I transformed into a cute girl and lived a carefree life in the apocalypse.

Even from a distance of thousands of miles, she could sense the mirage dragon's profound strength.

To others, it was a perfectly normal scene, but to Liu Mengxian, there was a vast, invisible aura brewing there.

Liu Mengxian judged that it was by no means a bluff; if left unchecked, the mirage dragon might actually break through that barrier.

Even if the Mirage Dragon still can't defeat her, it will undoubtedly have the ability to protect itself, which will be another big problem.

Ye Qianxue pressed her lips together tightly, seemingly struggling with her own dilemma.

With Liu Mengxian gone, a huge deterrent is gone, and with so much of the existing combat power lost, it's definitely impossible to capture it.

However, the stakes involved are also easy to quantify—once the Mirage Dragon breaks into the Soul Heaven, it will set a precedent, and there will definitely be a second, a third... This is an outcome that all of humanity absolutely cannot accept.

The Sequence level was already restricting humanity in every way; what would happen if so many Soul Heaven level mutated species came along?

Seeing that Ye Qianxue had made up her mind, Liu Mengxian smiled and took her hand, "Take me there."

"Hmm." Ye Qianxue nodded gently, and finally gave Li Hao a look. He still didn't understand, when a beam of light shot out from one end of the void, enveloping Ye Qianxue and Liu Mengxian, and then shattered space and disappeared to the other end.

They were gone without a trace, leaving no trace of Liu Mengxian, giving one the initial feeling that "the gods have passed away".

"Um----?!"

Li Hao was dumbfounded. "Holy crap! What the hell! Why did they just leave without saying a word again?!"

What the hell do we do?!

"Damn it!" He stomped his feet in anger. Was this some kind of charade to make things even more chaotic?!

However, upon closer reflection, something else must have happened, otherwise Ye Qianxue wouldn't have taken Liu Mengxian with her.

What made Ye Qianxue and Liu Mengxian prioritize the Gu King over the Gu King?

"Could it be... that something happened to Yan Ziming or Mu Mu? Damn, I need to call and ask right away."

Li Hao dialed Yan Ziming's number while cursing; nothing had gone right today.

.......

"What happened? Did they leave?"

Liu Dian suddenly realized that the greatest threat that had been hanging over him had disappeared.

After a while, he sensed the aura emanating from the south and understood the reason.

At this distance, only those at the highest level below the Soul Heaven, such as the Void Spirit Realm and the Sequence Realm, can sense it. No wonder Li Hao and the others were completely bewildered.

Liu Dian couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

That Mirage Dragon is blatantly trying to lure us away from our mountain stronghold!

Unfortunately, the humans had no choice but to walk into this trap; otherwise, the mirage dragon might have taken the charade too seriously.

This is an opportunity!

With Liu Mengxian gone and so many ninth-tier combatants leaving, the Gu King no longer needs to worry about anything and can leave in a swagger right now!

But he won't leave. As long as Ina is eliminated, even if he continues to lie low in the Beian Military Administrative Region for three to five years, no one will be able to find him.

Even for a ninth-level spatial ability user, it takes time to travel thousands of miles back and forth.

His time is estimated to be at least ten minutes.

enough!

Liu Dian's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he immediately stopped hiding. The insect-beast attack that had been brewing for a long time was launched immediately. One after another, the Sky Beetles emerged from the ground outside the city wall, causing a commotion. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he broke through the city wall's defenses in one go and quietly and quickly approached Bei'an City.

.......

Yan Ziming was on his way back in Liuguang.

There was still more than an hour until 4 a.m., which was plenty of time. However, to avoid trouble, Yan Ziming decided to return early.

I don't know why Bai He wants her to go back before this time. If it's just something trivial, I'll definitely spank her!

Well, this was just Yan Ziming's idle rant. Bai He's actions were mostly major matters that affected the overall situation.

"Huh? Li Haoyi?"

When Yan Ziming answered the phone, she thought Li Haoyi wanted to ask about the battle situation in Sichuan City, but what he sent was news that surprised her as well.

"Huh? Xian'er is gone? Or did Qianxue take her with her?"

Even Yan Ziming is now confused about what the two of them are up to, but there must be a reason.

"Hmm... I'll ask you now, you wait... um?!"

Yan Ziming suddenly looked south, where there was a kind of energy. As a Thunder Spirit, he immediately locked onto this energy.

A very familiar phenomenon.

She had witnessed this phenomenon twice, once in West Moon City and once in New Moon City.

This is an omen of the soul's destruction.

"This aura...is it a mirage dragon?!"

Yan Ziming was shocked and almost couldn't help but call for the driver of Liuguang to stop and leave—if she hadn't known that Liu Mengxian and the others had already taken action, she might have turned around and gone there.

"No need, I think I know why." Yan Ziming explained what he had seen, and Li Hao almost fell off his chair.

"What did you say?! A mirage dragon?! Why now? No, that's not the point. When did it acquire the ability to break through to the Soul Heaven realm?!"

Yan Ziming looked out the porthole and muttered to himself, "So that's how it is. You charlatan... you even foresaw this? That's why you called me back... You're something else."

"...Wait, no! Holy crap! Xiao Xi is still in Sichuan! What am I supposed to do?!"

37. I didn't expect that either!

Yan Ziming suddenly remembered that the useless Xi was still in Sichuan. She couldn't exert her Sequence-level combat power. What the hell should he do?

Forget it! What's there to be afraid of! There are at least several ninth-rank individuals in the Beian Military Administrative Region. If they join forces, they'll be almost...bullshit!

That's a monster that's almost at the level of a tyrant. In the wilderness, I can still manage to fight it with my skills, but in the city, it will only increase casualties.

Yan Ziming quickly hung up on Li Haoyi and called Mu Mu: "Mu Mu, hurry up and bring Xiao Xi to me, right! Yes, right! It's that big glowing ball in Shu City!"

On the other side, Li Haoyi was still rubbing his temples with a worried expression.

"Tsk tsk... That shouldn't be the case. Where did the Mirage Dragon get the resources to break through to the Soul Heaven realm? If it could do that, wouldn't it have done it already?"

Before long, Li Haoyi also realized that this was a clear diversionary tactic, yet they still had no choice but to deal with it.

After all, it's a mirage dragon. Who knows if it can turn the rotten into the miraculous? It's better to be on guard.

"If we concentrate our forces now and turn our attacks on the Mirage Dragon, I wonder if we'll have a chance? No... that Your Majesty has already gone there; our presence would only be icing on the cake..."

Not long after, someone appeared next to him. "Hey, what's going on?"

It is Murong Haiyi.

You could feel the mountains of corpses and seas of blood emanating from him, his killing intent was chilling, yet he also appeared righteous and peaceful; he had become even stronger than before.

He was originally watching from the south when Liu Mengxian's aura vanished without a trace in an instant, and the situation changed drastically. Sensing something was wrong, he came over to check on the situation.

Why did he suddenly leave?

"An unexpected situation has arisen," Li Hao replied dejectedly, letting out a heavy sigh. "Alas! The plan has already suffered a complete defeat at this point. We still couldn't withstand the Gu King's offensive and subdue the enemy without a fight!"

Indeed, the Gu King didn't even make a move. He forced many ninth-tier beings in China to retreat and defend themselves with just a group of insect beasts. They were defeated before the battle even really started.

"Go and support other places. There's nothing more for us to do here."

......

"Hey? Are you there? If you're not dead, give me a shout."

The door to the intensive care unit opened quietly, and Yan Ziming peeked in; she had arrived.

At this moment, Bai He is watching the war fireworks by her bedside. She wonders how many people will be sleepless tonight. Behind the seemingly peaceful facade, no one knows that they may be engulfed by a raging storm in the next second.

"You're here, a bit early," Bai He said softly as she turned around.

"Didn't you say that coming at four in the morning would be fine? Ten minutes earlier is early, an hour earlier is early, it's all the same."

Yan Ziming turned on the light without ceremony and sat on Bai He's hospital bed. Ina was in another intensive care unit, so she wasn't worried about waking anyone.

"I won't ask why you contacted me, I'll just ask one question: is this part of your plan again?"

"Hehe...that's how it was originally," Bai He chuckled self-deprecatingly.

"Hey, wait a minute, what do you mean by 'originally like this'?"

Yan Ziming couldn't help but get up from the bed again. If she said that, wouldn't the situation get out of control?

"I'm helpless too. There are too many unconventional forces involved: the Mirage Dragon, Liu Mengxian, the Qilin... each one is a huge variable. I can only ensure that I don't lose sight of the overall direction, but it still deviates from the right path..."

"Just like this."

Bai He and Yan Zimo suddenly looked out the window at the same time.

More than ten kilometers away, a huge roar came, and billowing smoke and dust rose up, indicating that it had suffered great destruction. Then Yan Zimo felt an extremely powerful aura approaching this place at a straight distance!

......

Liu Dian quietly infiltrated Bei'an City.
