"They just left like that!"

On the second floor of the temporary parliament center, Montes Clark watched the vehicles disappear into the distance, feeling a sense of loss.

Montes Clark cannot say that Zhang Xuezhou and others' meddling was a bad thing. They not only saved hundreds of Montes Lineage researchers from death, but also stopped the continuation of the civil war and even eliminated the cancer that caused it.

However, Zhang Xuezhou's arrival caused great damage, leading to the alienation of many members of parliament who continuously migrated to the Scarlet Alliance State through sea and air transport.

For Montes Clark, this was a group of people who left a very complicated impression on her.

"Sis, what was that guy Zhang up to? He really just bled some blood out of Grian and left!"

Montes Clark was filled with mixed feelings, while Montes Steel was incredulous, unable to believe that the Scarlet Alliance State had left Brampeda City so easily.

The decapitation operation targeting high- Sequence Holder was no child's play; Zhang Xuezhou and his team had truly taken control of the top echelons of the Aomeijia Alliance.

But the other party gave up too readily.

Aside from insulting Grian, the other party did almost nothing particularly egregious.

Montessler was by no means a young man in his twenties; he had actually witnessed the scenes of civil war within the British Alliance State.

When order is disrupted, and when some people acquire the power to kill that they should not have, this excessive control can drive many people into madness, and dark acts such as killing, looting, and violence will permeate every place.

But Zhang Xuezhou remained calm throughout, even more composed than Nags, the powerful Lineage who took advantage of the chaos to carry out his schemes. He did not succumb to the madness that comes with seizing power.

Aside from getting a severe beating himself, Montes even thought that Zhang Xuezhou had gone to the Aomeijia Alliance to do good deeds.

Although he was somewhat reckless, Montesquieu was well aware of the destructive consequences of ending the civil war in time or allowing it to continue.

"Is he really just a drop of Tugrian's blood?"

Montes Bingo is also difficult to understand.

He looked around.

There were not many people remaining in the temporary parliamentary center in Blanpeda, totaling only about twenty people. Other members of parliament either left early and participated in the meeting through proxies, or left with Zhang Xuezhou and others.

The once bustling parliament is now deserted.

However, this situation was not caused by Zhang Xuezhou. Rather, these members of parliament needed to treat their physical injuries, and they were also afraid that Badun would come back to Branpeda to settle scores.

Treason is an act that would result in the execution of nine generations of one's family in any country, leaving many members of parliament with no other choice.

Montesbingo calculated that Zhang Xuezhou, who was in charge of the operation, had ultimately only managed to collect 500 milliliters of Grean's blood.

"Grian was chosen randomly by them. What's the point of this?"

"Did he just make up an excuse to leave?"

"I get the feeling that this Committee Member Zhang wields a lot of power; it seems like Ren Yisheng, Li Qi, and the others don't have the slightest objection!"

"He's Ren Yisheng's student, why would Ren Yisheng object!"

"I heard he and Ren Anran are a couple, and I think that's the main reason!"

"Don't speculate, these two have no marriage record whatsoever!"

The Montes Lineage members whispered among themselves.

The word 'relaxed' was written all over the faces of the people present.

The Grean Lineage is hopeless; without the Scarlet Alliance State, they wouldn't be able to maintain the overall situation.

Meanwhile, members of the rebel faction either left the Aomeijia Alliance or became prisoners.

With the internal strife within the Aomeijia Alliance quelled, many individuals are now not only able to make public appearances but also quickly fill the power vacuum.

Aside from the man-made disasters caused by war and the natural disasters involved, the Aomeijia Alliance did not have too many problems.

Once Badun recovered, the only change in the Aomeijia Alliance was a slightly smaller population.

Everything seemed to be back on track, but this wasn't the track the Montes Lineage members wanted. Besides, the Montes Lineage's Sequence Holder might need to go to the Scarlet Alliance State for treatment.

Advanced medical care can heal wounds, stop bleeding, and slowly restore the body, but many people are well aware that even after recovery, the body's capabilities will not be as strong as before.

If many people verify its authenticity, or if Badun confirms it upon his return, they will also have a need for it.

Amidst hushed discussions, the Scarlet Alliance State gradually moved away from Brampeda, their conversations continuing.

"Brother Zhang, what are these sketches for?"

Naggus said he would borrow the sword for eleven days and stay by Zhang Xuezhou's side.

Nagos could also access whatever Zhang Xuezhou said, did, or looked at.

Zhang Xuezhou held Ren Anran's toilet paper for a long time; Naggus was indeed very curious.

He felt that Ren Anran's sketches were somewhat abstract, like some kind of comic book content, but Naggus thought that Ren Anran might not be that boring, and Zhang Xuezhou didn't seem like someone who liked reading comic books.

He looked at the towering pagoda that seemed to reach the sky, the humanoid creatures that resembled wronged souls, the densely packed people dressed in red sacrificial robes, and a creature that looked like a bird or a duck.

In addition, the sketches also include objects such as thrones and scepters.

The designs in these images are somewhat exaggerated; Naggus felt they were a bit cartoonish and had little connection to reality.

But Zhang Xuezhou stared at it for too long, and Nags asked around among the people but didn't get a definite answer. Even Ren Anran just shrugged, indicating that she didn't want to talk.

"Could you tell me about your No. 1 Sinkhole?" Zhang Xuezhou asked in return.

"That was a nightmare, and I never want to talk about it again. It's over, there's nothing more to say," Naggus said, shaking his head.

"How many nightmares were there?" Zhang Xuezhou pressed.

"..."

Nags looked at Zhang Xuezhou speechlessly, and for a moment he didn't want to say anything.

He has made it very clear that it was an extremely painful part of his past, and that it was not appropriate to talk about it in front of others, lest it lead to future attacks.

In short, Naggus felt that everything was in the past, his messy affairs were not worth mentioning, and the past was the past, so there was no need to bring it up again.

He is now British Alliance State and will continue to develop and progress with the British Alliance State as its core until the day he dies.

"Could this be the scene at the Sinkhole No. 2?"

Suddenly, his heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help but look at the sketches in Zhang Xuezhou's hand again. A crazy idea surged into his mind.

A normal sinkhole wouldn't be like the one Zhang Xuezhou is depicting. People arrive here by traversing dimensions or space through various means, and the tools they use for this traversal are constantly being worn out.

It's not surprising to die halfway through after exhausting all your resources; it's also normal to have a little bit left after traversing into a new world; and it's also common to have nothing left and your body completely obliterated.

Pioneers are a combination of genius and madness, and the best choice for outlaws; it's a road of no return.

If people like them have any foundation, it's only something that helps them in their cultivation or adapt to the world, or perhaps some kind of treasure.

Naggs had never seen this situation in Zhang Xuezhou's sketches before.

It was not a treasure, nor a piece of empty stone, but an entire landmass.

How is that possible?

Naggus found it hard to imagine such a scene, and he couldn't fathom what colossal entity could have invaded this world to leave behind such a vast area.

He had never heard of such a place in the Scarlet Alliance State before.

For a moment, he became more silent, more curious, and more cautious.
