Fang Tiancheng, upon hearing An Hu's words, staggered and nearly fell from the sky.

He couldn't help but turn his head in shock to glance at An Hu, his heart filled with horror.

This... he dares to detonate a nuclear warhead? Isn't that just insane?

"You, you, you... I'm convinced! Damn, I am utterly convinced by you!"

An Long's eyes bulged out, as if they were about to pop out, and he slapped An Hu on the shoulder with an admiring expression on his face.

An Hu smiled slightly with a hint of regret: "Actually, I was kind of hoping that the nuclear warhead would explode, a pity... it didn't!"

"Scram!"

An Long shivered inside and cursed loudly.

"Haha!"

"Hehe!"

After that, both An Long burst into laughter.

Fang Tiancheng was startled by what An Hu said, but when he saw them laughing, he finally relaxed, knowing that An Hu was joking, and he felt a sincere admiration for Jiang Chen's control over the situation!

Considering their current status as arch enemies with the Sanzan Association, and Jiang Chen, their leader, being in extreme danger, it wouldn't be surprising if An Hu was ruthless enough to actually detonate that nuclear warhead, thought Fang Tiancheng.

However, that would be against human nature, since this place was Dongdu, a densely populated capital city. The consequences would be unimaginable if it were to be detonated here.

The fact that An Hu was able to refrain from detonating it showed that Jiang Chen's brethren, although cruel and resolute against enemies, would never harm innocent civilians. And from his words, one could tell that he had thoroughly checked the warhead's isolation, otherwise, he wouldn't have counted over thirty layers!

With a thought, Fang Tiancheng looked at An Hu, the corner of his mouth curled up, and he started to flee rapidly towards the distance.

Half an hour later, after Fang Tiancheng's full-speed escape, the three had arrived at a small port where forty-eight of Jiang Chen's brothers had already gathered.

"Brother An Hu!"

"Brother An Long!"

People like An Feng came out from their hiding places when they saw the arrival of An Hu and the others.

"This is Elder Fang Tiancheng!" An Long introduced Fang Tiancheng.

The crowd saluted and greeted Fang Tiancheng one after another.

Fang Tiancheng nodded, glanced at the ships on the port waters, and spoke softly: "You should hurry up and get on the boat to leave. I still have a mission to accomplish!"

"Elder Fang, what mission is it? Let's go together!" An Long, with eyes shining brightly, spoke eagerly.

"Yes, let's go together!"

"Right, Elder Fang, we haven't even started warming up yet!"

An Hu and the others chimed in, looking at Fang Tiancheng with anticipation.

Fang Tiancheng swept his gaze over the crowd, among which not a few were listless and bandaged with wounds, yet they were still looking at him with high spirits.

Admiring their spirit inwardly, Fang Tiancheng gently shook his head: "You're not strong enough. I need to infiltrate the Divine Palace. If you go, you'll only slow me down."

Although the words were unpleasant, Fang Tiancheng could not think of a better excuse on the spot to stop An Long and the others, so he had to say it straight.

Fang Tiancheng's words turned An Long and the others' faces dark with gloom as they hung their heads low, hating themselves for not being strong enough for perhaps the umpteenth time!

They wanted to do more, but they were aware of their own limitations. With their strength, infiltrating the Divine Palace was a sure death, and they were not afraid to die, but like Li Tianchong, they were afraid to die without achieving anything of value!

"Hurry up and go, get ready in international waters to rendezvous with Mr. Jiang." Fang Tiancheng gave them another reason they couldn't refuse.

"Yes!"

An Long responded, leading people onto the boat, and they quickly set off towards international waters.

Watching from a distance as An Long and the others left, Fang Tiancheng gritted his teeth, turned around, and leaped towards the center of Dongdu, his eyes revealing a touch of madness.

...

In the center of Dongdu City, the headquarters of the Sanzan Association.

"Bastards!"

"Bastards!"

Swear words echoed one after another.

At this moment, the complexion of Cangben Zhennan, the Venerable Realm peak guardian of the Divine Palace, turned extremely ugly.

The Eight-Headed Serpent's Soul Clone had warned him to keep a close watch on the Winter Capital, but he had not expected that while the echo of those admonishing words still lingered in his ears, the Sanzan Association headquarters had been blasted into the sky!

"Cangben Divine Envoy, a nuclear warhead has been found underground!"

A strong Venerable Realm mid-stage warrior from the Divine Palace reported to Cangben Zhennan by his side.

"What!?"

Cangben Zhennan's face changed drastically as he exclaimed, his figure leaping instantly to the side of the nuclear warhead that had been dug up by the crowd.

After examining the nuclear warhead and finding not a single scratch on it, Cangben Zhennan's face relaxed slightly, and he shouted furiously again: "Bastards! The bastards from the Sanzan Association! They actually buried a nuclear warhead in the Winter Capital, what are they trying to do? Bastards! Bastards!"

"Cangben Divine Envoy, what should we do with this...?"

The same Venerable Realm mid-stage warrior leaped to Cangben Zhennan's side and asked tentatively.

Bang!

A muffled sound—the Venerable Realm mid-stage warrior was sent flying with a slap from Cangben Zhennan.

Thud!

Spurt!

He slammed violently onto the ground, the Martial Artist spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood!

As the Martial Artist was sent flying, no one noticed that a dark figure had quietly arrived at the front gate of the Sanzan Association headquarters, glanced at the people on the ruins, and then silently concealed himself.

"Gui Qian, are you an idiot? Do you really need to ask such a question? Of course we should cart it away and hide it. Do you want to detonate it here?" Cangben Zhennan roared.

"Yes!"

Gui Qian dared not harbor any resentment, got up, bowed his head, and responded.

"The rest of you, come with me to guard the Divine Shrine; Gui Qian, stay behind to take care of that thing!" Cangben Zhennan shouted lowly, his figure vanishing into thin air.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Several Venerables from the Divine Palace swiftly rose into the air, disappearing into the night, leaving only Gui Qian with blood spilling from the corner of his mouth and a group of Semi Venerable Venerable Realm Martial Artists.

Gui Qian stood there with his head down, only raising his eyes to glance at the sky after Cangben Zhennan's figure disappeared, his eyes flashing with a resentful and venomous look.

"Venerable Gui Qian, this... how should we handle it?" A Semi Venerable Venerable Realm Martial Artist approached Gui Qian and prodded tentatively.

"You idiot, Sancun! Of course, it's to be carted away and hidden. Do you want to detonate it right here?"

Bang!

Gui Qian roared, slamming Sancun in the chest with a fierce palm.

Spurt!

Thud!

Sancun vomited a mouthful of blood, sent flying and crashing harshly to the ground, his energy instantly withering away—it was evident he was a goner!

The rest of the crowd trembled with alarm, hastily turning to hurry towards the nuclear warhead to prepare its transportation, not daring to look at Gui Qian.

Gui Qian swept his eyes over the crowd, his eyes emanating a fierce and malicious resentment.

He was the Sanzan Association's person in charge within the Divine Palace; following such an attack on the Sanzan Association, especially in the Winter Capital, he bore an undeniable responsibility, and his standing within the Divine Palace would plummet dramatically!

Having killed a man, Gui Qian was still not completely pacified; he wanted to find someone who was not minding their own business to vent his fury, but everyone was diligently working, leaving him with no outlet for his festering rage!

Swish!

A ghostly figure suddenly appeared beside Gui Qian, speaking faintly: "How about, I do it."
