Heroes Return

"You can cry here all you want." Lin Jie suddenly walked towards Wuneng's meditation room. "I have something to discuss with Master Wuneng."

With that, Lin Jie abandoned the person in front of him and headed towards the monks' lodgings. Although the monks, Wu Neng and Wu Yu, were probably still in a state of grief, Lin Jie had to immediately talk to them about the danger at Guanggun Temple. After all, that boring master wouldn't have suddenly asked him for help for no reason.

Then Lin Jie entered Master Wuneng's room, but to his surprise, Masters Wuyu and Wuliang were also there. The three of them were happily drinking—yes, happily drinking.

"Hahaha!!! That boring bastard is finally dead! Hahaha!" Master Wuneng happily took a sip of wine and said to the two people beside him, "From now on, I, as the abbot, will finally have real say in things at Guanggun Temple. I'm no longer the abbot who's chosen to take the blame!! Cheers!"

"Cheers! Finally, we don't have to live under this boring and terrifying rule anymore!" Wuliang said happily, "I don't have to run errands for my boring senior brother anymore! Cheers!"

"That's right! I'll never have to worry about getting kicked for talking too much again! Hahahaha!!!" Master Wuyu excitedly added, "Speaking of which, shouldn't we discuss how to divide our senior brother's inheritance?"

“That’s right! It’s time to discuss my senior brother’s inheritance.” Master Wuneng said, “He has managed the Discipline Hall for so many years and has quite a few wealthy disciples, his inheritance must be very substantial! Let’s go and take stock of his estate now!”

As he spoke, Master Wuneng stood up, and as he turned around, he saw Lin Jie's contemptuous face.

But who is Wuneng? He's one of the top monks in the entire Guanggun Temple. The moment he saw Lin Jie, his face changed from a relaxed smile to a crying one.

"Junior brother, why did you die so young! Waaah!"

"Why don't you go into acting?" Lin Jie said, looking at Master Wuneng. "Speaking of which, why did I agree to help you guys in the first place, Master Wuliao?"

"Oh? I wonder what you promised Master Wulang about?" Master Wulang asked, looking at Lin Jie.

"Oh, actually yesterday, Master Bored told me that there seems to be a dangerous figure spying on the entire Bachelor Temple lately."

"What!" Upon hearing Lin Jie's words, the three monks present all showed serious expressions.

"Thank you for informing us." The unscrupulous master said to Lin Jie, "We will immediately notify all the disciples of the Bachelor Temple to search the entire J City. Let us know immediately if we find anything."

"That's right, let the disciples handle this! Things are much simpler now." Master Wuneng said, then ran out the door: "Hurry up and divide my junior brother's inheritance!!!"

As he spoke, Master Wu Neng disappeared from Lin Jie's sight, and Wu Liang and Wu Yu immediately chased after him.

"These guys should just be wiped out," Lin Jie said unhappily.

……

However, although the three of them, including Master Wuneng, did not pay much attention to this matter, they had to admit that the experts in J City were indeed very efficient.

After Lin Jie finished speaking with the people in the temple, eighteen muscular men covered in copper oil appeared at the temple gate that afternoon. Behind these eighteen bronze figures, a Western dragon that looked to be over five meters long was being dragged.

To be precise, it's the legendary dragon from Area O.

Seeing this scene, many tourists at the Bachelor Temple stared in astonishment. A large crowd immediately gathered to watch and take pictures.

"What happened?" Master Wuliang asked, appearing beside the Eighteen Bronze Men.

“Unscrupulous Master, we caught this by chance when we went out today. We’ll really get roasted and eaten tonight.” A bronze figure walked over and said to the Unscrupulous Master, “Moreover, we found a lot of eggs in the city’s sewers, many of which show signs of hatching.”

"What! How many are there?" Wuliang asked in surprise, looking at the dragon in front of him.

“Many,” the bronze figure said, “and it seems to be more than one place.”

"Damn! Something really serious has happened! That Wulang really died at the worst possible time!" Hearing the words of the bronze statue in front of him, Wuliang couldn't help but say, "Thank you all, fellow martial uncles!"

After speaking, the unscrupulous master vanished from the spot, and a few minutes later, a huge bell rang out from the Bachelor Temple. The sound could be heard throughout the entire city of J. This bell had only one meaning: to warn all ordinary citizens of J to take immediate evacuation.

Somewhere on the outskirts of J City, Stein was furiously roaring at the monitor: "What the hell is going on! Why are dragons hatching ahead of time! Damn it! Doesn't this negate the effect of a surprise attack?"

"We don't know the reason either!" the man and woman on the monitor exclaimed. "And they're organizing people to burn those eggs!"

"Damn it! There's still a day until the scheduled hatching time!" Stein said angrily. He figured that by the time the dragon eggs in the sewers were discovered, most of them would have been found! Even if some were still hidden and hatched, they probably wouldn't be enough to deal with the Lonely Temple. What Stein couldn't understand the most was why any dragon eggs would hatch early and run out to their doom.

“What do we do now? All the civilians have already fled to safety. And the Bachelor Temple is also organizing people to seal off the entire J City,” the man said to Stein.

"Damn it! We have no choice but to force a move!!! Give me a map of all the dragon egg locations!" Stein said to the screen, "Do you guys have any way to slow down the Guanggun Temple? I'll have the mech units with catalysts forcefully enter J City to catalyze those dragon eggs. Although it will shorten the dragons' lifespans, it's still better than them being destroyed immediately after being discovered!!!"

"Slow them down?" Just then, the man suddenly seemed to have thought of something and said, "I have a way to hold off the experts from the Bachelor Temple!"

"Really? Then it's up to you guys!!"

After hanging up the call, the beautiful woman looked at the man beside her: "Xing Si, do you really have a way to hold off Guanggun Temple for now?"

"Don't worry, Star Three," Star Four said to the beautiful woman, "Do you remember the courtyard we went to last night?"

"Hehe! That's a great suggestion! Then it's up to you! I finally sensed the location of the Golden Spirit Sword last night! Let's split up this time!"

……

At that moment, thousands of mechs simultaneously streaked across the sky and flew towards the city of J from the outskirts of J.

Below them, a traffic cop on a motorcycle angrily threw his helmet to the ground, revealing a bald head: "You guys think you can drive a Gundam over my head without crashing, huh?! Listen up, guys! Get him!"

……

On the outskirts of J City, a communication request caught Stein's eye.

“What happened?” Stein asked the person on the other end of the communication.

"Sir! We've encountered a terrifying attack! Requesting reinforcements!!!" a mech pilot said to Stein.

"Is he a master from the Bachelor Temple?"

"No! It's a group of traffic police from J City!!!"

"Are you kidding me? Those cops can't possibly beat Star Wars mechs!"

"Tear the mech apart with your bare hands!! Requesting reinforcements!" With that, the pilot switched the view from outside the mech. There, a group of people dressed as traffic police were fighting a mech hundreds of times their size with their bare hands. One of the bald traffic policemen actually grabbed a massive Star Wars mech and swung it around, tearing off its outer armor.

The next second, a terrifying scene of tearing apart the mecha began to unfold on the screen.

"..." Stein, witnessing this scene, almost knelt down before these traffic police officers.

Chapter Fourteen

The situation in J City is now completely out of control. Lin Jie and the others, standing in the Bachelor Temple, are all shocked as they watch the scene playing in the video, a scene that can only be described as horrifying.

Thousands of state-of-the-art mechs designed for space combat were utterly outmatched by the traffic police of J City. Suddenly, a large number of bald traffic cops appeared out of nowhere throughout J City.

These are not the key points. The key point is that each of them can fight with their own bodies and Federation mechs.

Lin Jie clearly saw one of the traffic police officers kick and break the fuel line of a mecha. Then, he pried open the cockpit door with his bare hands and dragged the pilot out.

"Oh no! My fuel line has been severed too!" a driver cried out in terror into the communicator to Stein. His communication was cut off the next second.

"Damn it! Looks like there's no way out." Seeing the scene before him, Stein knew that it was impossible to expect these mechs to use all the catalysts. Thinking of this, Stein took out a green syringe: "Although it's still in the experimental stage, theoretically there shouldn't be any problems!" Stein gritted his teeth and pressed the syringe against his neck.

"Holy crap! These guys seem to be launching something into the ground!!" Lin Jie exclaimed as he watched the video.

"Don't worry! This is the Bachelor's Temple!" Master Wuneng patted Lin Jie on the shoulder and said confidently, "Let me show you the fighting power of J City. No matter what comes, we're not afraid."

No sooner had the Incompetent Master finished speaking than a small hill suddenly rose up on the ground that had been bombarded by the mechs on the screen.

Immediately afterwards, a steady stream of dragons, each ten meters long, crawled out of the small hill. After shaking their wings, they took flight.

"Are you sure you can handle so many dragons?" Lin Jie turned around and asked Master Wuneng.

"I think... I should be able to..." Master Wu Neng couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his forehead.

"Something's wrong! Quick, get to that peach tree on the mountain!" Thirteen suddenly ran in and said.

At this moment, Xiao Zhan, perched atop a peach tree on the mountaintop, was utterly horrified by the terrifying sight before him. From here, the entire city of J was clearly visible, but what Xiao Zhan saw was one small mountain after another bulging up from the city. Then, countless dragons, legendary creatures from District O, began to fly out of these earthen mounds.

In just half an hour, several thousand more dragons appeared in the skies above J City.

"Holy crap! When did these dragons become so wasteful?!" Lin Jie exclaimed in surprise at the sight before him, having already reached the mountaintop.

The scene resembled the end of the world. Countless giant dragons began to fly wildly around J City, constantly spewing fire towards it.

"Looks like I'll have to go help them." Lin Jie said, taking out a spiked club.

"Don't worry, if it's just these winged lizards, we can handle it." Master Wuliang suddenly appeared beside Lin Jie and Xiao Zhan: "Since Senior Brother Wuliao asked you for help before he passed away, it can't be such a small problem."

Looking at the thousands of dragons flying around the city below, Lin Jie couldn't help but look at the unscrupulous master: "Are you sure this isn't a big problem?"

"You'll see when you see it," Wu Liang said to Lin Jie with a smile.

Although he didn't know what kind of mysterious confidence the unscrupulous master had, Lin Jie still chose to believe Lin Jie's words.

At this time, the remaining citizens of J City did indeed launch a counterattack.

Not only the traffic police in J City, but almost all the citizens who remained in J City began to enter a state of combat readiness.

At that moment, a man covered in scales and wearing glasses quietly appeared on the streets of J City. He was carrying a massive launcher. The man was Stain, but he no longer appeared human.

After determining the location on the map, Stein fired a shuttle missile at his feet.

"So those mechs took care of eighteen sites? Then there are still twenty-one that need catalysis!" Stein said, jumping towards the rooftop of a building. Just as he landed, a mound of earth began to rise where he had been standing. Dragons began to emerge from the mound, and before some of them could even take flight, they were blasted into obliterations, much to Stein's astonishment.

Although they had been catalyzed, these dragons still needed time to grow to their optimal state, so Stein was not surprised that someone could turn those dragons into plugs.

However, he was still shocked this time, because the weapons that pierced through the dragon's body were actually the legendary fried dough sticks.

Immediately after Stein's bewildered expression, an old man selling fried dough sticks suddenly appeared in front of the mound, and then he actually made his fried dough sticks look like flying swords.

With a gentle wave of his hand, the old man sent a large number of fried dough sticks flying back to his surroundings.

"Let me show you what my old man's flying fried dough sticks are all about!!!" the old man said, and once again shot out the fried dough sticks next to him.

At the same time, four flying dragons suddenly descended from the old man's head, opening their blood-red maws to bite him.

But the next second, the heads of those dragons separated from their bodies.

"Hmph! You really weren't careful behind you!" An old woman holding a pancake suddenly appeared beside the old man. Without a doubt, it was this old woman who had thrown the pancake that had just severed the dragon's neck.

"You're here too, Granny Bing!" the slick-haired old man said to Granny Bing, "Thank you so much!"

"What's there to say? We've known each other for so many years."

"By the way, I heard your wife passed away a few years ago?"

"Yes, he passed away."

"Grandma Pancake! Now that your husband has passed away, would you consider starting a new family with me?" the old man said somewhat embarrassedly. "We can sell pancakes from now on."

No sooner had the slick old man finished speaking than an angry voice rang out: "You're talking nonsense, you slick old man! If you're going to join me, join me in opening a noodle shop!!"

Immediately afterwards, an old man carrying a dough ball rushed over. He continuously swung the dough ball in his hand, and instantly the dough ball turned into a large amount of ramen that flew in the air. All the dragons that came into contact with the old man's ramen were cut into several pieces by the noodles.

"I never imagined there were such experts in J City!" Stein exclaimed in surprise as he watched the three old men arguing while slaying the dragon. But then he saw a large crowd gathering in that direction.

"Damn it! I have to catalyze all the dragons as soon as possible! Most of those mechs are already dead." With that, Stein rushed off in another direction.

Then, in Stein's next action, he was stunned by the city's terrifying fighting power.

He witnessed firsthand how people from all walks of life in the city, engaged in ordinary professions, were suddenly engaged in a terrifying battle.
