Chapter 1852 - 1846: I Want to Kill Someone
Outside the Falling God Tower, Zhang Menglong’s final score finally showed an astonishing number.
154500!
"What on earth is this? Is this even reasonable?"
"A monster! 309 times the basic physical capacity, plus a 500-fold increase, no wonder even the direct disciples of the Divine Profound Hall are so vulnerable in his presence."
"Do you think maybe this 500 times is the maximum that the Falling God Tower can measure? Don’t you think this number is just too neat?"
"I’d rather believe this is just a coincidence..."
The disciples of the Sunset Sect who saw this score were all dumbfounded; they really couldn’t imagine what kind of monster could be so terrifying. To them, a figure like Lei Poguan was almost deified, but now someone had surpassed the gods by hundreds of times, which was really hard to accept.
At this moment, the new outer sect disciples exchanged knowing smiles, the corners of their mouths slightly upturned, as others’ praises of Zhang Menglong felt almost identical to the praise they received themselves.
Moreover, only the Funeral Love Family knew that this number was not Zhang Menglong’s limit because even though he had never shown it, these people could comprehend the second level of the Nine Nether Sunset Art under Zhang Menglong’s guidance. If Zhang Menglong hadn’t had some accomplishment in the third level, who would believe it?
As Zhang Menglong stepped out of the Falling God Tower, everyone around him was giving him a salute of respect, making him the focus of the entire Sunset Sect for a moment.
[Dean, I just got a message; it seems something happened to the Yanlan Empire!]
"What did you say?" the temperature around Zhang Menglong suddenly dropped, "What is going on?"
For the Yanlan Empire, Zhang Menglong always had quite an affection; after all, it was the first country he arrived at after coming to this world, and because of borrowing Gu Xiao’s body, even though he was already dead, his remaining will influenced Zhang Menglong to some extent.
Besides Earth, in Zhang Menglong’s heart, there was a vague sense of a second homeland, and now hearing that something had happened to the Yanlan Empire, Zhang Menglong became a little anxious, even a voice inside him was urging him to go and see his homeland.
[Just yesterday, several countries around the Yanlan Empire suddenly launched an invasion war against it! The number of troops was over fifty times that of the Yanlan Empire. After the first confrontation, the Yanlan Empire had already suffered heavy losses. Even the clan leader of a guardian family sacrificed himself, the situation is dire!]
"Is that true?" Zhang Menglong maintained his composure.
Logically speaking, after joining the superpower Sunset Sect, the Yanlan Empire and surrounding countries should all know this news. The Sunset Sect itself is a superpower, and in that region where there are only fourth and fifth grade empires, it is undoubtedly a colossal entity!
With the protection of the Sunset Sect, how could the Yanlan Empire possibly be invaded by surrounding countries?
"When did this happen? They started fighting yesterday without any warning?"
[Yes!]
"There’s a problem with this," Zhang Menglong pondered for a while but still couldn’t think of a reasonable explanation, "What about Yanlan Empire’s allies?"
Zhang Menglong remembered that Lan Xin had sent him some good news at the time. After joining the Sunset Sect, many countries around the Yanlan Empire initiated friendly treaties with them, and they even gained many more subordinate empires of the same grade!
[Some of those countries also suddenly fell into turmoil, and in the past couple of days, several key figures were assassinated, causing internal chaos.]
"This is definitely no accident!" This information nearly convinced Zhang Menglong that this was undoubtedly a conspiracy against the Yanlan Empire!
However, the Yanlan Empire was merely a fourth-grade empire, what benefits would it bring to deploy so many resources against it?
But regardless, he must first go back to see what exactly is going on. Given the current situation, the entire Yanlan Empire probably couldn’t hold on for a few days!
"Everyone, make sure to train well in the Sunset Sect during this time, I will need to leave temporarily!" Zhang Menglong said to the people of the Shamate Clan.
"Don’t worry, Clan Leader, we will."
"Clan Leader, what’s the matter? Do you need any help?"
"My hometown has encountered some issues, I’m going back to have a look, it shouldn’t be anything major, even if there is, if I can’t solve it, you probably won’t be much help either."
"That’s true, although it’s discouraging, it seems like a very realistic situation."
"In that case, we won’t interfere, just remember to bring back gifts!"
"Damn, are you stupid, daring to ask the clan leader to bring gifts from his hometown? Do you want to try that thing called Luosifen or that thing called canned herring?"
"Ugh... Stop it, I already have the mental image!"
...
Yanlan Empire.
The entire royal palace was now shrouded in a heavy atmosphere.
Just the night before, Iron Mist City on the border of the Yanlan Empire suddenly suffered an attack from a fifth-grade empire, this Fengyang Empire had actively extended an olive branch to them a few years ago, wanting to establish a long-term peace and friendship between the two countries, even sending a princess two years ago to marry a prince of the Yanlan Empire.
When Emperor Yan Tianyao of the Yanlan Empire received this news, Iron Mist City had already fallen, and he even learned of an incident that enraged the entire nation.
In ordinary warfare, when a city is captured, the invaders would ensure the safety of the invaded civilians, at most conducting some purification or other measures against the top personnel.
But this time, the long-term stationed Guardian Yun Tianye sacrificed, and the other side even conducted a brutal massacre in Iron Mist City, slaughtering virtually all the civilian population in the city, with the death toll reaching hundreds of billions!
This was extremely rare in the history of warfare in this entire region! Warfare is a constant, but the people are innocent!
And the next day, other border strongholds from different directions also came under attack, with several more cities being captured and without exception, slaughters took place in these captured cities!
In just one night, the entire Yanlan Empire was slaughtered across 14 cities, with casualties that could only be described as devastation.
"Has Gu Xiao been notified?" Yan Tianyao inquired.
"Yes, Lord King, your son has been notified." Gu Xiao’s father’s face also bore a haggard expression; deep down, he was reluctant to involve Gu Xiao, unsure why, after notifying Gu Xiao, a sense of unease settled in his heart.
But given the current situation, it seemed like only Gu Xiao could aid the country, as a subject of the nation, as the most outstanding son of this guardian, Gu Xiao’s father did not stop him.
"I don’t know if Gu Xiao can help us."
"If he is powerless, then let him escape with Lan Xin, revenge can wait for ten years. When Gu Xiao achieves success, he can avenge us then."
...
The distance from the Sunset Sect to the Yanlan Empire was too far, fortunately, Zhang Menglong leveraged his connections with the Skyless Realm to perform a spatial jump directly to the nearest seventh-grade empire to the Yanlan Empire.
However, on that day, the teleportation array of that empire happened to be under maintenance, so although Zhang Menglong was in a hurry, he had to temporarily stay for a night.
"I wonder what the situation is now." After reaching this area, Zhang Menglong could basically search for relevant information.
But when those desolate images emerged at his gaze, Zhang Menglong slowly clenched his fists.
"...I really feel like killing someone..."
