Light Fortress Chapter 1787 - 422: Escape and Counterattack

The first salvo of these Green Silver Cannons was enough to kill ninety percent of the Titled Transcendents.

But Gu Shen and Bai Xiu were not among those ninety percent.

Little Xiuzi’s expression turned very unpleasant, he couldn’t believe the Chanyi City military had just fired on him... What on earth had happened in the inland? Although close to the mainland, the Spiritual Network link of the Deep Sea was still completely disconnected, he had no way to contact the inland.

"They’ve gone mad..."

Bai Xiu murmured.

Meanwhile, Gu Shen’s expression was very calm.

"They’re not mad."

Gu Shen gave a mocking smile, full of sarcasm in his laughter: "It’s the Deep Sea that’s mad."

...

...

After the first salvo of the Green Silver Cannons, the refractive barrier of the Umbrella Line was torn apart by the powerful firepower.

Wei Cheng arrived on the giant wall.

He looked nervously in the direction of the cannonfire...

Amidst the swirling snow, against the light, a vague shadow could be seen fleeing rapidly, heading away from the Umbrella Line.

That vague shadow.

Was the Black Silver Airship he came in!

Seeing Gu Shen unharmed, Wei Cheng felt a small relief, but the next moment he realized that this matter was not so simple.

There were still many Patrol Sentinels on the giant wall.

Any Transcendent near the border area at this moment cast their gaze towards the Umbrella Line location...

They were very concerned about what result that round of cannonfire had yielded.

Many of them were like Wei Cheng, believing there must be a misunderstanding due to their interaction with Gu Shen.

They hoped Gu Shen was safe, and the misunderstanding could be resolved.

But there would always be some people.

They did not think so...

The colors of this world are not just black and white, and the people of this world are not just good and bad.

For the Transcendents stationed in Chanyi City who had interacted with Gu Shen, there was a preconceived notion in their hearts.

Gu Shen is a good person, this is a misunderstanding.

But many others had not interacted with Gu Shen.

Seven years ago, they heard Gu Shen’s name.

Not long ago, they watched Gu Shen’s battle with Jia Wei...

Beyond that, their lives had no other connection to the name "Gu Shen."

The tasks of the three major armies were mostly issued directly by the Deep Sea. Over the years, Deep Sea had handled millions of Transcendent cases in the three border areas, each providing substantial help. For many in the North Continent Army, the Deep Sea was like their third eye, their third arm.

They trusted Deep Sea as if they trusted their own brains.

So the moment the wanted notice was issued.

They were shocked, they were stunned, and then... they accepted it.

Because what Deep Sea gave was not just a wanted notice but also the evidence for the warrant.

With the launch of the Green Silver Bombardment, a piece of footage was uploaded to the deep water area.

It was a conversation that took place in the Silver Fox Energy Boat.

"Gu Shen, are you going to kill me?!"

General Bai Xi’s sharp, furious, trembling voice echoed in the Energy Boat.

Gu Shen stared at him coldly.

And then responded to Bai Xi.

With nothing but endless Chi Huo.

This was an incredibly clear and complete image... After being uploaded, it quickly spread, every Transcendent in the deep water area received the Deep Sea’s push, and this footage became the fuse igniting the powder keg of public opinion.

The news about Gu Shen’s betrayal spread rapidly in a short time.

As the Chanyi City guardian, Wei Cheng’s Spirit Sea instantly received hundreds of messages.

The Eastern Continent Fleet was the first to arrive.

Gu Nanfeng directly connected to Wei Cheng’s Spiritual Link, bluntly saying, "Open the permission for the Umbrella Line, I want to lead the fleet directly into the Old World."

"That’s against the rules."

Wei Cheng found it difficult, the advice from Duke Zhuxue was to stabilize Chanyi City.

Once a concession was made, it would be hard to stop what’s coming next.

"You should know too, the so-called wanted notice is complete nonsense!"

Gu Nanfeng said coldly: "We don’t know what’s happening outside, and Gu Shen doesn’t know what’s going on inside either... After the bombardment, Gu Shen can only move deeper into the Old World, I must bring him back."

"I understand..."

Wei Cheng said with a headache: "You’ve led your team north, what about the others?"

"Do you know how many Source Energy Boats are heading north now?"

Gu Nanfeng said in a deep voice: "There are more than the number of ships in the Ice Sea Ruins! Can you stop them? If the Fortress must open, then you must let me go first! Don’t forget, my teacher is in the Old World!"

Rust Bone General is in the void of the Old World, and he went with Bai Xi.

Gu Nanfeng appeared calm.

But he was actually anxious—

In that footage, only Bai Xi was there, not Rust Bone. If something happened to Bai Xi, then what about Rust Bone?

Where is his teacher?!

"I... understand."

Wei Cheng took a deep breath and said: "I’ll open the permissions now."

A bitterly cold wind blew over the Umbrella Line.

The Eastern Continent Fleet swept over Skytop, Gu Nanfeng squinted at the fragments of Green Silver Bombs exploding, the Thunder Realm Walker and humanoid Chi Huo withstood the bombardment, and the void was filled with a strong logical gunpowder atmosphere.

Just as the fleet was about to cross the Umbrella Line, Gu Nanfeng’s Heart Lake suddenly received a familiar female voice.
