216: Chapter 216 The Sky Is About to Collapse

Haicheng was once again thrown into a massive uproar that day.

First, an explosion occurred at the Research Base's helipad; although relatively remote, Haicheng is a major metropolis after all.

The commotion at the Research Base still caught the attention of many people nearby.

While people outside might only speculate about what happened behind the high walls without proof, the sight of Chu Xuan piloting a fighter jet to chase and bomb White Falcon was witnessed by many and would undoubtedly become an unforgettable, shocking scene.

Especially the scene where White Falcon turned into flames and was hit by two missiles, exploding in mid-air, along with several missiles being dodged in succession and leveling a few mountain ridges, was truly heart-shaking.

Some thought a war was starting, some said a monster had appeared, and others even said the apocalypse was coming.

Combined with the Night Watchers' major movements over the past few days and the sight of fully armed soldiers "patrolling" the streets, a tense atmosphere enveloped the city.

Many felt a vague sense of panic and crisis; some even directly bought the earliest international flights to hide abroad for a while.

From the perspective of ordinary people, the situation was already this bad.

Among the Night Watchers across the country, this serious incident—comparable to a scandal and a humiliation—was not hidden at all, and a pinned announcement was even posted on the forum.

This undoubtedly triggered another massive earthquake; almost every page of the official forum was discussing this matter.

[Xiao Ka La Mi: The Haicheng Night Watchers Captain was actually the Resurrection Society's Azure Dragon? This is too explosive! I've heard of his name long ago; that's a Rank 9 big shot. If even such a presence is an enemy mole, who else can be trusted?]

[Wudi Xiao Gang Pao: Too terrifying. What exactly is this Resurrection Society's background? Our city has captured nearly thirty Resurrection Society members in the last two days. Among them, eighteen actually have Transcendent Skills, five have already entered the God-Ascension Sequence and bound a System, and the rest have had their Physiques strengthened to varying degrees. This organization is extremely good at brainwashing, actually believing their actions are saving the world. Their members have infiltrated the masses; it's simply too scary!]

[I Want to Heal the World: Stay calm, don't panic! If the Resurrection Society were really that strong, they wouldn't just be hiding in the shadows. As official personnel, we have over a billion people standing behind us; we must have enough confidence and backbone!]

[Dali Goumeng: Exactly! No matter how deep they hide or how fierce they are, weren't they still dragged out and taken down? Speaking of which, have you noticed? The ones who took down Azure Dragon this time were actually two newcomers who just became Transcendents! I've asked around through friends; one just reached Rank 2, and the other just reached Rank 3. They're really fierce, even fiercer than me, taking down a Rank 9 big shot. It's simply like a young cow not giving birth—insanely badass!]

[Left and Right Brain Don't Like to Fight Each Other: No way, right? Just two newcomers could take down Azure Dragon? Upstairs, did your friend trick you and give you fake news?]

[Dali Goumeng: Absolutely no mistake! Although they are newcomers, one of them can burst out with super combat power in a short time, capable of going toe-to-toe with an A-Rank Specter. The other has a Talent similar to Revelation and directly identified Azure Dragon's identity, piloting a fighter jet to bomb Azure Dragon to death at the final moment. Also, according to rumors, Azure Dragon's Rank 9 strength was just hidden; his real Rank is 10!]

[Left and Right Brain Don't Like to Fight Each Other: Exaggerated, this is too exaggerated! Although it's likely true, if it's true, it feels a bit impossible.]

[Foundation Establishment Expert Zhang Wudi: Interesting. Only such a Prodigy is qualified to compete with me, Zhang, for the Great Dao...]

The official forum posts were constantly refreshing, and the names of Tang Zheng and Chu Xuan became a bit of a sensation in the national Transcendent circles, especially Chu Xuan, who piloted the fighter jet to bomb Azure Dragon.

However, while there was praise, there was no lack of sharp and malicious words.

As for these forum posts, Chu Xuan had no time to look at them at all.

Because at the same time the official forum's pinned announcement came out, Chu Xuan was leading a team with a large number of armed personnel to blockade the streets around Night Shadow Bar.

With Tang Zheng providing backup, he asked Zhang Qiang to use Smoke to suppress everyone in the bar and bring them all under control.

After two hours of screening, a total of twenty-four people were identified as members of the Resurrection Society.

Among these people, only five had been seen and killed in the dream.

Regarding this, Chu Xuan understood after a bit of thought. The spirit money of those people in the dream had all been fleeced; it was likely because most of them didn't have any spirit money or didn't have anything good to sell, so they didn't participate in this trade fair.

As for these five, they probably had decent family backgrounds.

Coincidentally, Xinyue Fox was among the crowd and was caught red-handed by Chu Xuan.

Originally, Xinyue Fox wanted to use invisibility to escape, but under the suppression of Zhang Qiang's Smoke, she was forced to reveal her true form, with nowhere to run.

"Thanks, Old Zhang," Chu Xuan nodded in gratitude.

"I should be the one thanking you." Zhang Qiang came to a secluded spot and nodded slightly to Chu Xuan.

"If it weren't for you, I probably wouldn't have imagined even in death that the Specter in Luo Xiaotian's body was man-made. Furthermore, you didn't expose Xiaotian's matter in public; I'll remember this favor."

"Don't mention it, we're just helping each other," Chu Xuan smiled slightly.

Then, they took these people back to the base overnight.

Meanwhile, the people from the Capital who came to Haicheng for an inspection had already arrived at the base and had been busy all day.

To them, this wasn't an inspection at all; they were practically here to clean up a mess.

Late at night, after Chu Xuan and the others returned from capturing Xinyue Fox and the other Resurrection Society members.

He Jun, the Rank 8 Transcendent leading the inspection team from the Capital Headquarters, finally finished a busy period.

"Next, I want to announce something regarding the candidate for the new Captain of Haicheng..."

Before he could finish, a thunderous roar suddenly sounded in his ears.

Everyone instinctively looked out the window, and their faces changed drastically.

The sky seemed to be collapsing!
