Chapter 1534 - 1514: Ba Tianhu Forces a Palace Coup

Ba Tianhu led thousands of elite troops to the Dark Web Headquarters Valley.

"Tell your Mr. Master that Ba Tianhu has come to visit."

The guard defending the valley was startled upon hearing this and hurriedly flew towards the interior of the valley.

At the same time, a continuous howl echoed throughout the valley, this was the internal alarm of the Dark Web.

In an instant, the entire valley trembled, everyone inside rushed out, occupying defensive positions both in the sky and on the ground. All the valley defenses started, the Attack Sword Formation went on high alert, ready to engage in battle at any moment.

The guard quickly flew to the small building of Mr. Master.

"Mr. Master, Ba Tianhu has arrived with thousands of people, claiming to visit you."

Mr. Master was reading indoors when he heard the guard's words, surprised, he immediately said:

"Gather all members within the valley, prepare for battle."

"I have already sounded the alarm."

"Good, no need to panic, activate the Defense Light Screen and Attack Sword Formation, follow my commands."

Mr. Master walked out of the room, cloaked in a snow-white veil, vanished and flew towards the front of the valley.

At this moment, at the front of the valley, aside from Mr. Five, who guards the City of Hope, and Yang Xiao, Mr. Eight, Second Master and others had already arrived at the entrance of the valley.

There were approximately hundreds of people in the valley, all in a state of alert.

Mr. Master's white figure gracefully descended, Second Master and others immediately bowed and shouted:

"Greetings, Mr. Master."

Mr. Master nodded slightly, then turned around and faced Ba Tianhu and his men outside the valley, chuckled slightly and said:

"I never expected Ba Tianhu would suddenly come to our remote part of the Dark Web, truly a rare guest!"

Ba Tianhu laughed heartily and said:

"Mr. Master, haven't seen you for a long time, I've specially come today for a visit, why, it seems you're not very welcoming, there's the Defense Light Screen, the Attack Sword Formation, and so many people,"

"Is that so, one of the three overlords of the Central Continent, Ba Tianhu, has surrounded my small valley with thousands of elites, this doesn't seem friendly! You're not thinking of leveling our Dark Web Valley, are you?"

Ba Tianhu laughed heartily:

"Come now, come now, I've just come to visit Mr. Master, as I travel there are Demon Beasts about, it's natural to bring a few companions, haha...."

Mr. Master through the cloak, smiled softly and said:

"No problem, even if Ba Tianhu wants to destroy the Dark Web Valley, it won't be possible without leaving behind hundreds, thousands of corpses. Since you're here, share your thoughts."

Mr. Master always arrogant and aloof, even though Ba Tianhu had surrounded the valley with thousands of elites, she didn't put it in the heart.

Ba Tianhu awkwardly smiled, then said:

"Good, Mr. Master is straightforward, I won't beat around the bush, but I want to speak to you alone, will you honor me?"

"Hehe, sure, as long as Ba Tianhu is willing to enter my small valley, I can invite you for a cup of tea and a chat."

Mr. Master waved a hand, and Second Master and others stepped aside, the Defensive Light Curtain Gate opened.

Ba Tianhu fearlessly laughed heartily, stepped inside.

The thousands of guards behind him admired Ba Tianhu's boldness calling out in approval.

Even Mr. Master internally felt admiration for Ba Tianhu.

Dark Web Headquarters though few in number, it was undoubtedly a dragon's lair among the few in Central Continent, not easily breached by average individuals.

"Ba Tianhu is indeed bold and courageous, please!"

Mr. Master gestured with a hand invitingly, then instructed Second Master:

"I'll chat with Ba Tianhu alone, none of you follow, let's not let others mock the Dark Web's dignity."

"Yes, Mr. Master."

Mr. Master and Ba Tianhu walked side by side, towards the valley.

"Hehe, Mr. Master, your valley is serene, air fresh, a great place indeed."

"If you could let go of the affairs in Sky Tiger City, you might find a mountain retreat for your retirement."

"Mr. Master is retiring? Sitting within the valley, strategizing, controlling hundreds of top assassins, dominating the Central Continent, feared by all, not simple!"

"My business is insignificant compared to one of the three overlords of the Central Continent."

...

As they walked and talked, they arrived at a small building.

"Ba Tianhu, the back garden of this building is where I usually drink tea and relax, care for a cup?"

"Yes, it's rare to visit Dark Web Valley, even rarer to drink tea personally brewed by Mr. Master."

Fearlessly, Ba Tianhu followed Mr. Master into the garden at the back of the building and they sat under the tall tree in the pavilion.

Mr. Master filled a pot with mountain spring water, with a wave of her right hand, flame enveloped the kettle, soon steam rose from within.

Mr. Master took out a small bottle from the Space Ring, took a red pill from it and placed it in the teapot, instantly the water turned crimson like blood.

Mr. Master poured two cups of tea, handed one to Ba Tianhu, lifted her own cup, lightly revealed her face under the veil, and drank it in one go.

"Please!"

Mr. Master gestured warmly to Ba Tianhu.

Ba Tianhu chuckled, hesitated, who knows if this tea is poisoned?

Mr. Master didn't force him, she said:

"Tea can wait, tell me, you've come with such fanfare, you must have a reason."

"Haha, Mr. Master is indeed wise, fine, you're straightforward, I'll be direct,

Yang Xiao was killed by a nuclear generator explosion at Wuji Academy, this news, Mr. Master surely knows, right?"

"I knew over a month ago, so? Didn't you hate Yang Xiao? Now that he's dead, aren't you even happier?"

"Haha, of course I'm happy, heavens have eyes, that arrogant kid dared to fight me, and now the heavens have sorted him out, good, I'm very happy, haha!"

"And then?"

Mr. Master poured herself another cup of red tea, drank it.

Ba Tianhu looked at Mr. Master through the veil, coldly said:

"Yang Xiao is gone, the Central Continent should return to calm, revert to the old order,

Yang Xiao's five cities, I want three, City of Hope, Firebird City, Shuize City for me, the other two for you,

However, even for you, there are conditions, you must abolish all of Yang Xiao's policies and return to the old policies."

Mr. Master drank another cup of red tea, casually asked:

"What if I don't agree?"

"If you don't agree, the five thousand guards outside will immediately attack, to completely flatten your Dark Web Headquarters,

I know, I might not kill you, you might escape, but your subordinates, today none will leave alive."
