Under the gaze of Wanchong Mountain and Xiyue, Lin Yi slowly drifted toward the center of the pool.
With a gentle wave of Lin Yiâs hand, a large number of upper, middle, and lower-class Dragon Crystals from his personal space transformed into beams of different colors, eagerly flowing into the Cloud Pattern Golden Egg.
Under his manipulation, the golden egg in the pool began to stir.
At first, there was a barely perceptible tremor, and then, a dense pattern of cracks spread across the golden dragon egg.
The next moment, a golden beam of light shot into the sky.
The dazzling golden eggshell, under the impact of the light beam, flew in all directions, transforming into star-like fragments that scattered across the ground.
Powerful energy waves radiated from the center of the dragon egg, reverberating through the surrounding space with such force that everything hummed ominously.
As the brilliant glow faded, the evening breeze gently brushed by.
A young dragon covered in golden scales appeared before the three of them.
Perhaps because this noble little life opened his eyes to see Lin Yi, or maybe it was the scent of Ao Xuan on Lin Yi.
After a soft murmur, the little creature flew onto Lin Yiâs shoulder, affectionately nuzzling Lin Yiâs face with its head.
This humane behavior from little Ao Shu stirred a warmth within Lin Yi, prompting him to reach out and lift the little oneâs chin.
"Little one, your name is Ao Shu, given by your mother. Do you like it~"
Thousands of miles away, in a corner of the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Realms, the eerie wind wailed incessantly, like a mourning dirge.
The vast battlefield lay strewn with various mechanical parts and countless severed limbs.
Sporadic flames flickered in rhythmic patterns.
It was not difficult to see that this place had just undergone a fierce battle.
Not only did the Blue Star humans suffer heavy casualties, but the raiders from other realms also paid a significant price.
Nine professional fighters from Xia Country stared at the somewhat familiar limbs before them, their eyes burning red.
Then one of the rougher-looking warriors picked up his weapon and slashed furiously toward the Beautiful Country professional fighters beside him.
"Damn you guys!"
"Why did you run away? If you had fought to the death, no one would have died today!"
"Donât you believe in heroism?"
"Is this the heroism you preach? Everyone on the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Realms is a teammateâhow dare you do this!"
Seeing his teammateâs sword about to strike the Beautiful Country professional fighterâs head, Yin Tiger, one of the Xia War Gods, quickly reached out and caught the blade.
Yin Tigerâs face, covered with fur, appeared grimly dark.
Yet he couldnât lose his temper.
He knew well that evidence was crucial for everything.
How could anyone prove that the Beautiful Country professionals teamed up with Chu Xi to fight were truly abandoning their teammates on purpose?
Moreover, the rules set by the Blue Star Professional Alliance included a clause on timely loss mitigation.
When situations exceed control, when enemies become unexpectedly powerful and insurmountable, the alliance allows professionals to abandon missions and escape the battlefield if possible.
Currently, including Chu Xi, six Xia professionals have died in the blocking mission.
As a rule, the harshness of the battlefield is well known.
Professionals from Xia should not be losing their composure over their compatriotsâ death.
Yet, since all six Beautiful Country professionals on the same mission survived and fled, what can be said?
No wonder Xia professionals were so upset.
Clearly, it wasnât merely a common mission failure.
Chu Xi and his group were undoubtedly stabbed in the back by Beautiful Country professionals on the battlefield.
Ask the reason?
Most likely, it relates to the failure in the Nibelungen Dungeon.
"Li, donât be too impulsive; without evidence, they are innocent!"
"Do you want to put our country at odds with the entire world?"
Yin Tigerâs words made the impulsive ninth-level warrior droop.
"But, but Lord Yin Tiger, the situation is so obvious!"
"If it wasnât their backstabbing, why did all their people return alive...."
Yin Tigerâs face darkened further.
Helplessly, he punched his companion in the abdomen, sending the speaking warrior collapsing to the ground.
"Li, as Iâve said, the Blue Star Professional Alliance is an evidence-oriented organization; you canât convict people based on your feelings, donât mention things like that again in the future."
"We canât disrupt the harmony of the battlefield."
Yin Tigerâs stance made several Beautiful Country professionals burst into laughter.
"Haha, Yin Tiger War God lives up to being a pillar of Xiaâwhether in demeanor or fairness, thereâs nothing to criticize."
"Youâre right; weâre all teammates on this Battlefield of Ten Thousand Realms, whether itâs national enmity or familial hatred, they should be put aside, shouldnât they?"
"Weâre deeply saddened by the death of our Xia teammates, and at the same time, weâre deeply grateful."
The six escaping Beautiful Country professionals squeezed out excessively dramatic expressions of sorrow and gratitude toward Chu Xi and his group of six.
"If it werenât for the brothers of Xia, how could we possibly escape alive to seek allied support, we...."
Seeing the Beautiful Countryâs hypocrites about to utter more grandiose words, Yin Tiger unhesitatingly revealed his sharp claws.
"Alright, thatâll do."
"Since we canât find any evidence to prove any wrongdoing, let this matter be shelved~"
How could Yin Tiger not see the inconsistencies within?
He simply knew well that no evidence could be found on this battlefield.
Continuing this would only tarnish Xiaâs reputation; avenging the fallen compatriots could only be pursued by alternative means in the future.
After the six Beautiful Country professionals pretentiously thanked, they turned to leave.
At the moment they turned, a sly smile appeared on their faces.
Having successfully avenged so many Xia professionals, including the Shenxiao student, they could barely suppress inner joy and nearly burst into ecstatic laughter.
However, what they hadnât anticipated was that the Shenxiao student they had personally wounded and thrown into the pile of the aberration in the other world could still emerge alive.
Watching the Beautiful Country professionals depart, Yin Tigerâs fists clenched tightly, audibly.
How could he not be angry?
The burdens he bore were too many, trapping him too tightly!
Just as the Xia professionals prepared to collect the bodies of fallen comrades, a voice familiar to everyone present resonated across the battered battlefield sky.
"Hehe, arenât you looking for evidence?"
"Then how about I become the evidence myself?!"
Turning to the source of the voice, a human figure formed from thin air.
The six Beautiful Country professionals, eyes wide in shock, hadnât yet exclaimed before black thorns burst from their bodies, riddling them with holes and killing them on the spot.
