Long River Eternity

Inside the Tianshu Pavilion not long ago.

Zhan Wushuang, who had just finished dealing with the aftermath of the Silver Flash incident, felt her eyes ache and unbearable. She rubbed her eyes gently and was about to take a short nap to relieve the fatigue of the whole night. However, the phone on the table rang like a sharp alarm.

Zhan Wushuang frowned slightly, a hint of impatience flashing in her eyes, but she still answered the phone immediately. Her voice was filled with a hint of fatigue that was hard to conceal: "Hello, this is Zhan Wushuang."

A panicked and anxious voice came from the other end of the line: "Secretary Zhan, just now, Dongzhou City has completely lost contact with us! We tried everything, but it's no use."

"How could this happen?" Zhan Wushuang was shocked. Her initial fatigue was instantly thrown away, replaced by a solemn expression. Without giving it any time to think, she said decisively, "I'll be right there." With that, she hurriedly hung up the phone and rushed to the room.

Her heart was filled with doubts and worries.

Although the fortifications did not include the capitals of the four states, each capital was guarded by strong men from the Frontier Development Team, and the city lords were extremely powerful and top-notch masters.

On weekdays, the communication departments of each capital city maintain close contact with Tianshu Pavilion.

Even if they were attacked by monsters, even if it was a powerful monster from the Tianxuan Realm, with the tenacious resistance and delay of many powerful people, there would always be time to send a distress signal to the Tianshu Pavilion. It would be impossible for them to lose contact so suddenly.

What kind of crisis is hidden in this?

Zhan Wushuang rushed to the command room at lightning speed. When he stepped inside, he saw that the huge room was full of people. The entire wall was covered with densely packed surveillance screens. The images switched rapidly like a kaleidoscope, presenting the scenes from all over the place one by one.

The general manager of Dongzhou was a middle-aged man with gray hair. He had sharp eyes and caught sight of Zhan Wushuang's figure at the first moment. He quickly stood up and walked forward with a slightly anxious pace.

His eyes seemed to casually sweep behind Zhan Wushuang, but in fact, there was a hint of exploration in them, as if he was looking for some important figure.

Zhan Wushuang was extremely smart and understood his thoughts in an instant, knowing that he must be looking for Zhan Tianqiong.

She looked calm and said in a steady tone, "Minister Zhan has other important matters and cannot get away, so let me first understand the specific situation."

The general manager was full of doubts. In his opinion, what could be more urgent than the loss of contact with a state capital?

But he was well aware of his own identity and position, and did not dare to reveal his doubts at all. He could only nod his head repeatedly with a face full of respect.

Zhan Wushuang had no intention of dwelling too much on Zhan Tianqiong's affairs. She frowned slightly, her eyes revealing a hint of anxiety as she asked impatiently, "What exactly happened in Dongzhou City?"

The general manager's expression was tense, beads of sweat trickling down his forehead. He hurried forward and reported with a hint of urgency, "As you know, all key locations within Zhongzhou are equipped with surveillance equipment. However, the complex environment outside Zhongzhou City, plagued by demonic beasts, makes it impossible to install surveillance equipment. Therefore, we have been using daily scheduled long-distance communication equipment to exchange information."

But just half an hour ago, at the time we agreed to contact Dongzhou City today, we waited and waited, but still received no news from Dongzhou City. We took the initiative to contact them, but the communication channel was only silent, with no one answering.

Afterwards, we immediately increased the power of our communication equipment and sent messages to all devices in Dongzhou City and its surrounding areas that could receive information.

However, those messages fell on deaf ears, with no response. In desperation, we urgently called your office."

After hearing these words, Zhan Wushuang's heart skipped a beat. He keenly realized that something major must have happened in Dongzhou.

Her heart beat wildly. She pondered for a moment, took a deep breath, and tried to calm her chaotic thoughts. Then, she asked tentatively, "Have you tried to contact the districts farther away from Dongzhou City?"

The person in charge immediately responded, "We've contacted all the districts within 200 kilometers of Dongzhou City, but haven't received any response. The area is like a dead silence."

Zhan Wushuang frowned, then decisively ordered: "Adjust the power of the communication equipment to the maximum and expand the receiving and sending range as much as possible.

Even a devastating disaster like the one in Dongzhou City would leave no trace. Even a demonic beast at the Tianxuan Realm wouldn't be able to completely wipe out a city!

Upon hearing this, the person in charge did not immediately agree. Instead, he frowned slightly and hesitated for a moment before asking with some hesitation, "Um...should we report this to Minister Zhan?"

Zhan Wushuang looked calm, suppressing a hint of nervousness in his heart, and said in a steady and indifferent voice: "Today is the centenary year, Minister Zhan is very busy, and there are many important matters that need to be handled by him. It is really not appropriate to disturb him with this matter.

I will report to him once we have the results. You just need to do as I say."

Now the situation in Dongzhou City has changed suddenly, and a huge crisis is looming like a dark cloud.

At this critical moment, the news that Zhan Tianqiong is not in Zhongzhou City must not leak out at all.

Once this news leaks out, Zhongzhou City will fall into chaos with no leader. The situation will inevitably get out of control and the consequences will be like a broken dam, which will be out of control.

The general manager no longer hesitated when he heard Zhan Wushuang's order. He hurried back to his seat, quickly summoned his men, and arranged them to carry out the orders issued by Zhan Wushuang in an orderly manner.

However, the Dongzhou Command Group's action had not lasted long when a cry of surprise was heard from the command group responsible for Qitian Pass.

A team member pointed to the surveillance screen on the wall and said anxiously, "Outside Qitian Pass, there are suspected traces of monsters!"

When Zhan Wushuang heard this, his heart suddenly sank and his eyes instantly turned to the surveillance screen.

At the end of the screen, a dark shadow quietly descended from the summit of a towering mountain, more than ten kilometers away. The towering mountain, beneath the shadow, seemed like an insignificant stone, small and humble.

"This... this is a demonic beast!" a staff member's voice trembled with fear. "That mountain looks at least one or two thousand meters high, right? But the figure standing on it seems even larger than the mountain! I've never seen such a huge demonic beast!"

Zhan Wushuang's eyes instantly became sharp, and he ordered without hesitation: "Quick, zoom in!"

As the black shadow on the screen continued to expand and enlarge, everyone finally saw clearly that an extremely huge Peng bird was standing steadily on the top of the mountain.

It resembled a towering black mountain, emitting a chilling aura. Its eyes, like copper bells, stared directly into the camera, its icy gaze seemingly piercing the screen and reaching into the heart.

Everyone in the command center felt a chill running from the soles of their feet to their foreheads, and a chill spread through their hearts, and they couldn't help but gasp.

Everyone was still immersed in the captivating gaze of the giant roc, and before they could come to their senses, they saw the giant roc's eyes narrowed slightly, as if an invisible sharp blade was passing by.

Instantly, the surveillance footage began to shake violently, and then the image on the screen disappeared, replaced by a dancing snowflake. Clearly, the camera had been destroyed by the terrifying Kunpeng.

This sudden change sent the command room into a frenzy. Frightened expressions appeared on everyone's faces, and whispers erupted.

"What kind of monster is this? I have never heard of a monster that is more than a thousand meters in size. This monster is probably almost two thousand meters tall!" A trembling voice said in shock.

"Tianxuan Realm! This must be a monster from the Tianxuan Realm! There is another monster from the Tianxuan Realm, what should we do!" Another person's voice was full of worry.

"That's right. Generally speaking, when a monster's body size exceeds one kilometer, it will enter the Tianji realm, and its body size mostly remains at just over one kilometer. If this monster really reaches the Tianxuan realm, can our Qitian Pass still be defended?" Someone raised the key question with a worried look.

After seeing the black shadow clearly, the command room became a complete mess, just like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, causing a thousand waves.

The noises rose and fell, and all kinds of speculations were like chaotic notes, intertwined with the spreading panic, making the entire command room a mess.

However, the one who was most shocked was Zhan Wushuang. While others might have simply fallen into panic and speculation, Zhan Wushuang recognized the identity of the monster.

Before this, the information brought by Feng Zizai emerged in his mind, among which the records about the ten ancient demon generals were particularly profound.

At this moment, the monster in front of him was none other than Kunpeng, the most powerful of the ten ancient monster generals!

"Even Kunpeng has shown up at Qitian Pass. What is the current situation in Beizhou and Hanzhou..." Zhan Wushuang thought to herself. The first thing that flashed through her mind was not whether Qitian Pass could withstand Kunpeng's fierce attack, but Zhan Tianqiong who was heading to Beizhou, Nian Zhongsheng who was keeping an appointment in Hanzhou, and the safety of the entire Beizhou.

Thinking of this, her brows furrowed, her heart in a mess. The chattering of everyone in the command room was like the noisy chirping of cicadas, which made her even more upset at this tense moment. The sound was like a needle, pricking her already tense nerves.

Finally, she could no longer bear the chaos, her eyes widened, and she roared like thunder: "Shut up, everyone!!"

Zhan Wushuang's eyebrows were raised, his eyes were wide open, and his anger spread like a surging tide. The originally noisy room suddenly became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop, as if even the air had frozen.

Zhan Wushuang tried hard to calm himself down, took a deep breath, and tried to calm his turbulent mood.

Just as she was about to speak, a staff member from the Northern State Command, perhaps frightened by the atmosphere in the room or the news he had just received, timidly broke the silence, his voice trembling noticeably.

That voice, like the merciless whisper of fate, confirmed the faint worry in Zhan Wushuang's heart: "Zhan... Secretary Zhan, Bei... Beizhou City has just received an urgent report that a demonic beast from the Tianxuan Realm has invaded. Please ask Tianshu Pavilion to send support as soon as possible!"
