Chapter 32: The Return
In the past five years, all of Zhou Xiaoning's energy has been devoted to coordinating the chaotic times and the power of order, and his perception of the outside world is almost zero.
I have to say that Zhou Xiaoning's heart is really big enough, even a transcendent-level powerhouse does not dare to close his perception in the Endless Void, you must know that the Endless Void is not as calm as it seems on the surface. Not to mention the Chaos Heavenly Demon that will emerge at some point, or other void creatures, the Void Storm that blows up every once in a while is enough to kill people.
Zhou Xiaoning also relied on his own shuttle gem protection, so he was so fearless. In fact, in the past five years, Zhou Xiaoning has encountered thousands of Void Storms, no less than 100 attacks by Chaos Heavenly Demons and Void Creatures, if it weren't for the fact that the shuttle gem was strong enough, and Zhou Xiaoning's luck was not bad, if he hadn't encountered a transcendent-level existence, he would have died no longer knowing how many times.
But even so, Zhou Xiaoning's current situation is still not good. The shuttle gem can only passively protect Zhou Xiaoning from harm, which means that in the past five years, Zhou Xiaoning has been kicked around like a "ball", so that when Zhou Xiaoning woke up, he didn't know where he was. Even the connection between him and the New Dragon Realm has become vague. From this point of view, Zhou Xiaoning has been sent to a place far away from the New Dragon Realm.
According to Zhou Xiaoning's speed of flying at full speed, it is estimated that it will take more than ten or twenty years to return to the New Dragon Realm, and by that time, the Chaos Heavenly Demon has already broken the seal, and maybe even the results have already been made.
Thinking that because of his tardiness, he failed to contact the Galaxy Saint Venerable in time and summoned the support of the Remnants, resulting in a great defeat in the present world, and all the people he cared about and cared about were tragically poisoned by the Chaos Heavenly Demon, Zhou Xiaoning's psychology trembled.
Zhou Xiaoning couldn't help but secretly swear that he would not let the fantasy scenario become a reality.
Under normal circumstances, it is naturally impossible for Zhou Xiaoning to rush back in time, but don't forget that Zhou Xiaoning has a shuttle gem in his hand, as long as he can lock the coordinates of the void in the present world, rushing back is just a matter of opening the space door and then taking these two steps.
According to Zhou Xiaoning's speculation, it would take about ten days for the shuttle gem to lock the void coordinates of the present world. It just so happens that Zhou Xiaoning can take advantage of this gap to deal with the affairs of [Senluo Vientiane].
When testing the power of chaos before, Zhou Xiaoning had tried to use it to urge the magic weapon, but it may be because of the mismatch of energy, it is quite difficult to control. However, [Senluo Wanxiang] is an exception, it seems to like the power of chaos very much, every time it is urged by the power of chaos, it will become extremely active, and its power will also increase a lot, although it is not against the Chaos Heavenly Demon, it can also exert a power commensurate with the level of the holy weapon.
In addition, Zhou Xiaoning also found that the speed of refining [Senluo Vientiane] with the power of chaos would be very fast, and it would have taken several years, but now, ten days is enough.
The words are divided into two ends, when Zhou Xiaoning is working hard to go home, the "internal rectification of the alliance" led by Lias, Erica and others, supplemented by Zhuge Liang, Chen Gong and other think tanks, has also been launched.
Although those guys with bad intentions are very cautious, the Two Realms City is not easy to mess with, as long as you have the heart, some evidence can still be found.
Erica and others used these evidences as weapons to find out a lot of black sheep. But everyone knows that these people are just pawns who have been pushed to the forefront, and there are other people who are planning behind the scenes.
It's just that Erica and the others originally just planned to give a warning to those guys who were hiding behind the scenes, so that they would retreat, after all, it would not be good for anyone to die in the end.
After such a rectification, those guys are indeed a lot more honest. Moreover, Erica and the others also took the opportunity to push the people who could be trusted to the position of those who were taken down, and for a while, the voice of the Two Realms City in the Earth Alliance increased greatly, almost to the point of a word.
It's just that in this way, the number of base lords who are dissatisfied with the Two Realms City has increased. And at the instigation of people with intentions, these base lords secretly colluded together.
So, when Erica and the others were unaware, an alliance that included eighty percent of the Alliance's base lords for the purpose of resisting the Two Realms City was established. And most of the remaining two percent of the base lords are not wanting to offend the alliance of many people, nor do they want to offend the powerful cities of the two realms, so they maintain neutrality. The only ones who can stand with the Two Realms City from beginning to end are the Sun family, the Qian family, and a few other bases that have received the blessings of the Two Realms City.
These days, Erica and the others can feel more and more resistance from within the alliance, although no one dares to disobey the orders they issued, but they can definitely be delayed, and they will never be completed until the deadline.
In this way, Erica and the others seem to be very passive, and want to punish them, but they have obviously completed the task within the time limit, at most they have a negative attitude, and in the charter of the alliance, there is no provision to deal with this situation, except for a few words of verbal criticism, there seems to be no other way to deal with it. But if you let it go, Erica can't say anything about the breath in their hearts, and it will make the other party even worse.
For the sake of the stability of the alliance, Erica and the others had to turn a blind eye to this matter, at most they would beat it from time to time, and besides that, they really couldn't think of any other way, so they couldn't just send an army to destroy them, right?
It's just that the forbearance of the women seems to be regarded as weak and bullying by those who have a heart, and they have been acting more and more excessively recently, and even in this meeting, they openly fought against them!
"Miss Erica, it's not like I'm trying to embarrass you, but it's a bit inappropriate for you to want us to move all the non-combatants to the Two Realms City and arrange it with your consent."
It was a medium-sized base lord from North America who spoke, but everyone present knew that it must have been his American imperial father who was instigating it behind him, otherwise how could a lord of a medium-sized base with him dare to go against the women who held the power of the Two Realms City?
"As I said before, this is to reduce unnecessary casualties."
Although Erica is very reluctant to use Reinhardt to poke a hole in that guy who is doing things now, she also knows that if she does so, she will undoubtedly find an excuse for those who want to attack the city of the two realms. Now that the Chaos Heavenly Demon might break out of the formation at some point, she really didn't want to consume her already tense combat power on meaningless infighting.
Erica took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in her heart, and said in a calm tone as much as possible: "In the information we shared with you before, it was mentioned that the loss of sealing energy to suppress the Chaos Heavenly Demon has intensified, and the time for the Chaos Heavenly Demon to break the seal will probably be much earlier than we expected. And no one can say where the Chaos Heavenly Demon will use as a breakthrough, for the sake of safety, so we hope that everyone can transfer their respective civilians to the Two Realms City, where they will be best taken care of, and once it is impossible, they can also open the spirit net, take them into the void, avoid the attack of the Chaos Heavenly Demon, and leave a little fire for our civilization. β
Erica's attitude was very sincere, which made the hearts of many base lords start to waver.
"Hehe, what Chaos Heavenly Demon, what seal, that's all you, oh, no, it's your city lord Zhou Xiaoning who said it. Now that I think about it, those are just his family's words, and it's hard to judge whether they are true or false. In such a situation, how can you let me trust the civilians to you, in case you want to take this opportunity to annex us and dominate the earth? β
This time, it was a base lord from an island nation who spoke.
I have to say that the people of the island country are really as tenacious as Xiaoqiang, as a two-dimensional production power, the various fantasy creatures that have descended on their territory are endless, and even all the bases have been wiped out by Yuanlu Zhiquan. But only a few years have passed, and many bases have begun to appear in the island country, and some of them have reached seven stars.
Strictly speaking, the reason why the base lords of the island country can have a good life now is thanks to Zhou Xiaoning who destroyed Yuan Lu Zhi, otherwise they would probably still be oppressed by him to this day. Moreover, if the development of those bases had not been funded by the Two Realms City, it would not have been possible to develop to this extent.
But as a result, this group of little devils was ungrateful, and they actually twisted together with the US imperialists to make a stumbling block for the two realms cities, and this is a group of white-eyed wolves that are not familiar with it.
What's even more infuriating is that in the past few days, those base lords of the island country have secretly found girls from other world island countries such as Poison Island Tsuneko and Wanli Gu Yuri, wanting to use this relationship to reap benefits from them.
Needless to say, those guys came confidently and walked away, if they weren't afraid that killing them would cause turmoil in the alliance, they would have already started it.
"Damn, it's him again!"
Zaoyue looked at the island country base lord with a disgusted face, just last night, this guy secretly came to her, asked her to betray her brother, and said bad things about her brother, and even turned out the original plot of the Holy Sword World, trying to sow discord. Hmph, I really underestimate the relationship between her and her brother!
"Calm down early, is it true that if the dog bites you, do you have to bite it back, what's the difference between that and a beast?"
Shizunai said lightly, but everyone could hear that her words contained full disdain for the base lord.
"You!"
Being compared to a brute, the base lord was naturally not happy, but in the end he endured it, after all, Shizunai's strength was there, and beating him was like playing, and he didn't want to be bored.
"Hmph, Miss Erica, I think you should invite City Lord Zhou out and let him give us an explanation."
"I've said it many times before, Xiao Ning is in retreat, and when he comes out, he will naturally meet with everyone. Until then, the two realms have been handled by our sisters. β
Erica looked at the base lord of the island country with an unkind face, she could see that except for a small number of base lords who had made good friends with the two realms city, everyone else came to find something, it seems that the methods they took before were still too gentle, so that these guys who don't know the height of the sky are a little fluttery, and they don't know who is the boss of the world!
"Of course we know this, but the situation is serious, it's better to ask City Lord Zhou to show up and tell everything."
The one who spoke was a beautiful imperialist in a straight suit, he was the only lord of an eight-star base in North America, and it was said that he had also obtained a prop that could threaten a ninth-order powerhouse before, and it was probably because of this that he had the confidence to put Erica here.
"You, you ......"
The pressing of the base lords had forced Erica to a dilemma, and she knew that if these people couldn't see Zhou Xiaoning, they wouldn't give up.
"Damn, I don't know who leaked the news, otherwise how would these people keep holding on to this matter!"
Erica gritted her teeth and thought, it seems that the news that Zhou Xiaoning is not in the Two Realms City is about to be hidden, but it is too naΓ―ve to think that she can handle them in this way, without Zhou Xiaoning, there are still more than 20 ninth-order powerhouses here, even if the American emperor really has any precious props as hole cards, is it possible to deal with all of them at the same time?
Erica had prepared for the worst in her mind, and she quickly made eye contact with the women, and if it really couldn't calm down, then go to war!
"Yo he, what day is today, people are so together."
The sudden insertion of the voice suddenly broke the tense atmosphere in the conference room, and everyone subconsciously looked in the direction from which the voice came, and then all showed surprised expressions.
"Xiao Ning!"
"City Lord Zhou!"
"Hehe, it seems that during my retreat, many people missed me very much. Okay, I'm here, just tell me if you have anything to say. β
Zhou Xiaoning walked straight to the sofa placed in the middle of the conference room, sat down, and his sharp gaze swept over the body of the base lord one by one, and finally landed on the American imperialist lord.
"You seemed to want to see me just now, why do you have a ghostly look when you see me now, do I look scary?"
"No, no, it's my honor to meet City Lord Zhou."
The American Imperial Lord wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and at the same time glared at his henchman behind him viciously, it was this guy who repeatedly assured him, what did he say....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
