Chapter 461: Is This Your Dog?

The barbarians had emerged!

He had guessed right about the external threat.

The barbarians walked out of the Boundless Mountain Range and charged towards the Luori Prefecture.

Fortunately, the Yu Nation was already prepared, be it the mobilization of the Prefecture Army or the dispatch of experts.

The armies of the three prefectures in the southwest had gathered behind Sunset Cliff in Luori Prefecture last night.

Experts in the top ranks had also gathered in New Fate City early this morning.

Apart from that, Su Jingxing also sent the leader of the Winged Ones, Sha Lou, to wait outside New Fate City.

Sha Lou was in the Transcendent-grade. After leaving the sealed area in the Southern Wilderness, he had been recovering his strength on Green Cloud Mountain.

After half a year, Sha Lou had more or less recovered his strength.

With Sha Lou holding the fort, even a Transcendent-grade barbarian could be stopped.

Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul knew very well.

The mastermind was causing internal and external trouble for the Yu Nation mainly to reduce his strength and prevent him from controlling the Kingdom Defending Jade Seal to fight.

The other party did not want to destroy the Yu Nation, but Su Jingxing!

Therefore, be it barbarians or cyber wars, it would only be chaotic for a while.

Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul knew this, and so did Guan Zhonghua, Xiao Renwo, and the others.

Therefore, in the face of the internal disturbance and external aggression, the cabinet did not panic at all.

If they were really nervous, it was because they did not expect the mastermind to explode in advance.

This explosion basically concluded that they already knew about Xiang Yilong’s surrender.

As such, the chaos that was supposed to erupt in the early hours of the night had been stirred up early in the morning.

At the beginning of the online war, they were caught off guard and forced to retreat. However, after they returned to their senses, they quickly stabilized the situation.

Gathering the cyber experts of the Yu Nation and the original New Chu Nation to fight the hackers gathered by the mastermind.

The two sides clashed fiercely on the Internet.

However, the government’s resources were the government’s resources after all. Before long, they stabilized the situation and gained the upper hand.

Good news came from the Luori Prefecture. Although the barbarians had left the mountain, they were intercepted at the periphery before they could even get close to Sunset Cliff. Cannon shells washed the ground, and there were countless casualties.

Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul had moved the Blood Doppelganger to Sunset Cliff last night.

At this moment, the Blood Doppelganger had curled up into a mass and was wandering around the battlefield, extracting a large number of cards.

Although he couldn’t extract Martial Arts Practice Cards from the barbarians who rushed out of the Boundless Mountain Range, he should be able to extract Function Cards like the Mighty Strength Card, Essence Origin Card, and Soul Separation Card.

Both the inside and outside were stable.

Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul left the capital and came to a mountain dozens of miles away, quietly waiting for the mastermind to arrive.

Before long, in just half an hour, a black cloud appeared on the distant horizon.

“Haha, Martial Sage Kong, are you specially waiting for me here?”

A carefree laugh sounded. When the black cloud approached the mountain where Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul was, it dissipated into nothingness, revealing two figures stepping into the air.

One of them, a middle-aged man with half-white hair, a ruddy complexion, and a hot and cold aura, stared at Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul standing on the mountain peak from a distance and laughed loudly. “Tu Anbang from the Xuanyin Sect greets Martial Sage Kong!”

“Tu Anbang?”

Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul replied indifferently, “Is this how you bring stability to the nation¹?”

Inwardly, realization dawned on it.

It guessed right again. The mastermind was from a large overseas faction.

This Xuanyin Sect was one of the four major sects overseas. It had been established for less than 300 years, but it was comparable to the other three top factions that had been around for more than 2,000 years.

As for Tu Anbang, Yu Xiangtian, Gong Junlian, and the others had also mentioned that he was the previous Sect Master of the Xuanyin Sect.

In the Soul Fixation realm!

As for which class of Soul Fixation, they couldn’t be sure.

In any case, more than 60 years ago, when Tu Anbang abdicated the position of sect master, he was already in the third class of Soul Fixation.

Apart from himself, no one else knew what level he had reached.

Presumably, it was the fifth or sixth class.

What interested Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul was that Tu Anbang seemed to have it in his grasp.

He did not launch a sneak attack, nor did he hide his identity.

It was as if the identity of the Yu Nation’s new Martial Sage was already in his pocket.

…

“Haha, you must be joking, Martial Sage Kong. If I can stabilize the nation with my name, what’s the point of cultivating?”

Tu Anbang laughed heartily and said, “On the other hand, do you wear a mask all day long because you’re too handsome and afraid that exposing your looks will harm the tens of thousands of young women in the Yu Nation, keeping them from eating and sleeping? Hahaha…”

Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul did not respond and just looked at him indifferently.

“Looks like I was right. Martial Sage Kong is extraordinarily handsome. I’m so envious.”

Tu Anbang was still full of smiles, as if he didn’t see Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul’s indifference.

“Unlike me. I’m already so old that I’m about to be buried. I can’t attract young girls anymore.

“Martial Sage Kong is so handsome. You must be very tired, right? It must be depressing that you cannot show your face to others.

“Haha, if it were anyone else, they would also have a headache over this.

“However, there is a solution that will make this easy to resolve.

“That is getting someone to help guard the Yu Nation on your behalf.

“I happen to be free. I have nothing to do all day and I’m wandering around.

“If you don’t mind, I’m willing to help you hold the Kingdom Defending Jade Seal for a few years so that you can relax.

“What do you think, Martial Sage Kong?”

Tu Anbang looked at Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul with a smile.

Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul was indifferent.

The old thing finally got to his goal after beating around the bush for a long time.

Hold the Kingdom Defending Jade Seal on his behalf?

How thick-skinned of him to say that.

However, the Transcendent-grade martial artist had lived for more than a hundred years, nearly 200 years. He had long lost his face.

Now it was obvious that he wanted Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul to abdicate and give up its position. He was clearly very confident in himself.

Kill Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul and become the new Martial Sage of the Yu Nation!

…

Silence.

Silence.

After Tu Anbang finished speaking, Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul did not respond for a long time.

Tu Anbang was fine. He maintained a smile on his face without any impatience.

Behind him was a young man with reddish-brown pupils. His face was cold and his gaze quickly turned overcast.

“Kong Xuan, is it? Giving you face is giving you a chance. Do you think you can counter us just because you have the Kingdom Defending Jade Seal?

“Let me tell you, the Internet invasion and the barbarian invasion are just the beginning!

“We’re negotiating with you because we don’t want too many people to die. Otherwise, with Xiang Yilong’s betrayal, we would have wiped out Qingtian City long ago.

“It’s the same for you. We’ve given you a chance, so take it. Don’t be so shameless!”

The young man scanned Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul with a sinister gaze and kept spewing threats towards it.

Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul lifted its eyelids slightly and glanced at him before looking at Tu Anbang.

“Is this your dog?”

“What did you say?” Killing intent shot out from the young man’s eyes.

Tu Anbang also frowned. “Martial Sage Kong, you’re also in the Transcendent-grade. Can you watch your words?”

“He isn’t your dog?” asked Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul.

“I…”

“Shut up!”

Tu Anbang glared at the young man and said coldly, “Of course he’s not…”

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Three sword-shaped beams of light suddenly shot out from under the Thunder Dragon eye guard at lightning speed towards the young man.

Bang!

The first was intercepted by Tu Anbang and destroyed with a single palm strike.

Boom!

The seconds struck a light barrier that suddenly lit up in front of the young man and was destroyed along with it.

Chi!

The third pierced through the young man’s chest and back, carrying him away. He disappeared completely as if he had never appeared.

[Card+1]

An extraction notification flashed past.

At this moment, Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul looked at Tu Anbang and said calmly, “Since he’s not your dog, I’ll teach him a lesson for you. He’s a dog that barks non-stop without its owner saying anything, I’m sure Sect Master Tu won’t feel any heartache if I kill it, right?”
