Several hundred thousand men withdrew from Jinrui Mountain and fell into a momentarily sad silence .
After the Eight Armies left, Jin Zaitian made a personal call to the Martial God in hopes that the Martial God would be able to get the Ascending Nine-Orifice Sky Lotus from the Unrivaled Warrior or Lu Tini .
Although he had already lost a great deal of his dignity, many people were really hopeful about Jin Zaitian's endeavor .
This time, their greatest desire was that the Martial God, who they relied greatly on, would set things straight .
However, in the end, they didn't get what they had been hoping for .
Lu Tini got to keep the lotus indeed!
This decision felt like a massive mountain crashing down on the Eight Armies . The only thing some staunch men were thinking about was fighting to their death .
Xu Zhong started drinking heavily .
It was the only thing he could do right now . He couldn't do anything for Lu Xiu's injury or help nurse him back to health .

Therefore, he could only drink .
"Luo Yunyang! Where have you run off to, you son of a b*tch?" Xu Zhong grumbled as he picked up his bottle of wine .
Among all the people he knew, perhaps only Luo Yunyang would be able to solve this problem . However, Luo Yunyang had already run off into the dimensional fracture .
Nobody was able to contact him, so people were going around spreading rumors . They said that Luo Yunyang had overestimated himself by entering the dimensional fracture .
Compared to the huge amounts of source beasts inside the fracture, the Primordial Diabolical Bull was just a negligible factor .
The bull's power hadn't exceeded its limits, so the space hadn't ripped completely . Luo Yunyang had driven it away successfully, yet he would turn into food for those powerful source beasts soon after entering the dimensional fracture .
Xu Zhong was really angry about these rumors . He didn't know exactly who had made these ungrateful speculations about Luo Yunyang, the very man who had saved the 13 Eastern Cities .
Although Xu Zhong wanted to kill someone, the people who had started the rumors were unfortunately very cunning, so he had no idea who they were .
Xu Zhong took out his communication device in a drunken haze and dialed a number he had called many times .
The device beeped, but there was no answer . Actually, there seemed to be something wrong with that beeping sound, but Xu Zhong was unable to pinpoint what it was .

After three beeps, he suddenly reacted . His eyes widened, and he felt extremely nervous .
"Instructor Xu, what a coincidence! I had just entered the Da Alliance's domain, when you called me . Ha ha!" A subtle teasing voice wafted through his communication device .
That voice and that teasing tone were both really familiar . Xu Zhong felt as though his whole body was soaring . Without even caring about Luo Yunyang's current status, he shouted emotionally, "Luo Yunyang, where have you disappeared to? Your… Your father is getting bullied!"
His shouts were thunderous .
"Get your ass over here! Come find me at Chang'an's largest bar in three minutes! If you don't, daddy will fire you!" Xu Zhong said before viciously hanging up . It was only after he ended the call that he realized what he had done wrong .
He had just contacted Luo Yunyang!
Although the kid had heard what he had said, Xu Zhong didn't know what would happen after he ended the call .
For a moment, Xu Zhong didn't say anything . Then, he quickly activated his communication device and dialed Luo Yunyang's number frantically .
Unable to connect, unable to connect, unable to connect…
Xu Zhong suddenly put down the communication device in a frenzy, raised his hands and slapped himself hard on the face .
Even at such a time, he had still treated Luo Yunyang pretentiously . Even though this was an urgent moment, he actually hadn't told Luo Yunyang anything substantial .
Any delay would shorten the Viceroy's life . When he thought that the Viceroy only had half a day left to live, Xu Zhong slapped himself one more time .
Normally, when he slapped himself, he would hold back a little . However, he showed no mercy on his face that day .
One slap nearly dislodged one of his molars .
"You really have no equal, Instructor . Wow, you tried this out with so much strength! Seems like you have improved considerably!" a teasing voice suddenly said in Xu Zhong's ear .
Xu Zhong saw Luo Yunyang standing right in front of him with a smile . Although his clothes were torn and tattered, he didn't seem defeated . He actually seemed to be in high spirits .
"Are you really Luo Yunyang?" Xu Zhong stared at Luo Yunyang as he spoke with a shaky voice .
Luo Yunyang grinned and punched Xu Zhong mercilessly .
Xu Zhong shot out like a cannonball at his punch, flew out of the top level of the bar and landed in a pond outside .
The slightly icy water made Xu Zhong sober up completely . However, what excited Xu Zhong was the wave of energy that rushed into his source core . It felt as if a massive dosage had entered his source core, which hadn't progressed in a long time .
He suddenly experienced a massive improvement in his cultivation base and became a first-grade martial master!
According to Lu Xiu, if Xu Zhong wanted to become a first-grade martial master, he would need at least a year of hard training . Luo Yunyang's appearance had been shocking enough, yet his punch had actually substituted a year's worth of work for Xu Zhong .
Xu Zhong, who now believed that Luo Yunyang was actually in front of him, laughed and then cursed loudly . "You… You bastard! Why did it take you so long to return? Late… It is already too late . The Viceroy only has three hours left to live . You… You… You…"
When he saw Xu Zhong's state, Luo Yunyang's heart tightened . He didn't waste any time on senseless chatter . Instead, he placed his hand on Xu Zhong's head .
In an instant, everything that had happened during the past few days was etched clearly in Luo Yunyang's mind .
The image of the man with the golden glow at sunset made Luo Yunyang's throat go dry .
He waved his hands at Xu Zhong and said, "I will handle the matter with the Ascending Nine-Orifice Sky Lotus . Take this medicine to the Viceroy and have him take it . He shouldn't notice any changes for a day!"
As he said this, Luo Yunyang's body had already become a streak of lightning that rushed towards the 17 Western Cities .
