Light Fortress-Chapter 1398 - 176: The Smuggling Plan

"Red Dragon... what did Suzaku say to you?"

East Cave, above the forest, two figures floated.

Cloud Domain.

A Cloud Tiger in white robes fluttering in the breeze, paralleled with the Floating Boat from Southern Continent; earlier, he was in heart-to-heart contact with the Archbishop sent by Holy City, discussing the specific matters of hunting the Beast Tide.

Now, the trivial matters were finished.

He turned his head towards Red Dragon; Suzaku had left the grand hunt alone to go to the outer ring to resolve the issue of the "God’s Favored Son" going missing, and there’s still no news.

Although Cloud Tiger and Suzaku were rivals.

But, after all, they both originated from the Source Tower and once climbed from the bottom together.

The path to becoming a Divine Envoy has untold sorrows, unshareable with outsiders.

Among these experiences, only the other understands.

"Nothing much." Red Dragon said indifferently: "Suzaku went to the West Cave to burn the city and was captured by Jia Wei."

"This idiot."

Cloud Tiger sneered and said, "So he is coming for rescue?"

Among the four Divine Envoys, Suzaku would reach out to anyone but himself for help!

And Xuan Turtle is responsible for guarding the main city and won’t go out.

Therefore, Suzaku’s only rescue choice is Red Dragon... Red Dragon is strong and sufficiently "selfless"; as long as it’s within his duty, no matter if it’s against common sense, he would agree.

"Yes."

Red Dragon calmly said, "I told him to go to the east side of [Tanyao]... I will meet him."

"Alright, no wonder the ’Sky Domain’ barrier shattered earlier, turns out to be him using the position plate again." Cloud Tiger mocked with a laugh: "It’s just burning the city in the West Cave... he can’t even handle such a small matter?"

Red Dragon glanced at the gleeful Cloud Tiger, reminding him, "Jia Wei is a fourth-order Transcender."

"..."

Cloud Tiger was silent for a second, shrugged and said, "Anyway, I won’t be involved, this is really foolish."

"I will report everything that happened in Sangzhou Cave truthfully to Mr. Tianshui."

Red Dragon said with lowered eyes: "Suzaku burned the city with merit, but not enough... this time he did not find the whereabouts of the ’God’s Favored Son’, he hasn’t completed ’redemption through merit’."

Cloud Tiger heard these words, feeling very pleased.

This journey south, completing the related training of "Wine Spark", he feels very good.

Among the four Divine Envoys, Suzaku is his greatest enemy in his heart!

This dead bird loves glory dearly and is skilled at snatching.

Xuan Turtle... appears honest, doesn’t seem like he can rob him, just like this grand hunt task, only the future "Lord of Wine" truly favored by Mr. Tianshui would be responsible for hunting outside!

The guardian is destined to be a backup.

Regarding Red Dragon—

Cloud Tiger pondered within himself, in terms of Cultivation Realm, practical combat ability, he was not as good as Red Dragon, if asked to choose "Lord of Wine", he definitely wasn’t a match for Red Dragon.

But for some reason, he always felt that Red Dragon didn’t care about the attributes of "Wine Spark".

In other words, Red Dragon was not bothered to fight for the "Lord of Wine" title!

Because of this matter, long ago, he sought Mr. Yan to perform divination, wasting a chance to use the "Prediction Technique".

Divination couldn’t peer into the "Spark".

So he divined Red Dragon’s inner thoughts.

Mr. Yan’s prophecy confirmed Cloud Tiger’s conjecture.

Red Dragon indeed didn’t care about "Wine Spark".

This brings an unprecedentedly favorable situation.

Suzaku was demoted, now he is the sole one destined! 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

"I need to go out for a while..."

Red Dragon said, "The hunting outside East Cave is entrusted to you."

He entrusted a simple task.

Cloud Tiger quickly nodded, hoping Red Dragon would leave soon... in the ongoing hunt, he could earn more "Merit".

Clouds spread, Red Dragon placed his hands on both blades, instantly hiding his aura.

He transformed into a scarlet thunderbolt dispersing between heaven and earth, rushing straight away.

However, Cloud Tiger did not notice.

After Red Dragon concealed his aura, he did not head toward the interior surrounding East Cave of [Tanyao], but slightly deviated towards the south.

...

...

"C1 Material Group has arrived."

"C3 completed the count of personnel."

Outside the base of Holy City Research Institute, Huazhi’s heavy machinery slowly landed, a total of about thirty Sincere Heart Association Transcendents arrived, driving Source Energy Armored Trucks and transporting materials.

After the leaders of the Four Continents divided Sangzhou Cave, they all intended to rebuild the high walls.

Though [Tanyao] began spewing volcanic ash... the wall construction work in the city still needed to be done before the Beast Tide was completely cleared, with Huazhi Group’s technology, as long as materials are available, the new city wall can be completed in a few days.

The cost of building high walls can be ignored by the large consortiums.

Protecting the relics within the city as much as possible, conducting awakening experiment data research, is far more important!

A total of over ten large armored trucks drove out from the heavy machinery cabin, the drivers presented identification, verified by [Deep Sea], and Holy City Research Institute opened the channel entrance... not only East Continent, other forces also chose air transport materials for wall maintenance work.

The East Continent armored truck convoy drove toward the inner ring of Sangzhou Cave.

On the head truck, a burly man in a flower shirt, steering with one hand and holding a wine bottle with the other, arm resting on the window, conducted low-voiced spirit communication: "Mr. Xiao Cui, I have arrived at ’Sangzhou Cave’."

"Zzz."

The communication system seemed to have some malfunction.

The burly man frowned slightly, adjusted the headset.

"This is Chen Mei, Gu Shen, Bai Xiu’s contact..."
