Chapter 273: It Was Evident (Part 3)
Witnessing General Fire’s death, all the warriors of Huo Yao’s Army took a step backward. This time, they were truly terrified.
Although Yue Yao had left the Land of the Nine Luminaries, his menacing aura continued to linger all over. None of the soldiers had the audacity to rebel against him.
“You! Step forward!” Yue Yao pointed at a Ghost General among them.
“Lord Yue Yao… we followed our enemy here and have no idea what treasures you’re talking about!” the warrior explained nervously.
Split!
Not wanting to waste his time debating with the warrior, Yue Yao drew out a streamer and decapitated the man.
“You! Step forward!”
Following Yue Yao’s order, another Ghost General stumbled forward. Just as everyone expected, none of his answers could please Yue Yao, and he was killed by Yue Yao on the spot.
“Great! All of you are very loyal. I’ll have to personally speak to my brother to get an answer!”
Yue Yao turned to look at the many leaders of Beiqi who were at his heels.
He commanded, “Follow me to Huo Yao’s military base in my homeland!”
Then, Yue Yao threw a glance at Liu Chai who was apparently still angry.
“Liu Chai, since you’ve been loyal to me, and your tribe members lost their lives protecting Mad Tooth and helping him escape, I’ll definitely compensate you for your loss! Don’t worry!”
“Lord Yue Yao, let’s head for Huo Yao’s military base. They won’t be able to refute it once we find the treasures!” Liu Chai yelled furiously.

Following Yue Yao’s order, the troops marched toward the Land of the Nine Luminaries.
At that moment, Yue Yao was enraged. Despite not having a good relationship with Huo Yao, they were, after all, brothers. They had the same blood running in their veins.
However, he couldn’t take Huo Yao’s actions lying down anymore. Huo Yao seemed to have never considered their relationship as he committed such wrongdoings.
He had just been installed as His Excellency of Beiqi. In order to strengthen his footing, he had to handle this issue in a decent manner. If he swept this under the rug, his inferiors wouldn’t willingly submit to him. It would be just as though he had lost all authority being their king.
…
At the military base of Huo Yao’s Army.
Under Yue Yao’s lead, the millions of players finally arrived at their destination. Immediately alarmed, Huo Yao’s Army assembled, thinking that they were being blitzed by their enemy.
The warriors of Huo Yao’s Army were stunned when they saw Yue Yao.
“Huo Yao!” Yue Yao yelled and the whole military base was swamped by an impactful sound wave.
“Lord Yue Yao, Lord Huo Yao is probably in a meeting with the other lords at the Dark Heaven Pavilion. He’s not at the military base right now!” Huo Lang the Ghost King, the general of the military base, cupped his hands together as he reported to Yue Yao.
“Huo Lang, tell me honestly. Did you rob my assets? Have you hidden my treasures in the Resource Warehouse of your military base?”
Huo Lang’s heart skipped a beat.
He hurriedly explained, “Lord Yue Yao, that’s not possible! We don’t have the audacity to do that. Moreover, our Resource Warehouse is certainly not capable of containing your costly treasures!”
Seeing how hostile Yue Yao was, Huo Lang finally realized that things were not in an amicable state. Yue Yao was definitely not here to casually visit Lord Huo Yao.
“Open the door of your Resource Warehouse! I must search it!” Yue Yao glared at Huo Lang as he continued to push Huo Lang with his menacing aura.
“Lord Yue Yao… this… this doesn’t seem right. Lord Huo Yao hasn’t returned yet…”
“Go and get him now! Tell him that I’m looking for him! But I’ll have to search the Resource Warehouse now!” Yue Yao spoke as he beckoned Liu Chai and the team of players forward. They forcefully marched in.
Owing to Yue Yao’s presence, none of the warriors of Huo Yao’s Army dared to fight back. They could only watch helplessly as the foreign troops invaded their military base.
“Lord Yue Yao…”
“Save it! Get Huo Yao. Bring him here as soon as possible!”
“Yes!” Huo Lang had no choice but to agree to Yue Yao. He dared not disobey or rebuke him.
When the crew arrived before the Resource Warehouse, Yue Yao coerced the warriors into opening the door and commanded, “Liu Chai, bring them into the warehouse and run a thorough search!”
“No worries, boss!” Liu Chai answered immediately. He waved his hand and gestured his team of players into the warehouse.
When Yue Yao was about to enter the warehouse, a streamer of light streaked across the sky, “Second brother, what are you doing?”
“Eighth brother, I’m going to ask you the same question! What are you doing?” Yue Yao glared at the figure that was descending from the sky with an intimidating aura.
The stream of light disappeared as Huo Yao materialized beside Yue Yao.
“Second brother, I don’t know what you’re talking about. However, it’s very rude for you to trespass on my military base and enter my Resource Warehouse without permission! You’re completely ignoring my authority here!” Huo Yao scowled at Yue Yao defiantly and furiously.
“Tell me. Did you rob my treasures?” Yue Yao tried his best to stay calm before he continued questioning Huo Yao.
“Second brother, are you kidding me? Why would I rob your treasures? Didn’t we agree on dividing the treasures? Haven’t your subordinates taken away your share?”
“Fine! I’m not here to debate with you. Let’s wait for Liu Chai!” Yue Yao gazed at the Resource Warehouse, waiting for their return.
Confronting the aggressive Yue Yao, Huo Yao finally realized that something extremely offbeat was happening.
He knew Yue Yao very well. There was no fire without smoke. It was impossible for his second brother to invade his privacy and seriously do something that would risk ruining their relationship.
He had an ominous hunch, suspecting that he must have missed out on something.
At that moment, Liu Chai and his crew continued to explore the Resource Warehouse.
When they arrived at the deepest part of the Resource Warehouse, Liu Chai ordered, “Brothers, take out all the resources you’ve robbed! The rest of you keep watch!”
Upon receiving the command, the players at the back quickly turned around to watch the door.
The players, who robbed the resources, hurriedly took out all of the treasures and stacked them in a corner of the Resource Warehouse.
This was the third part of their plan, to plant the stolen goods on someone else.
The players who robbed the treasures turned off the simulation after they finished their quest. They walked across the Barren Grassland and headed for the military base that was located in the Land of the Nine Luminaries. They made a feigned attack, and led Huo Yao’s Army to the Barren Grassland.
At that moment, Liu Chai, together with his troops, met up with the other players, and ambushed the warriors of Huo Yao’s Army who arrived at their heels.
Initially, they intended to wait for the arrival of General Crescent Moon and his forces, wanting them to witness the presence of Huo Yao’s Army at the Barren Grassland.
Their plan went smooth, despite the fact that the players didn’t expect Yue Yao to arrive at this crucial second.
It seemed like everything was predestined. They didn’t expect their plan to end so successfully and so quickly. All the players were absolutely thrilled.
After the players took out the treasures, Liu Chai dashed out of the Resource Warehouse.
Both Yue Yao and Huo Yao grimaced, awaiting Liu Chai’s arrival.
Then, Liu Chai hurried over. Once he left the Resource Warehouse, he lifted his gaze to look at Yue Yao.
“Lord Yue Yao, I haven’t seen the treasures before, but there’s a huge pile of treasures in the corner of the Resource Warehouse that look like they could be yours. You’ll have to check it out on your own!”
Upon listening to that, Yue Yao descended from the sky and headed inside.
Huo Yao’s heart skipped a beat.
This was the military’s warehouse that stored their resources. It was impossible for them to keep their treasures inside the warehouse. Liu Chai’s words had certainly alarmed him.
He followed Liu Chai at the speed of light.
When Yue Yao found the pile of treasures that was hidden in the Resource Warehouse, he was infuriated. He turned to look at Huo Yao.
“Eighth brother, I think you owe me an explanation!” Yue Yao raised his voice as he spoke.
“Second brother, I’ve been framed!” Huo Yao’s face paled.
“Someone framed you? Are you going to tell me that my subordinates, the Player Clan, framed you? Are you going to say that they brought the treasures along and placed it inside your army’s warehouse on purpose? Are you claiming that they are trying to put the blame on you?”
The Player Clan came from the Barren Grassland. Yue Yao was sure that they didn’t carry any of the treasures with them. Thinking that he had successfully seized both physical evidence and the culprit, Huo Yao’s rebuttal further enraged Yue Yao.
