Nine Nether Dragon Emperor

The four of them suddenly heard Ning Xuan's voice and were all incredulous. After all, they were currently invisible thanks to their Battle Armor, and not even Tianji's most powerful exploration techniques could detect their presence!

How on earth did this guy find us?!

"Wait, he might be bluffing!"

As soon as this was said, the other three froze. Then they heard his voice again.

"Don't think that just because you're invisible, I can't find you... Ah, help!"

Hearing Ning Xuan's voice, the four were completely dumbfounded. The guy could actually see them!

Shit!

How the hell did he do it?!

"Let's go, show yourselves!" one of them said. "Stay sharp and don't take him lightly! If we capsize in a ditch over something so simple, we're finished!"

Heeding the warning, the four revealed themselves, only to nearly fall straight out of the sky. Right before their eyes, the commander had been blasted into a human hornet's nest by his own cannon fire! They were completely stunned.

Thus, the moment they landed, one of them demanded with a hostile expression, "If you could handle him, why did you yell for help?!"

"Uh, I was calling for you to save *his* life," Ning Xuan replied.

His words almost made the four of them explode with rage.

This guy is definitely doing this on purpose! He's playing us for fools! How outrageous!

Just as one of them was about to speak, Ning Xuan's voice preempted them. "Did I kill one of your sons, too?"

The four were taken aback.

"If I guessed right, then make your move. If not, then hurry up and escort me up. I imagine your Commander is getting impatient."

Hearing Ning Xuan, the four finally snapped out of it and scrambled to prepare his escort. They had never imagined Ning Xuan would be so cooperative.

The four found they couldn't see through Ning Xuan at all. They had to guard against him while moving, which naturally slowed their progress even more.

Then, just as they glanced away for a moment, they found that Ning Xuan had vanished.

The four of them were flabbergasted.

What the hell is going on?! We sealed off this entire space!

No one should have been able to leave without them noticing! Forget a person, not even a fly should have escaped!

The four were horrified, a chill running down their spines.

We're so screwed! How are we going to explain this to the Commander?!

"Hey, aren't you guys coming up?"

Just then, Ning Xuan's voice rang out. The four looked up and saw him waving at them from the Warship closest to their sealed space.

After a moment of shock, the four let out a collective sigh of relief. Without a second thought, they immediately flew over and surrounded him.

"How did you get here?!" one of them demanded as soon as they had him cornered.

"I just came over. Is there a problem?" Ning Xuan asked, looking genuinely puzzled.

"Impossible! The four of us have sea—"

One of them instinctively started to explain what they had done but was quickly cut off by another. "No problem! We'll take you up right now."

With a concerted effort, the four of them lifted the Warship as if it were a sedan chair and ascended into the sky.

This guy is just too damn strange. We have to get him to the Commander at once! A few more shocks like this, and our hearts will burst.

"Gentlemen, what technique is this?" Ning Xuan had turned into a chatterbox. "That's Battle Armor you're wearing, right? Who designed it? I feel like it's much stronger than this Divine Martial Battle Armor. Does anyone want to trade?"

At first, the four were wary and impatient. But when Ning Xuan said this, one of them couldn't hold back and asked, "Really?"

"Of course! I don't particularly care for this thing. The thought that Ning Yang also has one just makes me despise it even more!"

Hearing the conviction in Ning Xuan's voice, the man couldn't help but ask, "Do you have a grudge against Ning Yang?"

"He killed my grandfather and dozens of my family members. The hatred between us is irreconcilable!"

The four exchanged glances, a hint of sympathy in their eyes. What Ning Xuan said had to be true; no one would joke about their own family like that. If they had known this earlier, things might not have escalated to this point. But now, it was too late. After all, Ning Xuan had nearly blasted their headquarters into ruins!

"How about this, I'll trade Battle Armor with you. Then, I'll do my utmost to try and persuade the Commander," one of them suddenly offered, clearly believing Ning Xuan's story.

The other three were stunned for a moment before falling silent. This reaction surprised Ning Xuan. However, he had no intention of sowing discord at this moment, so he actually took out the Divine Martial Battle Armor.

At that, the four men's eyes went wide.

Just as Ning Xuan was handing the Divine Martial Battle Armor to the man, the Warship came to a sudden halt.

"Hahaha, you actually kept your word!" The loud laughter of the Alliance Commander boomed from ahead.

Just as the Divine Martial Battle Armor was within his grasp, this unexpected turn of events left the man completely crushed. What infuriated him even more was that upon seeing Ning Xuan's action, the Commander immediately ordered, "Since he knows what's good for him, what are you waiting for? Take it and bring it to me!"

"Ah? Wha... what?!" The man couldn't process it for a moment. He only understood after his three companions shot him urgent glances.

His lips twitched. He quickly lowered his head, took the Divine Martial Battle Armor from Ning Xuan, and slowly began to move toward the Commander. At that moment, his resentment began to surge.

Damn it, damn it, damn it! This was supposed to be mine! Ning Xuan had agreed to trade with me! You old fossil, why couldn't you have shown up earlier or later? Why did you have to appear right at this moment?! Aaargh, I so badly want to smack you dead, you old geezer!

The man's expression contorted rapidly.

"Yu Lu, what are you doing? Why are you dawdling!"

Just as he had nearly made his decision, the voice of one of his comrades snapped him back to his senses. When his eyes met the Commander's, his guilty conscience made him tremble, and he quickened his pace.

However, the Divine Martial Battle Armor still didn't reach the Commander's hands, because Ning Xuan suddenly flashed forward and snatched it back.

In an instant, Ning Xuan became the focus of everyone's hostility.

"What, are you going back on your word?!" the Commander demanded coldly.

"No, this Battle Armor was already promised to—"

"Ning Xuan, you're courting death!"

Before Ning Xuan could finish his sentence, two of the four soldiers attacked from either side, aiming for the kill.

BANG!

In the confined space, Ning Xuan had no room to dodge! He slammed hard against the energy barrier.

But he was unharmed. He had already donned the Divine Martial Battle Armor. In fact, his control over the armor far exceeded their imagination.

BOOM!

Clad in the Battle Armor, Ning Xuan instantly shattered their blockade and appeared directly in front of the Commander.
