Chapter 542 Black Pot

Li Tianlan received two messages in succession on the way back.

When the phone rang, Li Tianlan was sitting in the car and looking at the scenery outside the window with Dongcheng Rus.h.i.+ in his arms.

It was a windy and stormy night in Recchi City and the scenery appeared gloomy and depressing.

But perhaps it was because he was about to leave, so the wind and rain in the empty city made Li Tianlan feel that it looked exquisite and good.

After that, two messages came in, one after another.

The Purgatory of Heaven Capital and the Vatican had officially withdrawn from Recchi City.

Before he had time to feel surprised, the news that Jiang Shangyu had been attacked and subsequently disappeared in Eyme, reached his ears.

The two messages arrived almost at the same time. It was not a sign of sorrow or joy, but the difference in his mood was still very obvious. Even Li Tianlan was stunned for a while, as he sat with his mobile phone in his hand.

“What is wrong?”

Dongcheng Rus.h.i.+’s voice was lazy and soft. After the most intimate body contact, she became less reserved and leaned back into Li Tianlan’s arms. She moved her little head and looked extremely happy.

“The Purgatory of Heaven Capital and the Vatican have retreated,” Li Tianlan said.

After a pause, he continued, “They left Recchi City.”

The intelligence indicated that the two forces had indeed left Recchi City, but they did not show any intention of leaving Eastern Europe for the time being. Obviously, even if the two forces gave up Wulan State, they still did not want to give up the fat pickings of Eastern Europe. In theory, Eastern Europe was too big to be occupied by any force. Now there were only a few forces who were qualified to have a share in Eastern Europe.

The Snowdance Corps.

The w.a.n.g family of Beihai.

The Vatican.

The Purgatory of Heaven Capital.

The other forces had already been eliminated, leaving only these four families to devour Eastern Europe. As long as they were patient enough, they would definitely gain something.

At this time, they had suddenly given up on Wulan State, which was already under control. There was no doubt that they wanted to find a new breakthrough point.

It could be said that the five countries with Wulan State as the center represented one-third of the interests of Eastern Europe.

It was very unlikely that w.a.n.g Tianzong would take all of Eastern Europe. But if he made a breakthrough, it would not be a big problem for him to take Snow Country, which represented a third of the interest.

For the remaining one-third, the Purgatory of Heaven Capital or the Vatican, were they going to fight or make peace?

Or did they still want to make a bet on Zhongzhou State before they fought for one third of it?

Li Tianlan rubbed his forehead. Suddenly, he felt that the whole matter had become complicated again.

“This is a good thing,”

Dongcheng Rus.h.i.+ thought about it and said seriously.

“At present, it really does not seem to be a bad thing.”

Li Tianlan shook his head. “But when the Purgatory of Heaven Capital and the Vatican withdrew from Eastern Europe, Jiang Shangyu, who had just arrived at Eyme, went missing.”

This news came as a shock to everyone.

Dongcheng Rus.h.i.+ was also stunned.

In all of the Dark World, Jiang Shangyu could be said to be a young expert, second only to Li Tianlan, and he had the combat capability of the Invincible Realm.

He was the new vice marshal of the Snowdance Corps.

He had just arrived in Eastern Europe, but he suddenly disappeared.

He went missing after the surprise attack.

Had he been caught? Or had he escaped?

Dongcheng Rus.h.i.+ frowned and hesitantly asked, “Was it done by the Purgatory of Heaven Capital or the Vatican?”

“No, they did not.”

Li Tianlan shook his head with certainty. “They don’t need to do that. Jiang Shangyu does not affect the overall situation at the moment. It is a brainless provocation for Zhongzhou State. If they do not accept what Eastern Europe has done in this mess, they should be targeting me, not Jiang Shangyu, who has not been involved in the specific affairs of the Snowdance Corps.”

“But if it is not them, who else would do this?”

Dongcheng Rus.h.i.+ muttered to herself in confusion.

“No, it should be said that if it was not them, who else could do it?”

Li Tianlan said calmly.

Dongcheng Rus.h.i.+ froze for a moment.

The situation in all of Eastern Europe was extremely clear, but it was as if it was covered with a thin layer of gauze. At this moment, it suddenly became clear after she heard what Li Tianlan said.

The Eastern Europe chaos could be said to be a mess that had never happened in the Dark World in the past hundred years.

After the Date of Death and the Trial Day, the Divine and Holy Lists had been fragmented.

Li Tianlan and Jiang Shangyu had not entered the Invincible Realm yet.

But the problem was that there were only a few Invincible Realm experts left in the Dark World right now.

For the current Dark World, Li Tianlan and Jiang Shangyu were the top combat forces.

The sudden attack on Jiang Shangyu had made him disappear.

Only the Vatican and the Purgatory of Heaven Capital had this kind of strength.

If it was not them, who else could have done it?

The corners of Li Tianlan’s mouth twitched.

His face suddenly became a little ugly.

“For the time being.”

Dongcheng Rus.h.i.+’s voice was clear and calm. “You are the prime suspect.”

Li Tianlan obviously thought of this too, so he gave a wry smile and did not say anything.

Jiang Shangyu was related to the general trend, but it was not important, at least for now.

That was why both the Vatican and the Purgatory of Heaven Capital would not waste their energy on him.

w.a.n.g Tianzong was now imprisoned in the left building of the Office of the President, so it was impossible for him to take action.

At present, in Eastern Europe, only Li Tianlan was the most likely suspect to have launched an attack on Jiang Shangyu.

Jiang Shangyu was not very important to the general trend of the Dark World. But for Zhongzhou State, it was of great importance to the general trend of the Snowdance Corps.

Li Tianlan had always been tough. He dared to kill Chen Qingluan in front of w.a.n.g Tianzong, so he naturally would have dared to attack Jiang Shangyu as soon as Jiang Shangyu arrived in Eastern Europe.

This was the most possible speculation.

As for whether there were any masters around Li Tianlan who could capture or kill Jiang Shangyu in an instant…

Li Tianlan’s heart gradually sank.

He knew that there were still some experts like him, and they would also stand on his side.

The point was that he did not know how many people in the outside world knew about this matter.

The Master of Samsara Palace was still alive.

This was not just a rumor.

If the high-level officials of Zhongzhou State heard this news, together with Jiang Shangyu’s disappearance, it was enough to make them start making too many a.s.sociations.

Even if he was not talking about the Master of Samsara Palace.

Lin Fengting, the patriarch of the Lin Clan, was still free and easy.

Li Tianlan did not care what the outside world thought, but he cared about the att.i.tude of the core members of Zhongzhou State very much.

Once they thought that he was the one who attacked Jiang Shangyu, it was tantamount to his breaking the rules.

To be honest, he was walking on the bottom line.

At such a sensitive moment, one had to pay the price to step on the line.

It was a huge price to pay.

Li Tianlan silently took out his phone and dialed a number.

“Your Highness, I am Reeker.”

The call was quickly connected. It was prime minister Reeker of Wulan State.

“Have you heard about vice marshal Jiang Shangyu?”

Li Tianlan asked directly.

“I have the news.”

The voice of Reeker was a little weird, as if he wanted to say something, but stopped on second thought.

Li Tianlan took a deep breath. There was even a change in his tone of voice. He could only imagine how strong the outside world’s doubts about him would be.

“In the name of Wulan State, you have to contact Eyme. In addition, the Arctic Ocean Command will cooperate with you to find him. In any case, you must find vice marshal Jiang in the shortest time.”

Li Tianlan’s tone was calm.

“Okay, I will arrange it now,” Reeker said.

When he saw that Li Tianlan did not have any other instructions, he hung up.

Li Tianlan put down his phone, and his face had completely regained its calmness.

The Snowdance Corps was the biggest winner in the Eastern Europe chaos so far. But the new vice marshal went missing when he first arrived in Eastern Europe. This was simply a joke, and it would make many people in Zhongzhou State question his ability to control Eastern Europe.

Li Tianlan did not care about these.

But the most important thing was that this was a black pot prepared for him and detained him in Eastern Europe.

If Jiang Shangyu did not show
