Chapter 1276: Calling for Help

Xiao Bai was about to say something upon hearing this, but before he could speak, Xiao Tao's weak voice sounded again:

"The views of the human realms don't count here... To the Fusion Faction, Big Brother Chen Ling is our hero. He was in the past, he is now, and he always will be in the future."

Without Chen Ling, Xiao Tao and Xiao Bai would probably have died at the hands of the Jiangtian Sect; without Chen Ling and his Disaster Legion, the Fusion Faction would have suffered nearly half casualties before even crossing the Gray Realm; now Chen Ling was still risking his life in the Nanhai Realm to find a way for them to survive. Such kindness could not be expressed in just a few words.

"But your brother..."

"Big Brother, you aren't a god. It's not your fault that you couldn't save everyone." Xiao Tao shook her head, her eyes filled with bitterness. "Actually, I've been mentally prepared for these years... I just didn't want to believe he was dead.

Thank you and the Son for making up such a fairy tale to take care of my feelings."

Chen Ling fell into silence.

Xiao Tao was very sensible, but sometimes, she was too sensible... Sensible children always kept all their sadness to themselves and left their smiles for others, which made one's heart ache.

The Pu family members didn't catch up. In fact, during the escape, Chen Ling didn't hear much movement behind him. He successfully led the two away and broke through the ground in a field on the edge of the Nanhai Realm.

Chen Ling looked at the sky, his brows gradually furrowing.

The time agreed upon with the Fusion Faction was approaching. If nothing went wrong, they would soon arrive at the entrance of the Nanhai Realm...

Chen Ling turned to look at Xiao Bai and Xiao Tao and said solemnly:

"Xiao Bai, in a moment, carry Xiao Tao and head north... The toy factory should be nearby."

"Pu Jianyue has already caused trouble at the Cao Gang, so they won't attack the toy factory again. Now that the Pu family's full energy is focused on catching me, the toy factory is the safest place... Hide there, do you understand?"

"Yes!"

Xiao Bai immediately carried the weak Xiao Tao on his back and nodded seriously.

"Big Brother Chen Ling... what about you?" Xiao Tao asked.

"I'm going to create some noise to attract the attention of the Nanhai Realm, and by the way..." Chen Ling paused for a moment.

"Call some people to help."

……

"It's gotten cold again..."

At the entrance of the messy grocery store, a middle-aged man with a shaved head walked out slowly from the room.

He held a teacup in his hand, blowing gently on the rising steam while watching the leaves gradually falling along the street. The cool breeze from afar brushed across the earth, making the old shop sign rattle.

"The weather in the Nanhai Realm has been quite abnormal lately."

A figure wearing a wool coat and a scarf walked up to him, eyes watching the swirling wind and clouds, and spoke slowly.

"Is this some kind of omen?"

"...Hard to say."

The bald man nodded slightly, lowered his head, and took a sip of tea. "By the way, why have you been running to my place so often these past two days? Have the tasks of the Paper Kite Relief Association all been handled?"

"Basically." Chu Muyun hesitated for a moment. "Mainly, I'm still a bit worried..."

"Worried about what? Or rather... worried about whom?"

"Whoever is currently the most prominent figure in the entire Nanhai Realm, that's who I'm worried about."

"Ah~ as expected of the famous Heart of Hearts 6, he can turn things upside down no matter which realm he's in."

"This time is different... This time, he seems a bit too flamboyant." Chu Muyun let out a long sigh. "After all, the Nanhai Realm has two demigods sitting in charge. If he makes too much of a scene, it will be hard to end."

"What? Do you have a way to deal with two demigods?"

"How could I?"

"Then what can you do?"

"What else can I do? If something really happens, I'll hurry and beg the Red King to save him."

"Will the Red King agree?"

"Tsk, I don't know... Neither of this master and apprentice can be seen through."

Chu Muyun shrugged, leaning casually against the rattling door sign. "But we can't handle the demigod level; as for the others... we can always have a go at them."

"? You've already reached this point??" The bald man was extremely surprised.

"I'm still far off... However, I've called others over these past two days."

"Who?"

Chu Muyun looked at him and smiled without saying a word.

"Playing mysterious." The bald man couldn't be bothered to argue with him. After drinking the tea in one gulp, he turned and walked into the shop.

Just then, a tiny afterimage whistled across the street, flying in from the end of the alley opposite!

"Huh?"

Chu Muyun let out a soft sound, raised his fingertips slightly, and precisely caught the afterimage, which was like a flying knife, between his fingers...

It was a letter.

The bald man walked back to the entrance and looked at the direction from which the letter had been shot. The end of the alley was already empty, with no figures to be seen. His expression was somewhat solemn.

"Who is it?"

Chu Muyun didn't answer, just quickly tore open the letter. A sheet of letter paper and a playing card slid out.

Looking at the face of the playing card, Chu Muyun smiled slightly:

"Who else could it be? The man of the hour, of course."

"It seems he's being chased so tightly by the Pu family that he can't even show his face." The bald man leaned in close to Chu Muyun. "What does he say?"

"He needs someone to help open the gates."

"The Fusion Faction?"

"Yes."

"From the perspective of the human realms, this is inviting a wolf into the house." The bald man looked at Chu Muyun. "Are you going to help him?"

Chu Muyun laughed.

He tucked the letter into his bosom, looked at the dark, heavy clouds in the distance, and said calmly:

"We are the Twilight Society, the public enemy of the human realms. Whether the human realms are willing to let the Fusion Faction in... what does that have to do with us?"

"If introducing the Fusion Faction can cause chaos in this realm and lead to the early entombment of the Nanhai Lord, wouldn't that be a good thing?"

The bald man was stunned, then gave him a thumbs up:

"As expected of you official members, this line of thinking is awesome!"

……

After delivering the letter, a red afterimage continued to fly forward, hugging the shadowed corner of the wall.

There wasn't much time left for Chen Ling, and with the "Heart of Hearts 6" causing trouble multiple times, the entire Nanhai Realm was on high alert. He couldn't communicate with the Twilight Society members in person, so he could only use this method to convey his needs.

Han Meng held to his own justice and wouldn't help him open the gates; but the Twilight Society was already a public enemy of the realm, so naturally, there was no justice to speak of. Chen Ling believed that the Twilight Society would definitely be willing to send people to help him.

So his next task was to create as much of a scene as possible...

An invisible heart-python extended from Chen Ling's sleeve, clinging to his back. The massive snake head constantly scanned the surroundings, its red tongue flicking, as if searching for something.

"Then..."

"My 'counterfeit,' where exactly are you hiding now?"
