Su Yuan took Antonios and quickly headed towards Storm City, the headquarters of the Storm Alliance, with Jing Chenghui.
Storm City, a large city by the sea.
Although most of the Western Desert is vast and sparsely populated, incomparable in terms of population density to countries like Huo Luo and Great Flame.
But as the base of the top five forces of the Sea Gang, Storm City is undeniably much more lively.
Tall buildings stand tall in the city, with houses closely packed together.
On the sea, as far as the eye can see, are star energy ships of various sizes, most of which bear the Storm Alliance’s emblem.
Jing Chenghui brought Su Yuan and Antonios directly to a spacious building in the center of Storm City.
Here is precisely the headquarters of the Storm Alliance.
Before the rugged-styled room, a group of people were already guarding the door outside.
Among them, two people exuded a strong presence, quite eye-catching.
One was an old man with a harsh face, looking even older than Li Su.
The other was a stern-looking man with blue hair, exuding a faint cold aura, causing others to unconsciously distance themselves from him.
The old man’s name was Yuan Shan, a veteran figure of the Storm Alliance, who had been following Xu Hengjiang even before he broke through to Burning Sun.
The stern man was named Teng Jinghua, whose reputation was quite significant.
It is said that during a sea beast siege on the city three years ago, Teng Jinghua froze a hundred-mile sea area, slaying star beasts, earning him great fame and the nickname "Baili Binghe" or "Hundred-mile Ice River."
In the eyes of the Sea Gang, his strength even rivals that of the Twelve Fierce Moons!
In the Western Desert, the Twelve Evil Stars and the Twelve Fierce Moons are selected through the "Western Desert Championship" organized by first-class forces like the Fire God Alliance and Red Sun Sect as part of the Central Alliance.
The Evil Star Tournament occurs every three years, while the Fierce Moon Tournament every five years.
If during this process, someone challenges and kills one of them, they can take over their position.
As long as it is an Evil Star or a Fierce Moon, they have a chance to join any force of the Central Alliance.
Besides this, they also receive rewards given by the Central Alliance, and their names resound throughout the Western Desert!
However, experts are among the people, and not everyone yearns for first-class forces or fame in the Western Desert.
Since coming to Storm City five years ago, Teng Jinghua has never left since.
At this moment, Jing Chenghui brought Su Yuan and Antonios over, immediately attracting everyone’s attention.
Yuan Shan scrutinized Su Yuan and Antonios, raising an eyebrow upon seeing Antonios.
"Jing Chenghui, is this the healer you mentioned, why is he a Northerner!" Yuan Shan shouted in a low voice.
Not only Yuan Shan, but the rest also cast wary glances.
Jing Chenghui frowned, "Branch Master Yuan, Mr. An is indeed a Northerner. But if it weren’t for him, those dozens of poisoned brothers wouldn’t have lasted until now!
Among them are seven or eight from under your command. Mr. An, out of kindness, helped treat them, and yet you’re not grateful, instead choosing to question him?"
"So he was the one who treated them..."
The crowd realized, and their expressions towards Antonios softened a bit.
Teng Jinghua stepped forward, clasped his fists towards Antonios, and said, "Thank you."
Jing Chenghui explained to Antonios, "Among those dozens of people, more than ten are under Branch Master Teng’s command."
Antonios understood, ceremoniously returning the gesture with a smile, "You’re welcome."
Seeing this, Yuan Shan couldn’t say much more, just coldly said, "Then let him in and take a look. If he dares to do anything to the Alliance Leader... hmph, don’t blame me for being impolite!"
Jing Chenghui frowned at Yuan Shan but could only be polite due to the latter’s high seniority, and said to Su Yuan and Antonios, "Master Su, Mr. An, please follow me in!"
"Alright."
Su Yuan chuckled nonchalantly and followed Jing Chenghui into the room.
Yuan Shan and Teng Jinghua also followed in.
Inside the room, a rugged-faced man was half-reclining in the hall, his face pale, skin dark, his demeanor extremely weak, appearing to be critically ill.
Xu Hengjiang didn’t even look, weakly saying, "Brought people... again?"
"Alliance Leader!" Jing Chenghui anxiously approached upon seeing Xu Hengjiang’s condition, "Alliance Leader, how are you?"
Xu Hengjiang managed a difficult grin, slowly saying, "Don’t worry, I won’t die... I’ve already said, finding healers is useless... the previous four healers couldn’t do anything."
Jing Chenghui said, "Alliance Leader, this time it’s different, I’ve seen Mr. An’s Healing Skill before, it’s quite extraordinary, let’s try again!"
Xu Hengjiang glanced twice at Antonios, then his gaze fell on Su Yuan, discovering he couldn’t see through, his dazed eyes grew slightly more serious.
After a bit of pondering, Xu Hengjiang mustered some spirit, saying, "Then let’s try."
"Alright!" Jing Chenghui’s eyes lit up with joy, turning to say to Antonios, "Mr. An, please!"
Antonios glanced at Su Yuan, seeing Su Yuan slightly nod, then stepped forward.
"Alliance Leader Xu, I’ll begin now," Antonios reminded.
"Mm," Xu Hengjiang replied in a low voice.
