Matrix Survival: I Get A Random Chest Every Day-Chapter 858 - 617: Phoenix Mountain Appears

"I just heard them say that the wife of that guy, Phoenix Mountain, died. Aren't you taking him for revenge this time?"

Mirel's voice, slightly husky since adulthood, was a standard sultry tone, extremely enticing when she spoke.

To put it simply, it was incredibly seductive.

"Let's give him some time to cool down." Li Zheng thought it would be easy to find Phoenix Mountain, and the Terminal would not refuse such a trivial request.

But he understood Phoenix Mountain's temperament. If he took him along, once they faced those enemies, that boy might disregard his own safety and fight recklessly.

"Time heals all wounds; there's no hurdle that can't be crossed." Li Zheng had already transmitted to channel 9595996, and the Terminal had set the location here.

Mirel nodded. She had brought it up casually, and didn't care whether Li Zheng took Phoenix Mountain or not.

"Before we go, help me craft a higher-quality Long Whip." Mirel stopped Li Zheng, who was about to teleport again: "The previous whips were too fragile and no longer suitable for me; it'd be best to get me a Star Shining Level one."

Li Zheng hesitated for a moment: "Alright, anyway they're stuck there and can't go anywhere. It doesn't take much time to make a weapon, so I'm not in a rush. I'll take you to find the materials."

At this moment, someone had realized something was wrong and attempted to use the Space Jumping Device to leave, but failed.

Others tried to find the metal door in the room, but found nothing.

Li Zheng thought for a moment and casually posted a broadcast on the world channel: "Did you hear that I was dead?"

Just one sentence, and it stirred up a tremendous wave among the players.

Players watching the live stream noticed that once Li Zheng's announcement went out, the faces of tens of thousands of people changed.

Those not belonging to the two main legions of Nihong Country were first suspicious, then became extremely furious upon seeing Li Zheng's avatar.

The leaders of the Four Legions sought out the top-level leadership of Creation and High Celestial Plain, pointing at them angrily: "Didn't you confirm Li Zheng was dead and say you found his body and Identity Card!? Then who's that on the world channel now?"

The Commander of the Creation Legion was 'Abe Akizo', the youngest minister of the shogunate in Nihong Country, only forty-five this year, with a status second only to the young emperor of the High Celestial Plain.

Abe Akizo showed no panic in the face of the accusation: "At the time, several commanders verified that the Identity Card information did confirm it was indeed Li Zheng. We didn't expect it belonged to a player with the same name.

You all willingly joined the Starting Point Attack Alliance back then. Now that he's back, do you regret it?"

"Now it's too late for regret." The young emperor laughed from the side: "In Li Zheng's eyes, our Six Great Legions are like grasshoppers tied to the same rope. If he wants to kill, he'll drag us all with him.

Let's not forget that amidst those killed from the Starting Point Legion, there were actions taken by you all as well.

Commander Cheng, I remember you chasing after Starting Point Legion members the day before yesterday, only for them to escape in the end?"

Cheng Tianpu's face turned ashen: "That's because you lied to me! You said Li Zheng was already dead!"

The young emperor's eyes flashed with contempt: "Stop using that excuse. We've already explained, and repeating it further only makes others question your intellect."

Jin Binghuan, standing behind Cheng Tianpu, whispered: "Boss, perhaps we could redeem ourselves?"

His voice was not loud, but everyone present heard it clearly; apart from Creation and High Celestial Plain's leadership, the other four legion members' eyes changed.

The atmosphere became tense, so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Abe Akizo's eyes shifted: "You don't think merely redeeming yourselves will earn Starting Point Legion and Li Zheng's forgiveness, do you? The enmity of hunting down Starting Point Legion members is a death feud; you'd better be psychologically prepared, don't be naïve."

"That's not necessarily true." The commander of the Throne of the Gods was a middle-aged man nearing fifty. Like Cheng Tianpu, he was a Merchant before entering the Matrix, though he had political connections behind him.

Previously, it was he who had sanctioned Throne of the Gods to join Creation and other legions in besieging Li Zheng. He knew a bit about Li Zheng.

"As far as I know, although Li Zheng is vengeful and seemingly merciless, he's actually soft-hearted." He spoke eloquently: "Think about it. Previously he managed to move back and forth across several channels repeatedly in one day, suggesting he has some sort of reusable jumping device in his possession. If it were me, I'd have rather put in more effort to fight High Celestial Plain and Creation to the end, killing off all their members.

But Li Zheng didn't do that; instead, he made a spectacle, killed a few people, then stopped. In the East, there's an idiom, 'killing the chicken to scare the monkey.'

The chicken may have been killed, but once Butcher disappeared, the monkeys couldn't hold back from jumping back out."

The young emperor's expression turned icy: "Who are you calling a monkey?"

"Those who fit the bill, I'm talking about them."

"You!"

"Enough! We have a common enemy right now, what's the point of arguing?" The Amazon War God's commander stepped in to mediate: "In the end, the grudge between us and Li Zheng is irreconcilable, especially after previous experience. If Li Zheng hadn't been soft-hearted initially, the subsequent pursuit and killing of the Starting Point Legion members wouldn't have happened, so this time he will surely leave no room for future issues!"

"Our only option is to unite, gather all our strength to oppose him! Not shirk responsibility here, hoping for a chance to escape Li Zheng's grasp."

"Oppose?!" Cheng Tianpu sneered: "Your legion didn't even make the top twenty, Li Zheng might not even remember you before he left, so what gives you the audacity to speak of opposing him? Your hard head?"

The Amazon War God's commander was bald, with a forehead made of alloy, shining brightly.

This was due to an injury while exploring that exposed his brain to the air; he fortunately encountered a human modification station before dying, which replaced his forehead bone.

So Cheng Tianpu calling him hard-headed wasn't a joke but a fact.

The New Century Legion's commander, a woman in her thirties with short hair and an androgynous look, dressed in a priest-like garb, called herself the Bishop.

Originally, there was no enmity between Li Zheng and them, but some friction occurred during a fishing competition, leaving resentment.

For this alliance, Abe Akizo and the young emperor didn't invite her; instead, she looked for them herself, wanting to join. During the attack on the Starting Point Legion, she was the third most proactive. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

The Bishop stated in a solemn voice: "This time the Terminal brought our legions together, likely because Li Zheng acted behind the scenes, but it's also his biggest blunder! Don't forget, combined we number in the tens of thousands, the odds of him succeeding are slim."

"Ha." Cheng Tianpu scoffed: "Clearly you don't understand Li Zheng deeply, or you'd never say such a thing."

In Stealing Country, the New Century is a cult. As someone from the same nation, Cheng Tianpu despised the Bishop's actions; while the two houses hadn't officially clashed, there were many minor skirmishes behind the scenes resulting in severe injuries.

They had restraint and had never gone for the kill.

The Bishop responded with a cold laugh: "It looks like Li Zheng has scared you witless, even less guts than a woman like me."

"A woman?" Cheng Tianpu feigned surprise: "Isn't that your sexual orientation?"

"You looking to die?!" The Bishop glared at him in anger.

"Stop arguing, someone's coming." Abe Akizo suddenly turned to look in a certain direction, where the air began to ripple and then a figure emerged.

"The bombs of Nihong."

Phoenix Mountain appeared haggard, eyes bloodshot, his messy hair seemed unwashed for days, he bellowed: "Come face your death!"
