âIt canât be a coincidence! Xuanxin must be in Northern Wilderness too! She must be with the rest of them!â Chen Xiaobei said. âThat means Iâm not stuck between choices. I just need to return to Northern Wilderness and solve both problems at once! Sister Baiâs phone call must have been the work of the Good Luck Charm!â
Bai Linsu and Liu Xuanxin were like chalk and cheese. They were never known to get along which was why Chen Xiaobei never thought of asking Bai Linsu about Liu Xuanxin.
Bai Linsuâs call had provided Chen Xiaobei with very important information which allowed him to come up with a theory!
In fact, if Bai Linsu had not heard about Wei Zhonglieâs activity, she would not have contacted Chen Xiaobei and Chen Xiaobei would have been completely clueless about the whole situation thereby missing the chance to save his people!
There must have been a reason behind this call - and it was in direct relation with the growth of Chen Xiaobeiâs Qi Shu.
All of Chen Xiaobei problems and dilemma was solved just like that.
Chen Xiaobei took out his Returning Bracelet. The point of origin was marked in the Secret Space. With this, he could make his way his to Northern Wilderness Starfield from there.
âŚ
On Silver Plume planet, in the Northern Wilderness Starfield
In the sky above the monstrosity of a waterfall in Silver Plume forest hovered an equally monstrous and technologically advanced mothership.
The spacecraft carried an army of battle spacecraft within its bowels and also armies of soldiers armed to the teeth.
Already, thousands of soldiers had alighted and were surrounding the waterfall.
Among them were two God-Ascension demigods who were evidently the leaders of the group.
They were attempting to close in on the falls but were obstructed by the formation drawn up by a dozen people guarding it.
âHang on, everyone! I managed to get hold of Xiaobei. Heâll be here to save us soonâŚâ One of them said.
The person who had spoken was none other than Liu Xuanxin.
With her gorgeous face unmasked and her white shirt flapping in the wind, one might have mistaken her an immortal; a goddess!
This gorgeous woman was standing on the frontlines of the formation. Her mesmerizing looks alone was enough to distract the enemies.
âThatâs impossible⌠That mothership up there is blocking the cell signals. Iâve tried so many times to reach Chen Xiaobei!â said a tall man with cutting a bold figure. It was Xiangyu.
âYeah⌠Me too. I canât make any calls eitherâŚâ voiced an older gentleman, who was actually Six-Eared Macaque after a transfiguration.
Liu Xuanxinâs forehead creased. âYou have to trust me! I really did get through to him!â
The other person, the Overlord of Northern Wilderness who was also Chen Xiaobeiâs loyal hound sighed, âThereâs no point⌠We canât hold on any longer! Even if you did get to him, Bro Bei wonât be able to get here in timeâŚâ
âYeah⌠Weâre at our limitsâŚâ Chen Xiaobeiâs Tai Yitan said through clenched teeth. âItâs really unfortunate that the four Demonic Beasts canât leave the Secret Space. We could have held on a little bit longerâŚâ
Apart from the four God-Ascension demigods who were Liu Xuanxin, Xiang Yu, Six-Eared Macaque, and the Overlord, a dozen Bei Xuan factionâs strongest disciples were also there.
They were all propagating Ethereal Forces to thwart the enemyâs attack.
This combat formation was the Northern Wilderness Overlordâs secret Pinnacle-phase Spiritual Item-grade formation. Its defensive powers were very strong.
But!
The combat power of the enemyâs leaders, like the Overlordâs, were in the millions. They could easily crush Liu Xuanxin, Xiang Yu and Six-Eared Macaque.
Not making things any better was the enemyâs soldiers, where all of them were at the later-phase of Celestial Cultivation. They could overwhelm nearly all of Bei Xuan factionâs disciples.
Even with the combat formation, it was proving difficult for Bei Xuan to defend themselves.
They were at the point of exhaustion, and the formation could break at any moment.
Some of the other Bei Xuan demigods were unable to join them.
Chen Xiaobei had charged Osnur with managing Atlantis and to guard the passage between earth and the Northern Wilderness Starfield.
Long Zishan had entered the Silver Plume forest alone on an expedition to kill Demonic Beasts.
It would have been helpful to have them with the others but they could not be reached because of the signal blockage.
Other than these two, there were also the Blackwater Mystical Snake and the three Beast Kings! Due to the entrance to the Secret Space being behind the curtain of water, they might destroy the entire structure upon exiting with their mammoth builds.
These few people were all that Bei Xuan faction could afford.
From the looks of it, defeat was inevitable. How much longer could they hold on?
It was only a matter of time before they become the enemyâs captives.
Worse still, Chen Xiaobeiâs parents, Jiang Ziya, Ne Zha, Hong Haiâer, Old Wang, Chen Xiaobeiâs lady friends, and weaker disciples were all in the Secret Space!
It would end in blood if the enemy got in.
âHold on⌠Everyone⌠We must hold on⌠I really did manage to get Chen Xiaobei on the phone. I believe heâll be here very soon!â Liu Xuanxin raised her voice to encourage the others who were in great distress.
Seeing how persistent a woman was, the men toughened up. They would not give up either.
âHehe! You should just give up! Or else, weâll start killing hostages!â
Another group of enemies appeared on the other side of the forest.
The person leading them was none other than Wei Zhonglie.
Flanking him were two powerful old men.
Behind the three of them were thousands of soldiers, each holding onto a hostage. There were hundreds of them.
The entire Governor Dong Zhuo Family!
The entire Wenren Family!
The entire Miao Family!
Chen Xiaobeiâs three good friends, Ning Yuchen, Liu Chen, and Hu Ben!
Each of them had a knife held to their necks. Their lives in the hands of Wei Zhonglie!
âWhy have you captured us? WhyâŚâ Liu Chen was struggling and squirming.
âBecause of the guy named Chen Zhufeng!â Wei Zhonglie smiled. âHe severed my arm! Everyone related to him has to die!â
âChen Zhufeng? Zhufeng?â Liu Chen shouted back at him. âHey, old man! You must have gotten it all wrong! Zhufeng is only a Zero-star Black-steel new recruit! How could he have severed your arm?â
âYou little bitch! Are you mocking me? Are you saying that Iâm inferior to a new recruit?!â Wei Zhonglie snapped. âGuards! Drag this b*tch to that combat formation and cut her up!â
Liu Chen turned as pale as a ghost.
âDonât you dare!â An angry voice called out from behind the veil of rushing water.
âWho is that?â screamed Wei Zhonglie as he searched for the voice.
Everyone else did the same as well.
A shadow leaped down from the waterfall.
âZero-star Black-steel Chen Zhufeng!â
