Changdao started to get messy after days of silence, and the chaos lasted from night to day. After days of being repressed, the city that had turned into a battlefield finally started to get noisy.
An originally ordinary investigation.
An originally easy encirclement.
The running away and killing that lasted for a whole night broke days of silence in Changdao. Whether Zhongzhou State, East Island, or the other superpowers in Changdao didn’t expect that, in the midnight of the third day and the early morning of the fourth day, the coming final battle just started.
The sleepless night turned into a sunrise. Everything was raging like a storm inside the battlefield of Changdao.
Group after group of Zhongzhou State elites left the club, and thousands of people from Zhongzhou State almost filled up the three defensive zones over a night.
Search.
East Island made a reaction almost instantly; the army that was still on the road sped up and gathered, and the elites from the Special Warfare System came out from the hidden sites group by group.
Pursuit.
In the general trend, even superiors of the Invincible Realm had to struggle like ants.
But similarly, in the general trend, the hostile two or more parties had important people that they had to protect or kill.
For example, Wang Shengxiao from the Wang family of Beihai.
And Gu Hanshan, the Young Master of Kunlun City.
And, Li Tianlan, the Young Master of Sigh City.
In the eyes of real superiors, they were the future Heavenly Sons and the future superiors of the Invincible Realm. But from another perspective, future superiors of the Invincible Realm meant that they were nothing right now. They were too young and naive, after all. They needed killing and practice, and they needed to grow in blood and fire. In the final battle pushed by the general trend, they were at most a turning point, a critical turning point.
The combat capability of the three people wasn’t the best, but any of them had the worth of changing or even overturning the general trend.
Wang Shengxiao was the future patriarch of the Wang family of Beihai and very likely the future number one figure on the Divine List. If anything happened to him, the Wang family of Beihai would definitely come to rescue.
In less than twenty years since Kunlun City made a name for itself in Zhongzhou State, Gu Hanshan, who had Heavenly King Heart, was one of the most important figures who stabilized the authority. He was also capable of changing the standpoint of Kunlun City.
Sigh City and Samsara Palace were behind Li Tianlan. If East Island caught Li Tianlan, at least the standpoint of Samsara Palace out of these two superpowers would be threatened by East Island.
In this final battle, the three of them would definitely be protected by Zhongzhou State and be fought over by East Island. As long as any of them was captured alive, they could change part of the big picture.
Li Tianlan’s appearance made everyone realize an important turning point. Nobody could expect that such a figure would appear in an ordinary investigation before the final battle. At the moment his location was confirmed, all the information about him almost instantly reached to Shinichi Miyamoto, the leader of the Divine Wind Force.
Then it was the encirclement.
The first killing had happened in Changdao after days of being silent, then came with conflicts and chaos.
East Island was pursuing.
Zhongzhou State was rescuing.
Over a night, there had been more than ten fights between the two parties in different areas. But neither of them had made up their mind whether to use this opportunity to start a battle of life and death.
But the killing had broken out, and it wouldn’t be easy to be safe anymore.
Awkward.
Shinichi Miyamoto started to feel awkward for the first time. If he had had one more day, he could have prepared everything really well, then initiated the final battle. In that case, he wouldn’t have anyone to fear in the land of Changdao.
But just a day’s difference, the turning point of the final battle suddenly appeared.
And this turning point was called Li Tianlan.
At present, Li Tianlan was definitely one of the most crucial figures in this final battle. All the signs showed that this young Heavenly Son, who appeared in Zhongzhou State a few months ago, had gotten all the attention from several superpowers. Even the Jiang family of South America and Knights Templars had vague attitudes toward him; one tried to kill him, while the other tried to capture him alive, let alone Sigh City and Samsara Palace behind him.
Shinichi Miyamoto didn’t know what were they planning, but he was well aware that getting the control over Li Tianlan would be good for East Island’s current passive situation.
If Wang Shengxiao and Gu Hanshan appeared this time, Shinichi Miyamoto could swallow the impulsion inside him, but Li Tianlan’s appearance made him hesitate a lot. It would be a pity not to seize such a rare opportunity, but he didn’t prepare enough to catch this chance. There was only a day, but the whole battle of Changdao only lasted seven days. Once the final battle began, all the superpowers in the Dark World would all get involved. One day was enough for a lot of changes.
The sunlight sprinkled on every corner on the mountain and baked the low hills. The military tents reflected dazzling light.
Shinichi Miyamoto stood still in front of his own tent, watching the darkness turn into light, like a sculpture.
Here was the East Island’s temporary headquarter for this final battle. It wasn’t in a place where people lived. Instead, it was located on a low hill with no human trace. The tents were put up one after another on the hill.
In this final battle, eighty percent of East Island’s most effective elites were here.
And the only superior of the Invincible Realm from East Island, the Palace Master of Liuhuo Palace, the leader of Divine Wind Force, Shinichi Miyamoto, had been here since day one.
The final battle was getting closer and closer, but Shinichi Miyamoto’s mental state was calmer and calmer. However, the news of Li Tianlan messed up his thoughts. He had been standing here for a whole night, but he was still struggling inside, non-stopping.
What do you guys think?
Under the sun, Shinichi Miyamoto suddenly spoke after a long silence. He was wearing a grey ninja outfit, and even his face was covered up, like a faint shadow in daylight.
We have to have control over Li Tianlan. This is such a good opportunity, and it will be gone soon. Your Highness, we can’t hesitate.
The High Priest of Ise Grand Shrine, Tian Yue, stated his standpoint instantly. In the battle where he encircled Li Baitian, Dongcheng Rushi and their team in Kyoto, he was heavily injured and still hadn’t recovered. But now his tone sounded determined, almost resolute.
This person is extremely important in this battle. Not only the inside of Zhongzhou State but also Samsara Palace will all be affected by him. This is a very crucial person, and we should take the initiative.
The left advisor of Wuji Palace, Heavenly Hound, said in a low tone.
Everyone on the scene, especially the ones who could stand in front of Shinichi Miyamoto, were all important figures in the Special Warfare System of East Island. There were high-level officials from Divine Wind Force, the leader of Shinto, the left and right visiting professor from Wuji Palace, the key figures from Liuhuo Palace and Jifeng Sword-reining School. In the coming final battle, every one of them was the crucial source of combat capability. If they had the same attitude toward the final battle, they would be bigger than Shinichi Miyamoto’s own willpower.
What is Your Highness worried about?
Tide and Glacier asked at the same time. These tow superiors of the Half-step Invincible Realm were the left and right guards who had really high status around the Mikado. Their question seemed to state their standpoint.
I worry that this may be the bait Zhongzhou State left for us.
Shinichi Miyamoto took a deep breath and said in a low tone,
It was such a coincidence that Li Tianlan’s location was exposed. This may be an opportunity or a trap.
Glacier and Tide exchanged a look, then spoke at the same time again. They said blandly,
This is East Island.
Shinichi Miyamoto put on a bitter smile.
This was indeed East Island, but this was the conflict in the Dark World. A lot of East Island elites were trapped in Huating, Zhongzhou State. Right now their power was limited. In a situation where they couldn’t use the peripheral army, what difference did it make if this was East Island or not?
I support the final battle.
A loud, clear voice rang out.
This is our land. We have such a good opportunity right now, so why can’t we take it? We haven’t prepared well, but everybody else is the same. No matter what, we have advantages over them.
Shinichi Miyamoto’s eyes squinted, and he looked impassive.
Crown Prince Rende was the one talking. Glacier and Tide, the two superiors from the royals had stated their standpoint. Naturally, it was no need to question Crown Prince Rende’s standpoint.
He forced himself to calm down and suddenly said,
Excuse me, I have to make a phone call.
In everyone’s confused stare, he walked aside and dialed a number.
It wasn’t the Mikado or the prime minister but was a number of someone outside East Island.
Your Highness Miyamoto?
Through the phone, a lazy, laughing voice rang out.
How can I help you?
Li Tianlan!
Shinichi Miyamoto got directly into the topic and said in a low voice,
He has appeared. Evil, why didn’t you make a move?
Through the phone, the current only assassin of the Invincible Realm in the Dark World got quiet.
After a while, he said blandly,
Believe it or not, I have to say that I have observed Li Tianlan. Right now I’m only a couple of hundred meters away from him, and he’s alone. But I feel that he’s dangerous. At least, for now, I don’t stand a chance to win, so I’m still waiting for an opportunity.
Dangerous?!
Shinichi Miyamoto raised his eyebrows out of shock.
Yes, he’s dangerous.
Evil sounded serious and yet confused.
Shinichi Miyamoto didn’t say anything else and hung up the phone with a poker face.
He stood there, and after a long silence, he suddenly turned around and said,
Transmit order!
The bodies of the East Island superiors who had been waiting for Shinichi Miyamoto’s final decision shook violently.
Catch Li Tianlan, whatever it takes.
Shinichi Miyamoto said word by word,
Even it will officially start the final battle!
In the end, he acknowledged Crown Prince Rende’s judgment. Seven days were too short. Even if Li Tianlan might be the bait, and East Island hadn’t prepared enough, Zhongzhou State might be the same.
If the final battle started now, they still had advantages.
But what Shinichi Miyamoto didn’t know was, Zhongzhou State indeed hadn’t prepared enough, but it wasn’t Zhongzhou State who left Li Tianlan as bait.
If it wasn’t for this mysterious person who came to stir up the scene, Li Tianlan’s investigation wouldn’t be exposed.
If the final battle happened now, none of the superpowers that East Island could lay eyes on had made full preparation.
But there was a mysterious superpower which had been waiting for so long.
With the known and unknown situations, East Island gathered all the strength and started to act up.
The final battle officially broke out!
…
At the same time.
In the cold, quiet downtown area of Changdao, in front of a suite door in a hotel, a man in white clothes and pants levered opened the suite door in front of him.
Someone inside the room opened the door and looked at the man in white like looking into a mirror.
Inside and outside the door, two men in white with similar appearance and aura stood there face to face; they were like a mirror to each other.
The man inside the door had a vague expression, and his eyes looked complicated and confused.
The man outside the door stayed quiet, and his eyes looked complicated and sad.
Daybreak.
Dawn.
Did it go well?
After a short silence, Daybreak, who stood inside the room, took the initiative. His voice sounded raspy.
It went well.
Dawn nodded.
It went better than expected. I just killed a superior of the Thunder-shocking Realm, and they exposed themselves. The Big Dipper personally led people to pursue them, ha…
Your face looked wrong.
Daybreak stayed silent for a while, then moved aside and let Dawn in. Then he said slowly,
What happened?
Dawn’s face twitched rapidly. He opened his mouth but didn’t say anything.
What the hell happened?!
Daybreak raised his eyebrows, and his handsome, coquettish face started to look sharp.
Tianji… Tianji is dead.
Dawn said with a raspy voice,
He died with the Big Dipper. I saw it myself.
Daybreak’s pupils instantly contracted. He lifted his hand and slapped Dawn on his face.
Why didn’t you save him?!
Daybreak yelled in his low voice. There was obvious pain in his eyes, and his coquettish face suddenly turned ferocious.
If I saved him… I would be exposed. I can beat the Big Dipper, but the price is too high.
Dawn lowered his head and said in a deep, tired voice,
Brother, His Highness will be in Changdao in three hours.
Daybreak gritted his teeth hard. After a while, he sighed and mumbled.
What does His Highness want?
Dawn let out a bitter laugh but didn’t say anything.
The phone suddenly rang.
Daybreak took out the phone and looked at the number, then answered the call and said in a low voice,
Your Highness.
His Highness has gone to Ninghu. He wanted to tell you that, go meet him at Ninghu when you finish the business in Changdao.
In the phone, a cold female voice with infinite killing intent rang out.
Phoenix?
Daybreak called her name in surprise, then frowned.
His Highness has gone to Ninghu? What’s he doing in Ninghu right now?
The Young Master was killed.
In the phone, the woman with the code name Phoenix said coldly, then hung up the phone.
A simple sentence exploded like thunder in Daybreak’s ears. It was so shocking to him.
At that moment, Daybreak’s face turned extremely pale.
