Chapter 423: Chapter 423: Great Xia’s Three Martial Artist Divisions Mobilize — Tigers Unleashed, Prowling for Prey; Inescapable Net, Carpet Search

Zhang Zheng: "That’s right! We need to be fully prepared for war in advance!"

Feng Wu: "The military department can engage in battle at any time."

Qin Hai: "This is class struggle; it’s either fight to the death or the sect family is annihilated, or Great Xia is obliterated."

Zhang Zheng: "But, this seems like yet another test; who knows what He actually wants?"

Feng Wu: "Man is the knife, I am the fish; we can only fight to the death!"

Qin Hai: "Sadly, we don’t know how many comrades from Great Xia will soon fall in battle. Alas, the strength is inferior, and that’s all we can do."

...

During their conversation, the topic naturally drifted towards Lin Ping’an, as if pulled by an invisible force.

Even so, they maintained an extraordinary tacit understanding and caution.

Even when discussing matters concerning his existence, they never directly mentioned that taboo name or the various titles closely associated with it.

In the dialogue, "He" became a special and respectful pronoun.

Whenever His name was on the verge of being uttered, it would be quickly and cleverly replaced by this title.

It was as if, in their hearts, this name carried an ineffable weight and mystery.

The expressions of the three changed gradually as the conversation deepened.

Sometimes their brows furrowed, sometimes their eyes met, revealing complex and profound emotions towards "Him."

The words were deep and rhythmic, like an undercurrent beneath a calm lake.

Though it did not stir towering waves, it was enough to make one feel the power ready to erupt.

However, the three giants were unaware of this.

The strength of Lin Ping’an was not just about understanding human hearts.

Nor was it only when someone expressed clear hostility or directly named him that feelings could be sensed.

The Martial Arts Cultivation at the Nine Heavens Peak, almost reaching the Billionaire Card level of Qi Blood, and Spiritual Power exceeding ninety million Hertz, paired with hundreds of Laws with 99% mastery.

Such extreme capabilities together formed this enigmatic and monstrous existence.

Actually, it only required the slightest connection, like the smallest star twinkling in the night sky.

Therefore, no matter who, as long as the slightest intersection occurred with Lin Ping’an.

Even if no intersection was made, but thought of him, a connection would be established.

And it would be accurately captured under the Law of Cause and Effect, leading to exploration of its root cause.

Tracing the origin in a single thought is no mere rhetoric here but an actual fact.

However, far too many people in Great Xia think about Lin Ping’an.

To avoid trouble, causes without animosity are generally ignored directly.

Meanwhile, the three giants, after a thorough discussion, wore solemn and determined expressions.

Immediately, they quickly launched an unprecedented strategic deployment.

Those three giants respectively represented Great Xia’s three most pivotal, powerful institutions—the Martial Arts Association, Ministry of Education, and Military Department.

The Martial Arts Association, as the core of preserving national martial spirit and order.

Under it assembled elite special task forces composed of Peak Grade Eight Grandmasters.

Clad in battle armor, wielding divine weapons, agile and dragon-like, their eyes firm and intense.

Like sharp swords cutting through wind and waves, ready to pierce the crisis in the darkness.

The Ministry of Education, controlling the national educational lifeline, nurturing countless talents, also deployed secret forces.

This group was not only literarily outstanding but also skilled in martial arts, all having reached the Peak of Seventh Grade Grandmaster as Cultivation Method Creators.

The Military Department, Great Xia’s iron fortress, was equally unyielding, dispatching elite forces.

These Martial Arts Powerhouses, seasoned in battle, were highly skilled, all possessing at least the Peak Grade Eight Grandmaster Cultivation.

At the same time, countless law enforcement teams, under the cover of darkness, quietly sprang into action.

As sharp as leopards, united like packs of wolves, they meticulously searched every corner that might hide danger.

Each member displayed exceptional skill and rich experience, weaving a tight web in accordance with higher authority without a trace.

In a flash, it enveloped every city in Great Xia.

At this moment, the entire Great Xia Kingdom seemed to transform into a poised beast, quietly waiting for the prey to appear.

Meanwhile, those exploration team members dispatched from the Human Race Main Lineage remained immersed in their exploration of the unknown.

They were unaware that Great Xia had quietly mastered relevant intelligence concerning the Human Race Main Lineage.

Throughout the cities, intelligence spread rapidly like wildfire, and a precise search targeting them was quietly underway.

And the elite martial artists affiliated with Great Xia’s three core departments, seemed as if injected with stimulants, bursting with unprecedented fighting spirit and vitality.

Since Lin Ping’an, with thunderous means, completely eradicated the high-ranking evil cult that once plagued Great Xia.

Afterward, Great Xia’s leadership decisively, with thunderous force almost eliminated all remaining rats.

These martial artists, accustomed to life intertwined with life-and-death battles and blood and fire, fell into relatively calm days.

During this period, life was almost filled with patrolling, clocking in, daily cultivation.

Day by day, month by month, peaceful to the point of boredom.

Only the martial artists in the military department, during the early stage, occasionally fought against exotic beasts.

Occasionally experiencing the thrill of life-and-death, exhilarating combat.

However, with the continuous reinforcement, expansion, advancement of the defense line...

Until now, deep in the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Races, countless Guardian Cities have been built, forming the third impenetrable defense line.

The war had gradually calmed down.

And the military department martial artists stationed in the rear also returned to relatively peaceful daily life.

At this moment, new missions arrived, reigniting the long-dormant passion in these martial artists.

Upon receiving the intel, their eyes glowed with burning light, as if a drought encountered a sudden rain.

Every one of them was ready, eager for the imminent fierce battle.

"Kill, kill, kill... destroy these ill-intentioned bastards!"

"Dare to attempt to disrupt Great Xia’s peace, even the Mainline Human Race is not permitted!"

"Mainline? Nonsense! Who permits them to be so arrogant? Only Great Xia deserves to be the Human Race’s main line!"

"Exactly! Compete with Great Xia? Do they have the capability?"

"Looking to wreak havoc, better ask if my blade permits!"

"Protect Great Xia, any scum daring to disrupt the peaceful life of the populace deserves death!"

Shouting slogans angrily, numerous Great Xia law enforcement martial artists likewise began to swarm out.

Like tigers released from their cages, glaring with bloodshot eyes, ready to devour at any moment.
