Chapter 1712 Huge Changes!

Han Yue stood quietly in place, her silver hair and white clothes making her look like a statue under the moon.

He simply stared at Ye Chuyun, whose figure was gradually disappearing in the golden light, his focused gaze as if he wanted to devour him alive.

"You'll regret this," Han Yue whispered, her voice reaching Ye Chuyun's ears as she was about to disappear.

"The council has already obtained the coordinates of the Blue Star Region."

Cherish this brief peace.

The golden light completely engulfed Ye Chuyun's figure, and the next second he completely disappeared from the main hall of the Golden Temple.

.....

Ye Chuyun looked around and found herself standing in the Star Moon Alliance's base.

Finally, I'm back in a familiar place.

My nerves, which had been tense for so long, finally relaxed a little at this moment.

But Ye Chuyun kept Han Yue's words in mind.

Alas, it seems that new troubles are inevitable.

"Alliance Leader Ye, you're finally back!" The patrolling guards nearby were the first to spot him and immediately shouted with joy.

Soon after receiving the news, Shen Nuo rushed over.

When she saw that Ye Chuyun's face was pale, his robes were stained with blood, and his breathing was obviously unsteady, she immediately became worried.

"Alliance Leader Ye, what's going on here..." Shen Nuo looked him up and down, somewhat surprised.

"Is the world beyond the portal really this dangerous?"

Even someone as strong as Ye Chuyun got injured?

"It's nothing, I just used up a lot of energy and ran into some trouble." Ye Chuyun waved his hand, not going into details about the life-and-death battle in the Golden Temple and the entanglement with the Abyss Shadow Council, as that was too early for the Blue Star Domain at present.

"How's it going on your end? What's the situation on the other side of the portal?"

Upon hearing the mention of the portal, Shen Nuo temporarily suppressed her surprise and doubt, and a look of gratitude appeared on her face.

"Thanks to the help sent by Vice Alliance Leader Qian," Shen Nuo reported quickly while leading Ye Chuyun.

“An Qiaoqian’s assistant is exceptionally capable. The helpers she brought are highly efficient. They not only fully activated the teleportation array but also set up multiple layers of defense around it.”

"According to the agreement, we are responsible for the venue, coordination and revenue management, while Weiyang is responsible for maintenance."

She paused, her tone slightly helpless: "Vice Alliance Leader Qian also sent two special advisors to oversee things, Hongbao and Ye Mingyu."

Upon hearing this, Ye Chuyun's lips twitched almost imperceptibly.

Sure enough, Qian Duoduo threw these two "troublemakers" over to her.

"They didn't cause any trouble, did they?"

"It's alright for now." Shen Nuo's smile deepened.

"Your Excellency Hongbao's control over fire is extremely exquisite and has been of great help. However, your enthusiasm was a bit too much, and you almost set the temporary warehouse on fire."

"Lord Ye Mingyu is elusive and unpredictable, making him a master of reconnaissance and counter-infiltration. However, he often appears suddenly behind people, which has frightened several timid members to the point of fainting."

“I placed them in a relatively independent area and asked them to be primarily responsible for perimeter early warning.”

Ye Chuyun nodded; this was already the best-case scenario.

As the two were talking, they arrived at the expanded square.

Using the makeshift teleportation array, Ye Chuyun returned to the mountain wall, the teleportation portal still active.

However, Ye Chuyun's attention was not on the teleportation portal at this moment.

He looked around in surprise.

"Holy crap, how could it have changed so much in such a short time?"

Huge changes have also taken place here.

The open area in front of the entire mountain wall has been transformed and paved with tiles. The surface of the tiles is engraved with a series of energy runes. These energy runes are interconnected, forming a weak energy field that covers the entire stronghold.

This energy field serves multiple purposes: hardening the ground, warning of intrusion, and weakly absorbing energy. It is self-sufficient, requires no recharging, and is always active.

The outpost is a semi-circle surrounding the portal at the foot of the mountain, backed by a natural barrier and facing the wilderness.

The mountainside itself has also been cleverly transformed.

The originally bare rock surface was imprinted with the emblem.

On the left is the sword and shield cross symbol of Weiyang, and on the right is the crescent moon and star pattern of the Star Moon Alliance.

The portal is embedded in the center of the mountain wall, with two energy conduction pillars, each ten meters high, standing on either side of the portal. These pillars provide a stable energy source for the portal and also emit a bright light, illuminating the originally dark mountain wall as if it were daytime.

The open space in front of the portal has been expanded three times, with entrance and exit channels and waiting areas divided into them.

Guiding arrows and queue lines were marked on the ground with luminous paint.

Four guardian golems, each over three meters tall, stood silently at the four corners of the portal.

This was created by engineers and blacksmiths together; it is a recently completed invention.

Composed of alloys and special stones, they carry out guard duties, their ruby-like eyes slowly scanning the area, radiating energy fluctuations equivalent to the fifth rank.

This new invention is still in the experimental stage, so it can only issue simple commands, such as checking the door.

Further out, there are eight more watchtowers arranged in a ring, with rotating multifaceted crystals suspended atop them, releasing invisible ripples.

A translucent, pale gold protective barrier appeared and disappeared intermittently, enveloping the entire mountain wall.

Occasionally, the emblems of Weiyang and Xingyue would flash across the barrier.

In addition, there are several other clearly defined areas.

Dozens of temporary rest camps are neatly arranged in the eastern area, where a small squad of guards patrols, trains, or rests.

There are weapons maintenance stations and makeshift first aid stations on the edge of the camp.

The West District is the most bustling, providing space for those who want to set up stalls and sell their wares; they just need to collect stall fees.

The South Zone is the command and administration area, where explorers need to sign a waiver, pay fees, and obtain a temporary pass.

The temporary rest area in the North District is equipped with public benches, clean water, and several recuperation cabins. The recuperation cabins are available for a fee and can help accelerate the recovery of minor injuries and physical strength.

An "Emergency Isolation Zone" is clearly marked off at the edge to prevent the smuggling of unknown dangerous pollutants or infected individuals from the ruins.

The base was bustling with people, yet orderly.

The engineers at the Weiyang base were using tablet-like devices to check the operational status of various facilities; the Star Moon Alliance personnel were busy at the registration point; and the Joint Guard patrolled meticulously, their eyes alert.

An Qiaoqian was walking out of the command post with a report in her hand. When she saw Ye Chuyun and Shen Nuo, she quickly walked forward.

"Alliance leader!"

"Thank you for your hard work." Ye Chuyun nodded.

An Qiaoqian was one of the key personnel he recruited early on. She was calm, meticulous, and had strong execution skills. She shared a lot of work with Qian Duoduo.

Qian Duoduo was too busy to spare any time, so sending her to assist Shen Nuo was the most suitable choice.

"It's my duty," An Qiaoqian replied succinctly, then added, "All parameters of the teleportation portal have met the standards, and the temporary defensive array can withstand continuous attacks from a Heavenly-level expert. Everything is normal at the moment."
