Xia Fusheng smiled but remained silent.
Feeling awkward, Shen Cangzhuo pursed his lips and sat down in the chair opposite Xia Fusheng.
"I've already given you enough face, haven't I? As soon as you issued that summons, I came running over."
Ye Lingyue laughed upon hearing this.
In fact, Xia Fusheng and Shen Cangzhuo had a very good relationship. When they were young, they were famous best brothers, so good that they could share a pair of pants.
Later, they gradually evolved into close friends who would tease each other every time they met, otherwise they would feel uncomfortable.
"Yes, you're giving me too much face." Xia Fusheng's expression turned serious upon hearing this. "Your body..."
Shen Cangzhuo waved his hand: "It's nothing serious. At least I can fight my way in and out of those bastards, Night Owls!"
Xia Fusheng looked at his expression and sighed silently.
Shen Cangzhuo suffered a serious injury more than ten years ago, which almost cost him his life.
Even after the injury healed, it still affected the foundation.
The therapist at the time told Xia Fusheng that Shen Cangzhuo probably wouldn't live much longer.
Xia Fusheng held a grudge about this matter. Even after acquiring a considerable amount of Wood Spirit Liquid in the Dragon Kingdom, he used a significant portion of his private treasury resources to obtain two drops, which he then gave to Shen Cangzhuo.
Unfortunately, Shen Cangzhuo returned the Wood Spirit Liquid and even made a video call to scold him for wasting things.
Because Shen Cangzhuo's injuries had absolutely nothing to do with his internal essence, even drinking the Wood Spirit Liquid was of no use.
So he simply didn't accept it at all.
Now, Xia Fusheng has no idea how many more years Shen Cangzhuo has left to live.
For his own sake, he did not want his old friend to die on the battlefield; but for the sake of the Dragon Kingdom, this was the best ending for a top expert.
So Xia Fusheng decided not to say anything more.
Shen Cangzhuo's presence here must mean he has already made his choice, and Xia Fusheng chooses to respect that.
"You said earlier that we had reinforcements. Which unit were they?"
Noticing the silence between the two, Ye Lingyue took the initiative to speak and break the stillness.
“This is where the Alliance of Slaying the Strange comes in,” Xia Fusheng said. “I will have them send another 50,000 cultivators.”
"Those people from those tiny little countries are useless?" Shen Cangzhuo scoffed. "Don't let them run away first during the fighting."
Xia Fusheng smiled and said, "They wouldn't dare."
That's right, I just don't dare.
The Dragon Kingdom will show no mercy to those who are out of touch with reality.
If you dare to back down, then you must be prepared to die.
"So that means a total of 100,000 people?" Ye Lingyue understood.
"According to the information we have received, the Night Owl's combat-capable numbers are roughly at this level. Among them, there are three peak Saints, nine Saints and above (excluding peak experts), nearly one hundred Grandmasters, and twenty thousand Grandmasters."
Even Shen Cangzhuo gasped when he heard the number.
"...That's fucking damn good."
The Night Owl had grown so powerful right under their noses, and they hadn't even paid any attention to it before, nor had they bothered to deal with such a behemoth.
It's no exaggeration to say that with Night Owl's current status as a top-tier Saint and Grandmaster, he could probably easily destroy even a major power like Heistan.
However, they still conceal their true strength, usually only daring to bully small countries, giving others the impression that 'Night Owl isn't very strong, just disgusting, and can be wiped out at any time with a single move.'
Xia Fusheng sighed silently in his heart.
If it weren't for someone working in the Night Owl organization to contact them from the inside, he probably wouldn't have imagined that the Night Owl organization had developed to such an extent over the years.
That incredibly beautiful young man, who was male but possessed a beauty that could topple kingdoms and resemble a woman, finally succeeded.
Unfortunately, that was a road of no return.
Why would Xia Fusheng know about Hua Fuye?
Naturally, it's because they were contemporaries.
He even knew that Hua Fuye's mental breakdown was caused by being 'humiliated' after being defeated by Nian Qingfeng.
As for how it was 'humiliated'............
They pulled down someone's pants to see if they were a man or a woman and then said something humiliating like, "It's such a pity that someone so beautiful is a man."
It sounds a bit ridiculous.
But for a high-ranking, privileged individual, this would be an immense disgrace.
Of course, some other things happened afterward, and then Hua Fuye disappeared, vanishing without a trace in the Dragon Kingdom.
Xia Fusheng originally thought he was dead, but now he suddenly learned of Hua Fuye's whereabouts, all because of Pei Feng, the traitor.
Upon hearing this news, Nian Qingfeng's feelings must have been even more complicated than his.
"When do we set off?" Shen Cangzhuo was now rubbing his hands together, as if he could lead his men out immediately at Xia Fusheng's command.
"No rush." Xia Fusheng shook his head. "There's still one most important person who hasn't appeared yet."
"who?"
Ye Lingyue was the one who answered these words.
It's not surprising that they didn't know; as ancient monsters who have lived for hundreds of years, they know very little about what's happening online.
Normally, even their own descendants wouldn't disturb their peace and quiet.
Over time, they become essentially disconnected from society.
Jiang Wuyuan was very famous in the Dragon Kingdom, and they had heard some rumors about him.
However, this rumor only goes as far as saying that "Jiang Wuyuan is a very talented and capable kid," and it doesn't even come close to being the "most important person" in an important war as Xia Fusheng mentioned.
"You'll find out in a few days," Xia Fusheng said with a smile, keeping everyone in suspense.
Ye Lingyue didn't say anything, but Shen Cangzhuo snorted unhappily.
This old fellow can't hide his words or his thoughts; he wears his heart on his sleeve: "So, Xia Fusheng, you're keeping all this news from me now, aren't you?"
Xia Fusheng remained noncommittal.
after all...........
There are many things we're keeping from them!
