An Unexpected Turn (2)

"There's still no news from Yellow Springs Star. With Mi Guang Ying over there, there shouldn't be much of a problem. But time is running out."

Lu Sheng recalled what he had learned these past days about the great battle between the Green Ravine Sect and the Mother of Pain. Both sides had temporarily called a truce, but it looked more like the calm before the storm.

It was said that quite a few Bewilderment Realm experts had fallen on both sides, and even Void Nether powerhouses had been gravely wounded.

Both sides had truly fought with red eyes.

But it was not only there. Since Libra City was far from the Yellow Springs Star System, its attention remained fixed on another place.

The Jadeite Empire from a neighboring star region had formally formed an offensive and defensive alliance with Libra City.

Libra City's status had risen sharply, while the Jadeite Empire had gradually begun sending people to Libra City, stationing rotating legions there.

The Jadeite Empire was incomparably powerful, its territory occupying nearly the entire star region where it was located. It was a true colossal behemoth.

For Libra City to form an offensive and defensive alliance with it, its own foundations and strength were clearly formidable as well. In the eyes of the forces within this star region, Libra City had already become the Jadeite Empire's forward outpost.

This kind of slow infiltration and invasion was the most troublesome. Once the news emerged, Libra City's reputation for fairness and credibility swiftly plummeted.

Over this period, Lu Sheng had seen many shops and street stalls close for good. Every day, he heard of numerous stationed branches of various forces withdrawing from the main city.

Yet Libra City's upper ranks still insisted on maintaining their ties with the Jadeite Empire.
