Chapter 150: Successive Ambushes

After traveling several kilometers with the convoy, Zhang Liang and his companions quietly broke away from the main group and, under the cover of predawn darkness, sped toward Homs.

He didn’t greet Cui Zhongjiu and the others; among people like them, such formalities were unnecessary. If the opportunity arose, he would repay this favor.

“I have activated tracking. Everyone, converge on my location.”

Using a secret code unique to the Asian region, Whale sent a message to all allied units around. The area was in chaos, and he had to ensure that nothing went wrong with the mission.

Soon, Whale’s team members were the first to arrive.

Just as everyone and the beasts prepared to seize the treasure, all eyes suddenly froze in place, and their bodies, poised to strike, stood motionless.

A boy of seven or eight, rejected by the entire town, receiving no aid, surviving only on scraps—such harsh days would break most people. Given the chance, anyone would leave to seek a better life elsewhere.

The brown-furred winged rat caught the pill without hesitation and swallowed it. It knew Ye Cuo would never again give it a poisonous pill.

Gradually, everyone realized that alongside the imperial dragon, there was a man on horseback, hidden beneath the dragon’s immense bulk. No one had noticed this rider among the countless burrowing beasts that appeared with the imperial dragon.

Celia was also troubled by this. Cherie was gentle and soft-hearted but did not like anyone damaging her garden.

“Lilith, please take Celia back. I’ll bring Aivila and Doris to see the elders outside,” Melansa said, turning to Lilith, who was watching Celia, then leading Aivila and Doris ahead.

The chief pharmacist Nu, upon hearing this, bowed deeply and knelt, expressing heartfelt gratitude: “The chieftain’s mercy in sparing my life despite past grievances is something Nu will never forget.” Ogedei ordered him to sit, and Nu, looking very reserved, took a seat to the side.

Thinking of Ma Shao and others at the 23rd New Recruit Base, Mo Fan couldn’t help but look curiously at this Lu Gao.

Li Yan showed no awareness of the situation. Even intelligence agents had limited knowledge about Zheng Zhilong’s intelligence capabilities. Thus, many coastal regions still followed previous orders, merely strengthening coastal defenses slightly.

At first, Mo Fan was shocked, but upon seeing the true face of the massive head, he couldn’t help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

“Please don’t make that awkward expression, alright? It looks really disgusting,” she said, her face filled with genuine disdain.

After leaving Daijun City, the two traveled southward. Three days later, they arrived once again at Qiuyue City.

Unexpectedly, the Destroyer Supreme God shook his head abruptly. He had no desire to be the first to act; in a 2v2, whoever strikes first gains no advantage—this was common sense.

“Well done. Your strength likely won’t allow you to complete tasks requiring many immortal skills. But this one, you might be able to handle. Sending you to the Nine Ascents Sect will be overseen by the elders within the sect,” the steward said.

Farewells always brought tears. No one knew how many years would pass before they met again. The heart was filled with reluctance. Finally, returning to the mortal world, they were once more in the familiar Great Capital.

Today was not a day for worship, so he met no one. At the Fushan Mountain God Temple, Hanye entered, knelt, and solemnly bowed three times before beginning to state his identity in detail.

Chen Yu, who understood the situation well, had little to say. After a few polite words, he quietly watched the door open and close.

Captain Xu knew his mind had wandered; his spirit was unsettled. Continuing to train would be futile, so he requested a rest from Ding Yantian.

Finally, Jinri fell amid his roars. He had no strength left, only hysterically shouting, hoping to awaken his beloved son.

This unbelievable scene left the Wild Wolf Brigade dumbfounded, unable to believe anyone in the world possessed such astonishing abilities. Cha Mu Yin was even more horrified; the dagger in his hand felt as if it had been driven into a rock, immovable. No matter how hard he tried, it did not budge an inch.
