The Return of Stars to the Jianghu

Solar System, Mars Outpost.

Lin Hai's call with Captain Zhang was connected. After listening to their conversation, Du Qi felt as if he had been turned into a wiretap operator.

However, the AI ​​Xiaoxing did not block the call, indicating that the content of the call between the two people was within its own permission range.

He had a vague feeling that the AI ​​had deliberately let him hear it, and it was a chilling thought that he dared not think about it any further.

"Hey, Du Qi, come to the lobby for a moment. We need to have an emergency meeting. We're just waiting for you." Nie Qiuyue's voice came through the microphone.

After listening, Du Qi walked towards the conference room.

……

On the Floating Continent, at Huangjue Temple in the Tang Dynasty.

The call is connected.

"The situation is more complicated than it was four years ago. Find a way to come back as soon as possible," Luo Yan's voice came from the other end of the phone.

“I guessed it. The time tunnel doesn’t just lead to Earth, but also to two other worlds,” Luo Yifei told his father, sharing his guess.

The person on the other end of the phone said there would be a longer interval. Luo Yan, who was on Earth, paused for a moment and said, "That's right, the Phoenix Team has disbanded and a new Phoenix Society has been established, bringing together talents from all walks of life to deal with this matter. How are things on your end? Where are you?"

"I'm going to Huangjue Temple on the outskirts of the Tang capital. I'll be heading north to Wu tomorrow to find Mr. Ding," Luo Yifei answered truthfully.

"Okay, be careful. Ye Xuehan, Nantian, and Uncle Wanli have gone to look for you. They'll be going too..."

The voice on the other end of the phone stopped abruptly; the phone and power bank had run out of power.

How wonderful it would be to have a phone that doesn't need charging!

Luo Yifei sighed and helplessly packed everything into his bag.

Then he lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

……

Solar System, Mars Outpost.

After finishing the meeting, Du Qi returned to the communications room.

The AI's voice came through the speaker, "Du Qi, a call came in when you left. It has been automatically transferred to you. The recording is as follows."

"This is the Mars outpost, I am communications officer Du Qi..."

"You're using my voice to make a call?" Du Qi questioned.

"Yes, you did not read the agreement when you agreed to it, but it does state that I can automatically take over all calls when no one answers." AI Xiaoxing's tone was matter-of-fact.

“You…” Du Qi did not express his dissatisfaction.

The first thing I did when I arrived at the meeting was to inform everyone that we were accepting AI outsourcing.

The team leader received orders from the space agency.

"Is the order the captain received from the director real? Or is it something you're impersonating?" Du Qi asked AI Xiao Xing.

"Yes, I cannot act as an unauthorized person. You can read the authorization agreement carefully."

"Okay, please retrieve the agreement details for me."

……

On the floating continent, at the new site of the Red-Clothed Sect on Mount Emei.

Ye Xuehan looked at Nantian and said, "I have a bad feeling."

"Don't be afraid, I'm always here."

“No, I didn’t mean the Floating Life Continent. I meant…” Ye Xuehan paused.

"The Xuan Tian Continent?" Nan Tian asked softly.

"I hope Su An can also return to Earth safely."

……

Floating Continent, south of Free City, in the Black Forest.

Black Tiger led Ishikawa and his group deeper into the Black Forest.

The sunlight was dwindling, filtering only through the gaps in the trees, and unknown insects crawled on the ground.

"Young Master, aren't we here to find the Sleepless Clan? Do they live in a place like this?" the lieutenant couldn't help but ask Ishikawa.

This deputy general was named He Zhendong. He was originally just a supervisor, but he was promoted to deputy general of the vanguard team because he discovered the merits of the sleepless tribe's little boy.

"Legend has it that the Sleepless Clan lives in a paradise on earth, but it can only be reached by passing through a black mist. We are still far from our destination," Ishikawa said to his lieutenant. Before setting off, Shi Qingfeng had given him a letter detailing everything that humans knew about the Sleepless Clan.

……

On this floating continent, in the southern seas, I long for your return to the island.

Dugu Xin disembarked at the safe harbor of Wangjungui Island.

Many fishing boats were docked in the port, indicating that people had lived there not long ago.

Upon arriving on the island, Dugu Xin entered several houses and found them empty; most of the useful items had been looted.

After searching for a while without finding anything new, Dugu Xin returned to the fishing boats in the harbor. He discovered that there were still leftover food items inside several of the fishing boats.

Dugu Xin searched all the fishing boats carefully and finally found a pipe on a fishing boat in the corner. Only pirates would smoke this kind of pipe, fishermen would not smoke it.

This brings to mind the information we received not long ago—that Li Hongbo was on the pirate ship.

Dugu Xin gazed at the sea south of the island and fell into deep thought.

Further south lies the endless ocean. Legend has it that sea monsters live on the seabed in the southern part of the South China Sea.

A huge wave suddenly surged up on the calm sea, and a person leaped out of the water.

The man flew over on his sword and landed on the fishing boat where Dugu Xin was.

Dugu Xin stared wide-eyed at the man and exclaimed in surprise, "Long Haocheng, you're actually still alive!"

"That's right. I have already advanced to the first rank, and my primary goal is to go to the Immortal Realm as soon as possible. There is no need for me to play house with those fools anymore."

"You, as the ruler of the state, actually faked your death to escape, completely disregarding the fact that the state of Qi has been divided up by other states."

"Hmph, so what? Chu Ji made his move too. The alliance isn't something that can be broken off just like that. I didn't come here to talk about this. There's something strange going on underwater. There's a cloud of light moving up and down. When it moves to the surface, any ship that crosses the surface will disappear and go to another world."

Dugu Xin was surprised and wanted to ask something, but he didn't know where to begin.

“Shadow and Li Hongbo have both gone to other worlds, you don’t need to look for them anymore. Go back and tell Chu Ji that the seal on the seabed is about to break, and if a way to seal it can’t be found, everyone on the Floating Life Continent will die.” Long Haocheng had just finished speaking when the calm sea began to ripple again.
