Old Nie fell silent for a moment, then asked cautiously, "Tong Jiangnan was Lord Tree Ancestor's most valued proxy. If he died, wouldn't Star City be turned upside down? You... how can you be in the mood to come all the way here?"
Mao Doudou scoffed. "You mean the Bizarre Tree when you say Lord Tree Ancestor? It's all alone now, cowering like a turtle and afraid to show its face. You think we're hiding from it? It's the one hiding from us!"
At the mention of the Bizarre Tree, Old Nie grew somewhat uneasy.
He feared Tong Jiangnan, but when all was said and done, he feared Lord Tree Ancestor even more.
After all, Lord Tree Ancestor could decide his life or death at any moment.
If Lord Tree Ancestor learned that he had been captured, there was a good chance he would be executed.
Of course, Old Nie still clung to a little hope. If Tong Jiangnan was dead, Lord Tree Ancestor might not bother with a nobody like him. Perhaps he could escape this fate for good?
So when Old Nie heard that Lord Tree Ancestor was all alone, he couldn't make sense of it at first.
"Brother, you just said 'all alone.' What does that mean?"
There was no need to hide Star City's situation from Old Nie.
Mao Doudou sneered. "If you're still hoping some friends will come rescue you, I'd advise you to give up on that now. Tong Jiangnan is dead, Tang Pan is dead, and Meng Shuanglin is dead too. Every proxy in Star City who took part in last night's battle at the New Moon Bay base was wiped out. You should be grateful that Tong Jiangnan sent you to Panshi Ridge. Otherwise, you'd be one of those hundreds of ghosts
