Chapter 397: Arrivals from Everywhere, Winds and Clouds Shift!

Inside the Great Family Alliance building.

"Damn little beast!"

Luo Dongli let out a low growl, her demeanor at this moment showing none of the soft, charming air she usually displayed as the General Manager of the Great Family Alliance.

"He actually thought of this move to deal with us!"

Luo Dongli's expression was extremely ugly.

They naturally knew that the Military Martial Guards from various regions were coming to Xiaoyang.

But to kill Chen Yan, no amount of people could stop it.

As long as a few Seventh-Order experts made a move, with one holding back Tan Yishi and the others attacking Chen Yan.

Then Chen Yan would undoubtedly die.

Given the scale of the Great Family Alliance and Lu Ming'an, hiring a few Seventh-Order experts was no issue at all.

But Chen Yan had broken their plan by preaching the Immortal Body.

If Chen Yan was preaching the Immortal Body, then surely some ancient, powerful existences would not want him to die.

Even the few Seventh-Order experts they hired would waver.

Nothing was more tempting than an Immortal Body.

Lu Ming'an's expression was also as gloomy as water, and he spoke coldly:

"If he wants to break the situation like this, then he is overthinking it; a vague and illusory Immortal Body is simply not worth as much as a Sun-Level precious medicine."

A murderous intent appeared in Lu Ming'an's eyes.

The more terrifying the potential Chen Yan displayed, the more determined the Lu Clan was to kill him.

Since they had become enemies, then just kill him directly.

Never mind whether he was a prodigy valued by the Chen Clan.

Since Chen Qi was not here, then they would act.

"Tomorrow is his death day; I have my own powerful experts to make a move!" Lu Ming'an spoke with absolute certainty.

Luo Dongli was startled, then immediately nodded with a smile:

"Since that is the case, then I shall await the good news."

Luo Dongli breathed a sigh of relief; Chen Yan had always been an enemy of the Great Family Alliance.

If things continued to develop normally, he would definitely threaten the survival of the Great Family Alliance.

"Fortunately, the Great Xia does not protect him!"

Luo Dongli laughed out loud.

The Xia Clan was cowardly and dared not ruin the marriage alliance with Luzhou because of Chen Yan.

Behind Chen Yan, there were only the remaining old, weak, and disabled soldiers of Lu Xunyang, which was simply not enough.

A prodigy, if they did not have a massive background, should not be too arrogant.

That Li Muyun, who belonged to a Rune Sword Saint Body family, was not even as arrogant as Chen Yan.

"I am leaving first," Lu Ming'an said.

Luo Dongli nodded, sitting on her sofa, a trace of a smile appearing at the corner of her mouth.

"Chen Yan... is on a dead-end road."

Luo Dongli stood up and stretched:

"Die early; once he is dead, this old lady will be more relaxed. A lowly commoner from Yunmeng..."

Her eyes were full of malice as she walked into the bathroom.

…………

The news of Chen Yan preaching the Immortal Body instantly spread to every household.

Immortal Body!

Countless people were shocked.

The existence of an Immortal Body was too rare, but the battle records were too glorious.

This matter even overshadowed the affair of the Thunder-Strike Treasure Land, locking more eyes onto Xiaoyang City.

How many people in the world wanted to seek so-called immortality?

And tomorrow, the world's second Immortal Body would tell everyone the mysteries of immortality.

In an instant.

Winds and clouds surged across all regions.

Upon the earth.

Legions were on the move!

"Drive faster!"

Luo Puxin shouted loudly, behind him a long line of military vehicles.

They were currently driving at maximum speed, kicking up a cloud of dust on the highway.

The Minister of the Luo City Military Martial Guards appeared and sighed with emotion:

"This is going to be big; preaching the Immortal Body, perhaps..."

He leaned closer to Luo Puxin:

"Perhaps it is the decree of the Xunyang Divine General!"

Luo Puxin nodded, though he was wailing in his heart.

It was all over!

Today, the Minister had asked him more than once about Lu Xunyang.

It was clear that he truly believed the Patrol Sun Divine General was in Xiaoyang City.

Luo Puxin felt life was hopeless, and could only keep spinning lies.

He gritted his teeth.

Forget it.

There are few opportunities in life to stake everything.

He never regretted deceiving everyone this time.

"Department Head, you've done a beautiful job this time; the Patrol Sun Divine General will surely record a great merit for you!"

Luo Puxin transmitted his voice.

The Department Head was stunned, then a sharp light erupted in the depths of his eyes, and he let out a low roar:

"Old soldiers never die, they only fade away; though the divine tortoise has a long life, its ambition reaches a thousand miles!"

His entire body's aura surged, chilling to the bone.

"Department Head, you used the wrong words!"

Someone spoke up.

"Shut up!"

The Department Head barked:

"All of you watch closely, once the war starts, I will be the first to charge!"

…………

Wushi City.

Inside a dim room, the blood-light on the floor formed a profound and bloody array pattern.

Chen Changyuan and a masked person were sitting cross-legged on the floor.

"The Immortal Body is preaching the Dao, aren't you going to listen?"

The masked person spoke.

"Immortal Body?" Chen Changyuan frowned:

"Kill him and seize his physical body, wouldn't that be simpler and more straightforward?"

The masked person did not speak.

Chen Changyuan, however, revealed a faint smile:

"I am about to ascend to the Seventh Rank; after this, everything will belong to me."

Endless cold light appeared in his eyes.

He was the number one Sixth Rank in the world; entering the Seventh Rank meant becoming an absolute powerhouse.

He had accumulated a great deal and had long been prepared, waiting only for this day.

…………

The next day.

Outside Xiaoyang City.

Near the Lightning Strike Treasure Land.

"I sense that no fewer than three Seventh Ranks have arrived."

Jidao Wu frowned as he spoke, looking into the depths of the void.

"They are all some old immortals; the Immortal Body is truly too tempting," Li Muyun laughed.

Jidao Wu looked at Li Muyun:

"If you help Chen Yan again, you will completely withdraw from the competition for the First Rank General Star."

"You're telling me this?" Li Muyun curled his lips:

"My family has money, do you think I have no way out?"

Jidao Wu gave a faint smile:

"Today, there might be a great battle; relying on me, I can at most exchange two blows under a Seventh Rank."

As Jidao Wu spoke, a trace of dissatisfaction appeared in his eyes:

"The Great Xia is cowardly; Chen Yan should not die."

"Yo." Li Muyun smiled:

"Aren't you the one who hates the Chen Clan the most?"

Jidao Wu did not speak, but took a deep, heavy breath.

The sky was about to change.

Above another Lightning Strike Treasure Land.

Xi Congyun and Mu Zigui stood quietly.

"The Military Martial Guard cannot protect him; even if he wants to preach the Dao of the Immortal Body, there will be Seventh Ranks who disregard others to strike at him."

Xi Congyun spoke quietly.

"Then what are you going to do?" Mu Zigui asked.

"Do nothing; I want to see if Jidao Wu and the others will strike again," Xi Congyun laughed:

"The Xia Clan has abandoned Chen Yan; if they strike again to protect Chen Yan, it will also invite the dissatisfaction of the Great Xia."

Yet at this very moment.

Boom, boom, boom!!!

High above in the distant sky.

Blood-light appeared, and hundreds of Military Martial Guards crossed the void, their auras terrifying, carrying monstrous killing intent.

In an instant, it attracted everyone's attention.

The person in the lead had purple flames flickering all over his body, and fierce murderous intent was brewing in the depths of his eyes.

In an instant, someone recognized the newcomer.

"It's the Deputy Minister of the Cloud Province Military Guard, Qu Youwu, why has he come?"

"That's right, he was bound to come; he and Lu Xunyang are brothers!"

"Is he not afraid of being reprimanded by the Xia Clan?"

"Qu Youwu is not a man who fears the Xia Clan."

Someone recognized the newcomer as a close friend of the Xunyang Divine General.

The middle-aged man, whose body was burning with purple fire, felt murderous intent erupt in his eyes and looked into the void in an instant.

"With me standing guard here, whoever dares to make a move against Chen Yan, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

The man named Qu Youwu spoke.

"He's crazy," Mu Zigui said in astonishment.

Even a person at the level of a provincial Deputy Minister had come.

This Qu Youwu was only at the peak of the Sixth Rank, but he also possessed the strength to fight those of the Seventh Rank.

It was also at this moment.

"Advance, advance, move forward!"

A series of loud shouts rang out.

On the land in the distance, legions disembarked from their vehicles, assembled, and approached.

It was not just one unit!

"Liu Hua, he is leading the Cloud Dream City Military Guard!"

"That is the Luo City Military Guard!"

"And there are those from Yixian City!"

"Holy crap, are they trying to lay siege to the city?"

"They are all here to protect Chen Yan; these Military Guards are all from the Xunyang Divine General's faction, regardless of the Xia Clan's stance!"

The crowd was astonished.

Yet, they saw.

On the outskirts of Xiaoyang City.

The three-party legions, like fortresses cast from steel, made every step feel like a heavy hammer striking the earth.

Added together, there was a massive army of two hundred thousand!

The soldiers erupted with blood energy, each of them wearing a solemn expression, as if they had walked out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.

Xiaoyang City was shaken.

This scale was a bit too large.

The Great Xia had remained silent on the matter of Chen Yan, but the Military Guard had not.

The Ministers and Deputy Ministers of these various Military Guards were all risking the crime of facing a military tribunal to come here.

Inside Xiaoyang City, an old man wept with joy.

"Good, good, good, the backbone of our Great Xia has not completely rotted away!"

"That's great, Chen Yan is saved!"

"Whoever dares to make a move, let's see who dares to make a move; today we shall destroy the Aristocratic Family Alliance!"

A series of low roars rang out.

The vast majority of people did not want Chen Yan to die.

Having killed a villain, why should one have to die?

The scene unfolding at this moment was moving.

PS: I don't know what's wrong today; I feel powerless, devoid of emotion, and without any fluctuations.

Perhaps it is long-term suppression gathering together, causing the whole person to have problems.

I even wrote today's text without the slightest emotion being born, even though I felt quite good when I first thought of it.

I don't know why; is it because of the performance, or is it because of my health?

I don't know.

Admitting that I am uncomfortable is the behavior of the weak; I don't want to admit it, but there is still something accumulated and pent up in my heart.

This is actually quite good.

If one does something without having suffered for it, I believe the thing itself is problematic.

I should look for my own problems; perhaps I can make the content more refined, more serious, and richer.

There is no intentional stalling; if you feel it is slow, everyone can let the chapters accumulate.

I will strive to write the "General Conferment" plot better; I have thought of some twists that will be quite good, but it seems they could be even better.

Writing better, I will continue to work hard tomorrow!

Seeing the comment section, many readers have shared their own dilemmas and confusion.

This is perhaps where this book differs from others; I feel that my book is influencing some readers, a positive influence.

This is the greatest affirmation for me, thank you.

Also, I want to say to them.

I think we are the same.

I also want to work hard together with you all.
