Chapter 368 Friends from Afar

In midsummer, the sky in the north lit up earlier than in the south.

When heaven and earth in Huating were still alternately blurred in light and darkness, the early sun was gradually exposed on Mount Dibing in Beihai.

Mount Dibing was not tall, but it was located on an extremely open area of land. It stood against the sea and overlooked Shengzhou. The sun rose from the sea. As the sun fell on Mount Dibing, it seemed to dispel all the shadows for a moment.

Qin Weibai quietly looked at the top of the mountain and hiked.

There was sunshine on the top of the mountain.

The light pierced through the trees and fell on the flowers on the mountain road in mottled patches.

She walked quietly all the way up.

It was quiet in the mountains. But in large areas that were not easy to see, the grass and treetops were very slightly undulating, just like a natural waving after being blown by the wind.

Qin Weibai walked upward.

The wind also seemed to be moving upward.

So as she moved forward, the whole mountain seemed to be gently wavering.

“It’s really awesome.”

Lin Fengting walking beside Qin Weibai, suddenly laughed at himself and whispered, “This is the first time I have received this kind of treatment on Mount Dibing.”

Flaming Fire followed behind the two in silence. Her body was obviously stiff and she looked nervous. Her vigilant eyes swept across the flowers, grass, and bushes that were shaking gently from time to time.

The whole mountain was turbulent, naturally not because of Qin Weibai’s footsteps.

But because of the footsteps of countless people.

After Summer Solstice was attacked on Mount Dibing, the passageway as well as the contact people that Samsara Palace could use to go up the mountain in secret were completely destroyed by Wang Tianzong.

So now the three of them were going up the mountain fair and square.

The so-called fair and square meant that the actions of the three people were under the watch of Mount Dibing.

The three of them went up the mountain. The internal security forces stationed in the Wang family of Beihai also went up the mountain.

They were always surrounded by the internal security forces.

It was more than just the internal forces.

At this moment, unknown high-tech and powerful weapons in the Wang family of Beihai were secretly aimed at those three.

How terrible was it that Mount Dibing had opened up a comprehensive defense for encountering a powerful enemy?

Such a big tactical array had never come about in the Wang family of Beihai in recent decades.

Lin Fengting laughed at himself a little and felt somewhat hesitant and sad.

But it was the Wang family of Beihai here…

And only the three of them were here.

Flaming Fire, at the peak of the Thunder-shocking Realm, was a master in the Dark World. But it was not worth the vigilance of Mount Dibing.

Qin Weibai?

All intelligence agencies knew that Qin Weibai did not understand martial arts.

It was self-evident who Mount Dibing was defending today.

It defended the Patriarch of the Lin Clan.

Lin Fengting had no complaints, but felt a little helpless.

It was not so free in the jianghu world.

As soon as one entered the jianghu world, one could not do anything freely.

One could not do anything of one’s own free will.

“I’m a burden on him.”

Qin Weibai walked slowly along the mountain road and her voice was soft.

Her clothes were very casual. She had on black wide-leg pants and stylish sneakers. When she tied up her long hair, she was like a young woman with a graceful style. She had no sharp edges on her body, but only a kind of reserved elegance and calmness.

“You do not need to say that you are a burden.”

Lin Fengting calmed down and shook his head. “Go up first, talk later.”

He was a friend of the Wang family of Beihai.

At least he was.

So he had a permit for Mount Dibing. It was not difficult for them to go up the mountain.

The Wang family of Beihai never feared others to go up the mountain—friends or enemies.

The Master of Samsara Palace once took the 12 Super Masters straight into Mount Dibing and then retreated safely.

That was because they calmly appeared in the core area of the mountain top. It also represented that the internal forces in the Wang family of Beihai had hidden dangers. Lin Fengting was still present at that time.

Qin Weibai once got into Mount Dibing alone and retreated safely.

Wang Tianzong did not kill him, for the Deity of Purgatory of Heaven Capital and the Master of Samsara Palace might be around Mount Dibing at the time. The most important thing was that in the general trend, only killing Qin Weibai would hardly change anything.

Now the three of them were appearing brightly, tantamount to facing the entire defense system of Mount Dibing.

Lin Fengting was at the peak of the Invincible Realm.

But on Mount Dibing, where the Wang family of Beihai had occupied for hundreds of years, could the peak of the Invincible Realm be invincible?

Lin Fengting did not think so.

“You are betting your life.”

Lin Fengting suddenly smiled bitterly. “Do you really think that Mount Dibing is nothing to fear without Wang Tianzong? You sent someone to attack Summer Solstice successfully because it happened suddenly. Now there is preparation on Mount Dibing. If it did not go well today, I might barely be able to leave. But I could not care about you.”

“I never like gambling.”

Qin Weibai whispered softly, “I don’t like betting my life. So once I have a chance to gamble, basically I have absolute confidence.”

“Do you know the hidden card of the Wang family of Beihai?”

Lin Fengting raised his eyebrows.

He did not even know about the hidden card of the Wang family of Beihai.

“No, I don’t.”

Qin Weibai shook her head and said softly, “But I know their bottomline. So I just need to hold the hidden card in my hand.”

The shadow of the trees on both sides of the road finally faded.

The three people’s footsteps formally stepped on the top of Mount Dibing with almost no shadow in the sun.

At the top of the mountain, it was solemn.

Countless ammunition-ready internal security-force elites formed the most stringent formation, with a mighty momentum, as if they were welcoming and preparing.

Qin Weibai calmly crossed by the numerous people.

The sun shone on her. She seemed to be shining all over.

She was indescribably calm and chill.

The numerous people of the internal security forces had spread to the center of the summit.

Qin Weibai walked along the people to the main hall where the authority of the Wang family of Beihai was concentrated.

The door of Emperor Hall was open.

A tall young man with a perfect figure stood straight in front of the door.

He had an elegant appearance and a slender figure. He stood quietly at the door, just like a sharp javelin standing there.

This was a young man who looked thin but easily emitted a sense of strength.

The first disciple of the Sword Emperor in Zhongzhou State.

The combat capability of the Invincible Realm in the Wang family of Beihai—Dijiang!

Dijiang looked at Qin Weibai. His elegant face was full of sneers and his eyes were as cold as ice.

“I want to see Summer Solstice.”

Qin Weibai glanced at Dijiang and spoke with a faint tone.

“Just for what reason?”

Dijiang’s tone was cold and almost feminine.

He really did not like this woman, and he especially could not stand the pride of the other person, who always stood high as if looking down on sentient beings. He could not figure out why there were so many big figures in the Dark World who liked this woman so much. Now, Samsara Palace was hostile to the Wang family of Beihai. So he hated Qin Weibai even more.

“Since the Master of Samsara Palace is dead, why are you still remaining arrogant?

“For the person beside you?”

Dijiang glanced at Lin Fengting.

His eyes were a little complicated as he bowed slightly to Lin Fengting.

Lin Fengting nodded expressionlessly, but felt a little sad in his heart.

Today, this young man with the combat ability of the Invincible Realm would have been taken to the Lin Clan long ago if he had not been received as a disciple by Wang Tianzong.

“I want to see Summer Solstice.”

Qin Weibai repeated again.

“What? Come to intercede for Li Tianlan? Master is in Huating now. No one can save Li Tianlan.”

Dijiang stayed at the door and did not move.

“I’m here today, not to ask anyone, but because I have something that made Summer Solstice have to meet me. I’ll only wait for three minutes. If Summer Solstice doesn’t come out, I’ll just leave.”

Qin Weibai’s tone was faint, but it contained an obvious arrogance.

Lin Fengting finally seemed to think of something. His expression changed slightly. He suddenly waved his hand.

A sword energy easily covered the space where he and Qin Weibai were located. Everything in the external world began to blur.

Lin Fengting looked at Qin Weibai and whispered, “I probably know what your hidden card is. Have you decided?”

“This is the safest way,” Qin Weibai said.

She thought of Li Tianlan, who was still in Huating, and her eyes looked gentle.

“It’s only temporary.”

Lin Fengting said, “If this hidden card in your hand is kept, it will play a big role in the future. If it is used now… for up to six months, the Wang family of Beihai will not be the one you are familiar with.”

“It doesn’t matter.”

Qin Weibai smiled. “After six months, Tianlan will no longer be the one that the Wang family of Beihai is familiar with. Or… they will not have the opportunity to get to know him then.”

The sword intent was finally beginning to dissipate.

Everything in Emperor Hall appeared again in front of Qin Weibai.

A graceful and gentle woman wearing a cheongsam walked out of Emperor Hall.

Dijiang, who looked a little cold, bowed slightly to her.

“It’s a pleasure to have friends come from afar.”

Summer Solstice stood in front of Emperor Hall, looking at Qin Weibai and Lin Fengting.

Her face was a little pale, but her smile was impeccable, so elegant and so calm.

…

Li Tianlan watched Wang Tianzong’s fighting video quietly.

It was different from the repeated research by the superpowers.

This represented the strongest combat capability in the Dark World, the strongest sword video. He only watched it once and then put it away.

The sky was bright outside the windows in Huating.

Li Tianlan, who had been sleeping since returning to East Emperor Palace from Winter Mountain, was holding his mobile phone while going down the stairs and silently adjusted his state.

The final maneuver would begin at nine in the morning.

There were less than three hours left.

He stepped out of the gate, stood by the clear lake, and looked into the distance without speaking for a long while.

“Tianlan, are you okay?”

Yu Donglai calmly appeared beside Li Tianlan and handed him a cigarette.

“What can happen?”

Li Tianlan took the cigarette with a smile, but handed the phone to Yu Donglai.

Yu Donglai went to take the mobile phone and glanced it. He slightly raised his white eyebrows.

There was a short message on the phone interface, which was extremely concise.

“I’m okay, so is the sister. Samsara Palace changed from brightness to darkness.”

“Little Bai’s text?”

Yu Donglai laughed lightly.

“Er.”

Li Tianlan nodded.

He saw Qin Weibai’s text message before watching the video.

So the thrilling video did not cause any emotional waves for him.

Except that he felt sorry for the unfortunate fall of several Super Masters in Samsara Palace, he was most impressed by Wang Tianzong’s shocking sword.

This was the peak sword intent in the world!

“That sword… was heavy,” Li Tianlan said suddenly.

“What?”

Yu Donglai was a little surprised.

“It’s nothing.”

Li Tianlan shook his head. “If Rushi is still asleep, I won’t wait for her. After dinner, I’ll go to Sky Academy to participate in the maneuver.”

“I’ll take you over,” Yu Donglai said without hesitation. He knew that his face was becoming less and less valuable, but after all, he was the backbone of the Li family in the past. Today’s maneuver was crucial for the Li family. How could he not be present?

“No need.”

Li Tianlan shook his head. “I can go there by myself.”

A black Mercedes with military badges slowly entered East Emperor Palace.

The Mercedes-Benz stopped in front of Li Tianlan and Yu Donglai, and the door was opened.

The giant in Zhongzhou State, Dongcheng Wudi, the standing director of the Army Headquarters, calmly walked out of the car.

He looked at Li Tianlan, who was a bit surprised, and said with a smile, “Where is Rushi? Tianlan, get ready, I will take you to Sky Academy in person.”

“Marshal?”

Li Tianlan called out subconsciously.

He knew that Dongcheng Wudi would attend today’s final maneuver. But he did not expect that before the maneuver began, Dongcheng Wudi would come to East Emperor Palace and take him over.

Li Tianlan moved his mouth, but did not speak.

“Don’t think too much.”

Dongcheng Wudi patted Li Tianlan on the shoulder. “You just have to deal with the maneuver. I’ll take care of the rest.”

“It’s not that easy.”

Li Tianlan laughed. He was not happy and had an obvious grudge.

He knew what would happen in today’s maneuver.

He was not only facing the cooperation of several young Chosen Ones in Zhongzhou State, but he had to face the entire Wang family of Beihai and Kunlun City.

How could it be so easy to dispose of them?

“It doesn’t matter.”

Dongcheng Wudi calmly said, “I am here today to teach some people how to focus on state affairs.”

“If some people go their own way, won’t they quit putting the general interests first?”

Li Tianlan looked at Dongcheng Wudi.

“Then f*ck them!”

Dongcheng Wudi laughed suddenly, arrogantly, and sternly. “They don’t want the general interests, nor do I.”

Along with his roaring laughter, the morning sun in the sky continued to rise and all of Huating became brighter.

Dongcheng Wudi looked at Yu Donglai, who was gradually relaxed, and chuckled. “Senior Yu, I already knew the name of the private home cuisine in the Yu family. I will take Tianlan back after the maneuver is over. You must cook a delicious dish for me.”

“Okay.”

Yu Donglai laughed out loud. His whole person seemed to relax completely. “I have friends here from afar, so I will cook in person today.”

…

At the same time…

The Huating Railway Station was crowded.

Four long trains from different directions in Zhongzhou State slowly entered Huating’s platform with roaring sirens.

One train departed from Nanyun.

One from Beijiang.

Another train departed from Guandong.

And another from Tibet.

The four long trains, like four long dragons, slowly but firmly entered Huating Railway Station.

The moment the four trains stopped, all of Zhongzhou State seemed to be violently shaking.

A strong wind blew, and the clouds scudded across the sky.

A rainstorm was coming.

…

On Mount Dibing…

In Emperor Hall…

The tea was still warm.

Summer Solstice quietly watched Qin Weibai, who was sitting quietly and drinking tea opposite her.

Flaming Fire stood quietly aside.

Lin Fengting did not follow them, for he took the initiative to stand outside.

At this time, he was standing outside Emperor Hall, chatting with Dijiang.

“Do you know why I let you come up the mountain?”

Summer Solstice chuckled suddenly. “Mount Dibing is not afraid of an enemy coming up the mountain. But they have always been unwelcoming. Any threat that might destroy Mount Dibing is not welcome here.”

“Got it.”

Qin Weibai nodded. “Because of Lin Fengting.”

Lin Fengting was at the peak of the Invincible Realm.

But only those who truly understood the past relationship between the Wang family of Beihai and the Lin Clan were clear of it.

Lin Fengting was here, then there would be no conflict on Mount Dibing today.

Because the Lin Clan people would not shoot at the Wang family of Beihai, at least not at the headquarters in the Wang family of Beihai.

Summer Solstice coughed slightly, grabbed a tea cup, and took a sip.

Qin Weibai looked at her pale face.

“After the last attack, are your injuries recovering?”

She took the initiative to ask a question that seemed rude and provocative.

“It’s not bad.”

Summer Solstice said indifferently, “You did that attack, right?”

“Yes.”

Qin Weibai nodded.

“What exactly do you want?”

Summer Solstice blinked and looked at Qin Weibai.

“In today’s final maneuver of both academies,” Qin Weibai said softly, “I want to keep Tianlan alive.”

“It has nothing to do with your attacking me.”

Summer Solstice looked at Qin Weibai’s eyes. “And can you really control the situation today? What are you doing here? Fengting is outside. Even if he is persuaded by you to shoot at me, do you want to control me to threaten Tianzong? Even if I am injured, I will not be powerless. And…

“And even if I am under your control, I will not compromise.”

Qin Weibai looked at Summer Solstice and whispered, “Because some women would rather die than let their men be in trouble.”

Summer Solstice was silent.

Her eyes became fierce.

“Control the mistress who controls the Wang family of Beihai on Mount Dibing? I don’t have such a stupid idea. I’m here today just to show you something.”

Qin Weibai reached out to Flaming Fire.

Flaming Fire grabbed his bag and took out a very heavy document from it.

Qin Weibai put the document in front of Summer Solstice, and said softly, “You will be interested.”

The document was thick, but the font was large. So there wasn’t much content in it.

Summer Solstice casually read it and noticed several sensitive words.

Her face suddenly changed and her hand holding the tea cup suddenly clenched.

Qin Weibai looked at her quietly.

Summer Solstice looked up and stared at Qin Weibai’s face.

“What is this?” she asked, stressing each syllable.

“A threat.”

Qin Weibai smiled sweetly. “Obviously, this is a threat to the Wang family of Beihai.”
