The Old Chairman's Death

The underground Insect Race settlement was now mostly occupied by Feather Powder.

As the old guild leader of the Beastfolk settlement listened to the series of bad news, the wrinkles on his forehead deepened.

"President, that eerie fog is getting closer and closer. For your safety, please move to the Insect Mother's Mansion."

"Yes, Guild Master, please come to the Insect Mother's residence."

With a series of devastating news reports, the other high-ranking Beastfolk the orc race who had come to take refuge could no longer remain silent.

However, they could not be the first to flee, nor did they have the right to enter the residence of the Insect Race administrators of this settlement.

Therefore, they could only try their best to persuade the old chairman of the Management Committee to take the lead.

The old chairman didn't immediately pay attention to these people.

He first issued various orders to ensure that the fortifications were still operational and that the frontline soldiers did not flee en masse.

Then, he sighed and turned to face the officials who were filled with fear.

"Go ahead and try to escape. I've already spoken to the Insect Mother; she'll accept you."

As soon as he finished speaking, joyful thanks and hurried footsteps came from all directions.

One minute later, the command center fell silent again.

Only the insect supporters and a handful of Beastfolk officers remained.

"Chairman," an officer stepped forward and asked softly, "Are we just going to let them go like that? What's the difference between them and deserters!"

His tone was full of anger and disdain, clearly indicating his considerable dissatisfaction.

"Hehe."

The old chairman chuckled softly, but his expression remained utterly indifferent.

"This cannot be called desertion; they will serve the community in other ways."

The soldier didn't understand, but he didn't dwell on it anymore.

After a brief respite, the command center returned to its busy state.

However, this state is destined not to last long.

"Boom--!"

The last line of defense, relentlessly bombarded by the Composite Radiant Feathers, finally succumbed to the pressure and collapsed with a crash.

More Radiant Feathers and Feather Powder flooded into this area, instantly covering every corner.

The soldiers either suffocated from inhaling Feather Powder or were torn apart by the passing Radiant Feathers.

In an instant, the scene was one of devastation and loss of life.

The old chairman's command room was located at the back, and a large amount of Feather Powder was also found inside.

Fortunately, Radiant Feathers has not yet visited.

"Close the windows! Turn the ventilation on full blast! Quickly!"

The threat of death was imminent; before the old chairman could even finish giving his order, someone was already closing the windows.

However, some things cannot be blocked by simply closing the window.

Their action of closing the window disturbed the airflow, and was immediately noticed by the Radiant Feathers.

Countless Radiant Feathers swarmed towards the window, flying at full speed and crashing directly into it.

"Bang!"

The thickened glass window, mixed with metal shavings, blocked the first wave of attacks.

A second wave of attacks followed immediately!

"Bang!"

"Snap!"

Spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the stained glass window.

Radiant Feathers sensed the presence of living beings inside the house.

The third wave of attacks was no longer just a series of sporadic attacks from the Radiant Feathers.

"Boom! Boom! Boom--!"

Radiant Feathers lunged at the cracked glass, got stuck in the crevice, and then suddenly exploded.

At the same time, more Radiant Feathers were attacking the walls of the surrounding houses.

In just two seconds, the window and the wall were smashed open one after the other.

The people in the command room were suddenly surrounded by a large number of Radiant Feathers, with nowhere to escape.

As expected, the only Heaven Realm Awakened present, the old leader of the Beastfolk, was also exposed.

At the same time, many high-ranking Beastfolk who fled to the Insect Mother's residence were also targeted.

Radiant Feathers followed behind them, traversing the network of passageways, until they arrived at the location of the Insect Mother.

At this point, the current leaders of both tribes in the underground settlement have been discovered.

Shisui closed his eyes and sensed their strength.

The old president is only at the Heaven Realm Second Realm, while the Insect Mother is just one step away from the Fifth Realm of the Heaven Realm.

When he opened his eyes again, Shisui had vanished from the spot in an instant.

The old chairman, who was driving Radiant Feathers away, suddenly felt a chill run down his spine as a sense of crisis surged through his body like Lightning.

Without any hesitation, he instinctively dodged to the side.

A slash appeared out of thin air at the spot where he left.

Just when he thought he had dodged the attack, something unexpected happened.

Suddenly, a sharp slash tore through space, hurtling straight toward the location of the old chairman.

Their target was clear: the old chairman's neck!

The slash was as fast as Lightning; the old chairman didn't even have time to react.

He could only watch helplessly as the fatal blow approached him and then pierced his flesh.

There was a "whoosh" sound, like the sound of paper tearing.

The old chairman's flesh was sliced open the instant it came into contact with the slash.

In an instant, blood gushed out like a fountain, splashing onto the surrounding ground and forming a shocking, ink-like bloodstain.

However, the old chairman was no ordinary person after all.

He was, after all, an awakened being from the Heaven Realm, so his strength was not to be underestimated.

The instant the slash pierced his neck, his immense Psychic Energy erupted, fiercely confronting the attack.

The two energies are clashing against each other.

In the end, the slash successfully pierced the old chairman's neck.

However, it only penetrated about an inch before being completely consumed by the power within the old chairman's body, disappearing without a trace.

Immediately afterwards, the gruesome wound on the old chairman's neck began to heal rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In the blink of an eye, bright red granulation tissue appeared on the wound, gradually closing the gaping wound.

During the wound healing process, the old chairman finally had time to look around at the situation.

However, when he saw the scene around him clearly, he was stunned.

All around was empty, without a single person in sight, only scattered pieces of flesh and pools of crimson blood.

Clearly, the other Beastfolk were utterly powerless against the Radiant Feathers's ferocious attacks and were instantly wiped out.

However, the old chairman didn't have much time to sigh or be shocked.

Because he knew that the enemy would never give him a chance to breathe.

Sure enough, just as he was observing his surroundings, the next slash appeared.

Shisui gave the old chairman absolutely no time to react.

The next moment, a crisp "crack" was heard.

Old wounds haven't healed, and new wounds are piling up.

The old chairman's head was brutally severed.

The powerful impact sent his head flying high into the air, as if it were being lifted up by an invisible force.

Then, it flew straight into the Wormhole in Alternate Space and disappeared without a trace, as if it had never existed at all.

"Thump!"

The headless corpse collapsed to the ground with a thud.

On the other side, even deeper underground.

The Beastfolk high-ranking officers who had fled the front-line command center also entered the Insect Mother's mansion.

The Insect Mother did not turn them away.

Just as the old guild leader said, she accepted these Beastfolk.

However, it wasn't for protection, but for food.

The continuous production of Insect Race has nearly depleted the energy reserves of the Insect Mother and her subordinate secondary Insect Mother and Insect Hives.

Even if they devour the dead Insect Race and recover some energy, it's still just a drop in the ocean.

Ultimately, energy transfer involves a significant amount of loss.

No matter how much energy is recycled from the dead Insect Race, it can't make up for the deficiencies in their bodies.

That's why the old chairman sent these "deserters."

Although their combat strength was average, they had at least used various expensive materials to transform themselves into Earth Realm Awakened.

Presumably, providing some energy shouldn't be a problem.

After sucking so much blood from the ruling class, it's only right to give back to one's comrades and contribute to resisting foreign enemies.
