Eight Hundred Miles in a Single Night
The New Moon hangs low, the sky is full of stars, and the night is gentle and serene.
Wang Xuan sat on the back of a red carp and traveled eastward along the shimmering river, without returning to Su City.
Behind him, in the distant mountains, beams of Energy Beam into the sky, their umbrella-shaped rays illuminating the night.
The distant view that tore through the black sky contrasted sharply with the serene beauty in front of him. Wang Xuan did not turn around, but sat calmly on the red carp and disappeared into the End of the Sky.
People in Su City were surprised. Some looked up at the night sky a hundred miles away, where there seemed to be abnormal light radiation illuminating the night sky.
Soon, the distant probe captured clear images, and the satellite also transmitted back some pictures, which amazed everyone.
"That's the direction the Sun family's warships left in. Could they have been attacked?" someone in Su City asked with suspicion.
Has the rule of New Star been broken?
It looked like powerful warships were exchanging fire; the vast mountain range collapsed and turned into a sea of light!
"The Sun family has a base in that area; there's a high probability something's happened to them!"
Su City was shocked by what everyone thought. How many years had it been since something like this had happened? Warships clashed, and an entire base was reduced to terrifying energy fire.
The Qian Family and Li Family' headquarters were right here. The higher-ups were shocked and reacted the fastest, sending out spaceships and other equipment to find out more.
"The Sun family just used warships to eliminate that young man Wang Xuan, and then they themselves got into trouble. Is this a coincidence?"
"Dazzling fireworks illuminated the night sky, and the mountain area was melted. It was unbelievable that the super conglomerate Sun family was attacked."
Who exactly launched the attack, and how many warships attacked that base, remains unknown to this day.
People are waiting for the investigation results.
Everyone found it unbelievable; too many unexpected things happened that night.
The Sun family seemed shrouded in a dark cloud. Several old men and middle-aged men sat together, and the somber and oppressive atmosphere was suffocating.
This loss is a bloody pain for them, like having large chunks of flesh cut out of their bodies.
For decades, the Sun family had expanded rapidly and had not experienced the frustration of being thwarted for a long time.
"For many years, no one has dared to attack us first, but now so many people have suddenly died and we have lost a base..." Sun Rongting said, his voice calm yet cold, like the calm before a storm.
This night was too heavy for them.
Everyone was speculating about which mysterious force had launched the sudden attack on the Sun family's base with warships.
To this day, no one has imagined that it was Wang Xuan who single-handedly stormed into that base and detonated a key location belonging to the Sun family.
Late at night, Zhong Cheng stared in disbelief and muttered, "Old Wang, who is avenging you? You were just wiped out of your life with a super-powered beam, and that very night the Sun family's base was destroyed."
At this moment, Sun Yichen felt like he was about to vomit blood. Not long ago, he was quietly showing off in his circle of acquaintances, but not long after, the bad news came that the Sun family had been attacked by terrorists and his uncle Sun Chenghai had died in the base!
In a city with a population of over a million, Old Chen prepared to set off, intending to take advantage of the chaos that night to head east and continue his journey towards Kangning City, where the Sun family resided.
"Wang Xuan should be alright, right?" He didn't quite believe the kid was dead.
He had barely left the city when a sudden unease gripped his heart. He turned back quickly, knowing that even at this critical moment, someone from the Sun family was still watching him.
In the distance, a small warship flew across the sky, appearing and disappearing quickly like a phantom under the stars and moon.
The Sun family wanted to go all out and kill Wang Xuan tonight, and also wanted to take the opportunity to kill Chen Yongjie. However, they did not dare to continue to make moves in the city, but wanted to wait for him to go out!
Three hundred miles away from Su City, Wang Xuan saw a sizable city and decided to disembark, no longer choosing to travel by water, as he felt it would be too slow.
After giving the red carp some more Mysterious Matter, he disappeared from the riverbank like a ghost.
A tremendous noise came from mid-air. Someone was racing a car in the middle of the night. The suspended sports car sped along, not as fast as a small spaceship, but definitely much faster than the red carp.
Wang Xuan thought for a moment, then held back and ignored the group of street racers. The surveillance system at New Star was everywhere, and if he really tried to steal a speeding car, he would probably be exposed instantly.
Besides, he has always been a law-abiding citizen and has no desire to do such a thing.
He waved down a taxi on the roadside and said, "Lan City."
This is the name of a city ahead; you'll pass through it on your way to the Sun family.
The driver didn't say anything. Although the two cities were more than 300 miles apart, they could reach each other quickly at high speed.
As soon as he got into the car, Wang Xuan felt something was wrong. Surveillance was everywhere, and his personal movements were virtually impossible to hide. He quietly destroyed several pieces of equipment in the car.
Then, just halfway through the taxi ride, the driver frowned and said, "To protect the safety of our passengers, we have installed safety monitoring equipment in our cars. Now that it has malfunctioned, headquarters has notified me that I need to go and repair it immediately."
There are satellites in the sky, and various transportation facilities on the ground are also under surveillance. Wang Xuan frowned; if this continued, he would soon be exposed.
"I have an urgent matter, so I'll increase the price for you."
"It really won't work, I'll be severely punished by the company." The driver shook his head.
Most importantly, there are no unlicensed taxis on the New Star, and almost every vehicle is equipped with a surveillance device to prevent various crimes from occurring.
"How about I kidnap you?" Wang Xuan said calmly, looking at him.
"Huh?!" The driver was shocked.
Then, the car sped along, not stopping even when passing through Lan City, and drove away from the city, heading east.
Late at night, the taxi traveled 500 miles before running out of power and having to stop on the side of the road.
At this time, Wang Xuan was already 800 li away from Su City, and more than 1,000 li away from Kangning City, where the Sun family was located.
He estimated that his whereabouts might have been exposed. There were too many probes and cameras on the New Star to count, making it impossible to guard against them all. Continuing forward would be dangerous.
At night, various detectors and Satellite Heavenly Eye revealed the true situation, confirming that no warships attacked the Sun family's base; it was an internal self-destruction.
In fact, the Sun family learned of this situation before outsiders, and the few images transmitted from the base at the last moment were compiled.
Then, news came from hundreds of miles away that a roadside detector had captured a figure resembling Wang Xuan, who had come ashore at the riverbank.
Clearly, a powerful conglomerate has entered Wang Xuan into a special system!
Whenever his whereabouts are discovered or captured on camera, the footage is immediately transmitted to the databases of certain organizations.
Both he and Old Chen were put on a certain "list," and regardless of whether there was hostility, all parties were very concerned about their travel routes.
The news spread quickly to all sides, which was simply unbelievable.
"He's not dead?!"
"How is this possible? Even the warship's super-powered weapons couldn't kill him. He inexplicably appeared hundreds of miles away. Could he have become an immortal?!"
When the news broke, conglomerates and large organizations were stunned.
Many people felt their scalp tingle; how could they not overthink it? Wang Xuan not only did not die, but also traveled downstream along that great river.
During this time, the Sun family base on the banks of the river exploded!
"Could it be him?!"
Some people were dumbfounded and stunned.
The Energy Beam that fell from the sky didn't kill him? Instead, one of the Sun family's military bases was inexplicably destroyed, which is chilling.
Unfortunately, that section of the river was relatively remote, and no one had deployed detectors there. The Sun family's base probably captured some images, and some audio and video should have been transmitted before its destruction, but they did not disclose it to the outside world.
Tonight, a series of unexpected events occurred, and Wang Xuan's figure reappeared. This news left everyone stunned, feeling as if it were a dream.
"How could they survive this?" Some people were still unable to calm down!
"If it's confirmed that Wang Xuan destroyed that base, then the Sun family will probably go crazy!"
What happened tonight was astonishing.
Inside the Sun family compound in Kangning City, the atmosphere was heavy with gloom. Everyone's faces were grim, and tonight, one piece of bad news after another was coming their way.
"We've discovered his location. He's heading this way. Don't hesitate, get the warships ready and bombard him along the way," someone said in a deep voice.
"Contact Mr. Ghost immediately, stop obstructing Chen Yongjie, and go kill Wang Xuan!"
The Sun family was filled with murderous intent, wishing they could immediately and humanely destroy Wang Xuan. The loss tonight was heartbreaking for them.
Wang Xuan left the taxi and didn't continue on the road, instead heading into Jingyue City ahead. Sure enough, not long after, a warship silently approached, flashing past outside the city. The Sun family, like ghosts, relentlessly tracked him down.
"He advanced 800 li in one night, he's really determined. Does he really want to storm into Kangningcheng and head straight for the Sun family's headquarters?"
When other conglomerates and large organizations received the news, they were all shocked. This young man was suspected of destroying the Sun family's base and then speeding eastward!
Within certain circles, many people are closely following this matter and will be sleepless tonight!
They thought the young man was crazy.
Upon hearing the news, Old Chen remained silent for a moment. He set off ahead of time, having only traveled five hundred li from Su City. Wang Xuan had already overtaken him overnight.
"Xiao Sun, it seems Wang Xuan isn't dead." On the New Moon, Zhou Yun, always quick to speak his mind, immediately contacted Sun Yichen and said, "I heard there was an accident at the Sun family's base. My condolences, and please take care of yourself."
Sun Yichen hung up the phone immediately and ignored him.
Jingyue City, located 800 miles from Su City, is considered a first-tier city with a population of tens of millions. It is the headquarters of the wealthy Song Family.
Therefore, Wang Xuan felt at ease and found a large hotel very close to the Song Family, almost adjacent to them.
In fact, whenever someone visits the Song Family, they usually choose to stay in this Seven-Star Hotel.
Although it was late at night, the Song Family was sleepless. They never expected that Wang Xuan would come to their territory and stay at the Liuyun Hotel, which was just across the street!
"Is this where the Little Song lives?" Wang Xuan asked with a surprised expression.
"That perverted Little Wang is here!" someone from the Song Family said in a deep voice. An old man gave the order to be on high alert. In fact, warships had already taken off and were located outside the city. If anything unexpected happened, they would have to open fire!
To this day, people cannot be certain whether Wang Xuan detonated the Sun family's base; they only have serious suspicions. But that is enough—he is an extremely dangerous person!
Inside the room, Wang Xuan was full of energy and showed no signs of fatigue. He had recovered the mental energy he had consumed while traveling by car.
In the middle of the night, a warship appeared in the sky above Jingyue City!
This made the Song Family's hearts pound. They immediately warned the people on the warship not to engage in combat here, or they would bear the consequences, and the Song Family would definitely shoot them down.
"We're just dropping people off," someone on the warship replied.
Inside the ship was a jade coffin, weathered and ancient, from which wisps of black mist rose. The warship had come specifically to deliver this person.
Wang Xuan stood by the window, looking at the warships in the night sky. His eyes were deep. He estimated the distance; it was too far away. Even his spiritual projection could not reach them.
"Hmm?" Suddenly, his eyes flashed with divine light as he saw Dao Body appear in the night sky, flying out of the warship and heading directly toward him.
That was a spiritual entity; how could it approach this place from such a great distance?
Holding the ancient lamp, Wang Xuan stared at the sky. The spiritual entity was approaching and rapidly pounced towards him.
He activated the ancient lamp, and the flame at the wick flickered and instantly brightened, weaving together a small, dark red arrow with runes. With a hiss, it flew out and embedded itself in the Dao Body.
The Dao Body froze, standing outside the window.
Without any hesitation, Wang Xuan used his spiritual energy to guide the dark red arrow, which exploded with a bang, Dao Body to vanish into thin air.
He frowned; he wasn't as invincible as he had imagined.
At this moment, inside the warship high in the sky, black mist filled the Jade Coffin and once again condensed into Dao Body, rushing towards the Flowing Cloud Hotel.
This time, Wang Xuan used his spiritual eye to observe, and finally saw the clue: the flying spiritual body was attached to a special substance, with strange runes flowing faintly.
He activated the ancient lamp again, imprisoning the spiritual energy entity, and then detonated it!
In this way, Wang Xuan killed nine spiritual energy entities in succession!
Until the tenth shadow appeared, speaking from afar, "My true form has not yet appeared, and I do not wish to be your enemy. What you killed were some spiritual fragments that I collected from the ruins."
"Then why did you come to Jingyue City?" Wang Xuan asked, standing by the window.
"Although mythology is decaying and destined to dissipate, we cannot sit idly by and wait for our demise. I have come here to see how strong you are and to cooperate with you." The black shadow actually said such a thing.
"Who are you?" Wang Xuan asked in a deep voice, sensing that this shadow was not simple.
"I am but a wandering ghost, a mere ghost servant. We are both extraordinary beings; we can cooperate. I can help you overthrow the Sun family!"
Thanks to DK5808, thank you for your support!
There are no more chapters tonight; I've been plunged into the dark cycle again. I need to adjust, and I'll make up for it in the next few days.
