200: Chapter 200: Earth in Peril, Emergency Rescue!

"Three hours..."

Jiang Ning watched the overwhelming swarm of bugs on the holographic screen and the pitifully small Earth fleet, gripping her fists tightly.

Her nails dug deep into her palms, but she felt no pain at all.

A cold fury burned fiercely in her chest.

They had just resolved the trouble in the Great Immortal World, just put Earth and the Immortal-Mortal Realm on the right track, and just caught a glimpse of hope for the future.

And now, this group of unreasonable cosmic locusts had arrived to destroy everything she had?

Why?!

"Old General." Jiang Ning took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down. She knew now was not the time for anger. "I need you to authorize full access to Earth's orbital passage. Also, immediately transfer all non-combat personnel to underground bunkers."

"What are you going to do?" Old General was stunned for a moment.

"What am I going to do?" A flash of madness and determination crossed Jiang Ning's eyes. "Obviously... go back and crush this group of disgusting bugs into pieces!"

"But you are alone..."

"I am not alone."

Jiang Ning turned around abruptly, her gaze sweeping over the people of the Immortal-Mortal Realm below, who were equally shocked and stunned after seeing the images of the starry sky.

She looked at the Qingyun Sect Leader, at Boss Wan, and at those who were once enemies but were now allies.

Her voice, amplified by the loudspeaker array, clearly spread throughout the entire Qingyun Sect and even further beyond.

"Everyone!"

"What you just saw is my hometown, Earth."

"Right now, it is suffering an unprecedented invasion. A group of monsters from the depths of the universe wants to devour my home and kill my compatriots."

Her voice was calm, but everyone could hear the monstrous rage suppressed beneath that calmness.

"Just a day ago, we fought side by side to resist the bullying from the higher realms. We used our strength to tell them that our world would not be violated."

"And today, my world, my home, is in trouble."

Jiang Ning's gaze became incomparably sharp as she scanned everyone.

"Not long ago, we signed the 'Two Realms Fusion' agreement. The agreement states that we will watch out for and help each other, and advance and retreat together. We are allies, partners whose fates are intertwined!"

"Now, I need your help! Earth needs your help!"

"I don't want to preach any grand principles; I only want to ask one thing!"

Jiang Ning's voice suddenly rose, sounding like a thunderclap in everyone's ears.

"My home is about to be torn down! Will you help, or will you not?!"

Silence.

After a brief silence, there was an overwhelming response like a tsunami.

The first to stand up was the Qingyun Sect Leader.

He had completely lost the composure of a sect leader at this moment, his face flushed with excitement. He drew his sword, held it high, and roared with all his might:

"Junior Sister Jiang! No! Ancestor Jiang! Your home is our Qingyun Sect's home! Whoever dares to touch a single hair on Earth must first ask if the swords of the three thousand disciples of our Qingyun Sect agree!"

"Qingyun Sect members, listen to my command! All inner disciples and Golden Core elders, gather at the main peak plaza immediately! Prepare to set out! Defend Earth!"

"Roar!"

Countless rays of sword light shot up into the sky from various peaks of the Qingyun Sect, converging together.

Next was Boss Wan of the Wanbao Pavilion.

With a wave of his hand, hundreds of elite Cultivators from the Wanbao Pavilion behind him simultaneously revealed their magical artifacts.

"My Wanbao Pavilion will live and die with Ancestor Jiang! All supplies and all combat power are at your disposal, Ancestor!"

Even in the distance, at the old site of the Blood Evil Sect which had been transformed into the "Second Industrial Zone," the new puppet Sect Master, after seeing this scene via remote projection, shuddered and scrambled out.

"Quick! Quick! Sound the highest combat alert! Everyone who can still fight, pick up your weapons! Ancestor Jiang's home is in trouble! This is the best opportunity for us to show our loyalty! Whoever dares to slack off, I'll be the first to throw them into the artifact refining furnace!"

For a time, the entire Immortal-Mortal Realm, every sect that had installed the "Spirit Energy Communication Network," was set in motion.

Righteous path, demonic path, merchant guilds... At this moment, they set aside all their differences and grievances, having only one common goal.

Their "god," their "savior," their "provider" — Jiang Ning's home had been attacked!

How could they stand for this?! This made them even angrier than if their ancestral graves had been dug up!

Countless Cultivators, riding flying swords and magical artifacts, converged towards the Qingyun Sect from all directions, like hundreds of rivers returning to the sea.

That scene was a hundred times more spectacular than when they had resisted the Inspector before.

Because this time, they were not passively defending. They were proactively setting out to fight!

Special Envoy Wang and his team watched all of this, dumbfounded.

Looking at those Cultivators flying on swords, filled with killing intent, and listening to the roars of "Defend Earth."

They felt their scalps tingling.

An army... composed of Cultivators, going to defend Earth?

This scene was too magical!

Jiang Ning looked at the passionate faces below and the endless sword light converging, and a warm current welled up in the coldest part of her heart.

She said no more words of thanks. She just waved her hand abruptly, pointing at the huge, blue-glowing cross-realm portal.

"Company Commander Zhang!"

"Here!" Company Commander Zhang was already boiling with excitement. He stood bolt upright, his roar shaking the sky.

"Immediately align the transmission coordinates with Earth! Target: Earth's synchronous orbit, 'Tiangong' Space Station!"

"Order! All members of the Engineer Battalion, equip 'Void Combat Suits'! All spirit energy cannons, move them all onto the transmission platform for me!"

"Order! All allies from the Immortal-Mortal Realm who volunteered to fight, assemble and organize by sect!"

"We are going to form the first in human history —"

Jiang Ning's voice resonated through the sky.

"The 'Immortal-Mortal Expeditionary Force'!"

"Three hours from now, we will not only hold the defensive line!"

"We will also... counterattack!"

"Our goal is —"

She pointed to the deep starry sky and said word by word:

"Break through the wormhole and destroy their nest!"
