Spirit Master Girl: Contracting with an SSS-Level School Beauty at the Start-Chapter 618 Zhan Yuntian Injured

Upon arriving at the defensive wall, Xiao Zhan noticed Ye Anu and the others were not there and curiously asked an aide-de-camp. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

"Where is Ye Anu?"

"General Ye received a communication and has returned to the medical center."

A communication?

The medical center?

Xiao Zhan had a bad premonition.

He hurriedly made his way towards the medical center.

Before he reached the medical center, Xiao Zhan felt a wave of sadness.

He released his Perception and instantly understood what had happened, his expression changing immediately.

Entering the room.

Everyone immediately turned their gaze towards him.

After a brief moment of surprise, the atmosphere became heavy again.

"You’re back, how did it go?"

Ye Anu casually asked.

"Everything went smoothly."

Xiao Zhan replied.

Ye Anu nodded.

Then, Xiao Zhan looked towards the bed in the room, where a beautiful woman was lying, but she was no longer breathing.

Next to the woman’s bed stood a man covered in blood.

The man was very tall and upright, but at the moment, he looked as if he was burdened with a great mountain, appearing very exhausted. He gazed at the woman on the bed with a devoted look, hot tears silently falling from the corners of his eyes.

Standing beside the bed, there were others, Liu Xin, Su Mulan and her assistant medical staff, and so on.

Su Mulan and the others seemed to be somewhat disordered in their breathing, probably having consumed a great deal of energy earlier.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Zhan didn’t know what to say and instead called Ye Anu out of the room.

"What happened, why is Zhan Yuntian here?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Anu glanced back in the direction of Zhan Yuntian’s room, sighed deeply, and then sadly said, "The other borders have been breached, and a large number of monsters have invaded the Federation. Now, only Northern City remains somewhat safe."

Hearing this, Xiao Zhan’s face showed shock.

"So suddenly?"

He found it hard to believe; the Longxia Federation was one of the strongest Super Federations, how could it be so easily breached by monsters?

If they had been breached, what would happen to the other smaller federations?

Ye Anu said, "This past month, we had you here, so things were relatively manageable. But the other borders weren’t so lucky. Several Seventh Grade monsters attacked together and their defenses collapsed."

"The Federation has actually been in a constant retreat, it just wasn’t that obvious. In fact, many of the smaller federations have already been destroyed. This time a particularly vicious monster appeared on Kunlun Mountain. Zhan Yuntian was sent to deal with it, but you saw the result, didn’t you?"

At this point, Ye Anu let out a deep sigh.

Xiao Zhan had only recently become an Eighth Grade, barely having entered the grade.

If Zhan Yuntian, who had been at Eighth Grade for much longer, couldn’t handle that monster, it was even less likely that Xiao Zhan could.

"It’s all so absurd."

Ye Anu muttered.

"What’s absurd?" Xiao Zhan didn’t understand.

Ye Anu looked at Xiao Zhan, then lowered his head, "It’s just bizarre how the world has turned into this."

Xiao Zhan did not dwell on this topic.

It was a heavy one, but it wasn’t something he could reverse by himself.

Of course, maybe he could change the situation alone, but there was no need to worry so prematurely and deplete his energy unnecessarily.

Xiao Zhan was just about to instruct Ye Anu to adjust the defense setup.

At that moment, Zhan Yuntian walked out.

His tears had been wiped dry, and he had returned to his tough-guy image from before.

He approached Xiao Zhan.

With a hint of surprise and gravity, he sized up Xiao Zhan.

When Xiao Zhan had left, he only had a month to live, but now, over a month had passed, and Xiao Zhan was still alive.

And not just alive, his strength had increased.

His aura was powerful, stronger than his own now.

"You broke through to the Eighth Grade?"

"Yes."

Xiao Zhan nodded.

A look of shock appeared on Zhan Yuntian’s face. It was just a probing question; he had not expected it to be true.

Xiao Zhan had left the Hidden Dragon Emergence Cultivation Room and, in such a short time, had managed to break through to the Eighth Grade. Zhan Yuntian could hardly believe it.

He was just about to ask how the breakthrough occurred.

Suddenly, something came to mind, and he quickly said, "Xiao Zhan, I need you to do something!"

"What is it?"

Seeing the seriousness and panic in his expression, Xiao Zhan knew it was not a simple matter.

Zhan Yuntian urgently said, "When I escaped, that beast was headed towards the Hidden Dragon Hall. The higher-ups are all there, and they haven’t had the chance to escape yet. I want you to go and bring them out!"

Bring them out?

Xiao Zhan hesitated for a moment.

Normally, he should not have hesitated. It wasn’t that he was afraid of the so-called powerful beast, but the key point was that outside Northern City, a huge Secret Realm had yet to descend.

If the Secret Realm descended while he was away, considering the vastness of the Secret Realm, Northern City would simply not be able to withstand it.

On one side were the Federation’s leadership, and on the other, the entirety of Northern City.

So Xiao Zhan was torn.

Zhan Yuntian, unaware of the situation in Northern City, saw Xiao Zhan’s hesitation and thought it was because Xiao Zhan was afraid to die and didn’t dare go.

He immediately said, "Xiao Zhan, they are critical to the Federation, there can be no mishaps! Qin Wanfeng is also there!"

Xiao Zhan heard what he meant and quickly explained, "You misunderstood; that’s not what I meant. The current situation in Northern City is not optimistic either. I’m afraid if I leave, problems might arise."

Xiao Zhan then called Hose over.

After Hose arrived, Xiao Zhan asked, "Based on the situation outside the defensive line, how much time do we have before the Secret Realm descends?"

"It’s hard to say, at the earliest one day, at the latest three days."

Xiao Zhan turned to look at Zhan Yuntian, who also understood the implication.

The distance to Hidden Dragon Hall was neither far nor close. One day’s time did indeed seem a bit rushed.

Xiao Zhan didn’t want to see undesirable events unfold, so after considering, he said, "Alright, I’ll go and bring them back, but at most I can only spare one day. I will return in one day’s time."

Zhan Yuntian wasn’t completely satisfied with this decision, but he wasn’t a stubborn person.

If the people were brought back, but Northern City was finished, then bringing them back would be pointless.

"Alright, one day it is."

"Mhm."

Xiao Zhan nodded.

He then instructed Hose and the others that during his absence, they must remain vigilant. If anything unexpected occurred, they should inform him immediately.

Right after that, Xiao Zhan prepared to head towards Hidden Dragon Hall.

"If you encounter that beast, be very careful. It can release a ray that contaminates your spiritual power, severing the connection between you and your Artifact Spirit. That’s how I failed,"

Zhan Yuntian said mournfully.
