He could clearly feel,
In the void, there was a powerful force descending, forcibly imposed on himself, forcibly imposed on the Tathagata Dharma Aspect,
A Dharma Aspect at the Great Sect level was forcibly elevated to the Innate Level!
In the Innate Realm, a casual strike could annihilate hundreds of miles.
At this moment.
Among the thirty-six aerospace ships, one by one, the Western Believers felt their scalps tingle, even two or three Upper Envoys at the Great Sect level were terrified!
"What kind of Dharma Aspect is this??" An Upper Envoy breathed heavily, looking shocked, the power of this Chen Qiusheng... far exceeded expectations!!
The incomplete Tathagata Dharma Aspect looked towards the thirty-six aerospace ships.
"Kill."
The voice of the Dharma Aspect, solemn, covered half of Chongyang City,
Chen Qiusheng found that the Dharma Aspect lost control, issuing a decree over the entire Chongyang City!
The heavens issued a killing intent!
In the next moment.
An elderly figure stood in front of the aerospace ships, enduring the killing intent from heaven and earth, coughing up blood, his flesh cracking, his expression shocked:
"Chen Qiusheng! What kind of evil technique have you practiced, which Evil Godâs favor have you obtained, such that you possess such power!"
Chen Qiusheng blankly stared at the almost dying... Hu Zhongli?
Huh?
It was at this moment he finally realized.
That force imposed on his Dharma Aspect.
Was actually from this old man.
What?
Wait a minute??
Chen Qiusheng was genuinely bewildered.
He saw Hu Zhongliâs gaze start to scatter, letting out a roar that echoed through Chongyang City:
"Even if I sacrifice this life, I will never allow such cultists to act recklessly!"
Chen Qiusheng looked at the dying Hu Zhongli, seeing him bleeding, and noticed that a drop happened to fall on his Dharma Aspect.
He saw his Tathagata Dharma Aspect being pierced by that blood drop.
The Dharma Aspect cracked.
Chen Qiusheng fell silent.
Hu Zhongli too was stunned for a moment, wiping the blood forced out from the corner of his mouth without changing his expression, sorrowful and angry:
"I will fight you to the end!"
"Having once been a Golden Legislator, I was long prepared to battle to the death with you cultists!"
"Though I am old, today I can still transcend!"
The âdyingâ old man ignited with brilliant light, he roared, he howled, burning himself with the resolve to die!
A terrifying aura enveloped the entire city, brilliant rays of light tens of kilometers long emanated from the old man,
With the rays, he charged like a meteor, crashing into the enormous Dharma Aspect!!
âWow!!â
Hu Zhongli deliberately turned his head, spit a large mouthful of blood into the air, and as soon as the blood left his body, it evaporated into mist.
The Dharma Aspect didnât budge.
Bringing up rays of light spanning hundreds of miles, the elderly man who made such a commotion crashed as if into a massive iron mountain, the light shattered.
"So.....so strong!"
The old manâs eyes rolled, plummeting in front of Chen Qiusheng with a smack.
"You, you..."
Chen Qiushengâs finger trembled, pointing at the unconscious Hu Zhongli in front of him, his lips shaking,
He saw âunconsciousâ Hu Zhongli lift his eyelids, glance at him, then quickly close his eyes.
Just that glance.
Chen Qiushengâs expression changed, his own Divine Realm cracked violently, the Dharma Aspect dissipated, appearing intact externally but inside all four furnace fires were extinguished, his flesh and organs shattered!
He was truly at deathâs door.
His legs were weak, about to collapse, but then someone jumped down from the aerospace ships:
"I will save you!"
Old Ghost Chai supported the immobile Chen Qiusheng, then leaped back onto the aerospace ship.
Upon taking off.
Chen Qiusheng struggled to turn his gaze sideways, glancing at his distant disciple nephew.
The disciple nephew smiled at him.
Why.....?
Chen Qiusheng did not understand, suddenly feeling a chill, Governor, Second Senior Brother, even that Elder Hu who unexpectedly broke the Innate Realm!
Why are they cooperating with Zhang Fusheng?
Zhang Fusheng.....who exactly is he?
He suddenly let out a miserable laugh.
The thirty-six aerospace ships turned direction, engines roared, and in the blink of an eye they had disappeared into the wilderness outside the city.
Leaving behind only the security building completely turned into rubble.
In the distance.
Zhang Fusheng emptied the bag of chips into his mouth, picked up the camera that had been sitting for a long time, and praised:
"Unworthy of Master Masterâs reputation, Tathagata Observation, indeed the top of the four Contemplation Techniques!"
"Tathagata Dharma Aspect indeed..."
He marveled softly, no need to mention anything else, a Dharma Aspect with one hand pointing to the sky and one hand touching the ground definitely looked supremely powerful.
Zhang Fusheng picked up his phone, dialed a number, issued a command:
"Cultist has fled into the wilderness, the danger remains unresolved."
"Now, announce to the outside world that the original second commander of the Military Department, Chen Qiusheng, has colluded with the evil cult and defected with three aerospace fleets, thirty thousand soldiers."
"Chongyang City enters a state of top-level alert, all airways canceled, non-essential will not accept any outlander visitors."
"Additionally, initiate a citywide purge, crack down on criminals, with a focus on cleaning the Lower Three DistrictsâI want to see peace restored."
On the other end, He Gaozhuoâs voice sounded:
"Yes! Director General!"
Zhang Fusheng leisurely put down the phone, stretched his lazy waist, he did everything he could.
Such tricks are easy to expose, as long as the Governor personally visits.
But will he come?
He canât come.
He still has to stay vigilant against the God of Plague, to prevent it from truly emerging from Jiangzhou.
Turning back, staring at Lin Shiquan whose face looked extremely unpleasant.
He asked playfully:
"Inspector Lin, speaking of..."
"Howâs that action squad?"
Lin Shiquan pursed his lips, gritted his teeth, and attempted to contact the action squad on his phone.
Only to hear a prolonged busy signal.
Lin Shiquanâs face turned slightly pale, clenching his teeth, he spoke word by word:
"The action squad is about to arrive, what exactly do you want to do!"
"Action squad..."
Zhang Fusheng glanced at him in a strange manner, walked over, and calmly asked:
"Our world, this planet, is just one giant bubble after another."
After a pause, he continued:
"For the action squad to come over...do they have to pass through the waiting area?"
Beads of sweat dripped down Lin Shiquanâs forehead; the pressure from this Director General before him was simply overwhelming.
"So what if it is?" he asked through gritted teeth.
Zhang Fusheng merely shook his head:
"Nothing much."
"Itâs just that they probably wonât make it here."
Lin Shiquanâs expression changed again, and a sense of dread filled his heart as he saw the young man smile and say:
"Take the honorable Inspector Lin away and look after him well."
Zhao Wenting, who had earlier seemed on the brink of death, walked over, unharmed and full of spirit, nodding his head.
Lin Shiquan was escorted away.
......
Golden City.
Lin Yusheng picked up the phone, his brows furrowed:
"What do you mean you canât leave?"
From the other end, came the bitter laugh of an operation team leader:
"Director, our thirty operation teams just arrived at the waiting area, only to be informed that a temporary travel ban is in placeâsaying that Chongyang City has requested all routes be closed."
Lin Yushengâs expression darkened:
"Chongyang City closed the routes, canât you just force your way through?"
On the other end, the team leader hesitated before continuing:
"Thatâs true, but our launch application was rejected by the waiting area."
âBang!â
Lin Yusheng slapped the table:
"What is Hu Zhongli trying to do? A rebellion?!"
After a couple of curses,
he took a deep breath and continued over the phone:
"Iâll apply for a special directive from the Governor, that damned Hu Zhongli, humph..."
Hanging up the phone, Lin Yushengâs brow remained tightly knit.
He had a nagging sense of foreboding.
Something seemed off.
Shaking his head, he didnât dwell on it, instead called the Governorâs office.
At the same time, at the waiting area.
The thirty aerospace ships, facing the firm stance of the waiting area, slowly moved out of the core range of the waiting area, entering the wilderness to wait.
"I think that Hu Zhongli is tired of living."
On the aerospace ship, thirty operation team leaders gathered, casually discussing.
Someone shook their head and said:
"A Golden Legislator, huh, the Federation indeed granted him that power, but doesnât he see what time it is now?"
Another Grandmaster chuckled:
"Hasnât Hu Zhongli never retaken the position of Legislator? Isnât the Golden Legislator in the waiting area that lucky little brat right now?"
Pausing, he continued:
"Do you think thereâs a chance that Hu Zhongli is doing this on purpose, issuing orders through that little bratâs hand, so if anything goes wrong, itâll be his responsibility....."
"Hey? Now that you mention it, that makes sense."
The operation team leaders laughed and chatted, though inexplicably targeted and troubled by the waiting area,
they werenât annoyed but rather pondering what to do when they reached Chongyang City?
One of the team leaders stroked his chin:
"Chongyang City is currently experiencing a large-scale riot, with an estimated five to eighty thousand rioters, which is quite little, spread across each of our teams, thatâs only two to three thousand people each."
The thirty Grandmasters exchanged glances.
In the Investigation Bureau, itâs a âmerit systemâ, the more rioters and cultists you eliminate, the more merit you gain.
And merit is crucial, allowing you to exchange for various items within the Investigation Bureau...
"Shall we stick to the old rules?"
One of the Grandmasters spoke calmly:
"One becomes three, three becomes ten?"
"Eighty thousand rioters...I think, it should be more like three hundred thousand."
The many Grandmasters exchanged looks and immediately agreed.
If there arenât enough bandits... weâll add some decent folk to make up.
In the war conference room, a lively atmosphere prevailed once more, as a team leader casually fiddled with a virtual sand table,
which simulated the environment around the aerospace ships in real-time.
He noticed a small moving dot on the virtual sand tableâindicating that not far from the space fleet in the wilderness, there was a traveler.
The Grandmaster casually pointed.
The secondary cannon fired.
âBoom!!â
On the distant wasteland, a huge fireball exploded.
"Merit gained by one." The Grandmaster laughed as he spoke, while the other team leaders laughed and shook their heads:
"It was just a passerby, and you converted it to merit, Old Xu, it has to be you, so heartless!"
"What do you mean by that? What are you saying?"
Old Xu, full of indignation, said:
"Decent citizen or rioter, I see them all as potential cultists. By preemptively striking cultists for a better tomorrow and the future of the Federation, how am I wrong?"
In the war conference room, laughter and curses echoed again.
"Somethingâs wrong!"
Suddenly, a team leaderâs voice became serious:
"Look at the sand table!"
All eyes turned to the projected virtual sand table,
on the sand table, the miniature projections of the thirty aerospace ships quietly hovered, and in the wilderness, amidst the fireball,
a small dot emerged.
"Not... not dead??"
One Grandmaster was shocked, even though it was the secondary cannon, a direct hit should be fatal even to the top Martial Arts Master!
"Thereâs a problem!" A Grandmasterâs expression changed drastically, pointing at the flashing tiny red dot on the virtual sand table,
The tiny red dot was moving faster and faster, faster and faster!
Heading towards the space fleet.
One team leader suddenly stood up, taking three steps to the porthole, staring.
In the distance on the wasteland, a small figure raced forward,
a long trail of dust trailing behind, moving at a frightening speed!
"That is..."
The Grandmaster rubbed his eyes, carefully watching the small figure.
His scalp tingled, turning to shout:
"Enter combat state immediately!!"
The Grandmasters walked to the porthole, each staring at the small figure,
With their sight, they could see it all clearly!
Damn!
It was a âpersonâ cloaked in black, but the black cloak, under the strong wind pressure during the rush, had torn open, revealing the bloody skeleton underneath!
Not human.
Not human!
Itâno, heâwas targeting the fleet from the start!!
