The moment Ling Lan reached the ground, she brought Li Lanfeng and Li Shiyu out of the forest.
"What's the situation down there?" Li Lanfeng asked.
"The important person has escaped. The other passageway in the base has been destroyed by them," Ling Lan replied briefly. Then, she asked, "Are they all here?" Originally, he just wanted to see if there was a chance for him to gain some benefits. Now, it seemed that the opportunity was really here.
"They are all here. Everyone is rubbing their hands and preparing for a big fight," Li Lanfeng smiled and said.
"Ask them to rush to this location." Ling Lan sent the location Little Four gave her to Li Lanfeng and asked him to arrange it immediately.
"This is a good chance to gain some military merits. However, the opponents are very strong. Ask them to be careful." There was one more thing that Ling Lan didn't say. That was, Zilong, Luo Lang, and Xie Yi who were stuck at the peak of Great Perfection Stage of Qi-Jin for a long time should be able to gain some benefits from fighting with those fake domain realm masters.
Ling Lan was too strong. She couldn't help her friends by fighting with them. Even if they fought with her, it would only be harmful to them. If she pressured them too much and caused Zilong and the others to walk down the same path as Qiao Ting, it would be a huge loss. This was why Ling Lan could only watch Zilong and the others suffer from the pain of being stuck at the peak of Great Perfection Stage of Qi-Jin. She didn't help them at all.
Originally, she thought that they could only rely on their own efforts to advance to the domain stage. She wouldn't be able to help them. She didn't expect that this unexpected mission would allow her to see a glimmer of opportunity. She didn't expect a fake domain realm master to appear here. A fake domain realm master only had at most a quarter of the strength of a domain realm master. Although a domain realm master with this level of strength could defeat a Qi-Jin master, due to the difference in their strength, they wouldn't be able to instantly kill their opponent. This was a chance for Qi Long and the others. As long as Qi Long and the others could hold on and fight with the fake domain realm master for a period of time, they would be able to understand what a domain concept was.
Once he gained some insights, he would be able to break through the Qi-Jin barrier and advance into the domain stage. This was also the reason why she asked Li Lanfeng to rush Zilong, Luo Lang, and Xie Yi over.
Li Lanfeng quickly informed his three companions who had been waiting for a long time.
"Oh right, someone from the headquarters is here too." Li Lanfeng told his friends about the news he received.
"Who is it?" Ling Lan's heart skipped a beat. Her dad was here in disguise again …
"Our old acquaintance, He Xuyang, Chief of Staff He!" Li Lanfeng's smile got wider. He and Han Jijun had fought with the other party a few times for the sake of their clan. They both had their wins and losses. Thinking about it, the other party would have a headache when they saw the two of them. He hoped that the other party didn't hate them.
Ling Lan smiled. "Looks like the 23rd division wants to get some benefits from this mission."
"Since you received this mission by accident, General Ling Xiao won't let go of such a good opportunity," Li Lanfeng said in a low voice. "The 23rd division is a new division. Their military achievements are almost zero. If they want to have more say in the military headquarters, they must have military achievements that the military headquarters can't reject. This mission is something that the military headquarters placed a lot of importance on …"
"If that's the case, I'm afraid that just the few of us won't be enough." Ling Lan only wanted Zilong and the other two to get some benefits. She didn't think as much as Ling Xiao. From the looks of it, with just the few of them, they might not be able to take down all those people. Some of them might slip through the net.
"Don't worry. A few domain realm masters from the 23rd division came with Chief of Staff He too." Li Lanfeng didn't expect General Ling Xiao to be so daring. He ignored the order from the military headquarters and ordered his domain realm masters to stand at the side and wait for an opportunity.
"Either we don't do it or we take the majority of it." Ling Lan instantly understood Ling Xiao's plan. If the 23rd division's domain realm masters listened to the order from the military headquarters and joined this mission, even if they succeeded, they would only be able to lead a normal mission like the other domain realm masters. If they didn't succeed, the 23rd division wouldn't be able to afford to lose these domain realm masters. Of course, if Ling Xiao discovered that the other side could turn the situation around, he would definitely order the generals under his command to take action. Then, the mission would be different.
Of course, if the military's domain realm masters were able to complete this mission, Ling Xiao would give up on this mission. Just like what Ling Lan said, Ling Xiao either didn't do it or didn't want anything. If he wanted to do it, he must take the majority of it and get enough benefits.
"My father isn't as perfect as you all think." Ling Lan gave Li Lanfeng a heads-up. When she thought about how the world saw Ling Xiao as the perfect embodiment of the virtues of a soldier and the synonym of justice, she couldn't help but sigh softly. Only she knew that Ling Xiao had his own selfish desires. He was definitely not as good as the world thought.
"I know. That's why I respect General Ling Xiao a lot," Li Lanfeng replied sincerely. Li Lanfeng replied sincerely. If Ling Xiao was really a saint, Li Lanfeng wouldn't worship Ling Xiao this much.
At that moment, the military had already taken control of the entire school district. Only a few fake domain realm masters from the unknown faction were fighting for their lives. Ling Lan estimated that not long after, the military would be able to finish all the battles and attack the base in the forest.
While everyone's attention was on the domain realm masters, Ling Lan brought Li Lanfeng and Li Shiyu out of the Central Scout Academy silently. They rushed towards the location where the members of the base had retreated.
Zilong and the other two had already arrived at the location their boss gave them. Of course, this location was still some distance away from the actual location where the base had retreated. Ling Lan didn't want Zilong and the other two to meet the enemy without any preparation.
In order to not be noticed, Ling Lan chose a secluded place where only a few old people would take a stroll in the morning. There were dense trees on both sides of the path.
When he saw Ling Lan, Zilong instantly shouted excitedly, "Boss!"
"Is everything ready?" Ling Lan asked.
"Of course!" Zilong rubbed his palms together. Ling Lan's beautiful face blushed with excitement. This let Ling Lan understand what it meant to be dazzling. On the other hand, Xie Yi just stood there calmly. Although he didn't say anything, from his clenched fists, one could tell that his fighting spirit had reached its peak.
"Regiment Commander Ling, long time no see!" He always thought that Ling Lan would greet him first. He stood beside Zilong and said gloomily.
'Young Master Lan, Young Master Lan, how can you ignore me?' He Xuyang wanted to cry in his heart.
"Great Chief of Staff He, long time no see. Your body is stronger than before," Ling Lan said calmly.
'What does Young Master Lan mean?' He Xuyang thought about the meaning behind Ling Lan's words. He saw the domain realm masters' mouths twitching as though they were trying to suppress something. He suddenly understood. 'Damn it, Young Master Lan is saying that I'm fat!'
"Regiment Commander Ling!" Chief of Staff He Xuyang felt hurt. He looked at Ling Lan with resentful eyes. Damn it, he became fat because your father threw everything to him, making him so busy that he didn't have time to exercise.
"What orders do you have?" Ling Lan ignored He Xuyang's resentful gaze and said coldly.
'Not fun at all!' He Xuyang replied uninterestedly, "This time, the general gave the order. We will follow Regiment Commander Ling's orders."
Hearing this, the domain realm masters were surprised. They thought that He Xuyang would be in charge of this operation. They didn't expect it to be this young regiment commander of a mecha clan.
However, those who were sent by Ling Xiao were all trusted subordinates of Ling Xiao. The domain realm masters didn't have any complaints. Since General Ling Xiao made this decision, he must have his reasons.
Ling Lan didn't hold back. She immediately told the domain realm masters what she knew. When they heard that there were titled domain realm masters in the base, the domain realm masters' expressions turned serious.
One of them said, "If there are titled domain realm masters retreating, I'm afraid that we won't be able to stop them."
In the domain realm, the difference in strength couldn't be made up by numbers.
"It's okay. If there are titled domain realm masters, I can handle them," Ling Lan said calmly.
Ling Lan's words made the domain realm masters take in a deep breath. They knew that someone who could gain the trust of Ling Xiao was definitely not an ignorant young man who didn't know his place. He wouldn't go to his death even if he knew that he was going to die. If he said that, he must be confident. Could it be that this young man in front of them was a domain realm master? Not only that, but he was also a titled domain realm master?
He Xuyang was satisfied. Before he came, he was also shocked when the general told him that Young Master Lan was already a titled domain realm master. Now, there was finally someone who received the same treatment as him.
"Yes, Regiment Commander Ling has already reached the level of a titled domain realm master. The general told me personally." He Xuyang confirmed their guess.
Ling Lan looked at He Xuyang intently. It seemed that He Xuyang had passed Ling Xiao's test and finally gained the trust of Ling Xiao.
"Since everyone knows, let's start the operation." The moment Ling Lan finished speaking, she disappeared.
The domain realm masters looked at each other. Just a moment ago, they felt Ling Lan's domain energy. As expected, this young regiment commander was already a domain realm master. Their figures flashed, and they disappeared as well.
"Chief of Staff He, we will leave first." Zilong and the other two waved at He Xuyang and left.
The moment Li Lanfeng moved, Li Shiyu grabbed him.
"It's too dangerous there." Li Mulan had just reached the peak stage of Qi-Jin. It wasn't suitable for him to follow Li Lanfeng.
Li Lanfeng slowly pushed Li Shiyu's hand away and said softly, "If I retreat now, I will never be able to catch up with him again."
Li Shiyu wanted to say something but Li Lanfeng didn't give him a chance. He disappeared in a flash.
Li Shiyu stopped in his tracks and gritted his teeth. He couldn't let his eldest cousin brother risk his life. A domain realm battle wasn't something they could participate in.
PS: I thought that I was about to pay off the Jade Annulus of He Clan this month. Then, I saw that there was a new one … Alright, you win.
