Is Apollo really alive?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His figure was tall, and his physique was strong to the point of being terrifying; his muscles bulged, as if cast from steel. Even just sitting there quietly, he produced a thick sense of oppression, making the surrounding air seem to stagnate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His name was Kaisidilin!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Your Highness the Prince.\" Standing beside him was a white-bearded old man in robes. At this moment, he was hunched over, head bowed, and said respectfully, \"The result of my personal investigation is exactly so. Your younger brother Apollo is indeed alive and has already arrived at the Baza'er Ethnic Autonomous Region in Africa.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Africa... Baza'er Ethnic Autonomous Region? What is he doing going there?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaisidilin's brows remained tightly locked, his eyes surging with infinite worry and anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The longer Apollo stays in the Baza'er Ethnic Autonomous Region, the more dangerous he will be. Therefore, I suggest that you can immediately rush to the Baza'er Ethnic Autonomous Region and bring him under your control,\" the white-bearded old man continued. \"Otherwise, if this young man is allowed to develop, it will also pose a great threat to our Temple of the Sun God.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaisidilin slowly shook his head. \"No, we are not his match for the time being.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew how powerful Ximen Wudi's strength was, and even more so how astonishing the other's wisdom and martial arts talent were. If they were to rashly go head-to-head with him, there would certainly be heavy casualties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, with Ximen Wudi's strength, if it were a one-on-one fight, Kaisidilin might be able to occupy an absolute advantage, but... he didn't dare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, that was his only younger brother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But, Your Highness the Prince, what if this Apollo becomes the strongest god in the Western Dark World? Then our future will be in jeopardy,\" the white-bearded old man said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This guy had been considering the problem from Kaisidilin's perspective from beginning to end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He is not that kind of person. If this bastard were that kind of person, then I would rather not know him,\" Kaisidilin gritted his teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a near-paranoid belief, and at the same time, it was the thing he least wanted to lose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your Highness the Prince, you must not forget how his father was killed,\" this white-bearded man said. \"He possesses such super combat power himself; if he could join our side...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Join us? Heh.\" Kaisidilin laughed mockingly. \"It is impossible for him to choose to join any side, even if he has already taken Zeus as his father.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pausing for a moment, he added, \"This is my intuition.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, he suddenly remembered the field of tombstones he had seen on Defranci Island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The people buried there must all be Apollo's friends and family; this is his taboo,\" Kaisidilin said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had not kept the matter on Defranci Island from his confidants, so the subordinate responsible for intelligence gathering had also reported the news.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was also the reason why Kaisidilin had to remind the Strategist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He did not want Ximen Wudi to be blinded by hatred and make any wrong decisions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your Highness the Prince, I think you must go to the Baza'er Ethnic Autonomous Region to bring back His Highness Apollo. No matter what, his current situation is very dangerous,\" the old man advised again. \"We need to make a decision as soon as possible.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine, go arrange the plane. Tomorrow at noon, I will board it.\" After thinking for two minutes, Kaisidilin nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he had some grievances against Ximen Wudi, as an older brother, he could not give up his only relative—not to mention that this younger brother's combat power was simply perversely strong. If he didn't go to rescue him, no one knew what kind of combat power he might explode with next!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Your Highness the Prince, please rest assured.\" After the old man finished speaking, he turned his face and walked out of the study.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the old man's back, Kaisidilin frowned deeply. \"I hope this matter is just me overthinking it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This sentence seemed to be said to himself; Kaisidilin closed his eyes and fell into deep thought again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…………\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On a mountain top outside the suburbs of Bato Meiwu City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several off-road vehicles were speeding along.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were five men sitting in these off-road vehicles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were all wearing camouflage uniforms and berets, and the muscles on their bodies bulged high, showing a thick, fierce flavor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the very rear of the off-road vehicle convoy, there were three military transport planes circling, ready to take off or land at any time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because it was late at night, these convoys did not rush to leave Bato Meiwu City, but instead looked for a hotel to stay and rest, waiting for the arrival of one o'clock in the morning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And these people were exactly the elite soldiers and generals under the Great Dragon Head of the Green Dragon Society, Ximen Wudi: Shao Zihang, Huang Ziyao, Li Jian, Xu Xingmin, Zhang Feiran, and the head of the Ye Pu Sect, Zhang Bufan!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Except for Shao Zihang and Huang Ziyao, the other four were all high-level members of Ye Pu Island, and this time they had all been brought to Africa by the Great Dragon Head of the Green Dragon Society, Ximen Wudi!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scale of this team was huge, enough to be called a special operations squad within Huaxia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And at the very end of the convoy, there was also a Mercedes-Benz business car following, and the driver was... Li Youran!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Great Dragon Head of the Green Dragon Society, Ximen Wudi, did not let Li Youran go to Africa with him; he didn't even intend to tell Li Youran the truth. After all... he was also a person with selfish motives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Great Dragon Head of the Green Dragon Society, Ximen Wudi, knew that all these years, Li Youran had always wanted to help him, but unfortunately, she didn't have such resources.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since that was the case, let her stay quietly in Huaxia, accompanying her family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And at this time, Xu Xingmin in the passenger seat said, \"Brother Rui, are we going to stay in a hotel tonight?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, I've never been to Africa before. I don't know what the scenery is like here. Hey, I heard that the girls here all have fair skin, beautiful looks, and long legs!\" Shao Zihang chuckled. \"It's even more beautiful than Atlantis! Hahaha.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stop spouting nonsense,\" Xu Xingmin laughed and scolded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was the Great Elder of Ye Pu Island, and usually, he had a serious and cold look on his face, but now, this Great Elder was also full of smiles, seeming very happy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uncle Xu, our mission this time is mainly to protect Sister Li Youran well. She is my sister-in-law, so we absolutely cannot let others bully her!\" Shao Zihang said. \"We have already promised Brother Rui that we will definitely hand over sister-in-law to him without a single scratch!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This guy called her sister-in-law very smoothly, as if he didn't care at all about the strange looks cast by the people around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, Shao Zihang turned to the Great Dragon Head of the Green Dragon Society, Ximen Wudi: \"Brother Rui, don't worry about this matter. With me and Uncle Xu here, we will definitely be able to help you bring sister-in-law back intact, and we will absolutely not drag you down!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Great Dragon Head of the Green Dragon Society, Ximen Wudi, nodded slightly, expressing agreement. \"Mm, our brothers will work together.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This sentence was really quite heartwarming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Youran sat in the back row, leaning against the seat back, closing her eyes to rest, as if she didn't take the impending danger to heart at all, and no one knew if she was asleep or not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And at this time, her clear eyes opened, and through the rearview mirror, she looked at the Great Dragon Head of the Green Dragon Society, Ximen Wudi, revealing a faint smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This smile was like a spring breeze brushing against her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…………\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half an hour later, a private plane took off and flew toward the northwest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Apollo's personality has really changed a lot; I feel like a stranger to him.\" Xu Xingmin looked at the blue sky and white clouds outside the porthole and sighed. \"I remember when I first met Apollo, his personality was quite straightforward, but over this period of time, his mental activity has been too rich... Sigh, what is all this...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He's our boss,\" Shao Zihang chuckled. \"Old Xu, I think this is what my big brother should look like, don't you agree?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are all good ones; I am very gratified.\" Xu Xingmin shook his head and smiled, then said, \"Actually, your trip this time is not particularly easy, because... our mission target's name is Akpeyi.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh oh, good name, really imposing.\" Shao Zihang chuckled. \"This guy must be a leader of an anti-government armed group, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To be precise, he is one of the core members of the terrorist alliance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Terrorist?\" Shao Zihang raised his eyebrows. \"The names of this group of people are quite to our taste.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Xingmin checked the time and said, \"We are still about twenty kilometers away from the target location; it's estimated to take two hours.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, no rush,\" Shao Zihang laughed. \"Let's travel slowly. Anyway, we came out this time just to relax and travel.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't delay the serious business,\" the Strategist said at this time. \"Especially regarding Apollo, we must try to avoid any mistakes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Strategist, who always liked to consider all problems, also had a rather heavy tone at this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rest assured, Strategist,\" Xu Xingmin nodded. \"I will definitely send Miss Li Xianyuan and Miss Li Xuezhen back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then many thanks to Great Elder Xu,\" the Strategist smiled, and then her eyes turned sharp: \"Pay attention to concealment!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…………\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, in a small bay about eight hundred nautical miles away from this expeditionary force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We have already entered South America, and we are less than twenty nautical miles away from Bato Meiwu City.\" Kanarisi stood on the deck of the command ship, holding binoculars to gaze at the brightly lit city in the distance, her red lips pulling into a curve. \"This is the Dark World, this place full of mystery and charm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, Kanarisi reached out and took off her sunglasses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moonlight shone on her beautiful face, revealing a near-bewitching flavor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Apollo, you finally came back after all,\" Kanarisi said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course I came back. Did you think I would just guard that one-acre-three-fen land in the Golden Triangle? If that were the case, wouldn't it be too meaningless?\" The Great Dragon Head of the Green Dragon Society, Ximen Wudi, walked up from behind Kanarisi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two stood shoulder to shoulder at the stern of the ship, looking at the vast ocean.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then what are you planning to do now?\" Kanarisi turned her face and asked with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Great Dragon Head of the Green Dragon Society, Ximen Wudi, turned his head to look at Kanarisi's profile. \"Why, are you worried about me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm not worried about you; I just think your brain lacks wisdom,\" Kanarisi laughed mockingly. \"You shouldn't have taken risks yourself.\" ===== CHAPTER 1797 =====\u003C\u002Fp>",1924,"2026-06-15T03:02:23.300Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","704af1d2cdf8ab7a7ba0769e28fc233b83428a233ed72714bb404368b4aa8f2b","wuxia-shocking-the-empress-at-the-start-chapter-1395","wuxia-shocking-the-empress-at-the-start-chapter-1393",1409,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwuxia-shocking-the-empress-at-the-start-cover.jpg"]
