Chapter 585 - 346: Sixth Evolution (Part 2)

Su Ze’s heart sank. His worst fears had been realized. Snowfield Continent and Flame Emperor Continent had sent two Legendary Powerhouses as reinforcements, and he suspected they had both brought divine artifacts with them.

Su Ze immediately relayed this news to the Blue Star Party.

That night, he remained inside the Magic Cube, monitoring the activity below. He also confirmed the location of Lin Hua Country’s national treasury and ascertained the strength of its guards.

That night, Su Ze absorbed a large amount of the Sands of Time, completely digesting the Golden Falcon extract within his body.

This would save him time for his operation the next day.

If he found suitable upgrade materials the next day, he could upgrade his skill and then immediately undergo his sixth evolution.

Around dawn the next day, the Alien Party powerhouses below finally made a move.

Deng Sui and Zhan Meisen, along with several Venerable Powerhouses, left Baihua City and flew south.

Meanwhile, Jiang Pingle and Marina remained behind in Baihua City.

Su Ze immediately reported this news to Chen Suifeng.

"Looks like they’re planning to split their forces."

’Jiang Pingle and Marina are still in Baihua City. They must have other plans.’

’Even for defensive purposes, they wouldn’t assign two Legendary Powerhouses. That would be too much of a waste.’ Su Ze continued to observe the movements of Jiang Pringle and Marina.

’As long as those two are still here, I can’t make a move on the treasury.’

Chen Suifeng analyzed, "If I’m not mistaken, Deng Sui and Zhan Meisen are likely headed for Ancient An Country. They must have at least one divine artifact with them. Remember to warn Pulamon to be careful."

With Miracle Oasis’s sudden disappearance, the Alien Party must have gotten the news. For them to send people south at this time, the most likely reason was to deal with the Filth Earth Organization.

"I’ve already warned him," Su Ze said. "The leader of the Filth Earth Organization arrived in Ancient An Country today. That leader is incredibly powerful. With him and Pulamon joining forces, they should be able to hold their own against those two."

Chen Suifeng was tempted. If they followed now and coordinated a pincer attack with the Filth Earth Organization, they might be able to eliminate Deng Sui and Zhan Meisen.

However, the Blue Star Party was short on high-end combat power and had no spare Legendary Combat Power for such a task. Moreover, Jiang Pingle’s group clearly had other plans, so Mr. Ke had to prioritize defense.

About an hour later, all of Lin Hua Country’s major television stations suddenly began to simultaneously broadcast an emergency news report.

The gist of the news was that a political faction led by Chen Suifeng, Lin Tiannan, Su Ze, and others was attempting to stage a coup to undermine the unity and stability of the Lin Hua Continent...

The ruler of Lin Hua Country, Jiang Pingle, stated that he would staunchly defend the nation’s interests, safeguard the territorial integrity of the Lin Hua Continent, and oppose all secessionist activities...

The news report listed the names of high-level members of the Blue Star Party, like Chen Suifeng, and even included Su Ze. The only name missing was Mr. Ke’s.

This was because Mr. Ke’s prestige was too high. In his youth, he had followed Lin Hua’s Legend to found Lin Hua Country, and had later taken on the responsibility of protecting the Lin Hua Continent from Lin Hua’s Legend himself.

He had dedicated his entire life to the Lin Hua Continent, never marrying or having children. His name and his deeds were known throughout the nation.

The Alien Party could not possibly slander such a venerable and highly respected senior.

Not long after the news broadcast, Jiang Pingle finally made his move. He and Marina mustered their forces, assembling a hundred-person team composed entirely of Saint-level powerhouses, and advanced toward Xinghuo City!

It turned out their target was neither the Great Desert Kingdom nor Dongli, but the eastern part of Lin Hua Country controlled by the Blue Star Party.

The Blue Star Party was quick to respond!

Not only did they use various channels like television and the internet to refute the Alien Party’s slander, but they also directly exposed the true identities of Jiang Pingle and his faction!

At this point, the gloves were off. Nothing was off the table!

But the idea of aliens seemed too far-fetched and unrealistic, lacking credibility to the average person.

An alien invasion?

It sounded like the plot of a science fiction movie. It was just too absurd!

In contrast, the idea of Chen Suifeng and his followers staging a coup sounded far more believable.

Furthermore, Chen Suifeng and his allies couldn’t produce any concrete evidence. It was an impossible claim to prove, as Jiang Pingle’s faction looked identical to humans, aside from their invisible, intangible Nian Race souls.

But the Blue Star Party had a trump card: Mr. Ke!

Appearing before the cameras, the aged Mr. Ke gave a speech, exposing the Nian Race identities of Jiang Pingle, Deng Sui, and the others.

Mr. Ke’s words needed no evidence to convince countless people!

Meanwhile, in Dongli, Gu Chengguang and others also gave an emergency address, corroborating Mr. Ke’s statement.

The people of Dongli utterly disbelieved Jiang Pingle, because Su Ze’s name was on the list of the accused.

In Dongli, Su Ze’s prestige was unrivaled. He was a god to the people of Dongli, and they would not allow anyone to slander him.

Therefore, the people of Dongli would rather believe in an alien invasion than believe that Su Ze would do anything to harm the interests of the Lin Hua Continent.

For a time, online opinion was sharply divided. The people of Dongli and the Great Desert Kingdom mostly supported Mr. Ke and Su Ze, while in Luofan Country and Mu Country, guided by their local governments, more people chose to believe Jiang Pingle.

As for Lin Hua Country proper, a majority of the people actually believed Mr. Ke, for his prestige in this land was unrivaled. Over the centuries, perhaps only Lin Hua’s Legend could compare.

The Blue Star Party didn’t just counterattack in the court of public opinion. Chen Suifeng had already taken a starship, bringing a large number of the Blue Star Party’s senior members to the east-west border of Lin Hua Country to intercept Jiang Pingle and his forces.
