Su Changxing stood on the tiled rooftop, turned back to look at the woman who had followed him, and showed a helpless expression:

"Why are you following me? I didn’t provoke you!"

The woman exuded a sense of unreasonable entitlement and said justifiably, "Then why are you running? Isn’t that a guilty conscience of a thief?"

Su Changxing laughed in exasperation and said, "What I do is my freedom. What’s it to you? Does your shop do forced buying and selling? It doesn’t seem very reputable."

Upon hearing this, the woman became even angrier, gritting her teeth she said, "Not reputable? Tell me, what’s not reputable about it? I’ve been in business for so many years, and no one has dared to say Shansan is not reputable."

Good grief, she’s a local tyrant.

Su Changxing couldn’t be bothered to run anymore, stopped in his tracks, turned to face her, and flashed a sinister smile, "Well, if you’re reputable, why are you following me, just a man and a woman? That’s not very appropriate, is it~"

To the woman, he looked lecherous, no different from those lewd men.

She instantly felt something was wrong, looked around, found no one, remembered that some would commit unspeakable acts even at risk of punishment, and was instantly terrified.

She turned around and fled without hesitation, leaving no trace at all.

OK.

Su Changxing put away his expression, thinking that such women are the most troublesome, Jin is better, at least obedient and not troublesome.

...

With the explosion, brilliant flames spread through the city, accompanied by shockwaves, and scattered debris flew.

Jin strode out from the flames, glanced around, chewing on a piece of bubblegum, blew a pink bubble, as if sensing something, looked back, and revealed a dramatic smile, "Looking for death, huh!"

She waved her hand, and a small pink Gatling appeared in her hand, quickly rotating.

With the sound of intensive gunfire, bullets rained down, and people who had escaped from the explosion on the street fell one after another.

After taking care of everything, she stepped back two steps, snapped her fingers, and a series of explosions spread through the nearby streets.

"Isn’t that about enough?"

She looked at the scene before her, showing a thoughtful expression, and suddenly sneezed for no apparent reason.

This was the forward position of the Chenxi Army, equipped with numerous heavy weapons and a well-organized army.

Her mission was to destroy it opportunistically, meaning to blow up everything here when no one was around.

The "people" here did not refer to ordinary people, but powerful Extraordinary individuals.

She didn’t linger much, turned around, and ran, her escape route looking like a headless fly buzzing around randomly, yet no one could catch her.

Here, no living person has seen her true appearance face-to-face.

...

After driving away the Wizards, the fighting did not cease, instead, it intensified.

Shortly after Su Changxing left, National Council members were repeatedly assassinated, and internally it began to split into three major factions and seven or eight smaller factions.

The Security Bureau, Doomsday Cult, Chenxi, National Council, and various emerging forces plunged this dark land into a chaotic conflict.

The only thing the Resurgence of Power brought was chaos. Without the threat of foreign enemies, they naturally initiated a civil war.

The war’s ferocity exceeded that of the time when Wizards were around.

Moreover, this war quickly spread from the Donglin Region to the entire nation, and then to the entire world.

The Security Bureau, due to the sudden disappearance of the Commander, fell into a paralyzed state without anyone to lead them.

The National Security Council was also preoccupied with its problems and couldn’t influence matters here.

The Security Bureau, spread across the nation, due to the gradual growth of each team, began to disintegrate; some leaders listened to orders but not commands, others occupied a city, establishing themselves as kings.

However, these kings were not secure, as they could be overthrown at any moment.

The world was constantly changing, with many powerful Extraordinary individuals emerging one after another.

However, Team 17, with numerous powerful Extraordinary individuals, kept the situation in the Donglin Region stable, remaining dominant.

Upon the suggestion of many people, Zhou An led Team 17 to declare independence and expanded their influence to the surrounding areas.

This action received criticism from many forces, not because Team 17 committed any heinous acts, but because they feared Team 17’s excessive strength.

It’s important to note that Team 17 captured Donglin City, which was under Wizard control, despite heavy casualties, their strength became even more formidable after recuperating.

Six months into the conflict, Chenxi inexplicably declared war on Team 17 and only on them.

At the time, the Security Bureau was already fragmented, with each division chief maintaining neutrality, observing from the sidelines; other forces roughly did the same.

Team 17 was too powerful, unsettlingly so, and they gladly watched the situation unfold.

Chenxi was a remarkable organization. Even after the Security Bureau’s disintegration, they maintained unified coordination, functioning as a cohesive whole.

In the prelude to war, everyone was probing each other, both sides giving as well as they received; only as it progressed, Team 17 fought increasingly fiercely, adopting a strategy of ’feeding war with war.’

Latterly, Chenxi was suppressed by Team 17, trampled over; during this process, other Apocalypse members appeared, finally changing the situation.

The night before.

Zhou An, single-handedly, severely injured and routed two Apocalypse members from Chenxi, leading forces to breach Chenxi’s third camp, leaving corpses piled up and rivers of blood.

This earned him the title of the "Decaying Sword Immortal."

However, such formidable strength didn’t halt the war; instead, it incited many forces to support Chenxi, particularly the three factions of the National Council.

There was a distinct odor in this situation.

Pressed by war, the major forces above contested with each other, while those below fought amongst themselves, seizing all kinds of resources, including advancements, Mysterious Items, positions, etc.

During this period, many special shops emerged, selling high-tier positions and unique items, greatly enhancing one’s strength.

Consequently, a large number of Tier Eight Extraordinary individuals emerged, and even Tier Seven Extraordinary individuals appeared.

At present, Zhou An was a Tier Seven Extraordinary, but his combat strength was formidable, unmatched by others of the same tier.

In contrast, Zhu Wenwu seemed to have vanished, never appearing in public.

...

The war between the Wizard World and the Black Fog World continued because with numerous Great Wizards suddenly perishing, the war, originally lopsided, gradually returned to a balanced state.

Both sides were at an impasse, persisting with gritted teeth, investing all resources into the fight, sending everyone available to the battlefield.

During this period, another Wizard King fell, a Dark Wizard.

However, the Black Fog World didn’t fare well; apart from the Sun Lord, three lords also perished.

Additionally, in a subsequent massive battle, the eminent Sun Lord had his arm severed by the joint effort of three Wizard Kings, leaving him severely weakened.
