The old man glanced at Lin Yi and slowly smiled, "Young friend, you're right. The higher the realm, the greater the cost of crossing realms. Although Jiang Xianglong won't personally go through the trials, his Mystic Armor Battalion is composed of the Jiang Family's most elite Martial Artist. They are fearless and have a remarkable record of capturing and killing Three Stars Monster King. I know that your Blue Star has so-called firearms that can kill people from a thousand meters away, but they are still somewhat lacking when dealing with Martial Artist."
Zhu Wen, standing at the back of the crowd, sneered, " Mystic Armor Battalion? Those are the people wearing black armor. I remember there were more than a dozen of them that night, but they were all slaughtered by Senior Lin. One of them even knelt down and begged for mercy. Senior, if the elite you're talking about is just this kind of trash, then we probably don't need to worry."
As he spoke, Zhu Wen took off his coat, revealing a brand-new Mystic Armor Spirit Artifacts, which he had personally stripped from the dead man that night.
Upon hearing Zhu Wen's words, the white-bearded old man fell silent for a moment.
He exaggerated the strength of the Heavenly Saint Martial Kingdom simply to gain more leverage in negotiating cooperation.
Unexpectedly, this Azure Star people was also very eloquent, actually belittling the Jiang Family's Mystic Armor Guard to the point of being worthless.
If the Mystic Armor Guard are truly so incompetent, then what do their battlefield failures over the past few centuries amount to?
It is likely that only when the Azure Star people realize their own weakness will they know to rely on their Heavenly Dawn Martial Kingdom.
After thinking for a moment, the old man said, "Gentlemen, according to the intelligence from our Demon Suppressor Division, Jiang Xianglong may launch a large-scale invasion of you within the next two days. Why don't we wait until you have overcome this crisis before we discuss a deal?"
Elder Chen slowly spoke, "Ah, then see you in a few days."
Ji Qiushui wanted to say something more, but seeing that her master had already cut off the energy supply to the Teleportation Altar, she simply swallowed her words.
Unlike the people of the Heavenly Dawn Martial Kingdom, Ji Qiushui had been exposed to Azure Star's technology for the past few days. After witnessing Blue Star's intercontinental nuclear bombs, her attitude towards the Azure Star people changed drastically.
Perhaps the Born One group of Blue Star is still very weak and its supernatural power is limited, but the technological weapons developed by Blue Star have the power to destroy life on the ground.
Ji Qiushui believed that even if the Martial Domain experts from the Gap World joined forces to invade Blue Star, they might not succeed.
If the Azure Star people were to drop a few nuclear bombs into the Gap World, the entire Gap World would likely collapse and disintegrate instantly.
With that kind of explosive power, no one except those at the Martial Saint realm could survive.
Unfortunately, there were some things she didn't have time to say clearly.
Looking at the large amount of modern goods that Chuben was preparing for the transaction, Elder Chen waved his hand, instructing everyone to move them into the warehouse.
"You all heard that, right? There's probably going to be another tough battle in the next couple of days. Only if we win will others respect us; otherwise, we'll have no say at the negotiating table."
Zhu Wen couldn't help but say, "Don't worry, Elder Chen, with us here, we'll make sure they never leave alive."
"I hope so..."
Elder Chen didn't say much, but his gaze was fixed on Lin Yi and Yu Huachen.
Upon learning that the Heavenly Saint Martial Kingdom was planning a second invasion, everyone made thorough preparations.
Currently, among the Born One group in China, apart from Meng Yilan who just returned to the country, only Lin Yi and Yu Huachen have the ability to wipe out the entire Mystic Armor Battalion squad.
If another Three Stars or Four-star Martial Artist like Jiang Zhufeng were to be teleported this time, even Lin Yi might not dare to say that victory is assured.
Therefore, the force responsible for both the offensive and defensive operations is naturally modern mechanized troops.
That evening, armored vehicles and artillery units were seen heading towards Dragon Tiger Mountain, forming ranks and converging at the foot of the mountain.
A somber atmosphere permeated the entire Dragon Tiger Mountain.
Inside a military tent, Elder Chen was leading Lin Yi, Yu Huachen, Niu Jianjun, Zhang Lingdong, and others in listening to the commander's battle plan.
The commander's surname is Li, and he is a veteran commander in the military region with extensive experience in large-scale troop operations.
He continuously drew and explained on the topographic map of the area surrounding Dragon Tiger Mountain.
"Based on the location where the Mystic Armor Guard last appeared, we have made strict preparations here. If any unusual situation arises, I guarantee this three-hectare forest will be instantly bombarded by artillery..."
"In addition, we have also organized the first defensive armored formation in case any Martial Artist to escape..."
"Considering the so-called Martial Spirit, we have deployed drones for monitoring. As soon as any Martial Spirit breaks through the encirclement, the artillery units will quickly retreat... The only problem now is that we cannot guarantee that the new invaders will appear in the same location as last time."
Zhang Lingdong said, "I heard from Qiu Shui that the only weak point in the space between Blue Star and the Gap World is currently Dragon Tiger Mountain, so the people from the Heavenly Saint Martial Kingdom will most likely appear here."
Commander Li, a meticulous man, couldn't help but press Yu, "High probability? May I ask, Commander Yu, what is the probability?"
Lin Yi replied to Yu: "It should be a 90% probability, but it cannot be ruled out that the Heavenly Saint Martial Kingdom has already discovered a second teleportation point."
He also inquired about the teleportation point from Jiang Yanying, and it was indeed the same as what Ji Qiushui had said.
Commander Li nodded. "Then so be it. As long as the enemy is still here, I guarantee I'll let them witness the power of modern weaponry and leave them with an Gu Nan memory."
At this moment, Old Elder Chen asked Yu, "Have all the people in the nearby towns been evacuated?"
Zhu Wen hurriedly said, "I've cooperated with the government to evacuate most of the troops, but we can't hide the fact that we've mobilized a large number of artillery units. Right now, the internet is full of discussions about this."
"Let them discuss it. Someone will know that we are protecting the world from invading foreign powers..."
In Linhe City, in the upscale residential area where Lin Yi's villa is located.
Inside a villa, Jiang Zhufeng's figure appeared.
He leaned back on the large sofa, watching the official news on TV reporting that military exercises were being conducted in Dragon Tiger Mountain, and that ordinary people should not approach the area.
Ji Fengyu was leaning against the corner in a disheveled state, his nose and eyes swollen, eating a bucket of Master Kang instant noodles.
Judging from his disheveled appearance, he probably gets beaten up every day.
"I said, when are you going to release me? Capturing me is useless, the Spirit Crystal Dao Jade Fragment isn't on me."
At that moment, the television screen flashed images of troops deploying a large number of artillery pieces, Jiang Zhufeng couldn't help but frown.
He has some knowledge of Blue Star.
If the Azure Star people were to deploy modern weapons and defensive measures on Dragon Tiger Mountain, even if the Heavenly Saint Martial Kingdom sent over a large number of elite Mystic Armor Guards, they would be nothing more than dust under the gunfire.
Ji Fengyu glanced at the content on the TV and couldn't help but finish the instant noodle soup in one gulp. He then wiped his mouth and said, "Didn't you betray your country? Why are you still worried about the people of the Heavenly Saint Martial Kingdom? In my opinion, the more people they die, the less likely they are to come looking for you."
"Shut up!"
"Fine, I won't say anything more."
Ji Fengyu decisively pulled his hand in front of my mouth, signaling me to shut up.
It's no wonder he was so obedient; during the time he was Jiang Zhufeng, he was often disciplined by him.
Now, not only is his True Qi sealed, but both of his leg bones are also broken, so he can't run away even if he wants to.
At this moment, Ji Fengyu, who was leaning against the window, saw a figure flash by in the distance and quickly said, "Brother Jiang, the woman you've been watching has come out again."
In a villa in the distance, Ginger Frost, dressed in thermal underwear, came out to take out the trash.
Ji Fengyu peeked out and commented, "This woman truly lives up to her reputation as Descendant; she's already broken through to become a martial artist in just a few days. Brother Jiang, you've brought me all this way to find her. Who is she to you? Could it be that you've been to Blue Star before? Is she your daughter or an old flame...?"
Before Ji Fengyu could finish speaking, he was kicked in the face by the impatient Jiang Zhufeng, who instantly knocked him unconscious and slid to the ground along the wall.
The instant noodle soup, which he hadn't fully swallowed, dribbled down the corner of his mouth, and a large shoe print appeared on his swollen face.
"I've hit you so many times, but you still don't learn your lesson. You deserve a beating!"
Gazing at Ginger Frost's figure in the distance, Jiang Zhufeng revealed a hint of longing, as if recalling some beautiful memories from the past.
However, when Jiang Zhufeng saw a young man in a light blue police uniform enter the villa where Ginger Frost was, Jiang Zhufeng expression changed instantly.
In Lin Yi's villa, Liu Bo was as comfortable as if he were at home, leaning back on the large sofa and eating the fruit that Ginger Frost had washed.
"Sister Xue, did Brother Yi say when he'll be back? He's been gone for over ten days since his trip to Dragon Tiger Mountain."
While tidying up the clutter, Ginger Frost said, "Didn't you see the news? I suspect there's been Monster attack on Dragon Tiger Mountain."
"What kind of Monster invasion warrants such a grand commotion? Wow, they practically brought out our East Wind! I heard it's an enemy discovered from the Heavenly Initiate World. Didn't you hear Brother Yi mention it?"
Ginger Frost shook her head. "If you, as an official, don't know, how could I possibly know? As for the boss, he would never tell me such top-secret information, but..."
"But what?"
"However, a few days ago, the boss broke through to become a martial artist in the Heavenly Initiate World."
"A martial artist? Are you kidding me? Brother Yi has been a martial artist for a long time..."
After chatting for a while, Liu Bo didn't get the inside information he wanted to know. Just as he was about to leave, he noticed a lone person standing outside the villa.
This person was none other than Jiang Zhufeng.
Upon seeing Jiang Zhufeng, Liu Bo's first reaction was that the man looked familiar. Then, his eyelids twitched, and he remembered the wanted notice issued by the authorities a few days earlier.
[ Jiang Zhufeng: Top secret identity, formidable strength, a professional-level expert. Those who discover him are strictly prohibited from arresting him without prior notification to headquarters...]
Upon realizing that Ginger Frost had already broken through to become Professional level Martial Artist, Liu Bo immediately shouted, "Holy crap, Sister Xue, come out quickly, there's a big one!"
But when Ginger Frost stepped out of the villa and saw Jiang Zhufeng, her almost forgotten deep memories surged back instantly.
"Chasing... the wind?"
Jiang Zhufeng smiled, the murderous intent on his face vanishing. " Hanxue, you still remember me..."
