Where has she gone now?\" The Green Dragon Society's First Dragon Head, Ximen Wudi, asked again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She has been in Dongyang. My people have been protecting her nearby. These days, I receive a message about Junzi almost every three days,\" the Strategist said: \"She has never taken the initiative to contact me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Green Dragon Society's First Dragon Head, Ximen Wudi, fell into silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Juyang Junzi's loss of contact was definitely a blow beyond imagination for the Green Dragon Society's First Dragon Head, Ximen Wudi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I think she must be very worried about me.\" The Green Dragon Society's First Dragon Head, Ximen Wudi, spoke quickly, showing his inner anxiety. Then, he immediately took out his phone and dialed Li Enrui: \"Hello, Brother Enrui, this is Ximen Wudi. Juyang Junzi has lost contact; please help me keep an eye out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Li Enrui immediately agreed: \"Okay, Brother Rui, we have records of Miss Junzi's itinerary here, I will send them to you later. Also, I have a dedicated search and rescue team here, but...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pausing for a moment, Li Enrui continued: \"Brother Rui, I suggest you try not to get involved in this matter anymore. Since Miss Junzi hasn't come to find you, it proves she is not in life-threatening danger.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But if she doesn't come to find me, who else would?\" The Green Dragon Society's First Dragon Head, Ximen Wudi, said: \"I must find out the reason.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is the common wish of all of us,\" Li Enrui said: \"I am also very worried about Miss Junzi's safety. Brother Rui, our current state is very difficult. I know you care about Miss Junzi, and I don't want to see this situation continue.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These words were sincere and earnest, and... they seemed somewhat well-intentioned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, the Green Dragon Society's First Dragon Head, Ximen Wudi, chose to believe Li Enrui: \"Okay, Enrui, I respect your opinion.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finishing, the Green Dragon Society's First Dragon Head, Ximen Wudi, hung up the phone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze began to grow heavy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Strategist, who is that mastermind you mentioned?\" The Green Dragon Society's First Dragon Head, Ximen Wudi, said in a deep voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Unclear, but if I'm not mistaken, it should be some big shot in Dongyang,\" the Strategist analyzed: \"Over these years, your conflicts with the Dongyang side have become increasingly intense, and Junzi's fame in the dark world is also becoming louder and louder.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I understand, this is what they call a tall tree catching the wind.\" The Green Dragon Society's First Dragon Head, Ximen Wudi, shook his head, and two cold glints flashed in his eyes: \"No matter who it is, no one is allowed to touch Junzi; otherwise, I will slaughter the entire Dongyang martial arts world.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Strategist looked at the Green Dragon Society's First Dragon Head, Ximen Wudi, her gaze soft yet firm: \"Don't worry, leave Junzi's safety to me, I will make her return safely.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mm, with the Strategist here, I am very relieved,\" the Green Dragon Society's First Dragon Head, Ximen Wudi, nodded and said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Junzi is not in the country. Do you plan to go to Dongyang yourself?\" The Strategist asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes,\" the Green Dragon Society's First Dragon Head, Ximen Wudi, said: \"The source of this matter is in Dongyang, I have to go there personally.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'll go with you,\" the Strategist said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No need, you stay in the capital. Once I have results, I will rush back immediately. My friends are all waiting for me to come home,\" the Green Dragon Society's First Dragon Head, Ximen Wudi, said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actually, during the days he spent with Junzi, although he rarely mentioned the sacrifices and efforts this beautiful girl had made, the Green Dragon Society's First Dragon Head, Ximen Wudi, knew deep down—if it weren't for Juyang Junzi, the Green Dragon Society's First Dragon Head, Ximen Wudi, would have died long ago, let alone lived a stable and happy life from then on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, the Green Dragon Society's First Dragon Head, Ximen Wudi, believed that whenever he needed help the most, Junzi would step forward without any conditions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This debt of gratitude could not be forgotten no matter what.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But...\" the Strategist hesitated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She knew what the Green Dragon Society's First Dragon Head, Ximen Wudi, was going to Dongyang for. Of course, the Strategist's reason told her that the Green Dragon Society's First Dragon Head, Ximen Wudi, going there wouldn't have any effect, but in this situation, she still hoped to be able to bear this pressure together with the Green Dragon Society's First Dragon Head, Ximen Wudi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, if the Green Dragon Society's First Dragon Head, Ximen Wudi, were to have an accident, the entire dark world would be thrown into huge waves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No need to say more, let's decide it this way.\" The Green Dragon Society's First Dragon Head, Ximen Wudi, said, patting the Strategist's shoulder: \"Leave this matter to me, I will turn Dongyang upside down.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having said that, the Green Dragon Society's First Dragon Head, Ximen Wudi, pulled the Strategist into the car.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Strategist did not refuse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two took a helicopter and left, flying toward the mountainous area south of the capital.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An hour and a half later, the Green Dragon Society's First Dragon Head, Ximen Wudi, and the Strategist had already arrived near the target area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They saw from afar that a motorcade composed of several off-road vehicles was searching along the way, but the efficiency was very slow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Have the Dongyang police come too?\" The Strategist asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These motorcades looked like convoys for ordinary citizens, and within the borders of Dongyang, it was not common to be able to equip a motorcade of such scale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This should be the Dongyang Police Department,\" the Green Dragon Society's First Dragon Head, Ximen Wudi, said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had also entered this special unit with Junzi before, so he still had some impression of the Police Department.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, one could judge from the lineup formed by these vehicles that these police officers were definitely not just here to do patrol work; it was more like they were here to execute some secret mission!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This caused the Green Dragon Society's First Dragon Head, Ximen Wudi, to frown fiercely!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What kind of serious level did Junzi's disappearance involve that even Dongyang's most mysterious special forces were dispatched?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A term suddenly surged into the mind of the Green Dragon Society's First Dragon Head, Ximen Wudi: \"The Dongyang government has mobilized!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you sure?\" The Strategist said: \"This possibility is extremely high!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I think it's eight or nine out of ten,\" the Green Dragon Society's First Dragon Head, Ximen Wudi, shook his head: \"The Dongyang government wouldn't be so shameless. I think there must be a scent of conspiracy in this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I suspect it is highly likely a conspiracy related to the Sun God Temple.\" The Strategist narrowed her eyes; she seemed to have thought of something, and her expression became slightly stern: \"Moreover, the target of the other party is likely me, because I am the biggest suspect in this matter regarding Junzi.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then, do you have any suspects?\" The Green Dragon Society's First Dragon Head, Ximen Wudi, asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Strategist nodded, a sharp glint appearing in her eyes: \"Based on your and my understanding of that group of old foxes, I think they must have already known that Junzi fell into the hands of the enemy, so these people are highly likely to take a series of retaliatory measures to achieve their goal, for example—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For example, destroying Atlantis,\" the Green Dragon Society's First Dragon Head, Ximen Wudi, said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He originally wanted to ask the Strategist for specific details, but the Strategist didn't give him a chance to say another word, directly reaching out to cover the mouth of the Green Dragon Society's First Dragon Head, Ximen Wudi: \"Shh... be quiet, absolutely do not let anyone discover us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the distance from here to the Dongyang capital was relatively far, there were no Sun God Guards here; even in Plenia, there were no Sun God Guards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, the arrival of the Green Dragon Society's First Dragon Head, Ximen Wudi, and the Strategist would not attract any attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Green Dragon Society's First Dragon Head, Ximen Wudi, shut his mouth, held his breath, and listened carefully. Sure enough, footsteps came, approaching this location.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And these footsteps were very light; clearly, it was someone trained in martial arts; otherwise, it would be impossible to be so silent!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fists of the Green Dragon Society's First Dragon Head, Ximen Wudi, were already clenched, and two cold glints bloomed in his eyes!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, the enemy had locked onto the two of them, and these footsteps meant the other party was about to descend!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Green Dragon Society's First Dragon Head, Ximen Wudi, gripped his Tang saber, kicked his feet hard, exerted force from his waist, and his whole body instantly soared into the air, taking advantage of the momentum to leap more than ten meters high!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gunshots rang out!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, at this moment, the left arm of the Green Dragon Society's First Dragon Head, Ximen Wudi, swept out, directly striking the cervical vertebrae of two figures!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crack!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of bone cracking clearly entered the ears of the Green Dragon Society's First Dragon Head, Ximen Wudi!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These two figures fell to the ground, knocked unconscious from the pain!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These two people were still holding guns in their hands!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The counterattack of the Green Dragon Society's First Dragon Head, Ximen Wudi, just now was truly fast to the extreme! It was impossible to guard against!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, at this moment, three other figures had already jumped up from all sides, long swords unsheathed, stabbing toward the Green Dragon Society's First Dragon Head, Ximen Wudi!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The attack angles of these three swordsmen were tricky, and their speed was extremely fast; the sword tips were almost about to pierce the chest of the Green Dragon Society's First Dragon Head, Ximen Wudi, in the blink of an eye!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This level of attack, if it were an ordinary person, would be impossible to block!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, the one they encountered was the Green Dragon Society's First Dragon Head, Ximen Wudi!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swish!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only the sound of metal clashing was heard, and all three long swords were broken!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These three swordsmen had good skills, all possessing Golden Bloodlines, and could be considered hard to find opponents in the Huaxia Jianghu world, especially the weapons they used, which were all Emei swords from Mount Emei!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Truly worthy of being a super sect in the Huaxia Jianghu world!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, in a battle of this level, these Emei swords couldn't play any role at all!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Green Dragon Society's First Dragon Head, Ximen Wudi, swung his Tang saber, and the blade light flashed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then... pfft, pfft!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood splattered!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A blood arrow shot out simultaneously from the throats of two Emei disciples!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the remaining Emei disciple was also injured.\u003C\u002Fp>",1908,"2026-06-15T03:02:24.816Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","686cc473bc7258f6f287b420d3ff05c3208c8734cdc016d744c912114867c929","wuxia-shocking-the-empress-at-the-start-chapter-1405","wuxia-shocking-the-empress-at-the-start-chapter-1403",1409,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwuxia-shocking-the-empress-at-the-start-cover.jpg"]
