All-out: Starting with the Awakening Special Operations Unit, search, attack, and withdrawal.

A loving father?

Everyone looked completely bewildered.

However, this confusion was short-lived. The moment they realized that the old Earl Rong An in front of them actually claimed to be a "member of the Black Hole Council," everyone's hearts jumped into their throats.

The rumbling of thunder echoed from the sky.

The terrifying vortex of dark thunderclouds seemed to be vying with the Hanging Dragon City above Xialong Base City.

One after another, swift and terrifying figures rushed toward Chu Hong from all directions with sharp whooshing sounds, while thunderclouds had already formed overhead.

Although these powerful figures of the Great Xia had never heard of the fact that a 109th member had appeared in addition to the 108 members of the infamous Black Hole Council.

But this "Old Earl Rong'an" in front of me is definitely up to no good.

"Grab him first! Let's all attack!"

A rope, gleaming with dazzling golden light, hurtled towards Chu Hong with lightning speed, like a sharp bolt of lightning.

Meanwhile, other figures appeared from all directions, blocking all possible escape routes for "Old Earl Rong'an".

They looked like they were about to capture him alive on the spot.

Xia Pingwei stared intently at the "Old Earl Rong'an" in front of him, a golden eye-shaped pendant around his neck glowing red.

however.

At this moment, the "Old Earl Rong'an" in front of him still showed no flaws.

Even he, the biological son, couldn't figure out what the problem was, as if... his dead father had really come back to life.

A vicious killing intent flashed in Xia Pingwei's eyes.

No matter who it is or what methods they use, they dared to humiliate the Rong'an Earl's Mansion in front of the noble circle of Xialong Base City today. Xia Pingwei will absolutely not let this guy get away with it.

however.

The red-quality [Dragon Binding Rope] was about to bind this bastard in front of them.

The moment when Xia Pingwei's killing intent was at its strongest.

It happened abruptly and suddenly.

Without anyone knowing who made the move, and without even sensing any strange energy fluctuations in the surroundings, the [Dragon Binding Rope] entered within about ten meters of "Old Earl Rong'an".

It paused instantly, as if time had been paused.

Suspended in mid-air, the energy source still emitted a golden light.

"For the peace of Great Xia, for the sake of winning a peaceful environment for Great Xia from the beast tides of the shattered secret realm and the frequent attacks from various countries, I have risked my entire fortune and even my life... Now, my two sons have become the black hands that are harming the young talents of this land."

Earl Rong'an spoke slowly, his steps gradually moving towards the two brothers, Xia Pingwei and Xia Pingjie, who were horrified.

"Honor is not a privilege..."

"Bullying the weak only makes the knife rust and numbs people. My good son, let me see today how much of the backbone of Earl Rong'an I still have."

White light!

The blinding white light seemed to illuminate the entire Xialong base city as if it were daytime.

Amidst the horrified and horrified gazes of the powerful figures surrounding Xialong Base City, it possessed a force that brutally erased all colors in the world except white.

"hold head high!"

Suddenly, a dragon's roar, accompanied by an aged voice, filled with obvious shock and rage, came from the direction of Suspended Dragon City.

"You scoundrel! How dare you!"

Chu Hong raised his eyes.

Within sight, beneath the [Forbidden Spell - Thunder God's Judgment Spear], under an energy attack akin to a thunderous nuclear explosion, a strange dragon shadow, entirely black in color, suddenly burst forth.

Chu Hong's eyes sharpened, and he immediately focused all his attention on the dragon shadow.

The black dragon coiled around, like a giant dragon-shaped shield, blocking the [Forbidden Spell - Thunder God's Judgment Spear] below, completely enveloping the entire Rong'an Earl's Mansion.

Is this the dazzling-level collectible of Xuanyuan Shou?

Chu Hong murmured to himself.

Immediately following, a terrifying collision of energy, without any restraint, exploded in the sky above the Rong'an Earl's Mansion in an instant.

"Boom—!"

Like a thunderous nuclear bomb, it exploded in the sky above the entire Xialong base city. The pale lightning was unrestrained, instantly stirring up a thunderous tsunami that rushed in all directions.

As he flew through the air, Xuanyuan Shou's expression suddenly darkened.

The moment the dragon shadow coiled behind him, he made a grabbing and twisting motion in the air with his hands in the shape of dragon claws.

"hold head high!"

Suddenly, several dragon shadows appeared out of thin air again, compressing and gathering the terrifying thunderstorm towards the center, like petals closing in...

however.

This is not easy.

Chu Hong gazed indifferently at the aged figure in mid-air who was struggling to maintain everything.

This is the helplessness and difficulty faced by the Black Hole Council as the defending side when they attacked the base city.

The Black Hole Council only needs to destroy and kill.

However, as the guardian of the base city, a national protector like Xuanyuan Shou must prioritize protection.

Chu Hong felt admiration, but no regret.

He looked at the two Xia brothers in front of him, their faces pale and bloodless in the lightning's reflection. Their aged faces were vaguely distorted, like indescribable humanoid shadows.

Amidst the horrified gazes of everyone, the voice constantly distorted, sometimes sounding aged, sometimes childish, sometimes a woman's voice, and sometimes a bold man's voice.

The news spread for miles around.

"The cycle of cause and effect means that all the sins committed in the past, no matter who committed them, where they were, or what power protected them, will have their consequences accumulating..."

"Until death!"

The words were spoken.

To everyone's disbelief, Chu Hong's figure vanished into thin air.

He returned to the Special Operations Division.

however.

That night, the Great Xia Dragon Base City was in complete chaos.

Amidst the piercing sirens, the heartland of this Great Xia Dynasty entered a state of extreme martial law. People were sternly warned to stay at home in the streets, major commercial districts, and even residential areas.

Elite pioneer guards, fully armed and with an average aura of at least the sixth or seventh level of the Energy Gathering Realm, surrounded the entire base city as if it were an iron barrel.

The Earl of Rong'an's Mansion.

Xuanyuan Shou landed on the ground, looking at the magnificent mansion in front of him, with its carved beams and painted rafters, exuding the extravagant atmosphere of the classical Xia Dynasty aristocracy. Just now, he had done his best to suppress the impact of that lightning bolt on the surrounding area.

Inevitably, this reduced some of the protection afforded to the Earl of Rong'an's mansion.

now.

Approximately one-third of the mansion has been razed to the ground by the energy fluctuations unleashed by the thunder...

"Elder Xuanyuan, we have activated the Nine Dragons Spirit-Binding Array throughout the entire base city and conducted a thorough energy scan of the surrounding area for over ten miles. We have not found any trace of the person leaving. That person should still be in the base city."

A general with a star on his shoulder, who was in charge of the base city's security today, quickly arrived.

Upon hearing this...

Xia Pingjie's face instantly darkened.

"What do you mean you didn't find him? That guy has already infiltrated the noble district and caused such massive destruction with such impunity, and you're saying you can't find him?!"

"You city guards are all just sitting around doing nothing..."

The questioning word "吗" was not finished.

"boom--!"

The next second, Xia Pingjie was like a cannonball, blasted away by a terrifying force, his body slammed around his waist.

His body crashed into several pavilions and houses, eventually embedding half of his body in an artificial rockery, his eyes rolled back, and his limbs twisted...

Xuan Yuan Shou stared indifferently at Xia Pingwei, whose face was deathly pale, with his dark pupils that vaguely resembled vertical pupils.

"I only ordered today that all students of the Rongxun School of the Dragon Roar Holy Academy stay at the school to form the Dragon Roar Special Forces. Tonight he returned to the Rong'an Earl's Mansion... Xia family brat, you have even more guts than your father, Xia Qiu."

thump!

Xia Pingwei's legs went weak at that moment.

Despite his prominent status and the fact that almost no one dared to offend him, the newly appointed Earl of Rong'an was now so frightened that he knelt before Xuan Yuan Shou.

"Dean, Dean, it's my younger brother. He's being disobedient... I will definitely discipline him strictly. I will send him back to the academy tonight!"

He trembled all over.

however.

Xuanyuan Shou, however, had already shifted his gaze from him to the general beside him.

"Xiao Li, the search must continue, but... don't get your hopes up too high."

The general known as Little Li was shocked: "This... Elder Xuanyuan, that person claims to be the 109th member of the Black Hole Council, but how is that possible? Those lunatics, don't they value that position more than their own lives? And aren't all members of the Black Hole Council..."

Xiao Li hadn't finished speaking.

Then they heard Xuan Yuan Shou utter a sentence that made everyone present freeze instantly.

"That person... truly possesses a divine item of dazzling brilliance!"
