Chapter 854 - 385: Refusing to Clean Up the Mess (Part 2)
"You’ve done well."
He said softly, "Even better than I imagined."
Xu Yuebing smiled lightly and was about to say more when suddenly, her communicator rang.
"President Xu, there’s trouble."
Yun Yan’s voice came through the communicator, grave and urgent.
Xu Yuebing furrowed her brows, "What happened?"
"Yanmen Base has been attacked, and the Profound Gu Nest sample has been taken."
"What?!"
Xu Yuebing stood up abruptly, "Where is Yuan Maochun?"
"He’s already been executed, but the item... we’ve pursued for several days without recovering it."
Ye Qingzhou’s eyes turned icy as he took the communicator, "Do we know who was responsible?"
Yun Yan was silent for a moment, then said, "Suspected to be the Golden Council, but there’s no evidence."
Ye Qingzhou sneered, "Suspicion is enough."
He stood up, his eyes swirling with Chaos Dao Pattern, his voice cold, "I’ve never needed evidence to act."
Xu Yuebing looked at him, speaking softly, "Will you act personally?"
Ye Qingzhou curled his lips, his smile not reaching his eyes, "Since the Golden Council dared to touch my belongings, they should be ready to pay the price."
He raised his hand, and a swirl of gray-white Chaotic Qi appeared in his palm, instantly halting the Spiritual Qi of the entire Linjiang Water Pavilion.
"Perfect, I also want to see..."
"How many strikes these so-called ’Divine Blood Saint Descendants’ can withstand."
......
In the depths of the steel-forged Eagle’s Nest, three figures silently watched the flickering images on the holographic map – Jiuyi Mountain Peak, where ten thousand rays of Dawn soared into the sky, reflecting the entire sky over Dongji Kingdom as if ablaze.
"Five years."
Army Commander Horn’s mechanical eye glowed coldly, his tone grim, "That man actually crawled back from Hell, this is truly not good news."
Navy Commander Carlos caressed the Bronze Compass at his waist, snorted coldly, "Those fools in the Golden Council chose to interfere with the Divine Sword Group’s belongings at this time, as if Ye Qingzhou is dead."
"Latest intelligence."
Air Force Commander Isabel lightly tapped her fingertip, switching the map to the ruins of the Yanmen laboratory, "The Profound Gu Nest sample taken, traitor Yuan Maochun executed, but energy remnants of the Blood Race were detected at the site."
The room temperature dropped sharply.
Horn’s steel gauntlet slammed onto the table, producing a dull roar, "Over the years, the hand of the Divine Blood Saint Descendants has stretched too far! They control finance, technology, beliefs, and now they even want to infiltrate the military!"
Sitting beside him, Carlos added coldly, "Last week they attempted to plant an inspector in the Navy, I fed them to the sharks."
The Floating Cannon behind Isabel flickered slightly, "So? Are we cleaning up the Golden Council’s mess?"
"Helping?"
Horn sneered, his mechanical eye switching to slaughter mode, "Order all military satellites to pause monitoring of the East Pole – let those vampires face the Martial God’s wrath themselves!"
Just as the meeting was about to end, Carlos suddenly tossed a blood-red coin. It had the Golden Council’s emblem on one side and thirteen coffins engraved on the other.
"Care to bet? How many days until Ye Qingzhou reaches the Western Pole?"
Isabel caught the coin, her quantum pupils streaming with data, "72 hours."
She suddenly crushed the coin, "On the condition that... those old monsters lying in coffins continue to play dead."
As the coin fragments hit the ground, thunder exploded outside Eagle’s Nest, and torrential rain poured down.
......
Within the Canaan Holy Hall, Tianci smashed the armrest of the Obsidian Throne with a palm, his scarlet eyes fixated on the two Golden Council Holy Blood representatives before him.
"This isn’t what we agreed upon!"
His voice was like eternal ice, "You previously didn’t mention your actions would anger a God!"
The faces of the two Divine Blood Saint Descendant representatives from the Golden Council were gloomy, led by Leonard, the "Silver Blood," who slowly stood and tapped his fingers on the table, "We truly didn’t know he would resurrect, nor did we know he could achieve Ascension and Godhood."
"Didn’t know?"
Tianci sneered, "You control the intelligence network of the Western Pole Kingdom; even the Dongji Military’s troop movements escape your surveillance, yet now you tell me you didn’t know?"
Leonard was silent for a moment, finally shaking his head, "Ye Qingzhou’s resurrection exceeded our projections, his existence... has disrupted the layout of the Saint Ancestors."
Of the Holy Blood Thirteen Clans, except for Tianci’s branch, five branches of Saint Descendant sub-clans guard Canaan, while the other seven have long dispersed, entwining like parasitic vines around the power core of the Western Pole Kingdom.
Golden Council – controls finance and technology, jointly ruled by the "Silver Blood," "Red Flame Blood," and "Shadow Blood."
Science Strategy Department – researches forbidden technology, infiltrated by the "Alchemy Blood" and "Mechanical Blood."
Blood-Colored Sanctuary – manipulates faith and public opinion, controlled by the "Blood of the Holy Word" and "Blood of Prayer for Death."
The only part not fully infiltrated remains Eagle’s Nest – the ultimate power center of the three armies of the Western Pole.
Back then, the Celestial Sword Bureau wasn’t under the control of the Holy Blood Thirteen Clans, so when Ye Qingzhou destroyed the Celestial Sword Bureau, these cold-blooded beings chose to stand by idly.
Now, tit for tat, it’s Eagle’s Nest’s turn not to save them.
Tianci’s eyes flared with a blood-red light, "When will support from Eagle’s Nest arrive?"
The four exchanged glances, finally shaking their heads, "It won’t come."
"Horn has already ordered all military satellites to stop monitoring the East Pole."
"Carlos has sealed the Navy base, refusing entry to any Holy Blood Messenger."
"Isabel... even severed Thought Ability communication with the Golden Council."
One bad news followed another, rendering Tianci silent for a long time. Finally, he slowly lifted his head, his voice deep and dangerous, "Since it’s come to this... then we can only call for the Saint Ancestor’s emergence."
Deep beneath Canaan, thirteen Golden Coffins lay quietly.
Tianci knelt before the coffin of the Seventh Saint King, Salmas, using blood as ink to inscribe an ancient awakening spell on the coffin lid.
"Great Seventh Saint Ancestor, your descendants seek your guidance..."
The banns on the coffin’s rune shattered inch by inch, and a pale hand suddenly pierced through the coffin lid, gripping Tianci’s throat.
"This is the second time you’ve woken me up."
Salmas’s voice exploded directly in everyone’s soul, and the entire Holy Hall began to collapse.
Tianci struggled to look up at the Saint Ancestor awakened from his long slumber, yet his lips curled into a mad smile.
"Saint Ancestor... Ye Qingzhou has returned."
"This time... we need your power."
......
On the helipad of Yanmen Military Base, the roar of turbine engines hadn’t completely faded when Ye Qingzhou’s boots touched the concrete surface, and he saw the familiar figure leaning against an armored vehicle, waving at him.
"Old Gu?"
Ye Qingzhou raised an eyebrow, "Not doing your research in the Imperial capital, running here to eat sand?"
Celestial Secret Divine Calculator Gu Minghui adjusted his gold-framed glasses, the lenses reflecting the base’s searchlights, "Heard a certain Martial God was coming to settle accounts with the Golden Council, so I specially brought the latest toy for you."
He patted the metal box behind him, "Guaranteed to be ten times more thrilling than that old ’Divine Sword Celestial Monarch Armor.’"
As Gu Minghui input a triple password, the metal box blossomed like a lotus. Suspended in the center was a streamlined set of dark gold armor components, with a surface flowing like liquid metal.
"Modular design, each component engraved with a complete Golden Talisman Secret Text."
Gu Minghui traced an operation interface in mid-air with his fingertips, "The best part is these modules can combine according to your wishes..."
The Void Melting Furnace first flew towards Ye Qingzhou’s chest, transforming into flowing Golden Liquid at the moment of skin contact, outlining the Chaos Dao Pattern’s contour. Ye Qingzhou’s pupils contracted as he sensed the spiritual power within him undergoing a transformation.
"This is...?"
"A Primordial Qi amplification device designed based on the legendary Celestial King Dominating Body, it has good compatibility with your Primordial Dao Body."
Gu Minghui proudly displayed the data panel, "During testing, it directly drained one-third of the Primordial Qi of a small Grotto Heaven."
When the second module Sword Scale Emperor Armor covered his body, space around Ye Qingzhou began to distort.
