Debris from the mysterious battle group’s fleet floated on the water’s surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master, it seems there’s something else down below.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the streams of light flowed backward, coalescing once more into the form of a fox.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fox leaped onto Chu He’s shoulder and licked his cheek with a practiced familiarity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice was soft and sweet, so enchanting it could make your bones melt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, it had no effect on Chu He whatsoever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It seems the Great Jing Empire has changed completely in my long absence.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu He shook his head and extended a hand, splaying his fingers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He aimed at the churning sea. Thunderbolt Power gathered in his palm, rumbling and surging endlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It then formed a pillar of lightning that shot out in a perfectly straight line. There was no massive explosion, no deafening roar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The massive monster lurking in the sea was instantly obliterated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The creature was destroyed by Chu He before it could even attempt to resist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the Thunderbolt Power manifested, Yumizakura couldn’t help but feel a jolt of terror, though she did not let it show.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yumizakura could only rejoice inwardly. ’Thank goodness I was able to read the situation correctly.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I’m so much smarter than Yoshitsune and Kappa.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Those two arrogant fools actually thought they could take on Chu He by joining forces.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’If I had chosen to attack with them and the so-called experts from the Lighthouse and White Elephant Empires, I’d probably be nothing but dust right now.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yumizakura had observed the entire battle from the shadows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The longer she watched, the more her terror grew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because from start to finish, Chu He had never once used his full strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every killing blow he delivered was utterly casual, like chopping a head of cabbage with a kitchen knife.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scene was now clean.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu He’s Primordial Spirit Power spread out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were no more fluctuations of Mysterious Power in the surrounding sea, nor was there the presence of any living person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, on the wreckage of the mysterious battle group’s fleet,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu He sensed the lingering presence of members from the Vampire Clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’They must have received intel and escaped just in time to avoid me.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Otherwise, I definitely wouldn’t have let them live.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Still, those guys are truly ruthless.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’There were many Martial Artists from the Great Jing and Lighthouse Empires on that fleet,’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’but they had no intention of taking any of them back.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’They used them as cannon fodder to buy themselves a chance to escape.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Then again, this fit perfectly with what I know about the Mysterious and the Vampire Clan. It’s not surprising they’d do something like this.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Chu He’s strength is as reassuring as ever.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Great Jing Empire thought they could take advantage of the situation. They even got cocky enough to start a livestream while they charged aggressively toward the Great Xia Empire’s territory. Who would’ve thought they’d end up completely wiped out?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s a shame some of them got away. If Chu He had arrived just a few minutes earlier, he would’ve seen a swarm of bats flying away from the fleet. Those were members of the Vampire Clan, the ones pulling the strings behind the Lighthouse Empire.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And these guys have the nerve to call themselves a Vampire Clan? After all that hype, I thought they’d be something special. But the moment danger appears, they abandon their own people to save their own skin. How pathetic.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where are the Lighthouse Empire people now? Weren’t you all running your mouths and talking trash online? Why are you so quiet all of a sudden? Get out here and let your granddaddy teach you a lesson!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Netizens from every Empire flooded the livestream chat, openly gloating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Lighthouse Empire had always been arrogant and domineering across Blue Star, frequently bullying the citizens of other empires.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, the average citizens of the Lighthouse Empire always acted superior toward people from other empires, which rubbed many the wrong way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They simply didn’t dare to show their displeasure on a normal day, given the Lighthouse Empire’s immense power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that they finally had a chance to see the Lighthouse Empire so utterly humiliated, of course they were going to kick them while they were down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead of returning directly to the Great Xia Empire’s Royal City, Chu He went to the Empire’s Demon Cave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The place was as sunless as ever, shrouded in a heavy gloom that hung like a curtain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, this had no effect whatsoever on Chu He and Yumizakura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon arriving, the pair descended directly into a specific area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Here, Xia Chengli was leading Nanting Snow, Xiao Yu, Lin Zuoguang, and Ye Lingyun through special training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nanting Snow, Xiao Yu, Lin Zuoguang, and Ye Lingyun were all covered in injuries, some light, some heavy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four of them were panting heavily, utterly exhausted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, Evil Spirits still roamed the area, their attention clearly fixed on the group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This special training is too brutal! There’s no way we can handle this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s even more terrifying than our time at the National Road Academy. I’ve almost died several times already. Can’t we just quit?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Zuoguang collapsed onto the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, he didn’t even have the strength to lift a finger, and couldn’t help but complain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How much in the way of resources have the Dean and the National Road Academy invested in you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If a tide of the Mysterious breaks out in the future, you’d surely be the first one to run. I really don’t understand why the Dean chose you. It’s obvious you’re nothing but a coward who’s afraid of dying.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Lingyun shot an icy glare at Lin Zuoguang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I-I was just kidding! Don’t be mad. You know I’m always joking around.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Zuoguang quickly shrank back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’After all, Ye Lingyun was a powerhouse at the King-Sealing Realm. Plus, during their usual battles against the Evil Spirits,’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’this beautiful girl fought like a berserker, with a complete disregard for her own life.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Lin Zuoguang had never seen anyone like her and had no idea where the Dean had found her.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’He’d heard the Dean had personally trained her, which was why Lin Zuoguang didn’t dare argue with her in the slightest.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You know perfectly well whether you were joking or not. When I see the Dean, I will report this to him exactly as it happened.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Lingyun gripped her sword and charged toward the Evil Spirits once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Zuoguang smiled sheepishly and didn’t dare say another word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Chengli, meanwhile, leaned against a tree, paying their argument no mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Her mission was simply to ensure this group didn’t die while training in the Demon Cave.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re back?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Chengli suddenly straightened up, looking in a specific direction within the Demon Cave. Two figures were slowly approaching from there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Yu, Nanting Snow, and Lin Zuoguang immediately scrambled to their feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two slowly approaching figures were none other than Chu He and Yumizakura.\u003C\u002Fp>",1288,"2026-06-06T16:46:32.086Z",1,"novelbin.me","88157523bab9b91b77f3c0bdae01acfc53b2821de64546573d08180badb5691c","national-guardian-s-gone-and-we-re-done-chapter-207","national-guardian-s-gone-and-we-re-done-chapter-205",274,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fnational-guardian-s-gone-and-we-re-done-cover.jpg"]
