Chapter 329 I'm Back
Lu Fei quickly explained the situation.
"After the Shiva region fell completely, Brooke led a group of remaining forces on the run for a long time, and recently finally joined the Eagle Alliance."
As you should know, after the Eagle Alliance was forced to close the dimensional gate and its connection with the main world became intermittent, it split internally, forming several factions.
Xu Feng nodded.
The Eagle Alliance was already divided into numerous factions, and after losing absolute control of the main world, a split was inevitable.
Earlier intelligence indicated that they had split into four major factions, each occupying a region.
"The strongest force right now is the four-nation alliance led by Senator Terefis, with three other senators assisting them."
Brook, through some unknown means, somehow gained Treffi's favor and became one of his most capable subordinates.
Lu Fei continued.
"This guy probably feels like he has a new backer and is starting to act tough again."
Not long ago, he accompanied a team from the Telefis Alliance to visit "our Great Xia's C12 base in the south".
They came from the southern sea, ostensibly for exchanges, but in reality, they were arrogant and showing off their military might.
"The same as last time?" Xu Feng's voice lowered.
"right."
Anger flashed across Lu Fei's face.
"That bastard Brooke deliberately talked loudly about the 'old stories' of the Shiva district in the base square, in front of quite a few people."
Their words were quite disrespectful to our Great Xia, and then somehow the conversation turned to you—”
She paused, looking at Xu Feng's increasingly cold face: "He said—that you got lucky, that you only got to where you are today by relying on some talent and luck."
In short, it was all vile and offensive denigration and insults.
"Brother Li happened to be there at the time. He is now one of the deputy commanders of C12 base and a good friend of yours. How could he stand it? He couldn't help but refute it immediately."
Xu Feng could imagine that scene.
Li Tianlang is straightforward and values loyalty above all else.
Hearing someone insult his brother like that, he was bound to lose his temper.
"And then?" Xu Feng asked, frowning.
"Brook's been waiting for him to speak!"
Lu Fei clenched her fists.
"He completely disregarded diplomatic etiquette and the occasion, and just took action!"
He claimed to be giving pointers, but his actions were incredibly ruthless!
Although Brother Li was also a high-level war god, he was seriously injured after only a dozen or so moves. Three of his sternums were broken, and his internal organs were also shaken.
After knocking him down, Brooke mocked him in public, saying he was just like him, a piece of trash who could be easily defeated, before walking away triumphantly!
"There were also councilors from the Snowfield District present at the C12 base at the time, but... the other party was using the guise of 'exchange and sparring' and had the background of Terefis."
Moreover, things happened so fast that we ultimately had no choice but to swallow this bitter pill.
Brother Li was rushed back to the military hospital at Base Nine and is currently under observation in the intensive care unit.
Xu Feng listened quietly, his face expressionless.
He gently patted Lu Fei's hand: "I understand. I'll go check on Tianlang."
"I'll go with you," Lu Fei said immediately.
Xu Feng shook his head: "I'll be back soon."
Lu Fei understood him and knew that he must be furious at the moment and needed to deal with his emotions alone, so she stopped insisting.
He simply cautioned, "You—don't be too impulsive. Brooke is a senator, and now he's backed by the Treffis Alliance."
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
After Xu Feng finished speaking, he turned around and strode away from the courtyard, his figure quickly disappearing into the deepening night.
Base Nine, Military Hospital, Intensive Care Unit.
The strong smell of disinfectant filled the air, and although the corridor was brightly lit, it felt deserted.
This area is specifically for treating severely injured martial artists and is heavily guarded.
After Xu Feng revealed his identity, he was quickly allowed to enter.
Guided by the nurse, he arrived outside Li Tianlang's ward.
The strong smell of disinfectant was mixed with a faint scent of blood and herbs.
Li Tianlang lay on the hospital bed, his face as pale as paper, his chest wrapped in thick bandages, and his breath weak.
A highly skilled physician had just finished an examination, his brow furrowed.
"General Li suffered serious internal injuries and his blood and qi were stagnant. That palm strike seemed to carry a cold, corrosive force, hindering his recovery."
He needs to rest for at least three months, and whether he can fully recover without any lasting problems depends on his subsequent care.
The doctor whispered to Zhang Huan, who was standing beside him.
Zhang Huan's face was full of anger, yet he was helpless.
The other party was a close confidant of the Eagle Alliance councilor, possessed considerable power, and was using the pretext of a "personal conflict."
The Great Xia Dynasty currently only has one councilor, Li Yuanying, who is currently in a standoff with the high-ranking members of the alien race in the sky.
Therefore, the top leadership of Daxia seems unwilling to completely break ties with the Eagle Alliance over this matter and can only exert pressure and negotiate.
Just then, the ward door was gently pushed open.
A man with an ordinary face and a reserved demeanor walked in.
Zhang Huan and the doctor turned their heads at the same time, about to ask a question, when they saw the man look up at them.
With just one glance, the two felt a chill run down their spines, as if they were being stared at by some primordial beast, and the words that were about to come out caught in their throats.
"Xu, Xu Feng?" Zhang Huan was startled and came back to his senses. He then looked at Xu Feng in shock as he walked to the bedside.
Zhang Huan instinctively moved aside.
Xu Feng looked at Li Tianlang, who was unconscious and weak on the hospital bed, and gently placed his finger on Li's wrist pulse.
A pure, gentle, yet incredibly powerful force of blood and qi, carrying the unique vitality of the divine tree, quietly entered Li Tianlang's body.
Li Tianlang, who was unconscious, twitched his eyebrows slightly, and a faint trace of color appeared on his pale face.
He withdrew his hand and then looked at Zhang Huan: "General Zhang, I'm back."
Zhang Huan patted his shoulder, not asking about the mission, but said, "It's good that you're back. The doctor said... Xiao Li's sternum was fractured and his lungs were injured. Although the internal bleeding has stopped, his organ functions are severely damaged."
We used top-tier healing potions and have already treated his internal injuries, but the problem is...
His mental strength was being eroded by some kind of cold, sinister force, causing it to fluctuate and become unstable, thus affecting his body's self-repair process.
Xu Feng's gaze grew increasingly icy.
Mental erosion? This is no ordinary "sparring" tactic; it's clearly an attempt to destroy Li Tianlang's foundation!
"What did the doctor say? What can be done?"
"Several treatment experts from the base have come to see me and used the best medicines and nourishing items to stabilize my condition for the time being."
But to truly cure it... might require a more refined, life-giving treasure, or a method specifically targeting that kind of cold, yin-like spiritual energy...
""
Zhang Huan shook his head, his expression somewhat grim.
Treasures of that caliber are extremely rare and hard to come by.
Xu Feng listened silently, already having made up his mind.
A treasure imbued with spiritual power?
The power of the divine tree within him might be worth a try.
As for the chilling spiritual power—he wanted to see what kind of demonic and malevolent methods it was.
"Don't worry, I'll remove the mental energy."
He reached out and gently placed his hand on Li Tianlang's wrist.
A wisp of extremely subtle, gentle, and vibrant divine tree energy, mixed with his immense blood and qi, carefully probed into his body.
At the same time, his "sea-like" level of mental power transformed into the gentlest tendrils, avoiding the core of his consciousness and slowly sensing from the outside.
really!
Deep within Li Tianlang's meridians and internal organs, there remained a trace of a cold, viscous spiritual force, imbued with intense resentment and destructive desire.
This force is slowly eroding his vitality, hindering the flow of qi and blood and the healing of his wounds.
The spiritual power of a Star God-level expert?
Xu Feng sneered inwardly.
Brooke's defection to the Hawk Alliance shows he's really learned a lot of "good stuff".
He did not forcibly dispel this power, lest it cause a backlash.
They simply used the life energy of the divine tree to slowly nourish Li Tianlang's soul.
At the same time, Xu Feng also found a way to remove the evil magic from his body.
All that is needed is to build a layer of mental protection in Li Tianlang's sea of consciousness, and then use the Seven Tribulations of Shattered Soul to disintegrate that corrosive mental power.
Therefore, if Li Tianlang then takes spiritual plants that nourish his soul, the injury can be healed.
"Alright, I'll take care of Old Li's injury. General Zhang, you should go back now."
"I should be able to heal this injury in two days at most."
Zhang Huan was overjoyed upon hearing this and breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you very much."
As Li Tianlang's half-master, he had been worried about Li Tianlang's injury ever since.
Now that a solution has finally been found, he is naturally very grateful to Xu Feng.
The next morning.
When Zhang Huan returned, Xu Feng had already resolved Li Tianlang's problem and left earlier.
Stepping out of the hospital, the cold night wind brushed against my face.
Xu Feng's eyes no longer held simple anger, but rather an extreme, icy calm.
"Brook Dalit — Treffis Alliance —"
He muttered to himself.
"Alright."
With a swift movement, he transformed into a blurry golden streak and silently sped towards the military command post of Base Nine.
Some accounts must be settled clearly.
Some people have to pay the price.
Base Nine, the military's general command headquarters.
The alloy wall projects real-time situation maps of various areas of the 13th dimensional realm, with densely packed light spots, lines, and color blocks intersecting.
The blood-red color, representing the area of activity of the alien races, and the dark blue color, representing the territory of the Eagle Alliance, are exerting pressure on the Great Xia-controlled area from different directions.
Xu Feng revealed his identity and, after passing three gene locks and one mental power verification, was led by a stern-faced major into a strategic conference room at the very back.
The conference room was spacious and simple, with a holographic sand table in the center and the surrounding walls constantly updating with data streams transmitted from the front lines.
Commander-in-Chief Di Huaiying had his back to the door, intently watching a blinding red area on the sand table that represented the "Qinling A1 Base" area.
"Commander-in-Chief, Lieutenant General Xu Feng has arrived," the major reported, saluting.
Di Huaiying turned around, her face full of surprise.
The old man, who was in charge of the overall defense of the Great Xia in the 13th Dimension, had an undisguised look of exhaustion on his face.
But those eyes remained as sharp as an eagle's.
When he saw Xu Feng, a fleeting hint of relief crossed his eyes, which was quickly replaced by deeper worry.
"You're back? Did the mission go smoothly?" Di Huaiying gestured for Xu Feng to sit down, and then walked to the head seat of the conference table.
"Reporting to the Commander-in-Chief, the infiltration plan has been initially successful. We have established a foothold in Xiaoqingqiong Mountain and gained a certain level of trust and authority."
""
Hsu Feng's words were concise and to the point.
Di Huaiying looked Xu Feng up and down, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes: "Your aura—has changed again. It seems this infiltration has yielded far more results than expected."
He could sense that Xu Feng was standing there.
Although the Qi and blood are contained within, they are like a deep abyss beneath a calm sea, vast and profound.
It's completely different from when I left.
"I've managed to make a breakthrough by sheer luck," Xu Feng said frankly without hiding anything. "Now, I am the Ultimate War God."
"Ultimate Warrior God"
Di Huaiying repeated in a low voice, his eyes flashing with a sharp light, and his fatigue seemed to have lessened somewhat.
The 43-year-old ultimate warrior may not be amazing enough.
But what if someone were to rise from a warrior-level warrior to the ultimate war god in just a few years?
If this news gets out, it will be enough to shake the entire human world!
But the surprise was fleeting, and Di Huaiying's face quickly darkened again.
He walked to the control panel of the sand table and pulled up a video.
The scene depicts Brook being arrogant and domineering in the C12 base plaza, severely injuring Li Tianlang.
Although the visuals were processed and the sound was muffled, the humiliating gestures and vicious methods were clearly visible.
"I've come to see you today specifically about this matter." Xu Feng pursed his lips. "I want to know, what are they planning to do?"
Di Huaiying's face darkened. He waved for the major to leave and activated the highest level of soundproofing and detection protection in the conference room.
"It's good that you know."
Di Huaiying sighed, his finger sweeping across the holographic sand table, bringing up a detailed view of the western border region.
"The Brooke Dalit case is just the tip of the iceberg."
The Eagle Alliance, especially the four-nation alliance led by Treffis, has been making frequent moves recently, and border frictions are escalating.
Under the guise of "patrol and defense assistance," they actually provoked and probed our territory, and took the opportunity to occupy one of our Kunlun metal deposits.
They seem to have figured out that our current forces are tied down by the alien race, and that Yuan Ying cannot easily break free, so they are becoming increasingly reckless. This is one reason.
"Secondly, it's because your master punched him earlier, and this scoundrel holds a grudge. He doesn't dare to attack your master, so he can only target you."
Xu Feng remained silent for a moment, finding it hard to understand why, given the current situation, Councilor Shiva would still act this way, and why the Eagle Alliance would even allow it.
But he didn't care: "So, you injured Li Tianlang to lure me out? How does the Commander-in-Chief plan to deal with this?"
Di Huaiying sighed: "Terrif is ambitious and has always wanted to integrate the various factions that are split in the Eagle Alliance and regain its former influence."
"Being tough on foreign powers and creating military achievements" was an important means for him to unite his internal forces and establish his prestige.
Now, our Great Xia occupies the best geographical location, close to the Kunlun Mountains, and the foreign tribes seem to be targeting us particularly.
Therefore, it now seems—indeed, to be the most "suitable" target.
He pointed to the red area above the sand table that represented the confrontation between the Star Gods, his tone revealing deep regret: "Li Yuanying is in the sky, confronting the Star Gods of the alien race, restraining each other, neither daring to make the first move."
This is our greatest strategic deterrent, but also our greatest weakness.
Once Councilor Li leaves, the alien star god will be free to eliminate each faction one by one, with unimaginable consequences.
But if your master doesn't move—these hyenas from the Eagle Alliance will keep pouncing and tearing at you.
I really want to preserve the strength of the human race. If we have the opportunity, we can unite and stand up to the alien races.
But now, it seems unlikely.
Xu Feng's eyes flickered slightly: "So?"
A ruthless glint flashed in Di Huaiying's eyes. He stood up and walked to the window.
Although the view outside the window was just a simulated natural landscape, his gaze seemed to pierce through layers of rock walls, looking towards the perilous dimensional sky.
"So... my chiefs of staff and I have gone through the simulations repeatedly."
Di Huaiying's voice was deep and firm.
"If we continue to be controlled from both sides like this, we will only be slowly bled dry and eventually collapse. We must break this deadlock!"
Xu Feng's mind raced: "How do I break through?"
"Since the Eagle Alliance wants to take advantage of our misfortune, then let's just stir things up!" Di Huaiying turned around, staring intently at Xu Feng.
"I intend to have your master abandon the standoff and retreat voluntarily!"
Xu Feng's pupils contracted slightly.
This means that the alien star gods will immediately gain freedom of action and can attack the Wu tribe's various defense lines without restraint!
Di Huaiying's voice carried a hint of bloodlust: "The Eagle Alliance thought we would always be concerned about the Arm Bureau."
But now, the authorities no longer allow us to prioritize righteousness.
If that's the case, why not let the top star gods of the Fang alien race free up their hands, and let each family fight their own battles, and see who can't hold on first!
When the alien star god descends, his primary target will definitely not be Xia.
Because of your master's existence, I don't know who will perish first, but we will definitely be the last to be eliminated by the alien race.
The Eagle Alliance, a four-nation alliance, is currently riding high, expanding its territory the fastest and vying for resources the most fiercely.
They are nothing but easy prey in the eyes of other races!
Moreover, they are plagued by internal strife and their defenses are weak...
"7
This is a dangerous situation where both sides suffer losses, and it might even lead to the wolf entering the house!
But Cheng's move is a ruthless one to break the current deadlock and shift the pressure to the Eagle Alliance.
Di Huaiying was cornered and had no choice but to take this risky move.
Originally, the two families watched over each other and united against each other.
But since you're so heartless, don't blame me for being unjust.
Although Brooke's actions may seem like a minor matter.
But this small example reveals the Eagle Alliance's attitude.
"Of course, this is the last resort."
Di Huaiying's tone softened Fang's.
"Your master has not yet replied. Unless absolutely necessary, who would not want to see all the alien star gods descend upon the earth? That would be a catastrophe."
We are still making a final effort to pressure the Hawk Alliance through other means to curb the arrogance of Brooke and other Ukrainians, but—the effect is minimal.
Xu Feng and You Fang remained silent.
If they don't unite now, how can the Eagle Alliance expect to remain unscathed in the future?
"Isn't that crazy?" Di Huaiying sneered. "Is Terefis trying to take advantage of us by pulling some dirty tricks?"
"Let's see if his little schemes will still work when the alien star god leads his armies to invade!"
Xu Feng instantly understood the commander-in-chief's intention.
This will force all forces to return to the fundamental principle of "jointly fighting against alien races".
Using the crisis of the Armed Forces to forcibly mend the internal rifts, force the Eagle Alliance to restrain itself, and may even lead to a new alliance.
"But the risk is too great."
Xu Feng said in a deep voice.
"What if the alien race concentrates its forces to attack us first? What if other forces stand idly by, or even take advantage of our misfortune?"
"So, this is just a backup plan, a bargaining chip on the negotiating table, a gesture."
Di Huaiying sat back down and tapped the table lightly with her fingers.
"We'll make it clear to the Eagle Alliance and to Treffis that if you push us too far, Armshall won't hesitate to overturn the table! We'll die together! Let's see who gives in first!"
He looked at Xu Feng with a complicated expression: "But this is ultimately a last resort, a desperate measure."
If implemented, the war will escalate to a full-scale war, and countless humans and civilians on Earth will pay a heavy price.
A brief silence fell over the meeting room.
The light and shadow on the holographic sand table flowed silently, reflecting the solemn expressions of the two crows.
"I want to go to the C12 base."
Xu Feng said softly.
"What is Brook's current strength?"
Upon hearing this, Di Huaiying was startled and frowned: "Xu Feng, I understand how you feel."
But Brook is now a confidant of Rentelefis, and he was originally a second-tier Star God.
Although he was injured, his strength is far beyond that of an ordinary first-tier cultivator; you should understand what I mean.
Xu Feng's eyes narrowed slightly.
The difference between each level of the Star God Realm is like an insurmountable chasm.
A first-tier Star God, with blood and energy as powerful as a rainbow, has grasped the rudiments of the laws, can begin to fly, possesses strength in the thousand-ton range, and has a speed exceeding 1000.
meters per second.
Second-tier Star Gods are more adept at using the laws, possess a basic strength of up to two thousand tons, are faster, and are far stronger than first-tier Star Gods.
With Xu Feng's current strength as the Ultimate God of War and possessing the Ten Ancestors' Ten Thousand C Qi and Blood, coupled with numerous trump cards such as the Divine Tree, Chaos Upper, and Star God Weapon, he is a formidable opponent.
Perhaps they can contend with or even kill a powerhouse who has just entered the first level of Star God.
But facing a second-tier Star God—
The consequences are unpredictable and the risks are extremely high.
"Second-tier Star God————"
Xu Feng repeated in a low voice, but his eyes did not show fear; instead, they showed a kind of eagerness.
"I haven't fought against an opponent of this level yet, and Brook is injured, so he can only be considered a Ren 1.5 at most."
Di Huaiying looked at the young Wu, whose gaze was firm and whose aura was as deep as a mountain, and was deeply moved.
He seemed to see the shadow of Li Yuanying from back then.
That kind of indomitable spirit and self-confidence, daring to challenge the heavens.
After a long silence, Di Huaiying let out a heavy sigh: "Fine! Since you have made up your mind, I will not stop you any longer."
But remember, you are not alone. Armie is your support. If you need any support, just ask. Also—”
A cold glint flashed in his eyes: "If you're going to make a move, make it graceful. I'm giving you temporary supreme command authority."
You are authorized, if necessary, to mobilize your intelligence agencies to provide detailed information on the movements and strength of Brooke and his associates.
"What are you planning to do?" Di Huaiying asked. "Shouldn't we just go head-to-head with them?"
Upon hearing this, Cheng Ren laughed: "Of course not. I didn't infiltrate Xiao Qingqiong Mountain by brute force."
"How confident are you?" Di Huaiying's eyes lit up.
"Sixty percent, I guess?" Xu Feng answered honestly.
"Okay!" Di Huaiying nodded gently. "Remember, the first target is to test the waters and then vent your anger."
If things become unmanageable, retreat immediately and prioritize your own safety.
I will have the intelligence department fully cooperate with you to track Brooke's whereabouts and the deployment of Hawk Alliance forces around C12 base.
Regarding your master—I, Cheng, will have contingency plans in place.
"Thank you, Commander-in-Chief!" Xu Feng saluted solemnly.
Di Huaiying walked up to Xu Feng with a smile and patted him hard on the shoulder: "Let that Fang Hyena see that my Bixia tiger cub has grown claws that can tear everything apart!"
Xu Feng nodded, said no more, turned and walked away from the conference room.
The corridor lights elongated his shadow, making it look like a drawn blade.
Di Huaiying gazed in the direction he had left, then slowly sat back down in her chair. She gently tapped the "C12 Base" mark on the holographic sand table with her finger, her eyes deep and thoughtful.
"Pass on my order: all forward bases shall enter a level-two combat readiness state and closely monitor the movements of the Eagle Alliance and alien races."
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs was notified to issue an ultimatum to the Hawks Alliance.
They are given three days to provide a clear response and compensation regarding the repeated provocations and injuries inflicted by Brooke and others; otherwise—they will bear the consequences!
"Simultaneously, activate the 'Shadows' to cooperate with Xu Feng, further infiltrating and sowing discord within the Eagle Alliance... Activate them at any time if necessary!"
"Ren!"
