CHAPTER 684: CHAPTER 260: BACKER, JIA WEITING

Zhang Hengshan personally piloted the spaceship, fearing that another incident might occur, like someone telling them they were accused again...

They descended onto the wilderness of a planet at the fastest speed.

"Mr. Zhang!" A young girl stood in the distance, waving at them.

Zhang Hengshan was surprised to find that those who used to hide underground now appeared above ground; moreover, they seemed to be...

Relocating?

Zhang Hengshan and the others approached, and after talking with the girl, they found out that this planet had already been "liberated" by the Federation Military Department.

The civilians here will have two choices: one is to go to the future metropolitan area designated by the Federation on the planet; the other is for young people under twenty to have the opportunity to leave the planet and study in the central region.

"Mr. Zhang, I’m planning to go study in the central region. I’m only a year away from stepping into Martial Arts." The girl clenched her fist, her big eyes full of determination.

Zhang Hengshan was very relieved. He knew the girl’s father, who was once one of the brightest talents of the Federation, but ultimately died on foreign soil.

"Oh, Mr. Zhang, we met Ji Jingqiu before!" The girl suddenly shared this news excitedly.

"Ji Jingqiu?" Zhang Hengshan was a bit stunned.

If he remembered correctly, the internet has been abuzz with news about this person recently.

Some say that as soon as he entered Divine Travel, he could already confront a Heavenly Person, and there’s hearsay that he’s also Mu’s successor, which is why he entered the scene in person, walking across the western Federation...

Zhang Hengshan suddenly thought that the reason this planet was "liberated" might be related to Ji Jingqiu?

...

Cheng Xin brushed through her messy hair, the city lights lingered at the edge of her vision, somewhat blurred.

The night on this planet was a bit cold; she gently exhaled, turning her breath into white mist.

"No problem now, everything’s arranged on the ship, just sign here."

A middle-aged strong man came over, handing her a confirmation form.

Cheng Xin took the pen and asked, "Where will they be sent?"

The strong man sent by Star Group smiled and said, "These children will be sent to the company’s charity institutions. Basic education won’t be an issue, but how far they can go depends on themselves."

Cheng Xin nodded; this was already a very good result for those children.

"Did you see Ji Jingqiu in the west before?" The strong man suddenly asked gossipingly in a low voice, "How is he in person? Some say online that he’s quite humble, while others say that as a Martial Artist, he exudes such brilliance that it’s impossible to conceal; ordinary people find it hard even to meet his gaze in person!"

Cheng Xin signed her name and returned it to the strong man, looking up somewhat absent-mindedly.

Had it already been a week ago?

What happened after that, Cheng Xin didn’t know, only that this city, and this planet, seemed to have suddenly "calmed down."

A large number of people from the government and military flooded into this planet; some also came to her, asking if Ji Jingqiu had said anything to her...

"With the children’s issue resolved, where are you heading next? Continuing forward?" The strong man asked casually.

"Yeah." Cheng Xin smiled, "I’m planning to keep moving."

"Then be safe, don’t go to the areas marked in red on the map." The strong man advised seriously, "The Federation Government has officially announced to resolve the conflicts in the west, and certain places might be more chaotic than before. But as long as we get through this period, things will clear up."

Cheng Xin nodded, thanking him for his kindness.

The strong man suddenly sighed, "Even if I say this, you’re still going anyway, right?"

Cheng Xin pursed her lips, smiling without saying a word.

In fact, those who came to her also promised that if she needed anything, she could contact them, and officials would offer prioritized protection anytime.

Cheng Xin understood very well where the favors from Star Group and the officials came from.

The more chaotic a place is, the more it needs someone like her, right?

The night wind blowing in her face drifted toward the distance.

She glanced sideways, following the angle of the wind, her gaze becoming misty, as if in a trance.

As she walked each step up to now, she understood clearly how vast this world was, and how many people and things were beyond one’s control.

Just like how the wind blows in a certain direction, the grass bends that way; most people, including them, are like wild grass swaying under the gale without deciding their fate.

But Cheng Xin believed that there will always be some who are majestic mountains unmoved by any storm.

And with those majestic mountains at their backs, even if it’s a road at night, it can still be walked in peace.

...

...

A massive pressure rose from the horizon, sweeping like a storm, instantly covering most of the planet, constantly emitting an unfathomable oppressive force.

"Young Ji, are you here for Dao Asking, or to reason with our West Cliff Xiao Family?"

An awe-inspiring middle-aged figure stood in the Void, heavy clouds gathering at his feet, swirling like tides; amidst the turmoil, there appeared the faint Dharma Form of a Flood Dragon with wings on its back.

The Flood Dragon leapt, clouds converged, thunder roared, a streak of lightning tore through the clouds, as if to pave a path in the Void.

Confronting him was a vast and majestic presence, like the Descent of Heavenly Will, occupying the other half of the planet.

The collision of the two Heaven and Earth dojos shook the heavens and earth, in some places of the planet, people frantically looked up, only to see the overwhelming shadow cast by the Flood Dragon Dharma Form with wings on its back falling down.

The two Heaven and Earth dojos collided in an instant, tearing and shredding the calm Void.

"Truly... the younger generations are indeed formidable."

Xiao Tianhe of the Xiao Family sighed; he surprisingly couldn’t suppress Ji Jingqiu in the clash of dojos, which was simply beyond belief.
