Chapter 1239: Feeling the Huaxia Federation Is Absurdly Overpowered
"Senior, you can't be joking, right?" Tang Tian swallowed. "The Huaxia Federation is so far away — how could you possibly be from there?"
"Do I have any reason to lie to you?"
"No."
Tang Tian thought it over and realized the other party truly had no reason to deceive him.
With a single beast, the other party could have wiped their Luocheng off the map.
"Senior, this isn't the place to talk. If you don't mind, please come to the City Lord's residence so we can have a proper chat and do our duty as hosts?"
Good lord!
Su Yang felt this guy spoke even more bookishly than he did.
"Alright!"
Su Yang recalled the Storm Eagle and landed with Sovereign Jiazi in front of Tang Tian.
"Please, after you!"
"Mm!"
The moment Su Yang entered the City Lord's residence, Luocheng's air-raid sirens immediately stopped.
The alert was officially declared lifted.
But even after the alert was lifted, many people of Luocheng stood rooted to the spot.
A beast-tamer asked, "Do you think that powerful expert was telling the truth? Is he really from there?"
"No idea!"
"It's just too far!"
"How could anyone possibly cross the ocean?"
"But the other party simply has no reason to lie to us!"
"..."
"Two seniors, please, have a seat!"
Inside the lavish reception hall, Su Yang and Sovereign Jiazi took the seats of honor.
Two servants hurried out and served them tea.
At this point, Tang Tian finally couldn't hold it in any longer.
"Two seniors, are you really from the Huaxia Federation?"
In truth, Tang Tian already believed it, more or less.
After all, a powerful yellow-race expert like Su Yang — if he weren't an outsider, there was no reason Tang Tian wouldn't have known about him.
"Mm!" Su Yang nodded. "We both are."
"How is the Huaxia Federation doing?"
Tang Tian's feelings were a little complicated.
He had been born and raised on this continent. By the time he was born, the Beautiful Continent had already been cut off from the Huaxia Federation for over two hundred years.
Most of what he knew about the Huaxia Federation came from books and from the older generation of his clan.
He felt a warm familiarity and a sense of strangeness toward the Huaxia Federation, colored by longing and fantasy.
"Not bad — we can just barely hold things together!"
"Just barely hold things together?"
Tang Tian didn't quite grasp what Su Yang meant, and he wanted to know more.
After all, three hundred years had passed, and Su Yang and Sovereign Jiazi were the first visitors from another continent to reach the Beautiful Continent.
And they had come from the ancestral homeland of the Tang clan, no less.
Sovereign Jiazi explained from the side, "The Huaxia Federation is actually doing quite well. Its territory is still there — it hasn't changed much in three hundred years."
"Still one piece?"
Sovereign Jiazi nodded. "Of course!"
Tang Tian took a deep breath, feeling a bit shaken.
He knew only too well what price had to be paid to keep a territory intact in this dangerous world overrun by fierce beasts, where travel was difficult.
"I forgot to introduce myself!" Tang Tian hurriedly said. "My name is Tang Tian, City Lord of Luocheng. Our Luocheng belongs to the Tang Kingdom — a pretty unremarkable little country. Our ancestors came here to do business, and three hundred years ago, when this world was suddenly overrun by fierce beasts, we ended up staying."
"Su Yang, Lieutenant General of the Federation, currently in charge of the Federation's Northern Military Command. I recently came out on some important missions, so I dropped by to take a look!"
Dropped by to take a look?
Tang Tian felt a little deflated.
It was said so lightly, but Tang Tian knew very well what kind of strength and courage it took to cross the ocean!
"This is my adjutant!" Su Yang introduced. "You can call her Sovereign Jiazi."
Liu Mengyun, Sovereign Jiazi, and Xia Na were all Su Yang's adjutants.
A general — especially one with real power — never had just one adjutant; usually, there was a whole office of them.
"Adjutant?" Tang Tian vigorously scratched his scalp.
He could, of course, sense Sovereign Jiazi's approximate strength.
In terms of presence, she seemed even stronger than his grandfather.
