The Professional Rankings, in twelve volumes, each bearing the name of my lord.

Miss Butterfly's words puzzled Du Minghui.

He looked out the porthole and saw Zhang Erhe, his face covered in burns.

The special plane hovered at low altitude, the cabin door opened, and Zhang Erhe transformed into a figure standing at the door.

Du Minghui inquired.

"What exactly happened?"

"District Chief Du, don't listen to the nonsense from those heavenly beings!"

They are taking advantage of our Abyss invasion, betraying the war treaty, and launching a blatant invasion to attack the surface!

Luckily, I discovered it in time!

"One of us is defending against the abyss invasion, while the other is fighting them with all its might. We've achieved great results so far. If we continue fighting, we'll definitely be able to bring Zhou Lisha and her entire armed force to justice on the spot!"

Du Minghui nodded, just about to say something.

On the ground, a man dressed as a bandit was shouting through a megaphone.

"Hey Du! Don't listen to Zhang Erhe's nonsense! He arrived a long time ago, but he didn't bother to defend against the Abyss invasion at all! Otherwise, we wouldn't have fallen so quickly! He was busy killing Yue Sheng!"

The one shouting from below is Song Gua's clone.

Although there was a battle going on in the sky and the noise was deafening, the sound from a small loudspeaker was insignificant.

But the people sitting in the special convoy in mid-air are not ordinary people either.

The hatch was still open, and Du Minghui clearly heard his clone Song Gua's shout.

He looked down through the porthole.

"Are they bandits?"

He transformed into Zhang Erhe and pretended to leave.

"District Chief Du, wait a moment, I'm going to arrest this criminal bandit!"

Du Minghui called out to him.

"Wait, Commander Zhang, what do you mean by the bandits saying you killed Yue Sheng? Is he dead?"

How did the bandits become criminals?

I heard they participated in the defense of the main city and made great contributions in the first wave. When the mirror image betrayed them, they were the ones who figured out how to identify it. How did they become criminals?

Who is Zhang Erhe?

Clergy!

At his level of strength, the concept of rank doesn't really exist in officialdom; everyone simply performs their duties.

Now that his lie had been exposed, he didn't bother to make any more excuses and spoke frankly.

"That's right, I killed Yue Sheng."

Cao Xuan and Du Minghui's secretary looked surprised.

Although Yue Sheng's official rank was not high, he was quite well-known as the captain of the district law enforcement department.

Zhang Erhe just killed him without warning?

Du Minghui inquired.

Why?

"He's an informant for the Celestials! Who do you think this large contingent of Celestials' armed forces is here to rescue?"

Originally, I had already killed him!

But a troublesome fellow emerged from among the bandits and brought him back to life!

Although I had a backup plan, having my avatar conceal its form to track the bandits and strike again, the people in the sky arrived in time.

What followed was the scene you see now.

As for the bandits, they dismantled the city's defensive barrier at Guard City No. 3 and killed members of the garrison within, causing even greater losses than the abyssal creatures! Their crimes are unforgivable!

Du Minghui's expression shifted between light and dark, but eventually settled into calm.

"Do you really have to execute Yue Sheng at this time? Besides, you should have taken him to a military court instead of doing it yourself."

"District Chief Du, in this era, laws and regulations are sometimes not applicable."

Look at the bandits. Their actions should have been eradicated by the Federation long ago, but the Federation has been constrained by so-called regulations, public opinion, and popular sentiment, and has continued to indulge them.

I have my reasons for eliminating Yue Sheng at this time and place, and I hope you can understand.

Zhang Erhe's attitude seemed very resolute.

As he said this, his gaze remained fixed on the clone on the ground, as if he still wanted to arrest the bandit.

Du Minghui shook his head slightly.

"We'll discuss Yue Sheng and the bandits later. I want you to go and support Wan Jianyi immediately. He's facing a world-ending crisis there, far more urgent than anything here!"

Not only Zhang Erhe in disguise, but also the real Zhang Erhe who was tearing apart the warship, showed a look of astonishment.

"World-destroying level?"

It is evident that Zhang Erhe's original body and his avatar share at least the ability to hear.

"That's right, his location is in Xichuan City..."

Du Minghui hadn't finished speaking.

High in the sky, a sudden burst of lightning appeared.

Everyone looked up and saw a huge cloud of black mist that was constantly twisting and turning as it appeared.

The black mist drifted away with the wind, revealing a huge spatial vortex hundreds of meters wide.

Within this vortex, there are five enormous pillars that resemble fingers, clenched into a claw shape.

If your eyesight is good enough, look closely and you'll see a group of strange people dressed in suits with mahjong tile-shaped faces jumping up and down on these five pillars, exploding one after another.

At the very top of the vortex was Luo Tong, whose lower body had merged with the vortex.

The Dark Compass rotates at the very bottom of the vortex.

Miss Butterfly, the Celestial Legion, Zhang Erhe, professional reinforcements from various regions, Du Minghui, Cao Xuan, Song Gua...

At this moment, when everyone saw this abstract thing suddenly appear in mid-air, the same sentence popped into their minds.

"What is this thing?"

Song Gua saw the dark compass and Luo Tong.

So his first thought was to ask the Dark Pocket Watch, maybe it knew.

However, there's no need to ask anymore.

Wan Jianyi also came over. He flew on his sword towards Du Minghui, shouting loudly.

"This is a spatial passage leading to the Dark Star! These five fingers are the Dark Emperor's fingers! The Dao of Sitting in Oblivion is self-destructing! The more they self-destruct, the smaller this passage becomes, and the Dark Emperor will be unable to pass through!"

For the people at the scene who had no idea what was happening ahead...

What Wan Jianyi said was even more abstract than this abstract concept.

At first glance, I was a little confused.

Wan Jianyi was also a little confused.

He saw high-tech fighter jets with a strong sense of science fiction, massive warships that could hover in the air, and humanoid mechs.

He knew this was the technological power of the celestial beings.

Why are celestial beings here?

How did they break through the sky?

All three parties were completely baffled.

Only the Daoists who practiced the "Sitting in Oblivion" path were overjoyed.

"What a sight! What a sight! Celestials! Earthlings! Dark Star people! You've all gathered here again! Wait, why did I say 'again'?"

On the ground, Song Gua's clone was in charge of monitoring the scene.

The Song hexagram synchronizes with the memories of this clone, allowing it to grasp every move on the scene.

"Where's the photographer? Come on, let me switch places with you and we'll document this! I have a feeling this will be another historic moment! We're witnessing history again!"

Soon, the photographer arrived at the scene, squatted down, and took photos from various angles.

The mecha of the Celestial Being, the special plane of the district chief of Huaxia, the Daoist meditation in self-destruction, the Dark Compass host going mad, and Zhang Erhe wreaking havoc in Miss Butterfly's army.

"Wow! This photo deserves a Pritzker Prize!"

Now, the people jumping around in the melon field have become bandits.

The Daoist of Sitting in Oblivion became a character in the play.

"A fierce three-way battle rages on Glory City, while our side is reduced to melon patch victims!"

"What a beautiful poem! What a beautiful poem!"

"Hey old bastard, stop watching! We're so bored in Glory City! Take us away and go grind reputation in other cities!"

"Our people need us!"

The clones kept making a fuss, so Song Gua had to take some time to go to Glory City, collect them all, and send them to other cities to farm the abyssal creatures that were being released there.
