3: Emperor Wu Xu Yi shocked everyone!

Xu Yi, with his explosive strength, moved through the sky at an incredible speed!

In less than an hour, he crossed countless mountains and rivers from the depths of the eastern Mobei Province battlefield, arriving outside the Central Defense Line!

Along the way, all the fierce beasts that tried to stop him were struck down by sudden bolts of lightning from the sky, turning them to ashes, venting the raging anger in his heart!

"Finally here..."

Xu Yi looked at the outline of the Central Defense Line in the distance, his gaze icy.

Meanwhile, within the sturdy human Central Defense Line base, the intelligence department's various instruments and equipment were busy operating, constantly observing the movements of fierce beasts outside the territory.

Just then, the alarm of the artificial intelligence Ling Meng suddenly blared.

The sharp, urgent alarm instantly shattered the tranquility within the base!

"Warning! A powerful energy is approaching!"

"Specific information level is being detected..."

The entire base was instantly bathed in red light, and the alarm echoed through every corner!

Many Martial Artists in the intelligence department, responsible for this work, were startled by the sudden alarm, stopping their work with expressions of surprise and doubt.

"Quick, check what's going on!" a military officer reacted swiftly, his face serious as he spoke to the surrounding Martial Artists.

A sense of tension involuntarily welled up in his heart.

Just as the Martial Artists' expressions grew solemn, thinking that a high-level fierce beast was about to launch a surprise attack on the defense line, Ling Meng's voice came again.

"Information successfully scanned and acquired. The owner of the massive energy is General Xu, an adult, with a specific level of Martial Emperor Early Stage. Crisis averted."

As Ling Meng's words fell, the alarm within the base instantly ceased.

Everyone looked at each other, their faces filled with shock and disbelief!

"Wh-what, it's General Xu?!"

"How is this possible? Wasn't General Xu unfortunately killed five days ago? How could he suddenly appear outside our defense line?!"

"That's not right, wasn't General Xu at the Martial Saint Early Stage? Why did Ling Meng just say Martial Emperor Early Stage?"

"Could it be that Ling Meng is malfunctioning?"

"..."

The Martial Artists of the intelligence department began to discuss, their voices full of shock and confusion.

At the same time, they quickly checked whether Ling Meng had malfunctioned and manually verified the situation of the sudden massive energy fluctuation outside the defense line!

Seconds later, they received confirmation.

Ling Meng was functioning normally!

The person who arrived was indeed General Xu, who had been declared deceased days ago, and his level was indeed Martial Emperor Early Stage!

"Quickly report the news to General Yang Xiong, an adult!" The military officer in the department reacted quickly, but then thought that this news was simply too unbelievable.

With that, he personally went to report the news to General Yang Xiong within the defense line base...

General Yang Xiong, who was cultivating in the training room, had his door suddenly knocked, and the excited voice of the military officer came through, quickly reporting the intelligence to General Yang Xiong inside.

"What?!" General Yang Xiong abruptly opened his eyes and ended his cultivation, a hint of disbelief flashing in his gaze after hearing the report.

"You mean Xu Yi not only came back to life but also broke through to the Martial Emperor realm, and he's outside the defense line right now?!" General Yang Xiong lost his composure, understanding perfectly what this news implied.

His subordinate would absolutely confirm it multiple times before reporting to him; the probability of error was almost non-existent!

"Yes, adult, the news is absolutely accurate!" Outside the training room, the intelligence department officer who came to report the news looked certain, his eyes gleaming with excitement, not noticing the strangeness in General Yang Xiong's words.

"We've repeatedly confirmed it; it is indeed General Xu, and his aura... is even stronger than before, definitely reaching Martial Emperor Early Stage, no mistake."

General Yang Xiong's body trembled slightly upon hearing this, a complex expression flashing in his eyes, immediately replaced by deep shock.

"How is this possible... That fellow Xu Yi, he... he not only didn't die but also broke through to Martial Emperor?!" He muttered to himself, as if he had heard the most absurd joke in the world.

When the news of Xu Yi being ambushed by fierce beasts spread, he took it upon himself to go and provide support.

On the surface, he led troops to support, but in reality, he only led his confidants to put on a show, and after confirming that Xu Yi was in a life-and-death situation, he simply wandered around the territorial battlefield and returned.

Then he spread rumors that Xu Yi's reckless actions led to the annihilation of his entire army, and that he himself unfortunately perished, not holding out until his support arrived.

Thinking of this, a chill involuntarily surged in General Yang Xiong's heart!

"What on earth happened?! How could he survive in such a desperate situation and directly break through a major realm?!" General Yang Xiong's face was pale as he roared inwardly.

Xu Yi was besieged by three Beast Saints and countless beast tides.

In such a situation, even he, with his Martial Saint Mid Stage cultivation, had an extremely slim chance of survival!

Let alone Xu Yi, who had no support whatsoever and whose cultivation was only at the Martial Saint Early Stage!

It was a certain death situation, yet a miracle happened to Xu Yi...

Although he didn't know what exactly happened, Xu Yi suddenly appearing outside the defense line at this moment made General Yang Xiong realize that Xu Yi had a high probability of already knowing about his secret collusion with the fierce beasts to put him to death!

Otherwise, such a major event as escaping from the tiger's den and breaking through to the Martial Emperor realm wouldn't have suddenly appeared outside the defense line he was guarding without any news spreading.

"Damn it... How could he break through to Martial Emperor! Those three Beast Saints are truly useless!" General Yang Xiong's heart instantly sank to rock bottom.

He had never expected things to develop to such a point.

Even if Xu Yi's current strength was considered the weakest among Martial Emperors, he was absolutely no match for him!

"No... I must find a way quickly!" General Yang Xiong still wanted to struggle, forcing himself to calm down.

He quickly stood up and pushed open the training room door, speaking coldly to the military officer outside.

"No, that's not General Xu! It's an extremely cunning fierce beast, skilled in disguise, that impersonated the deceased General Xu to deceive Ling Meng, intending to seize the opportunity to attack our defense line!"

"Transmit my order: immediately activate the attack system, set the energy output to maximum, and eliminate this cunning fierce beast at all costs!"

The military officer who came to report the news felt his heart tighten.

If things were truly as General Yang Xiong said, then their current situation was extremely dangerous!

To be able to deceive the Great Xia Country's top artificial intelligence, Ling Meng's reconnaissance, this fierce beast's level must be at least Beast Saint Peak Stage!

"Yes, adult, I will go and convey your order immediately!" The military officer dared not delay in the slightest, responding hastily.

Then he quickly burst out with his fastest speed and turned to leave.

General Yang Xiong, seeing this, breathed a slight sigh of relief, but the unease in his heart did not diminish in the slightest; instead, it grew even stronger!
