Chapter 488 (1/2)
A white shadow hidden behind the woman slowly came out from the shadow and snorted, “Are you in love? He is just a tool!”
The woman stared at the white shadow coldly and put the mask back on, revealing the highest majesty of Zhiwu forest. It even made the white shadow also suddenly pause in hesitation.
“I only promised not to help him, but if you dare to do it here, my army will do whatever it takes to shred your people into pieces!” The woman’s voice was not loud, but it was domineering and overbearing. In the end, she added a coldly, “and, whoever he is, you are in no position to judge him!”
The white shadow’s face was livid. Facing the woman’s back, she said angrily, “Don’t forget who you are!”
At this moment, they suddenly received a message Then the woman and the white shadow’s expression instantly changed again.

Location: Sky City, the highest command center.
A fat man kicked away the guards, who had tried to block him, and yelled at the back of the man who suddenly seemed to become very old, “Why? Why did you send her!?”
The man didn’t turn around. He just stood there, as his sight pa.s.sed through the transparent window, sitently overlooking the city from above.
“It was her own choice.” He replied softly.
The fat man sneered and said, “If you didn’t allow her to go, how was she able to leave!”
The man turned around slowly and stared at the fat man coldly, “What I could do, I have already done it! How many people have died for the Chu family in that battle? The entire city was asked to put on mourning apparels! Everyone in Jin Ling city has already done enough for him. But… you also saw what The King Insect did with your own eyes… Now, you want to blame me? Then I can tell you, Jin Ling city has already used countless lives to repay the debt we owed him!”
“Use lives to repay him?” The fat man felt deflated. He lowered his voice but still stubbornly retorted, “He is him, the insect is the insect! All I know is that that is the debt we can’t pay off!”
After he finished, he left straight away. Looking at the back of the fat man, the man in the room seemed to become even older. With a hint of firmness in his eyes, he murmured in a cold voice, “Whether you admit it or not, we cannot go back now. Everything has already changed. You have changed too! Everything has changed!”
The body of the fat man, who had already reached the door, suddenly shook a little…
He stopped and wanted to say something. But it was suddenly interrupted the blinking lights in the command center. Then many urgent messages began to flood in…

Chu Yunsheng had already prepared to end everything before he approached the Zhiwu forest. But somehow, even after he left, he did not see the army that he had expected. However, in the air, the sixth nerve-like line could still faintly detect the movements in the surroundings. It was as if the wild beast that was about to be released was suddenly pulled back into the cage.
“If you don’t do it now, you won’t have any chances later!” facing the dark surroundings, Chu Yunsheng murmured. However, he still did not stay.
In any case, if he did not want to be discovered by others, no one would be able to find him in the wild. Even those crystal-dressed beings would not be able to find him back then, let alone those people. Therefore he went back to the mushroom forest that was near the pumpkin field with Yuan Xuejian.
With the faint connection with Yu Hanwu, he quickly found the scarred, but increasingly strong, Yu Hanwu in the deep of the forest. Just a simple glance, Chu Yunsheng immediately knew that this kid was working very hard to increase his power.
The flying head monster did not change much, apart from becoming slightly more vigorous.
Yuan Xuejian was asked to stay in the mushroom forest. Staying with Yu Hanwu and the flying-head monster was much safer for her. Moreover, she was able to heal Yu Hanwu.
However, Chu Yunsheng did not tell her that the “monster” in front of her was Yu Hanwu. He didn’t trust anyone now!
He knew that eventually, he would have a battle with aliens. And now that everyone he knew had already expressed which sides they were, this coming battle was basically becoming he versus the entire world.
But he was not afraid, because he had nothing to fear. He just quietly waited for that moment to come.
At the same time, in the mushroom forest, he began to prepare a large number of armors, talismans, and seal a large number of flying creatures. Time was quietly pa.s.sing by before the storm arrived.
The time he spent on practicing cultivation alone became longer and longer, but the time he spent on looking at the sky was even longer.
When he was still at a very young age, he often lay down on a mat in his aunt’s house, huddling together with Jing Tian and Jing Yi, and looking at the distant stars outside the window. He often thought that there were so many stars in the sky, but did every star have strange creatures living there? In faraway places that even the most advanced rockets could not reach, what did it look like over there?
At that time, he really wanted to be like a character in the science fiction movie, piloting a s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p and going to the vast starry sky to see the places that he might not be able to reach in his lifetime.
