173: Zhang Jiujun Conference, Selling Out the Country for Personal Prosperity

In Great Xia, a piercing alarm suddenly blared in a room that was originally quiet and filled with various sophisticated screens.

Immediately after, dazzling red lights flashed continuously, seemingly indicating some hidden danger.

The moment the alarm sounded, a Middle-aged man appeared here with a solemn expression.

Looking at a spot on the screen flashing red light, a sharp glint flashed in his eyes, and he immediately ordered the guards at the door, "Convene an emergency meeting immediately!"

"Yes!"

A moment later, in a conference room, this man sat at the conference table, and beside the table were eight virtual projections.

They were male and female, and although they were just projections, they gave off a great sense of pressure, making people dare not underestimate them.

"Dragon boy hasn't returned from Outside the Territory yet?"

The Middle-aged man frowned, looking at the one empty seat, but after a moment, he sighed and stopped asking, immediately showing a look of solemnity.

"This emergency meeting is being held because Bangzi Country has activated the National Disaster Alert!"

The National Disaster Alert is present in all existing human countries and is only activated when the country is facing a life-or-death situation.

Once activated, all receiving countries must lend a helping hand; this was explicitly stipulated a hundred years ago.

"Bangzi Country?"

A burly figure was startled at first, then burst into laughter, "Hahahaha, I've long found those Bangzi people unpleasant. If it weren't for maintaining stability, I would have gone after them long ago."

The Middle-aged man's mouth twitched upon hearing this, and he looked at that person with a feeling of disappointment, "Can't you be a little more steady, you're still like this even though you're guarding a region."

"Hehehe, wasn't I just speaking from the heart?"

The burly figure chuckled, completely unconcerned by the Middle-aged man's words, appearing very carefree.

"Aren't they Great Eagle Country's lackeys? They have their own Martial Lord and a Magister sent by Great Eagle Country. How could they suddenly issue a National Disaster Alert?"

Magister is a classification of Magician cultivation levels in Great Eagle Country, comparable to the Martial Lord powerhouses of Great Xia.

Specifically, they are Magic Apprentice, Magic Warrior, Magician, Great Magician, Magic Master, Magister, and Legendary Magician.

Corresponding respectively to the Realms of Martial Artist, Martial Warrior, Martial Master, Martial General, Martial Grandmaster, Martial Lord, and Martial King.

Someone frowned, saying with some hesitation, "Great Eagle Country has always been at odds with us, constantly thinking of ways to weaken us. Could there be some conspiracy?"

The Middle-aged man sighed upon hearing this, "Although that's true, Bangzi Country is not too far from our Great Xia, so we have to go."

Everyone fell silent upon hearing this, clearly knowing the reason.

According to the agreement among the countries at that time, they must go if the National Disaster Alert sounds.

Secondly, as the Middle-aged man said, Bangzi Country is not far from their Great Xia. If there is some unknown danger that could destroy Bangzi Country.

That would also be a disaster for their Great Xia. Although they are confident in dealing with it, casualties are inevitable.

Therefore, even if it's a conspiracy by Great Eagle Country, they must go, not for Bangzi Country, but for themselves.

"So you want us to go?"

Someone asked in a deep voice, "If so, then I am willing to volunteer..."

"No, you must guard the eight regions. Dragon boy hasn't returned yet, you absolutely cannot move."

Without waiting for that person to finish speaking, the Middle-aged man directly interrupted him, "There are still people from various countries watching you. I called you here to have each of you select a Martial Lord to go together."

"Bang bang!"

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, "Chief, there is the latest intelligence from Great Eagle Country, regarding Bangzi Country."

"Come in!"

The Middle-aged man's expression changed, and the other eight people also looked towards the door in unison.

As the door opened, a man in military uniform walked in and respectfully saluted.

"Chief, the latest intelligence."

"Just speak directly!"

"Yes!"

That person opened the document in his hand and began to report, "According to the intelligence sent back from Great Eagle Country, Great Eagle Country has gone mad and started a frenzied slaughter.

Almost all criminals within their country were executed within a month, and even more so, they suddenly summoned the President of Bangzi Country and all high-ranking officials to Great Eagle Country some time ago.

Since then, these people have not been seen again. Furthermore, half a month ago, a Magister from Great Eagle Country's Military Department, Lexington Borg, led ten thousand troops to Bangzi Country.

The current situation in Bangzi Country is unknown. Please give instructions, Chief!"

As the words fell, the scene fell into dead silence, and everyone's brows were tightly furrowed.

"What exactly is Great Eagle Country doing?"

The previously mentioned burly man suddenly spoke, "Those Bangzi people are really despicable. Isn't this selling out their country for glory?!"

"So, the situation within Bangzi Country is something Great Eagle Country created themselves?"

Someone's brows relaxed a bit, "Then are we still going?"

"Hmph, I think instead of going to Bangzi Country, it's better to send someone to Great Eagle Country to take a look. There must be something strange when things are abnormal. They definitely want to pull some trick again."

Someone else lightly snorted, no longer taking the matter of Bangzi Country as seriously as before.

The Middle-aged man sighed upon hearing this, "Lan Cang, Bangzi Country is closest to your Northern Desert Region. Have someone from your side go and take a look."

Hearing the report from the young man in military uniform, the Middle-aged man also relaxed a bit about the matter of Bangzi Country.

Lan Cang was the Blade Lord at Yumen Pass back then. After hearing the Middle-aged man's words, he nodded slightly, "Don't worry, I will definitely find out what's happening in Bangzi Country."

"Old Dao, I heard that Li Mingxuan from that Netherworld Team is with you now?"

Suddenly, a somewhat flippant voice sounded. Everyone first glanced at that person and then looked at Lan Cang.

"That champion team from this year's National College Competition?"

Someone echoed, "I heard that little guy's physical cultivation talent is quite high. How is he doing now?"

Now they also understood the matter of Bangzi Country, and the previously tense and heavy atmosphere had eased considerably.

Now that they had a rare opportunity to gather, they naturally wanted to chat.

And besides their respective cultivations, there were only a few things they could pay attention to together, and the champion of the National College Competition happened to be one of them.

Lan Cang listened to these people's words and thought of that young man with eyes full of determination. A hint of an almost imperceptible smile also appeared on his originally expressionless face.

"He's a good young man. Although he has reached the Breakthrough to the Martial General Realm, it's a pity he's too young and his temperament still needs to be tempered. He should be able to be entrusted with important tasks in a few years."

These words immediately surprised everyone. They knew how much affirmation it represented for these words to come from Lan Cang's mouth.

"It seems that little guy is indeed not simple. Old Dao, you better hurry up, otherwise, if I bring him over one day, maybe he'll become my disciple."

The one who said this was the burly figure, "After all, my Physical Body can firmly suppress demon beasts of the same level."

A man with a tall and straight posture and sharp eyes beside him smiled slightly, and his eyes were also full of interest.

"I heard that kid's Spear Style has reached the great success Realm at such a young age. Don't you think he's more suited for my Spear Dao?"

Lan Cang looked at the few people before him, shook his head, and then his projection flickered and disappeared before everyone.

"He's anxious, he's anxious!"

"Hahahaha..."
