# Chapter 1331: Godfall! (Bonus Update)
Zhong Yingxue and her group rode Xiao Jiuwo straight toward Pioneer Academy!
The autumn wind was bleak, and in the night breeze, a chill had unknowingly crept in!
Jing Du, Secretary-General's Office!
Yang Jian's heart was uneasy, completely unable to sleep. Although he clearly understood Jiangnan's plan in his heart, he feared something might go wrong—that this kid would turn a fake act into reality!
After all, what they were playing at this time was truly too big!
"Ring ring ring~"
The phone rang, and Yang Jian picked it up immediately!
His eyes bulged wide, and the teacup in his hand shattered into fragments with a "bang"!
(‧̣̥̇͡ಠ口͡ಠ) "What? What did you say? Are you sure?"
This call was from Chen Daoyi!
Yang Jian's expression made Nightingale's heart tighten!
In all this time, she had never seen the Secretary-General with such an expression!
Yang Jian hung up the phone, his body weakly collapsing onto the chair, a bitter smile on his face!
Nightingale couldn't help but ask!
(๑・᷄~・᷅) "Secretary-General, what happened?"
Yang Jian pressed his hand to his forehead, biting his lower lip hard!
(ノ)꒦ິ益꒦ີ) "Jiangnan... is dead!"
Nightingale stood frozen on the spot, as if struck by a thunderbolt from a clear sky!
Her legs went weak, and she sat down on the ground, eyes full of disbelief, tears unconsciously rolling out of her eyes!
(๑ŏ口ŏ) "Th-this... how is this possible! With Mila following him, how could Jiangnan die? The time-space combination is almost an invincible existence!"
"Boss Nan is extremely shrewd—how could he not have been prepared for the Celestial Group's assassination!"
Yang Jian bit his lip hard, holding back. I don't believe it either, dammit!
(ノ)˃̣̣̥᷄౪˂̣̣̥᷅)
Who knows what trick this kid used?
Saying he would die tonight, and he dies tonight? Is he that familiar with the underworld?
Just a single sentence?
But he still put on a gloomy face. In his position, he had to act accordingly, because the Bose body of the Holy Star might be hiding in the void, observing at any time!
Since this was a performance, he would play it to the fullest!
Yang Jian's voice came out hoarse: "The Celestial Group deployed two Dao Heaven and two Star Glory for the assassination!"
"One Dao Heaven was killed, two Star Glory fell! But they still couldn't protect Jiangnan. He died from Xiang Zhi's sneak attack..."
Nightingale sat on the ground, continuously wiping her tears with the back of her hand, repeating...
(。•́﹏ก̀。) "Impossible... this is impossible... wuwu~"
Yang Jian took a deep breath and dialed his superior's number directly—Di Rui!
The highest commander of the Spirit Martial Force!
"Chief Commander! Jiangnan is dead, killed in the Celestial Group's assassination. His body is in Wudu, being sent to Pioneer Academy..."
On the other end of the line, there was a long silence!
Under the ginkgo tree in the yard, the gray-haired old man seemed to have aged many years in an instant...
Yang Jian's heart tightened!
This is the first time I've lied to the higher-ups, dammit—this is way too intense!
After a full three minutes of silence, Di Rui's hoarse voice came from the other end!
"He's only twenty-two, still very young. He should have had clear winds and bright moons, grass growing and orioles flying—the age to enjoy his youth!"
"But he chose to shoulder responsibility, fighting for the country on all fronts, propping up Hua Xia's backbone, struggling between life and death..."
"Only this time, he couldn't come back, huh? Send him off with a state funeral! I will go to Pioneer Academy tomorrow to see him off!"
Yang Jian's heart trembled. The Chief Commander personally attending the funeral?
That wasn't in the script, hey!
"Then... about the Celestial Group!"
Di Rui's expression was grim: "Do you need to ask me about such matters? If the enemy stabs us once, we stab back hard!"
"If they kill one Hua Xia person, we slaughter a thousand of theirs! Ten thousand! Jiangnan has fought until now with outstanding achievements. Without Jiangnan, there would be no Hua Xia's current situation!"
"Do what needs to be done! I don't want him to leave without peace!"
"He was Hua Xia's dragon spine. The one who killed him—though far away, must be brought to justice! You have the dispatch authority for the five regions! Go ahead and do it!"
Di Rui's tone was suppressed with blazing fury, as if it could burn through the sky!
"Until now, there is no need to endure further! I want the world to know that Hua Xia's wrath is not something a mere Celestial Group can bear!"
Even through the phone, Yang Jian could feel Di Rui's killing intent!
He couldn't help but swallow hard.
I hope the Chief Commander won't fire me as Secretary-General after he learns the truth...
"Nightingale, notify all Dao Heaven to prepare for battle and assemble at Jing Du. This expedition is for revenge. Hua Xia must give Jiangnan an explanation!"
Nightingale wiped her tears, her eyes full of hatred: "Yes!"
With that, she ran out!
"Shadow!"
In the dark corner of the office, a black figure emerged!
"Secretary-General!"
Yang Jian took a deep breath: "Activate Firefly! Investigate all relevant information about the Celestial Group—strongholds, combat power deployment, personnel movements!"
"And find where their ancestors' graves are, understand?"
Shadow swallowed hard. Holy crap!
This wasn't just about taking down the Celestial Group—it was about digging up their ancestors' graves!
"Give me twelve hours!"
After instructing "Shadow," Yang Jian didn't rest. He directly mobilized various elite squads of the Dark Night Army to assemble at Jing Du!
Within half an hour of Jiangnan's death, Hua Xia was in full motion!
And Yang Jian took this opportunity to head straight to the Bei family in Wudu!
There was still unfinished business!
Meanwhile, Naite had already fled Hua Xia with Xiang Zhi, heading straight for the prepared shelter!
This good news of successfully assassinating Jiangnan was naturally reported to Baldr first!
In the castle of the Maze Forest in the Lotus Kingdom, Baldr received the news and froze!
He suddenly sat up from the Origin Stone!
(ºДº๑)ᕤ "Are you sure? Not a fake death or something?"
Naite said excitedly: "Absolutely not. I witnessed Jiangnan's death with my own eyes—he was killed by Xiang Zhi's sneak attack!"
"Jiangnan was too focused on defending against the Dao Heaven and Star Glory attacks and overlooked the captive he had previously caught!"
"In the end, he capsized in the gutter. His teammates were all devastated. Haha, I've been in this business for so many years!"
"I've seen too many deaths. That kind of collapse is absolutely impossible to fake. He's really dead!"
On the phone, Naite recounted all the details of the assassination to Baldr, even having Xiang Zhi confirm the account!
Xiang Zhi was dazed, looking distracted, but still recounted the assassination details!
Naite grinned widely: "I'm sure we'll see news about Jiangnan on tomorrow's headlines!"
A trace of a smile curved at the corner of Baldr's mouth. Excessive confidence had ultimately cost Jiangnan his life?
He had originally thought Jiangnan was someone to reckon with. He had even prepared to make a move himself!
But in the end, he didn't even need to step in?
"In the end, I overestimated Jiangnan. Another kindred spirit leaves this world!"
Naite couldn't help but say: "Hua Xia has already started making moves. On our Celestial Group side..."
Baldr sneered: "So what? For a dead man, Hua Xia won't tear their face off with the Celestial Group. It's not worth the loss!"
"Tell the brothers to stay hidden. Let them kill some unimportant people—let Hua Xia vent their anger and save face. Then this matter will pass!"
"Jiangnan is dead. Li Mingshan has joined the Holy Star. Hua Xia has no space user left!"
"If they dare to play for real with my Celestial Group, then Hua Xia will experience the terrifying retaliation of a top-tier space user!"
Naite felt reassured. The boss being tough gave them confidence!
After all, a world-class space user wasn't something just anyone could handle!
The two headed straight for the shelter!
Meanwhile, Baldr directly contacted Rui Sen to report the good news!
Rui Sen scratched his whole body frantically, his face full of shock!
"Are you sure? Jiangnan is really dead? How did you manage that?"
The Holy Star had made several moves, all ending in failure, and had only gotten an itch!
Yet the Celestial Group succeeded on their first try?
How long had it been?
Baldr sneered: "Just a Diamond-level space user. He couldn't even survive the second dimension! I told you, the Celestial Group's assassination success rate will always be 100%!"
"What about my payment? Keep your word. Everyone in the world fears your Holy Star's Bose body, but I, Baldr, am not afraid!"
"Don't cause trouble for yourselves!"
Rui Sen scoffed: "Words are empty. I naturally need to confirm this personally!"
"If Jiangnan is truly dead, what I promised won't be shortchanged!"
Baldr coldly laughed: "It better be!"
With that, he hung up!
Rui Sen was full of excitement. Hah, let you be arrogant?
You still ended up dead!
With Jiangnan dead, the Origin Stone and the Origin Staff would be annihilated along with his alternate dimension!
The Celestial Group's efficiency was really fast. He should have hired them earlier—then he wouldn't have ended up itching all over!
"Little sister! I'm not mobile. Go to Hua Xia and confirm whether Jiangnan is really dead!"
Rui Sen was also excited. That damned big liar was finally dead?
Serves him right!
レ(゚ᗜ゚❀)ヘ "I'm on it!"
With that, she vanished!
That night was destined to be restless. Countless people had seen the commotion in Wudu!
The reporters at the entrance had also witnessed it, and combined with Zhong Yingxue's group heading back to the academy without hiding their tracks, this matter couldn't be concealed!
Originally, the fall of a Dao Heaven-level powerhouse was already a huge deal!
For example, on the Lantis undersea battlefield, despite all the chaos, only Shake had died!
Now, Berzerk Pei Lun had died in Hua Xia's Wudu!
Coupled with Jiangnan's death—each piece of news was enough to shock the world!
The Hua Xia authorities didn't bother to cover it up. Some even leaked through secret channels that a funeral would be held at Pioneer Academy tomorrow!
On the international headline network, the servers nearly crashed from the leaked news!
Title: World's Strongest Diamond! Jiangnan! Space System! International Code Name: Boss Nan!
Fell last night in Hua Xia's Wudu!
The assassins deployed two Dao Heaven, three Star Glory! Among them, Dao Heaven-class Berzerk Pei Lun was killed, and two Star Glory died completely!

In the picture, Jiangnan's hand hung limply, and his pale face still carried an expression of unwillingness...
Boss Nan fell, the world was shaken!
