National Guardian's Gone and We're Done

Xia Chengli’s gaze fell upon Yumizakura, who was beside Chu He,

because he sensed a dense Mysterious Power emanating from her.

However, Yumizakura also possessed a uniquely human cunning, which Xia Chengli found extremely strange.

’She didn’t quite seem like an Evil Spirit.

But it was even more impossible for her to be human.’

”This is Yumizakura, the legendary deity from the White-Red Empire.”

Chu He introduced her simply.

Xiao Yu, Nanting Snow, and Lin Zuoguang’s eyes instantly lit up.

To them, Yumizakura was a figure who existed only in myths. They had never expected to see her in person.

And her charming and seductive demeanor perfectly matched their fantasies of her.

Chu He extended a hand. In his palm floated an energy mass that constantly shifted in color and shape.

The energy mass seemed both nonexistent and yet extremely dangerous, exuding an oppressive aura. ”This is the power of divinity.

If you can absorb it, your true strength will increase by at least a dozen times.

However, how much you can absorb will depend on your own abilities.”

At this point,

Chu He gently waved his other hand toward Xiao Yu, Nanting Snow, Lin Zuoguang, and Ye Lingyun.

The purest energy in the world immediately broke through the gloom of the Demon Cave,

and flowed like a gentle stream into their four bodies.

The wounds on their bodies immediately began to heal and scab over.

A few minutes later, the scabs fell off automatically, and their skin became just as it was before, showing no signs that they had ever been injured.

A milky-white energy suffused their bodies,

making the four of them feel as if they were soaking in a perfectly warm hot spring after a period of extreme exhaustion.

The comfortable sensation caused all their pores to open.

Not only were their external injuries healed, but even their internal problems were cleansed, leaving behind no hidden wounds or lingering effects.

”The Dean’s power is incredible.”

Xiao Yu, Nanting Snow, and Lin Zuoguang opened their eyes, utterly shocked.

Nanting Snow touched her face, feeling that her skin was even more delicate than before.

This was an effect that none of the rare medicinal herbs she had ever encountered could achieve.

Although the few of them were unaware of the world-shaking battle that had just concluded outside,

Chu He’s miraculous healing touch, which had restored them to their peak condition in such a short time, was enough to fill Nanting Snow and the others with complete shock.

”Next, try to begin absorbing and refining this divinity.”

Chu He said, ”This divinity was refined from Vishnu, one of the three major gods of the White Elephant Empire. It represents the Supreme Divinity of the White Elephant Empire.”

Afterward, Chu He guided Xiao Yu, Nanting Snow, Lin Zuoguang, and Ye Lingyun to sit cross-legged in four different directions,

having them begin to absorb this Supreme Divinity.

「Great Jing Empire.」

”Her Majesty the Queen of the Empire, we have confirmed that all Martial Artists sent to the Great Xia Empire have been eliminated. The one who acted was Yumizakura, whom Chu He brought from the White-Red Empire.”

Zong Yajuan reported, standing in the great hall.

”What about the Lighthouse Empire’s losses?” Ji Shengyue asked.

”Their losses were almost negligible.

The ones who died were just Low Level, ordinary Martial Artists from the Lighthouse Empire.

The members of the Vampire Clan who went with them seem to have received intelligence midway and withdrew ahead of time.

They deliberately used the weapons of those mysterious combat groups and the Martial Artists of our Great Jing Empire as targets to draw fire,

thereby buying themselves time and an opportunity to escape.

Judging from the current outcome, their plan succeeded.”

Zong Yajuan said, her face devoid of expression.

This result wasn’t actually surprising.

After all, the Lighthouse Empire had never, from beginning to end, regarded the Great Jing Empire as an ally.

Instead, they treated it as a watchdog they had trained.

To a high and mighty master holding all the power, what was a mere watchdog?

Zong Yajuan now felt more and more that the Great Jing Empire had fallen into such a state entirely thanks to Ji Shengyue.

”What about Xiao Jin’Er? How is she?”

Ji Shengyue sat on her chair, her fingers digging so hard into her own flesh that they nearly broke the skin.

”Xiao Jin’Er has gone missing. Her older brother, Xiao Xicheng, is not yet aware of this matter.”

Zong Yajuan asked, ”Should we inform him?”

”Not for now,” Ji Shengyue replied after a moment of thought. ”First, secretly lock down this information and send people to the sea where the incident occurred.

I’ll give you three days. Dead or alive, you must find a trace of Xiao Jin’Er.

If you still haven’t found her after three days, we’ll assume she is dead. Only then will we inform Xiao Xicheng.

At that time, we might even be able to stir up Xiao Xicheng’s resentment toward Chu He.”

”I’ll get on it at once.” Zong Yajuan sneered internally, not at all surprised by this.

”By the way, what’s the situation with the Great Celestial Dog?”

Ji Shengyue didn’t notice Zong Yajuan’s unusual mood.

”The one thousand citizens are almost all eaten. He says he needs another thousand and that we must provide them within a week.”

Zong Yajuan replied.

”Did the Great Celestial Dog say how many he needs in total?”

Ji Shengyue frowned.

”According to the Great Celestial Dog, all the citizens of the Great Jing Empire combined wouldn’t be enough to satisfy him.”

Zong Yajuan said.

”Alright, you can go and handle your other duties for now. I will consider this matter.”

Ji Shengyue’s frown deepened as she waved her hand dismissively.

Zong Yajuan bowed and turned to leave.

...

「Lighthouse Empire, in the underground cages.」

Xiao Cangqing was still suspended in mid-air, his body a mess of torn flesh. Numerous insects crawled continuously through his rotting skin.

Because Xiao Cangqing’s body contained Mysterious Power, it would accelerate the repair of his festering wounds, causing him extreme agony yet preventing him from dying.

From the moment he first came into contact with the Mysterious Power and allowed it into his body, Xiao Cangqing could no longer be called human. One could even say that he had already left the realm of the living.

”Chu He has shown his might once again, did you know?”

The blonde woman walked in, grinding her teeth as she stared hatefully at Xiao Cangqing. ”You must be very happy inside, aren’t you?”

”Happy? Fuck your mo—”

Before Xiao Cangqing could finish his curse,

the blonde woman swung her hand and slapped him hard across the face, causing half of it to cave in.

Mysterious Power surged forth, squirming over the caved-in side of Xiao Cangqing’s face, and quickly stitched it back together.

The blonde woman was fluent in the languages of every Empire, so she naturally understood what Xiao Cangqing had meant.

Although familial bonds were weak within the entire Vampire Clan, the blonde woman was still unwilling to be insulted in such a way.

The blonde woman waved her hand. The ropes binding Xiao Cangqing’s body immediately untied themselves, and his body fell heavily to the ground.

Then, two Martial Artists exuding a mysterious aura entered, flanked Xiao Cangqing on his left and right, and dragged him out of the underground cages.
