Ge Liangen arrives to find Zhao Liang brutally injured and demands to know who is responsible. Gu Feng admits to it, citing Zhao Liang's violation of Yangshan's rules. Gao Jie and Shi Haizhu confront Ge Liangen, asserting Yangshan's authority. Ge Liangen remains defiant, but an ambush by Wu Ying and Gao Jie's illusions distract him. Tu Long seizes the opportunity, using a sealed arrow to kill Zhao Liang, enraging Ge Liangen.

Ge Liangen instantly erupted in fury!

This group, lacking the capability to face him directly, had instead employed treacherous schemes to eliminate Zhao Liang, the very person he was sworn to protect!

There was no question that this was a profound humiliation directed at him.

At this juncture, Ge Liangen felt an overwhelming surge of anger, threatening to explode from within.

He had actually been outmaneuvered by such a band of individuals!

Bang!

Ge Liangen's Spiritual Power surged like a raging ocean tide, instantly manifesting into an myriad of spiritual blades that ceaselessly rained down upon Tu Long and his companions!

[Spirit Slash]!

These ethereal and intangible spiritual blades howled through the air, launching outwards with explosive force.

Tu Long's countenance shifted subtly, and he swiftly executed a roll across the ground. In that critical moment, a skeletal hand materialized behind him, while a menacing skull emerged, rapidly coalescing into a formidable spiritual defense barrier enveloping him.

Concurrently, he activated a Spirit Turtle Shield Talisman Stone he possessed!

With both spiritual power defenses engaged, he bellowed, "Ge Liangen, do you truly dare to act further?!"

"Everyone, heed my command! Lock your aim onto Ge Liangen!" Shi Haizhu's voice boomed.

Instantly, all the individuals from Yangshan raised their firearm barrels, directing them squarely at Ge Liangen's position.

Ge Liangen's expression flickered, his furious fervor momentarily faltering.

While his Main Attribute was formidable, it was insufficient to withstand the combined onslaught of hundreds of adversaries!

More critically, the weaponry these individuals wielded were Superpower Weapons, specifically Energy Guns.

A single Energy Gun shot might not pose a significant threat.

However, with hundreds of barrels aimed at him, even his robust Telekinesis Defense would struggle to endure such a concentrated barrage.

Perceiving the imminent danger, Ge Liangen rapidly retreated, making a swift dash towards Zhang Dazhi.

At this very moment, Zhang Dazhi's own expression was equally grave, and the soldiers surrounding him likewise raised their weapons, taking aim at the people from Yangshan.

Both factions found themselves on the precipice of open conflict, a single misstep or the first shot poised to ignite widespread chaos!

Precipitous snow began to fall from the sky, blanketing the scene, and the palpable tension between the two groups reached an acute peak.

Just then, a lone silhouette descended from the heavens.

With each deliberate step, fragments of floating ice formed beneath his feet.

He raised a hand and struck towards the space betwixt the two factions!

Rumble!

A terrifying whirlwind of ice and snow erupted, rapidly coalescing into a colossal Ice Wall that materialized between the opposing forces!

All eyes turned upwards, and a wave of elation swept across the faces of the Yangshan contingent.

"Captain Zhao!"

"Captain Zhao has arrived!"

Zhang Dazhi and Ge Liangen simultaneously directed their gazes towards the newcomer.

The individual appeared clad in ice-blue Armor, adorned with a golden headdress, his azure hair flowing amidst the falling snowflakes, and encircled by countless ethereal Ice Blades.

"Zhao Kai!"

Zhang Dazhi's pupils contracted slightly, his visage betraying a solemn mien.

Ge Liangen also narrowed his eyes subtly.

Within the entirety of Yangshan, the only two figures they genuinely held in awe were Zhao Kai, standing before them, and Li Qinghua, residing within the Mirage Snake Space!

Due to the covetous attention of the Three Great Sects, Li Qinghua rarely ventured outside the confines of the Mirage Snake Space.

Consequently, the affairs pertaining to Yangshan invariably fell under Zhao Kai's purview.

Presently, Zhao Kai's Main Attribute had reached an impressive 74 points. Furthermore, his infrequent consumption of mutant creature meat had resulted in minimal gene mixing, leaving his Superpower Energy purity exceptionally high and his Spiritual Power exceptionally potent.

Despite his Main Attribute being a mere 74 points, his actual combat prowess was on par with, if not exceeding, that of a Space Gene master hovering around 80 points.

Zhao Kai executed a graceful leap, landing atop the colossal Ice Wall. His countenance was frigid, and he directed a cold, piercing gaze at both Zhang Dazhi and Ge Liangen.

"Are you seeking death?"

His words, imbued with an icy chill, sent shivers down one's spine.

Across the divide, Zhang Dazhi and Ge Liangen exchanged glances, their expressions shifting simultaneously.

Ge Liangen scoffed, "Zhao Kai, you've certainly grown bold, speaking to us in such a manner?"

Zhang Dazhi also intoned deeply, "Zhao Kai, your people are responsible for the deaths of my soldiers. If you cannot provide a satisfactory explanation for this incident, I will not let this matter rest!"

"An explanation? Heh, Zhang Dazhi, you dare to demand an explanation from me?"

Zhao Kai let out a derisive laugh, unfurling a sheaf of documents before casually flinging them forward!

The folded papers sailed through the air, directly towards Zhang Dazhi.

Zhang Dazhi's gaze sharpened, and with a swift movement, he extended his hand, catching the documents in mid-air.

Zhao Kai's voice resonated, "Therefore, tell me, concerning the transgressions documented herein, to whom should I direct my request for an explanation?"

Zhang Dazhi's brow furrowed as he opened the documents, his expression altering significantly upon perusal.

The papers meticulously detailed the various crimes perpetrated by military personnel on Yangshan Island over the preceding month and a half.

These included the appropriation of Yangshan's vital food supplies, the illicit hunting of Yangshan's mutant beasts, the clandestine establishment of private mines, and the pilfering of resources from the Superpower Stone Mine, among other offenses.

Every single incident was accompanied by precise records, even including specific dates!

Only then did Zhang Dazhi grasp the full extent of the military’s recent activities on Yangshan, realizing they had been systematically observed by Zhao Kai all along!

The residents of Yangshan were not oblivious; they had simply been biding their time!

Now that the man known as Liang had reappeared, they had decided to unveil their plans!

Zhang Dazhi inhaled sharply, a flicker of bewilderment crossing his face.

What was it about this Liang that could transform these normally timid individuals into such sudden bravery?

With a stern demeanor, he directed a gaze at Zhao Kai, idly clutching the documents in his hand.

Bang!

Suddenly, a surge of mystic Energy erupted from his palm, instantly reducing all the papers to fine dust.

Zhang Dazhi then spoke, his voice deliberate: "Utterly baseless. Zhao Kai, do you truly believe these flimsy papers can fabricate accusations against us?"

"Do you not recall who eagerly sought our aid in Guangfu, requesting assistance to confront the Three Great Sects?"

"What, you think you're invincible now that we've driven the Three Great Sects into hiding? Are you contemplating severing ties once the danger has passed?"

"Heh, isn't that rather impulsive of you?"

Zhang Dazhi vehemently denied the accusations contained within the documents, even turning the tables by accusing the Yangshan populace of ingratitude.

Zhao Kai's expression remained composed: "Zhang Dazhi, my standing supersedes yours. You may incinerate as many documents as you wish."

"However, whether you acknowledge it or not, my forces have already commenced apprehensions of those implicated in these transgressions."

"Your illicit mines will be sealed today, and any pilfered Superpower Stones will be confiscated."

"Cease mentioning the Three Great Sects. The sole reason for your involvement was Qinghua's offer of fifty Space Gene Species as compensation; that's the only reason you agreed to lend your support."

"Among us, it's merely a contractual arrangement. Do not presume your military holds the position of benefactor."

"Do you imagine that with these fifty Space Gene Species, we couldn't secure reinforcements from any number of factions?"

"Furthermore, was your presence truly intended as assistance?"

"The Three Great Sects haven't mounted a single organized assault, yet your contingent has been residing in Yangshan for over a month, not only consuming our provisions but also absconding with our valuable resources."

"Do you genuinely believe these actions have gone unnoticed by us?"

"You have continuously probed the boundaries set by the Yangshan people, repeatedly challenging our established order. Do you truly think we are unaware of your underlying motives?"

Zhao Kai’s biting retorts struck the ears of every military attendant present.

The countenances of Zhang Dazhi and Ge Liangen contorted, turning noticeably grim.

Zhao Kai was publicly denouncing their alliance. Was this a complete severance of ties with the military?

How could they possibly permit such a development?

Zhang Dazhi drew another deep breath, his voice now laced with icy resolve: "Zhao Kai, do you intend to completely sever our relationship?"

"Never forget, the Three Great Sects are perpetually observing."

Ge Liangen spat out in disgust: "Ungrateful wretches. Old Zhang, let's pull our troops back. We'll see how these provincial folk manage against the might of the Three Great Sects!"

Zhang Dazhi remained silent, his gaze fixed coldly on Zhao Kai, awaiting his response.

Zhao Kai's expression betrayed no change, remaining placid: "If you wish to withdraw your forces, then depart immediately. And take heed, do not abscond with so much as a single needle or thread from Yangshan!"

"Should you dare to take anything further, do not hold me accountable for initiating hostilities!"

Zhang Dazhi's features stiffened, a faint shadow of embarrassment crossing his face.

They had actually dared to order him to withdraw his troops!

Previously, he could wield this threat as leverage, compelling either Zhao Kai or Li Qinghua to capitulate without daring to refuse!

Had these individuals truly lost their minds this time?

Did they genuinely wish for him to withdraw his forces!

Damn it all, could it be solely due to the reappearance of that individual surnamed Liang?

They couldn't possibly believe that placing their faith in someone called Liang would be sufficient to repel the combined strength of the Three Great Sects, could they?

Zhang Dazhi hesitated to make a hasty retreat, aware that while the military high command had dispatched him to Yangshan, their true objective was not genuine assistance.

A humiliating withdrawal would undoubtedly result in an unfavorable reception upon his return.

Zhang Dazhi took a deliberate breath and stated with gravitas: "Zhao Kai, you are young. I shall refrain from engaging in further dispute with you. Summon Li Qinghua; I wish to converse with him!"

"He was the one who extended the initial invitation. If he desires our departure, he must voice it himself. You lack the authority to negotiate with me!"

Zhao Kai offered a grin, a cold smirk playing on his lips: "Heh, my apologies, but I most certainly possess the requisite authority!"

"The true sovereign of Yangshan has returned. Whether one possesses authority rests solely with him, not with you."

"Allow me to reiterate: if you choose to remain, you may. However, you must surrender every one of your transgressing subordinates."

"Should you refuse their handover, we shall proceed with their arrest, and the ensuing conflict will be far from orderly."

"Do not say that Yangshan Sect did not give the military face!"

"You—" Zhang Dazhi was utterly enraged, his temper surging within his chest.

Ge Liangen could not hold back any longer and let out a furious curse, "Damn you, Zhao, who do you think you are to speak to us in such a manner?"

"If this were the military, I’d beat you up in a heartbeat, believe it or not!"

Zhao Kai responded with a sneer, taunting, "Not satisfied? Then come and fight if you dare!"

"Damn it, Old Zhang, did you hear that? This scoundrel is practically begging for it, you can’t blame me!"

Whoosh—!

In the very next moment, Ge Liangen launched himself forward with fierce momentum.

Propelled by Telekinesis flight while suspended in mid-air, his cape billowed dramatically!

Whoosh!

A torrent of Flying Sabers was unleashed without restraint, transforming into a tempestuous storm of silver light and shadow, whirling and ripping through the air.

Within this maelstrom of flashing sabers, countless Spirit Slashes were interwoven!

It was a deceptive blend of illusion and reality, rendering its trajectory utterly unpredictable.

Ge Liangen unleashed his full power from the very outset!

Zhao Kai, positioned atop his Ice Wall formation, surveyed the onslaught with nothing but a cold, dismissive smirk.

"Trivial tricks, Flying Sabers, I wield them as well!"

With a sudden wave of his hand, whoosh!

The surrounding Ice Blades surged outward with incredible speed, morphing into a myriad of ghostly white apparitions that rushed forward with a mournful howl.

Concurrently, a colossal Turtle Shell-like Ice Armor materialized around him, providing an impenetrable shield of defense!

Zero-Degree Armor!

This Zero-Degree Armor had undergone an evolution; it no longer merely encased his body but possessed the ability to expand at will, encompassing a considerable area.

Clang, clang, clang...

The ferocity of the silver saber lights collided head-on with the incoming Ice Sabers, igniting a cacophony of explosive, thunderous crashes.

Shards of ice exploded outward, while the edges of the silver sabers fractured.

Simultaneously, an onslaught of Spirit Slashes rained down rapidly upon the icy-blue Turtle Shell encasing Zhao Kai!

Bang, bang, bang!

The icy-blue Turtle Shell resonated with resounding booms, astonishingly repelling these potent Spiritual Attacks!

"What kind of Armor is this? How can it possibly withstand my Spiritual Attacks?" Ge Liangen was utterly dumbfounded.
