How can there be such a strong superpower?

Li Zheng reminded them, "There's no need to get upset over their beliefs. The Sikopchi sect is indeed one of the strongest sects on the other side. They didn't deliberately send them to trick us."

"..."

Wu You nodded, but his expression was still a little strange. He said in amazement, "Tsk tsk tsk tsk, the overall combat power is at the top... Is this the highest realm of having no woman in your heart?"

Li Zheng ignored him.

soon.

Everyone arrived at the border line and prepared to cross it.

"and many more."

But Shu Li, who had been pondering the meaning of Li Zheng's words, suddenly came to his senses when he noticed the sign on the border. After looking around, he suddenly asked seriously, "Where's Chen Lusi!?"

"..."

Beside her.

Xia Panqiu looked at Shu Li, who had just reacted, with some helplessness... But after thinking about it, she didn't say anything, but looked at Li Zheng.

Chen Lusi disappeared in the morning.

Also disappearing at the same time were Zhou Jian and some members of the security forces.

As for Yu Zhou, he disappeared all the way.

She probably guessed that Li Zheng had other plans for them.

To be honest, she was also quite curious.

Li Zheng paused, looked at Shu Li who had raised the question, and replied directly: "This is not something you should be concerned about. Considering your performance in the Ape Alien Land, you only need to follow orders from now on. You don't need to think too much. I suggest you just clear your mind."

Shu Li: "..."

……

After crossing the border, a large primeval forest comes into view, mainly composed of emerald green Scots pine trees, which are tall and dense, covering the entire area.

The sunlight shines through the gaps between the pine needles onto the ground, creating mottled light and shadows.

Li Zheng walked in front and soon...he met his ally.

There are more than ten people in total.

The leader was a tall woman, a typical Slavic woman with fair skin, a high nose bridge, soft features and beautiful golden hair.

She was standing at the front and didn't seem surprised by the appearance of Li Zheng and others. She just turned her head slowly and looked at them quietly.

And at the same time.

Li Zheng and others also stopped and began to look at each other.

The leading woman was very tall, but what attracted the most attention was not her figure but what she was carrying.

She seemed to be carrying a... corpse.

Although it was wrapped tightly with cloth strips all over its body like a mummy, judging from its outline, it was in the shape of a human.

This sudden scene made the atmosphere a little tense, and silence filled the air.

It was mainly the members of Shu Li's team who felt nervous.

Although the guards were surprised, their expressions did not change. As for the other people behind the woman, they had been maintaining poker faces since Li Zheng and others appeared, as if they had no emotions.

Their eyes met, but no one spoke.

“This is a saint.”

After a stalemate.

The leading woman spoke first, her tone stiff, "The person I respect the most."

She seemed to notice that Shu Li's team and others were a little nervous, so she took the initiative to explain.

We still speak Mandarin.

Although the pronunciation was a bit strange, everyone present still understood it.

"……Understood."

Li Zheng seemed to have done his homework. When he heard the word "saint", he immediately understood. He squinted his eyes and looked at the corpse. Then he took the initiative to introduce himself: "My name is Li Zheng."

"You can call me...Anna."

The leading woman uttered a name in her native tongue.

"Anna."

Li Zheng repeated her name and continued, "Then let's exchange information to see if we have the same information, so as to avoid any misunderstandings or unnecessary arguments later."

Hearing this, Anna nodded gently: "Okay, but before that...I have to tell you something."

"what?"

Li Zheng frowned.

"You are going to die."

Anna whispered in broken Mandarin, "The First Cavalry is a cancer, a festering wound, a bunch of villains... but there's no denying they're powerful. We've tried to encircle and suppress them before, but we've failed."

Speaking of which.

She paused, twisted her neck and looked around, glancing at the people behind Li Zheng.

"There are some despicable guys messing things up here, but the first rider is really hard to deal with."

“Although you look pretty good, you still have a gap to go up against them, especially their leader.

Besides, they have a lot of weapons. I think you should send more advanced combat forces. I have seen them before."

"Tian Ce of Tian Ce Mansion."

"That's what they should be called... You should call them over."

"Otherwise, I don't think it's a good idea to go with you."

"..."

Li Zheng was silent for a moment after hearing this: "Our Tian Ce will come later."

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Anna continued to ask: "One or two?"

"One."

"Is your name Xia Yue?"

"No."

“Then I still don’t think so.”

Anna shook her head slightly and said seriously, "The First Cavalry has two leaders, one of whom is not Xia Yue, so he cannot be dealt with. Moreover, they have collected a lot of high-level 'divine power' to make weapons. The weapons they possess are very powerful, almost man-made antiques, and completely different from ordinary weapons. You will be shot and killed before you can get close."

“This is our business.”

Li Zheng was silent for a moment, then replied, "We will evaluate this aspect. We are just cooperating, but that doesn't mean you have to obey my orders, and vice versa. I understand your concerns, but we have a solution."

"Solution?" Anna looked puzzled.

“This is our business.”

"I don't think your solution will work."

Anna looked at the weapons carried by Li Zheng and others, and continued, "I know you also brought weapons, but they are not of the same level... and you are not in the arms of your master now, so you should be affected."

"...If you feel we are untrustworthy, please go back."

Li Zheng didn't hesitate and said directly: "I've already said that we are just cooperating. Just like when I ask you now who the 'Saint' you are carrying is and what effect it has, you won't answer me. We also have our own secrets. Besides..."

He paused, then suddenly lifted his foot and gently stomped on the ground beneath his feet. He said expressionlessly, "Strictly speaking, this land doesn't belong to your Lord. It still belongs to the Yellow Springs mainstream. In your words, we are still in the Lord's embrace. You are not correct."

"..."

Anna looked at Li Zheng quietly, in silence. After a long moment, she slowly raised her hand and made the sign of the cross on her chest: "Then I wish you good luck, Аминь."

"Okay...tell me about the last confirmed location."

Li Zheng finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the other party stop talking.

……

Time moves forward a little.

Before Li Zheng and others set off.

Another entrance.

It's just dawn.

Three off-road vehicles set off and headed in the other direction of the Ussuri Shallows.

At the beginning, the road was winding and quite rugged.

The off-road vehicle was bumping along the mountain trail, and the roar of the engine and the friction of the tires could be heard from time to time.

About two hours later, at the same time Li Zheng saw Anna, three off-road vehicles drove to a high place and finally stopped.

Chen Lusi was the first to open the car door, get out, then stretch a little and look into the distance.

A vast primeval forest appeared before our eyes, with dense green Chinese larch covering the ground, and a broad river flowing calmly through it...the scenery was nice.

"I'm leaving."

A voice suddenly sounded.

Chen Lusi turned around, looked at Yu Zhou, whom he had met once before, and asked, "Go find Li Zheng?"

"Yes, Zhou Jian will take you to the best location based on the information Li Zheng sent you. He will also be responsible for monitoring the surrounding spirits and helping you transfer."

Yu Zhou and Chen Lusi looked at each other and explained, "If I go any higher, I might not be able to catch up."

"Are you here to mobilize your authority?"

Chen Lusi looked up at the sky. The sky, which had been fine just a moment ago, was now covered with dark clouds. It seemed like it was going to rain, and everything was gloomy.

"...It seems Xia Yue told you."

Yu Zhou smiled when he heard this and said, "Yes, I fought against one of the leaders of the First Cavalry some time ago. He was indeed quite difficult to deal with. Whether it was for my own safety or for my responsibility to others, I had to prepare in advance.

My power and ability cannot spread infinitely. Standing in a position with a wide field of vision will allow me to better control it and activate it more quickly."

"understood."

Chen Lusi nodded lightly.

"...Then I'll leave this to you."

Yu Zhou looked at Chen Lusi and actually felt something was a little strange...

After all, this was the first time he said such words to an enabler in the bleeding stage.

Chen Lusi hesitated for a moment after hearing this, then asked, "Is it really okay if I don't go to the front lines?"

yesterday.

Just arrived at the destination.

He followed Li Zheng and met with Yu Zhou, who told him the arrangements for the operation.

After the three of them discussed, Li Zheng and Yu Zhou finally decided... not to let Chen Lusi go to the front line.

"..."

When Yu Zhou heard what Chen Lusi said, he glanced at the bag he was carrying, and his expression became even more strange. "It doesn't matter. Against the 'First Rider', what you have on your back will be much more useful than going to the front line."

Yes.

Yesterday, he also saw...

can only say.

It was so fucking unexpected.

"The problem is, my accuracy isn't very good."

Chen Lu thought for a moment and expressed his concerns: "You saw it yesterday."
