Chapter 121 The Grandmaster's Morning Grumpiness, the Villain's Fatal Misjudgment

"By order of the Grand Elder of the Senate, arrest the traitor Jiang Chen!"

"The target is suspected of colluding with the Sea Race, intending to subvert the Federation! Everyone, obey orders: arrest him on the spot!"

"Anyone who resists shall be killed without mercy!"

The deafening mechanical amplification echoed over the First Military Port of the Imperial Capital.

The midnight cold wind cut like a knife.

On the wide tarmac, thousands of fully armed Federal Guards stood in dense formation.

A full ten thousand!

Heavy armored vehicles were lined up, their dark muzzles flashing with cold spiritual energy.

Snipers on high ground had long locked onto the military plane that had just landed.

With this formation, not even a fly could fly out.

"Click."

The plane's hatch slowly opened, and the boarding stairs lowered.

The ten thousand guards pulled their gun bolts in unison, their True Qi shields fully activated.

The murderous aura caused the temperature of the military port to drop to freezing point.

The result.

Walking out of the hatch was not some terrifying traitor with three heads and six arms.

It was a young man wearing spongebob silk pajamas.

Jiang Chen stepped on a pair of plastic slippers.

He was clutching a star dream emperor pillow that radiated a purple-gold luster.

His hair was as messy as a bird's nest, and his eyes were half-closed.

He swayed, as if he might fall down the stairs at any moment.

"This is the Jiang Chen who crushed the Demon Lord?"

The commander of the Imperial Guards stood on an armored vehicle, looking at Jiang Chen's state, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes.

He was a genuine Grandmaster Realm Tier 3 powerhouse.

In his view, the battle reports from the Northern Territory were absolutely exaggerated.

A freshman, even if he started to Cultivate in the womb, how strong could he be?

Moreover, Jiang Chen looked extremely weak right now, struggling even to walk.

"Jiang Chen!"

The commander drew his command saber and pointed it from afar at the young man on the boarding stairs.

"You have been stripped of all military ranks!"

"Drop your weapon immediately, put your hands on your head, kneel, and submit to arrest!"

"Otherwise, this time next year will be your death anniversary!"

Jiang Chen stopped.

He stood in the middle of the boarding stairs, facing the blinding searchlights, frowning deeply.

"Weapon?"

Jiang Chen looked down at the star dream emperor pillow in his arms, feeling speechless.

This was a newly upgraded Low Grade Saint-tier Magic Treasure; it was true that it could be used as a weapon to smash people.

But its main function was clearly for sleeping.

Right now, Jiang Chen was truly sleepy.

After devouring the Sea God phantom in the Endless Sea and locking eyes with the Abyssal Lord's remnant will, although his Mental Energy had broken through to the Great Grandmaster Realm, the high-intensity tug-of-war of Divine Souls made his brain feel as heavy as if it were filled with lead.

He only wanted to find a mattress now and sleep comfortably for three days and three nights.

"Hey you..."

Jiang Chen raised his head, his pitch-black eyes devoid of any fear.

There was only thick exhaustion and the impatience of being disturbed.

"Do the people in your Senate all have some serious illness?"

Jiang Chen's voice was very soft, yet it carried an eerie penetrative power.

"Not sleeping in the middle of the night, coming to the airport to play formation games?"

"Playing formation games is one thing, but turning on such bright lights and shouting with a big loudspeaker."

Jiang Chen tucked the pillow under his arm and reached out with his pinky to pick his ear.

"Shh."

He made a silencing gesture toward the ten thousand murderous soldiers below.

"Military port restricted area, no loud noises allowed."

"Understand?"

The commander was stunned for a moment, then flew into a rage.

Dying and still acting arrogant?

"Take him down! Dead or alive!" the commander roared.

"Boom!"

Ten thousand guards exploded with True Qi at the same time, rushing toward the boarding stairs like a breached flood.

The nearest heavy armored vehicle stepped on the gas, roaring as it crashed toward the stairs.

Facing this charge of thousands of troops, Jiang Chen did not draw his sword, nor did he set up any defensive stance.

He just sighed softly.

"Since you don't want to sleep, then I will help you."

The moment his voice fell, Jiang Chen's half-closed eyes suddenly erupted with a brilliant purple-gold light!

Great Grandmaster Realm Tier 1 Mental Energy!

Without reservation, like a nuclear explosion, it spread out with Jiang Chen as the center!

This was not the kind of physical destructive power that tears flesh and destroys buildings.

This was a highly dimensional, conceptual-level crushing that acted directly on the depths of the Soul!

【Nightmare Domain · Absolute Sleep Wave!】

Hum—!

A transparent ripple, invisible to the naked eye, instantly swept across the entire tarmac.

The hundreds of guards rushing at the very front—their sturdy True Qi shields didn't even last half a second.

They shattered silently like soap bubbles.

"This... what is this..."

A soldier holding a battle saber suddenly felt his eyelids heavy as a thousand pounds.

His saber fell to the ground with a "clatter."

He didn't even have time to cry out before his legs went soft, and he collapsed to the ground in the middle of his charge.

"Hoo... snore..."

Just one second.

Thunderous snoring came from his nasal cavity.

This was like pushing the first domino.

"Thump! Thump! Thump!"

Like dumplings being dropped, rows upon rows of guards fell down.

Some didn't even have time to fall.

They stood there with their eyes closed, still holding their guns, while their bodies swayed back and forth with the snoring.

"Demonic Technique! This is a Demonic Technique!"

The commander standing on top of the armored vehicle was terrified.

He desperately circulated the Grandmaster Tier 3 True Qi in his body, trying to resist this pervasive sleepiness.

Who knew that the Mental Energy was too vast.

It was like the vast ocean, instantly drowning his pathetic resistance.

Even more absurd was the heavy armored vehicle that was speeding.

The driver was hit by the Sleep Wave, instantly closed his eyes, and fell asleep directly on the steering wheel.

"Boom!"

The out-of-control armored vehicle crashed into the nearby breakwater.

The front of the car caved in, and the huge impact caused the airbags in the car to pop out instantly.

The commander had been struggling to support himself, and this impact caused him to fall into the driver's cab.

He only felt his vision go black.

He was stuck tightly by the popped-out airbag.

Not only did he not wake up, but under the squeezing of the airbag, he completely gave up resistance.

"Hoo... phew... hoo... phew..."

The commander and the driver were squeezed into the white airbag, and with the contraction of the airbag, they actually produced a rhythmic, extremely loud double snore!

In less than ten seconds, the originally murderous military port had turned into a huge open-air dormitory.

Ten thousand people! The entire army was wiped out!

No blood was shed, and there was no room for any resistance.

They were all forcibly shut down and entered a state of deep sleep.

Jiang Chen stepped over the soldiers sprawled on the ground, walking slowly like an old man inspecting his territory.

"Tsk, the sleeping postures are really ugly."

Jiang Chen passed a soldier drooling while hugging his comrade's thigh, and shook his head in disgust.

He stretched out his foot and kicked a big man gnashing his teeth nearby.

"Mind your manners, don't gnash your teeth while sleeping, it's annoying to others."

【Ding! Detected that the host has completed the "Ten Thousand People Asleep" feat.】

【Congratulations to the host for achieving the epic achievement: "Super Sleeping Pill"!】

【System evaluation: Not only can you sleep yourself, but you can also make others sleep. You are undoubtedly the number one in sleep diplomacy.】

【Issuing achievement reward: Absolute Soundproof Earplugs (Permanent Cultivation Item, wear them, and you won't even hear an atomic bomb explode).】

Jiang Chen looked at the System pop-up and satisfiedly stuffed the earplugs into his pocket.

These were good things; he would never be afraid of Lei Heng's loud voice again.

...

At this moment, at the top of a signal tower less than two kilometers from the military port, a figure covered in a black robe was staring intently at the scene on the tarmac with high-power military binoculars.

He was the number one secret agent planted in the military by Wei Wuji, codenamed "Shadow Crow."

Shadow Crow's hands holding the binoculars were shaking.

"This... how is this possible?!"

He swallowed a mouthful of saliva, feeling his blood freezing.

Instantly hypnotizing ten thousand elite guards? Even the Grandmaster Tier 3 commander was snoring in an airbag?!

This was absolutely not something a human could do!

Shadow Crow's brain worked rapidly, trying to explain this unbelievable scene with his limited cognition.

"I know!"

A flash of self-righteous cleverness crossed Shadow Crow's eyes.

"This kid killed people from the Sea God Temple in the Endless Sea before, he must have been seriously injured!"

"Look at his pale face, he's dragging his feet while walking, even his slippers are about to fall off!"

"Just now, he must have used some kind of Soul-burning, mutually destructive Divine Soul secret treasure! To intimidate us!"

The more Shadow Crow thought about it, the more it made sense.

In his logic, only this could explain Jiang Chen's Heaven-Defying battle record.

He excitedly took out an encrypted communicator, his tone extremely certain.

"Grand Elder! I saw it with my own eyes! The target has arrived at the military port!"

"Just as you expected, he used his trump card and instantly knocked down ten thousand people. But he is definitely at the end of his rope now!"

"He can barely walk straight! I dare to bet my head that his combat power right now is not even as good as an ordinary Martial Artist!"

On the other end of the communicator came Wei Wuji's cold, hoarse laughter.

"Very good. A tiger that has had its teeth pulled out dares to return to the Imperial Capital and act arrogant?"

"Pass on my order! Take advantage of his sleep backlash, and immediately close the net!"

Shadow Crow gave a grim smile, his eyes full of cruelty.

"Don't worry, Grand Elder! We are going to seize his women and family assets now!"

"Even if this kid finds out, he can only lie in bed and rage helplessly! He won't be able to make any waves!"

...

Inside the high-spec lounge of the military port, Jiang Chen had long found a luxurious velvet bed and placed the star dream emperor pillow under his head.

He sighed comfortably.

"Finally can lie flat..."

He turned over and fell asleep in seconds.

Under the blessing of the Saint-tier pillow, his consciousness sank instantly and entered that familiar dreamland.

This was a fairyland filled with red spider lilies.

In the white jade pavilion, a gentle breeze blew.

Empress Ye Liuli was rarely without her usual aloofness, that coldness that kept people at a distance.

She flicked her eyes, carrying a laziness that made all living beings fall for her.

"Little Blackie, you're quite obedient today."

The Empress's voice was soft and bone-melting; she slowly stood up and walked to Jiang Chen.

In those purple eyes, a touch of tenderness rarely seen appeared.

Amidst the sound of Jiang Chen's wildly beating heart.

The Empress actually gently took off the purple-gold outer robe draped over her shoulders, revealing her snow-white, perfect shoulders.

She leaned down slightly, and a very pleasant cold fragrance rushed to his nose.

Those slender, white fingers, with a hint of deadly temptation, slowly reached toward Jiang Chen's face.

It was only 0.01 centimeters away from his cheek.

Jiang Chen was so excited that his breathing almost stopped.

This was actually the Empress proactively getting close!

Who could withstand this?!

He closed his eyes, pursed his lips, and joyfully prepared to welcome this historic moment.

The result.

"Bang—!!!"

The anti-theft door of the lounge, which cost millions, was violently kicked to pieces by someone.

The huge noise exploded in Jiang Chen's ears like thunder.

The dream world was instantly covered in cracks.

The Empress's beautiful face, those white fingers that were so close, shattered in this ear-piercing noise, turning into countless light fragments and dissipating!

"No!!!"

Jiang Chen let out a mournful cry in his heart.

It was just a little bit! Just 0.01 centimeters away!

"Brother Chen! Stop sleeping! Something big happened!"

Little Fatty Chen rolled in like a meatball.

He was sweating profusely, holding a tactical tablet playing the news, his voice changing tone due to extreme panic.

"Brother Chen! The Imperial Capital has changed! Look at the news! They took advantage of your sleep to raid our home!"

"The Su Family and Teacher Mu... something happened to all of them!"

On the big bed, Jiang Chen slowly, stiffly sat up.

He didn't look at the tablet in Little Fatty Chen's hand.

Under his messy hair, his eyes slowly opened.

There was no confusion from just waking up, nor was there any panic about hearing his home had been raided.

There was only a pure, suffocating, pitch-black, violent Killing Intent.

Raiding the home?

This was indeed very annoying.

But, they actually interrupted the Empress's benefits, that top-tier dream that was about to be completed?!

This was the unpardonable capital crime!
