Chapter 1361: Eviction Order

Eviction Order

"In addition, on behalf of the Hanging Jade Domain government, I issue a recruitment call to the entire domain."

"If there are still Divine Path Possessors hidden around you, whether they are members of the Dusk Society, Fire-Stealers, or other civilians unable to show their faces due to various reasons, we hope you can stand up at this moment and fight side by side with the Hanging Jade Domain. The Hanging Jade Domain government will let bygones be bygones and promises to compensate everyone after the war..."

"..."

In the quiet room, hearing that rare and slightly panicked female voice from the radio, Chen Ling's eyes narrowed slightly.

Although this reporter repeatedly emphasized that the frontline situation was still under control, it was obvious that the Hanging Jade Domain couldn't hold on for much longer... The frontline was collapsing, the defense line was moving back, and they could only pin their hopes on the reinforcements from Spirit Void and South Sea. Although reinforcements sounded strong and very reassuring, the problem was that at this time when the Domain Trains couldn't move, how long would it take for these reinforcements to reach the battlefield?

If they weren't at wits' end, the Hanging Jade Domain wouldn't have publicly issued a recruitment call to the civilians, and directly called out the Dusk Society, Fire-Stealers, and other former "wanted criminals". They desperately needed Combat Power to join the frontline... Those people from the Esoteric Sect were probably almost wiped out.

He had only stopped listening for three days, yet the situation in the Hanging Jade Domain had actually become endangered to this extent?

Just as Chen Ling was thinking, the reporter's voice sounded from the radio again:

"No matter which Domain General Jian is in right now, upon hearing this message, please return to the battlefield immediately, otherwise, opportunity expires."

Chen Ling was taken aback.

This "opportunity expires" seemed abrupt and awkward, but probably only a few people could understand the meaning hidden within it...

The Hanging Jade Domain needed Jian Changsheng, but they couldn't directly expose the deal itself in front of the civilians. They could only urge him in this relatively obscure way. The general meaning was that if you still don't come back, everything we discussed before won't count anymore.

But even though this message was incredibly obscure, it still aroused suspicion among the civilians.

"Great Reporter Chen, General Jian has been absent from the battlefield for so long, where did he go?"

"He couldn't have become a deserter, right??"

"No way, I just made General Jian's fan support materials, and they haven't even been distributed yet! He can't not come back, right??"

"Did he know the Hanging Jade Domain couldn't be defended and ran away early??"

It seemed a lot of onlookers had gathered around Chen Yu. After hearing this message, they asked loudly one after another, and the environment became extremely noisy for a time.

"Please don't panic, everyone! I believe General Jian must have gone to get reinforcements for our Hanging Jade Domain! He cares deeply about the Hanging Jade Domain and should be back very soon!" Chen Yu immediately spoke to control the scene. "Let us believe in the Hanging Jade Domain, believe in General Jian!"

"It's fine! I believe in General Jian!"

"I also believe in General Jian!"

"..."

Chen Yu was a seasoned reporter after all. After sensing the signs of negativity, she immediately snuffed them out and brought the rhythm back on track.

Chen Ling fell silent for a long time and turned off the radio.

Originally planning to sleep and rest for a while, he completely lost the mood at this moment. He pondered alone for a long time, silently stood up, and walked straight out the door.

...

"Spades..."

"Spades!"

Jian Changsheng blearily opened his eyes and saw Sun Bumian shoving him from the side.

"Ah? What's wrong?"

"Dinner is ready."

"!"

Jian Changsheng immediately sobered up, a feeling of ravenous hunger surging into his heart. He turned his head to look around and found a centipede already waiting at the door.

"... So fast?" Jian Changsheng rubbed his eyes. "Why do I feel like I didn't sleep for long..."

"You indeed didn't sleep for long, about an hour." Sun Bumian calculated the time.

"Is Hearts that fast at cooking?"

Although Jian Changsheng was confused, he was truly too hungry. He immediately climbed out of bed, simply tidied himself up, and prepared to eat.

Jiang Xiaohua kept licking his lips at the side, seemingly already unable to wait... During the many days Chen Ling was away, he hadn't even had a single sip of Five Poison Wine. Among the three of them right now, he was the one looking forward to dinner the most.

The three followed behind the centipede to the dining room. This place had been cleaned up to look like when Chen Ling first hosted a welcoming banquet for them. The Torchlights on both sides burned brightly, the candlelight flickered on the table, and inverted dining plates were neatly arranged on the tabletop, elegant and clean.

At this time, the figure draped in the Great Crimson Theatrical Robe sat at the end of the long table, quietly looking at them.

"Finally time for dinner!" Jian Changsheng directly sat down in his seat and rubbed his stomach. "To be honest, not having eaten it for so many days, I really kinda miss the crispy fried scorpion."

"Hearts, I want to drink." As soon as Jiang Xiaohua sat down, he eagerly looked at Chen Ling.

Sun Bumian glanced at Chen Ling. From the other party's gaze and expression, he seemed to have tasted something extra... He didn't say anything and just sat silently next to Jian Changsheng.

Having lived here for so long, Jian Changsheng completely no longer considered himself an outsider. Without waiting for Chen Ling to announce the meal, he lifted the dining plate in front of him in one go...

In the next second, he froze in place.

Inside the dining plate, it was completely empty.

"Hearts, where's the food?" Jian Changsheng looked around in confusion. "Have the little centipedes not brought it up yet?"

"No... I didn't prepare dinner at all."

"... Why?"

"Humans cannot eat poisonous insects every day." Chen Ling looked at him with a complex expression. "The dinner you should be enjoying has never been in the Ghost Mockery Abyss... but in the Human Domains."

Jian Changsheng was stunned for a long time, and finally realized something, sighing helplessly:

"I was wondering why dinner was ready so fast... So, you came to persuade us to go back."

Chen Ling clapped his hands, and a few centipedes immediately brought up a few cups of Five Poison Wine and placed them in front of everyone...

"You guys have lived here for so long, you should have realized that the Ghost Mockery Abyss is fundamentally unsuitable for human habitation." Chen Ling picked up his wine cup and slowly spoke,

"I am very happy that you could come see me... but now, it's time for you to go back.

I have already prepared three centipedes outside the Underground Palace gate. Their speed is very fast and can send you to the vicinity of the Hanging Jade Domain within a short time.

The Hanging Jade Domain is currently in imminent peril. As long as you time your return to the battlefield correctly, not only can you clear your names and extricate yourselves, but you can also establish military merit, win people's hearts, and truly become heroes of the Human Domains... As brothers, this is what I want to see the most, rather than you staying here eating bugs with me.

So...

After finishing this cup, you should go."

Dinner without ingredients, "carriages and horses" prepared at the door. Chen Ling's actions and words weren't discussing it at all, but rather more like notifying the three of them after taking care of everything... or in other words, issuing an eviction order.
