Chapter 78

After Ning Yue saw off Lu Wenyin, he arrived at his secret base. The one who greeted him at this base was not any of the twelve spirit attendants, but a young man who looked extremely handsome and was dressed in a very flashy white suit.

This young man appeared to have some European and American blood, but his main features were still Chinese. Upon seeing Ning Yue, he respectfully greeted him with ancient etiquette before welcoming Ning Yue into the base.

This underground base was a relic from the era of war preparedness and famine, now long forgotten, even by the government records, which Ning Yue had erased.

The underground base had over ten exits, stretching through the entire main city. Four of these could accommodate thousands of people as shelters. Now, one of these shelters was being used to house nearly a hundred people awaiting Ning Yue's orders.

This team was the White Robe Army, the most capable in single combat among the twelve elite units under Ning Yue. The White Robe Army numbered around five thousand, but after excluding logistics, reserves, researchers, and administrative staff, only about eight hundred were truly capable of executing combat missions.

This time, Ning Yue mobilized the White Robe Army and the Vanguard Camp for a small-scale war. The White Robe Army dispatched nearly a hundred of its best fighters, a rare large-scale operation in recent years.

The extremely handsome and flashy young man was none other than Yu Qi, the deputy commander of the White Robe Army!

In this war, the Vanguard Camp took the initiative, eliminating most of the enemies, while the White Robe Army was restrained by Feili and remained inactive. These guys were itching to fight, and as soon as Ning Yue appeared, the White Robe Army fighters surrounded him, requesting to join the battle.

Ning Yue waved his hand, and the White Robe Army fighters immediately quieted down. Ning Yue was not a youth influenced by modern democratic ideals; his authority was paramount, and he was revered like a true god by his subordinates, with no one daring to defy him.

Ning Yue did not explain why he had kept them inactive but directly announced, "You will soon have a new mission. In ten days, all the White Robe Army will advance to the Nine Heavens Realm!"

Ning Yue did not explain what the Nine Heavens Realm was but directly distributed the information about it and instructed Yu Qi to pass it to the White Robe Army headquarters, where Commander Chen Qing would prepare for the entire army's departure.

After gaining control of the Nine Heavens Realm, Ning Yue began preparing to relocate his forces there. However, he was not very familiar with the Nine Heavens Realm, so the vanguard was crucial.

Chen Qing was the most intelligent and brave among his subordinates, and Ning Yue had great confidence in Chen Qing's abilities. Therefore, he planned to mobilize the entire White Robe Army to establish a permanent base in the Nine Heavens Realm.

After the information about the Nine Heavens Realm was distributed, Ning Yue soon received a call from Chen Qing. The voice of this usually steady White Robe Army commander was trembling as he asked in a low tone, "Is this a divine domain?"

Ning Yue smiled slightly and said, "Yes! It's an abandoned divine domain, free from the suppression of the main world and better than the Dark World. It allows one to ascend and become a deity."

Chen Qing fell silent for a moment, then assured Ning Yue, "My White Robe Army can complete all preparations within two days and set out for the Nine Heavens Realm, no need for ten days."

Ning Yue nodded and said nothing more, instructing Chen Qing to begin the preparations for departure.

Ning Yue came to this underground base not only to issue the order for the White Robe Army to set out but also to understand the situation of the war. After sending a command to the liaison officer of the Vanguard Camp, he soon saw the figure of Wu Wenhua, a general of the Vanguard Camp, on the surveillance screen. This burly man, dressed in a black suit and smoking a cigar, complained upon seeing Ning Yue, "What's up with that old man Wugi? Didn't he say he wouldn't interfere? Why is he stopping us from attacking the Justice League? I want to wipe out those bastards, not leaving a single tooth. How dare they offend our boss? I'll cut them all down in a minute."

Ning Yue was at a loss with Wu Wenhua. This guy was too reckless. In terms of strength, Wu Wenhua's personal combat ability was barely in the top twenty among all his subordinates, not even in the top fifteen. But in terms of enthusiasm, daring, and troublemaking, he was the top among all his subordinates.

This time, Ning Yue let Wu Wenhua out to teach the Free City and the Justice League a lesson. He was not afraid of making a big fuss. If he wanted to hold back, he would not have let Wu Wenhua out but would have sent others instead. Even so, Ning Yue still dispatched the White Robe Army to assist the Vanguard Camp, keeping a reserve force.

Ning Yue sighed and said, "Don't call me boss, and don't go around talking about cutting people down. What kind of manners is that?"

Ning Yue did not care about Wugi. He was also one of the "elders" who had entered the Dark World, with achievements far surpassing Wugi and those behind Wugi. However, although the Justice League was rotten to the core, it was still the foundation of the country's power in the main world. If he uprooted the Justice League, the country might change hands in no time. This was something Ning Yue absolutely did not want to see.

Marx said: Capital came into the world, from head to toe, every pore dripping with blood and dirt. In fact, Marx also said something else: politics is even dirtier than capital.

Ning Yue had once thought about contributing to the well-being of the world and the peace of the country, even considering establishing a dynasty himself. But he soon realized that unless he became a person with no底线 (底线 means 'bottom line' or 'principles'), erasing all conscience and acting solely for profit without any personal feelings, he would never be able to interfere in politics.

Under other political systems, especially the democratic systems of later generations, even if he had invincible power, he would still be destroyed by various dirty political enemies. The only system that could ensure his will was implemented was dictatorship, but that would go against Ning Yue's intentions.

Therefore, he had to stop Wu Wenhua and let this matter end for now. Of course, this "end" did not mean stopping everything. Ning Yue just did not want Wu Wenhua to attack the headquarters of the Justice League, but he was not stopping all attacks. The Justice League had not yet given an explanation for this matter, and he would not let it go just like that.

After giving Wu Wenhua a few instructions and understanding the situation of the war, Ning Yue turned off the communicator and began to consider his next move.
