Upon hearing Lu Daosheng's words, Yu Qingfeng was momentarily stunned, then his expression darkened.
He understood this matter as well.
But looking at Jiang Bei's appearance at this moment...
Alas, Yu Qingfeng sighed helplessly.
He glanced at Lu Daosheng, then recalled the terrifying scene from earlier, and Yu Qingfeng suddenly understood Jiang Bei.
He had been invincible his entire life, and suddenly being utterly crushed—it would be strange if his mentality didn't explode.
Now, he could only hope that Jiang Bei truly could overcome this hurdle.
Just like that, Yu Qingfeng and Lu Daosheng quietly waited for Jiang Bei, and this wait lasted for several months.
......
Xuanling Star Region.
These days, many major and minor events had also occurred in the Xuanling Star Region.
One of these events was the great war between the Realm Alliance and Divine Mountain.
Both forces were among the top major powers within the Xuanling Star Region.
However, Divine Mountain's overall strength was originally inferior to the Realm Alliance's, yet unexpectedly, Divine Mountain had gained another Divine Lord Realm expert.
Within the Xuanling Star Region, a Divine Lord Realm expert was already an extremely terrifying existence.
They were basically the kind of beings one rarely saw.
And with Divine Mountain suddenly gaining a Divine Lord Realm expert, the gap in strength between the two sides was almost instantly closed.
Divine Mountain had been suppressed by the Realm Alliance for so long that grievances had long been accumulating, so on the second day after Divine Mountain's Divine Lord Realm expert achieved a Breakthrough, Divine Mountain launched a counterattack against the Realm Alliance.
Xuanling Star Region, Nether Realm.
This was the Realm Alliance's main base.
On top of a pitch-black tall tower, the Realm Alliance's high-ranking officials were holding a meeting inside.
It's worth mentioning that this tall tower looked very new, seemingly having just been constructed.
"Lord Wen, we have already lost a lot of territory."
Inside the highest level, a Divine Realm expert said with a somber expression.
Ever since Divine Mountain began its counterattack, their Realm Alliance had been caught completely off guard, suffering continuous defeats.
Hearing this, the expert referred to as Lord Wen frowned tightly, but then sighed.
"Understood, you may leave first."
"Yes, Lord Wen, this subordinate takes his leave."
After he left, Wen Hong slowly walked to the window, his gaze fixed on the distant horizon; he had clearly become much more haggard these days.
"Why do I have such an ominous feeling?"
Wen Hong murmured.
These days, he constantly felt uneasy, and this was not because their Realm Alliance was being beaten back repeatedly.
In fact, he had never truly taken Divine Mountain seriously from the start.
A mere Divine Mountain, nothing more than that.
What he worried about was whether all of this was a trap targeting his Realm Alliance.
Because it was too coincidental.
Most of their Realm Alliance's high-ranking officials had just been severely injured by a mysterious expert when Divine Mountain gained a Divine Lord Realm expert and directly attacked.
And because those experts of their Realm Alliance were still in secluded cultivation healing their injuries, their Realm Alliance had chosen to consolidate their forces.
Otherwise, even if Divine Mountain produced two more Divine Lords, his Realm Alliance would not be afraid.
Could it be that all of this was truly being manipulated by some top-tier expert in the dark?
Wen Hong's expression immediately became extremely solemn.
If this were true, then how terrifying would the other party be, and what was their objective?
Also, who exactly was the mysterious expert who ambushed the Alliance Chief and the others, and was he connected to these events?
All sorts of doubts filled his mind.
And just then, a burst of Qi suddenly surged from within the black tower.
The next moment, footsteps sounded, and a middle-aged man slowly walked beside Wen Hong.
"Congratulations to the Alliance Chief on coming out of seclusion."
Seeing the middle-aged man, Wen Hong immediately spoke respectfully.
This middle-aged man before him was the Alliance Chief of the Realm Alliance, a terrifying expert at the Peak of the Divine Lord Realm.
However, even such an expert had been injured by a single strike from that mysterious expert not long ago, without even knowing who the other party was or where he made his move.
Including the Vice Alliance Chief and the others, none were an exception.
"Wen Hong, you've worked hard these days."
Looking at Wen Hong, Han Shaochen spoke.
Immediately, Wen Hong directly told Han Shaochen everything that had happened these days, including his own conjectures, without missing a single word.
Upon hearing all this, Han Shaochen was stunned.
After a moment of silence, Han Shaochen shook his head.
"Wen Hong, you are too cautious. A trap set by a terrifying expert? Haha, then I ask you, what does he seek by setting this trap? To destroy my Realm Alliance? Then why doesn't he do it himself?"
Hearing this, Wen Hong fell silent.
These were also his doubts; in fact, these were all just his conjectures.
Seeing Wen Hong's silence, the Realm Alliance Chief Han Shaochen shook his head.
"Wen Hong, you've probably worried too much these days and developed some delusions. Don't worry about the Realm Alliance's matters anymore; take a good rest. We'll handle the rest."
Upon hearing this, Wen Hong was somewhat incredulous.
"Alliance Chief, this..."
"Alright, that's enough."
Looking at Han Shaochen's somewhat cold expression, Wen Hong fell silent.
Finally, Wen Hong left.
As he left, his face was clearly somewhat angry, but also carried a hint of helplessness.
He had dedicated himself to the Realm Alliance, yet in the end, this was his fate. But there was nothing he could do, because this time he had touched upon the interests of the high-ranking officials.
Early retirement was somewhat expected, he just hadn't thought it would be so soon.
In the starry sky, Wen Hong looked back at the Realm Alliance one last time, then shook his head slightly.
"Next, where should I go?"
Wen Hong looked out at the endless starry sky, his eyes filled with confusion, and walked slowly forward aimlessly.
Within the Realm Alliance.
"Alliance Chief, that fellow Wen Hong does have some talent. Is what we're doing a bit improper?"
Beside Han Shaochen, a dark figure spoke.
Hearing this, Han Shaochen said nothing, merely gazing indifferently out the window.
And just then, several more bursts of Qi surged from the depths of the black tower, and powerful Qi continuously permeated from within the black tower.
They had come out of seclusion!
All the Realm Alliance experts who had been injured by that mysterious expert had fully recovered and emerged from seclusion.
"Divine Mountain, your good days have come to an end."
Immediately, within the Nether Realm, countless experts surged forth, heading towards Divine Mountain's direction.
For a time, war broke out again.
......
Wanling Realm, within Huang City.
These days, Huang City had entered a long period of ease and tranquility.
And under the immense resources within Huang City, Huang City's strength also began to develop rapidly.
Currently, Huang City had already become a transcendent force within the Wanling Realm.
The Human Race's status within the Wanling Realm had also returned to its former glory, or even surpassed it.
"Brother Gu, has the City Lord not returned yet?"
Inside Ancient Dust's residence, Emperor Ming, the Clan Chief of the Undying Emperor Clan, asked for the nth time.
At this moment, Ancient Dust's expression was somewhat impatient.
"Clan Chief Di, I have already said many times, our City Lord is out handling matters. I will inform you when he returns."
Hearing this, Emperor Ming nodded with a slight hint of disappointment.
At this moment, he deeply regretted not having joined Huang City with his entire clan, like the Longevity Immortal Clan, at that time.
Look at the Longevity Immortal Clan now; many of their clan's Genius experts have already begun to reside in Huang City, and they receive no small treatment. That Li Changyue's mouth is practically grinning to the back of his head.
He felt incredibly uncomfortable whenever he saw that guy's smug face now.
"Brother Gu, you must help me. My Undying Emperor Clan is very sincere."
Hearing this, Ancient Dust merely nodded, then waved his hand.
Seeing this, Emperor Ming sighed, then slowly left.
