Apocalyptic Flood: Sexy Beauty Neighbor's Midnight Plea for Food Chapter 1239 - 574: Dove Faction Response

Cangqiong Mountain, within the ethereal embrace of Cloud Mist Island.

"Hahaha, so you're telling me Yuan Shijie encountered a significant setback this time?"

Zhang Yujiang, adorned in a military uniform, his silver-white hair framing a rugged countenance, could not suppress a hearty laugh upon hearing that his long-standing rival had hit an unexpected roadblock.

Beside him, a bald man, also clad in military attire, inquired with evident curiosity, "Is this Leader of Yangshan truly that formidable?"

"I am well aware of Ding Huaiyi's capabilities. While his principal attribute might not reach the 100-point mark, with the aid of comprehensive military equipment, his combat strength is not inferior to someone possessing a full 100 points."

"Furthermore, several figures at the regimental level, through various advanced gears, are also capable of exerting a combat power equivalent to 100 points in their main attribute."

"If this weren't the case, we would have already subdued the Hawk Faction."

At this juncture, a woman from below interjected, "I believe this presents us with an opportunity."

The woman was dressed in a military uniform, her short hair cascading to her shoulders. Though devoid of makeup, her face was stunning, possessing delicate skin and a high-bridged nose.

Her voice, remarkably clear and melodious, drew the attention of both Feng Jiangong and Zhang Yujiang, who turned their gaze towards her.

Zhang Yujiang, with a warm smile, inquired, "Comrade Zhang Wenjing, what are your insights?"

Zhang Wenjing offered a slight smile and stated, "Rumors suggest our Dove Faction is not as potent as the Hawk Faction, yet currently, the military's sole floating island is under our control."

"Our radio transmissions have disseminated extensive rune technology, rules for doomsday water rescues, and similar vital information, thereby saving countless lives."

"We are the genuine inheritors of the principles that guided the people's soldiers before the Great Flood, embodying the true spirit of putting the people first."

"Yuan Shijie, that opportunist and extremist, will never manage to establish a significant power base."

"I have long asserted that his downfall was inevitable."

"I strongly suspect that the opportune moment for his demise has arrived!"

Feng Jiangong prompted, "Comrade Wenjing, please elaborate."

Zhang Yujiang, too, cast his gaze upon his daughter.

Zhang Wenjing's eyes sparkled with intellect as she declared, "I have delved into the intelligence regarding this Liang Yuan from Yangshan."

"He commands immense respect among the general populace, and numerous tales circulate about him. Both the order and the overall atmosphere within his Yangshan are highly praised across all the Linjiang shelters."

"Such a leader, whose philosophy for shelter development closely aligns with our Dove Faction's principles of salvation."

"I am of the opinion that we can win him over to our side."

"Should we manage to bring Yangshan into our alliance, the threat posed by the Hawk Faction would simply dissolve on its own."

Feng Jiangong inquired with intrigue, "Do you truly hold such a high regard for this individual?"

Zhang Wenjing retrieved a document and presented it to the two men, stating, "This contains the information I have meticulously gathered."

"Yangshan is no longer a mere ordinary force. According to the intelligence I've acquired, this Liang Yuan has very likely achieved the 100-point breakthrough in his primary attribute."

"Furthermore, he vanished over a month ago while aboard the Dark Attribute Floating Island, only to reappear now exhibiting such astonishing power."

"My suspicion is that he has successfully refined that Dark Attribute Floating Island."

Upon hearing this revelation, Feng Jiangong and Zhang Yujiang exhibited subtle shifts in their expressions.

Feng Jiangong stated with a grave tone, "If he has indeed refined a floating island, then he certainly possesses the qualifications to partner with us."

He himself had been the one to refine the Brain Core of Cloud Mist Island, and consequently, he intimately understood the immense potential and resources that came with refining such a celestial body.

Zhang Yujiang, grasping the full implications of this news, also adopted a more serious demeanor.

"Is this information verifiable?" he questioned.

Zhang Wenjing nodded affirmatively, stating, "There is an eighty to ninety percent probability of its accuracy. In fact, we should have initiated contact with the people of Yangshan much sooner."

"Yangshan's Space King, Li Qinghua, has refined a Spatial Floating Island – an accomplishment that surpasses even our current capabilities."

"For this reason alone, it is exceptionally worthwhile for us to seek their allegiance."

"Initially, when he sought aid from our military base, we were a step too late, and Yuan Shijie from Cangqiong Mountain managed to reach him first."

"Now that Yuan Shijie's true ambitions have been laid bare, I am confident that the people of Yangshan are fully aware of his deceptive nature. It should not prove difficult for us to win them over at this juncture."

The Dove Faction had, from the outset, harbored the intention of recruiting Li Qinghua.

Within the current understanding shared by all the faction leaders, it was generally agreed that only those who commanded a floating island could truly establish and maintain a territory, possessing the indispensable means for survival in the perilous Flood World.

And it was universally acknowledged that the future would indeed unfold in a drastically different manner.

The advent of floating islands signified the emergence of mobile territories.

Consequently, the traditional boundaries of territories were destined to become increasingly indistinct.

The very concept of a nation might soon fade into obsolescence.

In the world after the great Flood, various factions would emerge, with floating islands serving as their territories.

However, upon his arrival, Li Qinghua found himself immediately apprehended by the military’s Hawk Faction.

Unaware of the internal military politics, Li Qinghua mistakenly believed Yuan Shijie was the supreme commander.

He was entirely ignorant of the existence of a Dove Faction within the military.

Liang Yuan himself only became aware of this division after Wu Meng brought it to his attention.

"Indeed, their simultaneous control over two floating islands warrants serious consideration," Feng Jiangong agreed, nodding his head.

Zhang Yujiang then stated, "Wenjing, I shall entrust this matter to you."

"Understood. I will dispatch someone to initiate contact immediately," she replied.

...

"Boom!"

A deafening explosion ripped through the snowy landscape.

Suddenly, the snow cover fractured, revealing a vast expanse of floodwater hidden beneath the surface.

A figure burst forth from the water, erupting through the surface in a shower of spray.

Wen Fang clutched his chest, spewing a mouthful of fresh blood.

Nevertheless, as the superpower energy within his body circulated, misty vapors were absorbed into his form.

In a short span, his complexion regained its healthy color, and his internal injuries rapidly mended.

Taking a deep, steadying breath, Wen Fang spared no time, commencing a desperate sprint towards Denggong Mountain.

Denggong Mountain was an initial stronghold established by the Water God Sect.

It had consistently been the sect's central hub even prior to their acquisition of the Miyuan Rainforest Floating Island.

Following the Water God Sect's successful annexation of the Miyuan Rainforest Floating Island, the higher echelons of their organization relocated to the Miyuan Rainforest.

The Water God Sect's most formidable entity, the Tide Mastermind, had already been transferred to the Miyuan Rainforest.

The central holy authority had also completely shifted its operations to this new location.

Only the Drowning Spirit Guard and the Abyssal Stalker Team remained stationed at Denggong Mountain.

The esteemed Four Great Priests were integral components of the Central Holy Power.

The entirety of the Central Holy Power comprised four major organizations: the Tidal Main Brain, the Pure Water Holy Corps, the Four Great Priests, and the Abyss Archive.

Currently, among the Four Great Priests, Plague Priest Han Tai and Heavy Water Priest Deng Ze had been dispatched into the Shadow World by Liang Yuan.

The remaining Life Priest, Wu Wenfang, was in full flight, urgently making his way back to Guangfu.

At this critical juncture, Wu Wenfang bypassed Denggong Mountain, instead heading at high speed towards the Miyuan Rainforest.

"Quickly, I must reach the Miyuan Rainforest and alert the Pure Water Holy Corps! This situation is extremely perilous!"

Wu Wenfang was consumed by worry; the individual named Liang was a terrifying adversary.

Since mastering Dark Attribute Power, the Shadow World he could summon was simply unbeatable.

Even now, he could not conceive of a method to counteract his opponent's [Dark Abyss Mouth] ability.

It filled him with profound astonishment and a chilling fear.

"That Liang must have successfully refined the Heart Core and Brain Core of that Floating Island; that must be the reason his strength has surged to 100 points."

"Deng Ze has undoubtedly met his demise at his hands as well."

"At this point, our only recourse is to request intervention from the Pure Water Holy Corps."

In the vicinity of Denggong Mountain, a massive Floating Island materialized in the expansive snowy plains ahead.

Remarkably, the vegetation adorning this colossal Floating Island was exceptionally lush and vibrant.

Furthermore, these plants were generally tall and large, predominantly consisting of broadleaf species.

It bore a striking resemblance to a tropical primeval forest.

Even more astonishingly, the entire rainforest appeared to be enclosed within a shimmering azure Barrier, enveloping it completely.

Snowflakes descended from the sky but failed to penetrate this rainforest.

Instead, upon contact with the azure Barrier, they transmuted into droplets and were absorbed into it.

Within this protective Barrier, intermittent heavy rainfall occurred, efficiently managing the excess moisture accumulated in the Barrier.

Upon witnessing this Barrier-enclosed Rainforest, Wu Wenfang could not suppress a sigh of relief.

This was the Water God Sect's own Floating Island, the Miyuan Rainforest!

It was revered as a sacred ground by all adherents of the Water God Sect.

Every disciple of the Water God Sect felt immense pride and honor residing within the Miyuan Rainforest.

They dedicated their lives, even willing to make the ultimate sacrifice, simply for the chance to inhabit this paradise.

Buzz!

As Wu Wenfang drew closer, his body, imbued with Water Attribute energy, seamlessly merged with the Barrier, allowing him to pass through undetected.

However, the moment he crossed the threshold, an immediate buzzing sound emanated from a section of the Barrier.

A jet of water surged forth from the rainforest instantly.

"Woo—!"

The stream of water coalesced into a razor-sharp arrow, hurtling directly towards him with a whistling sound.

Wu Wenfang sternly rebuked, "How dare you!"

He produced a Rune Bone and hurled it skyward.

Instantly, the Rune Bone ignited with an inscription, intercepting the water arrow head-on.

With a resounding impact, the water arrow disintegrated, and the light radiating from the Rune Bone intensified.

Abruptly, a cloaked figure emerged from the nearby creek in the distance.

"Life Priest, esteemed sir!"

A jolt of surprise ran through the newcomer upon seeing Wu Wenfang, and they immediately hurried to offer a greeting.

Wu Wenfang, without pausing for extended pleasantries, stated his urgent need: "I must go to the Ark to interface with the Tidal Main Brain. My objective is to summon the Pure Water Holy Corps and the Knowledge Priest from the Abyss Archive."

The cloaked figure reacted with alarm, quickly bowing with fists clasped, "Understood!"

The two then swiftly went their separate ways.

Wu Wenfang propelled himself forward like a rushing current, making haste toward the location of the Central Holy Power.

Before long, having covered more than half the expanse of the forest, the path ahead suddenly opened into a brightly lit area.

A colossal, egg-shaped structure formed by a gigantic arch dominated the view within the rainforest.

Not far off, the Drowning Spirit Guard conducted their patrols, while the Abyssal Stalkers maintained their watchful posts from the surrounding shadows.

Noticing Wu Wenfang, those passing by offered respectful salutes.

It wasn't until he reached the building's entrance that a Drowning Spirit Guard requested his identification, maintaining a professional distance rather than showing deference.

"My apologies, Life Priest."

Wu Wenfang waved a dismissive hand, "In the Ark Holy Land, such caution is paramount. You acted correctly."

With that, he proceeded inside.

The interior of this eggshell-like structure was extraordinarily opulent, exuding a palpable sense of advanced technology.

Endless white corridors stretched out, with the floors and walls merging seamlessly.

Although no visible light fixtures were present, the walls themselves emanated a soft, natural white luminescence, bathing everything in a light akin to that of incandescent lamps.

A steady stream of researchers, clad in pristine white coats, passed by, acknowledging Wu Wenfang with greetings as they encountered him.

Wu Wenfang, not breaking his stride, headed directly toward a expansive corridor.

"I request an audience with the Tidal Main Brain!"

Upon hearing his request, the personnel stationed at the entrance regarded Wu Wenfang and responded, "Priest, kindly hold for a moment; we must verify your credentials."

Wu Wenfang presented his identification Rune Bone for their inspection.

The staff swiftly cross-referenced the details and gave a slight nod, "You may proceed."

Stepping aside, they allowed Wu Wenfang to move quickly into the inner sanctum.

The walkway was spacious and carried a slight chill, offering a considerable comfort compared to the frigid world outside.

After navigating the passage, a vast, cavernous hall unfolded before him.

At its core lay a circular pool, within which a transparent sphere contained a floating entity.

Encased within this sphere, three distinct brain-like organs pulsed rhythmically. Countless tentacle-like appendages, resembling a complex neural network, radiated outwards, with dozens of thick tendrils submerged within the pool.

This was the most enigmatic entity of the Water God Sect: the Tidal Main Brain!
