"What, what is this situation?"

Kuang Shi was completely dumbfounded, and couldn't help but exclaim in shock.

Yan Mo's brows knitted slightly as he gave Jiang Chen a deep look, recalling the moment just before when he had suddenly lost all fighting spirit, and a guess formed in his mind. However, he knew this was not something he could inquire about—it was everyone's secret, especially since it was a move used by the boss of his own boss. There was no need for him to dwell on it.

"Ugh…"

A low groan of pain sounded, and Jiang Chen crouched on the ground, clutching his head.

After killing Mage Liesi, as soon as he retracted his killing intent, a wave of extreme weakness and tearing pain hit him, contorting his face with agony.

"Dragon King!"

"Dragon King!"

Exclamations rang out as Xuan Long and the others rushed towards Jiang Chen.

Xuan Long reached out to help Jiang Chen up, asking with concern, "Dragon King, are you alright?"

"It's nothing!" Enduring the sharp pain, Jiang Chen spoke weakly, truly feeling weak now. He knew this was due to an excessive consumption of his Soul Power. With a light wave of his hand, Jiang Chen signaled, "Let's go, let's head back."

Was it because he couldn't yet control this power that he was suffering backlash?

Watching Jiang Chen's pale, bloodless face, Yan Mo murmured to himself.

Without further delay, Xuan Long carried Jiang Chen on his back, and they all rushed towards Changlan City. Although no one knew what had happened to Jiang Chen, it was clear to them that he needed rest.

...

The sky gradually brightened, and in the east, the red sun peeked over the horizon.

As the morning sun rose, Jiang Chen and the group returned to Changlan City.

"Oh? You're back?" At the entrance of the dilapidated hotel, Si Daba, who had been woken up by Mengte De'er knocking on the door, looked at Jiang Chen and the others with a look of disbelief: "You all came back in one piece?"

"Why should we lose anyone?" Jiang Chen replied with a smile.

Si Daba gave an awkward smile and stepped aside to open the door.

Jiang Chen and the others walked into the hotel and headed straight for their rooms, where they fell into a deep sleep as soon as they hit the beds.

Si Daba glanced at the figures of Jiang Chen and the others entering the elevator and then turned to walk up the stairs. When he reached the mezzanine between the second-floor banquet hall and the third-floor small banquet hall, he stopped in front of a man-high distribution box.

Looking around, Si Daba opened the distribution box and reached for a notch beside a row of electrical components inside, giving it a hard twist.

Click!

The entire interior of the distribution box shifted to the side, revealing a gap. Si Daba applied more force, and all the electrical components inside the box retracted into the wall, revealing a security door within a meter of the distribution box.

Si Daba entered the distribution box, closed its door, and pressed the doorbell on the security door.

Ding-dong!

The doorbell sounded and the security door opened, revealing a woman wearing a black tight-fitting tracksuit standing at the doorway.

The woman's long hair was tied into a ponytail behind her back, revealing her proud figure in a body-hugging outfit; her ample chest would certainly make 99.9% of men in the world instantly aroused.

However, when Si Daba saw this woman with seductive features and an impressive figure, his eyes did not show the usual desire a man would have upon seeing a beautiful woman, but instead were filled with fear. He quickly lowered his head and said:

"Miss Luo Sha, Si Daba has a report for Her Majesty."

"Come in!"

A lazy yet enchanting voice rang out, making Si Daba's face turn red and his heart throb violently. Although he had heard this voice several times, each time he heard it, Si Daba couldn't help his heart racing.

Taking a deep breath, Si Daba calmed his emotions and suppressed the trembling in his heart. His eyes shifted from a hazy look to a clear one, and then he looked up with respect.

It was only after Si Daba's change in gaze had settled that Luo Sha, who had been blocking the door, stepped aside to make way.

Si Daba bowed to Luo Sha before entering through the security door, but he didn't continue forward and instead stopped in his tracks.

Only after Luo Sha closed the door and walked past him, did Si Daba resume walking, following behind her without daring to let his eyes drift to her shapely curves.

He still remembered that six months ago, a Paladin Knight who sneaked a glimpse of Luo Sha's curves, thinking she was unaware, faced a swift punishment. The very next moment, the soft sword she wore as a belt had slashed across his eyes, adding another blind Paladin Knight to the world!

The secret room inside the power distribution box was a large suite, and Luo Sha brought Si Daba to the bedroom door.

Knock, knock, knock!

Luo Sha gently knocked on the door.

"Enter!" The alluring voice sounded again, and Luo Sha pushed the door open and walked in.

Si Daba lowered his head and followed Luo Sha inside, stopping just two steps into the doorway. He kept his gaze down, filled with nervousness.

The room was simply furnished with a large bed, a dressing table, a desktop computer, two bedside tables.

On the bed, a woman wearing a black lace negligee leaned against the headboard, looking at the laptop on her lap. The computer obscured the lower part of her body, making it seem as if she wore nothing underneath.

"Speak!" The woman uttered indifferently, not even glancing at Si Daba.

Si Daba bowed deeply and said softly, "Your Majesty, last night the Dragon Flame Mercenary Group and Dark Spider launched a major battle at two locations.

Dragon King, Xuan Long, Snake Woman, Mengte De'er, and Scar joined forces with Burst Flame's Yan Mo and Kuang Shi outside Changlan City to confront Mage Liesi and five other Paladin Knights, including the Great Knight Magelies.

Another front was led by the Dragon Flame Mercenary Group's deputy commander An Long. They attacked the Dark Spider's base.

According to our informants, Dark Spider's base has become ruins. After capturing the base, the Dragon Flame Mercenary Group looted the ammunition depot and set the base ablaze, but the fire did not reach the G country military camp."

"The battle report," the woman lifted her head to look at Si Daba, revealing a face that was delicate and full of allure.

Her porcelain-like skin was impeccable, her luscious red lips inviting a kiss, her upright nose, and her phoenix eyes carried a seductive look.

"As for the base, the Dragon Flame Mercenary Group completely wiped out all of Dark Spider's forces inside. Regarding the Dragon King and the others… the specifics are unclear. They have returned without any injuries, but the Dragon King himself had an undeniable look of fatigue on his face!"

Si Daba hesitated for a moment; he knew his Queen did not appreciate uncertain answers. However, he genuinely did not know the outcome of Jiang Chen and his group's battle. A clash between nearly ten Paladin Knights was not something their spies could get close to, but the matter was too significant for him not to report immediately.

"Not a single injury, yet the Dragon King appears fatigued…" The Queen pondered for a moment, then said softly, "Send Mo Rin to their battleground to investigate further."

"Mr. Mo Rin has already gone there," Si Daba responded, still looking down.
