Qing Chen said calmly, "This is the last group of people. After you leave, go to the Lower Three Districts to guide your families to evacuate. Xiao Qi, you opened this door, and you are responsible for closing it behind us."
Xiao Qi smiled and said, "Parents, please don't worry, I will make sure all family members are safely evacuated. It's just... we've only just finished integrating the three lower districts, it's a bit of a pity to leave like this."
Qing Chen shook his head: "The disaster in City 10 has exposed the Parents' Association to the conglomerates' scrutiny. We have no choice but to leave. Next, all the conglomerates will launch a purge of the Parents' Association. Alright, go."
"What about you, parents? Aren't you leaving?" Xiaoqi asked curiously.
"I have to meet someone else, and then I will leave through the door left by Kunlun," Qingchen said before hanging up the phone.
By this time, Qing Chen had destroyed 47 surveillance points and taken away a total of 490 people, which was even more outrageous than what Zheng Yuandong had done.
Qing Chen tapped twice on the button-type communicator to turn on the communication channel: "Bai Zhou sends greetings to everyone."
After saying that, he crushed the communicator, turned around, went downstairs, and headed towards the fourth district.
There was a flurry of activity on the communication channel, with someone shouting angrily that they needed to find out what was going on.
The Orochi organization already knew what Zheng Yuandong had done in City 23. They were still thankful that their home hadn't been robbed when Bai Zhou swaggered in to show off his achievements.
That's outrageous!
...
...
The fourth district is bustling with traffic.
Kamishiro Yunra sat on the edge of a building's rooftop, with a huge holographic projection device beside him. Colorful lights converged around him as he drank beer and looked down at the world below.
He was still dressed in a white hunting robe, looking like a celestial being.
With a click, the small door to the rooftop behind him opened, and Qing Chen slowly walked over and sat down next to him.
"Want a drink?" Shindai Yunluo pointed to the beer next to her, and a whole plastic bag.
Qing Chen shook his head: "City No. 10 is in dire need of reconstruction. I can't drink the drink I owe you right now."
"Then what are you doing here?" Kamishiro Unra said disdainfully.
"I'd like to express my gratitude. Without you providing the surveillance points for the Orochi intelligence organization, I wouldn't have been able to take so many people away so smoothly," Qingchen said with a smile.
The reason tonight's operation went smoothly was because Shindai Yunluo accurately provided the addresses, allowing Qingchen to go to each of the intelligence personnel and kill them.
Otherwise, if even one surveillance point were to transmit the message, the operation would be discovered by the gods.
Qingchen felt that his relationship with Shendai Yunluo was very complicated. They were enemies at first, but now they had cooperated countless times. The other party had even gone to the southern battlefield to help him.
It's hard to tell whether they're friend or foe.
When recalling his friend from the Shindai era, Mr. Li Xiurui once remarked that there are not so many black and white things in this world. There are good people in conglomerates and bad people among ordinary people. Should we look at a person's background when making friends with them?
If we can get drunk together for a day, then being friends for a day wouldn't be bad.
Qing Chen asked, "How are the injuries you sustained when Chen Yu shot you down?"
A slight smile played on Shen Dai Yunluo's lips: "You're concerned about me?"
“After all, you got injured while helping me,” Qingchen explained. “If I didn’t even care about that, I would be too inhuman.”
“I’m not here to help you, I’m here for the eyeballs,” Kamishiro Yunra said, downing the can of beer in one gulp and then letting out a burp.
Qingchen sighed, "So even the male celebrities who are madly in love with the noble young master of the Divine Era can burp when drinking beer."
“Even fairies need to poop,” Kamishiro Yunluo rolled her eyes. “My injury is fine now.”
"When you appeared on the battlefield, didn't the Kamishiro Foundation hold you accountable?" Qingchen asked curiously.
“They did hold me accountable, I was imprisoned for six months and placed under house arrest in my own residence,” Kamishiro Yunra said with a smile. “But among the people guarding me, would any of them dare to lay a hand on me? I go out drinking every day and no one seems to care. Besides, the Kamishiro Group is busy currying favor with foreigners right now and doesn’t have time to deal with me.”
"That's good. By the way, what's your opinion on the collusion between the Divine Era and overseas forces?" Qing Chen asked.
"What else can we say? This family is rotten to the core," Shindai Yunluo said with a smile. "As long as the big shots don't die, it's hard for us young and promising to take power. We can only live in fear, careful not to become mere shells for some big shot. But I must warn you, the overseas forces are much larger than we imagine. The internal strife within the Federation is too fierce, and now it has been divided into two-fifths. The Chen family is not united either... It seems that they will lose this war between the Eastern and Western continents."
Kamishiro Yunluo continued, "Fortunately, your two clever maneuvers first triggered a propaganda war and a wave of strikes in the North, and now you're waging a war to grab troops, forcing Kamishiro and Kashima to withdraw some of their forces to protect their headquarters. This has bought the Kei and Lee families some breathing room. However, if the Chen family is unwilling to send troops, then the Federation's defeat is only a matter of time. One year, two years? At the latest, three years."
Speaking of this matter, Qingchen also became heavy-hearted.
At this moment, Shindai Yunluo continued, "Your wish to develop City 10 is commendable, but the problem is, with the foreign forces pressing in with their troops, it's questionable whether City 10 can even be defended. The situation has changed. Right now, the enemy has only sent their first vanguard, yet they've already forced the Qing and Li clans into a series of defeats. If the next batch of reinforcements arrives, how will the Federation win? Let's have a drink, and you won't be so anxious afterward."
"After all that talk, you just wanted to persuade me to drink?" Qing Chen raised an eyebrow. "I can't drink."
"This is boring," Shen Daiyunluo drank can after can until he was completely drunk. He stood up on the edge of the rooftop and walked back and forth like a tightrope walker, almost falling off the rooftop several times. Qingchen pulled him back to safety...
"Can drinking this much really make you happy?" Qingchen asked, puzzled. "Why are you acting crazy after drinking so much?"
Shindai Yunluo glanced at him from the rooftop: "Qingchen, if after drinking you can still walk home sober without crying, making a fuss, laughing, or making phone calls, how lonely must you be? It means that no one in this world ever gives in to you, no one protects you, and you can only learn to be strong on your own."
"Qingchen, your body can't handle alcohol, but your heart needs it. Like I said, the person who is most sober after drinking is the one who suffers the most."
Just then, the rooftop door opened, and Kōyō Kamishiro appeared on the rooftop with her long, straight black hair, wearing a black suit: "Brother Yunluo, I've come to take you home."
Shen Dai Yunluo glanced at Qing Chen: "Remember, you still owe me a drink."
After saying that, he drunkenly followed Kamishiro Sora away.
Liu Qingchen stood alone on the rooftop.
However, he did not leave, but instead planned to leave a little surprise for the Kamishiro Foundation.
At 3:30 a.m., Qing Chen, wearing headphones, sneaked into the first district. He casually climbed a tall building, while the headquarters of the Cheshe Yumeng lineage, the Mind Realm Dojo, was just 2 kilometers away.
He looked up at the starry sky: "A clear moon and few stars, perfect for murder."
As he spoke, Qing Chen crouched on the edge of the rooftop of the high-rise building and set up his "Winning Hearts and Minds" sniper rifle.
With a thunderous roar, the tungsten-core armor-piercing bullet was fired from the barrel and hurtled towards the hidden sentry post of the Mindset Dojo like lightning.
Shot after shot, outside the sacred ground of renunciation and protection, 12 sentries died one after another.
The next moment, the leader of the Cheshe Gomen Dojo immediately summoned the guards to surround the building where Qingchen was located.
"Set up defenses! Set up defenses within a five-kilometer radius to prevent him from escaping using a parachute or hang glider!"
"Bring the garrison's armored vehicles over and surround that building!"
"Kashima just shared intelligence; the way they left required someone to close the door behind them. He's all alone now, we absolutely can't let him escape again!"
"Mobilize drones, helicopters, and airships!"
The members of the Shindai were hysterical; they could not tolerate someone so brazenly killing people in their own base!
The densely packed garrison troops of the Divine Era surrounded Chao Qingchen, while drones, helicopters, and airships roared into the air and took off.
The encirclement force was like a raging tide, and the lights on the aircraft filled the night sky like a galaxy.
Qing Chen seemed oblivious, firing shot after shot, killing hundreds of people in just 20 minutes.
Right in the main camp of the Age of Gods, they killed hundreds of inheritors of the Chersei-go-equaling lineage, as well as hundreds of garrison soldiers. In the past, even demigods would only dare to dream of such a thing.
After all, even demigods aren't made of iron; they can die too!
As the garrison troops drew closer, Qingchen also heard the sound of the armed helicopter's rotors.
He glanced at the time.
Just right.
3.

1.
“Destroy the gate,” Qing Chen said calmly.
In the garrison barracks of City No. 10, Xiao San swung a hammer and smashed it against the frame of a wooden door with a loud thud.
Where the key door opens, a 10-centimeter border will remain. If this border breaks, the key door will break.
Those who enter through the key gate will instantly fall out of it!
In other words, the starting point of this door is City 10, and Qing Chen travels through this door to City 20.
If this door is destroyed, Qing Chen will fall back to the starting point in City 10.
In the night sky above City 20, the forces from all sides of the Shindai have arrived to encircle and suppress them, and the metal storms on the armed helicopters have begun to spew flames!
At that very moment, a loud crash, like the sound of shattering glass, rang out from the No. 10 City Garrison Barracks.
Qingchen, who was on the rooftop, vanished into thin air.
He simply vanished from the public eye, as if performing a terrifying magic trick for thousands of garrison soldiers!
Chapter 709, Cycle
Thousands of soldiers surrounded the enemy, hundreds of armored vehicles sped by, armed helicopters approached overhead, and drones buzzed in like a swarm of wasps.
Amidst this spectacular scene, the magician made a grand exit, leaving no trace behind.
Strange.
mystery.
On the communications channel, the pilot in the helicopter looked at the empty rooftop as if he were in a dream.
He said blankly, "The target has vanished into thin air! Repeat, the target has vanished into thin air!"
The garrison commander was dumbfounded; he had mobilized such a large force, but hadn't caught anything.
The garrison commander found it terrifying to think that Qing Chen was in City 10 just a day ago, and today he had arrived in City 20, and could leave whenever he wanted.
What if someone finishes lunch and feels bored, so they come over and mess with you, and then you have to go home for dinner? Who could stand that?!
The key point is that they still don't understand how Qingchen travels through space, so it's clearly not the effect of the Shadow Gate.
At this very moment, in the garrison barracks of City 10, Qing Chen lost his balance and fell out of the Key Gate.
Fortunately, he braced himself with his hands and did a somersault, thus avoiding an embarrassing fall in front of his subordinates...
Just a second ago he was wreaking havoc in City 20, but now he stood up and put the Three Realms Outsider he had been carrying back on his wrist.
Zheng Yuandong asked from the side, "I was wondering how you were going to come back, but I didn't expect it to be in this way..."
"Where did you go?" Lu Yuan asked curiously.
