Chapter 243 Why?
We’re dead meat this time!
Despair rose in Cao Guanshan’s heart.
They had waited almost a month for the cabinet’s decision.
In the end, before the decision was made, Ghost Ride’s members arrived.
Due to the fact that the Bloodseeker Beasts were trapped by the array formation, it would take time for the cabinet to make a decision. Cao Guanshan had long known this.
At least a buffer of a year’s time was enough for the cabinet to discuss and come to the final decision.
After all, sealing a valley of a significant size for a long time required a large amount of resources and important treasures. Mobilizing these things required repeated thought on the cabinet’s end.
In the past, such incidents also had similar procedures.
But this time, Ghost Ride actually dared to send people here again.
Whether it was for revenge or for other reasons, it caught Cao Guanshan and Gu Zhanlin off guard.
They took advantage of the night to launch a sneak attack. The troops of the Prefecture Army scattered around the valley, as well as the dozens of Flying Lions, were met with a fierce attack just as soon as they were alerted.
There weren’t many Ghost Ride members, only about 30 of them.
However, all of them were either in the third-grade or peak fourth-grade.
They were no match for them at all.
Especially when the pretentious man leading the Ghost Ride was a first-grade expert.
There was no need to think further about this. They were doomed. “D*mn it, d*mn it! Ahh!”
Cao Guanshan, who was screaming inwardly, was indignant, desperate, regretful, and helpless. Gu Zhanlin was different. He did not show much negative emotions and only stared fixedly at the man in the suit with wide eyes.
“Are you doing this for revenge?”
“Revenge?” The man in the suit let out a breath and puffed out a ring of smoke. He said calmly, “You can say that it’s revenge. After all, we lost many of our members previously…” “Those people were killed by the Bloodseeker Beasts. It has nothing to do with us!” Gu Zhanlin interrupted through gritted teeth.
“I know.” The man in the suit flicked the ash off his cigarette and took a deep breath. “I know they died under the claws of the Bloodseeker Beasts. Look, I didn’t ask anyone to kill you, did I?”
Gu Zhanlin was stunned.
That’s right. Ghost Ride’s sneak attack this time had destroyed the encirclement, and indeed, only a few people had been killed. Most of them were severely injured and had lost their mobility.
This was somewhat strange.
But very quickly, Gu Zhanlin came to his senses and said with an ugly expression, “You want to release the Bloodseeker Beasts?”
“Smart people are indeed enlightened with the slightest hint.”
The man in the suit took a drag of his cigarette, exhaled, and smiled. “You guessed right. Our main purpose in coming here this time is to release the Bloodseeker Beasts and let them return to nature to enjoy…”
“Return your head!”
Gu Zhanlin cursed. “You d*mn lunatics and bastards who have no descendants, you’ll never die a good death. You won’t even be able to become a ghost after death!” “Lunatic, lunatic, lunatic!” Cao Guanshan’s entire body was trembling, and his face was pale.
Xiao Yuanfang’s frown deepened. His other good arm was hidden behind his back and quickly formed seals.
“Can’t even become a ghost after death?”
The man in the suit chuckled. “This curse is quite unique. Is there anything similar? You can take the opportunity to curse more now. There won’t be any chances for that later.”
Buzz!
As soon as he finished speaking, the Nine Lotus Eight Trigrams Array suddenly lit up. A huge lotus flower appeared and enveloped the valley. It was especially eye-catching in the night. Many Eight Trigrams imprints appeared on the translucent screen, moving up and down with the three figures. Every time they moved, the huge lotus flower that enveloped the valley would tremble slightly.
At the same time, the translucent screen rippled.
The ripples extended down from above and finally struck the ground, sinking into it.
An invisible aura spread out in all directions with the entire valley as the center.
Everywhere it passed, the mountains that were filled with the cries of insects and birds fell silent.
“No, no, no!”
Seeing this scene, Gu Zhanlin’s hands began to tremble, and fear emerged in his eyes.
“You can’t do this, you can’t do this!”
He snarled and shouted in fear, “You can’t do this!”
Breaking the array formation!
Ghost Ride had actually brought three array formation experts over to work together to crack the Nine Lotus Eight Trigrams Array.
Array formation experts were rare to begin with, but now, three of them had appeared.
The Nine Lotus Eight Trigrams Array was indeed not easy to break, but since the people from Ghost Ride dared to appear here, it meant that they were confident about doing so.
It had been almost a month since the Bloodseeker Beasts were trapped.
If Ghost Ride was only here for revenge, they would have shown themselves long ago.
Yet, they took such a long time to appear.
It was obvious that they had made preparations to crack the array formation and gathered three array formation experts. They only arrived here tonight because they were now confident.

Once the Nine Lotus Eight Trigrams Array was removed, the Bloodseeker Beasts in the valley would definitely rush out.
Those of them who were not dead but were rendered immobile would become the first batch of food for them.
Food for the Bloodseeker Beasts to become stronger!
“Why…”
Gu Zhanlin, who was terrified, furious, and stifled, shouted helplessly, “Why?! Why are you doing this? What benefits will releasing the Bloodseeker Beasts and killing humans bring
you?”
“Benefits?”
The man in the suit blew out a mouthful of smoke and chuckled. “Do you think that we’re releasing the Bloodseeker Beasts for some kind of benefit?”
“If not, why are you doing it?” Gu Zhanlin growled.
“It’s fun.”
The man in the suit flicked the ashes of his cigarette and raised his voice. “Don’t you think that there are too many people in Yu Nation now? This has caused the resources to be very tight. If a group of people were to die at this time–not too many, just one to two hundred million would do–the remaining people would definitely live more comfortably…” “Comfortable your a*s!”
Cao Guanshan cursed loudly. His face was covered in sweat. At this moment, he threw caution to the wind and shouted at the top of his voice, “Who do you think you are? The Human Development Association? Let one or two hundred million people die. Heh, what right do you have to decide the fates of others? Even if you’re looking for an excuse, please find one that sounds better!
“Do you think you won’t be affected by the release of the Bloodseeker Beasts?
“The mention of this just makes me laugh. Your group of people who came earlier even tried to manipulate the Bloodseeker Beasts for your own use. In the end, they went out for wool and came home shorn. They got themselves implicated and were all devoured by the Bloodseeker Beasts. Not even a bone was left behind!
“Now you people are here again. You want to go crazy again and release the Bloodseeker Beasts.
“Just you wait. When a Beast King appears among the Bloodseeker Beasts, I’ll see how many of you can escape! “We will die, and neither will you escape! Hahaha…”
Cao Guanshan burst into laughter.
The man in the suit ignored him and stood aside, puffing out smoke rings.
Crack! Crack! Crack! Cracks appeared on the translucent screen.
The giant lotus flower that shrouded the valley flickered.
Finally, with a loud bang, it exploded into countless pieces that scattered in midair. Cao Guanshan’s laughter stopped abruptly. Gu Zhanlin’s face was ashen, Xiao Yuanfang’s eyes were filled with fear and shock, and the others were filled with despair.
Only then did the man in the suit throw away his cigarette butt and stomp on it a few times. He clapped his hands and said excitedly, “Alright, everyone, let’s welcome our darlings on stage!”
