Chapter One Hundred and One: Dongfeng III
------------
At the Palace of the Southern Xiongnu Empire…
After Ye Huan left, Xuan Ziming felt a strange discomfort as he stood amidst the burning ruins of Cining Palace. As the ruler of a nation, he had ended up negotiating with two individuals. Was this a victory or a loss?
Beside him, the Ninth-Level Practitioners were engaged in heated discussions:
"Did Ye Huan just walk away like that? Where are we supposed to put the face of our Southern Xiongnu Empire now?"
"Exactly! We were invaded by two people right into the palace; it's utterly humiliating."
"Who says otherwise? Sigh, if only we could have fought outside the palace! I could have taken down Ye Huan without breaking a sweat!"
Hearing their comments clearly, Xuan Ziming was furious. He turned sharply and shouted at the chattering Ninth-Level Warriors, "So you think you could take down Ye Huan outside the palace, huh?! Then go now! Don’t come back until you’ve killed Ye Huan!"
With that, Xuan Ziming waved his sleeve and stormed off, leaving the Ninth-Level Practitioners standing there in shock.
All of them were dumbfounded; they never imagined that their casual remarks would provoke such wrath from Xuan Ziming. They exchanged glances, unsure of what to do next.
"How about we all go and kill Ye Huan together?"
After a long pause, one of the Ninth-Level Practitioners finally spoke up—it was the same guy who had been kicked by Zhang Ren earlier!
Upon hearing this suggestion, the other Ninth-Level Practitioners hesitated for a moment but eventually nodded in agreement. Thus, a group of over ten individuals rushed to the palace stables, each grabbing a horse before charging out of the palace…
Unaware of the events unfolding behind him at the Southern Xiongnu Empire Palace, Ye Huan was feeling utterly content. His family had been rescued, and now all he needed to do was find Ye Tian. Compared to the thrill of storming the palace, searching for Ye Tian seemed much easier. Thus, Ye Huan amused himself by teasing Qiao Wei and chatting with Liu Ruyan and Ye Le as they made their way forward, covering quite a distance.
However, as they walked, Zhang Ren was the first to sense something unusual behind them. A wave of dense Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy surged forth, reminiscent of a dozen Ninth Level Warriors.
Having just exited the palace, Zhang Ren immediately turned to Ye Huan and said, "Ye Huan, something's wrong! It seems like a lot of people are chasing after us!"
"Someone is chasing us?" Ye Huan looked at Zhang Ren in surprise, and the face of Xuan Ziming flashed through his mind. He asked Zhang Ren again, "Can you tell what level they are?"
"Based on the intensity of the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy, at least eighth level; the highest might even be a Ninth-Level Practitioner!" As the waves of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy drew closer, Zhang Ren's expression grew increasingly anxious as he spoke to Ye Huan.
Not only was Zhang Ren feeling overwhelmed, but Ye Huan also understood that if these Ninth-Level Practitioners dared to come after them, it must mean they had received Xuan Ziming's orders. There was no way they would let them go unharmed.
With this thought in mind, Ye Huan wasted no time summoning a military Hummer. He turned to Zhang Ren and said, "Zhang Ren, hurry! You drive. Take my mother and the others to Han's place to hide. Tell Han Liu it’s my idea!"
Given that there was no one trustworthy in the Southern Xiongnu Empire, and recalling what Han Liu had said back at the Eastern House, Ye Huan decided it would be best for Zhang Ren to take Liu Ruyan and the others to seek refuge with Han.
Upon hearing Ye Huan's instructions, Zhang Ren had already jumped into the vehicle and started up the military Hummer. Suddenly realizing something was amiss, he exclaimed, "Ye Huan! What about you?!"
"I? I'll come find you later, but not right now!" Swallowing the last remaining Seventh-Level Beast Inner Pill from his possession, Ye Huan helped Liu Ruyan and the others into the vehicle before slamming shut the door of the Military Hummer. He waved at Zhang Ren and the others, signaling them to leave quickly.
With determination set in his heart and knowing that staying behind would only be a burden with so many Ninth-Level Practitioners pursuing them, Zhang Ren pressed down on the throttle. In no time at all, he accelerated to a top speed of 200 miles per hour, kicking up dust as they sped towards Flame Sun City.
After Zhang Ren and the others departed, Ye Huan glanced around before finding a ditch by the roadside where he crouched down. He focused on recovering the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy within his Summoning Book.
Barely a minute passed when a sound of hoofbeats echoed nearby. A dozen swift horses galloped past on the official road, kicking up dust in pursuit of where the Hummer had gone. However, how could ordinary horses possibly outrun a military Hummer?
It was clear that those Ninth-Level Practitioners were destined to return empty-handed.
After they left, Ye Huan slowly stood up by the side of the official road, dusting off his clothes. His expression was stern as he gazed toward the location of the Southern Xiongnu Empire Palace.
It must be said that Ye Huan had a very bad habit: he believed in repaying kindness and settling scores.
This was evident from when he dared to lead Zhang Ren into the Han family back then. Now, Ye Huan's tendency had clearly resurfaced as he summoned the 2012 Arms Compendium and quickly flipped to page twenty-eight. There, a massive truck was depicted, pulling a cylindrical object that looked quite heavy. However, Ye Huan understood deeply that such an item could easily destroy half of a palace!
At the bottom of page twenty-eight, there was even a line of small text: Dongfeng-3 (DF-3) Medium-Range Ground-to-Ground Strategic Missile!
The Dongfeng-3 (DF-3) Medium-Range Ground-to-Ground Strategic Missile was the first generation of medium-range ground-to-ground strategic missiles developed by China!
Trying to place his hand on the Summoning Book, Ye Huan concentrated all his energy into it and began the summoning process. He could clearly feel a large amount of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy within him rapidly depleting, soon vanishing completely. Not to mention the terrifying consumption of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy from the Summoning Book itself; fortunately, Ye Huan had previously swallowed an inner core from a Seventh-Level Magical Beast. Otherwise, this time he would have been blown to pieces!
As Ye Huan's Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy was completely drained, a super long Dongfeng III appeared before him, nearly thirty meters long. Even the ground bore deep imprints from the truck's enormous wheels. Behind the truck, a missile measuring 24 meters in length and 2.25 meters in diameter looked particularly fearsome.
Circling around the missile carefully, Ye Huan clearly saw the words 'Strategic Missile' inscribed on it. He finally breathed a sigh of relief, secretly grateful that it wasn't a nuclear warhead; otherwise, at such a short distance, he wouldn't have dared to use it for fear of being blown sky-high himself.
He pulled open the door of the Dongfeng III without hesitation and climbed inside, eager to figure out how to use the targeting system.
Fortunately, Ye Huan had previously encountered domestically produced Arms like the Type 99 Main Battle Tank and knew roughly how to operate a sighting scope. In no time at all, he found a display screen in the driver's cabin of the Dongfeng III and turned it on. After some adjustments, an image of the entire palace appeared clearly on the screen!
With a cold smirk, Ye Huan located the launch button and became curious about what Xuan Ziming would feel sitting in the palace when such a missile suddenly descended from the sky…
