Chapter 1217: Chapter 1227: Gao’an’s Sister Is in Trouble! “Then I’ll just have to complete the mission within a month!” Tang Zhong said. Beside him, Jiang Shuiyao looked at Tang Zhong as if he were a lunatic! How many missions can one complete in a month? If it were that easy, everyone would have taken on missions by now. Jiang Shuiyao didn’t say anything else. She had always wanted to recruit Tang Zhong into their Fire Guard. She knew Tang Zhong was probably very upset now. Saying too much wouldn’t help, so it was better not to say anything at all. She believed that Tang Zhong could definitely defeat someone like Nan Huo, but it would take time—half a day at the very least! The spaceship flew on ! Very soon, they arrived at the square where they had departed earlier. The injured soldiers were all there, and the Galactic Guard had already taken the soldiers to the hospital! A series of flying ambulances came to take people away! Among the crowd, Liu Tiansheng looked at the two injured Earth Guard soldiers: “You said a beam of Jin Guang saved you?” “Yes, Commander!” the soldier replied. The people nearby, who seemed to be from the Gold Guard, chimed in: “We were saved by Jin Guang as well!” Liu Tiansheng, hearing this, began to ponder, saying to the nearby Wood Guard Commander, “But we didn’t see any Jin Guang appear?” “Indeed!” the Wood Guard Commander nodded. Tang Zhong and Jiang Shuiyao walked over. Liu Tiansheng quickly stepped forward, showing concern: “Are you okay?” “I’m fine. How is Liu Tian?” Tang Zhong was most worried about Liu Tian. If something happened to Liu Tian, that would be terrible! “Tian’er is fine, she’s already been taken to the hospital. Her injuries aren’t particularly severe, so don’t worry. Are you alright?” Liu Tiansheng said. Hearing that Liu Tian was alright, Tang Zhong let out a long sigh of relief and said, “I’m okay too. I was about to die, but then a strong Jin Guang suddenly appeared and saved me!” “Did you see clearly what the Jin Guang strongman looked like?” Liu Tiansheng immediately asked. “I didn’t see clearly, why do you ask, Commander?” Tang Zhong feigned ignorance as he asked. “This time, all of you were saved by that person. We’ve been trying to figure out who that person is. Are they good or evil?” Liu Tiansheng said. “To save us, they must be a good person. Also, Commander, how did these demon beasts become so strong? I thought the demon beasts you chose for this trial were within our capabilities; otherwise, you wouldn’t have risked letting us challenge them. But I found those demon beasts to be incredibly strong!” Tang Zhong said, trying to shift the topic away from the Jin Guang figure. “There’s no problem with the demon beasts; they were just drugged with a concoction called Frenzy Powder that makes them berserk!” Liu Tiansheng said. “Have you found out who drugged them?” Tang Zhong continued to ask. “The Hell Skeleton Soldier Legion!” Liu Tiansheng said. “Why is it them again?” Tang Zhong said. “It’s indeed odd. The Hell Skeleton Soldiers usually don’t dare to come to the territory of the Galactic Guard. Recently, I’ve heard from informants in the city that the Hell Skeleton Soldiers have been spotted multiple times already!” Liu Tiansheng said. Others might not know why, but Tang Zhong definitely did. It was surely because of the Blood Essence. It seems those Hell Skeleton Soldiers have guessed that the Blood Essence was taken by someone from the Galactic Guard, but they didn’t know who, so they plan to eradicate everyone! If I didn’t have the Giant Dragon Avatar as a last resort, perhaps I would have died with so many berserk demon beasts attacking all at once! “I see!” Tang Zhong said. “Alright, the important thing is you’ve been saved. Head back now!” Liu Tiansheng said. Tang Zhong nodded. He had one more thing to do and took out an eye of the Amethyst Demonic Blood Python: “Commander Liu, here’s the eye of that python!” Liu Tiansheng glanced down and was taken aback: “Did you kill that python?” “I didn’t kill it; it was likely the Jin Guang that killed it. When I got there, I saw the python and took its eye!” Tang Zhong said. “I see. Since you have the eye, you are the winner of this competition. Hand me the eye, and I’ll get that Sword Technique for you later!” Liu Tiansheng said. Tang Zhong handed over the eye and then said, “Commander, I’ll take off now!” He then turned and left. Jiang Shuiyao also bid farewell to Tang Zhong: “See you next time, hopefully with you having the thought of joining our Fire Guard!” “That thought… probably won’t happen!” Tang Zhong said with a laugh. “I don’t believe that!” Jiang Shuiyao laughed. “Alright, enough said!” Fire Guard members came to pick her up, and soon she boarded their spaceship! Tang Zhong laughed. In this trial, he was surely the biggest winner, but there was something, that curse word, that he kept hidden in his heart and would never erase. Nan Huo, this name he remembered. Once he joined the Inner Guards, he’d ensure to make that guy look bad! For now, it’s best to head back first! Upon returning to the dormitory, Gao’an was there waiting, pacing back and forth. He had heard about the trouble at the trial site and was worried about Tang Zhong. Seeing Tang Zhong unharmed, he was overjoyed and quickly said: “You’re back!” “Yes!” Tang Zhong replied. “You weren’t injured, were you?” Gao’an asked. “No, I heard many people got injured. It’s truly great that you weren’t!” Gao’an laughed. This genuine concern, Tang Zhong would never forget. “Come on, I’ll treat you to dinner!” Tang Zhong said. “Alright!” Gao’an responded, excited. The two went to the tavern again, ordering much food this time. Gao’an raised his glass with a toast: “Congratulations to my brother for returning safely this time. Cheers!” “Cheers!” Tang Zhong also laughed. Having a good friend like Gao’an was surely a fortune for life! But then, Gao’an’s communication device buzzed. Gao’an answered it, and immediately his face darkened: “What did you say?” “I understand, I’m coming back now!” A worried expression on his face, Gao’an looked at Tang Zhong: “Brother, you carry on eating, I need to take leave and return home!” “Has something happened?” Tang Zhong asked. “My sister is missing, and my family is frantically searching for her!” Gao’an said. “I have to go and check. I only have that one sister!” “I’ll go with you!” Tang Zhong said. “You… better not. I can handle it alone,” Gao’an said, not wanting to waste Tang Zhong’s time. “It’s better with an extra person. Let’s go together!” Tang Zhong said again. “Alright!” Gao’an nodded. The two left some money on the table and immediately exited the tavern, returned to the Divine Guards to take leave, and headed home right away!
