Chapter 406 The Eternal Night in Eastern Europe
The dazzling fire flames burned the night sky. The scaring screams spread out in the night. There were flashing police lights on both sides of the road. The dense silhouettes were everywhere. The firemen were busy extinguishing the flames. Dark smoke was rising. The former luxurious and exquisite manor here had been turned into ruins. The flesh-and-blood corpses were scattered randomly on the ground and were carried away by doctors and nurses in white. In the cold and serious atmosphere, the master of the Holy List Jiang Qiannian, code-named as Black Hand in the Dark World, looked at this scene with a sad expression and did not say anything for a long time.
The obese policeman stood next to Jiang Qiannian with a serious face, and chattered about something. In the manor that had become a ruin, he found out a large number of weapons, and even a lot of heavy weapons. The murder had struck here with the most ferocious methods at the fastest speed.
Everything was short.
It was like fighting and a ma.s.sacre too.
In less than three minutes, dense gunshots sounded in the night and the roar of bombs rang through half of the city. The blood burst out in chaos and the elites of the Jiang family of South America were destroyed, shattered by absolute violence. When the fire broke out, the battle was over.
This scene immediately made the local police alert as if seeing an enemy.
A middle-level person in charge of the national security department also came to the manor with the police. At the moment, the two stood in front of Jiang Qiannian and asked all the questions that they thought they could find clues about.
Such as the origin of weapons in the manor.
For example, the motive of the Jiang family of South America for staying here.
For example, did Jiang Qiannian offend someone?
Maybe the raid on the manor was made by the Snow Country Black Hand Party…
Jiang Qiannian frowned tightly. His body no longer trembled, but the irritability and disgust between the eyebrows could not be covered up. Finally, when the obese policeman chief proposed that Jiang Qiannian must give an account, Jiang Qiannian could not help but yank his fat body and kick out the middle-level official of the national security department.
“Don’t mess with me, fat pig. I’m a guest here, not a prisoner. I hope you figure out your duties.”
Jiang Qiannian endured his inner killing intentions, slowly put down the policeman, and said coldly, “Take your people and get out now!”
All the policemen nearby were in an uproar.
The director who was no longer young coughed hard, and was furiously planning to order to seize the mob in front of him. A group of mysterious people in uniform black suits had entered the scene.
There were eight people in black suits, surrounding a middle-aged man in sportswear.
The middle-aged man glanced at the embarra.s.sed policeman chief, frowned slightly, and casually waved.
The policeman chief, who was also a real figure in this city, did not dare to speak. He did not care about any dignity. He retreated back with a smile and took away all the policemen nearby.
“I’m sorry about that.”
The middle-aged man walked to Jiang Qiannian and helplessly touched his big nose. “It happened very suddenly, so I have no time to support here, Mr. Jiang. I hope you can understand me.”
Jiang Qiannian reluctantly controlled his expression. His eyes got eased a little. Then he calmly said, “It’s okay. It’s just a pity that your favorite manor was ruined, Mr. Rekvia. I will compensate you for the loss.”
Rekvia was not a name.
In Eastern Europe, this was an absolutely prominent surname, representing a top giant in Eastern Europe.
Perhaps in the whole of Europe, the Rekvia family was not as good as the Morton family and the Violet family, but at least in the land of Eastern Europe, Rekvia’s authority was not worse than anyone. It was the largest family in Wulan State and could even be said to be the only wealthy family. In Wulan State, the second largest European country, the word Rekvia was almost synonymous with supremacy.
After the collapse of the Polar Ground Alliance, the superpowers of the Dark World had entered Eastern Europe.
Some looked for partners on the spot after entering Eastern Europe.
Some dark forces had had partners before entering Eastern Europe.
The Rekvia family was the strongest ally of the Jiang family of South America in Eastern Europe.
Therefore, a considerable part of the elites of the Jiang family of South America was concentrated in Wulan State. Just in the capital city of Wulan State, Recchi City, there were nearly 800 elites.
This manor was where the Rekvia family provided the Jiang family of South America to house their own people. Nearly two hundred elites lived here. These people entered Wulan State two days ago and had not even played a role in the chaos in Eastern Europe. Then they were wiped out by this raid tonight.
The key was…
These two hundred people, within the Jiang family of South America, were considered to be direct descendants of the Jiang Qiannian family!
“It’s nothing more than a property.”
The contemporary patriarch of the Rekvia family smiled calmly, then narrowed his eyes and said, “I’m just curious, who dares to come to the city of Recchi City and fight against the Rekvia family? Mr. Jiang, do you have any clues?”
This raid was like a coincidence and a deliberate attempt.
Today, Jiang Qiannian went to the Rekvia family to partic.i.p.ate in the dinner. But while he was still on the road, the manor was attacked. What was more embarra.s.sing was that Jiang Qiannian started from here to attend the dinner. When the attack happened, Jiang Qiannian had just left here for less than twenty minutes.
“They’re from Zhongzhou State.”
Jiang Qiannian gritted his teeth and said with his cold eyes, “Sigh City!”
…
Sigh City was a world-famous city of a.s.sa.s.sins.
The a.s.sa.s.sin’s way was not always being deceitful.
Especially for the strong, the top a.s.sa.s.sins had the unique calmness and quality of being domineering.
When Tribulation drove the car out of Recchi City, Situ Cangyue had stood at their original location and waited for a long time.
In the pitch-dark night, she was dressed in a white dress and her hair was blown away by the wind. When looked at in a blur, she was illusional like a shadow.
Tribulation stopped the car next to her.
Situ Cangyue sat in the car, silent.
The vehicle started again.
In a proper speed, Tribulation suddenly coughed violently. This cough was dull and hoa.r.s.e. The coughing frequency was not quick, but it sounded deep. It sounded ear-piercing.
Situ Cangyue said, “I’ll drive.”
…
Tribulation shook his head, waved his hand, and reluctantly said, “No need.”
He coughed for a while, straightened up, wiped the blood on the corner of his mouth, and remained silent for a long time.
“There was an accident tonight.”
After a long time, Tribulation said quietly.
Situ Cangyue, who had been watching his brother’s face, answered in a low voice but did not say much.
Tonight the division of labor between the two was clear. Situ Cangyue’s goal was a manor in the south of Recchi City, and the target of Tribulation was a club in the north of the city.
Situ Cangyue’s Uselessness in Heaven and Earth almost completely wiped out the entire manor. She waited for a long time after completing the task. Then she saw Tribulation come over. Needless to say, she knew that something unexpected had happened tonight.
Situ Cangyue frowned and asked, “Can you still control your injury?”
…
Tribulation was the only killer of the Invincible Realm in the Dark World today.
Many people knew this.
Very few people knew that Tribulation’s injuries had never healed since he had broken through in Heaven Capital.
From the Qi-controlling Realm to the Ice-condensing Realm, the Fire-flaming Realm, the Thunder-shocking Realm, and the Invincible Realm, this Martial Arts road was steep and violent. Tribulation proved the feasibility of this road and the strength of it.
Tribulation was strong now.
He walked on this road to the end. If the injury was not taken into account, the true combat capability of Tribulation would far surpa.s.s that of Situ Cangyue. There was a complete possibility for him to be ranked among the top ten in the Divine List, or even close to the top five of the Divine List.
…
…
Not mention to the top five of the Divine List, as long as he could enter the Divine List, Tribulation could be regarded as the only killer of the Invincible Realm who had entered the Divine List in the Dark World in nearly a century.
But Tribulation’s original breakthrough was too intense, leaving him a heavy injury that almost could not be healed.
It had been more than three years since the decisive battle in Heaven Capital, but Tribulation with horrific fighting power had not yet succeeded in stabilizing his own realm.
His realm suddenly went up and down, and sometimes fell into the Invincible Realm. Regardless of his own feelings, even his elder sister Situ Cangyue was worried about him.
Tribulation was indeed very strong now, but the strength he could play today was at most only equivalent to the strength when he had not broken through, and even slightly less. His injuries and physical body completely limited his strength.
Such a breakthrough might not even be better than a non-breakthrough.
“There is still a chance.”
Tribulation flatly said, “Jade Seal is still in my hands.”
“Jade Seal, Jade Seal…”
Situ Cangyue sneered and said, “Without the Jade Seal that Tianlan gave you, it is unknown whether you can live until now. Judging from your current injury, Jade Seal can only save your life at most.”
Tribulation was silent.
“I’m thinking about it.”
It was a long time before he spoke slowly.
“It’s time to make up your mind. You still have a chance at your current age.” Situ Cangyue said.
…
Tribulation did not speak.
He knew what it meant to make up his mind.
His current problem was difficult to solve. But in essence, it was very simple.
The power of the Invincible Realm was very strong.
He went straight from the Qi-controlling Realm to the Invincible Realm. This breakthrough was too fierce. Although he was lucky to make it, the huge power of the Invincible Realm almost overwhelmed Tribulation’s body.
In a word, because of his injuries, his current body could not bear the power of the Invincible Realm.
As long as this power was still there, his injury could not be recovered.
This matter was difficult to solve, or difficult to solve perfectly.
At present, the only possibility for Tribulation was to choose to fall to a lower realm.
The term might be barely acceptable to others.
But how cruel was it to Tribulation?
Other masters of the Invincible Realm fell to a lower realm. The worst result for them was being masters of the Half-step Invincible Realm.
If Tribulation chose to leave the Invincible Realm…
He did not fall into the Ice-condensing Realm, the Fire-flaming Realm, or the Thunder-shocking Realm.
Once falling, he entered to the Qi-controlling Realm.
Who could accept this fact?
“Anyway, we must wait for the decisive battle in Snow Country.”
Tribulation whispered, “Before the final battle, I try to take as few shots as possible. In my current state, there are not many opportunities to take action. I want to use them at critical moments.”
Situ Cangyue agreed and said, “Tonight, we struck at the Jiang family of South America and then gave Zhongzhou State an account. We have fulfilled our responsibility. What are your plans next?”
“Do it as planned.”
Tribulation said, “Go to Snow Country.”
Situ Cangyue glanced at him.
Tribulation seemed to realize something and changed his words. “Go to Mormans and gather with her.”
Mormans was a city in Snow Country.
To Mormans was to go to Snow Country.
But Tribulation’s tone was calm. He seemed to emphasize something.
Situ Cangyue was silent for a while and asked suddenly, “Don’t you go and see?”
…
Tribulation calmly stared at the road ahead in the night.
The scenery on both sides of the road quickly receded as the vehicle advanced.
Its speed kept rising.
The sound of Tribulation was smooth without any slight fluctuations. “What’s so nice about it?”
“You want to see it, so naturally it’s nice.”
“I do not want to see.”
“You do not want to see?”
“I do not want to see.”
The car suddenly became silent.
Only the sound of the engine was roaring. In just a few words, the car had reached the limit unconsciously under the control of Tribulation.
“She helped you a lot.”
Situ Cangyue said calmly, “You went up from the Qi-controlling Realm all the way back then. You encountered a lot of problems. The most critical problem was if it were not for her help, you might have been stuck there.”
“I saved her life.”
Tribulation said briefly, “That’s how she repaid me for it.”
“That was the only mission you failed. If you weren’t emotional, why would you give up the mission to save her?”
Situ Cangyue chuckled.
The corner of Tribulation’s mouth twitched and his eyes were cold.
“Go and see.”
Situ Cangyue expressed her position. “I also want to see.”
“I won’t.”
Tribulation suddenly smiled. “It doesn’t make sense. It is not her. I don’t need to see her.”
“She’s not her.”
Situ Cangyue’s eyes were a little hesitant. “Well, he’s not him.”
She and he.
They were not him.
“If we can meet again…”
Situ Cangyue smiled at herself.
Tribulation said softly, “If we can meet, it’s best for us not to be enemies.”
…
This sentence was very clear. Because it was clear, it was cruel.
It was the best not to be enemies.
If there was an enemy of life and death, what was the point of being the best?
Tribulation looked forward. His eyes were dizzy and calm.
Dizziness and calmness constantly alternated.
The corner of his mouth was raised, and his smile was a little complicated.
“You are not willing.” Situ Cangyue said calmly.
…
“So what if I am unwilling?”
Tribulation whispered, “I didn’t take her away when she was still Holy Punishment Priest. What can I do now? In fact, I realized that I had the power to take her away, but I didn’t have that kind of will. She would not follow me. I was an a.s.sa.s.sin and she was a priest. Now I am a king among the killers, and she is the Holy Virgin of the Vatican. At the departure back then, we knew that she could only be Holy Virgin, never Mrs. Situ.”
So in the darkness of that year.
It was the young man named Situ Wanjie who was immersed in the killing shadow most thoroughly.
He became a pure one, Tribulation.
…
Regardless of willingness, there would be many first-time experiences in life.
Many of them might be against their will for the first time, but strictly speaking, they were not difficult.
Because there was no other choice.
But life was the hardest if one had no choice but to repeat it.
The afterglow of the polar day was getting darker.
In the soft daylight, Li Xi stood in front of the window of a Jiali State Hotel and looked at the bustling scene of the outside world. Her eyes became duller and duller.
She feared the repet.i.tion of fate and choice.
But the purpose of her trip was to repeat.
It was to repeatedly kill one person, kill two people.
It was to repeatedly kill people she did not want to kill.
She repeatedly killed people she had tried to kill.
This feeling was a torture.
But after a torture became a habit, it became numb and icy coldness and exhaustion.
Exhaustion became eager.
The eagerness to end it all.
She just wanted to end it.
It did not matter how it ended, as long as it was ended.
…
In the night full of daylight, Li Xi turned and took out her mobile phone and made a phone call.
The call was quickly connected.
A calm and cautious voice sounded. “h.e.l.lo?”
Li Xi held the phone and said briefly, “This is Li Xi.”
…
The phone was silent for a while.
Li Xi had been silent for so long that everyone outside Kunlun City seemed to have forgotten her existence.
It took a long time for the voice on the phone to sound again. “h.e.l.lo, Madam, may I ask where you are now…”
Li Xi calmly said, “I’m at the Oga Hotel. I like it very much. You don’t need to pick me up.”
…
The man on the phone was silent for a while before saying gently, “Okay, Madam.”
Li Xi quietly held the phone and remained silent for a while, then calmly said, “Is there any news about Purgatory of Heaven Capital?”
“It is currently under investigation. But it is certain that Daybreak and Dawn of Purgatory of Heaven Capital have entered Eastern Europe. We are not yet able to track down the whereabouts of Deity.”
On the phone, the man’s voice was cautious.
“Keep checking.”
Li Xi said faintly, “The only thing you need to do during the chaos in Eastern Europe is to check the whereabouts of Deity of Purgatory of Heaven Capital.”
“OK.” The man answered calmly.
…
Li Xi hung up in silence and sat on the bed.
The bed was soft.
But the more p.r.o.nounced exhaustion wrapped her like a tide, with a suffocating sense of oppression.
Li Xi closed her eyes and fell to the bed.
She did not want to be sorry for the Li family.
But in the end, she stabbed him with a sword, and hit the key points of the entire Li family.
She did not want to help Gu Xingyun now.
But because of Li Qingcheng, she had to come to Eastern Europe.
She had been silent for most of her life.
But when she needed to do something, fate always pushed her body and her in the opposite direction of her will.
She was tired of such a life and spurned the world.
So this time, she obeyed Gu Xingyun’s order. But she did not intend to fully obey Gu Xingyun’s order.
The sky in Kunlun City was too cold.
Gu Xingyun’s face was too disgusting.
In Eastern Europe in snow and ice, she really had the thought to end it all.
She could not resist Gu Xingyun.
But she had no plan to fight for Kunlun City’s interests in Eastern Europe.
…
In this cool and quiet place, if she could drag the man on the road, whether he was now called Deity or Li Kuangtu, for her, it was the best result.
…
Eastern Europe.
Eyme.
At 2 o’clock in the morning, a flight from Zhongzhou State to Snow Country successfully landed at the Capital Airport after a connecting flight from Snow Country to Eyme.
The Capital Airport was completely martialized a day ago.
All flights were canceled.
Martial law continued from the early morning of the previous day to today. Now the entire Eyme authority seemed to be quietly waiting for the special plane to land.
Lieutenant General Cheng Huining, the new commander of the Arctic Ocean Command in Zhongzhou State, stood at the airport in a suit and stood upright. He was still calm even if surrounded by a group of senior officials from Eyme.
Eyme officials attached great importance to the pick-up. They not only agreed that the order of the airport was maintained by Zhongzhou State Garrison, but also had dispatched Eyme’s Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Tres in person to lead a large team that was comparable to the foreign inspection team for the pick-up.
The huge plane slid on the runway, roaring from far to near.
Cheng Huining glanced at the plane and Eyme’s Foreign Minister Tres and said with a smile, “His Highness, they are transiting from Snow Country. There are some problems with Snow Country side, which has delayed the flight. If there are no accidents this time, when His Highness returns, maybe Zhongzhou State will consider establishing a direct route from Zhongzhou State to Eyme. We’ll ask for your support, Prime Minister.”
A direct flight from Zhongzhou State to Eyme…
Tres was stunned, then became ecstatic, and nodded in a hurry. “Of course, of course, I’ll support it. General Cheng, I personally look forward to Zhongzhou State very much and I am willing to urge the government to strengthen the bilateral relationship between Eyme and Zhongzhou State.”
Cheng Huining nodded with a smile.
Once the direct route from Zhongzhou State to Eyme was established, Zhongzhou State would benefit. But the Eyme government would benefit the most.
Eyme had no reason not to agree.
The support he said was undoubtedly not the support on the air routes, but the position and performance of Eyme in the current chaos in Eastern Europe.
Some time ago, the President of Eyme personally met Jiang Qiannian of the Jiang family of South America. Although he was still friendly to Zhongzhou State, people could still see that his att.i.tude had gradually swayed. Cheng Huining arrived at Arctic Ocean Command and naturally did not want to see this. Eyme was one of the garrison locations of Arctic Ocean Command. If it went for the Jiang family of South America, it would not only be a trouble for him, but also made him lose face.
The plane stopped slowly.
The cabin was open.
The ramp descended.
In silence, one after another, officers of Zhongzhou State Special Warfare System in uniforms stepped off the plane.
Dark green military uniforms occupied the vision of a large number of senior Eyme officials.
Cheng Huining straightened his body subconsciously.
A large number of senior officials from both the military and political sides of Eyme also widened their eyes.
They all knew a name.
The name now meant the strongest among the younger generation in the Dark World.
Everyone wanted to see the young Chosen One.
Officers appeared one after another.
They appeared either st.u.r.dy, quiet, calm, or wild.
Tres, the leader of the officials in Eyme, was dazzled.
A young man in the same military uniform finally came out of the cabin.
Tres glanced randomly and ignored him, still looking for the legendary young Marshal of Zhongzhou State.
Cheng Huining straightened his body the first time.
He saluted.
Near the airport, all Zhongzhou State Garrison people stood saluting at the same time.
“Lieutenant General of Arctic Ocean Command in Zhongzhou State, Cheng Huining, is here for His Highness.”
Cheng Huining’s steady and loud voice sounded through the airport.
Tres was startled, and his gaze shifted subconsciously to the young man.
Then he saw there.
Then he looked back.
That really was an ordinary young man who could not be more ordinary.
…
Although that marshal’s military uniform was conspicuous, people still couldn’t help but ignore his existence.
He clearly stood there.
But it felt as if one did not notice him at all.
The young man slowly descended the ramp and raised his hand in return.
He walked like a transparent shadow, illusory and impa.s.sive.
But the moment he raised his hand, the entire airport suddenly became extremely real.
He stood there saluting silently, but the illusional feeling that he gave people to neglect him just disappeared completely.
The lights of the airport shone on his uniform and badges.
They were shining.
“General Ning.”
Li Tianlan lowered his arm, held Cheng Huining’s palm, and said with a chuckle, “Thank you for your hard work.”
Today was late at night on August 7 in Eastern Europe.
…
In the attention of all the dark forces around the world, Snowdance Corps of Zhongzhou State arrived.
…
…
The sun’s rays grew dim and faint.
Sunlight was falling.
In Mormans’ manor, Qin Weibai, who had returned from Baiyu State, wore a coat and stood quietly at the top of the villa. She looked at the flowers in the entire manor.
The flowers were in full violation of the season and the temperature, in full bloom in a million colors. It was full of vitality everywhere.
Qin Weibai watched quietly, expressionless.
“In fact, it looks good. Although it is a bit messy, it is much better than before.”
Lin Fengting’s voice sounded beside Qin Weibai. He said with a smile, “You don’t like it?”
Qin Weibai said softly, “I hate being cheated.”
…
Death Replacer was not Death Replacer.
What she left for Li Tianlan was Secular Love.
When she returned to the manor and saw the flowers in the garden, Qin Weibai knew what had happened.
But Xuan Xuanzi was gone after doing all this.
As for the two senior brothers.
In Xuan Xuanzi’s statement, they were all traveling, and could not be connected.
So this vitality was here to stay, and it could no longer be erased.
“Only by staying alive can you have the right to hate anything.”
Lin Fengting whispered softly, “This is good, really good.”
“Maybe.” Qin Weibai took a deep breath and whispered softly.
…
“Xuanyuan Sword is already on the way to Eastern Europe. In order to avoid attracting attention, they will come in batches. They will all arrive at Mormans in about a week or so. What arrangements do you have?” Lin Fengting asked.
…
Qin Weibai thought about it and slowly shook her head. “No, just stay here.”
“Stay here?”
Lin Fengting was a little bit confused.
Qin Weibai agreed in a low voice.
“Chaos in Eastern Europe…”
Lin Fengting frowned.
“The chaos must be a decisive battle in the end.”
Qin Weibai whispered softly, “No matter where you go, the decisive battle can only be in Mormans, not elsewhere. In the impression of outsiders, Samsara Palace has collapsed, and I will wait for them here to surprise everyone.”
She looked at Lin Fengting. “Sir, you seem to have forgotten it. I said this would be a place of the decisive battle.”
“Here…”
Lin Fengting looked at Qin Weibai. “What’s special here?”
“In Eastern Europe, here is the most special.”
Qin Weibai laughed. “Sir, you can regard it as a base here, a base set up by Samsara Palace. In Mormans, Samsara Palace owned not just a manor. But there were some things that had to wait until the decisive battle.”
Lin Fengting looked at Qin Weibai. It was a long time before he nodded. “I’ll wait and see.”
Qin Weibai did not speak; he just looked up at the polar sun in the sky.
The polar sun sank slowly, and finally disappeared completely out of sight.
There was no day or night in the polar sun days. The sun would rise again at the moment of setting.
But today, the setting sun never appeared after setting.
Before Mormans’ lights were on, the polar sun disappeared.
…
A thick and deep night shrouded the whole world at once.
A tragic green light suddenly lit up in the dark sky as silent as a grave.
The light flashed in the sky, lighting up the night sky in numerous colors.
That was the most beautiful wonder in the world.
Aurora borealis.
Mormans’ temperature was falling.
The sky wind danced in the darkness.
The squall wind blew over, disrupting Qin Weibai’s tied hair.
She stood quietly, but her silk-alike hair suddenly flew under the laser extremely presumptuously.
Qin Weibai looked up, still staring at the night in the sky.
The aurora standing on the horizon flickered in her eyes.
Only darkness grew deeper.
The Eternal Night officially came.
