Huaxia, Wolong Garden.
Secretary Song hesitated a bit before coming to the elder's door, checking the ti, The elder had an early sleeping habit, and disturbing him seed inappropriate.
Yet, the elder had sternly instructed that if there were any news about Ling Fan, it must be reported to him imdiately.
Therefore, Secretary Song stood at the door, conflicted about whether to disturb or leave.
In the end, he steeled his heart, If scolded by the elder the next day, it wouldn't matter much; resting was more important.
With his mind made up, he was about to tiptoe away when,
"Already at the door, why are you leaving!" the elder's voice suddenly ca from inside.
This old fellow, his hidden illnesses all gone and back in the Grandmaster Realm, could hear everything. Not just Secretary Song standing at the door, even a mouse passing by would not escape his notice.
Secretary Song sighed; the elder seed more spirited after his injuries had healed.
"Haven't you gone to sleep yet?" Secretary Song said in a low voice.
"Co in. If you have sothing to say, just say it. Isn't it about that lad stirring up trouble?" the elder's tone was tinged with a bit of excited anticipation.
Secretary Song gave a wry smile, gently pushed open the door, and walked in to find the elder already dressed.
He then reported the news from Snow Country, thoroughly explaining everything to the elder.
"Hey, that lad is capable indeed, even took down the Martial Alliance. Not bad, not bad; he really did not disappoint !" the elder chuckled, in a good mood.
"Do you know the lad's next move?"
Secretary Song shook his head, "That, I'm not sure. Tracking him is not easy!"
"That's true. Perhaps he has gone to find Sima Tianhao?" the elder muttered.
"He wouldn't have gone into hiding and fled, right? After all, that place is Snow Country's territory. He's alone; Snow Country will surely mobilize the nation next, and I see that as very dangerous!" Secretary Song hesitated.
"Hmm, keep watching. This lad has made quite the stir. However, I don't think he has settled his scores with Sima Tianhao just yet," the elder shook his head.
"He still dares to stay there waiting for Sima Tianhao?" Secretary Song was a bit surprised.
"Hehe, just watch. This lad isn't likely to chicken out so easily. Going all that way, would he let Sima off? During the siege of Burial God Island back then, he contributed a lot!" the elder weirdly chuckled.
"Alright, you should go rest early as well!"
Secretary Song acknowledged and turned to leave, carefully closing the room door behind him!
....
Snow Country.
The barely escaped Higashimura Daisuke stood in a desolate wasteland, gathering the remaining ninjas in front of him, prepared to return to the Ninja Village to report the situation.
At that mont, looking at the ten or so ninjas in front of him, his heart chilled.
They had arrived with high hopes, only to return disheartened. The troops he had brought were practically decimated.
"Let's go, no more waiting. Head back to the village imdiately!" Higashimura Daisuke instructed the ten or so people in front of him, then imdiately led the way.
He had previously left a secret signal; if anything unexpected happened, they were to regroup here. Having waited here half a day, only these ten or so people showed up. There was no need to think about the rest; they had all been lost.
In another direction, Amaya Rei wasn't faring much better compared to Koga, but still slightly stronger, twenty-so ninjas followed him back.
However, the loss of two Jonin hit him harder than anything. The life of twenty people, even doubled, could not match the value of a Jonin.
Amaterasu Mountain, in Yinghe Village.
About a thousand Dragon Gate mbers had already surged forth, guns blazing as soon as they spotted a ninja, while several Elder Leisure People engaged in fierce combat chasing after high-ranked ninjas.
In fact, the Yinghe lineage wasn't just limited to Yin Huang as a Jonin; several others had gone to the world's Martial Arts temple "Shenwu Institute" for further training.
The sa was true for Koga. The "Shenwu Institute" wasn't originally known by this na, nor was it publicized.
It was a gene research institute secretly established by various governnts, where people from the Secular World sought to unlock the mysteries of cultivating martial arts through scientific ans.
Later, because Ling Fan had shown the prowess of the God Realm, this establishnt was brought to public attention. High-level officials from various countries consulted and reached a consensus with the Martial Alliance to establish the "Shenwu Institute."
Utilizing technology to indirectly boost the potential of martial artists, complenting each other, the results were remarkably effective.
However, the requirents for entering the Shenwu Institute were extrely strict, and it was subject to intense supervision and regulation by various countries.
Ling Fan's Divine Sense searched everywhere, but there was no trace of Yin Huang.
The Ninja Village was a scene of carnage and blazing flas. With no absolute experts to hinder them, the remaining low-ranking henchn were quickly eradicated under the leadership of elves and others.
The shouts of battle gradually subsided. Ling Fan looked at the bodies strewn all over the ground, the night sky brightly illuminated by the fire, as bright as day.
The air was tinged with the sll of blood and gunpowder, and the soil underfoot was stained a deep brown with blood.
"Everyone, check for any that might have slipped through, then let's tally our losses!" Ling Fan instructed the others.
Elves and others stood beside Ling Fan, vigilantly watching for any sudden changes that might occur around them.
Nick and Sandy, along with a group of Dragon Gate mbers, were cleaning up the battlefield; the remaining cleanup work no longer required the Elder Leisure People to take action.
"Swoosh~"
"Ah~"
"Tatatata~"
A small disturbance alard the Elves and others; imdiately, several Elder Leisure People quickly rushed over to check the situation!
It turned out that there were corpses pretending to be dead amongst the dead, who naturally resisted while the battlefield was being cleaned.
After glancing at a Dragon Gate mber who had inadvertently been killed, Elves admonished, "Everyone, be careful, there may still be others feigning death!"
Having experienced this once, everyone beca cautious, shooting at bodies from a distance before approaching to check.
Shortly after Yue Shan and Sima Tianhao left.
Sitting by the sacred stele beside the pool, Wataru Senmori's mood was sowhat complex as he silently watched the reflection of the crescent moon in the water, sowhat distracted.
Just then, a sudden burst of blood light erupted from the Sacred Stele, revealing a 'Yin' character.
Wataru Senmori's complexion changed abruptly, a shock in his heart.
"Yin Huang in danger of annihilation? How could that be?" Wataru's face turned ashen, staring at the distress signal on the Sacred Stele, dazed for a mont.
A mont later, the blood light gradually disappeared, and the characters vanished.
After pondering for a mont, Wataru resolutely stood up, a decisive look in his eyes, and imdiately his figure moved, rushing towards the valley's exterior.
A mont later, his figure vanished within the valley.
However, shortly after his disappearance, the Sacred Stele flashed with blood light once more, clearly showing a 'Jia' character.
Indeed, Clan Leader Jia Xiu had also sent out a distress call, but his timing was a step behind; in the entire Yue Shan, only Wataru Senmori was a Ghost Ninja.
Mount Hachiman, Koga.
Azure Dragon led the way, desperately opening a path at the front. Fortunately, they didn't encounter significant fire resistance here, mainly because the geographical location was sowhat different.
Additionally, with the Azure Dragon's lightning war tactics, they didn't give the enemy a chance. He took on the role of bridgehead, a pioneer, breaking through the enemy's critical defense line by himself and creating a gap.
In the end, in the battle with Jia Xiu and other high-rank ninjas, they spent quite a bit of ti and lost so n.
With Black and White Impermanence, a total of three people, cooperating with pre-prepared high-caliber thermal weapons, they captured Jia Xiu in a very short ti.
After settling the battlefield, only Jia Xiu managed to escape.
Imdiately, Azure Dragon made a call to Ling Fan!
"Beiming, Clan Leader Jia Xiu has escaped!"
"Was it Blood Escape? Sa here, no big deal, that thing must be harsh on the body.
Ti's about up, you guys hurry and retreat, set fire when you leave, burn it all down!" Ling Fan instructed over the phone.
After hanging up the phone, Ling Fan looked around and promptly instructed Elves and the others, "It's about ti; how many people have we lost on our side? Shortly, you guys take them and hurry out, don't miss the ti to get on the ship!"
"We've lost seventy-nine people on this side, and about two hundred others were injured, but it's not a big problem!" Elves reported back.
"Hmm," Ling Fan nodded, finding the result sowhat acceptable.
"Koga has lost one hundred and thirteen people, and over two hundred were injured," Ling Fan said indifferently.
This casualty figure was within his expectations. The Azure Dragon's side had greater losses; this side was mainly because he arrived at the end; otherwise, it might have been even more than Koga's.
"By the way, I'll contact the Princess and two other people; they'll et up with you shortly and leave with you on the ship!" Ling Fan instructed again.
"The Princess? She's involved too?" Elves exclaid in surprise.
She knew Nami Amayama's identity and believed Ling Fan would not pull her into this ss.
Ling Fan gave a wry smile, "For the past two years, to help with my revenge, she has been infiltrating the Martial Alliance and has just blown her cover!"
The Elder Leisure People, hearing this, suddenly realized and felt a sincere admiration for the 'Princess.'
Nick, looking at the remaining mbers around him, felt incredibly excited, "My god, you guys are amazing, only suffering so little damage; if this gets out, it's simply a miracle!"
"Hehe, don't get too excited just yet, think about celebrating once we're safely away; now's not the ti to be happy," Ling Fan said with a slight sternness.
"Yes, War Emperor!" Nick imdiately responded respectfully.
At that mont, at the base of the mountain, Amaya Rei returned with a group of surviving soldiers.
"What is this...." Amaya Rei looked at the village at the mountaintop, engulfed in flas, and felt dizzy.
