‘Huh? Why does my right eyelid keep twitching?’
Wang Daozhang stopped pressing the communicator, raised his hand to rub his eye, but his brow was still twitching slightly.
What's going on?
Am I overusing my eyes?
In the cultivation world, a twitching right eyelid indicates mental fatigue and a weary body, while a twitching left eyelid means wealth… it must mean there's a treasure within a hundred miles that is destined for this poor Daoist!
He looked up ahead.
It was the same old place where he had set up the [Blood Refinement Asura Formation] last time. Mudan and her mechanical sisters were busy burying array bases that had been rushed out overnight.
Wang Jixuan was temporarily not short of materials now.
The appearance of the Crane Origin Pill perfectly solved the overload problem of the old semi-human mecha, and also directly allowed Wang Jixuan to obtain support of rare minerals from various war zones.
The right eyelid temporarily stopped twitching, but Wang Jixuan's heart…
Was even more uncertain.
He already had a premonition that there might be a problem, so he not only sent Dragonfly Auntie to investigate, but also expedited the deployment of the formation to improve aptitude.
Improving aptitude first and then charging into the Dao realm would maximize the benefits.
On the communicator, several people were chatting about the Snow Mountain Base incident, mainly for Ling Tong to hear.
Although Zheng Shiduo was sending text, it always gave people the feeling that he was describing it with great enthusiasm.
[Zheng Shiduo: Good heavens, we only found out later that the man who was directly pinned to the ground and defeated by Brother Wang was called Meng Jin, and he was the leader of their Spirit Management Association's Tribunal! A leader, plus a dozen of their elites, being pinned down and beaten by Brother Wang alone! It was so satisfying!]
[Ling Tong: It's just that the wording is a bit crude.]
[Wang Zheng: Just listen to him brag, he only barely repelled them, and that was with the power of the peak war puppet.]
[Wu Man: Sir is too modest.]
[Wang Zheng: If you two are free, come over. We're about to start the formation. I'll help you improve your aptitude. Let Xiao Huating and Shen Qionglin come over too. It's just a matter of consuming a few more crystal cores.]
[Ling Tong: You guys keep it up. I have to continue giving speeches here. The publicity period is finally over! I'll have combat missions starting tomorrow!]
[Zhou Zhengde (82 Designer): When will Lieutenant Colonel Ling Tong come to our side to give a speech? Make full use of your rest time.]
Wang Jixuan immediately narrowed his eyes and smiled.
[Ling Tong: With Teacher Wang's light shining, how dare I spread this faint light? However, the combat mission schedule will have maintenance cycles, so there will be holidays. Fortress 76 is where I set up the maintenance headquarters.]
[Zheng Shiduo: Well, after you come back, we'll tell you the story of Brother Zhou and Sweetie.]
[Zhou Zhengde: Old Zheng, does your butt itch?]
[Zheng Shiduo: Holy crap, how did you know I've been craving you for a long time? Come on, whip me! Ah ha ha ha ha!]
[Wu Man: The screen is dirty.]
[Ling Tong: ? ? ? ?]
[Wang Zheng: Wait a while to start the formation, you stay in the corner.]
[Zheng Shiduo: I was wrong, I was wrong! Brother Wang, I was wrong! I was just teasing Director Zhou, I'm not interested in him, my heart only has you, Brother Wang!]
[Wang Zheng: You'll be the array base!]
Wang Daozhang now had a face full of disgust.
Mudan suddenly ran over in a hurry.
"Chief, I just intercepted some news about the Snow Mountain Base, which is being spread on the military network of the D2 Comprehensive War Zone."
"What news?"
"There seems to have been a battle there," Mudan quickly sorted out the fragmented news, "The keywords are, black shadow, he's here, human blood suddenly boils, blood is drained, and enters the main base of the Snow Mountain Base."
The smile on Wang Daozhang's lips slowly faded.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, and the previous speculation had to be taken seriously now.
Those potions contaminated with demonic energy, the source of the demonic energy was not the demonic energy he had left behind during the fight, but… a demon appeared there.
"Let Wu Man, Zheng Shiduo, Shen Qionglin, and Gao Huating move faster, hurry over, and make sure the formation can be used after one debugging."
"Yes!"
"Find Lao Fu to help immediately find out what happened at the D2 Snow Mountain Base, and tell Dragonfly Auntie to stop approaching there! I don't want to save her a second time."
Wang Jixuan's right eyelid twitched again.
Calamity was approaching.
But this was obviously unreasonable.
If a demon was born in the Snow Mountain Base and was carrying out widespread slaughter…
Where did this demon's demonic energy come from?
What Wang Jixuan could think of was the S-class material that they had abandoned in the ruins of the Snow Mountain Base. The other party should be able to last for a while in the life support pod.
Then, this person absorbed the residual demonic energy in the passage from afar while in a coma?
The probability of this happening was too small, even smaller than the possibility of Zheng Shiduo suddenly changing his sexual orientation.
Wang Daozhang kept thinking, constantly listing various possibilities, and recalling all the details of the battle at the Snow Mountain Base.
He was sure that more than ninety-eight percent of the demonic energy transformed by the blade beasts was absorbed by the war puppet.
The war puppet was healing in the underground passage near Rainbow Town, which was several kilometers away from the secret base…
Ah, there was another possibility.
However, this possibility seemed even more absurd—the escaped Spiritual Cultivator Number Four and the inheritance spire of Number Four.
Until now, they had used various methods, and Number Five was also constantly investigating, but they had not been able to find the whereabouts of Spiritual Cultivator Number Four, and Number Four was also contaminated by demonic energy at the time.
'Could it be? Spiritual Cultivator Number Four, a dignified spiritual cultivator, at least a Nascent Soul Realm expert with tens of thousands of years of experience at his peak, can't even dissolve demonic energy?'
Wang Jixuan shook his head.
Although he already knew that there were great individual differences among spiritual cultivators, and they all had different pursuits, it was said that Number Four, Old Sophie, was still a 'loafer' in the spiritual cultivation civilization;
But he was still unwilling to accept the possibility that his enemy could not dissolve a little bit of demonic energy, which seemed extremely absurd to him.
"Chief, they're here."
"Enter the formation."
Wang Jixuan scratched his brow, led the four people into the formation, and transmitted the precautions for later.
This formation was called [Azure Duckweed Supporting Spirit], and it was also a welfare formation that their Wangxian Valley gave to inner disciples. It would not directly improve cultivation, but only improve aptitude, and also had a slight effect on enlightening understanding.
The formation slowly closed.
Mudan had intercepted more news and began to display intermittent battle scenes.
Mudan's intelligence capabilities were definitely the best in human society.
These similar images would not be sent to Fu Jian until six or seven minutes later;
It would be more than half an hour later when the intelligence personnel of Spirit Energy Capital had sorted out these images and presented them to the Six Elders.
… …
Da da da.
The sound of high heels and hard soles of shoes hitting the floor echoed in the corridor on the top floor of the fortress where the Tribunal headquarters was located.
The tall and beautiful female secretary pushed open the two gilded doors and quickly entered the leader's office.
There was a huge floor-to-ceiling window on the side of the office. Outside the window was a lake full of solid ice. The still somewhat dazzling sunlight near the Arctic Circle shone on the body of the man lying in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, outlining the perfect contours of the man's strong muscles.
Meng Jin liked sunbathing;
And he didn't like being disturbed while sunbathing.
The female secretary bit her lip, lowered her head and walked forward quickly, holding a portable projector in her hand.
"Leader, Elder Tai has an urgent call."
"Hmm?" Meng Jin opened his eyes and asked slowly, "What's the matter?"
The female secretary reminded in a low voice: "Elder Tai is still waiting on the communication channel, shouldn't you…"
"Humph."
Meng Jin snorted softly, stood up, walked barefoot to a coat rack, put on a bathrobe naturally in front of the female secretary, and sat down on the sofa next to him.
"Connect it."
The female secretary quickly straightened the projector, and Tai Shenggang's figure appeared on the projection screen, with several middle-aged plump women sleeping next to him.
Obviously, the situation this time was very urgent.
"You watch this battle first."
Elder Tai tapped the button a few times, and a split screen appeared on the projection screen in front of Meng Jin, and a scene began to play inside.
Hundreds of fully armed soldiers, including three semi-human mechas driving five-meter-level underground combat-specific mechas, aimed their guns at a large hole in front of them.
The latest novels are first published on !
Meng Jin recognized at a glance that the background was at Xing Tian's Snow Mountain Base.
The place where his core team suffered heavy losses.
Screams kept coming from the black hole, and black smoke began to gush out. Suddenly, a figure jumped out of it, and guns from all directions fired at the same time, and beams of light bloomed at the same time.
Lasers and high-energy ion beams were everywhere.
Meng Jin's eyelids suddenly twitched slightly.
A round shield appeared around the black shadow, and all the surrounding attacks were blocked by the round shield, and the figure that appeared inside the round shield slowly raised his head.
Annotations appeared next to it.
This is…
The S-class material that the Six Elders gave to Xing Tian before, which disappeared after the Snow Mountain War!
The clone that had been kept in a jar!
He's alive?
What's going on with this strength?
Black light began to flicker around the person, and the round shield suddenly shattered, exploding into a shock wave that swept across all directions, and the surrounding human soldiers were knocked over.
The figure kept flickering in the field, and black energy rushed towards all directions; wherever the black energy passed, everyone here, ordinary soldiers, semi-human mechas, and maintenance technicians, had a phantom grabbed by the black energy and sent back to the person's side.
The black energy around the figure became more and more intense because of this.
This situation…
Meng Jin suddenly thought of Xing Tian that day.
However, Xing Tian absorbed the souls of blade beasts at that time, and the S-class material is now absorbing human souls!
The black energy became more and more intense, and the figure rushed to a more distant camp with a denser population.
Soul plunder is intensifying.
The video stopped abruptly.
Elder Tai frowned, looking at Meng Jin, and said in a low voice, "Did you see that? It's very similar to what you wrote in your report."
"Yes," Meng Jin analyzed, "Seizing the souls of humans or Bladebeasts to gain more power for oneself is a power-enhancing logic completely different from spirit energy circuits."
"Obtain this new way to improve strength at all costs."
Elder Tai said slowly:
"Meng Jin, it was my misjudgment last time that I didn't let you lead the team. I wrongly trusted Angel's ability."
"Now I need you."
"If we can get this method into our hands, the threshold set by the spirit practitioners will no longer have any meaning, and we will gain a certain degree of autonomy."
"You have experience fighting against this kind of power."
Meng Jin smiled: "Last time, to stop Xing Dian, I suffered heavy losses."
"Is that so?" Elder Tai looked displeased, "Don't think we don't know about the little tricks you've been playing behind our backs. You're too impatient, Meng Jin. You will be one of the successors in the future. We are old."
"I don't want power; I just want enough respect."
Meng Jin shook his head helplessly:
"You know my ideal. I want to prove to the world in our way that spirit energy users are not demons, but saviors, redeemers!"
"Based on this, I can use some unsavory means."
"If you had simply told me today that the demons that suddenly appeared there are threatening the survival of human civilization, then I would not have argued or bargained. I would have immediately rushed to the D2 Comprehensive War Zone to eliminate this evil."
"But that's not the case. All you think about is obtaining this power. To me, that's not fighting for an ideal, so I can only make some appropriate requests to prove that I am not a child who can be fooled by a few words from you."
Tai Chenggang smiled: "You child, you're still so naive after experiencing so much. Name your conditions."
"Ten A-grade materials."
"Three."
"Six."
"Okay," Tai Chenggang nodded slowly, "But currently, there are only three A-grade materials that are not scheduled. The remaining three will have to wait about a month."
Meng Jin smiled happily: "Please rest assured, I will personally bring this power to you."
"Don't be as useless as Angel, or I'll have to bother cultivating new young people again."
Elder Tai said expressionlessly and hung up the communication casually.
The smile on Meng Jin's lips quickly disappeared. He had his secretary replay the video just now for careful analysis.
The reason he bargained was not to anger his 'superior' but a way to protect himself.
Only by making Elder Tai feel that he still cares about petty gains and is meticulous in his work can he further reduce his threat level in Elder Tai's eyes and prevent Elder Tai from thinking he is 'plotting big things'.
This black energy…
Meng Jin actually has a secret weapon, one of his subordinates who helped them treat similar black energy erosion last time.
This subordinate is a spirit slave of Spirit Practitioner Number Two, imprinted with a special spirit energy circuit.
Before Elder Tai knows this secret, he wants to try to get his hands on the black energy power first.
"Notify them to end their vacation and gather directly at the nearest points on the D2 border."
… …
At the same time.
Outside the D5 Comprehensive War Zone, in an underground cavity hundreds of kilometers away from the border.
A special Bladebeast, Jialinuo, who is becoming more and more human-like, is standing in front of two walls with his hands behind his back. Various mysterious symbols are engraved on the walls, similar to spirit energy circuits but different.
At this moment, several symbols are flashing rapidly.
The thin wings behind that Jialinuo gently vibrated, and a murmur came from his mouthparts.
"Found him. A spirit practitioner named Sophie. His location seems to be in the D2 Comprehensive War Zone of human society. The terrain there is… a plateau snow mountain."
"Sophie is very weak now. He has left his stone slab and is no longer protected by subspace."
"As long as his core circuit is shattered, the Beast God adults will be able to wake up ahead of schedule…"
Jialinuo suddenly sighed.
"The Way of Heaven, what exactly is the Way of Heaven… I really want to chat with that guy more…"
