“Tan Ning?” Chu Yunsheng suddenly opened his eyes.
“Yes… she… she already…” Edgar stuttered.
“Already what? Just say it.” Seeing Edgar stuttered, Chu Yunsheng had a bad feeling.
“Mr. Lennon, she has already become the fifth heaven’s messenger of the Duo Neng race.” Edgar took a deep breath and said.
“What!” Chu Yunsheng couldn’t believe what he had just heard. He instantly sat up from the sofa and stared at Edgar.
“Mr. Lennon, calm down… she was taken away by the Ice Race after the battle of the yellow mountain. At that time, everyone thought you were dead. So she no longer had any values to the Ice Race.
She was later sold to Duo Neng race by the Ice Race. The Duo Neng race seemed to give the Ice Race some information about an important technology in exchange for Tan Ning.”
Chu Yunsheng’s heart sank. He didn’t expect that the Duo Neng race still succeeded. He was walking back and forth next to the sofa thinking about what to do. But suddenly he realized something.
“How do you know all of this.” he suddenly stared at Edgar coldly.
Edgar shook his body in fear. “after she became the heaven’s messenger, she has been here for a few times.” He quickly answered.
“When was that?” Chu Yunsheng asked again.
“The last time… last time, was about half a year ago. Then, she never came back again.” Edgar thought for a second and said.
“Half a year, several months ago…” Chu Yunsheng murmured. His voice was getting lower and lower. At the same time, his heart was getting colder and colder. ‘Half a year ago, Shang arrived on Earth, Jin Ling City re-appeared above New York City. 127 flying machines, five alliances, Chu Clan, Duo Neng race, the heaven’s messengers, Tan Ning… the fifth… siege… suicide…’
He suddenly took a deep breath. There was something heavy in his chest, he just couldn’t vent it.
“Maybe she is no longer the girl I met.” Chu Yunsheng gritted his teeth and let out a sigh.
“Shit!” Chu Yunsheng suddenly cursed. He quickly glanced around and said. “Edgar, hurry up! Don’t prepare your stuff. They are coming!”
If Tan Ning came here more than once, and with the Duo Neng race’s ability, they would definitely install something here to monitor them. This place was not Zhiwu forest where everything was under the ruler’s watch.
“Mr…” Edgar also began to sweat.
“Knock, knock, knock”
It was at this moment, three clear door-knocking sounds suddenly appeared. It instantly startled Edgar.
Chu Yunsheng signaled Edgar to be quiet, he himself also activated his amour and drew the sword. Then he signaled Edgar to slowly open the door again.
“Who is it? Xiao Jiang? Is it you?” Edgar asked nervously.
“Doctor, it is us. Open the door.” The voice didn’t belong to Jing Mouyou, it belonged to another woman.
Chu Yunsheng couldn’t recognize the voice, so he looked at Edgar.
“Jiang Qianqin.” Edgar said quietly.
Chu Yunsheng nodded his head, slowly stepped back and moved into the dark corner. He still clenched his sword and got ready for the fight.
Edgar slowly opened the door and looked outside.
“Old Black, what took you so long. Where is grandpa?” A man suddenly rushed in and pushed Edgar aside. He was looking left and right trying to find someone.
Edgar ignored him, he quickly signaled the rest of the people to come in, and before he closed the door, he also made sure that there was no one in the corridor.
“Is everyone here?” Chu Yunsheng slowly walked out of the dark corner and said. He didn’t deactivate his armor because he didn’t know when they would be here, or they might have already been here already. Moreover, both Cao Zhengyi and Jiang Qianqin didn’t know what he looked like, he also didn’t want to waste time explaining to them.
“Mr. Chu, is it really you?” Jiang Qianqin asked with suspicion.
“Yes, it is grandpa, definitely is, no one has this kind of armor.” Cao Zhengyi said excitedly.
“That’s enough. The plan has just changed, Edgar and I need to leave now.” Chu Yunsheng said sternly. He then quickly added. “Duo Neng race will be here very soon. Once we start the fight, this place will be destroyed. In terms of the rest, I’ll explain to you the next time we meet. Edgar, let’s go.”
Then, Chu Yunsheng began to drag Edgar out of the room. He didn’t run out of the building. Instead, he headed straight towards the roof. He wanted those crystal-dressed beings to take them away as soon as possible.
By following the method that the veiled woman taught him, Chu Yunsheng sent out the signal using the cube that she gave to him. Soon, the space above them became distorted and the sharp tip of the cube slowly appeared in their sights. However, a few seconds later, the tip suddenly stopped descending. It then quickly disappeared into the distorted space again.
Chu Yunsheng’s heart instantly sank. They were still late. The Duo Neng race was there.
“Edgar, I can’t fight them here. You find a place to hide. Let me lure them away first.” Right after he said it, he wanted to jump off the roof.
It was at this moment, a triangular-shaped flying machine glowing in the fierce cold gleam suddenly flew over his head and stopped in front of him.
“Chu Yunsheng, if you don’t want to get them killed, then get on this ship!” said coldly by a woman who was dressed in a combat suit in the hologram image that had suddenly been projected from the front tip of the flying machine.
“Tan Ning?” Chu Yunsheng immediately stopped pulling the string of the bow he had taken out.
“I know you have the ability to destroy this ship, but if I want to catch you, you think that I would only send out just one ship? I can only stall them for three minutes. After three minutes, a powerful fleet will arrive. Without any flying machines, you can’t get anywhere. At that time, this city will end up like Shu Du city!” Tan Ning said coldly while having an indifferent expression on her face.
“This ship was made by the Metal Race. Not only is it very fast, but it is also fully automated. All the coordinates have been set already. It will fly straight to America. Let’s go. You have two minutes left now.”
“Why do you want to help me?” Chu Yunsheng asked coldly. Despite being upset about this whole thing, he still needed to find out why she wanted to help him.
“You saved me once. Now I am giving what I owed back to you. After this, Chu Yunsheng, I don’t owe you anything! And if we meet again, we will only be enemies.” Tan Ning said coldly. Her indifferent expression still didn’t change.
Chu Yunsheng sneered. But he didn’t say anything to her. Instead, he asked Edgar. “Edgar, are you scared?”
“I am… but I want to go home!” Edgar gritted his teeth and said.
“Then, let’s go!” Chu Yunsheng walked towards the ramp that the ship had slowly put down without any hesitation.
Hearing what Chu Yunsheng asked Edgar, Tan Ning’s cold and indifferent expression suddenly changed in the hologram image. Her body even shook slightly, and her eyes were filled with desolate, sad, and lonely lusters. However, lusters only existed very briefly.
In a huge underground base far away from Wu city, a pretty girl turned off the communication tool and closed her eyes.
“If only it could be all the same as we first met…” as she murmured quietly tears also began to run down from her face.
