Chapter 1335: Congratulations

Xuanyu Realm?

Is the Xuanyu Realm fighting too?

Chen Ling stopped changing frequencies and instead placed the radio by his side, listening intently.

"Calamities from the Falsehood Mountains are constantly trying to attack the defense lines of the Xuanyu Realm. But with the successive interventions of the Esoteric Sect and practitioners of folk Shinto, the situation has stabilized. Under the layers of the triple defense line, no calamity will be able to break into the urban area for the time being..."

"I believe all listeners felt the tremors about five minutes ago. Please do not panic; that was a small cluster of cunning calamities attempting to bypass the defense line to attack the realm, but they have already been contained and did not cause many casualties!"

"Here, I want to emphasize on behalf of the Xuanyu Realm government again: everyone, please do not panic, do not run around, and do not take irrational actions. Please trust that the Xuanyu Realm can withstand this calamity attack..."

"Now, we have invited several villagers who witnessed the battlefield fighting just now to tell everyone about the situation on the front line..."

“……”

The Xuanyu Realm is facing off against the Falsehood Mountains, then...

On the throne, Chen Ling rubbed his chin with one hand, lost in thought.

It was clear that this radio frequency was the most mainstream one in the Xuanyu Realm, and the so-called frontline reports were mostly a program prepared by the Xuanyu government to stabilize the emotions of the people in the rear.

After all, under the siege of calamities, the uninformed public in the city would inevitably be extremely terrified because they had no idea about the situation on the front line or when the calamities might break into the city and kill them cruelly... Being in a state of high mental tension for a long time would cause people to gradually lose their sanity. If a riot broke out in the rear, that would be troublesome.

At this time, timely and moderate delivery of "positive intelligence" from the front line to the rear could greatly alleviate tension and make them feel more at ease.

Although Chen Ling knew that this information must have been embellished, it could still reflect the general situation of the battlefield to a certain extent.

"Hello, sir, may I ask your name?"

"I... I'm surnamed Li."

"Mr. Li, you just said you saw the calamities with your own eyes, is that right?"

"You bet!! It was terrifying! They were all so big and fierce, and with one step, they crushed my field... Sigh, I've been farming for half a year..."

"Then, Mr. Li, did it see you?"

"Of course! They came straight for our village. If it weren't for a flaming lion that bit it to death halfway, I probably wouldn't be here now..."

"A flaming lion?"

"Just like that... that lion from the lion dance performances in the past, really big, but it looked strangely good."

“……”

Chen Ling was stunned.

With this description, Chen Ling immediately thought of Sun Bumian's awakened lion form... In this era, there probably wouldn't be a second "Sun Bumian."

Shouldn't he be in the Nanhai Realm with the Fusion Faction? Why did he run to the Xuanyu Realm?

"Now we can see that many wounded are being taken away from the front line. Let's find a soldier with minor injuries to interview..."

(Sound of hurried footsteps)

"Hello, I am reporter Chen Yu, currently broadcasting the frontline situation to the Xuanyu Realm... May I ask your name?"

The interviewee was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted:

"My name is Han Dan."

"How is the situation on the front line now?"

"The situation on the front line is very stable now. Those calamities won't break through our defense line in the short term."

"That's really good news!" The reporter paused for a moment, seemingly hoping to make the interview more authentic, and then immediately asked, "It seemed like some calamities briefly broke through our defense line just now. Is there anything you can reveal about that?"

"That was indeed unexpected... Those calamities acted as if they suddenly had a different commander, fiercely attacking a weak point in our defense line. Fortunately, someone helped us plug the gap."

"Someone?" The reporter keenly caught onto something. "A single person?"

"Basically, yes... I've never seen him before, but he's really strong. He was wearing that kind of ancient general's armor, and with one sword, he almost cut through the wave of calamities from the Falsehood Mountains. I've never felt such powerful killing intent... even those calamities didn't dare to get close to him."

"We actually have such a powerful figure in the Xuanyu Realm?!"

"He doesn't seem to be from the Xuanyu Realm, but he has already joined our battle line... Thanks to him, the pressure on our defense line has been reduced a lot, and the situation has stabilized."

"Do you know his name?"

"I don't know that... but someone called him General Jian."

"General Jian... I will remember this name, and I believe everyone behind the radio will remember this name. Everyone who contributes to this war is a hero of our Xuanyu Realm."

"Next, let's go interview some logistics personnel and see what they think about this war..."

“……”

Killing intent, General Jian.

Coupled with the fact that Sun Bumian is in the Xuanyu Realm, the identity of this so-called General Jian was already obvious.

"One man, one sword, cutting through the Falsehood Mountains..." Chen Ling leaned back against the throne, murmuring to himself, "In the past half year, you've actually grown to this point... Spade."

He didn't know how Jian Changsheng and Jiang Xiaohua had joined up with Sun Bumian, nor did he know why they appeared in the Xuanyu Realm...

But now it seemed they were already fighting for the Xuanyu Realm.

Chen Ling didn't think that, given the personalities of the three, they would voluntarily get involved in the war of the Xuanyu Realm. He guessed that it was likely the Xuanyu Realm had reached some kind of deal with them... but he didn't know what the content of the deal was.

But it didn't matter. Since they could trade with the Xuanyu Realm, it meant the Xuanyu Realm didn't reject them. Through this war, perhaps the three of them could even wash their reputations clean in the Xuanyu Realm. At the very least, after this reporter's interview aired, they would have some favorability among the public.

Chen Ling turned off the radio.

"General Jian... a hero of the Xuanyu Realm."

The bright red opera robe sat alone on the dim throne, eyes staring blankly at the void before him, as if lost in memories of the past.

The little Jian who was once so humble to the bone in the Ancient Treasury of the Military Path, the Jian Changsheng who had traveled with him from Aurora to the Red Dust, then to Tian Shu, and even the Spade 6 of the Wuji Realm—the one he had personally defeated in the Jiangtian Sect, full of unwillingness—had stepped onto the stage that truly belonged to him, step by step... The light that had once been covered by mud was gradually being seen by more people.

Chen Ling was not surprised by this. He knew that this was what Jian Changsheng deserved... He was like a diamond buried in the mud; as long as he was given a chance, his brilliance would be enough to amaze everyone.

It was just that he could no longer witness it himself.

The brilliance of a diamond should shine in times of human crisis, not in a dark, lightless underground insect den.

On the dead-silent throne, the bright red opera robe in the darkness slowly raised the remaining half-cup of Five-Poison Wine from the night before, gently offering it toward the void in the direction of the Xuanyu Realm, as if celebrating something from afar...

A smile of mixed emotions curled on his pitch-black, hideous face...

"...Congratulations, Spade."
