Chapter 0769 The True Identity Appears

If this wand is truly responsive, if it is a call from the original owner of the wand, then all previous speculations about the true identity of Lord Binghai not being dead have basically been proven.
This staff, under the control of Han Jingjing before, also generated a strong resonance as if it merged into one.
Therefore, Jiang Yue must confirm whether Han Jingjing is summoning this staff.
If Han Jingjing summons the magic wand, then he nervously becomes a big mistake.
Han Jingjing saw Jiang Yue rushing over in a hurry and listened to Jiang Yue's inquiry.
Han Jingjing shook her head in confusion: "I have been resting and did not summon it. Can you really sense the movement of the magic wand?"
She was speaking, and the wand was slightly trembling again. The brilliant blue gem on the top of the wand, shining like the vast sea of stars, flickered quickly between light and dark.
Looking at this situation, it is obvious that someone is summoning this wand and sensing its location.
This time, Han Jingjing didn't need to ask in detail and understood at a glance.
She didn't hesitate either, grabbing the staff with one hand. Powerful mental energy flowed into the staff, establishing a rapid connection.
With the wand falling into Han Jingjing's hands, it became as agitated as a pet, but instantly became docile when embraced by its owner.
Jiang Yue couldn't help but laugh and cry when witnessing this scene.
"It seems a bit fickle, doesn't it? I can't quite figure out whether it's closer to the Ice Sea Lord or to you."
Han Jingjing rolled her eyes and said impatiently, "What kind of talk is that? It's an uncut gemstone, and neither I nor its previous owner have fully mastered it yet. We're trying to control it, and it's also evaluating us, trying to determine who is the most suitable owner."
"Is it really that amazing? So, can you communicate smoothly with it?"
"Of course." Han Jingjing raised her chin with some pride,"Jiang Yue, don't underestimate me."
"I dare not, I dare not. Miss Han is much braver than I imagined. She dared to fight against Lord Binghai and the Stone Man all by herself."
Han Jingjing gave him a glance, "You have the nerve to say that. It was all your instigation! I really did it with a straight face."
"Well done, well executed. If it weren't for catching them off guard, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to make my move in secret."
"Jiang Yue also had to admit that in that battle, Han Jingjing attracted the majority of attention. It can be said that she made a significant contribution."
Jiang Yue didn't dare to claim how confident he was when facing those two opponents.
Especially when facing the terrifying combat power of the Stone Man, it would probably be difficult for Jiang Yue to break through his defenses in a direct confrontation.
Given the circumstances at the time, if he hadn't exerted all his efforts to kill that "Master of the Frozen Sea," affecting the Stone Man's emotions, while at the same time, that Restraining Spirit Talisman limited the Stone Man's mobility, it's really hard to say who would have won that battle.
Han Jingjing naturally felt very pleased when she heard Jiang Yue praising her.
She smiled and said, "Even if I am more beautiful, I am afraid I still can't compare to your classmate Lin, right?"
It can be seen that Han Jingjing still has some grudges against Jiang Yue for leaving with Lin Yifei in the daytime without her knowledge.
Jiang Yue did not know how to respond to this, so he pretended to be confused and smiled, changing the subject: "Jing Jing, this staff is probably very important to Lord Binghai. He should be using it to locate me. Maybe he has already come to find me."
"Well then. Let's see who is more suitable, him or me." Han Jingjing's beautiful eyes were filled with strong confidence.
It's evident that these consecutive battles have greatly boosted her confidence, giving her the belief that she can compete with the original owner of the staff.
Perhaps, the Ice Sea Lord is really powerful.
But the moment Han Jingjing touched the wand, her body seemed like a treasure being unlocked. The awakened innate power made her have a whole new understanding of herself.
This is not only an improvement in strength, but also a reshaping of confidence.
This confidence makes her feel qualified to compete with all the geniuses in the world.
Jiang Yue is naturally delighted to see Han Jingjing's confidence.
If this staff can really be used by Han Jingjing, it will be a huge advantage.
This advantage is not only for the battle against Binghai, but also for a series of subsequent actions. A powerful Han Jingjing will definitely be helpful to the situation in Star City.
From a personal relationship perspective, Han Jingjing's strength is a good thing for governing a family, as well as for the career of the governing official.
……
In a building located a few kilometers outside Yangfan Middle School.
The Venomous Insect Protector and the Night Eagle Protector both knelt down on the ground.
At the end of their prostration stood a man, tall and slender, with his back facing them, exuding a chilling aura that sent shivers down one's spine.
This person is probably less than thirty years old. If it weren't for the chilling aura all over his body, he would definitely be a first-rate handsome gentleman in the world with his appearance.
"Apologies, Lord Binghai!"
"I am incompetent! I have let down your deep affection, my lord."
The Poison Bug Protector and the Night Hawk Protector both trembled with guilt, bowing low before this man.
Because, this is the true form of Lord Binghai.
Without a cloak to shield his body, without a staff in his hand.
That powerful aura, however, is more convincing than anything else.
"Tell me, how did this happen? How did it come to this?" the young man's tone was cold.
"Sir, the situation at the time was a bit complicated..." Poison Worm stuttered as he recounted what he had witnessed. Of course, he made sure to embellish certain details and omit anything that painted him in a negative light. He certainly wouldn't mention that he had deserted or that he had failed to save the Stone Man.
He said that the shadow protector fell for the enemy's plan, causing everyone's power to be dispersed and being defeated one by one.
Naturally, Night Hawk agrees with this statement.
Although Night Hawk knows that Poison Bug is a shameful deserter, he naturally has no reason to expose it. After all, Night Hawk's true position now is also a rebel.
Reveal the drug bug, there is no benefit to him.
"So, you guys only left for such a short time, and both Rockman and Shadow Guardian were broken by the opponent?" Lord Binghai seems to find all this difficult to believe.
"Adult, indeed. That man and woman do have some abilities. Moreover, that woman, she can actually manipulate your staff, sir. The stone guardian was frozen by the icy power shot out from the staff."
Ice Master's face was dark and solemn.
The staff was one of his symbols, and in order to make the Shadow Guardian look more like him, he temporarily bestowed the staff to the Shadow Guardian.
In the end, the mission was not accomplished and our lives were lost, with the staff falling into the hands of the enemy.
What's more, that woman was able to control the staff, which made Lord Binghai feel a strong sense of crisis.
He knew very well that the wand was an abyss, and even though he was its original owner, he couldn't fully master it and never managed to establish that intimate bond.
He knew it was the wand's reservation.
A powerful tool, equally demanding when it comes to the choices of its master.
Lord Ice Sea is confident that given enough time, he can fully master that wand.
But who could have predicted that the staff would be lost at this critical moment.
This is really a matter of life and death.
At this moment, Lord Binghai's heart is actually burning with anger.
He is furious at these trusted subordinates for not performing well at a crucial moment.
Especially the Shadow Guardian, whom he has always trusted the most. In many situations, he would have him act as his surrogate and he has managed to solve many troubles for him.
Why did he become so careless this time and end up in a mess?
There is also the Stone Man, who possesses such immense combat power that even his immediate superior, can't be confident of winning against him.
Yet, he was slain by someone?
How did the opponent manage to do that?
On the contrary, while Silver Ape was killed, Lord Ice Sea didn't find it so unacceptable.
After all, Silver Ape's way of fighting was too singular, so it's understandable that he would suffer when facing a powerful opponent.
Binghai slowly turned around and looked at the only two remaining guardians, feeling quite annoyed.
Among the Shadow Guardian and the four other guardians, the two that survived happened to be the ones he disliked the most.
From the perspective of Lord Ice Sea, Shadow Guardian is stable, Stone Man is reliable, and Silver Ape is loyal. All three can be considered as confidants.
However, Venomous Insect is cunning and treacherous, while Night Hawk is cowardly and fickle. They are not trustworthy in critical moments.
But unfortunately, the three most trustworthy ones have all died.
There are two left that he doesn't trust much, and using them or not using them is the same to him.
With his abilities, he can certainly summon more monstrous creatures from elsewhere to fight on his behalf, like giants, undead, and various other monsters.
Monsters, even though they can be commanded, ultimately lack the subjective agency that humans possess.
To put it bluntly, most monsters are not very smart.
Therefore, no matter how biased Ice Sea is against these two individuals, they can only continue to be used with a nose held.
"Yeying, according to your intelligence, are Jiang Yue and his girlfriend still in Yangfan High School at this moment?"
"I can guarantee one hundred percent. They have no reason to leave before dawn." Yeying answered honestly.
Although he has already joined Jiang Yue as one of his subordinates, he has no reason to lie about this issue.
He also keeps in mind his mission, which is to let Master Binghai meet Jiang Yue as soon as possible.
Wang will eventually collide with Wang. It's better to do it sooner rather than later.
Whichever side wins, it will belong to that side.
"Venomous worm, if I send you as the vanguard, how confident are you in poisoning all of Yangfan Middle School from top to bottom?"
The poisonous insect hesitated for a while and said, "It's easy to deal with others, but that guy named Jiang Yue is really eerie. I don't know if my poison technique can be effective on him. This person's strength is unfathomable, I'm afraid that except for you personally, Master, the rest of us guardians will not be able to suppress him."
This guy is very slick, he doesn't admit that he's afraid of battle. He only praises Jiang Yue highly, while at the same time praising Binghai highly.
This is a showdown between your big shots, us little brothers are only qualified to lend a helping hand.
The meaning behind the words is quite obvious.
If Lord Binghai sent me to be the vanguard, it means he wants me to be a cannon fodder. I have no guarantee of winning. If you truly want to seek revenge from the other side, you should personally take action.
These implied meanings, how could Lord Binghai not understand?
Coldly sneering: "If that's the case, wouldn't it be impossible for me not to personally take action?"
The venomous insect hurriedly said: "It would be best to mobilize a large number of evil creatures to surround the entire school first. Then, trap him like a turtle in a jar, and Lord Binghai can personally take action, leaving no chance for that brat to be arrogant. If the three of us rashly enter again, what if these guys set some traps? We won't be able to defend against them."
"Night Eagle, what do you think?" Lord Binghai asked calmly.
"I...I listen to Lord Binghai. It's not long until dawn, and it probably won't be easy to mobilize the demonic creatures. Plus, manpower is scarce tonight in various places, so it would be quite difficult to mobilize demonic forces. Most importantly, even if we succeed in mobilizing them, there's not much time left until dawn, and it's unlikely that we can achieve anything significant."
The Poison Bug sneered, "Night Eagle? What do you mean? Do you think we can just kill our way through without the cover of monster evil spirits?"
"I didn't mean that, don't interpret it wrongly."
The venomous insect said in a weird voice, "You were ordered to exterminate the survivors of Yangfan Middle School with the Silver Ape before. After all the fuss, not only did you fail to kill any of them and got the Silver Ape killed, but now you want to incite Lord Ice Sea to take risks personally. What are your intentions?"
Night Eagle's heart skipped a beat, wondering if this damn thing had psychic abilities. It was talking nonsense but surprisingly accurate.
He knew that the poisonous snake would bite randomly, yet he still felt a bit guilty after being spoken to like that.
Thank goodness his acting skills are superb, otherwise he might have revealed his true colors right on the spot.
"You despicable creature, how can you still be bickering at a time like this? I won't argue with you. As I've said before, we must listen to the superior's arrangements. I'm just worried that if that wand falls into that woman's hands and she gains control over it, we will be even more passive. The immediate priority, no matter what, is to retrieve the wand. The wand must belong to the superior, and no one else should even think about laying a finger on it!"
Nighthawk's words struck a chord in the heart of Lord Ice Sea.
"Nighthawk is right. The staff must never fall into the hands of these despicable people, tarnishing the sacred aura of the staff," Lord Ice Sea said coldly.
Speaking, Lord Ice Sea looked at the sky and murmured, "However, the opportunity for a battle tonight has passed. I speculate that the other side should be prepared and waiting for us to come knocking on the door. At this time, rushing over recklessly may not give us much advantage."
Toxic Bug hurriedly said, "Sir, you're wise. It's possible that the other party took away the staff as a trap."
Night Eagle hastened to say, "That's impossible! From their perspective, they have already successfully killed Ice Sea, Stone Man, and Silver Ape. They must believe that they have defeated our group. It is impossible for them to know that the real Ice Sea is still here. If we talk about their defense, I believe it. But what they are prepared for is probably the Giant or the Skeleton Monster. It would never be Ice Sea."
Lord Binghai nodded slowly: "You all make valid points. My decision is made. We will suspend operation tonight."
"We will wait for dawn. They must believe that the dawn is breaking, the crisis is over, and their vigilance will relax. They will be in a state of exhaustion. Perhaps then, it will be the most opportune moment for an attack!"
As Lord Binghai spoke, his eyes shone with brilliance.
