The battlefield, which had been filled with killing intent just a moment ago, was now completely silent.
Ming Xu stood alone in the Polar Night Graveyard, slowly dispersing his domain barrier. His expression was as cold as ever as he turned around and headed back to his Void Battleship.
Who won? Who lost? Did anyone die?
The anxious players in the airships craned their necks to look, but none of them could sense Li Xiang and Bai Dongxue's aura.
They just disappeared into thin air.
Did they perish together?
Very quickly, they dismissed this idea. If this was really the outcome, the first one to go berserk would probably be Ming Xu.
Ming Xu was so calm, so there was a high chance that Li Xiang had defeated Bai Dongxue.
Looking back at the battle between the two, the players from the Seven Continents felt a lingering fear. They had subconsciously treated these two as juniors, but it was clearly a battle between level 4 players. That was already a rare high-level battle even among the players.
One after another, the airships spat out streams of dazzling steam which crisscrossed one another before vanishing into the air.
No matter what, they had to be the first to send this news back to the Seven Continents. This was big news enough to shock the upper echelons.
Li Xiang had left the Great Wall of Calamity to stop Bai Dongxue from pursuing Ai Yakumo and her husband. Now, this wanted criminal family was on Ming Xu's Void Battleship. Let's see how the Five Thrones, the Three Great Factions, and the Aristocratic Alliance will react.
In the Void Rift.
Bai Dongxue stood in mid-air, looking up at the sky. What entered his eyes was a thick layer of lead clouds and an endless Void Storm. Here, countless Void Tunnels intertwined, ruptured, and formed at all times. The slightest carelessness could cause one to be sucked in and never return to the Seven Continents.
Even the powerful Magicians of the Secret Arts did not dare to casually step into the Void Domain.
He gently raised his hand, and a Void Storm that was about to charge over was instantly torn into circles of ripples by the skyrocketing White Dragon aura, dissipating into the air.
Bai Dong Xue stood with his hands behind his back. There were traces of blood on his fingertips. His face was deathly pale and had lost all color. The clash with Li Xiang just now was not for show. Both of them had used their full strength. One had used a forbidden spell, while the other had used his spear.
If it weren't for this, they wouldn't have been able to create a situation where they were like fire and water. Everyone knew that Li Xiang and the Bai family had a complicated relationship. Ever since the player's assessment, Bai Dongxue's hostility toward Li Xiang had lessened.
"What if that spear killed me?" Bai Dongxue smiled at the black-robed youth who was also floating in the void not far away.
It was very strange. Bai Dongxue had to constantly use his power to expel the turbulence outside his body. However, Li Xiang seemed to have merged with the void and was not affected at all.
Although his bloodline had the Void Blood in it, it was very thin. Even if it came from the Void Girl, it should not be enough to support Li Xiang to be so calm in the void.
Bai Dongxue was puzzled.
Of course, he did not know that Li Xiang was not relying on the genes of the Void Girl, Ellie, to suppress the void. Instead, he was relying on the origin aura that had long since merged with his body.
That was the aura of the highest level. It was of a higher level than the void. Naturally, he could suppress it.
"Then what if your forbidden spell kills me?" Li Xiang asked back.
The two looked at each other and smiled. They had a tacit understanding.
"If I kill you, what right do you have to listen to this secret?" Li Xiang stopped smiling and said seriously, "And we know how strong you are. Haven't we fought enough at the Great Wall of Disaster?"
Bai Dongxue smiled slightly and nodded without saying anything.
This was a secret that belonged only to the two of them.
In three years, many things had changed greatly.
Three years ago, Li Xiang quietly found Bai Dongxue and told him many secrets that he knew, including the possibility that Bai Lili might be hiding in the new world, the problems with the Emperors and the Goddess of Disaster, Lancelot's resurrection, the betrayal and redemption of the ancient warrior clans, and so on.
This even included a scroll map.
At first, Bai Dongxue was shocked and puzzled. Why did he look for him and not anyone else?
Then, Li Xiang said frankly.
"Because other than Ming Xu, you are the strongest peer I've ever met."
In his eyes, to save the seven continents from their current predicament and transform a new world, he had to gather a group of powerful new blood.
And in this group, he also needed a few people who could match him.
Bai Dongxue was undoubtedly the best choice.
The two of them had been plotting for three years. On the surface, they were like fire and water, but in reality, they had been working together for a long time. In order to fool others, they had put in a lot of effort. This included Bai Dongxue personally volunteering to hunt down Ai Yakumo and her husband. It was also for the sake of fighting Li Xiang here.
"How was my performance at the Polar night cemetery?" Bai Dongxue smiled leisurely. "You and Ming Xu always say that my acting is too stiff. I can't help it. I don't have your playful thoughts, and I don't have Ming Xu's stoic face. I can only act as I am."
"Very good. They were all fooled by us." Li Xiang laughed loudly. "Alright, tell me about the information you obtained."
"Alright, about the Army …"
Bai Dongxue immediately told him everything he knew.
Li Xiang listened very carefully. His extraordinary memory allowed him to remember everything. Sometimes, Bai Dongxue even had to take out documents to verify.
This was all confidential information between the Army and the Aristocratic Alliance. The slightest mistake could cause Li Xiang's deployment to go up in flames.
The two of them checked carefully. Then, Li Xiang told Bai Dongxue the results of Honey Pear's research.
Hearing that the new world might be at the pole, Bai Dongxue's body trembled. She suppressed her excitement and whispered, "Then we have to ensure that the ancient magic formation can be activated effectively."
"That's why I need your help. With you around, I don't have to worry about the clean-up team." Li Xiang nodded. "Including the void resources that Wanqing and the others are in charge of, I need you to coordinate them. We can't let the Army find out!"
"I'll do my best, but a large-scale fleet mobilization won't go unnoticed. Moreover, this involves superpowers like the New Polar Night and Wessex. Are you confident in transporting the void resources?" Bai Dongxue pondered for a moment and said awkwardly, "Once someone discovers my relationship with you, the efforts of the past three years will be in vain. By then, the great plan of the new world may be ruined."
"This void resource is very important to the Disaster Great Wall! It must be safely delivered to Scarlet Heavy Industries. I must create a batch of void battleships within three months to fight against them, or else … "Li Xiang took a deep breath." The seven continents will die. "
"It's that serious?"
Bai Dongxue was in disbelief.
In the past three years, he had often gone to the Disaster Great Wall to find trouble with Li Xiang. The two of them had fought hundreds of times, and it could be said that they were mortal enemies. Bai Dongxue had also taken the opportunity to understand the situation at the Disaster Great Wall.
The war there was bloody and cruel, and it was an eye-opener for him. However, under Li Xiang's control, the defense of the mechanized Disaster Great Wall was extremely high, and it was more than enough to deal with the mutant wave. The Night Watchers were also strong players, so they should not be suppressed so badly.
"Yes, because she broke through to Grade A, she might reach the Monarch rank this year. When that time comes, her promotion will require the flesh and blood of countless humans. Where do you think these lives will come from?" Li Xiang sighed.
This was a name that he was very reluctant to mention.
Bai Dongxue was horrified.
"So fast? From Grade E to Grade A in three years! "
Grade A Disaster could fight against players above Grade 6. That was the highest level, and even he and Li Xiang could not touch that level for the time being.
What did that woman called Fei Yujing rely on to level up so quickly?
What would happen if the 16th branch family and all the other families that did not look favorably on the Fei family and did not help Fei Yujing when she was at her worst were to hear this news?
Bai Dongxue found it hard to accept.
"Are you pretending to be stupid, or do you really not know? Ji Zhanxue had a private deal with her. A Disaster's promotion not only requires slaughter and devouring in the sea of stars, but also a certain opportunity. She is a Shared Eater, and she needs to hunt both Disasters and players. Disasters are easy to deal with, but where do you think she can kill players? "
Li Xiang rolled his eyes.
Bai Dongxue was horrified. He remembered the cases of low-level players inexplicably disappearing over the past three years. Some of the new players who had just graduated from the Light of Humanity or joined the various superpowers frequently disappeared while carrying out missions in the border areas. At first, they thought that it was because too many enemies from the Disaster Faction had poured into the border after the Disaster Great Wall's stronghold was destroyed.
After all, those new players did not have enough combat experience. If they really encountered a Disaster, it was very likely that they would die.
However, such frequent incidents still attracted the attention of many factions, so very few players set foot in those areas.
According to Li Xiang, it was clear that Ji Zhanxue had leaked information to the Disaster Faction, resulting in the deaths of those players.
This was treason!
"I know about the enmity between you and General Ji Zhanxue, and I don't agree with some of his personal actions. However, he is still an extremely senior player in the human faction, and he is now an absolute high-ranking member of the military. Without any evidence, you are slandering me, Li Xiang."
Bai Dongxue could not believe it.
Trading with Tarot cards, or even some Calamities, was quite common. However, when it came to trading confidential information, as well as revealing the whereabouts of other players and causing them to be killed, it was no longer a trade, but rather a betrayal.
Ji Zhanxue was now the acting deacon of the Ji Family, and he also held a high position in the military. If he could improve his cultivation, he might be able to take over General Othello's position in the future. If he reached Level 9, there was a high chance that he would either be a Black King candidate or enter the Katashafi Committee.
What was there for him to be dissatisfied with such an enviable future?
Why did he have to take such a risk and make such a treasonous deal with Fei Yujing?!
"I admit that his personal behavior is problematic, but treason …" Bai Dongxue was still unwilling to accept this information. "I know that he has a deal with Fei Yujing, but how do you know it is this? There's no evidence. How can I be convinced by your one-sided statement? "
However, he could not think of any other method that Fei Yujing could have used to surpass himself and Li Xiang in three years.
Even if it was a Shared Eater, it was still too exaggerated.
Or, as Li Xiang said, she had swallowed a large number of Disasters and players.
But if that was the case …
"If you want evidence, I have it too." Li Xiang looked at him, softly reciting the contents of the extremely confidential documents, including the files and whereabouts of some of the dead players. This was information that was absolutely sealed, and only the cleanup team had the chance to keep and know about it because they had to thoroughly investigate these suspicious points.
Bai Dongxue had been investigating these matters, but he never thought that the source was Ji Zhanxue. Now that he heard him recite these confidential documents without missing a single detail, his expression finally changed.
Li Xiang had a good memory, but that was based on the information he had read before. Being able to recite it word for word meant that he must have read it before.
However, the confidentiality of these documents was difficult even for him to access. If not for the cleanup team being entrusted with thoroughly investigating these suspicious points, he would not have been able to access these confidential documents at all.
They were all kept in the military police headquarters, and could only be accessed from the archives room by a God-level figure.
After Kou Ruhai's death, the Ten Great Army Gods became the Nine Great Army Gods. To access these documents, one had to be one of the Nine Great Army Gods, and they also had to get permission from the military police headquarters. Even if Ji Zhanxue was not the mastermind, he was an accomplice.
However, the possibility of the other eight doing such a thing was minuscule.
Some of them were even thousands of miles away, and the time of the crime did not match.
Bai Dongxue's face was ashen.
Kou Ruhai's death was a sacrifice for internal friction between the military, the aristocratic alliance, and the new Polar night, and he could accept it. Moreover, many people did not expect that cutting off a batch of supplies would lead to the collapse of the nine strongholds of the Great Wall of Calamity. If they had known the consequences would be so serious, those aristocratic families would not have foolishly participated with Ji Zhanxue.
The law could not punish the majority, and this matter could only be left unsettled. However, the aristocratic families also quieted down a lot because of this and no longer caused trouble for the Great Wall of Calamity.
This was a pile of rotten debt, and it was done out of selfishness. However, Bai Dongxue did not think that this could prove that Ji Zhanxue had colluded with the Great Wall of Calamity.
However, Li Xiang's question could no longer be avoided.
Betraying the players' information, causing the death of their most important combat force, and even creating a formidable enemy for the human camp. This was treason, real treason!
Based on this, Ji Zhanxue must have made up his mind to betray the human camp as soon as he contacted Fei Yujing. Then, the cutting off of supplies was thought-provoking.
Previously, when he said that he did not know the consequences, everyone believed him. However, Bai Dongxue did not believe him anymore.
He probably knew how important this batch of supplies was and how the war would develop because of it. It was even possible that Fei Yujing asked him to do this.
Then he was the main culprit behind the destruction of the nine strongholds!
No wonder Li Xiang's expression was so ugly. No wonder Ming Xu did not give him any face and took away Ai Yakumo and her husband. He did not even bother to put on an act!
"Ji Zhanxue … damn it." Bai Dongxue gritted his teeth.
"I hope he is not the only one who betrayed you." Li Xiang left this thought-provoking sentence and left the Void Fissure.
He knew that Fei Yujing told him this to break the peace of the human camp, but he still had to do it. He could not let Ji Zhanxue live so comfortably.
Otherwise, how could he face Kou Ruhai, who had given him the responsibility of being the Chief Instructor?
