Meanwhile, Dong Zian turned his head to the side and looked in one direction upon sensing the energy changes. He saw two figures coming toward him at high speed.

He was already prepared for this. He tapped the Ferocious Wolf mecha under him, and at once, the mecha turned around. There was a flash of light on the mecha’s back and it had carried him toward Dong Zian.

“Dong Zian! What are you doing? Who authorized you to prepare to withdraw?” Yu Guanzhi had yet to arrive, but his furious voice echoed through the sky.

In the next moment, the Divine Brush Douluo had joined the Boundless Sea Douluo Chen Xinjie and arrived at a spot near the Ferocious Wolf Douluo Dong Zian.

“Supreme commander, what do you mean? When did I sat that we’re going to withdraw?” Dong Zian had an astonished expression on his face.

“What did you say?” Yu Guanzhi raised his hand and pointed to the Western Army Corps bustling about at the back. He roared in rage and said, “What are your people doing if not trying to retreat?”

Dong Zian heaved a sigh and intentionally made an agonized expression. “Supreme commander, you’ve seen it too. There’s nothing we can do to resist the Bloodriver Godkiller Great Array in any way. Our Western Army Corps can’t resist it either. However, you can be at ease. We’re not trying to withdraw from our position. We are only preparing to carry on the fight while drawing back. We can’t just let the great array enshroud us and pull us in. Of course, we will immediately return to our position if the Eternal Heaven’s attack can arrive in time. Don’t worry. The Western Army Corps won’t withdraw from the position even if only one last man is left standing. This is our duty as soldiers.”

“Nonsense!” Yu Guanzhi cursed aloud. “There is at least one more night until the Bloodriver Godkiller Great Array arrives. Even if you are carrying on the fight while beating a retreat, you must only carry out upon receiving my order. Moreover, now is definitely not the time. Without my order, who gave you permission to withdraw from your position?”

Dong Zian looked at Yu Guanzhi’s exasperated look. For some reason, he felt rather pleased. “Supreme commander, a straightforward person does not resort to insinuations. Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect refuse to utilize the Eternal Heaven to spite the Spirit Pagoda and us, right? You should know about this more than us. Only the Eternal Heaven can break the great array now, yet you consent to their procrastination. Could it be that the lives of our brothers in Western Army Corps are unworthy? I won’t really retreat, but you can tell the Tang Sect and Shrek that if they don’t launch the Eternal Heaven, we will withdraw from the position.”

“You...” Yu Guanzhi was so furious he was at a loss for words.

“I can guarantee that Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect aren’t intentionally procrastinating,” said the Boundless Sea Douluo Chen Xinjie in a deep voice.

Dong Zian rolled his eyes. He turned his head to the side and looked at Chen Xinjie. “Elder Chen, can you guarantee that? Had it not been for you, the Eternal Heaven would still be with the Federation. Would it cause so much trouble?”

Chen Xinjie’s gaze changed, and a terrifying aura burst forth from his body abruptly. It was so powerful that it warped the sky above them, violently twisting it like a mighty torrent.

Dong Zian turned pale for a moment as he realized that he went a little too far with his remarks. Moreover, it was his first time being confronted by a quasigod-ranked Limit Douluo’s aura.

He was also a Limit Douluo, but he had just touched the threshold of demigod rank recently. He was still far from being a quasigod.

Chen Xinjie was already old, ailing and close to death. How could he still possess such a formidable aura?

Just as he was feeling astonished, all of a sudden, a violent, loud booming noise came from nearby. Suddenly, a ball of fiery light ignited in the position where Western Army Corps had just withdrawn from.

The deafening boom exploded loudly like a thunderclap then transformed into an enormous ball of fire. It blasted a huge breach in the Western Army Corps’ steady defensive line at once.

“What’s going on?” The Ferocious Wolf Douluo Dong Zian was greatly startled.

“What’s happening? What is the situation at the position? Where are the officers on duty?” he inquired through the soul communicator anxiously.

Meanwhile, somethings were charging into the position at high speed through the huge breach filled with fiery light. Whatever they were, they were devastating the location, wreaking havoc as they moved.

The figure at the front was a giant bull-like creature with a large body over a hundred meters in length. This giant bull had a pair of fifty-meter-long horns. Where it passed, not even alloy could stop it from charging and slamming about. It charged into the position and began to wreak havoc.

All of a sudden, Dong Zian felt chills running down his chest. His mind went blank instantaneously.

‘How did this happen? I thought the Bloodriver Godkiller Great Array would not arrive for one more night? But...’

He suddenly realized that he had made a fatal mistake. His selfishness and jealousy blinded him such that he neglected something important. Though the Blood River Godkiller Great Array was completely sealed from their side, it could be opened to the abyssal legion at any moment.

Even though he had no idea how the abyssal legion evaded their detection soul devices and arrived at the Western Army Corps’ defensive position, he figured that the unexpected attack was certainly premeditated to target him.

Yu Guanzhi and Chen Xinjie were greatly startled as well. Had it not been Dong Zian’s drastic change of expression in the meantime, they would even begin to suspect that Dong Zian was a traitor.

“Damn it! Dispatch my order. Return to your position immediately and stop the abyssal creatures. Quick!” Dong Zian roared aloud. The Ferocious Wolf mecha under him opened its hatch and he dove into it immediately. Radiance spurted out from the back of the Ferocious Wolf mecha. It turned into a stream of bright light and shot straight toward the Western Army Corps.

Whether he was selfish on the inside, Dong Zian was still a soldier after all. He was a true warrior. He relied on his abilities to fight his way to his current position. He had his own persistence, honor and also amazing abilities.

1He was well aware of the significance of the situation taking place before him at that moment. He was not really going to withdraw his army earlier, but it was too late for regrets now. He could only do everything in his power to minimize the loss!

Like a man possessed, Dong Zian charged toward the camp straightaway. The Western Army Corps’ camp was in a chaotic mess.

On the Spirit Pagoda powerhouses’ side that followed the Western Army Corps as they pretended that they were withdrawing, Qiangu Dongfeng was also ghastly pale as well.

Was it a coincidence? Surely it could not have just been happenstance? How could there possibly be such a coincidence?

Qiangu Dongfeng had proposed to feign a retreat. Just as they were withdrawing the army from their position while Dong Zian was discussing with Yu Guanzhi and Chen Xinjie, the abyssal legion had arrived. The timing was too coincidental, right?

Qiangu Dongfeng figured that there was an inside man almost instantaneously. Someone from the Holy Spirit Cult had snuck into the Western Army Corps. On the other hand, the most likely place for a mile to sneak into was the Spirit Pagoda!

Just like Dong Zian, he would never hope that the continent would be destroyed no matter how selfish he was!

Who was the inside man? His ferocious eyes swept past the people around him, but he did not manage to discover anything. Everyone’s gaze remained fixed upon himself in the meantime.

Qiangu Dongfeng shouted furiously with a coldness in his eyes, “Let’s go. Join the Western Army Corps to stop the enemy together.” He had no other choice but to take the risk and fight for his life.

He raised an arm to summon his Coiling Dragon Staff. The Spirit Pagoda’s Pagoda Master took the lead to charge straight toward the breach.

A dragon’s roar came from his side. At his side, Gu Yuena followed while raising the Silver Dragon Spear in her hand. Silver light bloomed from her body when her four-word battle armor was unleashed.

Just as she summoned her incomparably magnificent, dazzling, silver four-word battle armor, she instinctively looked into the distance in his direction.

‘Do you know that my four-word battle armor is called the Silver Dragon Dance Qilin?’

‘I am the Silver Dragon Dance Qilin Gu Yuena!’

The Western Army Corps deserved its reputation of being the most elite division. Despite the unexpected change, they still managed to react to the situation at once. The mecha troop charged toward the breach first while the entire army returned to its position.

The Ferocious Wolf Douluo Dong Zian flew at the forefront. He relied on his divine mecha’s speed to arrive at the area above the breach almost instantaneously.
