Chapter 954: I Suspect I've Been Hit by an Illusion Technique!

Before the giant turtle of the Heavy Mystic Sea had even reached Nangang City, Zhu Bin had already rushed out from Nangang City.

"Brother Su Yang, you're back!"

Zhu Bin was extremely enthusiastic, and his voice was incredibly loud.

Su Yang figured that everyone in Nangang City would know he had arrived.

"Mm! I'm back!"

"How did it go? Did those island-nation people discover you? You're not hurt, are you?"

Zhu Bin sized Su Yang up, saw that he really didn't look injured, and set his mind at ease.

"It's fine if the mission failed, don't be discouraged!" Zhu Bin encouraged him. "The Southeast Army must have already sent people to notify Lintai City and the Southern Military Department. They definitely won't have suffered any losses. As for those island-nation people, we didn't know about them before, but now that we do, we absolutely won't let them off easy!"

Failed?

How could Su Yang possibly fail?

He was about to tell Zhu Bin what had happened when Zhu Bin laughed and said: "I didn't expect you'd even snatched a giant turtle of the Heavy Mystic Sea on the way back. How did you manage it?"

"I caught the beast-tamer along with it!"

Zhu Bin said, somewhat in disbelief: "I've seen giant turtles of the Heavy Mystic Sea before. This one should be King-Rank High-Grade, right? You captured a King-Rank High-Grade beast-tamer? You're not pulling my leg, are you?"

"I did capture the master of this giant turtle of the Heavy Mystic Sea along with it, but she's King-Rank Mid-Grade in strength. This particular giant turtle of the Heavy Mystic Sea is naturally a bit larger!"

Sovereign Jiazi's giant turtle of the Heavy Mystic Sea had no ordinary talent!

Just then, Zhu Bin's eyes landed on the stunningly beautiful woman hovering above the giant turtle of the Heavy Mystic Sea.

That woman was Sovereign Jiazi.

Upon arriving at the Huaxia Federation, she had been uneasy inside, and as the coast drew near, she could no longer sit still in the villa.

When Zhu Bin saw Sovereign Jiazi, even this veteran who had seen countless battles was stunned for a moment.

Her looks were breathtakingly beautiful, extremely rare, she appeared very young, and yet her strength was somewhat absurdly powerful!

Zhu Bin might not be able to see through Sovereign Jiazi's strength, but he could barely guess her approximate power from the flying mount beneath her.

Zhu Bin tilted his chin toward Sovereign Jiazi's direction and asked: "You said the King-Rank Mid-Grade beast-tamer from the island nation you captured... it wouldn't happen to be that woman, would it?"

"That's right, it's her!"

Zhu Bin directly gave Su Yang a thumbs-up: "Brother, you've got a sharp eye. You picked her out on purpose to capture, didn't you?"

"I did pick her out on purpose!"

The moment Su Yang saw the suggestive smile on Zhu Bin's face, he understood what he was thinking.

"Don't get the wrong idea. She's the sovereign of the island nation, and right now she's my captive!"

"What?" Zhu Bin was so startled he nearly fell off his flying mount. "Who is she?"

"The sovereign of the island nation!"

"How did you capture her and bring her back?"

Zhu Bin's mind was completely blank.

Su Yang tried to keep it as brief as possible: "I beat the island nation until they couldn't carry on with daily life. They handed her over—one of the conditions of the surrender agreement!"

"Beat the island nation until they couldn't carry on with daily life? And captured their sovereign? Hahaha... Brother, I always thought your talent as a beast-tamer was unmatched in all of Huaxia, but today I've discovered your talent for bragging is just as impressive, ha!" Zhu Bin roared with laughter. "If bragging had a potential rating, you'd absolutely be at divine-grade talent level!"

"I'm not joking with you!" Su Yang said helplessly.

"I'm not joking with you either. Your ability to brag really is at divine-grade level!"

"That Duanmu, come here!"

Seeing Duanmu Baihui, Su Yang quickly beckoned her over.

When Zhu Bin saw Duanmu Baihui, the smile on his face gradually faded.

He could tell that the woman flying over seemed to be at the same strength level as him—King-Rank Low-Grade.

"Duanmu, tell City Lord Zhu, is that Sovereign Jiazi the sovereign of your island nation!"

"Yes!"

As she nodded, Duanmu Baihui's expression was also rather poor.

Being defeated by Su Yang alone was too embarrassing to speak of.

But for Sovereign Jiazi's sake, and for the sake of her own clan, Duanmu still could not refuse Su Yang's order.

"Really?"

Only now did Zhu Bin begin to feel that Su Yang might not be joking.

"It's true!" Duanmu said in a low voice. "City Lord Su defeated the island nation... then several generals announced surrender and handed Sovereign Jiazi over to City Lord Su as a hostage!"

Zhu Bin vigorously scratched his scalp.

He couldn't shake the feeling that he might be dreaming.

But the pain coming from his scalp told him he was awake right now.

He stared at Su Yang and asked seriously: "In just ten days?"

"Mm!"

Su Yang nodded.

He knew that Zhu Bin might find all of this a bit hard to accept.

"In ten days, you defeated the island nation!"

"That's right!" Su Yang handed the surrender agreement to Zhu Bin. "Take a look. It has the signatures of four generals of the island nation and Sovereign Jiazi. I even recorded a video on the side—after all, it's a moment worth commemorating!"

Zhu Bin swallowed hard: "Give me a moment to take this in. I suspect I've been hit by an illusion technique!"

Su Yang said seriously: "I have a set of physical methods for dispelling illusion techniques, honed through a thousand refinements. Would you like me to help you clear your head?"

"No!"

Inside the office of City Lord Zhu Bin, in the City Lord Manor building of Nangang City.

Sovereign Jiazi leaned against the window frame, watching Duanmu Baihui lead five thousand people from the Island Nation down the gangways set up on the back of the Profound Mystery Sea Giant Turtle, one after another in orderly fashion.

Several hundred Nangang Chengcheng garrison troops directed them, intending to lead them into the city for resettlement.

The vast majority of the Island Nation people were both expectant and a little anxious, but under Duanmu Baihui's lead they obediently followed the Nangang Chengcheng garrison's orders.

Su Yang sat on the sofa and said to Zhu Bin, "These five thousand people will be temporarily looked after by Brother Zhu. Once I take Sovereign Jiazi back to the Southeast Military Headquarters first, I'll arrange things for them."

Zhu Bin had already accepted the "reality." Hearing Su Yang's words, he shot Sovereign Jiazi a less-than-friendly glance, then said with some reluctance in a low voice, "If it's Brother Su's request, then that's no problem!"

If not for Su Yang's sake, Zhu Bin would really have wanted to chop these five thousand people up and feed them to the fish.

"Lord Zhu, most of these people are ordinary civilians. The beast tamers who actually attacked Bohai City and Shuizhou City have already received their just punishment—and among them are some of my own relatives!" Sovereign Jiazi slowly turned her head, bowed deeply to Zhu Bin, and said sincerely, "Please, Lord Zhu, look after them on my behalf!"

Sovereign Jiazi's bow made Zhu Bin unable to sit still any longer.

He already knew Sovereign Jiazi's identity—the ruler of a nation!

He also knew Sovereign Jiazi's strength: a King-Rank Mid-Grade beast tamer, with extraordinary potential!

What deserved respect still had to be respected!

After all, she was also a powerhouse!

"Fine!" Zhu Bin stood up and said, "I won't let anything happen to them!"

"Thank you!"
