National Guardian's Gone and We're Done

Because he understood the stakes involved,

Florian decisively took the remaining members of the Werewolf Clan into hiding, going completely silent.

They were like a pack of phantoms lurking in the shadows, awaiting the perfect moment to strike.

In that fierce battle with the Vampire Clan,

the Vampire Clan had also paid a heavy price. They, too, needed time to rest and recuperate to recover their strength.

And Florian was using this lull,

to meticulously devise an even more brutal plan—one that would leave his opponents with no chance of survival.

He was like an avenger honing his blade in the dark,

waiting only for the opportune moment to deliver a fatal blow to his enemies.

"Is Uzi the only one who came from the Human Race Supremacy Association?"

Ye Lingyun knew full well that the Human Race Supremacy Association had other powerful members.

Each one of them was dangerously unpredictable,

like venomous snakes hidden in the shadows, ready to strike a deadly blow at any moment.

"Based on the intelligence we’ve gathered so far, it seems he’s the only one.

However, Florian is still spending a fortune to hire other organizations and individual operatives to bolster his own forces.

Therefore, we can’t be certain if other experts from the Human Race Supremacy Association are hiding among them."

The young Vampire Clan member reported respectfully,

his eyes filled with gravity and worry. He could already sense that a more brutal storm was on the horizon.

"I understand. You’re dismissed."

Ye Lingyun gave a slight nod.

After the young Vampire Clan members had quietly departed,

Xiao Cangqing immediately strode out from the side.

His face was etched with anxiety as he said urgently, "That Uzi is a complete and utter madman.

He’s definitely up to no good by coming here.

I’m certain the person Uzi resents most right now is Chu He.

He’s come all this way, and he’s aiming for you.

You’ve never fought Uzi, so you have no idea just how terrifying that guy is.

Last time, Chu He clearly killed him, but now he’s returned from the dead, making a comeback.

He must have achieved some new breakthrough or advancement in his power,

which is why he’s so brazen. He’s like a Demon that’s broken its chains, about to unleash a storm of blood and slaughter upon the world."

"Are you scared?"

Ye Lingyun’s gaze was indifferent as she glanced at Xiao Cangqing.

Her look was like a cold blade, as if it could pierce right through to his heart.

Xiao Cangqing gave a wry smile and admitted frankly, "When it’s a matter of life and death, it would be a lie to say I’m not scared.

I suggest you inform your teacher, Chu He, about the situation here immediately.

Only he can resolve this crisis.

Otherwise, you alone are no match for Uzi and Florian.

Besides, based on the latest intelligence we just heard,

Florian is still recruiting other experts to back him up.

Florian already gauged your strength during your last fight, so his preparations this time are bound to be airtight.

This generation’s Werewolf Clan Leader is different from his predecessors.

In the past, most Werewolves were simple-minded brutes with strong limbs,

only knowing how to charge in recklessly and act on impulse.

But this one is meticulous and cannot be underestimated."

Xiao Cangqing made no attempt to hide his fear.

In the past, he might have put on a brave face for the sake of his pride, pretending to be more capable than he was,

but now, not even a tenth of his former power remained.

The confidence that fueled his old arrogance had long since vanished,

and he was keenly aware of his current predicament.

If anything were to happen to Ye Lingyun and the Vampire Clan,

he would surely fall into Uzi’s hands. The thought of Uzi’s crazed actions

couldn’t help but cast a dark shadow over Xiao Cangqing’s heart,

enveloping him in a terrifying shadow, as if from a Demon itself.

"I know."

Ye Lingyun also sensed the gravity of the situation.

After Xiao Cangqing left the room,

she quickly summoned the agent that the Great Xia Empire Defense Team headquarters had planted there.

She gave the agent the detailed intelligence and ordered them to relay it to Chu He immediately,

adding that it would be best to arrange for Chu He to come in secret.

This would allow him to catch their enemies by surprise and execute a stunning counterattack, turning the unfavorable tide of battle.

...

「Several days passed in a flash.」

Gao Liceng, Yumizakura, Nalan Fengshan, Xiao Yu, Nanting Snow, Lin Zuoguang, and the others returned, leading their teams. They arrived travel-worn and weary.

Their faces showed signs of fatigue, and they all bore wounds from battle, some more serious than others.

Some wounds were still slowly oozing blood,

while others had already scabbed over.

Fortunately, none of the injuries were critical or life-threatening.

Though wounded, the group returned in high spirits.

Their eyes shone with the resolve and pride that comes from being forged in the fires of war.

In their fierce clashes with the Dark Holy See,

they had endured immense pressure,

like ships navigating a raging storm, at constant risk of being swallowed by the tumultuous waves.

Fortunately, after numerous real battles,

their coordination with one another had become increasingly seamless and proficient.

They had become comrades-in-arms who fought shoulder to shoulder, seeming to share a single mind.

They successfully defeated one deranged member of the Dark Holy See after another.

In these life-or-death struggles,

every one of them had gained a great deal.

Whether in terms of combat skills or teamwork,

they had made significant strides, and their strength had risen to a new level.

"Boss, you’re back!"

The moment Gao Liceng saw Chu He,

his eyes filled with astonishment.

He had thought Chu He was still busy in Haitong City and never expected to see him here.

"Is everything taken care of?"

Chu He gave a slight nod, then asked with a firm gaze,

his eyes revealing both concern for the outcome and apprehension about the overall situation.
