Chapter 435 The Third Divine Enemy Emerges from Seclusion
Eastern Xia Federation, Yanjing.
In the unknown underground laboratory, a stark white light suddenly shone, repeatedly refracting and multiplying on every inch of the polished alloy wall, finally converging into an absolute brightness without temperature or shadow, revealing rows of cylindrical culture tanks.
Then, a faint ripple appeared in the space, spreading out a hazy crimson hue.
A drop of bright red blood fell from it and entered one of the culture tanks.
The tubing and instrument panel connected to the culture vessel suddenly started up, and a powerful surge of gas rose up inside the vessel as lines of data changed.
Finally, the tank exploded, and a figure floated out and landed on the ground.
"Bai Ze!"
As the newly reborn Qu Jingxuan adjusted to his body, he gritted his teeth and muttered Bai Ze's name, while also keeping in mind the existence of a certain backstabber...
"Great freedom—" Qu Jingxuan whispered.
"Hmm?" A faint voice came from the void.
Upon hearing this, Qu Jingxuan clenched his fists, but still silently lowered his head and added, "—God."
A soft laugh suddenly came from the void.
"In the past, you were my ally, calling me Great Freedom," Great Freedom chuckled leisurely, "I won't argue with you," but as Bai Ze said, "now, just as he said, you're my dog. I allow you to have your own personality, but that doesn't mean I'll tolerate your disrespect."
This great freedom is like a scumbag; before you get it, he calls you an ally, but after you get it, he turns into a dog.
There was nothing he could do; after all, Qu Jingxuan had already merged with the blood of the Great Freedom Demon and become its possession.
Even the resurrection of Qu Jingxuan was entirely due to the blessing of Da Zizai.
Otherwise, even if he were a nine-star martial artist who had condensed his life soul and earth soul and possessed the qualifications to possess another body, he would at most escape with a wisp of remnant soul and barely survive.
Unlike now, Da Zizai took everything from Qu Jingxuan and then integrated it into Qu Jingxuan's backup clone.
Even the faith power that Qu Jingxuan had absorbed was taken away by Da Zizai and is now being injected into the newborn body.
In the future, Qu Jingxuan will no longer need a vessel to carry his faith and spiritual power. Da Zizai will directly receive it for him remotely and will not even take any kickback, giving it all to Qu Jingxuan.
From this moment forward, Qu Jingxuan is part of the Great Freedom.
Qu Jingxuan's strength is the strength of Great Freedom.
Everything he had ultimately returned to the state of perfect freedom.
"Yes, Lord Emancipation." Qu Jingxuan could only respond respectfully.
Seeing that his newly acquired subordinate was so sensible, Da Zizai chuckled again.
It wasn't that he enjoyed watching people act like dogs, but rather that he could sense the anger in Qu Jingxuan's heart.
Qu Jingxuan, who considered himself extraordinary and unwilling to submit to Da Zizai, was now forced to submit. His performance fully satisfied Da Zizai's interests.
Da Zizai laughed for a long time before stopping and saying, "From now on, do as you said before. I look forward to your good show."
As soon as he finished speaking, the blood gradually faded until it disappeared completely.
Only then did Qu Jingxuan slowly raise his head, revealing a ferocious face.
"Bai Ze!"
Bai Ze's last words echoed in his mind: "I said we would meet again."
At that moment, the laboratory door opened automatically, and a man in formal attire walked in; it was another Qu Jingxuan.
Qu Jingxuan appeared in Yanjing as a stand-in, while his real identity was in Yingguo to absorb faith and to plan the return of the Iron Continent to the Western Alliance.
In this way, even if someone exposes his true colors in Japan, he can calmly retaliate.
In retrospect, it seems that Qu Jingxuan's body double was quite necessary, even extremely necessary.
His original body died suddenly in Japan. If he hadn't arranged for a body double in Yanjing, he might have become a body double after his resurrection, just like Master Huang.
However, Qu Jingxuan, upon realizing this, felt no pride whatsoever, only the humiliation of defeat.
He grabbed the stand-in's head and pressed it down, searching for memories from that period of time.
When the stand-in collapsed due to brain damage, Qu Jingxuan changed into his clothes and went to the laboratory.
The laboratory's exit was located in Qu Jingxuan's study.
When Qu Jingxuan came out of the study, he saw the door open and his son Qu Mingfeng walked in.
"Who let you in?" Qu Jingxuan said coldly.
This study is always off-limits to outsiders.
Upon hearing the reprimand, Qu Mingfeng instinctively shuddered, then said, "Father, the Rift Sea Whale is about to arrive in the Federation's waters, and people from other families have come to invite you to a meeting."
Upon hearing this, Qu Jingxuan's expression softened slightly, and then a strange light appeared in his eyes as he looked at Qu Mingfeng.
Qu Mingfeng suddenly froze, his eyes glazed over.
When he came to his senses again, he had already forgotten Qu Jingxuan's earlier reprimand.
Qu Jingxuan has always been tolerant of his son, so his sudden display of unusual anger might lead people to speculate about something.
Although it was almost impossible for Qu Mingfeng to leak this information, Qu Jingxuan still took precautions.
Although it might seem like an overreaction, Qu Jingxuan has always believed in nipping crises in the bud. Otherwise, he wouldn't have added a plan on the Wanyi train to eliminate Bai Ze as well.
Moreover, this wasn't the first time he had done this to Qu Mingfeng.
It was precisely because she frequently manipulated her son's memories that Qu Jingxuan checked Qu Mingfeng's consciousness immediately after he was released by Bai Ze, to see if anything had been tampered with.
Seeing that Qu Mingfeng had come to his senses, Qu Jingxuan was already calm and composed, and said lightly, "Tell them that the meeting is unnecessary, the Rift Sea Xuan Whale won't cause any trouble."
The spatial rift has been suppressed again, and the generals have been taken to the Mountain and Sea Realm for a trip. Unless that beast is stupid, it won't dare to approach any further.
Moreover, given such a major incident, the Third Divine Enemy should step in.
Speak of the devil, and he appears. The increasingly fierce winds outside suddenly subsided, and a calm yet orderly force descended upon Yanjing and every part of Dongxia.
"The third divine enemy has emerged from seclusion." Qu Jingxuan sensed this invisible order and spoke in a cryptic tone.
Since the third campaign to subdue demons, the Third Divine Enemy has been in seclusion healing his wounds. Today, he has finally emerged from seclusion, only to find himself facing off against the increasingly active Great Freedom.
Perhaps the fourth exorcism campaign is not far off.
Upon hearing Qu Jingxuan's words, Qu Mingfeng said with admiration, "Father is indeed a prophet! I will go and inform the other families right away."
With that, he quickly left the study.
But as soon as Qu Mingfeng stepped out of the study, his eyes changed for a moment.
Meanwhile, on a high peak in the central part of the Eastern Xia Federation, space fluctuated, and a figure emerged from it.
...
.....
He was a young man who looked to be under thirty years old, wearing a black uniform from the Ministry of Justice. He had neither an imposing presence nor an aura that could intimidate others, and his eyes were even closed, as if he were blind.
However, when he appeared, everything in the Eastern Xia Federation became orderly, and even the storm brewing in the East China Sea calmed down at that moment.
Far off, a low, alarmed rumble seemed to come from beneath the surface of the sea, and the enormous creature retreated swiftly into the deep ocean.
At the summit, the four figures present simultaneously bowed and said, "Greetings, Third Divine Enemy."
"No need for such formalities."
The third enemy god showed none of the coldness and sternness of a cultivator of the Northern Emperor's Black Law. His upright face was filled with a gentle smile as he waved his hand and said with a smile, "What era are we living in? There's still so much formality. Anyone who didn't know better would think we'd gone back to the feudal era."
"The enemy has made a great contribution, and this is the respect we should show them," said Cheng Peng, the top firefighter in Dongxia, solemnly among the four.
The Third Divine Enemy was severely injured during the Third Demon-Slaying Movement. His vision was erased from his primordial spirit by the Great Freedom, and from then on, he could no longer see anything in the world in any way.
Even with divine sense or even the power of the mind, it is no longer possible to sense the forms of all things.
In the Third Divine Enemy, the concept of vision has been personally erased by the Great Freedom.
Such a sacrifice alone is enough to earn our respect.
Not to mention that the Third Divine Enemy has not only been healing his wounds all these years. He is channeling his power in the void, using himself to suppress space and prevent the East Xia Federation region from intersecting with the other world.
While spatial rifts appear in neighboring Fanzhu every year, the Dongxia Federation is able to maintain basic stability, precisely because of the presence of the Third Divine Enemy.
Of course, the first and second formidable enemies also deserve credit.
After the Third Demon Extermination Movement, the First Divine Enemy basically stopped appearing in the Federation, because he had been tracking the traces of the Great Freedom.
Although the Great Freedom has made a comeback, there is still no sign of him personally descending, because the First Divine Enemy has been tracking him.
The second divine enemy, namely the "God of War" Pei Dongliu, has always been stationed in the Mountain and Sea Realm to protect the Federation's interests in the Mountain and Sea Realm.
The God of War frequently appears in the Federation's news reports, which mainly focus on his battles against gods of the human world, Vladimir, the enemy of Ursus, the "great god" of Shinra, and the giant beasts of the Mountain and Sea Realm... In short, all sorts of great battles.
The God of War has been involved in major battles every year without fail.
"The third divine enemy, your eyes..." A long-bearded old man beside Cheng Peng said hesitantly.
"It's the old man from the Wang family."
The Third Divine Enemy said, "My vision probably won't recover, but fortunately I've gotten used to it. Plus, with the Great Freedom Dharma Body that Mu Yaoguang sent, my injuries have basically healed. By the way, I heard that Wang Yiming has died. Please accept my condolences, sir."
Upon hearing this, Old Master Wang showed a hint of sorrow, but immediately said in a deep voice, "He colluded with the immortals; he deserved to die, a good death."
Although the Third Divine Enemy had a amiable demeanor, he was, after all, a practitioner of the "Northern Emperor's Black Laws," and Old Master Wang would not show the slightest favoritism towards Wang Yiming in his presence.
Even on other occasions, he showed no intention of exonerating Wang Yiming, nor did he ever cause trouble for Bai Ze.
However, the Third Divine Enemy said, "Wang Yiming did indeed violate federal law and deserved to die, but Bai Ze killed him privately, so he also deserves a minor punishment. I will have the Enforcement Department issue a disciplinary order, barring Bai Ze from promotion in the Enforcement Department for three years. Of course, the due rewards will not be lacking; the Martial Arts Association will not mistreat its meritorious members."
Thus, the Third God Enemy put an end to the matter and expressed his own stance.
Unless the Wang family is foolish, they will not retaliate against Bai Ze for this, as that would overturn the verdict of the Third Divine Enemy.
No one present seemed surprised by this.
No matter how easygoing the Third Divine Enemy may be, he still cultivates the "Northern Emperor's Black Law." Although he has indeed broken free from the constraints of the "Northern Emperor's Black Law," his character remains primarily based on federal law and justice, and will not change just because he has broken free from those constraints.
As he spoke, the entire Eastern Xia Federation had completely returned to peace and order.
Just then, the third enemy of the gods suddenly frowned.
The four Heavenly Gate warriors present also received the message at the same time, and their communicators successively emitted emergency alerts.
As a skilled firefighter, Cheng Peng had an instinctive reaction to such a notification. He quickly took out his communicator and opened the message notification.
Then-
"Inspector Wei Shaozheng reports that Bai Ze is suspected of being possessed by a demon in Ying Kingdom?"
Cheng Peng was immediately shocked.
At this moment, the third enemy also turned serious.
"After thirty years of seclusion, the Federation is in chaos." The Third Divine Enemy sighed helplessly and coldly.
[Mu Yaoguang sent an urgent message, stating that Wei Shaozheng, the East China Sea Patrol Envoy of the Martial Arts Association, and Qi, the head of the Federal East China Sea Base...]
.....
The Yue people have all submitted to the Great Freedom, and the "Black Laws of the Northern Emperor" have been broken.
Inside the central campus of Yujing Martial Arts University, Luo Shu was also explaining information to everyone present.
Upon hearing the news, everyone present turned pale.
Prior to this, Wei and Qi ambushed Mu Yaoguang and Bai Ze, severely injuring Bai Ze, who fell into the sea and his fate is unknown. Mu Yaoguang is currently searching for Bai Ze in the East China Sea and has requested the vice principal's assistance.
Upon hearing this news, Zhang Huayang's face darkened completely.
The two pieces of news, the former may cause a huge uproar in the Federation, and the latter may even cause Yujing Martial Arts University to lose a major pillar of its future.
There couldn't be worse news than this.
"Luo Shu, connect me to Yao Guang," Zhang Huayang said immediately.
【Yes. 】
Luo Shu immediately called Mu Yaoguang back.
The communication was quickly established, and in the projected light screen, Zhang Huayang saw Mu Yaoguang speeding along at breakneck speed, and the coldness on her face.
"Yaoguang, don't worry," Zhang Huayang said. "I will set off immediately for the East China Sea. The satellites from Wuhan University and Xinggong Chenyi Society will also be deployed to search."
"We'd better hurry, I suspect Bai Ze might have fallen into a spatial rift."
Mu Yaoguang didn't say much, only hurriedly said one sentence before hanging up the call, leaving behind an unconcealed urgency.
Zhang Huayang didn't see that Mu Yaoguang's expression had already returned to calm after the call ended.
This way, even if Wei Shaozheng and Qi Yue report Bai Ze's situation, they can delay it.
At worst, it'll just be a magical duel.
Although the evidence is not as conclusive as others, as long as there is no irrefutable proof, Bai Ze's fate is at most unknown.
Moreover, this magical clash might reveal other people who have sided with the Great Freedom.
The followers of the Great Freedom are like cockroaches; when you find one, there's probably already a whole nest nearby.
Wei Shaozheng and Qi Yue were definitely not the only two who betrayed them.
