Chapter 433: At the Foot of the Divine Mountain
This place was like a secret base, everywhere wired telephones were installed, and there was even a dedicated base station.
When Chen Yu entered here, he discovered that his mobile phone had a signal.
After the two had finished their call, a strange sound suddenly arose from the depths of the Wuliang Sea forest, followed by a torrent of birds and beasts rushing out.
Blue-white light flickered in Chen Yu's eyes, which quickly covered everything, and it wasn't long before he saw a middle-aged man riding a horse.
The man was exceptionally burly, and although not as tall as Ural, his body fat percentage was reduced to the lowest.
There were at least twenty people following him, each carrying a large number of weapons.
It would be nearly impossible for an ordinary person to kill Kadoge under these circumstances.
But Chen Yu didn't care about that and walked straight over.
"Did the old man of the last generation die?"
Kadoge shouted and rode his horse up to Chen Yu, his eyes filled with excitement.
Chen Yu didn't answer but simply pulled out a short sword, making a respectful gesture and presented it to Kadoge.
Kadoge's breathing became hurried, and he went forward to take the short sword directly.
Just as he got close, his body started convulsing.
The guards by his side rushed over when they saw their lord's condition, but they too fell to the ground as soon as they dismounted.
Chen Yu didn't pay attention to the others; he gave Kadoge an electric shock on the neck and then forcibly dragged him into the car.
Jin Lingsu was dazed for a moment; everything happened too quickly, far beyond his imagination.
"That's it?"
Chen Yu nodded, "What else did you expect? To chop this guy into pieces? It's better to leave the killing to his own people. We should stay out of their internal disputes!"
Jin Lingsu smiled sheepishly, embarrassed; those were the words he had told Chen Yu before.

He hadn't expected them to come back to him so soon.
Without lingering around, the two hurriedly left in the car.
The journey from the Wuliang Sea to the camp was extremely smooth, and with Chen Yu's skills, they returned to camp in less than half a day.
Others would never dare to do this; even if the road was smooth, it was still in the desert, and the danger of driving at night was too great.
But Chen Yu was different; for a while, he even let the system take control of his body to drive.
When they returned to camp, it was the early morning of the next day, and the Wizard was leading a few people in slaughtering sheep just outside the camp.
Upon seeing the car, the Wizard also stood there stunned, his muscles tensed, tiptoeing and peering over to see who was sitting inside.
When Chen Yu dragged Kadoge out of the car like a dead dog, the stone in the Wizard's heart instantly fell.
He excitedly ran up to Chen Yu, with an added layer of flattery in his eyes.
"It's only been a day and a half, and you've already returned? That was too fast!"
Chen Yu threw Kadoge to the ground: "Now this man is your responsibility. It's up to you to make a choice!"
This was akin to throwing a hot potato into the Wizard's lap.

If he truly sided with Chen Yu, he would've killed Kadoge without hesitation. However, if he feared Kadoge and dared not betray him, he would turn around and strike at Chen Yu instead.
Whatever choice the wizard made, it didn't matter to Chen Yu.
At worst, he could just kill both the wizard and Kadoge and then, using the jade token and short sword in his hand, lead everyone here back to Mount Augus.
The wizard only hesitated for a moment before pulling out the short dagger from his waist and stabbing Kadoge fiercely in the chest.
"You traitor of our clan, leading us to such a desolate place, even wanting to break away from Mount Augus--today I shall kill you in the name of the true God."
He looked so vicious, as if there was a huge grudge between them, which made even Chen Yu shake his head in disbelief.
It seemed that the wizard had already taken care of the entire camp.
With Kadoge dead, everyone came out, cheering and not showing the slightest sadness for the loss of their leader, as if they were welcoming some kind of rebirth.
After scanning the thoughts of everyone present, Chen Yu walked straight into the tent.
This period had been exhausting for him, constantly running between desert and grassland.
Even if his physical fitness had reached the human limit, he would still feel tired.
Given the current situation, the two strongest forces within the Lakato Family had already chosen to align with Mount Augus. The rest would follow suit.
After all, they were once part of the Lakato Family; it was only due to some events that they chose to disperse.
Kadoge's tent was extremely luxurious. Although it was just a huge tent fixed in place, the interior decoration was no less opulent than a palace.
Chen Yu stretched lazily and then laid down directly on the bed.
The entire camp suddenly became very lively, with everyone packing up their tents onto ox carts. It seemed they were preparing to relocate.
A long line of trucks were also queued up on the perimeter of the camp, loading up everyone's important belongings.
It appeared that the wizard had everything prepared, and now that Kadoge was confirmed dead, he swiftly mobilized all the preparations.
Chen Yu rested for a few days, helping the herders load their belongings, then followed them on their journey to Mount Augus.
"You really are at ease! According to the plan, we can't stay here long; we need to move to the next place! Why do you still want to go back to Mount Augus with them? Is our business here done?"
Chen Yu lay on the truck with a straw in his mouth.
"Indeed, it's basically done. Before leaving, through that wizard, I sent a message to all the wizards of the Lakato Family, detailing our situation here. It won't be long before these wizards lead the members of their respective factions to Mount Augus."
Although Jin Lingsu understood some of the key points, he didn't quite grasp why Chen Yu was doing this.
"Are you so certain that all the wizards will obediently follow through?"
Chen Yu laughed twice but said nothing more.
In his view, all the wizards were, to some extent, brainwashed by religious culture, always intending to truly unite the entire Lakato Family in the name of the Old Man of the Mountain.
Now that there was such an opportunity, how could they possibly let it slip by?
The convoy traveled for ten days and finally arrived at the foot of Mount Augus.
But when they got there, they found that some modified off-road vehicles had been added around the perimeter of the sacred mountain.
Each vehicle was equipped with huge weapons, and a large number of people were gathered in the small town outside the mountain.
Moreover, at the foot of Mount Augus, an extremely strange flag had been planted.
