Chapter 232 The Source of Terrifying Aura
Haicheng.
east.
Along the coastline, fortresses stand like inverted mountains, covered with all sorts of powerful technological and elemental weapons, all pointed at the sea.
Ten warrior soldiers in blue uniforms patrolled back and forth in pairs.
This is the border of the Great Xia Dynasty, and also an extremely important battlefield and fortress.
There must be no room for error.
In addition to a king in charge, there are three quasi-king level commanders, and more than thirty other high-level grandmasters.
Two hundred thousand warriors and soldiers are stationed here year-round, never retreating an inch, guarding the land.
"Our 3rd Column played a major role in this historical site development, so of course we deserve the lion's share!"
"Bullshit! It was clearly our 7th Column that killed the BOSS, so naturally we should get the most."
"Our 10th column also contributed a significant amount..."
Inside the command post, a group of imposing commanders were arguing heatedly over the benefits, their faces flushed and necks red.
Ming Xiao, one of the three potential kings, sat in the highest seat, leisurely drinking tea.
His hair and beard were half-white, and he wore round-framed glasses. He looked thin and frail, like a scholar.
However, he is widely recognized as the most domineering person in the Haicheng war zone.
The King of Zhenhai and the other two prospective kings generally do not show themselves unless in a crisis. He usually supervises the army and oversees all border defense matters.
"alright."
Mingxiao spoke.
Everyone fell silent instantly, demonstrating the depth of his prestige.
Mingxiao: "All four columns contributed significantly to this discovery of the ruins. The 3rd Column performed the best, scoring 40%, while the other three columns each scored 20%. That's all for now."
"The 7th and 10th Columns will lead the next campaign to destroy the ruins. Anyone have any objections?"
The commanders looked at each other without saying anything.
Mingxiao tapped her fingers lightly on the table, creating ripples: "Now that we've finished discussing the division of the relics' spoils, let's move on to the next thing. Some things have happened in Haicheng recently that have given me an uneasy feeling."
"You mean the dozen or so recent disappearances in Haicheng?"
Mingxiao nodded.
A one-eyed commander dismissed the matter, saying, "What's the big deal? It's either a cult or some unscrupulous martial artists causing trouble. I'll send people to investigate and they'll find out."
"I already sent people to investigate, but strangely, they vanished without a trace, like a stone thrown into the sea. One of them was even an eighth-level Grandmaster under my command," Ming Xiao said slowly. "He didn't even send me a single message before disappearing. Don't you find that incredible?"
Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions turned serious.
Killing an eighth-tier grandmaster isn't that difficult, but preventing him from sending out even a single message...
"It seems things aren't as simple as we thought," said a short-haired female general named Ge Xiao, arms crossed. "Should I go investigate?"
Ming Xiao was about to say something.
Suddenly, a terrifying aura swept over.
"Swish!"
Everyone in the room stood up at the same time, their expressions solemn as they looked in one direction.
"What a terrifying aura."
"It's on the outskirts of Haicheng, very close!"
"Whose aura is this...?"
Ming Xiao looked in that direction with an extremely solemn expression, muttering, "This unfamiliar aura is far beyond the realm of a quasi-king, and it's still rising. Just who is this being?"
He looked at Ge Xiao and said, "Ge Xiao, take command of the entire army in my stead. I need to go and take a look. The rest of you, each fulfill your duties and are not to leave the battlefield!"
He finished speaking without waiting for her to reply to them.
Mingxiao used a teleportation item and instantly disappeared from the room.
…………
Song family.
"Dad, Mr. Wu left suddenly just now. Could it be that You'er encountered danger while traveling outside the city...?" A beautiful woman with a graceful figure asked the old man who was fishing by the lake with concern.
"It's alright."
The old man had a full head of silver hair, but looked like a middle-aged man. His eyes were like deep wells, and he held a white jade fishing rod in his hand. His aura was surging, and his life force was extremely vigorous.
Song Rishao, one of the four quasi-kings of Haicheng besides the military, an S-level talented martial artist, the patriarch of the Song family's resurgence, and one of the top geniuses who once competed with the Northern King.
Even in Haicheng, which is dozens of times larger than Nanjiang City, he can definitely be called a giant in the region!
No one dares to underestimate them.
"You'er went to the outskirts of Haicheng, which is not dangerous. At most, one or two sixth or seventh-level ferocious beasts might appear. Since Wu Shouchen has already gone there, there is no need to worry."
Song Zheng said calmly, "The clouds are light and the wind is gentle."
"As long as the battle in the eastern seas is not intense, this sea city is an impregnable fortress and there will be no mishaps."
"With me here, no one will dare to harm the descendants of the Song family."
Listening to his domineering words.
The woman breathed a sigh of relief: "Then I'm relieved..."
Wearing a top-brand cheongsam, she bent slightly, outlining her beautiful figure, as she was about to pour tea for the old man.
Suddenly the ground shook, and ripples spread across the lake.
The woman looked up in surprise and asked in confusion, "An earthquake?"
Swish.
The old man suddenly stood up, his body as upright as a mountain. As he stood up, the fishing rod in his hand was also lifted upward, unleashing a terrifying force that pulled out all the thousand tons of lake water from the center of the lake.
"Splash!"
A koi carp, over ten meters long, flew out of the lake in terror, skimmed across the surface, and then crashed heavily back into the water.
"Thump!!"
The woman looked over in surprise.
"dad?"
But they found the old man staring in the direction outside the city, his face more solemn than ever before.
"What a terrifying aura! What's going on?"
"Whoosh!"
A flash of light appeared in the sky, and a figure appeared above the Song family's residence as if it were invisible.
Song Zhengshao looked at him, "You felt it too?"
The man scoffed, "Nonsense! If I couldn't sense such a powerful aura, would I still be sitting in this position?"
The woman looked at the robe the man was wearing, her expression changed slightly, and she bowed respectfully, saying, "Greetings, Chairman Li."
Li Yibo, the president of the Haicheng Mage Association, a quasi-king level being of high status, nodded slightly, then said to Song Zhengshao, "Shall we take a look?"
"Of course, I want to see who dares to be so bold and impatient as to openly provoke the entire Haicheng!" Song Zhengshao sneered.
"Go activate the family's protective formation and wait for me here!"
After saying this to the woman.
The old man turned the ring on his hand, and his figure instantly transformed into a beam of yellow light, shooting into the sky.
Li Yibo then vanished into the void, leaping several times to reach the outskirts of the city.
It's not just them.
Other important figures in Haicheng also felt that lofty yet terrifying pressure, and they all stood up, their expressions either solemn or astonished.
Some people couldn't resist the urge to find out, and flocked to the outskirts of the city.
In no time at all.
Three quasi-kings and seven ninth-tier grandmasters appeared in the sky outside the city, each exuding a powerful and overwhelming aura.
Those who were at the pinnacle of Haicheng all widened their eyes slightly upon seeing the tall figure in black robes fluttering in the sky.
Such a young boy, and he's the source of that terrifying aura?!
