Both the Iron Blood and Demon investigation teams have withdrawn as ordered by Zhu Zheng and are standing on the city wall on standby at all times.

The captain of the Iron Blood Squad, [Lilong], is a tall man wearing a white mask and covered in a dark brown coat, while the captain of the Demon Squad is a handsome, young-looking white-haired boy, [Taotie] Lu Huang.

The picture of the two standing side by side seemed a bit weird, and they didn't seem to be very familiar with each other.

After all, the investigation team has their own field missions most of the time, and rarely do they act together.

This time, Zhu Zheng urgently recalled them to guard the safety of Blizzard City, but he did not expect that his opponent would be another investigation team leader Deng Shentong.

The captains of the two investigation teams looked at each other and both felt that there was a kind of dark humor in this scene.

Lilong stood on the city wall, staring coldly at the wilderness in the distance through the white mask.

His figure was tightly wrapped in a dark brown coat, as if blending into the cold wind and snow.

There seemed to be an unconcealable bloody smell surrounding the Lilong, and Emperor Lu couldn't help but pinch his nose and walked away a few steps.

"Don't you find it strange? With Erlang Shen's strength, even if the two of us are combined, we are no match for him, not to mention the appearance of another space-based Ipsilon." [Lilong]'s voice was low and hoarse, and he didn't care about Lu Huang's little gesture of disdain.

The captain of the demon squad standing next to him raised his eyebrows slightly, a playful smile on his lips.

"Yeah, I didn't expect that Zhu Shuai would have a conflict with two Ipsilons." Lu Huang's tone was relaxed, but there was a hint of complex emotions in his eyes.

[Lilong] did not respond, but silently clenched the weapon in his hand.

He was no stranger to the name Deng Shentong. As one of the people who became the captain of the investigation team at the same time, this extremely handsome silver-haired man was known as the pride of Blizzard City and was always far ahead in the standings.

What's more, Deng Shentong was the first to break through Ipsilon and repel the rebellious Gao Changkong, making him a shining god in the eyes of the people.

However, now they were in different camps, and the former savior was accused of being a traitor, which made him feel inexplicably absurd.

Emperor Lu seemed to see through Li Long's thoughts. He sneered and said, "Li Long, you are not afraid, are you?"

Li Long glanced at him coldly and said, "Is it useful to be afraid? You and I both know that if we really fight, we won't be able to defeat him in one move."

Lu Huang shrugged and said, "I don't intend to risk my life."

Li Long was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "Maybe."

The white-haired boy smiled and said nothing more.

At this moment, the alarm on the city wall suddenly sounded.

"Attention! The target has entered the attack range!" the soldiers on the city wall shouted loudly.

Lilong and Lu Huang immediately concentrated their attention and looked at the wilderness in the distance.

Deng Shentong and Zhang Yi appeared on the horizon of the snowfield, and they were approaching Blizzard City at a very fast speed.

"You're here so soon." Lilong said in a low voice.

A hint of excitement flashed in Lu Huang's eyes. He licked his lips and said, "Lilong, this time we have to compete to see who is more powerful."

[Lilong] ignored the provocation of the white-haired boy, he just stared at Deng Shentong silently.

Of course he knew that Deng Shentong was extremely powerful, and he could crush Inhumans of Ipsilon's level with just one finger.

When Zhu Zheng sent them to stop them, Deng Shentong didn't even look at the two of them, and let the space-related alien deal with them casually for a few seconds and then leave.

I guess Deng Shentong’s goal wasn’t to kill people, so he just let them go.

Lilong's gaze pierced through the wind and snow and locked onto Deng Shentong, who had fluttering silver hair.

He looked so high-spirited, and the radiance from him was hard to look at directly.

The mission of himself and Lu Huang was almost impossible to accomplish.

Deng Shentong and that guy named Zhang Yi are far more powerful than them, especially Zhang Yi's spatial ability, which can almost ignore any physical attacks.

"Hey, Emperor Lu, have you ever thought about why we are standing here?" Lilong suddenly spoke.

Emperor Lu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Of course it was because of Marshal Zhu's order."

Li Long shook his head and said, "No, it's for survival. In this end times, we can only rely on the strong."

Lu Huang's smile gradually faded, he understood what Li Long meant.

In this cruel world, loyalty and faith are often the least valuable things.

"You mean, we should consider a way out?" Lu Huang asked in a low voice.

Li Long did not answer directly, but asked: "Do you really think we can stop Deng Shentong and Zhang Yi?"

Emperor Lu was silent.

Of course he knew that the two of them together were no match for Deng Shentong, not to mention there was also Zhang Yi from Ipsilon, a space-based person.

"Lilong, what are your plans?" asked Emperor Lu.

Li Long took a deep breath and said, "We can't fight head-on, let's just drag it out."

Emperor Lu nodded and said, "That's right. If Zhu Zheng doesn't have a backup plan, we have to consider how much salary Young Master Deng can offer."

[Lilong] didn't say anything else. He just silently watched Deng Shentong and Zhang Yi getting closer and closer.

"Prepare for battle." [Lilong] said in a deep voice.

Emperor Lu nodded and said, "It's been prepared for a long time."

The two of them told their teammates to get ready, but without them telling them, the teammates knew that this was an opponent that could not be defeated.

Deng Shentong stretched out the six wings behind him, and he and Zhang Yi hovered at the same height as the top of the city wall. Zhang Yi opened the bond between the two realms in advance to guard against the rows of artillery fire that might be fired at any time.

All combatants simultaneously received Zhu Zheng's order to defend, and looked nervously at the two Ipsilon-class opponents.

Most of the Yanyun Guards present were very conflicted, because after the previous Eclipse Moon and Death of Love incidents, many people regarded Deng Shentong as an idol and patron saint, and never imagined that one day they would confront him on the battlefield.

Zhu Zheng was staring at the screen in the command room, occasionally glancing at Zhu Yu's location.

He also knew that Blizzard City's current defenses were no match for the two Ipsilon-level mutants, and the situation would only change after Zhu Yu returned.

As for the Yanyun Guards and the investigation team on the city wall, they were just a delaying tactic.

Deng Shentong is not Gao Changkong. If he doesn't want to prove the crime of treason, he will never take any real action against them.

Just when the two sides were on the verge of a tense situation, Deng Shentong looked at the massive army and suddenly laughed.

His smile was bright, but his eyes were cold:

"Zhu Shuai, you should come out and explain everything yourself."

His voice was calm, but it revealed an unquestionable power.

As soon as the words came out, there was a commotion in Yanyunwei, which was quickly suppressed by Tu Yunlie's cold eyes, while the members of the investigation team, whose discipline was not so strict, began to whisper.

After all, few people would believe that the famous captain of the God Squad would commit treason.

Zhu Zheng stood in the command room and snorted grimly. Then, his voice resounded throughout the battlefield through the huge loudspeaker above the city gate:

“Deng Shentong! You are an Ipsilon-level mutant, yet you dare to collaborate with the enemy and commit treason, attempting to overthrow the ruling order of our Jiangnan region! Now, if you quickly confess your crime and submit to the law, you may still have a chance of survival. Otherwise, the only way waiting for you is death!”

After hearing this, Zhang Yi, who was standing by, couldn't help but look up and burst into laughter:

“Hahahahaha… you old man! What treason is this? It’s just a crime you imposed on others! Do you really think that everyone here is an idiot?”

Zhang Yi stared at Zhu Zheng on the city wall and refuted him mercilessly.

Although Zhang Yi did not have much good feelings towards Deng Yuanbo, he could even be said to be somewhat disgusted with him.

But no matter what, Deng Yuanbo is always Deng Shentong's elder.

In contrast, the old guy Zhu Zheng was the culprit who caused this series of events and the root cause of all troubles and crises.

Therefore, Zhang Yi was unwilling to show any mercy to Zhu Zheng.

"You deliberately dispatched the Heavenly God Squad to a remote area to carry out a mission, and took this opportunity to secretly send someone to assassinate Deng Shentong. Now that things have come to this, you still dare to confuse the public. You are so shameless!"

He took a step forward, emitting a powerful aura, and the Yanyun guards unconsciously tightened their weapons.

"presumptuous!"

Zhu Zheng's intentions were exposed, and his face turned red and white with anger. He subconsciously treated Zhang Yi as an inferior: "Do you have the right to speak here? Deng Shentong, control your dog and don't bite around here!"

Deng Shentong sneered: "I think what he said is right."

Zhu Zheng's eyes flashed with a sinister look, and he suddenly raised his voice: "Great! You and this guy are indeed birds of a feather! I have investigated before, this guy's origins are unknown, but you kept him by your side, and now he has become Ipsilon out of thin air, I'm afraid he is a spy from other countries!"

Zhu Zheng's words were like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, instantly stirring up a thousand waves in the crowd. The members of the Yanyun Guards and the investigation team were whispering to each other and discussing.

Although they had admiration for Deng Shentong, Zhang Yi's appearance was indeed too sudden, and his strength was so powerful that it was inevitable that people would have doubts.

"Spy? Zhu Zheng, you are really good at making up stories."

Deng Shentong smiled coldly, his tone full of disdain, "Zhang Yi is my man, his loyalty is beyond doubt."

Zhang Yi stood beside Deng Shentong with a smug look on his face. A sarcastic smile appeared on his face. "Zhu Zheng, you are desperate, aren't you? You did something wrong, and now you want to throw the dirty water on others?"

Zhu Zheng's face turned pale. He didn't expect Deng Shentong and Zhang Yi to be so tough.

He quickly adjusted his mood and said seriously: "Deng Shentong, don't be stubborn. What you and Zhang Yi have done has seriously threatened the safety of the Jiangnan region. I advise you to surrender immediately, otherwise, you will bear the consequences."

Deng Shentong looked at Zhu Zheng with a sharp gaze, "Zhu Zheng, stop deceiving yourself. Please step down. For the sake of our past friendship, I will not embarrass you."

Zhu Zheng's heart sank, he knew Deng Shentong would not compromise easily.

He quickly ordered: "All combat units, prepare to meet the enemy."

The soldiers on the city wall immediately entered combat status and various defensive weapons were activated.

Seeing this, Zhang Yi sneered: "Zhu Zheng, do you think these scraps of copper and iron can stop us?"

Before he finished speaking, the space gate behind him opened instantly, and countless black tentacles emerged from it, like spirit snakes, attacking the soldiers on the city wall.

At the same time, Deng Shentong also launched an attack. The silver spear in his hand shot out dazzling silver beams of light, heading straight for the fortifications on the city wall.

Zhu Zheng stood in the command room, staring at the screen with a gloomy expression.

"Activate the space jammer." Zhu Zheng gave the order decisively.

Li Lingxue immediately went to execute the order, but Zhang Yi's spatial ability was extremely strong. Although the space jammer caused some interference to him, it did not completely restrict his actions.

"Zhu Zheng, if you have any other tricks, just use them." Zhang Yi said coldly.

Zhu Zheng ignored Zhang Yi's provocation. He quickly walked to the control console and called up Zhu Yu's location information.

"Zhu Yu, come back soon!" Zhu Zheng was anxious. He knew that only if Zhu Yu came back could the situation be reversed.

"Zhu Zheng, you lose." Deng Shentong's voice rang out in the communication channel, "Even Zhu Yu can't stop us."

Zhu Zheng stood up suddenly, his eyes flashing with anger: "Arrogant!"

"Zhu Shuai, no, Zhu Zheng. A despicable person like you is not worthy of sitting in this position."

Deng Shentong continued, "You are unscrupulous in pursuit of power. You originally agreed to a marriage with my Deng family in exchange for the succession to the position of commander-in-chief. Now, just because Zhu Yu has gained a certain level of strength, you have gone back on your word and even want to kill my entire Tianshen team!"

Zhu Zheng was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "Deng Shentong, don't be too proud too soon. You have caused such a big fuss now, don't you consider the future of the Jiangnan region?"

Deng Shentong smiled coldly: "Zhu Zheng, you are wrong. You are already old. The future of Jiangnan District does not belong to people like you."

Zhu Zheng didn't say anything else, he just stared at the screen silently.

Deng Shentong and Zhang Yi continued to launch attacks, and Blizzard City's defense system gradually collapsed.

There were not too many casualties. After all, apart from Zhu Zheng's personal guards, few people were willing to die when the gap in strength was so huge.

"Zhu Zheng, surrender."

Deng Shentong shouted: "Stop resisting in vain!"

Zhu Zheng took a deep breath and then said slowly: "Deng Shentong, I have evidence here."

He quickly operated the console and activated the large projection screen of Blizzard City.

"Deng Shentong, watch carefully." Zhu Zheng's voice rang out in the communication channel, "This is your uncle. What he said is evidence after all."

Deng Shentong frowned slightly when he heard Zhu Zheng's words. He knew Zhu Zheng would not give up easily, but he did not expect that he would openly use Deng Yuanbo as a bargaining chip.

"Zhu Zheng, what tricks are you going to play?"

Deng Shentong asked coldly.

Zhu Zheng did not answer directly, but sneered: "Deng Shentong, don't you want to see your uncle? Then take a good look."

Before he finished speaking, a picture suddenly appeared on the big screen in Blizzard City.

In the picture, Deng Yuanbo was locked in a dim room. His old body was handcuffed tightly to the electric shock chair used for interrogation. His face was pale, but his expression remained calm.

Zhu Zheng was sitting next to Deng Yuanbo, with a disgusting look of complacency on his face, as if he had already seen his victorious future.
