Upon learning of Hua Muyan's mysterious disappearance, Luo Xiu's mind was in complete disarray. He didn't know whether she had left due to betrayal or for some other reason.

Master Ping probably knew Luo Xiu was in a foul mood, so he tried to console him. "In my opinion, that Flower Demon has long been conquered by your attack speed of four hits per second. She's hopelessly devoted to you, so she wouldn't betray you."

Luo Xiu waved his hand dismissively. "Forget it. Let's focus on the task at hand."

Master Ping asked, "So, what's the plan?"

Luo Xiu stepped back a short distance and, with a flicker of light in his left eye, opened a portal to the Land of Lawlessness. Within the area sealed by the Forbidden Heavenly Barrier, any spatial abilities were useless, so he could only open the portal from the outside.

A moment later, Luo Ying, Luo Qianye, Dou Dou, Yaya, Mu Xueyan, Yang Zhilu, and the others began to emerge from the portal.

Luo Xiu surveyed the group. "The current situation is rather complicated. You can learn the details later."

"The Holy Boi Religion has gone to great lengths to seal off the entire Henghai Provincial City, which means this land must hold some special significance for them. Therefore, we must defend it."

Everyone looked at Luo Xiu and nodded grimly.

"Ying'er, you and Qianye go straight to Henghai Base and assist Admiral Yue in defending the Ancient Great Wall."

"Yes, sir!" the two women responded in unison.

Luo Xiu then turned to Dou Dou and Yaya. "You two, take the Thunderbolt Divine Boat and lead the disciples of the Heavenly Gull Sect to find the civilians trapped in various places. I'll transmit the spell to open the Forbidden Heavenly Barrier to you later. Your main task will be to evacuate the populace."

Dou Dou swung her little fists. "That sounds pretty good! Dou Dou loves saving people!"

Yaya placed her hands on her hips. "I don't want to fight anyway, so I'll do as you say."

Luo Xiu then looked at the three demons—Kuang Pi, Xiao Luanzi, and Lei Luan. "You three will take the Thunder Bee Swarm, the Fox Clan warriors, and the Zhangwei little demons to clean up the Seabed Monsters and Special Ability Warriors scattered about."

"If you encounter any, kill them on sight!"

"Understood!" the three demons shouted in unison.

Nearby, Pig Dragon sidled up to Luo Xiu, rubbing his crocodile claws together and wearing a lewd smile. "Heh heh, Big Brother, what about us three from the San Fei? What do we get to do?"

Luo Xiu said, "You three will go with Dou Dou. No matter how big the Thunderbolt Divine Boat is, there's a limit to how many people it can carry."

Hearing this, Dou Dou couldn't help but laugh. "What Chen Shuisheng means is that you three from the San Fei are going to be my personal transportation."

Pig Dragon felt deeply wronged and muttered, "I'm a demon lord in my own right, yet now I have to carry people... Big Brother, can't you think bigger?"

"My ass!" Xiao Luanzi cursed, landing a right roundhouse kick. "Just do what the boss tells you to do! Why are you bitching about it?"

Finally, Luo Xiu turned to the master and disciple pair, Mu Xueyan and Yang Zhilu.

"As for Palace Master Mu... you and Yang Zhilu will rendezvous with the Martial Combatants Coalition."

Mu Xueyan nodded gently. "I will also immediately summon all disciples of the Stunning Beauty Palace to the front lines as support."

Luo Xiu's gaze swept across the group one last time. "One more thing. Within this barrier, all spatial abilities are nullified. That means even Storage Magical Treasures won't work. If you need to bring anything, take it out before you go in."

"Oh, and Little Pouch, you're in charge of providing everyone with the Dao Yuan you've refined. Move between the different areas and provide support wherever it's needed."

"No problem, you can count on me! But Big Brother, you'll have to get me something good to replenish my strength afterward."

Luo Xiu asked, "What do you want to eat to get your strength back?"

Little Pouch pondered for a moment. "Pig Dragon's two big kidneys?"

"Scram!" Pig Dragon roared, chasing after him to deliver a beating.

「A short while later.」

After passing on the spell to freely enter and exit the Forbidden Heavenly Barrier to everyone, Luo Xiu took out his phone and called Di Xuanji, who was far away in the Capital City.

"Little Mule, when did you get back?" Di Xuanji's voice was filled with concern.

Luo Xiu said, "Let's skip the reunion for now. I need your help with something urgent."

"What is it? Tell me," she said.

"Launch the most powerful nuclear missile you have to Henghai Base," Luo Xiu stated plainly.

"What did you say?"

Luo Xiu explained, "I'll take the missile to the seabed myself and wipe out the monsters' lair in one fell swoop."

Di Xuanji was silent for a moment on the other end, but ultimately, she agreed.

Luo Xiu asked, "What's the ETA?"

"It will take about ten minutes to launch from the nearest base and reach Henghai," Di Xuanji replied.

"Ten minutes... that should be enough. Launch it now. I'm hanging up."

"Little Mule!" Di Xuanji suddenly shouted.

"What is it?"

"You... you have to be careful. Come back safely."

Luo Xiu smiled and teased, "What you should be thinking about now is how you're going to reward the King of the Nation.

"I'm doing you a huge favor, so you'll definitely have to bring Third Senior Sister along to thank me properly."

"Oh, get lost!" Di Xuanji said coquettishly. "Is this really the time to be thinking about things like that?"

"Hanging up."

"Mm."

After ending the call, Luo Xiu activated the spell to open the barrier. Taking along the "Wolong Fengchu" pair of Master Ping and Da Qian, he transformed into a streak of lightning and vanished into the distance.

Luo Ying and the others also activated their spells, opening the barrier and following close behind.

With his own flight speed augmented by his Thunder Path Physique, Luo Xiu crossed mountains and rivers in just a few short minutes, arriving at Henghai Base.

At that moment, the molten lava walls surrounding the coastline had cooled and solidified. Yue Tianyang was frantically arranging his troops, deploying firepower along the top of the giant wall.

A sonic boom suddenly ripped through the air above the base.

Luo Xiu descended from the sky, once again drawing loud cheers from the officers and soldiers.

On the giant wall, Yue Tianyang jogged up to Luo Xiu, saluted, and reported, "Prince, we've completed the emergency firepower deployment on the Ancient Great Wall. However, the number of Seabed Monsters seems to be increasing."

Luo Xiu gazed at the black mass churning on the sea's surface below, his brow furrowing slightly. The number of Shu Demons had clearly increased. If this continued, even the fifty-meter-high Ancient Great Wall might not hold.

Yue Tianyang said grimly, "Unfortunately, our weapons can't inflict any substantial damage on these Seabed Monsters."

Luo Xiu suddenly grew curious. "Then how did you win the first Battle of Henghai?"

Yue Tianyang explained, "The first time, these Seabed Monsters were nowhere near as powerful as they are now, so our weapons were effective. Besides, we won the first battle mainly thanks to Luo Ying."

Luo Xiu nodded. "It seems the Holy Boi Religion came very well-prepared this time."

As they were talking, a terrifying roar echoed from the sky. Yue Tianyang's expression sharpened, and he hurriedly looked up to see a streak of fire trailing a long plume of smoke, heading straight for the base like a falling meteor.

"Is that... a Donghong-19 missile?" Yue Tianyang's face turned pale. As a Martial Artist, his vision naturally far exceeded that of an ordinary person. "And the warhead it's carrying seems to be..."

"I'm going to take that down to the seabed and give them a little gift," Luo Xiu said suddenly. "Hopefully, it'll solve this problem once and for all."

Hearing this, Yue Tianyang stared in shock. "Won't that be too dangerous?"

Luo Xiu said nothing. He simply shot into the sky and activated the spell, opening a gap in the barrier high above to allow the missile to pass through smoothly.

Immediately afterward, Luo Xiu flew toward the missile at an even greater speed. With a wave of his hands, streams of Azure Spiritual Power shot forth, enveloping the weapon in mere moments.

Then, under the astonished gazes of the soldiers below, Luo Xiu took the missile and flew straight out over the distant sea.
