Chapter 545 The Seventh State

The torrential rain in Tianjin was barely stopping when vandals took advantage of the chaos to cause trouble, prompting law enforcement to pursue them in the dark.

By dawn, the mess left by the fierce battle at the Tianjin Port had been cleaned up by law enforcement officers from the Special Affairs Center of the Public Security Bureau.

As dawn breaks, this place will return to its normal operation.

Amidst the continuous sound of rain, a young officer with waist-length hair stood tall and composed, methodically arranging the detention, transportation, and subsequent investigation of the convicts.

Ye Xiaojing stood there in the wind and rain, her body marked with the scars of battle, yet there was no sign of fatigue in her eyes. Her words were concise and her tone resolute, and her fair complexion and beautiful face were particularly charming under the starlight.

The sudden crisis in Jinping City has been temporarily resolved.

As the number two figure and security minister of the Tianjin Special Affairs Center, she has lived up to her mission, safeguarding the city's stability at a time when the city's high-end combat capabilities are lacking.

"call……"

After arranging the follow-up work, Ye Xiaojing sighed softly and was about to move on...

"boom--"

Just then, a loud bang suddenly came from a direction behind us!
Ye Xiaojing suddenly turned around, her clear pupils suddenly constricting.

That direction leads to Jiang Qian's house...

As a powerful figure at the peak of the five states, Ye Xiaojing's keen perception allowed her to pinpoint the location of the incident through the sound of the explosion, which was so close to the location of the Jiang family in her memory!
what happened? !

At this time, what hidden crises in Jinping City had not yet been brought under her surveillance?
Could this be a desperate, all-or-nothing tactic by the enemy?

If so, then the nearby residents...

These thoughts flashed through Ye Xiaojing's mind.

Almost without hesitation, her words were transmitted to the squad leaders via communication devices: "Locate the explosion location. Squads two and three are to depart immediately and accompany me to investigate. On-site command is transferred to the squad leader of squad one..."

However, before she could finish speaking, another loud bang was heard, exploding in the industrial area near the port!
"boom--"

"Boom boom——"

Explosions came one after another, and surprisingly, after the first explosion, there were a series of astonishing explosions.

Ye Xiaojing's figure stopped there.

Aside from the initial explosion that occurred in a more distant residential area, the subsequent bombings were scattered and converged around the port. The enemy's intention was likely to disperse their forces, creating an opportunity for the detainees awaiting arrest!
Following the failed terrorist attack in Tianjin, the remaining members of the opposing force appeared to want to preserve their strength and escape by sea amidst the chaos.

Things became tricky, and she couldn't "use her position for personal gain" in this situation.

what to do……

"Minister?!" The various teams in the security department were still waiting for her new instructions.

Ye Xiaojing was still staring at the spot where the explosion had first occurred.

Suddenly, a fierce storm descended!

An invisible and traceless hurricane suddenly descended from the sky, its scale large enough to cover the entire Tianjin port area, firmly "suppressing" the surrounding explosion zone!
Then the fire went out, the noise subsided, as if a giant hand that blotted out the sky had suppressed all the turmoil.

A figure landed proudly on the building closest to Ye Xiaojing.

As night fell, Ji Ming was no longer the dazzling blond hair and burgundy suit he usually wore; he was only wearing a slightly thin jacket, with blue and white striped clothes faintly visible underneath…

"Go ahead," he said.

Before Ye Xiaojing could speak, Ji Ming had already agreed: "I will now take over the situation at Tianjin Port."

……

"...Thank you!"

Ye Xiaojing paused for a moment, then immediately set off.

The newly appointed head of the Jinping Special Affairs Center, Ji Ming, a sixth-level divine officer, personally oversaw the situation in Jin Port, completely relieving her of any worries at this moment.

A strong wind roared past my ears, and the scenery before my eyes rushed by.

Ye Xiaojing sped up like a shooting star, heading straight for the place she longed for.

Her parents are both working abroad and are currently under the protection of state institutions, so their lives are not in immediate danger. Her only concerns in Tianjin are her licensed colleagues and those connected to Jiang Qian.

Although Jiang Qian had previously stated that his family did not need to worry, after all, the "Great Protector" was at home at the moment.

But she still couldn't feel at ease.

She herself had struggled on the edge of mutation and corruption, and had personally experienced the impact of mutation crises on a person.

Could something unexpected happen?

She knew those guys... those unruly remnants who were trying to take advantage of the situation and sabotage Tsinpei, were masters of trickery!

They might not be able to defeat a renowned and powerful figure in a full-scale battle, but it's not entirely impossible to use despicable means to restrain them and then take advantage of their distraction to harm a few ordinary people who don't possess superhuman strength...

That is the real danger that Jiang Qian's family is currently facing!
And Jiang Qian's family... are really all very good.

She was treated very well...

The rapidly passing scenery before her eyes intertwined with the memories in Ye Xiaojing's mind.

Upon their first meeting, the aunt, who had considerable insight into culinary arts, took an immediate liking to her, offering meticulous guidance and gifts, as if she had already accepted her as one of her own…

Although the "Grandma" of the Jiang family was somewhat strict at first, that strictness was actually filled with the old woman's deep care and love for her grandchildren.

Some people, though old and frail, can still provide shelter for their children and grandchildren.

This inevitably reminded Ye Xiaojing of the nights she spent alone in an empty house when she was a child. If there had been such a calm and determined old man living in her home, would her childhood have been less lonely, and would her personality have been much more cheerful?
And Jiang Qian's sister...

Ye Xiaojing thought of Yu Xuan, and of his stunning beauty that even she found breathtaking, and a complex feeling welled up in her heart.

She will never forget the care she received during her isolation and treatment, or the anonymous letter she received... A letter that revealed many secrets.

Such an older sister, with such an extraordinary background... yet she was surprisingly easy to get along with.

Not only did she show no arrogance on the surface, but how could she forget the care she received behind the scenes?

This family...

Such a kind, lovely, and down-to-earth family...

How could she allow them to make any mistakes or leave any regrets!
A cold wind brushed my face.

The smoke from the explosion irritated my sense of smell.

Ye Xiaojing saw the familiar street scene, but she was stunned.

She was familiar with this environment; she had lived nearby when she was secretly protecting Qianlong Wuyong. The streets, vegetation, and facilities here were all etched in her memory.

No change can escape her eyes.

But now, as she sees it... the entire residential area where the Jiang family lives, including several surrounding residential areas, has been sealed inside a "castle" carved from solid ice!
The ice layer was crystal clear, making it difficult to discern its thickness at first glance, but Ye Xiaojing had no doubt about its defensive capabilities.

Because, right at the top of this ice castle, traces of the explosion still remain, not yet washed away by the rain...

Perhaps that was the residue from the explosion she first heard.

Clearly, someone attempted to break through the ice in a brutal manner to persecute this area and certain individuals, but failed.

The ice castle was almost "unharmed".

Ye Xiaojing remembered that the "Great Protector's" natural power was related to ice and snow, which was the true teaching of Jiang Qian's father, who could turn snow into plum blossoms.

Slightly relieved.

Just as they were about to synchronize information with the two teams that were about to arrive, suddenly, a putrid smell wafted through the rain curtain and into their nostrils.

Thus, an instinctive sense of alarm crept into my mind.

Ye Xiaojing's gaze slowly turned to the side following the fair face as she silently surveyed the edge of the ice castle. When her eyes fell on a shadowy spot on the ground, her pupils constricted!
underground!

She quickly synchronized the information and then jumped into the shadows without hesitation.

The Jiang family's neighborhood is in a very good location, with complete surrounding infrastructure and close to schools. It is one of the most prosperous neighborhoods in Jinping City.

The fact that such a massive ice castle could shelter such a complex area speaks volumes about the power of that "Great Protector".

Beyond physical defense, the ice fortress's coverage area also has a "hypnotic" effect to prevent people traveling at night in the rain from being unnecessarily frightened.

"They really put a lot of effort into this..." Ye Xiaojing thought to herself.

Upon entering the interior of the Ice Castle, Ye Xiaojing immediately sensed being "watched," but there was no hostility.

It is clear that the "Great Protector" is still in a very good position.

Without hesitation, Ye Xiaojing headed straight for Jiang Qian's house. However, at that very moment, a huge spider web descended from the sky, hovering less than a meter above Ye Xiaojing's head as she retreated and looked up!

"..." Ye Xiaojing raised his head and stared coldly at the woman standing on the spider web.

The exotic dress couldn't conceal her curvaceous figure, and her deep, three-dimensional features were framed by a pair of captivating eyes, making her alluring and seductive in the dim night.

The two looked at each other in silence.

The huge spider web hanging above Ye Xiaojing's head had withered like an autumn leaf, and would disappear with a gust of wind.

"Peacock Spider"

Ye Xiaojing called out the name she hadn't paid attention to for a long time: "Ayiguli?"

She had already discovered that within the area covered by the ice fortress, countless spider webs were serving a basic security function; and they were not being rejected by the people who controlled the place.

That "Great Protector," just as he tacitly allowed her to enter the Ice Fortress alone, tacitly approved of the existence of the Peacock Spider...

"Ayishamu".

The spiderweb dissipated, but the peacock spider, still suspended in mid-air, spoke, then casually pulled from the void. Instantly, a gigantic cocoon-like object, as large as a two-story building, flew swiftly from afar and precisely stopped in front of Ye Xiaojing:
"The people you're looking for are all here."

With a flick of her finger, light and shadow materialized inside the giant cocoon wrapped in layers of white spider silk, revealing countless unconscious "people."

Those people, those faces... who else could they be but the remnants of the disorderly gang on the wanted list?

Ye Xiaojing remained silent for a moment before quietly accepting this "generous gift".

She certainly knew the strength of these people; the Peacock Spider alone, as a fully-formed card holder, was definitely not enough to handle them. The "Great Protector" must have also taken action.

Thinking of this, Ye Xiaojing took one last deep look at the figure hovering in the air.

Looking at her alluring yet slightly bewildered face, and at the flame-like markings on her shoulders and arms not concealed by her dress, I suddenly recalled the tragic rumors about the "cursed girl" in the Peacock Spider case file...

Then, considering everything that happened afterward...

So that's how it is. It was that older sister from the Jiang family who subdued her… Ye Xiaojing couldn't help but think:

Is the current peacock spider a result of eliminating "Aygul" or a combination of both?
But she didn't intend to delve into the answer.

For Ye Xiaojing now, ensuring the safety of the Jiang family is the top priority. And she has already achieved her goal.

So, what about Jiang Qian?

How is he now? Is he alright?
……

Northwest, the King's Nest on a sheer cliff.

At the edge of the sky shrouded by the Starry Dragon Formation, a "Magpie Bridge" is hidden in the clouds.

Under the protection of Elders Zhuhe and Queqiaoxian, Yu Xuan watched the various changes within the great formation with tears welling up in his eyes.

Since her encounter with Jiang Qian last year, she hadn't felt the power of her "younger brother" for a very, very long time...

She almost forgot his strength and power, as well as the talent and temperament that so deeply attracted her.

Before Jiang Qian arrived on the battlefield, she once thought that she would live a life full of regrets.

Even though the longing never ceases, this final farewell is one that may never be seen again.

But Jiang Qian always gave her a miracle.

Originally, that was all she hoped for, but when the miracle happened, she hoped for more—that he would live! To live well and uphold the belief that belonged only to Jiang Qian.

She wanted to take responsibility for all the bad things, to end them herself, and to stop the trouble altogether.

As the winds and thunders raged, the world was turned upside down!
Observe the invisible struggle, the fusion of momentum and power...

There were many moments when her heart was torn for Jiang Qian, and the flame of hope burned brightly between its dying embers.

Even now, I still cannot find peace of mind.

Therefore, her gaze remained fixed on the Starry Sky Dragon Formation and on Jiang Qian... Even if they were far apart, they would share weal and woe and honor and disgrace.

This scene lingered in Jin Yichen's eyes for a long time.

Yu Xuan was looking at Jiang Qian, while Jin Yichen was also looking at Yu Xuan.

He was very close to Yu Xuan, so he could easily observe her deep affection, anxiety, and expectations.

In the past, he would probably have been furious and would never have tolerated his beloved looking at other men like that!
That was a serious provocation, even an insult, to him!
But now, his heart is not stirred at all.

Because of his failure.

In this fiercely contested battle, he lost...

They lost miserably.

They even needed someone like Yu Xuan... who was still recovering from injuries sustained during the Ash Cleanup Operation, to protect them from being slaughtered!
Jin Yichen remained relatively clear-headed. Faced with the reality of victory or defeat, he could only hate himself for not being competitive enough.

His gaze left Yu Xuan's back and looked further into the distance... at the center of the Starry Dragon Formation, at the young figure.

At this moment, his emotions were very complicated...

He seemed to have lost his temper and regained a sense of enlightenment.

That was a sense of awe and gratitude for the harsh reality.

He was even grateful to Qianlong Wuyong for his heroic "descent from the sky"! Simply because Qianlong Wuyong had done what he had failed to do and prevented what he feared would happen.

……

At this moment, Jiang Qian's true form, located at the center of the Starry Dragon Formation, slowly opened his eyes.

They met Yun Zhuo's surprised gaze.

"You lost."

A brief reminder brought Yunzhuo Ganglamedo back to his senses!

His face, deeply contorted by his scars, twitched slightly, and finally, the strange twitching transformed into a near-manic laugh! It resounded throughout the star-studded array:
"Hahaha! Hahahaha..."

The laughter came abruptly, but Jiang Qian didn't seem surprised.

So he continued, "I guess you're wondering why you're still alive even though you've already lost to me? It's simple, because I've hidden the real rules of winning from you."

The area of ​​the dome of the grand array affected by the conceptual "flaw" was slowly repairing itself, and the laughter abruptly stopped.

Yun Zhuo Ganglamedo stared sharply at Jiang Qian.

"Actually, my winning conditions are the same as yours. From the beginning, there was no bias in the rules of the magic circle, and the lawful officials will not go to any lengths to win like you did."

Jiang Qian calmly explained:

"Therefore, I follow the same rules as you, and I must defeat you six times in a row to have a chance to kill you. It's not like what I said at the beginning, where I only need to defeat you once to take control of the rules and do whatever I want."

“What…” Yun Zhuo Ganglamedo’s gaze darkened, and his entire demeanor dimmed considerably.

This action seems to be a baffling move!
However, only a few strong individuals could grasp the meaning instantly. Jiang Qian did this to use this information gap to interfere with Yun Zhuo's judgment of the "optimal solution," and thus spent a lot of time avoiding any fatal defeat.

time does not wait.

The longer it drags on, the more daunting the Asura army's morale will become!

This psychological tactic also places extremely high demands on Jiang Qian. He needs to withstand immense pressure to delay the enemy in the early stages, control the situation in the middle stages, and then win the comeback in the later stages.

Any unexpected event could lead to failure.

It's practically a gamble!
However, supported by reliable skills and a strong mind, he won the gamble.

Now, Jiang Qian has the upper hand, while Yun Zhuo is already in a losing position and has lost his original demeanor.

But Yun Zhuo was, after all, an exceptionally strong individual, and faced with the fait accompli, he gradually calmed down.

He looked around, a sinister smile on his face: "So your purpose from the very beginning wasn't about the outcome of the battle within the magic array... Kid, you've really gone to great lengths!"

Jiang Qian replied with conviction: "Faced with a 'blasphemer' who sweeps across all realms, who would dare to be negligent?"

Blasphemers are clearly a satire of Yunzhuo Ganglamedo's self-proclaimed status as a god.

Upon hearing this, Yun Zhuo couldn't help but chuckle.
"So what now? All the clones have been defeated, and the battle is still undecided. Do you still dream of wasting another round of my time?" At this moment, Yun Zhuo's tone seemed to indicate that he had accepted reality and was rallying his forces with a mental fortitude that was hard for ordinary people to imagine!

Despite the impending defeat, we must fight to the very end.

"Of course, as long as the outcome is undecided, and as long as the Starry Dragon Formation remains unbroken, we must continue fighting round after round. However, the current round is far from over..."

As Jiang Qian spoke, his gaze was fixed on Yun Zhuo Ganglamedo's true form:
"We both know very well that the sixth state is far from the pinnacle of transspecies evolution."
