Chapter 1246: Deterring the Federation

All major forces are studying the video of the aurora. Someone filmed it quite clearly, showing a beam of aurora passing across the sky and piercing through the Tower of Babel.

Then the Tower of Babel seemed to be heated up instantly, generating a terrifyingly high temperature, turning the entire tower into a red-hot iron block.

Then the tower broke and collapsed, the entire Tower of Babel collapsed, and the explosion produced a powerful shock wave, destroying the area within a radius of twenty or thirty miles, like the end of the world.

"That's the Tower of Babel. How many people have wanted to take over the Tower of Babel? Even the strong ones at the Fear Level can never come back. How could it be destroyed by just one shot?" Xia Liuchuan was stunned and said this after a while.

"The intensity of that aurora should be comparable to that of a calamity-level power, but it doesn't look like the skill of some calamity-level creature. It's more like some kind of light weapon launched by humans." Zhang Chunqiu said thoughtfully, with a strange look on his face.

"No way, can humans create weapons of that level?" Xia Liuchuan was a little unconvinced.

"Who knows?" Zhang Chunqiu was not sure.

The whole world is discussing the origin of the Aurora, and many people also cast their suspicious eyes on Luoyang Anjia.

The Guardian Alliance tried their best to hunt down An Tianzuo, but at this very moment, the Tower of Babel was blown up. This was too much of a coincidence.

However, people are very skeptical about whether An Tianzuo really has such great power. Even someone as powerful as the Four War Gods cannot possess such a strong power.

What's more, An Tianzuo was not near the Tower of Babel at that time, but was on Laojun Mountain thousands of miles away.

But soon, more doubts arose, because Luoyang was under close surveillance by various forces, and someone discovered that An Sheng brought a team of people and escorted a huge monster into Luoyang.

It was not surprising to escort things into Luoyang, but at the critical moment of life and death in Luoyang, An Sheng, a die-hard member of the An family, was not in Luoyang. After verification, it was discovered that the route he took back was most likely the direction of the Tower of Babel.

What is even more suspicious is that someone found traces of the Thief Saint in the desert, and the An family seemed to have not caught the Thief Saint at all.

All the criticisms were directed at the An family, but no one dared to touch them. Even the Guardian Alliance, which had suffered a great loss, did not act rashly.

Even the spies of various major forces in Luoyang were ordered to evacuate temporarily, and many plans for the An family were temporarily shelved.

No one wanted such a horrific blow to fall on their own home. Even a place like the Tongtian Tower was destroyed. If it were their own lair, no one dared to imagine what the consequences would be.

Suddenly, the An family became a terrifying threat, and everyone was terrified. Before anyone could confirm whether the An family could still wield such terrifying power, no one dared to attack them forcefully.

But inevitably, many people tried to find ways to investigate Anjia and find out the source of the aurora.

However, this is already the best result An Tianzuo wants. At least no one dares to hurt his family again.

An Sheng returned to An Tianzuo.

"General, I am glad to have fulfilled my mission successfully." An Sheng led a group of soldiers to report to An Tianzuo.

"Is it fun?" An Tianzuo asked with a smile.

"It feels great." An Sheng replied.

"Is it enjoyable?" An Tianzuo asked again.

"It's awesome." All the soldiers involved in the operation answered loudly.

"That's good. From now on, if anyone makes us unhappy, we will just let them have their fun. All the team members who participated in this operation will be awarded the Sunset Three-Star Medal, and their military rank will be raised by one level..." An Tianzuo rewarded the team members who participated in the operation, and also rewarded all members of the Sunset Army.

During the period when An Tianzuo tactically evacuated Luoyang, no unrest occurred. All the troops who stayed behind without knowing the situation performed their duties and did not cause any major changes in Luoyang.

Li Mobai, who had always been a headache for An Tianzuo, actually helped stabilize the situation in Luoyang during this period, which surprised An Tianzuo.

Originally, An Tianzuo wanted to take this opportunity to clean up Luoyang again. Li Mobai was his biggest concern, but he didn't expect that Li Mobai had no intention of taking advantage of the chaos to occupy Luoyang.

"It was a close call this time." Li Xuan had been staying at the Li family. After hearing the news that An Tianzuo had returned, a huge stone fell from his heart.

He was not worried about An Tianzuo, but was glad that Li Mobai did not take advantage of this period to forcibly occupy Luoyang.

Li Mobai glanced at Li Xuan with disdain: "You are so close to the An family, and you can't even see through An Tianzuo's little tricks. What big things can you do?"

"I'm not the kind of person who does big things." Li Xuan shrugged indifferently.

However, he really admired Li Mobai in his heart. He knew very well how much Li Mobai hoped that the Li family would replace the An family and become the king of Luoyang. However, in the face of such a great temptation, Li Mobai actually saw through An Tianzuo's intentions and firmly believed that An Tianzuo could come back. This is indeed not something that ordinary people dare to think or do.

Not long after An Sheng came back, he went to find Zhou Wen.

Zhou Wen also watched the video online. He had long guessed that it was An Sheng who did it, and he had also guessed what emitted the aurora.

An Sheng had taken him to see the huge compression accelerator before, but Zhou Wen had not expected that thing to be so terrifying. The power of that attack was so strong that even Zhou Wen did not dare to withstand it. It was probably comparable to the power of a natural disaster.

An Sheng did not hide anything from Zhou Wen and told him the whole story.

"Master Wen, the commander-in-chief didn't mean to hide it from you. It's just that this operation is too risky. The fewer people who know about it, the better. If someone notices something is wrong, we can't lure Dongshi and the others here. It's actually very difficult to launch an accelerator at that distance without being discovered by Dongshi and the others." An Sheng explained.

Zhou Wen didn't mind this and nodded, saying, "It's indeed very risky. Not only did you lure people from the Cave World over there, you also lured people from the Holy Temple over there."

An Sheng smiled and said, "In fact, Principal Leng was nearby at the time. As long as the commander-in-chief gave the signal, he would come to rescue."

Zhou Wen was not surprised. This was An Tianzuo's style. It made no sense for him to take such a big risk without any preparation.

"Although the governor didn't say it, I can see that he is still very touched by your help at the critical moment." An Sheng said.

"I just don't want anything to happen to Sister Lan and the others. It has nothing to do with him." Zhou Wen said.

An Sheng smiled and said, "We are all family, why should we make such clear distinctions?"

After a pause, An Sheng said with a bitter face, "But this one shot wiped out the An family's years of savings. It's not an exaggeration to say that we've returned to the pre-liberation era overnight. We'll have to tighten our belts from now on."

Zhou Wen was slightly startled: "Does that thing consume so many resources?"

"It's more than just big, it should be said to be terrifying. If there weren't a large amount of unexpected resources, there would be no second shot in the next few years." An Sheng said.

"Aren't you afraid that the Guardian Alliance will retaliate during this period?" Zhou Wen said with a wry smile.

"That depends on whether they have the guts to gamble. The governor said they don't have the guts to gamble." An Sheng looked very relaxed and said to Zhou Wen, "But the governor said that this matter cannot be known to anyone other than our family, otherwise it will be disastrous."

"I can only guarantee that the news will not leak out from me." Zhou Wen said seriously.

An Sheng laughed: "If he didn't trust you, the governor wouldn't have allowed me to tell you."

While the two were talking, An Sheng suddenly received news that another creature had entered the Venus dimension.
