National Guardian's Gone and We're Done

Chapter 93: Chapter 93: Please Complete the Exploration of the Evil Spirit Wave on the Black Continent Grassland

As for Xia Chengli, she also had a mission.

The teachers of the National Road Academy had all been assembled. If any students suffered life-threatening injuries, they would be immediately brought out for treatment.

”The aura of that goat-headed Evil Spirit was terrifying. I hope things don’t get out of control in there. If something happens to the students, I’m afraid it will cause a massive public outcry in the country.”

Liu Yuzhu asked worriedly.

”There’s no need to worry about that.”

Chu He said with a wave of his hand.

”Her Majesty the Queen also asked me to tell you something.

On the Black Continent Grassland, a tide of Evil Spirits has suddenly erupted. It’s said that there are even Curse Level Evil Spirits present.

However, not much information about the specific situation there has gotten out. Many empires and organizations have already sent people to investigate.

Ever since the Evil Spirit invasions began, many new types of materials never before seen by humanity have appeared on Blue Star.

So, there are rumors that with such a massive tide of Evil Spirits on the Black Continent Grassland, many new and mysterious materials must have been created.

Her Majesty the Queen wanted me to ask you if our Great Xia Empire should also send a team.

After all, these new mysterious materials are extremely valuable resources, just like how the Lighthouse Empire is plundering Corpse Oil from other empires.”

Liu Yuzhu asked.

”A tide of Evil Spirits...”

Chu He repeated the words. Just as he was about to answer, a notification from the system sounded in his mind.

”DING! The host’s current situation has been detected. Please complete the exploration of the Evil Spirit tide on the Black Continent Grassland.

Reward for completion: True Sun Fire.

Penalty for failure: None.”

”Go and reply to Lu Yinxing. I will go to the Black Continent Grassland alone. It will be safer that way.

As for the National Road Academy, leave it in Xia Chengli’s hands.

But you need to keep an eye on her. That girl isn’t quite right in the head.

Xia Chengli has a Primordial Spirit Avatar that I left inside her body.

If anything unusual happens, I can return in an instant, so none of you need to worry.”

Chu He said, closing the system panel.

Furthermore, under Chu He’s control, the Primordial Spirit Avatar had now become something like a teleportation point.

It was not only convenient but could also serve as a lifesaver in a critical moment.

Originally, Chu He had felt that with his level of strength, the only difficult task left was to end all the Mysterious Power and Evil Spirit hauntings on Blue Star.

However, the information he obtained from the goat-headed Evil Spirit made Chu He dismiss his own arrogant thoughts.

The top-tier Evil Spirits already possessed human-level intelligence, even surpassing the abilities of most humans.

They were starting to understand strategy, how to conceal themselves, how to slowly devour humanity through insidious means, and even how to manipulate public opinion.

This was truly quite troublesome.

”Understood.” Liu Yuzhu nodded in response.

After making some simple arrangements,

Chu He used the He Transformed and Free Great Method to leave a hidden version of himself at the manor.

This was mainly to prevent news of his absence from the Great Xia Empire from leaking out,

lest someone get any funny ideas. This was a necessary precaution.

...

「Great Jing Empire.」

After several days of travel, Xiao Cangqing had finally returned to the familiar Green Forest City.

Only then did the anxiety hanging over Xiao Cangqing finally dissipate.

He gave Gao Yimin and Dai Ju a few brief instructions before returning to his room to be alone.

After fainting that day, Xiao Cangqing had actually regained consciousness very quickly.

As a result, he had witnessed the entire confrontation between Chu He and the goat-headed Evil Spirit, the true core of the New World Organization, as well as their subsequent conversation. He had seen it all with perfect clarity.

Xiao Cangqing once again realized he had been terribly, terribly wrong.

He had thought that after successfully stepping into the Emperor Realm and devouring the Fishing Elder to obtain his Mysterious Power, his strength would have surged to the point where he could surely kill Chu He the next time they met.

However, the image of Chu He creating a vacuum with a single punch was deeply seared into Xiao Cangqing’s mind.

The mysterious aura emanating from the goat-headed Evil Spirit had been so terrifying that Xiao Cangqing hadn’t even had the courage to fight it, yet it had been defeated by that single punch from Chu He.

When he threw that punch, Chu He’s expression had remained calm and composed from start to finish.

In other words, that punch had not been delivered with Chu He’s full strength.

That was what truly made Xiao Cangqing despair and tremble with fear.

Now, the New World Organization had already been taken over by Chu He.

Xiao Cangqing could no longer derive any sense of security from the New World Organization.

The fact that Chu He had ignored him that day, simply leaving with the goat-headed Evil Spirit, made Xiao Cangqing feel as if he had fallen into a massive trap.

Xiao Cangqing felt he needed to find a new backer to cling to.

Otherwise, sooner or later, he would die in that invisible, intangible, yet very real trap.

An idea soon came to Xiao Cangqing.

He didn’t tell Gao Yimin or Dai Ju about his idea. Instead, he drove out of Green Forest City alone, heading for Fujiang City.

Fujiang City was the largest coastal city in the Great Jing Empire.

During this period, the Great Jing Empire had mobilized numerous highly professional construction crews to build its largest port here, as well as a Martial Artist Base for the Lighthouse Empire’s use.

From a distance, one could see a colossal Aerial Stealth Ship docked at the Fujiang City port, a truly spectacular sight.

On its deck were numerous uncanny flying machines,

And surrounding it, several more normal-sized uncanny warships were also docked.

This was the path Xiao Cangqing had planned: to cling tightly to the great tree that was the Lighthouse Empire.

There was absolutely no going back to the Great Jing Empire.

It didn’t take much thought to know that Ji Shengyue must hate him to the bone. If he really went back, there was no doubt that Ji Shengyue would be the first person to try every method imaginable to have him killed.

Besides, given the current situation in the Great Jing Empire, his return wouldn’t have much of an impact on the grand scheme of things anyway.

The area ahead was the Lighthouse Empire’s Martial Artist Base, and unauthorized entry was strictly forbidden.

Just as Xiao Cangqing drove into Fujiang City, he was stopped by several ordinary armed Guards.

These armed Guards all had the typical features of people from the Lighthouse Empire:

blond hair and blue eyes,

with skin fairer than that of the people from the Great Xia and Great Jing Empires.

”Isn’t that Fujiang City up ahead? I’m a citizen of the Great Jing Empire.”

Xiao Cangqing asked, rolling down his car window.

”Didn’t you understand what I said?

The area ahead belongs to our Lighthouse Empire’s Martial Artist Base.

Never mind a mere citizen of the Great Jing Empire; even if you were the Queen of Great Jing, you’d still have to be announced and apply for entry.”

These were merely ordinary Guards, yet their expressions were so arrogant they practically had their noses in the air.

’Ji Shengyue, oh, Ji Shengyue, look what you’ve let the Great Jing Empire become!’

Even Xiao Cangqing, who had already become an infamous traitor, couldn’t help but feel a surge of anger at this moment. However, when on someone else’s territory, you have to bow your head.

He could only say, ”Go report to your superiors. Tell them that I am Xiao Cangqing, an expert who has reached the Emperor Realm.”

Then, Xiao Cangqing directly unleashed the powerful pressure of the Emperor Realm.

Under this pressure, the Guards’ legs gave way, and they collapsed to their knees, trembling uncontrollably.
