Vinson and a few other representatives who had survived the last encounter trembled with nervousness.
This time, they were not only here to ransom their people and pay a visit, but also to apologize, take the blame, and bear all responsibilities. Therefore, they were extremely worried about their fate!
Fan Cheng faced the representatives from various countries on Earth. As a general of Great Gan, he did not appear overly arrogant.
However, the oppressive aura of a cultivator made him seem lofty and untouchable in the eyes of the Earthlings.
"Everyone, you are guests of Great Gan now. There's no need to be so nervous. We will treat you as friends."
Seeing the tension written on their faces, Fan Cheng spoke in Huaxia language to reassure them.
Upon hearing this, the Earthlings' hearts, which had been in their throats, gradually relaxed.
The cultivator general's words indicated that they would not be harmed.
Deng He hesitated for a moment before stepping forward and saying, "General, the high command of our Huaxia expresses their deepest apologies for offending your country's border yesterday. In this regard, we are willing to compensate for any damages."
Before coming, the Huaxia high command had conveyed the message to try and establish a good relationship with this cultivation dynasty that had inexplicably appeared on Earth.
Because, regardless of their cultural systems or mutual interests, friendship would be the most beneficial for both sides.
Fan Cheng nodded faintly upon hearing this. "Yesterday's events are bygones. The Great Wilderness suddenly appeared on Earth, and it was understandable for you to send people to investigate out of caution."
He held a very good impression of this Huaxia nation. The main reason was that he had discovered that thousands of years ago, Huaxia's culture and other aspects were very similar to the Great Wilderness. Even their written language was the same hieroglyphic script.
Although he didn't know the connection between the two, this was enough to spark some goodwill towards Huaxia.
Moreover, Huaxia's attitude was very positive and friendly towards their Great Gan Dynasty, which was also a significant factor.
Of course, his demeanor towards other countries was not so pleasant, especially those that had fired upon their guards.
Klein noticed the cultivator general's indifferent attitude towards them and her heart sank, knowing it was not a good sign. She quickly spoke up:
"General, our United States also had no intention of offending. All orders were given by Selis acting on his own, and it has nothing to do with the United States. As you know, once our troops enter the Great Wilderness, they lose contact with the outside world. Therefore, at that time, our United States had no knowledge of the situation on the new continent. If we had known that humans resided on the new continent, even primitive humans, our United States would have provided humanitarian aid, protected them, and offered them various forms of assistance."
She spoke in fluent Huaxia language, shifting all responsibility to Selis. She inadvertently displayed her alluring figure, her expression seductive and incredibly sexy.
Representatives from other island nations and countries followed suit, without exception, all shifting the blame to the deceased officers.
Vinson and the other survivors looked grim, but eventually, they stepped forward, knelt on the ground with a thud, and apologized tearfully.
"Esteemed cultivator, the offense yesterday stemmed from our ignorance and greed. It was all due to our personal selfishness. We are sinners!"
Fan Cheng looked at these Earthlings with a cold expression. Neither the seductive and charming Klein nor the tearful Vinson caused any change in his demeanor.
He sneered, "There's no need to put on a show in front of this general. The mistakes you have made will be judged by His Majesty. Those who owe compensation will compensate, and those who owe lives will pay with their lives!"
These Earthlings firing upon Great Gan was an act of war. Fan Cheng felt that making them compensate was already being lenient.
Klein and the others felt a chill in their hearts. Fan Cheng's presence felt like a hard, cold iceberg, frigid and unyielding.
They exchanged glances, not daring to speak further.
Since this cultivator general had stated that everything would be decided by the Emperor of Great Gan, they would simply wait to meet the Emperor in the Great Gan imperial capital.
Fan Cheng wasted no more words with them. He waved his hand, signaling his soldiers to bring over a giant flying ship, which hovered before the Earthlings.
"The journey to the Great Gan Emperor is long. There are sea beasts and water beasts lurking in the inland rivers. Your warships, without supernatural enhancements, are nothing but scrap metal and cannot navigate the inland rivers. Therefore, it is best for you all to travel on our Great Gan flying ship."
Fan Cheng landed at the bow of the ship and gestured for the representatives of the Earth countries to board.
Looking at the giant hovering flying ship, hundreds of meters long and incredibly wide, all the Earthlings were stunned.
Was this anti-gravity technology? The incredibly heavy ship floated in the air as lightly as a feather. It was truly miraculous!
Everyone was awestruck by the cultivators' abilities. If such a hovering ship were to appear in the outside world, it would likely cause a stir in the scientific community, and the people of the world would be in an uproar.
Deng He looked at the flying ship, his gaze gradually shifting from shock to eagerness.
As a military officer, he immediately recognized the strategic value of this ship. Wasn't this the aerial aircraft carrier that only existed in theory?
It was massive, capable of carrying a large number of weapons, equipment, and personnel, and could fly in the air. It was many levels above a conventional aircraft carrier!
If Huaxia could possess such a ship, its combat power would undoubtedly increase significantly. Unfortunately, this was a product of a cultivation civilization. They couldn't even comprehend it by looking, let alone research it.
Deng He felt regret but put aside such thoughts. The priority was to ransom their people and then try to establish friendly relations with Great Gan.
Subsequently, representatives from various countries boarded the Great Gan flying ship. Every Earthling who stepped onto the ship felt a mix of excitement and nervousness, curiously examining the ship beneath their feet. They found it very stable; despite hovering in the air, there was no shaking, as if it were cast from solid steel.
Lin Yong, filled with trepidation, followed them onto the ship, his expression filled with worry. He was unsure how his son, daughter, and elderly father were faring in the cultivators' imperial capital.
..........
In the northern region of the Great Wilderness, explosions could be heard from time to time in the desolate mountain ranges. Several peaks collapsed, causing the earth to tremble with a terrifying force!
The mountain range was reduced to broken ruins, suffering the most severe destruction since its creation.
