Chapter 268 Border Crisis
After nearly a year of cultivation, Li Jie had completely absorbed the world essence that Gu Chen had left in the Peach Garden Illusion.
The lush peach blossoms that bloomed on the towering tree gradually fell and turned to dust.
Without the support of the world's origin, this illusion finally could not continue and shattered.
Li Jie successfully returned to his study in the Heavenly Wolf King City.
Gu Chen, clad in a gilded royal robe, knelt behind the desk, smiling as he watched the white-haired youth whose strength had greatly improved.
"It seems... the absorption is going smoothly."
"You must be a unique existence in that world too."
Hearing that familiar voice, Li Jie chuckled and nodded.
"Thank you."
"No need to thank me, because we are one..."
"Judging by the time, it's about time to say goodbye."
After speaking, Gu Chen pointed his fingers and summoned the broken sword enshrined on the shelf.
He gripped the sword hilt tightly and made a light slash in the air beside him.
A spatial rift, only large enough for one person to pass through, suddenly appeared.
"After this parting, I fear we may never meet again."
"Go do what you're supposed to do, and hopefully, there won't be so many regrets left in your world."
At this point, Gu Chen looked at the broken sword in his hand with a sorrowful expression.
"This sword has lost its spirit and is useless to you. Let it dissipate with me into the river of time..."
Although it was clear that Gu Chen had many stories left to tell, they simply didn't have the time.
After the origin of the world disappeared, not only did that illusionary realm cease to function, but even Gu Chen's figure became illusory.
"Please say goodbye to Qin Lang for me and tell him not to be so impulsive next time."
"Okay, I will pass it on."
"besides......."
"Actually, you don't need to care about what happens to us. After all, we're already corpses."
Hearing this, Gu Chen was very moved, but he still smiled calmly and reminded him.
"Live well, I don't want to see you in another world too soon."
"must."
After saying those two words, Li Jie took a deep breath and slowly walked towards the spacetime rift.
"See you again if we are destined."
.........
The border of the Great Xia Dynasty, the East China Sea.
Ye Fan's expression darkened slightly as he looked at the crimson light surging outside the high walls of mist.
"coming."
Because Zuo Qing has not yet reached the human ceiling, he is still accompanying Ye Fan on the defense mission of the East China Sea border.
"Looks like... quite a large operation..."
"If it weren't for Chairman Ji receiving advance notice, the Great Xia border defenses really wouldn't have been able to hold out under such an offensive."
“Who says it’s not…?”
"Have the missions for [Medium], [Phoenix], and [Masked] been arranged?"
"Alright, don't worry about that. I already gave them missions to go to the other three borders. But... do you really trust me that much?"
"You only brought me with you to the East China Sea this time. You should at least have kept some backup plans."
Upon hearing this, Ye Fan smiled calmly.
"Apart from special squads, other squads have basically never participated in such intense warfare; coming here would just mean certain death."
"Rather than letting them sacrifice themselves in vain, it's better to leave them in a safer place to train them, at least there's still hope for their survival."
Upon hearing this, Zuo Qing chuckled and cursed.
"You old bastard, are you even going to drag me down with you when you die? I wonder what I did to you in my past life..."
Zuo Qing knew that Ye Fan's words showed that his commander-in-chief was prepared to sacrifice himself at any moment.
Ye Fan did not answer, but simply tightened the cloak on his shoulders, gripped the hilt of his sword, and waited quietly.
In this war, the Night's Watch mobilized its entire high command.
Master is good at defense, so Ye Fan equipped him with the sharpest spear: the [Spirit Medium] team. In this way, the South China Sea should be able to hold out for a while longer.
Guan Zai's attack method was very unique, so Ye Fan sent him to the northern ice plains to guard the treacherous natural barrier.
The terrain there is extremely complex. Unless a god intervenes, it is virtually impossible for any creature to infiltrate Great Xia alive, thanks to the World Engine.
Therefore, he only provided some logistical support personnel for Guan and assigned Zhou Ping to a position closer to the northern border.
Therefore, the northern part of the Great Xia can be said to be the battlefield that Ye Fan is most at ease with.
As for Western Xinjiang...
Ye Fan dispatched a large number of troops to guard the area. The uninhabited area was too vast, and if the invaders were hiding in the sandstorm, they would be impossible to distinguish with the naked eye.
From this perspective, Lu Wuwei, who is skilled at tracking, is the perfect candidate to guard the Western Frontier. Similarly, Ye Fan has deployed two special teams, [Phoenix] and [Mask], in the Western Frontier.
Even if some escaped the net, they can still bear some of the pressure.
Finally... only the East China Sea, which is closest to the heart of the Great Xia Dynasty, remains.
Ye Fan only brought Zuo Qing with him. If Li Jie or Lin Qiye were here, there would probably be more young people.
But since they disappeared a year ago, he hasn't heard a single word from them.
Having exhausted all other options, he could only hope that the offensive here wouldn't be too fierce.
"Something seems... a bit off."
Ye Fan, who was staring blankly at the coastline, followed Zuo Qing's gaze into the distance after hearing his voice.
Above the high walls of mist, a gigantic bird, as tall as a mountain, suddenly appeared, its scarlet light piercing through the mist and reflecting off the churning sea.
"That is......."
Garuda.
"Indian gods? Are they going to make a move too...?"
"They suffered a loss at the hands of Zhou Ping and Erlang Shen, so they should come to the Great Xia to settle the score."
"Sigh...it seems...Zhou Ping showed mercy after all."
"Let's go, let's go and have a go at this birdman. Even if we can't beat him, we'll at least take off his wings!"
After saying this, the two exchanged a glance, and then rushed headlong into the crimson light reflecting off the horizon where the sea met the sky.
Abnormal information was also reported from the borders in the other three directions.
The war is about to break out!
