Chapter 545: Chapter 511: Are You Overreacting?_2
Anyway, what he needed to do was to strive for as much time as possible.
Even to the point where the Baoxue Empire could no longer act against the Secret Realm...
The longer they held out,
The greater the benefits they could acquire.
But this way...
After having a deep conversation with Tairuo, Han Xu Yang, upon his return, dispatched someone close to him and whispered a few commands.
The person respectfully obeyed and then swiftly turned and left.
Meanwhile,
Xu Lingjun received a reply from Zhanzheng Academy.
The letter was handwritten by Wang Qingya herself...
But it contained not a trace of longing, instead, it was full of serious content.
Ji Roufeng curiously observed Xu Lingjun holding and reading Wang Qingya’s letter for a long time and asked, "What did Sister Yaya say in the letter?"
"Nothing much, it’s just that the research I asked her to help with previously has made progress."
Xu Lingjun sighed deeply and said, "Sorry, Feng’Er, I might not have time to accompany you."
"It’s okay, you go ahead with your work. Now that things are done, I’m planning to leave too."
Ji Roufeng smiled and said, "Actually, my visit this time was quite unnecessary. Li Lei alone would have been enough, but I missed you, so I took this opportunity to come and accompany you... Being by your side these past few days has already made me very content."
"Alright, once things are done here, I’ll go to the Sun and Moon Bright Sect to see you."
Xu Lingjun smiled and said, "Then I’ll openly propose to the Sect Leader of Tomorrow."
"Alright, I’ll wait for you."
Ji Roufeng held Xu Lingjun’s hand, seriousness written all over her face.
Seeing off Ji Roufeng and Li Lei together...
Then, Xu Lingjun immediately said to Xiaoqing, who was always by his side: "Jun Qing, go call Old City to see me. Tell him it’s something very important."
"Yes."
Jun Qing quickly left.
A moment later.
Han Yun City hurriedly rushed over, looking very fatigued... Clearly, he had been extremely busy during this period.
Since Xu Lingjun needed to focus on cultivation techniques, no one dared to disturb him. Thus, Han Yun City took it upon himself to handle all the work.
Indeed, whoever dared to disturb Xu Lingjun, he would kill them...
These were his straightforward words to the members of the Baoyan Army Legion.
His first words upon arrival were...
"So, how’s the matter with the cultivation technique?"
"Cultivation technique? What cultivation technique?"
Xu Lingjun was taken aback and replied in confusion.
"Don’t tell me you’ve been so distracted by that little girl that you’ve forgotten about the cultivation technique?"
Seeing Han Yun City’s face instantly about to explode with anger, Xu Lingjun immediately realized what was happening and quickly said, "How could that be, how could that be... The cultivation technique, of course, I remember, almost there, just a few more days... But now, there’s an unexpected situation."
"What unexpected situation?"
"Carlos’s blood!"
Xu Lingjun said seriously, "About half a month ago, I sent Carlos’s blood back to Zhanzheng Academy, and now, there’s a result."
"What are the results?!"
Seeing Xu Lingjun’s expression, Han Yun City seemed to have realized something and asked.
"According to Sister Yaya’s description in the letter, Carlos’s blood no longer contains any blood cells, meaning that although his blood looks fresh, in reality, apart from its color, it has nothing similar to fresh blood."
Xu Lingjun said, "Now, Carlos can’t even be considered a carbon-based life form; at best, he’s a silicon-based life form!"
Han Yun City asked, "Turtle-based?"
"It’s silicon-based."
Xu Lingjun shook his head and said, "Explaining in too much detail, you wouldn’t understand, but let me put it this way: because of the anaerobic nature of silicon-based lifeforms, it’s impossible for silicon-based life to naturally evolve in a place like Blue Star, which is filled with oxygen."
"So this is technology from the Mysterious races of the heavens?"
Han Yun City sighed in relief and said, "Previously, it was just a hypothesis, but now that it’s confirmed, I’m not surprised at all."
"In detail, Sister Yaya hopes I can capture a sample for them to thoroughly study, as we need to determine whether this technology was developed by the Baoxue Empire itself or given by the Mysterious races of the heavens proactively."
Han Yun City said speechlessly, "Does this even need verification?"
"We need evidence."
Xu Lingjun shook his head and said, "If the Baoxue Empire truly collaborated with the Mysterious races of the heavens, then we must take control of the Desperate Great Wall; otherwise, no matter how substantial the expansion of the Polar Star Battlefield, it would all be meaningless."
"In that case, the timing is just right. My father recently sent me a message, saying they intercepted the Baoxue Empire’s attempt to conduct a large-scale bombing on the Secret Realm, and told me to use this as a favor-pushing with the Ancient Tree."
Han Yun City glanced at Xu Lingjun.
Xu Lingjun nodded, saying, "From the looks of it, I might as well take this chance to make a trip and see just how many silicon-based life forms the Baoxue Empire possesses."
"And the matter of the cultivation technique..."
"I’ll hand it over to you when we meet."
Xu Lingjun said, "But right now, the affairs within the Secret Realm..."
"Leave it to me, I have experience leading soldiers in battle, and I’m leading the most elite forces which have been well coordinated due to your recent delegation... With such a team, I can win a hundred battles!"
Han Yun City sneered, "With my father around, they can’t conduct large-scale attacks from the outside, but if they dare to enter, I’ll make sure as many come in as perish."
"Remember not to expose your identity."
Xu Lingjun advised, "The Clawed Dart, Cold Whip, and Iron Blood Mask I left with you, make sure to keep them safe. Don’t face those warriors of the Baoxue Empire with your real identity!"
"Understood."
"No time to waste, I’ll be on my way now!"
"Alright, be careful on the road..."
Just as he finished speaking, Han Yun City tapped his own mouth and sighed, "By now, perhaps no creation is your match? Just a few Spirit Stones made you transcend..."
"Do you know how long I’ve waited for these Spirit Stones?"
Xu Lingjun smiled and turned to leave, his figure quickly disappearing into the depths of the forest like a soaring rabbit.
As for Daxiong...
No need to take it along; it’s already bonded with Jun Qing, and this place is more suited to be its home.
In the blink of an eye, three days passed.
At the edge of the Secret Realm, where the three countries intersected.
The Three Lords were convening.
This was a phenomenally grand event.
Especially this time, as it was due to the parade held by the Baoxue Empire, which had sparked initial conflict. If not handled carefully, it could lead to a major war between the three countries... Clearly, this was something no one wanted.
Although Anduin’s initial intent was just to have a serious talk with Han Xu Yang and the Crown Prince of the Land of Light, Tairuo.
The identity of the three meant that this meeting would be anything but simple.
And so...
A sturdy fortress rose in those three days.
Each critical location within it was guarded jointly by soldiers from the Three Great Empires... Eliminating any possibility of accidents comprehensively.
And before the arrival of the Three Lords,
The surrounding area, within dozens of miles, was meticulously inspected with various facilities.
The perimeter was further surrounded by an army of over half a million.
The Three Great Empires, each equipped with their finest weapons...
Particularly the Great Xia Empire, whose towering and massive mecha among the weapons captivated everyone’s attention.
As artistically beautiful as they were, no one dared to doubt their power... Whether it was the gigantic cannons mounted on their backs or the swords attached to their bodies.
They all inspired awe and respect without even trying.
"Hahaha, it seems the technological advancements of the Great Xia Empire over these years have been tremendous. No wonder they’ve been defeating the Mysterious Clan’s forces at the Polar Star Battlefield so unanimously... What’s this... mecha, right? Not bad, really not bad, interested in selling, 4 billion per unit, I’ll buy!"
Anduin laughed heartily, taking the lead to stride towards Han Xu Yang and Tairuo.
But upon seeing them, he couldn’t help but feel a slight heaviness in his heart...
These two were standing together.
In international relations, even just a stance could reveal many issues.
Like now...
Anduin thought to himself, have I become the target of everyone’s arrows?
But what’s going on... I have designs, but I haven’t revealed anything yet, just brought some weapons through a ceremonial parade.
Is there really such a big reaction?
He frowned, instinctively sensing that there might be something important he had overlooked.
