Chapter 666: Chapter 84: Transfer
Ji Xin sat back in the wheelchair, then glanced at the beach almost dyed red with blood. But she only looked for a moment before quickly withdrawing her gaze and said, "He Fu, Zhu Jun, stay and wrap things up. Everyone else, move with me immediately to the Imperial Capital."
Upon hearing this.
The other Celestial Strategy members quickly gathered themselves, came to Ji Xin’s side, and took out the Shrinking Earth Talismans they received before departure, their expressions complex.
In fact.
It was only this morning, just before they set off, that they learned they would be coming to Chuituo Beach.
And not just one or two of them, but nearly all the Celestial Strategy members.
Many actually disagreed with Ji Xin’s extreme allocation of combat power, but she insisted on it and informed them about the existence of the Shrinking Earth Talismans, so they reluctantly agreed to leave Tang Language, Xiang Yi, and Chen Lusi in the Imperial Capital.
Because if the Imperial Capital really couldn’t hold, they would be notified for rescue.
But until this moment... there was no news from the Imperial Capital.
Although in a sense, Ji Xin’s judgment wasn’t wrong; the Roman Catholic Church was indeed more daring than expected.
In fact.
The invaders were more than just two Holy Coffin Knights... there were numerous Inquisition judges trailing behind, and all these Inquisition judges were mad dogs, with none being normal, whether in character or authority ability, all were terrifyingly twisted.
This, combined with the group of Advanced Empowerers from Mujin New Church and Ise Jingu... if it weren’t for the fact that there were enough Celestial Strategy members at Chuituo Beach this time, and it was really just two or three Celestial Strategy members fighting the Holy Coffin Knights... the casualties would have been severe, and it couldn’t have been stopped.
But the problem is.
There are no issues here.
What about the Imperial Capital?
Almost an hour has passed.
Completely no message at all.
This is terrible.
"...We should have left another two Celestial Strategy members in the Imperial Capital."
Xiang Zai Celestial Strategy with a full beard thought of this, grumbled, "If things over there fail, or can’t hold, the problem will be bigger."
"...Indeed."
Sima Zhi glanced at Ji Xin, then looked toward the direction of the Imperial Capital, his face somewhat grim, "It’s been so long with no news, could it have already... completely fallen? Or even captured..."
Xu Zi’s expression also turned unpleasant: "Ji Xin, the Roman Catholic Church is acting crazy, so crazed on this side of the invasion, one can imagine the trial scene over there, especially since you said there’s Roman Church’s Holy Coffin Knights occupying Kunlun Pantheon; leaving only three people under such circumstances, and one of them is Tang Language, isn’t that too..."
He didn’t finish.
But everyone knew what he wanted to say.
... Is it too trusting of Chen Lusi?
Although the action at that meeting let everyone know that the new third squad Celestial Strategy member, was indeed not to be trifled with.
But he is not Xia Yue after all!
How can combat power be allocated like this, how can it be gambled this way?
So long without any news... actually signifies that the worst possible outcome might have already occurred.
And the words of the three.
In some sense, also represented the sentiments of all the Celestial Strategy members.
During the battle, there was no time to think, but now that it’s over, it’s different.
So long without a message.
And this battle’s duration was much longer than expected.
Everyone felt that the worst might have happened, hence their faces were somewhat unsightly, filled with worries.
"This isn’t something you should be worrying about."
Hearing this, Ji Xin pressed her red lips together, then shook her head and said, "Instead of talking about this, we might as well start the transfer sooner."
Upon hearing this.
The other Celestial Strategy members finally stopped the idle talk.
Because regardless of everything.
Saying anything at this point was too late.
Everyone picked up their talismans.
Then, all of them turned into wisps of blue smoke and vanished on the spot, leaving only He Fu and Zhu Jun behind to wrap up, watching them leave with concern.
...
At the same time.
The northern hills of the Imperial Capital, Taishi Village.
The trial continued.
Except now.
The arrogant defendant was no longer arrogant.
And the courtroom, which was somewhat solemn before, was now a bit... chaotic.
But overall, the situation wasn’t too bad.
At least no one was obstructing the prosecution anymore, and no peculiar individuals appeared again.
This allowed the Chief Judge to breathe a sigh of relief.
However, just as this thought arose.
Thud—
Outside the door.
The sound of dense landings suddenly echoed.
Most of the Celestial Strategy from the Celestial Strategy Mansion, led by Ji Xin, descended upon the courtroom entrance.
Just as they descended... Sima Zhi’s gaze tightened, and he saw the mess in the conference room not far away, his face changed dramatically, just about to shout out but noticed a pair of clear eyes gazing at him.
"Ah—"
Tang Language let out a short exclamation upon seeing Ji Xin and others.
Sima Zhi slowly shifted his gaze and found Tang Language unharmed, looking briefly stunned, then he noticed no movement from all the surrounding Celestial Strategy members.
He strangely looked around, finally understanding why.
Because he finally saw the jerky-like Hecate, the panicked Wu Bin, and... Qi Peng’s head behind.
"..."
He looked at Qi Peng, whose eyes wouldn’t close in death, his pupils shrunk suddenly, and his breathing stopped abruptly.
