Chapter 219: Foreigners (I)

The giant steel-spear spiders would cause heavy casualties to the citizens of Lintong City if they had attacked the city.

After Chen Yiming arrived, peace was restored in less than 10 minutes. All that was left was to excavate the spoils from the battle.

More than 100 people were using shovels to dig through the soil. Fortunately, none of them were ordinary people, and the efficiency of the excavation was as high as that of machines.

The corpses of the giant steel-spear spiders were dug out from the ground one after another, and then valuable materials were collected from them. The eight-legged steel spears could be reworked into weapons, and the venom in the poison sacs could be used to temper the weapons.

The military warriors on the city wall looked on with envy.

As soldiers, who would be willing to stay behind and guard the city rather than going out to attack and kill the enemy?

If Chen Yiming was their superior, they wouldn’t have to consider so many things. They could just slash their way through the group of giant steel-spear spiders that dared to show their faces.

During this time, Lintong City sent someone to invite Chen Yiming into the city, but he refused.

To the current him, all the formalities were purely a waste of time. He might as well spend more time on his cultivation of internal force fusion.

The people from Lintong City did not say anything. This was the privilege of the strong.

About an hour later, Chen Yiming led his men into the sky and disappeared from Lintong City together with their loot.

…

Time passed quickly, and another week was over.

On average, Chen Yiming would leave the city once or twice a day to provide his aid.

The giant steel-spear spiders that had left behind the space-travel passage in the catacombs were facing a serious shortage of food underground, so they had to climb out of the ground to hunt humans or other mutant beasts.

After several consecutive battles, the giant steel-spear spiders were almost completely wiped out in the area that Chen Yiming was in charge of. They were either killed or had fled further away.

One afternoon, after his daily cultivation ended.

Now that he could receive a rescue mission at any time, he did not have the time to go to the otherworld to cultivate and speed up his accumulation of Skill Points.

After he left the villa, he randomly chose a direction.

As he walked, he sensed the difference between the blue planet and the otherworld.

The mysterious power, which was also known as spiritual energy or elemental energy, was like the flow of water. It would flow from a high place to a low place.

The space-travel passages on the blue planet were like water valves. The mysterious power leaked out from the otherworld and spread to the blue planet.

In a human city far away from the space-travel passage, even with the sharp senses of the spiritual figure, it was almost impossible to sense the active state of the world.

This made Chen Yiming vaguely realize the truth about the war with the otherworld.

Why was it that from all the information, the otherworld seemed to be far stronger than the blue planet, but it still could not completely turn the blue planet into a wasteland?

Why did the Daxia Kingdom forcefully create a stronghold in the otherworld, even going so far as to weaken the defense of their own territory? Why did they show no signs of returning to help with the tense situation in Jiangnan province?

The Daxia Kingdom covered a large area. If a large number of its strongest forces left for a long time, wouldn’t they be afraid that foreign factions would attack them?

He walked along the street for a few kilometers before his thoughts were interrupted by the commotion from the crowd.

On a large stage not far away, five foreigners with blond hair and blue eyes were enjoying the admiring gazes of the onlookers.

These five foreigners were of varying ages.

They were made up of an old man, a middle-aged man, and three young people between the ages of 20 and 30.

The old man had a strong aura even as he stood there quietly with his hands behind his back. He seemed to be an expert from another world.

The middle-aged man and the three young men at the side had confident expressions on their faces. They looked like boxers who had just defeated their opponents.

“Sir, what a coincidence to meet you here.”

Chen Yiming was sizing up the foreigners when he heard a familiar voice.

He turned around and saw Xie Weilin walking over.

The other party was not wearing a dark green military uniform today. Instead, she was wearing a bold black halter dress which hugged her curves.

In addition, her feet were also mostly exposed. She was wearing a pair of crystal open-toed sandals, revealing a pair of long, fair legs that were more than a meter in length.

On her face, her red lips were paired with light makeup and a pair of crescent earrings. She looked like a beautiful socialite.

“Are you on an undercover mission?” Chen Yiming asked when he saw her.

How could there be so many coincidences? The foreigners on the stage were not weak, and the military warriors happened to be in the area as well.

“No, I just happened to see that something was happening here while I was shopping, so I came over to join in the fun.”

Xie Weilin blinked her big watery eyes, looking aggrieved.

Her meaning was obvious. She wanted Chen Yiming not to expose her true intentions.

“What are those foreigners doing in Fanghua City? Are they really crossing the vast sea for the sake of a martial arts exchange?” Chen Yiming didn’t think much of it and asked again.

“Those people visited all the martial arts schools in the city as soon as they arrived,” Xie Weilin walked over and whispered.

“So they are really here for a martial arts exchange?” Chen Yiming asked in surprise.

Now that mutant beasts were rampant in the wilderness, it was not easy to travel from the western countries to the eastern countries.

If they walked on land, they would have to pass through a large number of areas that they did not know much about. If they accidentally entered the territory of a powerful mutant beast, the consequences would be unimaginable.

If they traveled via the sea, it was also dangerous to cross such a huge distance. Without a warrior who had mastered the transformation of internal force, it was very easy for a shipwreck to happen.

“Sir, how did you manage to balance cultivation and actual combat? I want to ask you some questions about this,” Xie Weilin could not help but ask softly.

“There’s no secret to it. Just work on it,” Chen Yiming said calmly.

The two of them got up together and left the crowd to go to the next street.

There was no lie in his words. Chen Yiming didn’t bother to study combat techniques and tactics. His focus was mainly on breaking through to the next level.

With internal force that far exceeded those of the same level, there was no need for any techniques or tactics. He could always resolve the problem by fighting head-on with his opponents.

“The situation is very serious now. Those foreigners are taking advantage of the fact that our top forces have been mobilized to the otherworld to brazenly recruit young geniuses with potential from our cities,”

Xie Weilin stopped and hurriedly explained.

“Aren’t you going to do anything about it?” Chen Yiming asked doubtfully.

In the long run, the loss of young talents was a very serious matter. At the moment, there might not be any problems, but the hidden danger of a shortage of martial arts talent would appear one day.

“Of course the higher-ups know about this, but this is a critical period. As long as they don’t go too far, we should prioritize the larger picture,” Xie Weilin sighed and said helplessly.

Jiangnan province had just been threatened by the beast tide that had erupted from the gathering place of the mutant beasts from the north and south. The situation could only be barely maintained, so they naturally did not want to cause any more trouble.

“Isn’t it going too far to dig out the foundations of a province?” Chen Yiming asked in return.

If any faction dared to make such a move on the Chen corporation, he would have already settled matters with them personally. He would not have allowed them to try to explain themselves at all.

“As long as those foreigners abide by the law and both sides are willing, there’s no need for us to interfere. We’re afraid that if an international dispute arises, it will affect the overall situation,” Xie Weilin explained.

After she spoke, she looked at Chen Yiming expectantly.

It was not appropriate for Fanghua City to step in, but it would not be a problem for a civilian expert to step in. No matter the outcome, it would just become a fight in the martial arts world.

Chen Yiming didn’t agree immediately.

The head of the Myriad Phenomena Sect, Ye Jianyuan, had been transferred to a stronghold in the otherworld, and no one knew when he would return.

On the other hand, befriending the higher-ups of Jiangnan province would not only increase his reputation, but also provide another way for him to break through to the master realm after completing the internal force fusion.

No matter how deep the foundation of a large sect was, it was impossible for them to compare to the entire Jiangnan province. Otherwise, why would those sect masters listen to the orders from the province obediently?

In the end, he did not have the ability to refuse.
