The job change is a bizarre and calamity; the nation begs me to tone it down.

The expressions on everyone's faces changed instantly.

Then, they all looked up.

Above the sky, the first thing that catches the eye is a vast expanse of flowing black shadow.

The shadow covered half the sky, a dark and oppressive mass, which at first glance looked like dark clouds looming overhead.

But upon closer inspection... those weren't dark clouds at all.

That was the shadow of the ghost sedan chair.

The Styx Ghost Carriage emerged from the shadows, its red mist swirling like ribbons in the air.

Small tassels hung from the four corners of the sedan chair's roof, still emitting a faint, cold light in the sunlight.

The vengeful ghosts lined up in two rows, dressed in tattered red wedding attire, playing suonas and gongs, carrying various underworld dowries, forming a long, winding dragon that swept across the sky in a grand procession.

The scale was enormous.

Behind the ghost sedan chair, three figures followed closely.

Wang Cang was in the center, with Tang Yi and Ge Lao on his left and right, respectively, and the three of them stood in the void.

It streaked across the sky at an extremely high speed.

Although all three were covered in injuries of varying degrees, they were in exceptionally high spirits.

"It's the Legion Commander!!!"

Upon seeing this, Jiang Shu was first stunned, and then let out another scream.

He jumped up again.

At the same time, he stared intently at the ghost sedan chair that emerged from the shadows.

His expression was almost like he'd won the lottery jackpot.

The special operations team members on guard around the area also saw the movement in the sky at almost the same time.

To be honest, if they hadn't known beforehand that these were their own people...

Just look at this display.

The sky was filled with fierce ghosts, the chilling sound of suona horns, and the bridal sedan chair exuding an eerie aura.

Their first reaction would definitely be to sound the battle alarm.

But at this moment, no one made any move.

Everyone stood quietly in place, looking up at the "special team" in the sky.

His eyes were filled with an indescribable awe.

They knew who was sitting in that sedan chair.

I also know that the person just did something that will go down in history.

The higher-dimensional secret realm was brought back by him.

Li Weiguo and Zhang Daoxuan stood side by side, watching the bridal sedan chair plummet from the sky.

Their eyes lit up simultaneously.

The suona horn grew closer and closer, and the ghosts escorting the bride automatically dispersed as they approached the ground, lining up on both sides. Red mist spread across the ground, like a red carpet from the underworld laid out for the bridal sedan chair.

The ghost sedan chair came to a steady, clanging stop.

Then, the sedan curtain was lifted from the inside by a hand.

Gu Xu came out from inside.

He was still wearing that military uniform, even though he had been through a whole battle in the secret realm.

But there wasn't a single wrinkle on his body.

After walking out, he first stretched and moved his neck, making two crisp "crack" sounds.

Then, he looked around.

Zhang Daoxuan is here.

Li Weiguo is here.

Su Qiong is here.

Jiang Shu is here.

Goodness, the lineup is complete.

So, the commander of the Calamity Army, who had just crushed 30,000 God Realm Terminators with one foot in the high-dimensional secret realm and wiped out the numerical monster with 120 billion HP like a cigarette butt, slowly grinned.

He revealed an extremely harmless smile.

"Oh? It's rare to see everyone here?"

However, Gu Xu's "Yo ho" had barely landed when none of the important figures present could respond.

A petite figure darted out from the crowd.

Its speed was comparable to the charge of those Star Piercers just now.

"Commander!"

Jiang Shu's loud voice was a direct blow to everyone's eardrums. She was like a cannonball, spreading her arms and lunging at Gu Xu.

The scene was just like a heroine in an idol drama rushing towards her long-lost lover, all that was missing was a spotlight and slow-motion replay in the background.

However, what level is Gu Xu's reaction speed?

That's something that can be crushed with a single stomp in a high-dimensional secret realm, even against monsters with 120 billion HP.

So, just as Jiang Shu's fingertips were about to touch the collar of his military uniform, Gu Xu took a light step back.

The movements were fluid and efficient, without any hesitation or delay.

Jiang Shu missed her target and staggered forward two steps due to inertia, almost falling to the ground.

Fortunately, she reacted quickly, stopping abruptly to regain her balance.

Then she turned around, looking aggrieved.

Gu Xu, hands in his pockets, looked at her expression and said speechlessly, "Hey, Chief of Staff Jiang, can you stop acting like an NPC?"

"what?"

Jiang Shu was stunned for a moment.

"Does this happen every time I come back?"

Gu Xu pointed at her, his tone full of disdain: "Is your script only one page long? It's just the same action over and over again?"

"If I were even a fraction of a second slower, would you hang yourself around my neck?"

"Believe it or not, if you pounce again, I'll have the Ghost Bride come and get you!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shu's entire body seemed to freeze in place, as if someone had pressed the pause button.

The image of the ghost bride's pale, beautiful face and the smile instantly flashed into her mind.

A chill ran from the soles of my feet straight to the top of my head.

"Um... I was wrong, Commander."

Jiang Shuqian chuckled, reluctantly withdrawing his hand, his expression shifting from agitation to ingratiating: "I'll be more careful next time, I definitely will be more careful next time."

Seeing this, Gu Xu nodded in satisfaction.

I thought to myself, "Fine, at least it's quiet now."

However, it was at this very moment...

The sound of synchronized footsteps echoed around them.

The special operations team members responsible for the security and blockade, including members of several professional teams that had just arrived, were all stunned the moment they saw Gu Xu step out of the ghost sedan chair.

Almost reflexively, everyone stood at attention at the same time.

Then: "Welcome back, Commander Gu!"

Countless voices converged into a torrent, soaring straight into the sky.

How loud was the sound?

The echoes from the distant valley reverberated several times.

Gu Xu stared at the scene before him, momentarily stunned.

Then, he dropped his nonchalant expression and became serious for once.

He straightened up, raised his right hand, and returned the greeting in a standard manner.

The movements were swift and decisive, without the slightest hint of perfunctoriness.

Although he is usually lazy and would rather lie down than sit.

But there are some things he never neglects.

For example, this respect.

After the salute was given, the special operations team members lowered their hands, but one of them still had a burning passion in his eyes.

At this moment, Zhang Daoxuan and Li Weiguo also quickly came to greet them.

The two approached, first looking at Wang Cang and the other two who were descending from the sky behind Gu Xu, then simultaneously raised their hands and saluted again.

"Thank you for your hard work, seniors!"

Li Weiguo spoke first, his voice loud and clear, his tone full of respect.

Zhang Daoxuan nodded in agreement: "Elder Wang, Senior Tang, Senior Ge, you must be tired from your journey."

Then, both of their eyes turned to Gu Xu.

"Commander Gu!"

Li Weiguo's voice rose a few decibels, and he couldn't suppress his smile: "Thank you for your hard work!"
