Chapter 1536: Confirming the Departure Date
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The nuclear a.r.s.enal was completely defenceless.
Osnur was very familiar with the place, so he was able to lead Chen Xiaobei directly to the a.r.s.enal.
Although the door into the a.r.s.enal was equipped with extremely high-tech locks, and was of a solid build, it was completely vulnerable to the combined forces of the Chaos Blood Sword and the Dragon's Edge.
Once the door was completely wrecked, Chen Xiaobei immediately got to work and began grabbing all the nuclear warheads while placing them into his Infinite s.p.a.ce Ring.
There were a total of 200 nuclear warheads inside the a.r.s.enal, and Chen Xiaobei plundered every one of them, leaving nothing to the Americans.
Once he was done, Chen Xiaobei used his Hydrophobe Orb to escape, dodging every American fighter and submarine that were sent there as backup.
Dragon City, Lan Family's mansion.
Chen Xiaobei made a smooth return with Lan Mengcheng, and paid a visit to her father and grandmother. He told them briefly about his plan to bring Lan Mengcheng to the Northern Wilderness Starfield.
Lan Zhengguo made no objection. When she heard that her granddaughter could return and visit anytime, Lan Mengcheng's grandmother did not make any fuss either.
After all, Chen Xiaobei was someone the Lan Family could trust. The family had nothing to worry about, sending Lan Mengcheng over to Chen Xiaobei.
Lan Mengcheng was like a young woman that was about to be married off to a far away family. As she had to leave soon, she spent most of her time accompanying her father and grandmother. She basically had no time to make flirtatious banters with Chen Xiaobei.
Meanwhile, Chen Xiaobei was not idle but kept himself busy in his room, carefully planning his next move.
“Sister Bai will be able to fix the Atlantis' portal in seven days. So, I don't have worry about anything! Apart from that, the new batch of Skybreaking Cultivation pills will be done in a day's time. After that, I can breakthrough my current cultivation to Ethereal Cultivation! Then, I can use the Daylight Cache to absorb the Bryans' Dark Neutron, so that I gain usage of the Special Ability that's stored inside! This will be very helpful when I get to Emperor Qin's tomb! The only two questions that remain… when can Li Xiang confirm the date of departure, and who are the forces that would be going with us to Emperor Qin's tomb?”
Chen Xiaobei deliberated these things in his mind. The next big mission was the search for Emperor Qin's mausoleum.
The most coveted hidden treasure on earth would surely turn many heads, and bring in an equal amount of disturbance as well.
Ding Ring Ring
It was Li Xiang calling.
Chen Xiaobei picked up immediately.
“Bro Bei! The date is set!” Li Xiang sounded very excited. “Just now, all of the Orochi's Scale parties have collectively agreed upon a time to open the tomb! It's tomorrow!”
“Tomorrow?” Chen Xiaobei was caught off guard. “Why so sudden? That's like less than half a day away! I don't mind it but would the other forces be able to get ready in time?”
Li Xiang explained, “They've already begun discussing the departure time a while ago! A general time had been agreed upon, which is within these few days! Because the foreign forces had just arrived in China, they've decided to make it tomorrow!”
“Oh, so they've all arrived. No wonder they are all so anxious!” Chen Xiaobei paused for a minute. His eyes narrowed as he asked, “Who are the people coming with?”
“From our country, we have Kunlun, Mount Shu, Xingxiu, Ancient Tomb, and the Five Mountain Swords – a total of five top-tier ancient factions! The ones from overseas include the Blood Descendants, the Vatican, Hogwarts, and the Werewolves – a total of 4 forces!”
“I heard from Old Jiang that Kunlun, Mount Shu, Xingxiu, the Blood Descendants, the Vatican, and the Wizarding School have all formed an Anti-Bei Alliance! Other than the six of these forces, the ones that have just joined, namely Ancient Tomb, Five Mountain Swords, and the Werewolves… are they friends or foe?”
Li Xiang paused for a moment to think before answering, “This is where it gets complicated. The Five Mountain Swords and Xingxiu Faction are enemies, and the Werewolves Ancient Tomb are enemies with the Blood Descendants! Since they are can't be friends, there's no way they'd join the Anti-Bei Alliance! However, I'm not too sure about the Ancient Tomb faction. This ancient faction had withdrew themselves from the world for hundreds of years. They've never gotten involved with Jianghu's matters. It's hard to tell whether they are friends or foe!”
Chen Xiaobei nodded. “Okay, I've got a picture of the situation… sort of. I'll go get ready now! Send the location to me. I'll be there early tomorrow morning!”
“Alright!”
Immediately after they hung up, Chen Xiaobei dialled another number.
The person picked up right away, and Chen Xiaobei jumped right into the topic. “h.e.l.lo, G.o.ddess of Luck? Where are you now?”
G.o.ddess of Luck!
That was the nickname Chen Xiaobei gave Liu Xuanxin.
He called her because everytime this girl was around, something lucky would always happen to him.
Chen Xiaobei had called her because he was also concerned for her safety.
Back in Atlantis, Lu Gang had announced that he had found out about Liu Xuanxin and Chen Xiaobei's intimate relations.h.i.+p!
Also, the person who had helped Lu Gang out was one of the forces back on Earth.
In other words, there was a good chance that Chen Xiaobei's enemies had already gotten their hands on this information.
To prevent the same thing that happened to Lan Mencheng from happening to Liu Xuanxin, Chen Xiaobei had to make sure that she was safe first. That way, he was saving himself from another worry.
“You finally thought of calling me? I thought you evaporated from the face of the earth!” Liu Xuanxin's melodious voice spoke from the other end of the line. She sounded annoyed, as if she was mad that Chen Xiaobei had not contacted her for so long.
“Oh.” Chen Xiaobei began to sweat. “I've been very busy recently. It's not that I did not want to contact you on purpose!”
“Alright. Why are you calling me?” Liu Xuanxin's tone softened.
“From the tone of your voice, you didn't face any problems, right?” Chen Xiaobei asked. “Where are you now? I'll go see you now!”
“I'm in Chang'an!” Liu Xuanxin paused for a moment and then asked in a concerned voice, “What about you? Where are you?”
“I'm in Dragon City. I'll be going to Chang'an tomorrow!”
“Tomorrow? You won't be able to see me tomorrow.” Liu Xuanxin replied.
“I won't see you? Why is that?” Chen Xiaobei asked.
“I'm going on a secret mission with my Sifu! We'll leave first thing in the morning!”
“Sifu?” Chen Xiaobei was suddenly nervous. “Since when do you have a Sifu? What mission is that? Tell me everything! Don't get duped!”
“Why are you so anxious? I'm not a child!” Liu Xuanxin scolded.
Chen Xiaobei quickly explained himself, “I've made enemies with very powerful people. They know about us. I'm worried that they might do something to you!”
“Oh, so you were worried about me huh? Fine then. I'll tell you.” There was a honey-like sweetness in Liu Xuanxin voice. She did not want to hide anything from Chen Xiaobei.
