Chapter 1386 Purple Qi Spreads Across the Military Path

Because the Natural Faction did not keep their internal meetings secret, news of the vote quickly spread to all parties.

Inside the Fusion Faction headquarters, the mirror-like walls of the hall reflected blurry black figures.

"Our plan has been initially successful. The Naturalists have abandoned their support for the Pureists and have decided to nominate their own candidate instead."

"It's good news."

"But this only weakens the competitiveness of the Pure Faction, and does not guarantee that our people will win by a landslide."

The "purists" also have the right to recommend it, and because of Skylines' influence, the "implanters" will absolutely not jump ship from the "purists'" group; this incident will only solidify their stance.

"So besides making sure the Refinement Party is committed to us, it would be best to win over the Nature Party this time."

If other schools of thought decide something through a meeting, it's almost impossible for it to change, but that's not necessarily the case with the Nature School.

A decision can be made in a meeting today, but it could be overturned tomorrow for some reason. Of course, the "naturalist" faction isn't stupid; there needs to be sufficient benefit and something to satisfy them.

It sounds simple, but it's actually quite difficult to achieve, but they're willing to give it a try.

If someone receives a joint recommendation from three factions, it represents the support of the vast majority of political forces, and there is almost no suspense in that regard.

Although the Supreme Advisory Council has the final say, it usually does not refute this opinion.

"Alright, we can give it a try."

As soon as Cheng Gao came out of the Seven-Cornered Starfish Pavilion, he informed Ren Xinshan of the voting results.

After expressing his gratitude, Ren Xinshan considered it for a moment and then immediately contacted Chen Chuan.

"Counselor Chen, news has come from the Natural Faction that they have decided to recommend their own candidate. But don't worry, this outcome is not irreversible. We might still be able to make some efforts before the end of the year."

Even if we ultimately fail, we simply won't gain a decisive advantage; the outcome is still uncertain until the very end.

Chen Chuan said, "Okay, senior, thank you for letting me know." He smiled and said, "I also agree with what you said, senior. The outcome is still uncertain until the very end."

After ending the call, his mood wasn't affected at all; in fact, it was quite good. Just moments before, he had received a message notification from Qi Weizhao:

The garrison in Anbu Province will launch a military operation at 6:00 AM on December 10th.

That leaves seven days.

Once the war progresses, it will not easily stop until the strategic goal of breaching the northern gate of the old imperial court is achieved.

Perhaps this time, we can truly destroy the old imperial family in one fell swoop.

The old imperial family should have no shortage of resources, and the main participants will undoubtedly get the biggest slice of the pie, so he doesn't need to keep an eye on the internal part.

He slowly closed his eyes, sensing the changes in the mutated tissue within his body.

At this moment, the spiritual fire within his body was extremely intense, as if a volcano was buried and waiting to erupt.

Based on what he knows, most martial artists from the Dongxuan Temple can form three to four layers of spiritual fire defenses around their bodies, with four layers being extremely rare. It's possible that some people can achieve even more.

But this is merely a matter of stacking up defensive layers. What he has here cannot be distinguished by that alone. In addition to the commonly existing mutated organizations, he also has the Purple Qi mutated organization. The combination of the two forms a more complex structure, completely transcending a dimension.

Therefore, he had some doubts about whether the power provided by the Celestial Man Secret Diagram was the same. If so, then having higher potential and greater growth would make sense.

He was curious to see what was on this secret map.

It all depends on whether Cheng Gao can bring that thing this time.

At the same time, he couldn't help but think that since there were such people in the world's powerful nations, alliances, and various schools of thought, there must be similar people in the old imperial family as well.

Even if the old imperial family can now be considered inhuman anomalies, they should still be able to utilize these powers.

If that's the case, we might run into each other in this war, and that would be a good opportunity to test the strength of these kinds of people.

Because of the complexity of his alienated organization, the time required for his transformation and ascension is far longer than that of ordinary fighting parents.

Because of his solid foundation, he is becoming stronger every day than he was in the past.

Based on his own estimation, this power should last until the end of the year, or perhaps longer, but it shouldn't exceed January of next year. At that time, he can begin his formal "self-examination" practice.

For the next few days, he prepared to participate in military operations.

Meanwhile, news kept arriving from Qi Weizhao's side every day.

It's worth noting that some issues arose in Hadong Province. The local council, unwilling to be suppressed, launched a counterattack with the support of powerful backers, and it seems that due to the strength of this support, the situation was almost reversed.

Fortunately, the progressive faction was well-prepared and responded appropriately this time, so they did not succeed. Instead, they took the opportunity to clean up some of the remaining forces.

Chen Chuan had a feeling that Hedong Province might have deliberately opened up some loopholes, drawing on the experience of Jibei Province at the time. Although this was somewhat dangerous, if successful, it would be more conducive to subsequent control over the entire central city.

Next, we'll look at Anbei Province.

Several days passed in the blink of an eye. On December 10th, a message came from his boundary token: a string of pre-arranged code.

He knew it was time to leave.

At that moment, his eyes flickered, and a large amount of purple energy suddenly floated out of his body, almost illuminating the entire training ground with a soft purple glow.

The purple aura contracted again, coalescing into a human figure, transforming into another version of himself. He reached for the Snow Lord Blade from the nearby sword rack and walked outside.

Once outside, Chaoming chirped at him.

Chaoming will accompany him this time. As a super-limited creature skilled in flight, it has a wide enough field of vision and can help him in many ways.

Moreover, this is a rare opportunity for Chaoming's mutated organization and combat capabilities to be greatly improved.

The clone obviously doesn't have the ability to be a second self, but their spirits are interconnected, providing an inexhaustible supply. Coupled with various secret techniques, it's more than enough to deal with the current situation.

Under the agreement, fighters are generally not allowed to move around freely. They must apply to the Fighters Council or the local government. This is a constraint on the use of force to prevent fighters from acting recklessly.

However, as a clerk in the Security Affairs Department, he has temporary emergency passage authority, because sometimes the Security Affairs Department cannot be restricted when handling problems.

And it was precisely at this moment that he happened to be in this department, as if it had all been arranged in advance.

But he knew that there was definitely a progressive faction involved, and that the decision had likely been made the moment he became a member of the Security Affairs Department.

The clone glanced at him, then its body dissipated into a cloud of purple energy, attaching itself to Chaoming's body. The latter was enveloped in a purple halo, then flapped its wings and soared into the sky. After a burst of light emanated from its body, it flew swiftly into the distance.

Chao Ming deliberately sped up this time, and soon left Zhongjing, then headed north to leave the central city of Beiwei.

At the border of Anbuk-do's administrative region, there is a cargo transfer center where an airship is parked and people are unloading goods.

This airship is the transport ship that usually goes to Anbei Province. It has a formal number and record in the central city of Anbei Province. This time, it is also the transit station responsible for welcoming Chen Chuan and communicating with him.

After the skyline of Hadong Province was added to Anbei Province, the local council became very nervous, fearing that it would also be infiltrated. Therefore, it strengthened internal and external guard and surveillance, especially raising its vigilance against foreign fighters to the extreme, and keeping an eye on them almost at all times.

During this period, the municipal council rejected and restricted the activities and visits of all outside fighters for the next year. Even though Chen Chuan holds security investigation authority, the local government has the right to refuse entry unless there is a specific incident clearly endangering national security.

Of course, Chen Chuan could easily bypass these restrictions and enter the fusion area directly with his own abilities, but he would try his best not to leave any room for criticism when possible.

At this moment, two people on the airship were looking around, keeping an eye out for any passing vehicles.

At that moment, one of them nudged the other's arm, "Hey, look!"

The other person followed his gaze and looked up, and saw something that looked like a large bird or a flying beast flying towards them from afar, its target clearly defined.

And when the two people saw it, it seemed to speed up, and in a flash it was close by.

The two felt a flash of platinum light before their eyes, and it seemed that a wisp of purple energy also drifted by. A figure appeared in mid-air, enveloped in light, and slowly floated down.

Then the bird-like creature let out a cry, suddenly shrank, and landed on his shoulder with a brilliant spiritual flame.

A short domain signal came from the two people's realm. After looking at the appearance of the person who came, their faces showed a mixture of awe and excitement. They looked at him and said, "Mr. Chen...?"

Chen Chuan nodded and said, "It's me."

One of them immediately said excitedly, "Mr. Chen, we are here to meet you on orders from our superiors."

Chen Chuan looked around: "This airship?"

"Yes, don't be fooled by the fact that it's a transport airship; it's actually been modified and flies very fast."

Furthermore, because this shipment involves urgently needed supplies, it has emergency clearance and will not be subject to any detention or investigation within the administrative area of ​​Anbei Province.

Chen Chuan asked, "When do we depart?"

"It will only take a few minutes, we'll be packing right away."

The main cargo had already been loaded, and Chen Chuan arrived at just the right time, so they didn't need to make too many adjustments. In just five minutes, everything was ready.

The airship's propellers began to spin, and it slowly detached from the anchor tower. After making slight adjustments to its direction, it headed towards the central city of Anbei Province.
