The Return of Stars to the Jianghu

"Without a plan, we can only find the right people and then talk about it," Lin Hai said to Nie Ri on the other end of the line, picking up the satellite phone.

The nine-story pagoda in the Emei Mountain area was quiet. There was a brief silence on the other end of the phone, then the voice continued, "Lin Hai, do you have any leads?"

"Three days ago, Tang Clan leader Li Chao said that if he could meet Luo Yifei, he would send someone to take him to meet Ding Wenyuan of Wu Kingdom. It is said that he has clues about Shen Lixi and his group."

"Could you tell us more about the two people you just mentioned?" Nie Ri's voice came through the satellite phone after another ten seconds or so.

"By the way, Lao Nie, are Shen Cheng and Luo Yan here?"

"Here I am."

"Don't worry, as long as we find them, I will make sure they return alive."

"it is good."

"The Tang Clan is the largest sect in the Tang Kingdom, with numerous disciples and followers not limited to Tang. They are skilled in crafting various hidden weapons, which, when combined with internal energy, produce astonishing effects. They also have a dedicated team on the battlefield specializing in hidden weapons. The Tang Clan's leader, Li Chao, is not only a hidden weapon expert but also a martial arts prodigy. Rumor has it that he is the half-brother of Jiang Yuqing, the ruler of the Tang Kingdom. His words can be trusted. Ding Wenyuan, on the other hand, is the Northwest Military Governor of the Wu Kingdom, an even more important figure. He is renowned in the martial arts world for being able to hold off an entire army single-handedly, and is said to be a grandmaster of martial arts. It is said that he receives the fastest and most complete information in the martial arts world, so perhaps he really does have news." Lin Hai used the simplest introduction to allow people on Earth to understand the two people from the Floating Life Continent.

“Then let’s go directly to Wu and find Ding Wenyuan,” Wan Li said excitedly, like a young man, not at all like a middle-aged man.

In contrast, Ye Xuehan and Nan Tian remained calm and composed, with no change in their expressions or faces.

"Let's settle down and rest for a bit, and get some things ready. I'll have Lin Lei lead the way, and we'll go to the Wu Kingdom together," Lin Hai said to Wan Li with a smile.

……

In the northern part of the Liang Kingdom on the Floating Continent, the territory of the Liao Kingdom, which was conquered more than ten years ago, has now been occupied by the Liao army.

"Where are you from?" Shen Lixi asked, lost in thought as she looked at the man who called himself Wen Bin.

He'd been through so much in the past four years that he was used to it all. He had a rough idea of ​​what was going on, but he still wanted to test it out.

"The mortal world, or rather, the Earth you are familiar with." The words spoken by the man dressed as a Liang soldier kneeling on the ground were clearly heard by the strategist and general sitting in the room.

"Nonsense! I, Hu Hanhui, have fought on the battlefield for over a decade, and I still can't see what kind of person you are. You're just a clown from Liang Kingdom; and you want to use some kind of psychological warfare like you did over a decade ago?" The general reacted before Shen Lixi could.

"Where are you from?" Shen Lixi continued to ask.

“More distant galaxies.” Wen Bin, dressed as a soldier in the military tent, said the same thing as Wen Bin, dressed as a programmer on Earth.

"How far away? The Immortal Realm or the God Realm? The Cultivation Realm or the Realm of Immortality?"

“Further.” The Liang soldier who called himself Wen Bin tried to stand up, but was pressed down by the Liao guards.

"The Purple Star Domain, the Super God Star Domain, the Fighter Star Domain, or the Bliss Star Domain?" Shen Lixi remained calm.

"A place that humans and their derivative races have never reached. A place you don't know or have never even heard of. Stop guessing and let's get down to business." Liang soldier Wen Bin seemed to have used all his strength to stand up.

The two Liao guards beside him tried to press him down again, but failed. The old general named Hu Hanhuijiang, who was sitting in the main seat, waved his hand, and the two Liao guards released him.

Shen Lixi stared intently at Wen Bin, hoping to read his thoughts through magic, but to no avail.

"Go ahead and speak." Shen Lixi realized that he was no match for this mysterious man named Wen Bin, but he also guessed that this soldier was probably just an avatar or a lingering remnant. His three years of traveling through the Immortal Realm star field had taught him many things that defied the laws of Earth's physics, and he was no longer surprised by anything bizarre.

"Three years in the Immortal Realm, one year on the Floating Life Continent, and you've been away from Earth for four years. I have three pieces of news for you. To make a long story short, General Hu can't hold back any longer; he's about to behead me." Wen Bin said, rubbing his neck. "First news: Luo Yifei came to the Floating Life Continent to find you. It's been almost two months. He's currently in the Tang Kingdom and should be heading to the northwest of the Wu Kingdom soon. Second news: Ye Xuehan, Nan Tian, ​​and Wan Li just arrived on the Floating Life Continent to find you and Luo Yifei. Under the arrangement of the Tang Sect Master, they should also be heading to the northwest of the Wu Kingdom. Third news: Su An is also looking for you. He should be arriving on the Floating Life Continent soon. It's the passage you used last year; it's been activated now."

There was a brief silence.

"Are you done talking?" Hu Hanhui asked.

"That's all." Wen Bin nodded with a smile.

"Military Advisor Shen, is there anything else you want to ask?" Hu Hanhui asked Shen Lixi, who was standing next to him.

"If I ask, will you answer?" Shen Lixi turned to ask Wen Bin, who was standing there.

"No," Wen Bin replied with a smile, a smile that finally brought to mind the Wen Bin dressed as a programmer in the deserted island café on Earth.

“Then there’s no problem.” Shen Lixi looked at General Hu.

"Report..." At this moment, the voice of a guard rang out from outside the tent.

"Come in," General Hu said.

"General, we've found out this person's identity," the guard said, glancing at Wen Bin standing beside him.

"Speak," General Hu instructed the guard to continue.

"This man is now a soldier under Xie Dukai of the Liang Kingdom's Northern Army, and a former subordinate of Xu Guan of the Liang Kingdom's Southern Army. His name is Jiang Jianyong, and he is a spy planted by Xu Guan in the Liang Kingdom's Northern Army." The guard finished recounting the intelligence.

“That’s right, this body is indeed Jianyong’s. Xu Guan has arranged too many people in the Northern Army. I just happened to choose it because it was the vanguard and the closest to you.” Wen Bin’s smile remained gentle, which contrasted sharply with his words.

"Drag him out and behead him," General Hu ordered.

"Yes, sir." The guard dragged Wen Bin down, and in that instant his body went limp, and the light in his eyes disappeared.

"Wait, hang your head on the city gate."
