Chapter 1441: Chapter 1441
After the war ended, Du You spent a full two months here. In the meantime, he frequently received tasks to capture traitors and indeed captured a fair number of influenced Professionals.
These people had all directly participated in the battle and were heroes, so it was impossible to kill them all at once.
Besides, Earth’s own military forces were already insufficient; if they kept executing people like that, who would be willing to join the frontline on Earth? Thus, the method for dealing with these people was to capture them.
Whether or not these people could return was not something that concerned Du You.
After two months, all the captives were taken, and the members of the Blood Lotus God Sect were all tried. This world was finally and completely under Earth’s control, and their suspicions were at last fully cleared.
At this time, Earth’s blockade of this world finally ended.
"Let’s go, let’s head back. I didn’t expect the war to last so long. This time we really need to take a good rest."
Du You spoke and at the same time activated the return option, and so did the others. All five people had entered from the academy, so when leaving, they still used the World Boat belonging to the academy.
However, unlike when they had arrived, since secrecy was required, nobody had been informed. This time, as soon as they stepped off, Du You and the others were met with an incredibly warm welcome from countless people, creating a spectacular scene.
It wasn’t just the few of them; other academy staff who had joined the war also appeared outside. At this moment, the whole world was engaged in celebration.
"I really didn’t expect so much time to pass all at once; it’s a bit of a problem now."
"Yes, there are many things that weren’t coordinated in advance, and I don’t know how they’ve turned out by now. The other places are still fine, but those two undisclosed worlds are not in good shape," Lin Yucha said with a hint of frustration.
They had just arrived when their territory initiated a lockdown of the entire world. Before the lockdown, the territory had already fully introduced Earth’s will and taken control of the whole world, then the world’s flow of time began to constantly approach that of Earth’s speed.
This battle had lasted for over five years in that world. Chapters fırst released on 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵✦𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖✦𝙣𝙚𝙩
After returning, Du You discovered that more than a year had passed on his side as well. This he knew from previous discussions which did not significantly impact him; at most, he found that he was now in grade seven. Moreover, grade seven would soon pass, but this had a greater impact on Xi Qianxue and Li Mengyao.
Unlike Du You, who was seldom at the academy, both of them held numerous duties there and were upper-class leaders in the student council. The time they had been away was perhaps too long.
But, as they were serving a greater purpose with the intervention of the academy’s upper class, the impact should be positive.
"We need to go back first and see what’s going on; you guys take care here."
"We’ll go with you," Li Mengyao, not wanting to be parted from Du You, especially now that their relationship was progressing and she was in the throes of love, expressed her reluctance to separate from him even for a moment.
Xi Qianxue held back Li Mengyao and said, "Let them go back first; we still have a lot of student council matters to deal with. Du You must be anxious to check on his territory and company’s situation. Once we’ve handled everything, we can meet up again; we won’t lose much by this little delay." Xi Qianxue was also reluctant to part ways but was better at controlling herself.
After soothing Li Mengyao, Du You finally left temporarily.
On the way, Du You began to learn about what had happened during the past year.
Originally, when they left, an external attack team had also appeared, completely encircling Yellow Sand City, quickly depriving them of any possibility to control Yellow Sand City.
However, the outside world had been waiting, waiting to take down Yellow Sand City after the annihilation of the Blood Lotus God Sect.
What they didn’t expect was for the Blood Lotus Sect Master to be so ruthless, directly transforming the entire Blood Lotus Plateau, which caused the war to enter a stalemate and seemed to have no end in sight.
Due to concerns about prolonged external delays leading to problems, and for the prestige of the various alliances, after unanimous agreement, the forces outside immediately took down Yellow Sand City.
What the Blood Lotus God Sect didn’t anticipate was that their belief in their invincibility would not deter their enemies; they were directly captured, and, without even being detained for trial, were summarily executed, greatly deterring other underworld organizations.
Subsequently, due to the absence of many people, the alliances had no choice but to finally announce the discovery of the Blood Lotus God Sect’s hideout. Those people were also touted as heroes for propaganda purposes, sent to fight on the other side.
And this battle lasted for more than a year. The people outside were always anxious, and even after such a long time, they remained very worried. Moreover, the longer it lasted, the more varied the speculations became.
But now they need not worry anymore; the war had ended, and before Du You emerged, they had already begun to proclaim victory with gusto.
The news of the destruction of the Blood Lotus God Sect was now spreading throughout the world. Nevertheless, some details were concealed, at least the fact that the Blood Lotus Sect Master had escaped was not publicized.
"Heh, if the Blood Lotus Sect Master were annihilated, Earth would not be purging the remnants of the Blood Lotus God Sect right now. But things are different now."
Du You saw news reports of the alliances vigorously purging the remnants of the Blood Lotus God Sect. This time it was not the usual small skirmishes but a full-scale operation. Many hidden Blood Lotus bases were being uprooted, and even some forces that had been secretly in cahoots with the Blood Lotus God Sect suffered.
"It can’t be helped; a tier-seven powerhouse, who has communicated with other worlds, poses too great a threat. If backed by the Blood Lotus God Sect, who knows what kind of issues they could stir up."
"Yucha is right, the Blood Lotus God Sect is no longer just a force used to pressure Professionals into progressing."
"Hey, why talk so much about this? What does it have to do with us? It’s for the upper class of the alliances to worry about, not us," Lin Yushi impatiently voiced her opinion.
"Right, what she said isn’t wrong; it really has nothing to do with us. Okay, our city is up ahead; let’s hurry and see how things are back home."
They were already flying over the City of Islands, the nearest city to the Capital. After a quick greeting, Du You immediately landed. Without wasting words with the others, he went straight to the Yalan Continent.
