"Oh."
Jian Ruyan heard Mu Jinyu's confident answer and responded softly. Her crimson lips pressed together slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but she lowered her head and remained silent.
...
One day later.
The online arguments about the dark chaos gradually subsided, and people stopped cursing Xiang Mantang. Instead, they focused on the movements in the West, wondering if the Brilliant Divine Authority would still proceed with their Eastern Expedition.
Mu Jinyu's live broadcast and explanation had already spread to the West; it was impossible to suppress it, so everyone was curious whether the Archbishop of Brilliant Divine Authority, who had rashly decided to commence the Eastern Expedition and demand an explanation from Mu Jinyu, would feel trapped after learning the truth and make a decision.
However, unexpectedly, Francis, the Archbishop of Brilliant Divine Authority, despite having definite information that he had watched Mu Jinyu's broadcast recording, did not apologize or halt the Eastern Expedition. He continued leading the Crusaders, advancing directly towards Huaxia.
"What the hell, are they seriously going to start a war? Do they have a death wish? Or do they think their experts are more numerous than ours?"
"Not to mention that the Dragon King Hall is no worse than their Brilliant Divine Authority, and after this major snow disaster, we have more survivors. Using overwhelming numbers alone could crush them, where do they find the courage to attempt an Eastern Expedition?"
"That's fine, let them continue the Eastern Expedition. Anyway, the Dragon King said if they insist, then we will fight until they're satisfied!"
"Exactly, actually it's better if it becomes a fight, we can watch the showdown of top-grade experts!"
"..."
Mu Jinyu no longer paid attention to the online discussions; he had just received the latest recording sent by Mu Hongchen.
The recording showed a group of people wearing Crusader Armor, looking fierce and mighty, boarding one warship after another in an orderly manner…
Then, the warships set sail, heading directly towards the southern sea of Huaxia!
"Is Francis really going to start a war?"
After watching the recording, Mu Jinyu's expression turned slightly serious.
Of course, he was not feeling immense pressure about the forthcoming Eastern Expedition from Brilliant Divine Authority; he simply didn't understand why they insisted on playing this game of eggs against rocks with the Dragon King Hall.
Clearly, Brilliant Divine Authority's situation after the dark chaos wasn't much better than the Fallen Splendor, and it could even be said that Brilliant Divine Authority sacrificed more personnel than Fallen Splendor, suffering heavier losses, especially since Fallen Splendor only lost Lucifer.
Yet, despite this, the organizations like Fallen Splendor, Withered Tree Quest for Spring, and Paradise Lost are still being chased around like beaten dogs by Yu Shenfeng and others…
Where does Francis get the misconception that their Brilliant Divine Authority can withstand a hammer from the Dragon King Hall in its current state?!
Originally, Mu Jinyu had a favorable impression of them because Reinhardt and their team chose to sacrifice themselves in the Mirror World incident to confine the Tide of Chaos, allowing their group to leave alive. He thought he might even look after Brilliant Divine Authority more in the future…
But now, Francis's puzzling actions have greatly diminished his limited good feelings towards Brilliant Divine Authority.
Thinking it over, Mu Jinyu didn't want to personally make a move, bully them, and realized Jian Ruyan's mood was still not good, so he said, "Little Yanzi, come along with me then."
"Oh."
Jian Ruyan was surprised when she heard Mu Jinyu's words, then nodded and said, "Okay."
Half a day later.
Under global attention, more than a dozen warships from Brilliant Divine Authority had already reached the southern sea border.
During this time, the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow had fired over a dozen missiles but failed to deal with these warships, as the missiles were easily disposed of.
Although the Eastern Expedition from Brilliant Divine Authority attracted a lot of attention, there weren't many people at the southern sea port to witness the confrontation between the Dragon King Hall and Brilliant Divine Authority.
After all, if the Dragon King Hall delayed their arrival, those with limited power who insisted on witnessing the event up close would be the first to suffer.
Watching the global live broadcast is safer, the image quality is decent, and it's not blurry.
Of course, ordinary people, or rather ordinary martial artists skilled in dark energy or energy transformation, did not dare to watch the event up close at the southern sea port.
But masters from various famous mountains, like Zhuo Bufan from Mount Mao, Monk Liaowu from Mount Jiuhua, the White Crane King from Mount Emei, those who survived Mu Jinyu's attack on the mountains or had crossed paths with him, all came near the port to watch.
Their cultivation had reached the Fanxu Realm's third and fourth levels after the spiritual energy recovery following the snow disaster, so they naturally didn't fear the so-called Eastern Expedition Army!
They were even considering, if Mu Jinyu didn't appear in person, they could intervene in the live broadcast and wipe out the Eastern Expedition Army within a minute, how cool would that be?
They could leave their names in history!
"Boom boom!!"
At this moment, numerous colossal warships pushed through the waves, shattering any lingering ice blocks into fragments along their path, their momentum unmatched!
"They're coming, they're coming!"
"The Eastern Expedition Army is here? Why can't we see the Dragon King Hall army?"
"Could it be that the Dragon King made big promises but fled at the crucial moment?"
People watching the live broadcast commented anxiously upon noticing that there were only a scattered few at the southern sea port.
"Boom!!"
Francis stood in front of the warship's bridge, gazing coldly at the shoreline ahead, his eyes devoid of emotion, indicating his high Intent Domain cultivation.
"Halt!"
At that moment, a clear voice rang out.
Afterward, a bizarre scene unfolded.
Those huge and heavy warships suddenly stopped their presumptuous advance as the voice rang out, and they came to a complete stop.
"Here it is, here it is!"
"It's the voice of the Dragon King, Dragon King is amazing!"
"Goodness, a warship weighs at least a million tons, and with one word from the Dragon King, all these warships became immovable like scrap metal. If the Dragon King wanted to annihilate them, couldn't he just do it with a single word?"
"Amazing, amazing, Dragon King, destroy the Crusaders and let me join the Western Expedition!"
"Let's go on the Western Expedition!"
"Let's go on the Western Expedition!!"
"..."
At this moment, even though the Dragon King Hall hadn't clashed with Brilliant Divine Authority yet, everyone was extremely excited, and the live stream was flooded with comments.
Instantly, the barrage of comments overwhelmed the live stream, with "Let's go on the Western Expedition" repeatedly filling the screen, almost obscuring the broadcast.
It almost crashed the server!
Viewers had to disable comments to see Mu Jinyu, accompanied by several women, stepping through the air and then standing by the port.
Seeing Mu Jinyu's appearance, the live stream viewers posted even more vigorously.
The masters who came to watch at the southern sea port, like Zhuo Bufan and others, stared at Mu Jinyu with complex emotions, increasingly aware of the vast gap between them.
Faced with the aggressive approach of the warships, while they also had ways to stop them, it all involved using spells to destroy the ships.
But none could achieve what Mu Jinyu did, where his words were immediately followed by actions!
