Chapter 520 - 518: Survivors

Miles away from Sheng Mei, Tie Xiong and the others still wore expressions of shock on their faces.

They had also witnessed the explosion just moments ago.

It even made their eardrums ache from the impact.

"Whoa! That was some explosion..."

"If we had stayed where we were, we’d all have been candidates for the Corpse Refining Furnace!"

Li Xun patted his chest, still shaken.

"What was that explosion just now all about?"

"They knew we were still dealing with that monster, how could they dare to just drop a bomb?"

Tie Shanshan furrowed her brow in anger.

From the power of that explosion, if they had stayed there, today next year would have been the anniversary of their deaths.

"With the Talan military’s capabilities and resources, they probably don’t have bombs of such power!"

At this moment, Feng Kan, who rarely spoke, frowned and said.

"Indeed!"

The burly Yu Chen nodded in agreement and added, "If the Talan military had such powerful bombs, they’d have just bombed that monster to death without needing our help."

"Then who could have dropped this bomb?"

A scar-faced Sun Cong asked in confusion.

The few looked at each other, unable to come up with a reasonable answer.

At this time, Tie Xiong wasn’t participating in the group’s discussion.

He was sitting cross-legged on the ground, tightly holding the Evil Ghost statue.

His consciousness once again entered that dark space, and the voice of the girl in the red dress echoed in his ears.

"Tie Xiong, my cultivation hasn’t fully recovered. I can save you once or twice, but I can’t always save you."

"I hope you will be more vigilant in the future and not make such mistakes again..."

Lu Heng said slowly.

He hadn’t expected that the Eagle Country military would be so ruthless, directly dropping such a large bomb.

Thankfully, he had seen it coming and was prepared.

As the bomb was being dropped and about to explode, he used the Illusion Realm Talisman for cover and instantly moved Tie Xiong and the others out of the blast zone.

Otherwise, this tool he had painstakingly crafted would have been blown to ash.

"Thank you, Blood Spirit Master, for saving my life!"

Tie Xiong expressed his gratitude sincerely.

He never expected that there would be forces attempting to ambush him.

If it hadn’t been for the sudden intervention of the girl in the red dress, all six of them would have perished in the explosion.

"Be more careful in the future!"

Lu Heng gave another reminder before sending Tie Xiong back to reality.

"Sigh!"

Upon opening his eyes, Tie Xiong couldn’t help but sigh.

Thinking of his current achievements, all thanks to the girl in the red dress.

Moreover, if it hadn’t been for her, he wouldn’t have been able to find his daughter.

And now, her life-saving grace this time...

It could be said, the girl in the red dress was truly his benefactor!

Yet he hadn’t followed her instructions and instead turned to the arms of the Religious Affairs Bureau.

Wasn’t such conduct utterly shameless?

"Dad, you’re awake!"

Seeing Tie Xiong open his eyes, Tie Shanshan immediately ran over.

"Mm!"

Tie Xiong gently nodded.

Looking at his precious daughter before him, he couldn’t help but think: "It’s good to be alive!"

"Dad, your... Blood Spirit Master? Did she say who tried to bomb us?"

Tie Shanshan asked curiously.

"She didn’t say!"

Tie Xiong shook his head and explained softly: "She just reminded me to be extra careful!"

"Uncle Tie, what should we do next?"

At this moment, Li Xun also walked over.

"Call Consul General Fu!"

"Tell Consul General Fu everything we just experienced..."

After pondering for a moment, Tie Xiong replied seriously.

This time, coming to Sheng Mei represented Dragon Country, yet they were nearly bombed to death.

The hidden mastermind in the shadows didn’t give Dragon Country any face at all.

This matter not only concerned his life but also the face of Dragon Country as a whole.

So, they had to truthfully inform Consul General Fu of their previous experiences.

"Okay! I’ll call Consul General Fu right away!"

Hearing this, Li Xun nodded immediately.

Then he took out his phone and dialed Consul General Fu’s number.

Consul General Fu was still on his way to Banco.

When he received Li Xun’s call and learned that Tie Xiong and the others were nearly bombed to death, his anger was beyond words.

Tie Xiong and the others represented Dragon Country, yet someone dared to use a bomb to silence them!

This was simply disregarding Dragon Country!

At the same time, Consul General Fu sensed that this matter wasn’t as simple as it seemed on the surface.

The mastermind behind dropping the bomb, intending to kill Tie Xiong and the others, was likely not Talan.

For one, neither the Talan government nor its military would have the guts to attack Tie Xiong and the others.

Secondly, the Talan military didn’t have the capability.

The bomb described by Li Xun, with such power, wasn’t something the Talan military could develop or possess.

This wasn’t belittling the Talan military; it was a fact!

If the Talan military possessed such a high-powered bomb, why would they be ridden over by monsters?

Why would they lose face and seek help from countries like Eagle Country and Ox Country?

Wait a minute...

Eagle Country?

Could this conspiracy be the work of Eagle Country?

Why didn’t he consider Ox Country?

Because Ox Country’s military strength has significantly declined recently.

Its overseas bases have largely been taken over by Eagle Country.

If Ox Country were the mastermind, a plane carrying the bomb would have to take off from its homeland...

So that’s simply impossible!

But Eagle Country is different.

Ox Country used to have a base in Singa.

This base, over ten years ago, was fully taken over by Eagle Country.

Singa borders Talan; flying from there to Sheng Mei would be easy and simple.

After simple reasoning, Consul General Fu focused his suspicion on Eagle Country as the mastermind.

But the question also arose... why would Eagle Country do this?

If they killed Tie Xiong and the others, it would be tearing the face with Dragon Country.

Is it really worth it?

As Consul General Fu pondered, a flash of insight suddenly burst in his mind.

If Tie Xiong and the others were indeed bombed to death, it would be a significant loss for Dragon Country.

But for Eagle Country, it might be good news, right?

After all, before this, Eagle Country, Ox Country, and several other countries had sent diplomatic notes, hoping to jointly research the origin and application of Extraordinary Abilities with Dragon Country.

Among them, they particularly emphasized getting Tie Xiong to join their experiments.

This was plainly asking Tie Xiong to become a guinea pig for their research, wasn’t it?

Dragon Country saw through their intention and directly rejected the diplomatic notes from Eagle Country and Ox Country on this matter.

Now, considering the bombing of Tie Xiong and the others, perhaps Eagle Country had been eyeing Tie Xiong for a long time.

If they can’t have it, they’ll destroy it!

If I can’t have something, you shouldn’t even think about having it either...
