Chapter 1787: Chapter 1821: The Star Ring’s Resonance with the Magic Bracelet

However... instead of paying attention to Shen Kong’s arrogant aura, Meng Chanji feigned deafness and oblivion.

"You’re courting death!" Shen Kong, irate beyond measure, raised his hand to conjure a white energy ball and hurled it towards the uninvited guest, Meng Chanji.

"Pow!" Without even turning his head, Meng Chanji raised his hand and shattered the white energy ball. The explosion instantly sent a ripple of purple energy spreading in all directions.

"Heh heh, back in the day when I was out and about, little brat, your mother probably hadn’t even fully grown her hair yet." Meng Chanji grinned wickedly with continuous laughter.

"You!"

Having his energy ball smashed to pieces by Meng Chanji, Shen Kong was furious. He raised his thick brows sharply upwards and squinted his eyes, realizing that the opponent before him was unbeatable.

"What? Just these tricks with no follow-up? Damn! Turns out you’re just a paper tiger. Come on, come on, even though I’ve lost a leg, I can still deal with you. This leg was crippled back at the Bright Church’s Western side; if you think you’re better than the former Sect Hierarch of the Bright Sect. I have another leg that’s intact. Why not take this chance and break my leg, wouldn’t that be interesting? I’m so busy running around that I’m worried both legs might get broken. What would be the outcome then?"

Unexpectedly, Meng Chanji joined the fray, thought he would start fighting immediately. Yet this old fellow confusingly tangled with Shen Kong.

At this moment, at the South Heavenly Gate side, there were five formidable opponents including Jia Zhenjing, the old man, Nangong Shui, Beiming Yu, and Meng Chanji.

As for the Heavenly Punishment Alliance, aside from Taihuang Demon who is fearsome, the others don’t count for much.

Taihuang Demon knew well that the mysterious Beiming Yu was formidable, even her own sect’s Holy Daughter couldn’t guarantee victory. And there was another Dark Angel, with unparalleled potential, the strongest Sub-Saint, genuinely giving Taihuang Demon a headache.

Both sides were evenly matched, maintaining a balance.

Suddenly, the scene was plunged back into a dead silence.

.........

Meanwhile...

In the headquarters of the South Heavenly Gate at Wolong Mountain, Nangong Bing stood at the highest spot of the Wolong Mountain Range, gazing at the patches of white mist below at the foot of the mountain, holding the Star Ring with anxiety in her heart.

Currently, South Heavenly Gate faces a great calamity, and Lin Zifeng’s whereabouts are unknown. With so many formidable enemies from the Heavenly Punishment Alliance attacking South Heavenly Gate, now that they’re at the mountain’s foothill, if it drags on and Lin Zifeng doesn’t show up. The army at South Heavenly Gate might become demoralized, then if the army of South Heavenly Gate collapses, even the celestial immortals may not be able to salvage the situation.

The army’s morale is something, without its commander, what can you hold onto...

"Lin Zifeng! Where are you right now? The situation with South Heavenly Gate is critical, if you can’t come in time. Do you know that the South Heavenly Gate you’ve built might be completely obliterated!"

Looking at the lush greenery ahead and the white mist cloaking the mountain range, the usually resolute hearted Nangong Bing had tears welling in her eyes, she feared, feared losing her father. Feared losing the friends she once worked with, feared losing her family, and feared losing South Heavenly Gate, if South Heavenly Gate collapsed, Lin Zifeng would surely go insane... This would be a terrifying outcome...

Two crystal teardrops rolled down her snow-white visage and fell onto the Star Ring in her hand. Yet as her tears fell onto the Star Ring, elsewhere, in the depths of Dark Prison accompanying the demon-natured Holy War, Lin Zifeng’s Magic Bracelet shimmered incessantly...

"Hmm? What’s going on? Why is the Magic Bracelet flickering nonstop?"

Walking behind the demon-natured Holy War, Lin Zifeng pondered as they ventured deeper, but since the Magic Bracelet began flickering, it hadn’t stopped, giving Lin Zifeng a bad feeling.

"Could something have happened at South Heavenly Gate?" Lin Zifeng was filled with doubts, but he couldn’t leave right now, leaving Dark Prison at this moment would make re-entering extremely difficult.

"Kid, what are you thinking?"

The handsome man suddenly lifted his head and shouted with a grin.

"Nothing." Lin Zifeng shook his head, continuing alongside the demon-natured Holy War as they delved further.

"Hmm? Why is it still flickering?" Lin Zifeng’s doubts resurfaced, because even in danger, the Magic Bracelet usually only flickered a few times as a reminder. But now, the frequency seemed much higher than before.

"Damn! Kid, what kind of demon has possessed you? Hurry up and keep up, in this pitch-black place, damn it, if you lose the demon-natured Holy War, where will we find it then?"

The handsome man lunged forward and bit his thigh.

"Beat it!" Lin Zifeng kicked out.

Swish!

A flash of light as the handsome man dodged his kick. Laughing heartily, he said, "Missed it, missed it, missed it..."

"..." Lin Zifeng couldn’t be bothered with it, this dead dog was thick-skinned like a fortress.

He could only continue to delve deeper with his mind full of doubts...

......Meanwhile, at the headquarters of South Heavenly Gate in the South District of Zhonghai City......

Zhang Mengjie gathered all forces and people together, yet tonight’s battle might well determine who will rule Zhonghai! For the Green Gang and Hongmen have occupied all three regions east, west, and north of Zhonghai.

Tonight... is undoubtedly the day of the decisive battle for Zhonghai, if they lose. From then on, there’ll be no more South Heavenly Gate in Zhonghai! But if they win, the power from Green Gang and Hongmen’s backlash would be utterly crushed!

Zhang Mengjie assembled the most steadfast forces of South Heavenly Gate, about fifty thousand people!

These fifty thousand people are the backbone of South Heavenly Gate, its strongest support. With them benefiting greatly from forty percent of the Hai Family’s industry, these fifty thousand naturally aren’t on the same level as the Green Gang and Hongmen disciples. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Moreover, most notable is that under Red Eagle’s leadership, the Twelve Warhawks have all emerged from seclusion, receiving benefits from the Hai Family, their combat power has significantly increased. Albeit only Red Eagle had some Spiritual Sense, the others showed little Consciousness, obeying only Red Eagle’s orders...

A mighty fifty thousand strong, under the leadership of Zhang Mengjie from the former Butterfly Gang, this time their target is straightforward, the Green Gang!

Before setting out, Zhang Mengjie looked up at the dark sky, with whirlwinds and rolling thunder, as if a heavy storm was looming. Clouds covered the sky, once it calmed down, Zhang Mengjie withdrew her gaze only to have a tear glisten down her cheek. At that moment, a smile tugged at the corners of her mouth, perhaps after tonight’s battle, she’ll never see Lin Zifeng again.

It’s possible, just possible, Lin Zifeng is already gone now. In her heart, he is merely a memory, perhaps after tonight’s battle, she’ll go join him...
