went to the Eight Towers Mountain!”

After he found out that Madam Xuanyuan had actually gone to the Eight Towers Mountain, Xiao Shu’s expression instantly became cold.

Dongfang Xiagui said in shock, “How is that possible? The spring awakening holy baby is with us. Why didn’t she come here to stop us? Why did she go to the Eight Towers Mountain?”

Xiao Shu said in a low voice, “We were deceived.”

Dongfang Xiagui, Ji Linyuan, and the others hurriedly turned to look at Xiao Shu, who was standing behind them.

Ji Linyuan frowned and asked Xiao Shu, “What do you mean?”

Xiao Shu stared at the tightly shut door of the room as he said with a sinister expression, “The real spring awakening holy baby is hidden in the Yin Clan of the Eight Towers Mountain. The child in Madam Vivian’s stomach is just a cover!” Xiao Shu was in despair. He closed his eyes and lamented, “He knew that I would betray him and guessed that I would tell you guys the truth about the 24 holy children. He was already prepared and had a backup plan!”

Xiao Shu punched the wall in front of him hard. His knuckles were bleeding, but he didn’t seem to feel the pain. “We… lost.” His tone was filled with helplessness and unwillingness, as well as despair.

Sheng Lingfeng suddenly looked at Ji Linyuan and asked him, “Who in the Yin family is pregnant?”

Ji Linyuan was even more shocked than Sheng Lingfeng and the others.

He shook his head and said, “There are no pregnant women in the Yin Clan.”

“Impossible.” Xiao Shu looked at Ji Linyuan and said firmly, “The spring awakening holy baby must be on the Eight Towers Mountain. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have gone to the Eight Towers Mountain at this critical moment.”

Ji Linyuan explained weakly again, “There’s really no pregnant woman in the Yin Clan. If someone was really pregnant, how could I not know?”

The fertility rate of the entire Holy Spirit Continent had become extremely low. Every pregnant woman was worthy of protection.

If a woman from the Yin Clan was really pregnant, it was impossible for Ji Linyuan not to know.

Therefore, Ji Linyuan was shocked that the spring awakening holy baby was hidden in the Yin Clan.
