Start By Parsing The Sun

Chapter 522: [521] Whoever reaches out their claws recklessly will have their claws chopped off; the moment of promotion has arrived.

The misty rain falls.

Between heaven and earth, no, it should be between the sea and sky, as if shrouded in a layer of gauze.

A silver-lined Xuanzhou silently passes through the misty rain, swiftly heading towards a lotus island standing on the sea in the distance.

Different from other standard Xuanzhous, the hull of this Xuanzhou is carved with large patterns of red flames.

As the Xuanzhou flies, the surrounding air fluctuates, and the patterns seem to transform into real flames, as if they are about to ignite from the hull.

Those who are observant can recognize at a glance that this is the Xuanzhou from the Heavenly Flame Fortress.

The so-called "fortress" refers to the place where the gods personally preside over the battlefield.

And the "Heavenly Flame Fortress" is the territory of the Candle Melt God.

At this moment.

Inside the silver-lined Xuanzhou.

Zhao Wen, an advanced Xuan Master, glanced through the porthole at the lotus island and asked softly, "Is that the Lingyan Lotus Island in the Dongli War Zone?"

A thin Xuan Master sitting next to him immediately responded, "Yes, Ambassador Zhao!"

The so-called "ambassador" is formally known as the "Fortress Ambassador."

Zhao Wen's gaze retracted from outside the window and glanced at the exquisite metal box placed beside him, a hint of fervor flashing in his eyes.

Inside the box is a highly precious secret medicine called the Soul-Calming Secret Medicine.

His mission on this trip is to deliver the secret medicine to the Dongli War Zone.

After a moment.

The fervor in Zhao Wen's heart dissipated, and he sighed regretfully, "Although the Soul-Calming Secret Medicine is good, it is beyond my reach."

The thin Xuan Master whispered again, "Ambassador, I have already informed the Dongli War Zone, and the Fire Eagle Squadron will soon come to greet you."

Zhao Wen nodded gracefully and made a sound of agreement, "Hmm."

But there was a slight displeasure in his heart, and when he turned his gaze to the window, a barely noticeable coldness appeared in his eyes.

The pilots of the Fire Eagle Squadron are all warriors. The Dongli War Zone only sent a group of warriors to welcome him, not even willing to show a Xuan Master's face?

Although he is only an advanced Xuan Master, as long as he arrives in each war zone, even the main generals have to greet him with a smiling face.

Because the authority of the ambassador does not come from himself, but represents the authority of the fortress and the gods.

This authority is reflected in every detail.

Let's take a simple example.

Under normal circumstances.

Only Xuan Supervisor-level powerhouses are equipped with exclusive silver-lined Xuanzhous, but the ambassador can ride a silver-lined Xuanzhou to carry out official duties.

In less than ten seconds.

A large number of small red dots quickly emerged from the distant horizon, with a total number of no less than five hundred.

They formed a fan-shaped array and flew towards this side.

"Woo~ Woo~"

Strange whistling sounds came through the rain.

It's not difficult to guess.

This must be the Fire Eagle Squadron.

Before long.

Hundreds of Fire Eagles finally flew close to the silver-lined Xuanzhou, and the whistling sound instantly escalated.

Zhao Wen frowned slightly and muttered, "Noisy!"

As soon as the words fell.

This squadron suddenly exploded.

Countless war eagles flew and danced in the sky, either rolling continuously or climbing rapidly, performing various maneuvers.

The tail of each war eagle sprayed out a conspicuous deep green tail flame.

What's even more surprising is that these crisscrossing tail flames formed a line of large Wan Hao characters in mid-air.

The thin Xuan Master was stunned for a moment and subconsciously read out these words, "Welcome Ambassador's visit!"

To be fair.

This is definitely a unique way of welcoming.

It also fully demonstrates the sincerity of the Dongli War Zone.

Zhao Wen still had a stern face and muttered expressionlessly, "Hmph, these soldiers are quite fancy."

After a moment.

The war hawks flew in the air again, quickly forming an arrow shape, pointing towards a lotus island in the distance.

This was obviously a signpost.

The thin and elegant Xuan Master glanced around, his eyes filled with curiosity.

This set of tricks left a deep impression on him.

However, Zhao Wen remained indifferent.

The thin and elegant Xuan Master stole a glance at his superior and suddenly felt that his superior was being overly critical of the Dongli War Zone, but he could only mutter in his heart.

*

Not long after.

Guided by the fleet.

The Silver-lined Xuan Boat descended to about a kilometer in height and gradually approached the Lingyan Lotus Island.

Zhao Wen glanced at the sea and suddenly noticed a different scene.

About two kilometers away from the lotus island, there were a large number of colorful figures, numbering no less than two thousand, frolicking on the water.

They would sometimes leap out of the water in groups, and sometimes create whirlpools on the surface of the sea together.

The thin and elegant Xuan Master also noticed this scene and whispered, "This should be the Hua Yunmu tribe."

He immediately added, "It is said that in the past few days, nearly ten Hua Yunmu tribes have migrated from the deep sea in the Dongli War Zone, gathering over forty thousand Hua Yunmu."

Zhao Wen nodded and subconsciously glanced at the metal box.

The rare secret medicine in the box was the instigator behind all of this.

That is, Cheng Chuan, the inspection envoy who brought tens of thousands of Hua Yunmu to the surface.

Zhao Wen muttered enviously, "What incredible luck!"

Before this envoy set off, he had deliberately inquired about the relevant news.

It was said that when a Hua Yunmu tribe migrated from the deep sea, their leader happened to encounter Cheng Chuan.

In other words.

This great achievement was like a gift that was automatically presented to Cheng Chuan.

At this moment.

The Hua Yunmu on the sea noticed the Silver-lined Xuan Boat flying across the sky.

"Yiya!"

"Ah ya!"

The Hua Yunmu made baby-like cries and dived into the sea one after another.

With the keen eyesight of a Xuan Master, Zhao Wen happened to catch a glimpse of a delicate and curvaceous body leaping into the water from mid-air.

This fleeting sight was deeply imprinted in the envoy's mind.

A whimsical thought arose in Zhao Wen's mind, uncontrollably.

He turned to the thin and elegant Xuan Master and ordered, "Zeng Gongdao, negotiate with the Dongli War Zone later. I want to take away two Hua Yunmu."

As the envoy, Zhao Wen believed that it wouldn't be difficult for the Dongli War Zone to refuse his request for just two sea creatures.

Zeng Gongdao was taken aback and felt something was amiss in his heart.

But as a subordinate, he didn't dare to refuse and could only respond, "Understood!"

*

Five minutes later.

Flying Shark Fortress.

The Silver-lined Xuan Boat safely landed on a landing platform.

"Click!"

The cabin door opened.

As soon as Zhao Wen reached the door, he immediately heard a soft female voice.

"May I ask if you are Envoy Zhao?"

Zhao Wen looked towards the voice and immediately saw a remarkably beautiful female Xuan Master standing gracefully on the edge of the platform.

Fine rain fell, but none of it touched her.

This scene.

Like a painting scroll.

Zhao Wen's eyes flashed with a touch of astonishment, nodding and saying, "Exactly!"

The female Xuan Shi stepped forward and reported her name directly, "I am Lan Jiayao, sent by Cheng, the inspector, to welcome the special envoy."

She then gestured, "Special envoy Zhao, Inspector Cheng is in the factory on the lowest level of the fortress. Please follow me."

After saying that, Lan Jiayao took the lead and walked forward.

Upon hearing "Inspector Cheng is in the factory," Zhao Wen couldn't help but furrow his brows, feeling increasingly dissatisfied.

I am, after all, the special envoy of the Divine Fortress, a high-ranking Xuan Shi expert who traveled a long way to deliver a secret medicine.

You are just a high-ranking Xuan Shi, even if Zhurong, the God of Candles, values you greatly, do you need to show off in front of me like this?

Feeling frustrated, Zhao Wen tightened his grip on the metal box and quickly caught up with the female Xuan Shi's pace.

After a few steps, she turned back and glanced at her subordinate, nodding lightly as a signal, meaning - go and do what I just told you to do.

He had already made up his mind to deliver the secret medicine and leave immediately, not staying a moment longer in the Dongli War Zone.

Behind him, Zeng Gongdao sighed silently, watching his superior walk away.

The Xuan Shi stood in place for a while, mustering up the courage to approach a burly Xuan Shi and quickly relayed his superior's request.

The burly Xuan Shi listened with some confusion, "Ah? The special envoy wants mica?"

Zeng Gongdao forced a smile, "Yes, the special envoy is very interested in this marine species."

After hesitating for a moment, the burly Xuan Shi replied, "Xuan Shi Zeng, I don't have the authority to handle this matter, I must report it to my superiors."

Zeng Gongdao breathed a sigh of relief, "Please do!"

The burly Xuan Shi left Zeng Gongdao behind and quickly left the platform.

Zeng Gongdao glanced at the figure's back and inexplicably had a bad premonition.

*

Under Lian Island.

Inside a giant cavity.

In the middle of the cavity, there was a large underground lake with a diameter of five kilometers.

The bottom of this lake was connected to the ocean.

Thousands of mica were frolicking in the lake.

"Yiya!"

"Heya!"

Various baby talk floated on the surface of the lake.

These mica were all wearing uniform tight-fitting uniforms, each with a colorful resin helmet on their heads.

Looking at the lake, there were more than ten circular floating islands neatly arranged on the water.

Beside each floating island, there was an unfinished ship floating.

When Zhao Wen followed the female Xuan Shi and walked into the cavity along a suspended cableway, this was the scene he saw.

Lan Jiayao noticed the special envoy's gaze and friendly introduced, "These mica are official employees of the submarine factory, they really enjoy working here."

Zhao Wen keenly realized something and couldn't help but ask a question, "Does Inspector Cheng value them highly?"

The female Xuan Shi nodded, "Yes!"

She added, "The inspector said that they are born architects and good helpers in the Dongli War Zone."

Zhao Wen's gaze flickered.

Originally, according to his expectations, there were tens of thousands of mica in the Dongli War Zone, and it wouldn't be a problem to take two with him.

At this moment, he suddenly realized that he might have underestimated the importance of mica, and demanding them rashly might be refused.

Zhao Wen's gaze swept across the lake and muttered to himself, "What a pity!"

However.

He wasn't worried that the Dongli War Zone would give him a hard time, after all, he was the special envoy of the Divine Fortress, and they would at most ignore him.

As Zhao Wen was contemplating, his footsteps involuntarily slowed down.

Lan Jiayao pointed ahead, intentionally or unintentionally reminding him, "The inspector is in the research room, discussing with a group of craftsmen and mica."

Zhao Wen forced a smile and had to quicken his pace.

Quickly.

In a spacious stone chamber.

Zhao Wen finally met the main character.

He took the initiative to nod and greet, his old face quickly filled with a smile: "Cheng Xuncha, I have long heard of your great name!"

Looking at this person's enthusiastic appearance, no one would think that deep down, he harbored dissatisfaction towards the Dongli War Zone and the person in front of him.

However.

To Zhao Wen's surprise, Cheng Han's expression was quite indifferent.

The envoy noticed this detail and his smile suddenly became forced: "Cheng Xuncha, I came here this time..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was rudely interrupted.

Cheng Han sneered: "Zhao envoy, your tastes are even more peculiar than I expected."

Zhao Wen was stunned.

Cheng Han revealed a mocking smile: "Are you tired of women and now interested in the Flower Mica? Should I send you a few more?"

He had long anticipated that the Flower Mica clan possessed beauty far surpassing that of the Wan Hao clan's women, and bringing them to the Dongli War Zone would inevitably cause some trouble.

But he never expected that the first audacious one to reach out would be a envoy from the Divine Fortress.

Everyone in the stone chamber was stunned.

Lan Jiayao blinked her beautiful eyes and a trace of disgust appeared on her pretty face.

Zhao Wen's heart sank deeply.

He racked his brains, trying to come up with an explanation.

Cheng Han couldn't be bothered to listen: "Mr. Envoy, you don't need to explain. I have received guidance from the Star Diffusing Divine General and have obtained a Mystical Seal. I saw through your hidden intentions at first glance."

He immediately turned his head towards a graceful figure in the corner and grinned: "Shuilianhua, give this guy a good beating!"

He had long made up his mind that anyone who dared to reach out recklessly would have their hand chopped off, establishing his authority.

So what if he was a envoy from the Divine Fortress?

Just beat him up!

After all, he now had a very powerful thug.

"Yiya!"

A baby's voice responded.

A slender figure in a beautiful long dress, tightly gripping a white bone staff, rushed forward with a fierce momentum.

This was none other than Shuilianhua, the leader of the Flower Mica clan who had completely transformed into human form.

Cheng Han shouted again: "By the way, snatch the secret medicine for me!"

This was the key to advancing to the Profound Master level and had to be obtained.

"Heya!"

Shuilianhua responded again, and a powerful wave instantly burst forth from her body.

This was the level of a Sea Territory Lord, significantly stronger than a high-level Profound Master.

She swung the bone staff forcefully, and a dazzling blue light burst out, instantly dyeing the stone chamber blue.

Zhao Wen was shocked and quickly retreated while shouting, "Cheng..."

He only managed to say one word.

And was interrupted again.

"Splash!"

The sound of an illusory wave echoed, and large ripples surged in the air out of nowhere.

Zhao Wen instantly realized something, the stone chamber disappeared, and everyone inside vanished, replaced by a deep expanse of water.

The metal box in his hand also disappeared without a trace.

Five meters away.

Cheng Han held the metal box and nodded with a smile: "Not bad!"

With just one move, Shuilianhua easily snatched the secret medicine, and her combat power greatly satisfied him.

Now.

The time for advancement had come!

Cheng Han opened the metal box, quickly took the secret medicine, pulled out the stopper, and drank it in one gulp.
