Chapter 1628: Chapter 960: Linjiang Remnants

"Dr. An, no matter what, we must clarify the danger of Yangshan to Lord God this time. Otherwise, if Lord God underestimates Liang Yuan, the consequences could be unimaginable."

"Yes, Dr. An, as far as we know, the force led by Liang has already expanded throughout Jiangnan Province, even Kerry Technology and Mengya Company are now under his control."

"Even the once unbeatable Jin Shirong died at his hands."

Outside the Divine Palace, people were standing in a crowd, each looking anxious.

At the forefront was a woman, with a young man of strong build beside her.

The young man appeared calm, while the woman looked somewhat anxious.

Dr. An was an elderly man with an appearance matching his age, but his eyes were like hawk’s, sharp and observant.

Beside him stood several superpower adept users, among them was Pei Yuanhu, the former sect leader of Water God Sect!

Pei Yuanhu had long since broken through gene recombination, and after trading his split soul from Liang Yuan’s hands back to himself, he was one of the few from Water God Sect to retreat unscathed.

Later, when Liang Yuan turned against Guangfu Military District and swept through Guangfu, Pei Yuanhu disappeared.

No one expected him to appear here now.

Pei Yuanhu looked at the woman and said, "Shu Zhanyue, we’re taking huge risks now. You must make sure that what you’re saying is entirely truthful."

Shu Zhanyue said passionately, "I swear to the heavens, everything I said is true. In fact, if you simply send someone to investigate a bit, you’ll know how terrifying the Yangshan Shelter is now."

She turned to look at the young man beside her and pleaded, "Wu Meng, say something!"

Wu Meng’s expression remained calm, and he nodded slightly, saying, "Every word she’s saying is true."

"I don’t believe it! How could that be possible?"

Before Pei Yuanhu could speak, Huo Guodong couldn’t help but shouted.

The few people around Huo Guodong also began to voice their opinions.

Ye Zhixuan said, "Although Liang is formidable, back then he merely entered gene recombination before our sect leader did."

"It’s only been a short while. Could he really battle experts like James and Jin Shirong? How is that possible?"

Han Tianzong couldn’t help but add, "Exactly, what kind of person is Jin Shirong? He possesses the replication superpower, even Lord God seldom goes south to clash with Mengya."

"Plus James, he possesses the silent superpower, a nemesis to all superpower users. I can’t comprehend how Liang could possibly deal with them."

Fu Yuanhang said seriously, "Back then, although our Spiritual Ability Sect was defeated, it was merely a tactical retreat. Liang may be fierce, but I don’t think he’s strong to that degree."

These few individuals were originally from the Spiritual Ability Sect who fled north from Jiangnan Province early on.

Huo Guodong was the sect leader of the Spiritual Ability Sect, mastering the genetic species of the Golden Pattern Blood Locust.

With the Golden Pattern Blood Locust, he had once controlled many sect members.

Ye Zhixuan, Han Tianzong, and Fu Yuanhang were all high-ranking members of the Spiritual Ability Sect.

These individuals were all Huo Guodong’s close confidants.

They had witnessed firsthand Liang Yuan’s terrifying power when he killed Yuan Shijie, the hawk faction leader of Guangfu Military District, and fled back to the sect headquarters in fear.

Afterwards, Huo Guodong and others heard how Liang Yuan stormed the military district, wiped out Water God Sect, and seized Miyuan Rainforest Floating Island.

Immediately, the high-ranking members of Earth Mother Sect and Spiritual Ability Sect panicked and fled with resources overnight.

On the Spiritual Ability Sect side, Huo Guodong led the shadow meeting’s high-ranking members on a flight to the Divine Country, where they unexpectedly met the people from Anbian Army who had also escaped from Guangfu Military Base.

They naturally recognized the military’s scientific expert, Anbian Army, and it could be said that Yuan Shijie’s success in entering gene recombination was entirely due to him.

Anbian Army leveraged his advantage as a researcher and successfully joined Divine Country’s research department, becoming Dr. An once again.

Many test subjects he brought back from Guangfu Military Base, including the 932 test subject, were precious data.

Consequently, Anbian Army gained importance again, and he used his status to lure Spiritual Ability Sect members into forming his own small faction within Divine Country.

This faction has now developed to a certain scale.

Even Shu Zhanyue was able to contact Huo Guodong and others with the tacit consent of Anbian Army.

The few from Spiritual Ability Sect were unwilling to admit that Liang was growing stronger, nor wanted to believe that Yangshan Shelter was becoming more formidable, so they subconsciously rebutted with skepticism.

After all, in their eyes, even a mighty entity like Divine Country hadn’t been able to wipe out Mengya and Kerry Technology, so by what right did Liang?

Shu Zhanyue became agitated, raising her voice, "Why don’t you believe me?"

"Have you even paid attention to the situation at Yangshan Shelter?"

"Wu Meng and I have stayed in Ji’an City for years, just a few hundred kilometers from Linjiang City. No one understands the situation there better than us."

"Do you think we fled from Ji’an City all the way here just because we yearn for Divine Country?"

"We were truly forced to the brink by Liang!"

"Now the entire Linjiang City, no, Linjiang City, Ji’an City, and even most of Yu Province’s floating and airborne islands, are all conquered by Yangshan."

"Jin Shirong has been dead for almost a month!"

"Don’t you care about the south at all?"

Shu Zhanyue felt somewhat collapsing. How could these people be so arrogant?

Liang’s abnormality and defiance of the norm, didn’t these people witness it firsthand before?

How dare they question what she said?

Wu Meng watched all this unfold silently, already sighing inwardly.

This level of strength truly left him helpless.

He had a premonition that even if this group encountered Liang Yuan again, they would likely be defeated.

Now, he only wanted to know how Lord God would handle the situation.

Ironically, he and Shu Zhanyue hadn’t even seen Lord God since joining Divine Country.

Even though they brought a floating island to pledge allegiance, they only received summons from a few of the Twelve Apostles.

In other words, their arrival hadn’t generated much attention.

Such contempt essentially reflected disdain.

Wu Meng knew it well, and honestly had little hope for Divine Country.

He was already contemplating retreat.

However, since Divine Country was in a state of war, he couldn’t take Meteor Island away.

Fortunately, he had already gathered most resources from Meteor Island before coming to Divine Country.

What happens next depends on the circumstances.

"Alright, everyone calm down."

Anbian Army frowned slightly and snapped.

His prestige among the people wasn’t low, and just a light yell made everyone quiet down, ceasing their quarrels.

Anbian Army sighed and said, "That Liang indeed has some skills. I knew he wasn’t simple when he managed to kill Yuan Shijie back then."

"At the time, when he entered the laboratory, I had set up an ambush circle and even deployed the 932 test subject for an ambush."

"Even so, it couldn’t kill him."

"At that time, the 932 test subject had already progressed to gene recombination form, with progress even exceeding Yuan Shijie back then but was still defeated by Liang."

"It shows that at that time, Liang’s gene recombination progress far surpassed the 932 test subject."

Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked.

"Dr. An, is the 932 test subject referring to Miss Bai Xiyue?" Huo Guodong couldn’t help asking.

Anbian Army nodded slightly, "Yes, she’s now been granted new life and possesses memory and name thanks to Lord God, but she’s still my most remarkable creation."

Everyone lowered their heads, not daring to make comments.

Since Miss Bai Xiyue is now serving closely to Lord God as the Divine Maiden.

The title of Divine Maiden was not for them to be commented upon.

"Dr. An, do you think Shu Zhanyue is telling the truth?" Huo Guodong asked.

Anbian Army glanced at him and responded indifferently, "What reason would Shu Zhanyue have to lie about such matters?"

"It’s something easily verified by sending someone to check it out. Do you think it’s necessary to deceive?"

"People find it hardest to accept their own incompetence."

"Guodong, you have to face the failure of the past, don’t think of it as just a coincidence."

"Liang and Yangshan Shelter are genuinely strong. We need to acknowledge and confront them head-on."

"We are all similar, we can’t think that because we can’t achieve it, others can’t either."

"Jin Shirong and James are strong, but Liang isn’t weak either."

"Now we just have to report this information upwards, and leave the handling to Lord God."

The crowd nodded in agreement.

At this moment, a maid emerged from indoors and said, "Dr. An, Lord God summons you."
