Chapter 546: Chapter 512: What else can I say? Whatever I say is wrong
The Sovereign of the Land of Light, Kaine, is not in good health and has long since retired behind the scenes to enjoy his later years...
The reason why his son, Tielo, has not yet ascended the throne seems to be related to a secret of the Land of Light. He once made a vow that unless he slays a person who had a connection with his late mother, he would never inherit the throne.
So currently...
Crown Prince Tielo remains just a prince in status, but essentially everyone knows that although he is a prince, he exercises the authority of regency, no different from the Sovereign.
At this three-nation meeting, Tielo’s personal presence was no different from the Sovereign’s personal involvement.
According to the rules...
Each person may only bring two guards into the meeting.
Tielo briefly introduced the names of the two guards behind him.
Captain Zophie of the Guard, and guard member Ace.
The sense of déjà vu was so strong that Xu Lingjun almost couldn’t help but recognize them on the spot.
Behind the sovereign of the Baoxue Empire, Anduin, followed Carlos and another Grandmaster Level member introduced as Tulayang.
Both were at the Grandmaster Realm, silent and quietly following Anduin.
Behind Han Xu Yang...
Followed Xu Lingjun and another Grandmaster Level expert who had been safeguarding the Imperial Family for many years, Yun Che. According to Han Xu Yang’s introduction, Yun Che was very powerful and had been a Guiyuan Grandmaster for many years, only a step away from the Creation Realm.
Yet, it was precisely this step that had hindered him for a full thirty years.
And now, he was unable to make any further progress.
Nine individuals entered the fortress and were promptly sealed within.
The specially constructed fortress could even withstand the impact of a nuclear explosion.
After all, with the leaders of Blue Star gathered in one place, if they were wiped out by a Secret Realm or the mysterious races of the heavens, it could lead to chaos or even the brink of extinction for Blue Star. Naturally, they had to be careful and cautious.
With the sealing.
The three sovereigns took their seats.
The other five guards wore grave expressions, alertly watching each other, clearly fearing that the other side might suddenly erupt in attack.
Only Xu Lingjun maintained a laid-back demeanor.
But in reality.
No one noticed that Xiaoya, sitting on Xu Lingjun’s shoulder, maintained a motionless posture, resembling a figurine, except this figurine’s gaze was fixed on Carlos and Tulayang.
Clearly, ever since they knew Carlos was likely a modified being...
The most perplexing question in Xu Lingjun’s mind...
Was how many such modified beings as Carlos were out there.
Though few entered this fortress, Tulayang was an excellent subject for detection.
"Let’s begin."
Anduin, as the initiator of this meeting, naturally took the lead.
With a displeased look, he said, "The Baoxue Empire has always been at peace and friendly with its allies, and I really don’t understand why Xia Country and the Land of Light reacted so intensely. We merely conducted a military parade, and the reason we deviated from the Baoxue Empire was simply because we were worried about the weapon’s power being too great, affecting the Baoxue Empire’s internal ecosystem, which is why we conducted a weapon test and parade beside the Secret Realm."
Saying this, Anduin paused slightly and looked at Tielo.
Clearly...
The reaction from the Land of Light was much more intense than that of the Great Xia Empire.
Thus, his main focus this time was on Tielo, asking, "Crown Prince Tielo, did our Baoxue Empire’s actions cause you any misunderstanding, leading to such a big reaction?"
"Good question."
Tielo sneered, "From King Anduin’s words, it seems as though these weapons were aimed at the Secret Realm?"
"Indeed, if we’re testing weapons, we can’t very well do so on the territory of any of our three countries. The Secret Realm is the best choice..."
"But why do I feel that if not for the timely response of our Land of Light’s guard team, these weapons’ ultimate direction would have deviated towards our Land of Light?"
Tielo sneered, "King Anduin, you truly have a noble demeanor, being caught red-handed yet still looking so composed... It seems you’ve long prepared an explanation in your heart, no?"
"An explanation? What should I explain?"
Anduin couldn’t help but be taken aback, realizing something was amiss...
"Humph, an explanation for the origins of those weapons that suddenly appeared within our Land of Light’s borders!"
Tielo raised his hand, and behind him, Ace handed over a stack of photos.
He said, "King Anduin, please take a good look."
Anduin skeptically took the photos and only looked at the top one.
And his pupils involuntarily contracted.
On the photo, the background was a bustling city, and the camera’s focal point was apparently on a turret with a sleek, futuristic sci-fi design. Though the side of the turret was obscured, close scrutiny revealed remnants of the Baoxue Empire’s emblem.
Only now, the emblem had been scraped off, lending an air of ugliness to the originally flamboyant weapon, much like a stunning beauty with a band-aid stuck on her face.
However you looked at it, it felt awkward...
Anduin, Carlos, and others all had their pupils contract.
Carlos, disregarding any sense of hierarchy, rushed forward, flipping through the second photo, the third...
Undoubtedly, the items in these dozens of photos were all quite similar, featuring various of Baoxue Empire’s latest weapons, each with significant firepower capable of causing major damage even to Level 8 or 9 Exotic Beasts.
But now...
