Chapter 969:


    Arge army passed in front of the mansion of the Qiantang Sect.


    The armys banner bore a single character: Qi.


    This army was no longer a legion of rabbit-people but a proper army of Big Tang, with ck-haired, yellow-skinned soldiers. These were not mere guards who only knew how to farm radishes; they were resolute, courageous, and unparalleled warriors.


    Moreover, the imperial court had now enlisted the help of the Eighteen Divinations, leveraging their maritime power to strike against the ghost invaders from sea tond.


    Robb knew that when Big Tang was trulymitted to war, they had never been weak. Defeating the ghosts would be a breeze; there was nothing left to worry about on the Tang side.


    He began to pack his things, preparing to return to the Western world.


    There wasnt much to pack, just arge bag of Xuanyuan ck Iron. Once he returned to the West, this material should be renamed Starfall.


    He easily hoisted therge bag containing the ten crafted swords and unused ingots onto his shoulder.


    A group of people came to see him off, bowing in unison: We thank you, foreign hero, for your assistance to our Big Tang. Your great kindness is beyond words. If theres ever a time when you need our help, please dont hesitate to ask.


    This group included both righteous and evil martial artists, a rare asion where both sides showed such respect to a single individual.


    Robb waved, smiling. Just as he was about to use his transmission spell, he noticed a graceful woman with a backpack standing next to him, as if she intended to go with him.


    This woman was Shisu, the Sword of Waves of the Qiantang n, and the most beautiful woman in East Hangzhou.


    Robb was surprised: Miss Shi, what are you doing?


    Shisu replied: Im going with you to the Western world.


    What? Robb asked, Why? Are we at that stage in our rtionship where youd follow me anywhere?


    Shisu rolled her eyes, a gesture that Robb could now understand since she had reverted to her human form. She finally said seriously: You mentioned that the Western world is preparing to deal with the ck Dragon. Although itsir is in the West, it often wreaks havoc in our Big Tang. I represent the righteous sects of Big Tang. Ill go with you to the Western world to see if they are truly preparing to fight the ck Dragon and whether they have a chance of defeating it. If so, Ille back and inform everyone, and then we, the people of Big Tang, will also lend a hand in defeating the ck Dragon.


    Robb nodded: Alright, your reasoning is sound. Lets go together then.


    Respect every force willing to confront the ck Dragon, for it is amon enemy of this world!


    Originally, Robb nned to use a transmission spell, but now that he had to bring another person along, he switched to using a portal instead.


    A purple portal materialized, standing tall in front of everyone.


    The sight left everyone bewildered; such peculiar things didnt exist in the Eastern world, making it difficult for them toprehend. Robb didnt bother exining. He pushed Shisu through the portal and then stepped in himself.


    On the other side was the long-missed Westwind City.


    As soon as they arrived, a loud voice echoed from the hillside: Ah! Godfather is back, and hes brought an Eastern woman with him.


    It turned out that the young girl, Russ, was practicing her swordsmanship on the hillside and was the first to notice the portal.


    Her shout alerted others in the churchLilian, Little Yi, two young nuns of the Light, Suofa, and othersall of whom rushed out. Seeing Robbs return, the women were overjoyed and gathered around him.


    Shisu was taken aback by this scene. She quickly retreated, thinking, Dont these Western women have any sense of restraint?


    Uninterested in watching Robbs warm reunion with a group of women, her gaze wandered around the city. What she saw left her astonished.


    The prosperity of Westwind City was eye-opening. Freight trains filled with goods roared in from the distance, diesel cars carried people along the roads, and the streets were clean and orderly, without a single dirty ditch in sight.


    The city exuded a sense of thriving vitality.


    Her eyes then shifted to the mountain range behind the city. To her surprise, the mountain that served as the citys backdrop featured a massive carving. The carving filled an entire mountain face and was nothing short of spectacr.


    At the center of the carving was the ck Dragon, a menace for a thousand years. In front of it was a hero, intricately and vividly carved. Wasnt it Robb? nking the ck Dragon were countless warriors, attacking with all their might.


    As Shisu stared at the carving, her imagination took over, and she felt as if she were standing in the midst of the battle against the ck Dragon that had once united all of Westwind City.


    Ah, this carving!


    She wanted to turn and ask Robb about it, but he was engrossed in his joyful reunion, leaving her no room to interrupt.


    She thought about asking someone else but realized thenguage barrier would make it awkward.


    Just then, a middle-aged man with yellow skin and ck hair, dressed in traditional robes, walked up to her and greeted her with a fist-and-palm salute. Greetings,dy warrior! My name is Shang Yang. Im a trader from Big Tang who does business with Westwind City along the ancient Tea Horse Road.


    Shisu was delighted to meet a fellow countryman in a foreignnd. She quickly asked, Mr. Shang, may I inquire if this carving is real?


    Shang Yang chuckled, Of course, its real! It depicts the battle that took ce four years ago when the ck Dragon attacked. At that time, I was nning to flee Westwind City with my daughter. But when the ck Dragon arrived, GodfatherRobbsingle-handedly withstood all of its attacks, allowing others to strike it from the sides. Together, we managed to drive the ck Dragon away. This carvingmemorates that very moment.


    Shisu inquired, He really withstood the ck Dragon?


    Shang Yang affirmed, Absolutely, theres no faking the truth. Now, all the nations here are making concerted efforts to prepare for the next appearance of the ck Dragon. They aim to y it before it returns. You see those trains over there? Theyre bringing back supplies specifically prepared for defeating the ck Dragon.


    Shisu found herself reassessing Robb, genuinely astonished by the revtion. She couldnt help but feel invigorated, It seems that ying the ck Dragon is not a mere dream.


    She then took a paper crane from her pocket. This was a message-carrying paper crane given to her by a Taoist priest from Wudang. She whispered a few words to the paper crane and, with a wave of her hand, sent it soaring towards the Eastern world.
