"For her? What do you mean?"
Xiao Zhan didn’t understand.
Then he said, "You should know about my relationship with her, right?"
"I know, just an ex-girlfriend."
"And you still came to me?"
"Your words, why does it sound like you still hold a grudge?" Su Mulan revealed a scolding expression, then glanced at Ye Youlong and said, "You already have such an excellent wife, haven’t you let go yet?"
She acted like she knew everything.
She had never even been in a relationship.
"Just say it, what’s the matter?" Xiao Zhan didn’t want to entangle with her too much.
Su Mulan was about to speak when suddenly the alarm sounded.
Hearing this sound, all the resting soldiers immediately went into battle preparations.
Su Mulan also knew this was the sound of a Demon Beast attack, she looked at Xiao Zhan, "Forget it, I’ll talk to you when there’s time, I’m going to help out now."
"Aren’t you going to fight the Demon Beasts?" Su Mulan asked in confusion when she saw Xiao Zhan standing still.
"I have more important things to do. You go, be careful not to get too close to the defensive line," Xiao Zhan instructed.
Su Mulan smiled, "Don’t worry, we’re just supporting, hiding behind, playing it sneaky."
Laughter followed, then she immediately ran towards the defensive line to help the soldiers fend off the Demon Beasts.
Xiao Zhan also turned around and quickly returned to Northern City to retrieve resources.
Soon, Xiao Zhan got the resources and then used a special passage to get outside of Northern City. Using the cover of the Death Aura, he safely returned to the Secret Realm.
Back in the Secret Realm.
He handed all the resources to Hose, and Hose immediately started building the defense line.
"What’s the situation with the Northern Bear?" Xiao Zhan asked.
Hose replied, "They can’t bother with us for now, they’ve also encountered a Demon Beast tide."
"I’ll leave the Secret Realm to you for now, I’m preparing to go back to Northern City."
"The Mulan Guild has sent people, the situation must be more serious than what’s seen."
Normally, the Federation’s higher-ups would not easily send help; now, without Ye Wudi’s request, they took the initiative to send people over, indicating they must have seen something that those below couldn’t see.
Therefore, to prevent unexpected incidents, Xiao Zhan felt he should take action sooner to resolve this Demon Beast tide crisis.
"Bring Li Teng and the others with you."
"No need, let Li Teng and the rest stay. In such a large-scale battle, Li Teng and his group won’t have a decisive role," Xiao Zhan shook his head and said.
"I understand, I will defend the Secret Realm." ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by NoveIＦire.net
Afterward, Xiao Zhan found Liu Xin.
After briefly explaining the situation to her, he took her back to Northern City.
"Why are you back again?" Ye Wudi, seeing Xiao Zhan return, couldn’t help but ask.
"There’s nothing urgent in the Secret Realm; I’ve come to support you."
"Nonsense!" Ye Wudi immediately scolded, "The army can’t be without a leader for a day, you are the main general, and with the Northern Bear coveting from the side, how can you leave at will?"
"The Northern Bear is already gone," Xiao Zhan had no choice but to tell the unfortunate truth.
Otherwise, Ye Wudi would keep nagging without end.
That’s how nags are, dwarfs in action but giants in words!
"Gone? What do you mean?"
Ye Wudi’s expression froze, and he didn’t react immediately.
But then he suddenly remembered that Xiao Zhan had told him they’d encountered a minor problem in the Secret Realm, which was already resolved, and he came to a realization.
Xiao Zhan nodded at him seriously, "Yes, it’s exactly what you’re thinking."
He had thought the minor problem was that Xiao Zhan and his group were attacked by a Demon Beast in the Secret Realm, or at most, they had a minor conflict with North Bear. How could he have imagined it was a life-and-death struggle!
And look at Xiao Zhan, with his calm and collected appearance.
Does he really not know how much trouble he’s caused?
"I know what you’re worried about, but don’t worry for now. North Bear is in the same situation as us, and they won’t make a move against us for the time being," Xiao Zhan reassured him.
Ye Wudi inwardly scoffed, "Great, now I need your consolation."
"They won’t make a move now, but what about settling scores later? You directly wiped out one of their military troops; they won’t let this go easily!"
"Then we’ll fight. It was they who made the first move; we’re in the right."
Xiao Zhan had already thought out his retreat plan.
If it really came to fighting, Xiao Zhan wasn’t afraid of them.
Ye Wudi was at a loss for words.
His anger rose and fell, then finally dissipated with a sigh.
"Forget it, what’s done is done; I can’t exactly drag you off to apologize now, can I?"
"Right, if I’m going to die, I might as well kill more Demon Beasts before I go," Xiao Zhan agreed with his words.
Ye Wudi was even more exasperated.
Here he was about to get married, and still so carefree.
"What’s the situation now?" Xiao Zhan steered the conversation towards the Demon Beasts.
When he had just come from the Secret Realm, he found that the Demon Beasts were once again closing in on Northern City, and that Seventh Grade Demon Beast seemed ready to strike.
"Su Mulan and the others couldn’t have arrived at a better time, this group of Demon Beasts launched a total offensive, attacking with insane ferocity as if intending to pave a blood path with corpses. The weapons on the defensive line were nearly smoking from firing. If it weren’t for you having Ghost Abacus upgrade the equipment, I fear that the first defensive line would have collapsed during the initial assault."
The power of one person is limited.
Although Ye Wudi is a Seventh Grade Sovereign, he can’t act rashly, because once he does and his power is consumed, the Seventh Grade Demon Beast, the Thunder Ape King among the beast horde, will surely strike.
His role is more of a strategic deterrence.
Similarly, as long as the Demon Beasts still have sufficient vitality, the Thunder Ape King won’t easily make a move.
This is a standoff between commanders.
Neither dares to act rashly; a slight miscalculation could lead to a complete loss.
However, now that Xiao Zhan has arrived, his power is enough to break a bit of the balance in this stalemate.
"Then it seems I’ve arrived just in time."
After saying this, Xiao Zhan confidently smiled and led Ye Youlong towards the frontline.
"Be careful," Ye Wudi called out from behind.
He had asked Xiao Zhan to stay in the Secret Realm because he knew this Demon Beast tide was extraordinary. Fearing that Xiao Zhan might encounter accidents here, so he had him avoid this danger within the Secret Realm.
But what he didn’t expect was that Xiao Zhan would come anyway.
He really wanted to urge Xiao Zhan to return, but the current situation indeed required Xiao Zhan’s help.
After all, Xiao Zhan was the one whose strength came closest to his own here.
His involvement would greatly assist in tipping the scales of the situation.
"Honey, do you know how to fly a plane?" On the way to the frontline, Xiao Zhan asked Ye Youlong.
Hearing this, Ye Youlong immediately showed him a devilish smile, "Not only can I fly a plane, but I can also fight in one."
