The Level 9 players didn't expect Ming Xu to destroy the capsule and kill Bai Lili, but they didn't want her to do anything for this woman either.
Ming Xu did not care about that at all. She only wanted to revive Li Xiang. She put the metal box into her arms and walked out of the new world step by step, ignoring everyone.
She didn't even have the desire to explore the new world.
Bai Lili responded to the Level 9 players with a cold smile.
.....
At the same time, in the first meeting room on the top floor of the military headquarters building in City 0001.
Smoke lingered in the air, the smell of tobacco and coffee mixed together, and the air was filled with a faint fragrance. The door was closed, and there was a female warrior and a male warrior standing at the door. Both of them were well-equipped, and their military posture was straight. They looked solemn as they guarded the door.
There was an emergency meeting sign hanging on the door. Lieutenant Colonel Bai Shanshan paced back and forth in front of the door. She looked worried but helpless.
The participants of this emergency meeting were at least Major Generals. They were all the mainstays of Ji Zhanxue's faction. It was obviously a special meeting for Ming Xu. Ever since she joined the Military Police, it was almost impossible for her to get in touch with the new Polar night.
She, Lélie, and Bai Yuhan were the first people to contact Li Xiang. Lélie was still in the military of City 0127. Bai Yuhan had officially joined the clean-up team as the deputy captain. She had resigned from all military positions.
Bai Shanshan was a member of the Bai family. She should have worked under her third uncle's faction. However, for some reason, after some discussion, she was transferred to the Military Police.
Since the first person to appoint her was General Othello, Ji Zhanxue didn't know how to deal with Bai Shanshan. In the end, he appointed her as the deputy captain of his personal guards. He used this reason to tie her to him so that Bai Shanshan wouldn't leak any of his faction's secrets.
Bai Shanshan finally understood that she had become a sacrifice in the power struggle between the upper echelons.
The Bai family needed such a person to be their undercover agent, so naturally, they couldn't send a talented and promising descendant. They could only choose from among them, and in the end, the job fell on her head.
"Oh, fate …" She sighed.
"I'm going to the toilet. Watch me closely." Bai Shanshan waved her hand and motioned for the guards to continue patrolling near the conference room. She slipped away to the toilet to smoke and relax.
Even though she knew that they were discussing something unfavorable to Ming Xu, there was nothing she could do. She could only worry helplessly. This was really not a life for humans.
There were a total of 16 general-level high-level officials sitting in the conference room. Ji Zhanxue was sitting at the head of the table. These 15 people were the most important members of his faction. Most of them were personally promoted by him, and a small number of them were the mainstays of other cooperating forces. They also formed the Northern Lion Faction. After Kou Ruhai's death, they had defeated the Southern Eagle Faction in all important positions.
The Minister of the Military Department was still General Othello. Bai Zhun had nominated the Deputy Minister, and it was estimated that he would soon appoint him. One of them was Level 9, and the other was an important leader of the Bai family. Their positions were as stable as Mount Tai. Now, Ji Zhanxue was only aiming for the third position — the president of the Military Department Council.
The old president was a highly respected general. He was one of the first people to establish the Military Department. His strength was only Level 1, but he won in prestige and connections. The Military Department also needed such an old general to hold down the fort to balance the various forces.
But now that the younger generation, such as Chen Fan and the other outstanding successors, had risen, such an old group of people naturally had to step down.
If he could be the president of the Military Department Council and the Minister of Military Affairs at the same time, then Ji Zhanxue's authority would be much higher than that of the fourth in command, almost the same as Bai Zhun.
He was the direct subordinate of the Double Moon Overlord and the Sky-devouring Wing King. He was also one of the important characters in the entire plan to overturn the seven continents. However, he did not know that there was a deeper deal.
The two Level 9 wanted the secret above Level 9, and Lancelot wanted the last portion of the Eternal Water. Other than that, they did not have the intention to reorganize the seven continents as Ji Zhanxue had expected.
Now, the military was still backed by the Wessex and Kataszhaofei committees. One controlled the resources, and the other controlled the most Level 9 players.
With them around, even the Minister of the Military Department was just a puppet.
Ji Zhanxue was unwilling to be a puppet, so he tried his best to help them overturn the seven continents. In order to rebuild the world after the reorganization, he could be ranked very high according to seniority.
It was difficult for his strength to improve. With the gifts given by the two Level 9 players, he could forcefully break through to Level 7. That was also the limit of his cultivation. Ji Zhanxue's only pursuit was women and power.
With the latter, the former would come over to kneel and lick his boots.
Ji Zhanxue was still dreaming, and the other generals were discussing in full swing.
An old general with dry and wrinkled skin and a rotten smell came from his body. His cloudy eyes were like stagnant water as he stared at the meeting table in front of him and the document that had been flipped through countless times.
"I think …" As soon as the old general spoke, the others immediately stopped their discussion and gave him the highest respect. Ji Zhanxue, who had been daydreaming, came back to his senses and looked at him.
He was the current third in command, the Chairman of the Military Department's Council. Although his rank was not high, he was highly respected and had a lot of influence.
Although this old man was Ji Zhanxue's obstacle, he was almost everyone's teacher. It would be rude not to invite him to such a meeting. If this old man stopped him in all aspects, Ji Zhanxue would be very upset.
"Dong Ling and Ming Xu have gone to the new world. There are Level 9 players there, so she can't do anything. If we force her, it will only make the Military Department and Dong Ling's family enemies. It's not worth it. You guys are guessing that her return is related to Li Xiang's death. Don't tell me that she can bring someone back from the dead? "
The old chairman frowned and decided to reject Ji Zhanxue's suggestion.
He couldn't bring himself to mobilize half of the Military Department's power to deal with a little girl.
The other generals also looked troubled. This was indeed a loss of status. Dong Ling and Ming Xu were only Level 5 players. This was clearly used to deal with players above Level 7.
Even if she was very powerful, this was still overestimating her.
Ji Zhanxue cursed the old man in his heart. He didn't mean to target Dong Ling and Ming Xu, but this was an order from above!
The atmosphere in the conference room gradually became tense. There was an argument and it quickly escalated. The generals quarreled until sparks flew everywhere. No one was willing to back down. The old president sitting at the head of the table looked at Ji Zhanxue meaningfully and suddenly asked in a low voice, "Zhanxue, don't tell me there are higher-ups controlling this order?"
Ji Zhanxue was shocked. He couldn't reveal his relationship with the two Level 9 players so directly. He looked guiltily at the old chairman and smiled. "How could it be? The minister is still in the New World. Other than him, who else can give me orders?"
"Hehe, Blood Slayer, I may be old, but my eyes aren't playing tricks on me. Level 9 is still unknown in the new world, but there are already people who are starting to get restless, preparing to do some shady business that doesn't care about their lives. My strength is weak, compared to you rising stars, I'm just an old fart. But my only strength is that I've lived long enough. Long enough, I've seen enough. "
The old chairman suddenly sighed and looked up at Ji Zhanxue.
"It just so happens that there are some things that only the living know how terrible they are. Zhanxue, I watched you grow up. You're also the most pretentious one among the kids back then. If you give up this plan now, I'll resign as chairman of the Military Department's Council tomorrow. How about it? "
Ji Zhanxue's heart skipped a beat when he heard his words.
What benefits had this old guy been promised? He was actually willing to exchange so much power for Ming Xu's life?!
Ji Zhanxue looked at him and said lightly, "Sorry, old chairman. This plan can't be abandoned. We'll start it today."
"Okay, then I'll leave first. Zhanxue, I'll leave you with an old saying: God is watching what you do."
"Many unrighteous deeds … are doomed to destruction."
The door was suddenly pushed open. The two soldiers at the door were shocked. Seeing that it was an old general, they immediately bowed.
The old chairman closed the door. Just as he was about to leave, he saw the two soldiers following him. He stopped and said coldly, "What, you want to follow this old guy to the toilet?"
"We wouldn't dare!" The two lowered their heads.
He walked slowly to the toilet.
Bai Shanshan was smoking by the sink outside. Smoke curled around her. Her beautiful figure was wrapped in the military uniform, full of temptation.
"Old, old general!" Bai Shanshan saw the old man and quickly put out the cigarette in her hand.
The old chairman looked at her with a half-smile. After a while, he said leisurely, "The little girl from the Bai family?"
"Yes, Bai Shanshan of the Bai family. She's currently the deputy leader of the military police's personal guards. She's a lieutenant colonel." She respectfully saluted. When she was young, she had seen her third uncle drinking tea with this old general. At that time, she was just a little girl.
"You're the little girl who used to follow Ah Zhun around. Haha, you're all grown up now. You're really beautiful." The old chairman laughed.
She didn't expect him to remember her. Bai Shanshan nodded excitedly.
"But you can't smoke casually in the military headquarters. Be careful next time." The old chairman stopped smiling and took out a wrinkled cigar from his jacket pocket. "But you also need to relax. Your cigarette is mixed with stimulants. Smoke less and try mine."
"Thank you, old general!" Bai Shanshan took the cigar. When she looked up, the old chairman had already left with his hands behind his back.
She was quite addicted to smoking. Everyone in the military police knew that as soon as the old general left, she couldn't wait to light the cigar. As soon as she took a puff, Bai Shanshan frowned.
She took the cigar and gently pushed aside the outer layer. She was surprised to see that there was a shallow layer inside.
.....
On the other side, Ming Xu had just left the new world when the entrance to the passageway closed.
The various superpowers and the military had worked together to weave a fine net. With the Origin Tide as the core, it quickly expanded and covered half of the continent in the blink of an eye.
The plan to hunt Ming Xu down was immediately launched. As if they had guessed when she would leave, many powers gathered. The New Polar Night and the army that the Dong Ling family had just set out to support her quickly encountered a large number of obstacles and found it difficult to move forward.
This resistance was unexpectedly strong. There were many players among them, and they blocked their people in an instant.
The First Lady had been recuperating after the battle with the Double Moon Lord. The other members of the Dong Ling family didn't dare to act rashly. The support of the Dong Ling family suddenly weakened.
Sophia immediately sent the Rose Maid Squad out for Ming Xu and Li Xiang.
However, as soon as the Rose Maid Squad moved out, dozens of Aristocratic Family Alliance players who had been living in seclusion were waiting for them. They couldn't get away for a while.
Three days had passed, and there were constantly people who secretly helped the New Polar Night. However, the other party's plan was even more precise and strict. They had calculated every step.
This meant that the other party must have predicted this situation in advance and had made careful arrangements. This person couldn't be Ji Zhanxue. He didn't have such great ability or power.
All eyes were on the two Level-9 players.
They were submissive when fighting against disasters, but they dealt a heavy blow when dealing with their own people.
What did Ming Xu bring back from the New World? Why did the two of them value it so much?
Only Fei Yujing, who was far away in the galaxy, knew that Lancelot didn't plan to let Ming Xu live from the moment he dealt with Li Xiang.
He had planned step by step to guide Ming Xu to the New World to get the Eternal Water and then snatch it.
At this point, Ming Xu should have realized that something was wrong. He should have known that this was a trap to kill her. Fei Yujing even thought that Ming Xu should have expected this the moment she mentioned this method.
In the end, she still went without hesitation!
In order to save Li Xiang, she was willing to die just because there was a possibility!
Why? Compared to the effect of the Eternal Water, Fei Yujing wanted to know why Ming Xu would do this for her!
The plan that the old president had given Bai Shanshan was actually only a small part of the hunting plan. He didn't expect the chain reaction to be so big.
Almost half of the Royal Family Alliance and countless other forces were mobilized.
Just to deal with a girl who wanted to save the person she liked!
He guessed that Ji Zhanxue and the others were planning something big because there might be two Level-9 players behind them. He could only choose to protect himself. He thought that this plan could more or less help Ming Xu, but now it seemed that it was just a drop in the ocean.
On the vast plain, a faintly discernible figure was moving rapidly. She was arching her body and constantly using shadow secret techniques to avoid all kinds of possible enemies. Using the undulating long grass and scattered trees to hide her figure, she continued to run wildly.
Ming Xu's clothes were torn in many places. Some of the wounds were so deep that bones could be seen. Even with her Enhanced Regeneration, it was difficult to heal quickly. Three days. In just three days, she had encountered hundreds of large-scale ambushes.
There were even Level-6 players among them.
Three days without sleep had drained her energy. The hand that held the Lunar Shadow Frost was covered in blood. Her expression was calm as if the ambushes were within her expectations.
Kill people, escape, kill people, escape …
She felt like she was a child again, hunting in the wilderness alone. There were no friends, no communication, nothing. There were only enemies and killing.
There were pursuers on land, sea, and air. She didn't dare to trust any of her former friends. Not long ago, someone from Dong Ling's family betrayed her.
Compared to the countless forces in the seven continents, her support was pitifully small. Absolute allies like the New Polar Night and Chen Fan were surrounded by at least three times the number of enemies, not giving them a chance to help Ming Xu.
She looked up at the sky, took a deep breath, and continued running.
