Despite being an enemy, an invincible man would be revered.

s.h.i.+nichi Miyamoto was of the Invincible Realm.

To everyone, Li Tianlan’s every movement was wildly arrogant.

Whether inside or outside the village, the crowd began to become restless.

They behaved like this because of Li Tianlan’s att.i.tude and what he said.

Qin Weibai disappeared.

Being different from the up-rising stars such as Li Tianlan, w.a.n.g Shengxiao, and Gu Hanshan, Qin Weibai, who knew nothing about fighting skills, was definitely a big shot in the Dark World.

She was the second-ranking person of the Samsara Palace.

If she had an accident in East Island, East Island would face an awkward situation, even if it won the battle.

The Master of Samsara Palace could break murderous weapons with a single stroke.

If she held the murderous weapon Blue Sky Underworld to conquer East Island for Qin Weibai, it would put a severe strain on East Island.

Everyone subconsciously looked at s.h.i.+nichi Miyamoto’s expression.

s.h.i.+nichi Miyamoto was expressionless.

Only he could be sure that Qin Weibai’s disappearance had nothing to do with East Island.

Except for East Island, there were only the five dark forces.

Which one?

The first goal that the five superpowers entered Changdao must be to plot against East Island. However, this goal became unfeasible after a riot in Huating. In desperation, they had to change the plan. Now, each of the five superpowers made a request for joining hands with East Island.

The Fantasy World and the Heroes’ Club wanted s.h.i.+nichi Miyamoto’s Liuhuo Palace.

The Jiang family of South America wanted Li Tianlan.

The Polar Ground Alliance did not make explicit requirements but actually plotted the most.

The Knights Templars wanted to establish the real East Asian parish.

Each one of them seemed innocent, but they were all suspected. Perhaps the five superpowers collaborated to create a scam for Qin Weibai’s disappearance.

If things went well, it would be very likely to become a lethal foreshadowing after the general trend.

The more s.h.i.+nichi Miyamoto thought about it, the more likely it was.

Naturally, the five superpowers desired the Special Warfare System of East Island the most. They jointly planned the border war outside Zhongzhou State, aiming at preventing Zhongzhou State from supporting Changdao after suffering a ma.s.sive setback. In other words, they hoped that Zhongzhou State failed in East Island.

The Blood Battalion was the top priority in the Border Control Corps, so Zhongzhou State would not remain indifferent. They invited Aresis, who ranked second on the Divine List in the headquarters of the Vatican. Moreover, they asked him to hold the murderous weapon Chant of Death to take a sea-voyage eastward. Thus, Zhongzhou State would inevitably make a response. The fact w.a.n.g Tianzong went to the border ill.u.s.trated this point.

After w.a.n.g Tianzong’s departure, Huating was relatively weaker, so Zhongzhou State had to appoint the third batch of manpower that was supposed to support Changdao to garrison Huating.

Zhongzhou State’s elites were significantly weakened in Changdao after losing the third support force.

Everything met with their plans.

The only thing that was not in line with their schedule was Huating’s turbulent situation.

To bail out the five experts of the Invincible Realm was unexpected.

Even though w.a.n.g Tianzong left Huating, Huating still had Gu Xingyun and the Master of Samsara Palace, as well as the third batch of elites who were supposed to get into Changdao.

They could completely suppress the five experts of the Invincible Realm.

However, the five superpowers never predicted that the Master of Samsara Palace had not launched an attack.

Their planned border war did not weaken Zhongzhou State’s power but made many elites trapped in Huating see the opportunity.

And then, the turbulent situation became more complicated, which was entirely out of their control. So, Tianhai Wuji and Liusheng Cangquan, the two grandmasters of the Invincible Realm, returned in advance. In desperation, the five superpowers had to choose to cooperate with East Island. They intended to hit Zhongzhou State together before the two experts of the Invincible Realm came back and get a little reward…

They must be unwilling to accept such a situation.

Qin Weibai’s disappearance might have something to do with their reluctance. If this were their groundwork, they would s.h.i.+ft the blame to East Island. When the Master of Samsara Palace would dispatch troops to East Island in a fury, the five superpowers would make a comeback again. By then, Zhongzhou State, who had failed, would be unqualified to compete with them…

Could this be the truth of the matter?

s.h.i.+nichi Miyamoto thought quietly, but the result was not optimistic. Anyway, the mysterious force controlling Qin Weibai would realize that sooner or later after Zhongzhou State’s defeat became inevitable.

Even if they did not expect this, his speculation would become a reality at any time, as long as they had Qin Weibai.

East Island seemed destined to be turbulent this year.

s.h.i.+nichi Miyamoto raised his head and suddenly felicitated for what the Heroes’ Club and Fantasy World wanted.

They wanted Liuhuo Palace.

Fortunately, they wanted Liuhuo Palace.

As all his thoughts ran wild, s.h.i.+nichi Miyamoto saw the young man standing above him take a step forward again.

His voice remained so calm that people felt scary.

“Who took my woman?”

s.h.i.+nichi Miyamoto finally spoke out. His voice was calm and solemn, resounding between heaven and earth.

“So rude.”

Despite being an enemy, an invincible man would be revered.

Li Tianlan still moved forward. His eyes became bright as his pupils contracted.

He stared at s.h.i.+nichi Miyamoto’s eyes.

They looked at each other.

It was raining heavily. A fierce wind was stirring the white coat.

He stood in the highest place, being so lonely and brilliant, which was quite magnificent.

He stood there, which was eyecatching.

“It’s not a battle.”

Looking at s.h.i.+nichi Miyamoto, Li Tianlan said softly.

Only a few people understood what he meant.

There was no right or wrong in war, and people just took different stands. The relations.h.i.+p between enemies and allies was delicate and ever-changing.

If it was not a war, it must be hatred.

One could abandon all respect and awe because of hatred.

Qin Weibai disappeared in East Island, so East Island was the most probable suspect. Meanwhile, it was most likely to find Qin Weibai.

Although Li Tianlan did not know who took Qin Weibai, the first person he asked was s.h.i.+nichi Miyamoto, who was the highest-ranking man in the Special Warfare System of East Island now.

If East Island could not give him an answer, Li Tianlan dared to take revenge on East Island by any kinds of means now, no matter what actions the Master of Samsara Palace would take.

It was not a war.

s.h.i.+nichi Miyamoto twitched the corners of his mouth. He was a little alarmed, but he was mostly contemptuous.

“Is this a threat?” he asked slowly.

His soft voice resounded between heaven and earth, revealing that he was of the Invincible Realm.

“You can think so.”

Li Tianlan’s tone was calm, but the discourse did not tell the truth.

s.h.i.+nichi Miyamoto nodded and continued, “In my opinion, it’s a war. You can hold a different idea, but it doesn’t matter. Today, you and all the people of Zhongzhou State will die without a doubt.”

He looked away from Li Tianlan to the village in the morning.

In the village, all elites of Zhongzhou State gathered together in the shortest time, as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

s.h.i.+nichi Miyamoto twitched the corners of his mouth, and his eyes were cruel and cold.

Li Tianlan also looked away and set his eyes on all the enemies.

“Where’s she?”

He asked in a soft voice.

The silence kept on.

Li Tianlan started to move on.

For him, he had been losing all the time and never had anything.

He had the Li family.

But, what was the Li family?

It was glorious but illusory.

He had it, but he never got it.

However, Qin Weibai was different.

She was his woman, who was the most real, the warmest, the most beautiful in his life.

The most real thing was everything one had.

The trend was irresistible, so he never minded Zhongzhou State’s retreat. However, since he received Military Counselor’s call, he had no leeway.

At least, he saw no retreat.

He could not see it, so he chose not to see it.

He slowly clenched the Sky Halberd and gradually lifted it up.

The heavy rain poured down in torrents.

The enemies were like a tidal wave.

…

The darkness on the horizon faded away.

Dijiang appeared in Shangguan.

In the foggy morning, it was also raining in the southeast of Shangguan.

The heavy rain fell on the mountain area in the southeast of Shangguan. He stood on the top and looked over. He saw nothing but misty fog, without the smoke of gunpowder.

Standing on a low mountain, Dijiang shook his head and mumbled to himself, “It’s a good place. I’ll visit it next time as time permits.”

With a chuckle, he turned back and walked down the hill.

Dijiang saw a cave in the distance after walking about four or five kilometers in the undulating mountain.

It was thoroughly light.

Dijiang looked at his watch and put his hand in his mouth. Suddenly, a sharp whistle sounded.

The harsh whistle suddenly broke through the clouds and echoed in the mountain area.

The echoes were like answering the whistle.

The first figure appeared in the cave.

Then, the second showed up.

There were more and more figures.

A squad, a squadron, a battalion.

100 men, 200 men, 300 men…

Three hundred figures came out of the cave at a steady pace and showed no emotion.

They went out of the cave, walked up to the hill, and stepped over the gra.s.s.

Three hundred men pa.s.sed by.

There was no rain between heaven and earth!

All the rain had completely disappeared in their path. The 300 people padded as if they had conquered heaven and earth.

Dijiang raised his eyebrows with a smile and inadvertently looked to the southeast.

Shangguan was adjacent to Changdao.

The southeast of Shangguan was the southwest of Changdao.

The southwest of Changdao was the battlefield.

“Be ready to go!”

Dijiang stated flatly.

“Yes!”

At the front of the queue, a middle-aged man answered in a deep voice. As he subconsciously clenched his fists, a blinding blue light flashed by.

A great breath of fire filled the top of the hill in the storm.

The heavy rain faded.

Dijiang laughed and looked up at the sky with cold eyes.

“Heaven and earth?”

“Heaven and earth are bulls.h.i.+t!”

Now, he led the only super force in the w.a.n.g family of Beihai.

Its code name was Heaven Punishment!

…

“It’s not a battle.”

When the mild voice rang out in the living room through the screen, Qin Weibai was having breakfast.

She was under the house arrest in a shabby place, but she had a substantial breakfast. As a captive with great value, even one of the future hostesses in the Jiang family of South America, Qin Weibai got enough preferential treatment. Wasn’t it a kind of politeness that Evil jokingly called her Second Sister-in-law?

Even if Moonlight, an expert of the Half-step Invincible Realm in the Jiang family of South America, had hostility in her eyes, she did not dare to slight Qin Weibai in action.

Qin Weibai was watching TV.

The picture on the TV was the station under siege in Zhongzhou State. Most of the time, the TV pictures showed Li Tianlan, who Qin Weibai cared most.

Li Tianlan ended the brief conversation with s.h.i.+nichi Miyamoto and looked at the crowd.

“Where’s she?”

Li Tianlan asked slowly on TV.

Qin Weibai sat quietly on an old couch. Her facial expression seemed to become gentle at this moment.

“I’m here.”

Qin Weibai whispered while watching TV.

“He can’t hear you.”

Evil sat on the other side of the sofa and squinted at the TV, “Second Sister-in-law, are you worried?”

Qin Weibai glanced at Evil haughtily and coldly.

“Since your little lover worried about you so much, I don’t mind helping him.”

Evil looked at Qin Weibai with a smile. “I just spoke to my second elder brother on the phone. He was surprised when he knew that you were here on a visit. He asked me to finish things here at once and then take you and Li Tianlan back to East Island. So… if there will be no accident, you’ll see him soon.”

“You don’t have to do that.”

Evil chuckled. “If you haven’t transferred the Jiang family’s fate in Zhongzhou State to Li Tianlan in a certain way, we won’t care if he lives or dies. You brought this upon yourself.”

“You sound confident. Why don’t you go and get him?”

Qin Weibai asked flatly.

Evil seemed to be stuck by this question. After carefully thinking for a while, he shook his head and said, “I don’t know why. He’s just a nonent.i.ty, but I think he’s very dangerous. Although I’m a killer, I’m not willing to take risks. It’s the same now… but now it turns right. I have you, such a wonderful bargaining chip, so everything will be all right… Second Sister-in-law, you’d better take your time eating. And then, I’ll take you to the battlefield. If you’re there, what else can Li Tianlan do?”

“We can leave now.”

Qin Weibai said tenderly after wiping the corners of her mouth with a paper napkin.

Evil looked at Qin Weibai blankly. He said earnestly, “You don’t sound worried about him. He will die. Even if he survives, he will feel worse than death in our hands…”

“In your hands?”

Qin Weibai laughed grimly, “Can you?”

She turned back and watched TV.

On TV, a man in white was moving in the sky.

The coat was white, like the snow without any impurities.

Qin Weibai watched quietly.

She felt the madness through the TV.

That kind of madness at all costs!

With a faraway look in her eyes, she felt like to be back to the dreamlike Mount Kunlun on that snowy night.

He was also in white.

The heavy rain poured down in torrents.

The enemies were also like a tidal wave.

In the dream, the pictures flashed quickly and clearly.

The white coat, the sword stroke, the laugh, the face of helplessness and self-mockery, the arrogance, and the eternal desolation leaped to the eyes.

There were blood and snow in the dream.

It was red and white.

There was no sadness but desperation after the ultimate glory turned to desolation at the end of fate.

It was the most painful and pure despair.

Qin Weibai looked pale, but her eyes quickly became bright and cold.

“Let’s go.”

She stood up and walked toward the door.

Evil narrowed his eyes behind her and suddenly chuckled. “The Zhongzhou State’s first beauty can’t wait to get married into our Jiang family of South America? I’m so flattered.”

“The Zhongzhou State’s first beauty?”

Qin Weibai suddenly turned around and looked at Evil. “Is that me?”

“Otherwise?”

Evil shrugged.

“I don’t like this term.”

Qin Weibai shook her head slowly and firmly. “Moreover, I’m not the Zhongzhou State’s first beauty.”

“Who but you can be called the first beauty?”

The look in Evil’s eyes was worth pondering. “If there’s really a woman prettier than you, I really want to see her. Is there such a woman? Who’s she?”

“Yes.”

Qin Weibai calmly nodded.

She turned and walked out of the door, saying with a calm tone, “Phoenix Pavilion’s Gu Xianyan, code-named Red Dress.”
