Chapter 69: The Journey Home - Saijin's Submission (Part 1)

  The fleet of the Asian Alliance hovers above a small island base.

  Elite soldiers belonging to the various major forces of the Dao Alliance dismantled and packed up all sorts of important instruments in an orderly manner, sending them into the ship's hold. As for the things left behind in the base, such as the huge alloy steel frames, the movable elevator deck, and the massive gate valves for entering and exiting the base, these items were abandoned on the orders of Zhang Dao, who was eager to leave.

  Thousands of containers were stuffed into the transport ship's hold, containing Zakura crystals and precious metals such as gold, silver, and platinum that the Asian Tao Alliance had collected during this period. These items will also promote the rapid increase in strength of various major forces under the Asian Tao Alliance after being transported back to Earth. Especially the Zakura crystals controlled by the Federation, which have collected more than 200,000 cubic meters this time, are enough for the Asian Tao Alliance to secretly build a private fleet.

  Xiao Zhang and others were busy checking various items, especially the block of nine-underworld spring gas condensed into a mysterious ice that sealed Xuan Jing's small Taoist nun. The base of over 10,000 people wanted to retreat, but there were so many supplies, although they discarded as much miscellaneous and useless items as possible, it still took more than two hours.

  Kuya Dust stood at the hatch of a warship, looking at Sailor who was holding Ardiya, whose poison had dissipated but still unconscious, rushing in quickly.

  Ulysses, with a very strange expression, followed Ceren tightly into the warship, but she disappeared from Gu Xuan's sight in an instant, and it was unknown where she had gone. Gu Xuan took a glance, only to see that Ulysses had a head of hair as black as ebony, skin as white as ivory, a pair of deep blue eyes, and a red lip that seemed to be dripping with beauty.

  After taking off that enchanting tight-fitting leather jacket, and putting on a white linen long dress, Eulice surprisingly gave people a feeling of being stunningly beautiful.

  "Troubled waters!" Gu Xie Chen muttered to himself.

  Saiyin's ears perked up, and he heard the muttering of Gu Xiechen. His pale face suddenly scrunched up into a ball. Glaring at Gu Xiechen in annoyance, Saiyin growled in a low voice: "Arrange a room for me, it has to be the most comfortable one! Although the poison from Aridyia has dissipated, her physical strength is still very weak. That damned Hestia's staff, I warned her!"

  He glanced at Aridy's face, which was as beautiful as a sculpture in deep sleep, and then recalled the charming back of Yuris when she fled hastily, Gu Xie dusted off his lips with a strange smile.

  He snapped his fingers, and a young disciple from the Jiuyou Dao sect, who was actually a howling silver wolf in disguise, hurried over with large strides. He respectfully bowed to Gu Xian and said: "Young Master Gu, what are your orders?"

  "Ah, arrange a room for Mr. Sai Ren, the most comfortable one... Hmm, next door or adjacent to him, arrange one for me too!" Gu Xiechen smiled with his eyes narrowed into a line, deliberately looking at Sai Ren's extremely ugly face, and provocatively whistled. Gu Xiechen suddenly found that the Sai Ren standing in front of him had undergone a huge change, a kind of change that Gu Xiechen could clearly feel but couldn't describe.

  If the Sairen from half a month ago gave people the feeling of being a beautiful mermaid singing on the reef to lure sailors, handsome and extraordinary but full of danger, then now Sairen's body seems to be suddenly shrouded in a thick layer of fog, Gu Xiandu can't see through his existence. Faintly visible, in a glimpse, it seems that Sairen's handsomeness and extraordinariness can be felt, but the fatal danger he poses has merged with the fog, if not for Gu Xiandu being so familiar with him, even the slightest breath would go unnoticed.

  "How interesting! It's really interesting!"

  Continuously making the "heh heh" eerie laughter that annoyed Sai Er, Gu Xie Chen closely followed Sai Er, and under the lead of Xiao Yue Yin Lang, they arrived at the living quarters in the middle of the warship.

  All the items to be taken away were stuffed into the cargo hold of the transport ship, and the ships belonging to the Asian Taoist Alliance immediately accelerated out of the atmosphere of Tian Xing at maximum speed. At an altitude of about 100 kilometers, Gu Xiandust could still see a continuous burst of holy strong light on the horizon through the porthole, and it was clear that Andre and Poppy's forces were still fighting fiercely.

  "Goodbye!" Gu Xié dust's right hand pressed against the porthole window, lightly waving in the direction of Guang Mang's explosion.

  Sai Ren placed Ariya in the bedroom, he gently closed the bedroom door and then heavily threw himself onto a sofa. He looked at Gu Xie Chen with extreme anger and shouted: "What are you still doing here? Eh, if I'm not mistaken, this is my room!"

  Guxiaodun pressed a button on the side of the porthole, and a faint humming noise came from within the transparent porthole as it was infused with energy. The transparent semi-crystalline alloy gradually took on the same color as the alloy plate next to it. Sitting on the sofa opposite Sazi, Guxiaodun raised his legs and smiled at Sazi: "Why are you so stingy? We used to be enemies, but now we're friends, aren't we, dear Sazi?"

  He leaned his body against the armrest of the sofa, with one hand comfortably supporting his chin. Gu Xié dust looked at Sai Jin with curiosity and asked: "Tell me, what happened?"

  Saizhen's silver eyes darted around in confusion, her unfocused gaze finally landing on a decorative vase in the corner of the room. Saizhen let out a dry laugh and said vaguely, "What happened what? Hmm, I don't disagree with some of your views. In fact, we did fight side by side on Tian Xing. But that doesn't mean we'll become friends. When we get back to Earth, I think it's better if we part ways, because after getting involved with you, I haven't had a single stroke of good luck!"

  "Don't refuse so quickly!" Gu Xié Chén said with a relaxed smile: "The position of the second deputy commander of the Hell Angel Mercenary Corps, how about it? I'm making this invitation very formally. Think carefully about it, I don't know why you joined the Holy Unicorn Mercenary Corps, but... I can tell that you're not a person who likes to be idle. Become my partner, let's unite together, our strength will become even greater!"

  Sai Ren sneered with a smile: "I'm with Aridyah, my power is stronger than yours! And now my power is at least ten times yours, why should I be the second deputy commander of the Hell Angel Mercenary Corps? Even if Aridyah and I start from scratch and rebuild a Holy Unicorn, it's easy!"

  "Hey, your thinking is wrong. Don't forget, you've had conflicts with Glacia before, and that guy isn't someone who's open-minded. You're starting from scratch with Ardiya? How are you going to start over when you're already on the Federation's blacklist and Glacia is waiting for a chance to take revenge?"

  Federal blacklist, Sai Zhen's face stiffened, he glared at Gu Xiechen angrily.

  What a great plan it was, only to be ruined by Gu Xie Chen. If he hadn't sent the intelligence about the existence of Tian Xing back to the Federation, Sai Er and the former Holy Unicorn would not have ended up in such a predicament.

  Sai Yin let out a few cold snorts, his wandering gaze drifting towards the ancient Chinese-style palace chandelier on the ceiling.

  "With my help, everything will be different. The Hell Angel Mercenary Corps has made great contributions to the Federation this time, and its future is bright. I am confident that it will develop into the largest and strongest defense company in the Federation, build its own fleet, have its own military factories, military bases and interstellar exploration teams. Moreover, we will have the full support of the Asian Taoist Alliance behind us."

  Kuya Dust gazed at Sain, saying in a calm and unquestionable tone: "I know you're currently feeling embarrassed, thinking that by doing this, you're surrendering to someone who once made you flee in disarray. Ah, pride, arrogance, perhaps even a hint of the former noble family's haughty vanity... But Sain, don't you think that in this world, we are each other's best collaborators?"

  Sai Ren shook his head slightly, feeling a bit annoyed. He muttered a few curses under his breath and said impatiently, "Let me think about it, maybe I'll agree with you. But what's in it for me?"

  "Your power is equal to mine!" Gu Xie Chen immediately smiled warmly: "You should know my strength and future development potential, is there a better choice than me?"

  "Oh, for Pete's sake!" Saizen coughed violently and cursed, "I was almost convinced by you. If you can help me solve a problem, I'll follow you to the death from now on!"

  "Desperately following me?" Gu Xie dust looked at Sai Ren in surprise: "I just wanted to..."

  "A collaborator?" Xie Zhen looked at Gu Xiadun with even more astonishment: "Don't you know that in a small group, there must be a leader? So-called fair cooperation is impossible among people like us. If you can fulfill your promise and let me enjoy the same privileges and treatment as you, then I have no problem joining the Hell Angel Mercenary Corps, or even becoming that damned second deputy commander."

  "Assuming that..." Saichen was embarrassed and hesitant to speak!

  The battleship trembled slightly, and through the thick deck came a faint strong shockwave that crashed against the hull of the ship with a dull thud.

  He Gu Xuan jumped up, opening the communication system inside the warship's cabin. A light screen immediately fell from the ceiling, and a magnificent painting of a large fleet confrontation appeared in front of them. The Earth Federation Army had over a thousand warships of all sizes, forming a rigid but heavy square formation with the remaining two hundred or so Roman first-class warships. Both sides' main cannons were constantly firing at each other, with the main cannons and energy shields rubbing against each other, emitting large pieces of light rain. About every ten to twenty minutes, either a Federation warship or a Roman warship would explode into a ball of flames.
