Why did you provoke me?

This sounds a bit selfish, but Liu Wei had no other choice.

This was a serious matter that he simply couldn't handle. He thought to himself, "If only Teacher Yu were here."

After all, everyone believes what the teacher says.

The first and fourth battlefields have both been sealed off. This has had a significant impact on the outside world.

The pharmaceutical companies were the first to be hit hardest.

The alien poses a significant threat to humanity; it can even turn a human body into its vessel. The moment its nutrients are depleted, the human will face death.

However, many drugs' main ingredients are also extracted from aliens. There is no other way.

Mr. Chen, the person in charge of Minghai Group, frowned as he looked at the report in his hand.

The gentleman said he was going to see an old friend, but it's been a month and there's still no news. He's used many connections, but still can't find his whereabouts. This is very unusual; even if the gentleman were in seclusion, he would give him advance notice, not just leave like this.

The situation on the alien battlefield is not optimistic. Given the current state of affairs, who knows what problems might arise?

The two battlefields he personally handed over are now under lockdown, which is no small matter. Although he doesn't know exactly who took over, he is clear about the forces currently managing the battlefields.

He was waiting for the long-haired man to give him an explanation. But a month passed, and the long-haired man still hadn't appeared.

Just as he was in a state of utter distress, unexpected events also occurred in the second and third alien battlefields.

Old Chen received the message via coded message. Holding the piece of paper, he asked Chen Ming, "What exactly happened?"

Chen Ming shook his head. "I don't know the specifics, but I heard that things have gotten out of control inside, and many parasitic aliens have escaped. They stormed the battlefield entrance, and everyone inside has been infected."

"Aren't there troops inside?" Old Chen asked.

Chen Ming shook his head. "I don't know. Anyway, somehow the aliens inside managed to break through the battlefield's exit and spread into the world of ordinary people."

The father and son sat facing each other, neither of them speaking. They both knew the situation was serious.

After a long silence, Chen Ming spoke again, "When the Fourth Battlefield was sealed off, I thought these people were really stupid, hiding like turtles at the slightest sign of trouble. Now it seems that I was shortsighted and ignorant."

Old Chen nodded. "This person has great wisdom. You know, the losses from closing it off for even a day are enormous. In this light, closing off the fourth battlefield was indeed the most correct decision. At least it didn't harm ordinary people."

……

Secondly, the complete loss of control over the second and third alien battlefields has drawn the attention of nations and all major and minor clans.

All available bone-drawing masters were deployed to the vicinity of the two battlefields, aiming to establish a defensive line there. Meanwhile, the nation and top aristocratic families were secretly searching for the person who originally constructed the formation.

Unfortunately, half a month has passed, and the person has not been found. Things have taken an uncontrollable turn.

Jing Ancheng returned to Kyoto and met Jia Chengping.

"What did you say? Teacher Yu and the others left? They didn't even say where they went." Jing Ancheng asked in surprise.

Jia Chengping nodded. "They left in a hurry."

After hesitating for a moment, he whispered, "It seems there's been a problem with the Alien Battlefield. Maybe they went back over there."

In the following days, news came that the fourth battlefield had been completely shut down.

Jing Ancheng went to the fourth battlefield, but did not enter. Mr. Feng arranged for a large number of people to guard the entrance and made it clear to him that there were no survivors on the battlefield.

Jing Ancheng didn't know where to find Teacher Yu. He was confused; how had Teacher Yu abandoned him again?

Mr. Feng, seeing his appearance, rolled his eyes and sent a message to Nangong Tianshou explaining the situation. He then kept the man behind, saying, "Um, you know Nangong Tianshou, right? He wants you to stay here and help out. Go over there once you have news about Teacher Yu."

What could Jing Ancheng say? He had no choice but to stay. Mr. Feng was very satisfied; he needed such capable manpower.

The commotion outside did not disturb the Cangshan lineage inside the first battlefield.

Yu Meng was quite relaxed on the first battlefield. She blocked the vortex with the lines of her spear. When the number of aliens on the battlefield decreased to a certain level, she would pull out the spear, and then the aliens would surge out in clumps as before. Yu Meng controlled it, keeping it at a level that was enough for everyone in the sect to absorb.

Meanwhile, Hua Shulang had already arrived here. He initially stayed by Jing San's side, but left after only a few days.

He found Jing Er and told her about his situation. Jing Er kept him there and patted him on the shoulder, saying, "The third brother's intentions are so obvious that none of us dare to go near him. It's really impressive that you're still unscathed."

Hua Shulang finally understood why he was always tricked by Jing San in the fourth battlefield.

……

After returning to the fourth battlefield and being sealed off, Hua Shulang led his men back to Jingchuan, following the information provided by Jing San.

Secretary Wu was very happy to see him and made proper arrangements for the people he brought. He then chatted with Hua Shulang about the situation of these people, "Xiao Wen and Yan Lei are working very hard at the bee farm. It's safe there and the income is stable. They haven't been back for a long time. But they've been sending a lot of stuff, truckload after truckload. You can come to my place to pick it up later. I've put your share there for you."

Hua Shulang naturally maintained contact with them, and echoed Secretary Wu's words, sharing some things he knew.

Finally, when Hua Shulang said he wanted to go see Qingyuan.

Secretary Wu looked at him with surprise. "Teacher Qing has been on the front lines the whole time and hasn't come back at all."

Hua Shulang was a little incredulous. "She's been on the front lines all this time? But Third Brother said Aunt Qing is at the Jingchuan Guild Hall."

"The first battlefield is Teacher Qing's precious experimental kindergarten. How could she possibly stay at the clubhouse all the time?"

Now that the alien riot has broken out in the first battlefield, even Liu Wei has gone there, and the sect's side is much emptied. Everyone's gone with that kid.

After saying all this, Secretary Wu sighed.

Hua Shulang couldn't sit still any longer. This Jing San had tricked him again. He had gone to the first battlefield. Who would he study with when he came back?

He suggested going to the front lines as well, but Secretary Wu hesitated. "Young man, it's not that I don't want you to go. Those people are from sects, and they all have protective lines around them. They can fight off the aliens; it would be very dangerous for you if you went."

Hua Shulang didn't waste any words and directly displayed his lines. "Uncle Wu, I am now also a member of the sect."

Secretary Wu was stunned. "When did you join the sect? How come I didn't know?"

Hua Shulang immediately recalled the teasing he had made when he joined the sect.

He smiled and told Secretary Wu about joining the sect. Then he urged Secretary Wu to write his name down on the sect's list.

Secretary Wu happily took care of it for him.

But when Hua Shulang once again proposed going to the front lines, Secretary Wu still hesitated.

"You don't belong to any group right now, are you sure you can handle going there?"

The implication is that you're going to the front lines alone, with no one to protect you. What if you get into danger?

Hua Shulang immediately understood Secretary Wu's concerns.

"Uncle Wu, it's alright. When I joined, Teacher Yu said that Third Brother would teach me. I'll go find Third Brother when I get there."

"Did Teacher Yu really say that?" Secretary Wu asked again to confirm. "This is a matter of life and death; you can't lie."

"Uncle Wu, do you think I'm the kind of person who doesn't value my own life? I'm very resilient."

And so, Secretary Wu sent Hua Shulang alone to the front lines, where he rejoined the main force.
