## Chapter 1335: Congratulations

Xuan Yu Domain?Xuan Yu Domain is also at war?

Chen Ling stopped changing frequencies. Instead, he placed the radio beside him and listened intently.

"Calamities from the Illusory Mountains are constantly attempting to breach Xuan Yu Domain's defenses. However, with successive interventions from esoteric sects and folk divine path practitioners, the situation has stabilized. Under the layered resistance of the triple defense lines, no calamities will be able to penetrate the urban areas for now..."

"I believe all listeners felt the tremor approximately five minutes ago. Please do not panic; a small group of cunning calamities attempted to bypass the defenses and attack the domain, but they have been contained and caused no significant casualties!"

"On behalf of the Xuan Yu Domain government, I want to emphasize again: please do not panic, do not run around, do not act irrationally. Please trust that Xuan Yu Domain can withstand this calamity attack..."

"Now, we have invited several villagers who witnessed the battlefield firsthand to share the situation on the front lines..."

Xuan Yu Domain against the Illusory Mountains, then...On the throne, Chen Ling thoughtfully rubbed his chin with one hand.

It was clear that this radio frequency was the most popular in Xuan Yu Domain. The so-called front-line reports were likely a program specially prepared by the Xuan Yu government to stabilize the emotions of the people in the rear. After all, with calamities besieging the city, the uninformed citizens within the urban area would undoubtedly be extremely terrified because they would have no idea about the front-line situation, when the calamities might break into the city, or when they might be brutally killed... Prolonged mental tension would gradually cause people to lose their sanity, and if riots broke out in the rear, it would be troublesome. At such a time, transmitting "positive intelligence" from the front lines in a timely and appropriate manner could largely alleviate tension and reassure them. Although Chen Ling knew these reports were certainly embellished, they could still reflect the general situation on the battlefield to some extent.

"Hello, elder. What is your name?""I... my surname is Li.""Elder Li, you just said you witnessed the calamities with your own eyes, is that right?""Yes!! They were so terrifying, so big and fierce, and they trampled my fields to pieces with one foot... Oh, I worked hard to plant those for half a year...""Did they see you, Elder Li?""Of course, they came straight for our village. If a big fiery lion hadn't appeared halfway through and bitten it to death, I probably wouldn't be here now...""A big fiery lion?""Just like that... that lion from the lion dance performances, really big, but oddly beautiful."

Chen Ling was startled.This description immediately made Chen Ling think of Sun Bumian's awakened lion form... In this era, there was probably no second "Sun Bumian."Shouldn't he be with the Integration Faction in the Nanhai Domain? How did he end up in Xuan Yu Domain?

"We can now see many wounded being evacuated from the front line. Let's find a lightly wounded soldier for an interview..."(Sound of hurried footsteps)"Hello, I am reporter Chen Yu, currently broadcasting the front-line situation to Xuan Yu Domain... May I ask your name?"

The interviewee paused, then quickly responded:"My name is Han Dan.""What is the situation on the front line now?""The front line is stable. Those calamities won't breach our defenses anytime soon.""That's great news!" The reporter paused for a moment, apparently wanting the interview to feel more authentic, then immediately asked, "It seemed like some calamities briefly broke through our defenses earlier. Is there anything you can tell us about that?""That was certainly unexpected... The calamities suddenly attacked a weak point in our defenses as if they had a new commander. Fortunately, someone helped us seal the breach.""Someone?" The reporter keenly picked up on something. "Just one person?""Basically, yes... I'd never seen him before, but he's incredibly strong. He wore ancient general's armor, and with one person and one sword, he almost cut through the wave of calamities from the Illusory Mountains. I've never felt such potent killing intent... Even the calamities dared not approach him.""We have such a formidable figure in our Xuan Yu Domain?!""He doesn't seem to be from Xuan Yu Domain, but he has joined our front line now... Thanks to him, the pressure on our defenses has greatly reduced, 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 that name, and I believe everyone listening will remember it too. Every person who contributes to this war is a hero of our Xuan Yu Domain.""Next, let's interview the logistics personnel in the rear to hear their thoughts on this war..."

Killing intent, General Jian.With Sun Bumian also being in Xuan Yu Domain, the identity of this so-called General Jian was clear."One person, one sword, cutting through the Illusory Mountains..." Chen Ling slowly leaned back into the throne's seat and murmured, "In just over half a year, you've grown to this extent... Spade."

He didn't know how Jian Changsheng and Jiang Xiaohua had reunited with Sun Bumian, nor why they were in Xuan Yu Domain...But it seemed they were now fighting for Xuan Yu Domain.

Chen Ling didn't think it was in the nature of Jian Changsheng and the other two to voluntarily get involved in Xuan Yu Domain's war. He guessed that Xuan Yu Domain had likely made some kind of deal with the three of them... but he didn't know the specifics of the deal.

But it didn't matter. The fact that they could make a deal with Xuan Yu Domain indicated that Xuan Yu Domain didn't reject them. Furthermore, through this war, the three of them might even be able to clear their names and gain acceptance in Xuan Yu Domain. At the very least, after this reporter's interview aired, they would have public approval.

Chen Ling turned off the radio.

"General Jian... a hero of Xuan Yu Domain."The figure in the grand red opera robe sat alone on the dim throne, gazing blankly into the void before him, as if lost in past memories.The once humble Young Jian from the Ancient Military Repository, who had journeyed with him from Aurora to the Mortal Realm, then to Tian Shu, and even as Spade 6 in the Boundless Domain—that Jian Changsheng, whom he had personally defeated in the Crimson Sky Sect, eyes filled with defiance—had now, step by step, walked onto his true stage... The brilliance that had once been obscured by mud was gradually being seen by more people.Chen Ling was not surprised by this; he knew it was what Jian Changsheng deserved... He was like a diamond buried deep in the mud; given a chance, his brilliance would amaze everyone.However, Chen Ling could no longer witness it firsthand.A diamond's brilliance should shine brightest when humanity is in peril, not in a dark, lightless underground insect lair.

On the desolate throne, the grand red opera robe in the darkness slowly raised the half-cup of Five-Poison Wine that remained from the night before. He gently extended it towards the void in the direction of Xuan Yu Domain, as if celebrating something across the distance...On his dark, grotesque face, a bittersweet smile appeared..."...Congratulations, Spade."
