Chapter 316: Chapter 160: The Peril of the Dragonfly_2

"Should we make some Poison Pill? As long as Xing Dian isn’t dead, he is a ticking time bomb."

Master Wang carefully pondered and had already separated eight usable specimens, asking Mu Dan to take pictures and send them to Dongfang Zhenghong, and later to arrange for some branches to be sent over.

That way, if he encountered Tree Man Beta later, he could graft these branches onto the top of Beta’s head.

They might produce Spiritual Medicine that ranged between fifty and a hundred years old!

Wang Jixuan fetched some paper and drew several types of common Spiritual Medicine Herbs, and sent them also to Dongfang Zhenghong.

"Sir, everything has been sent!"

Mu Dan reminded him at his side:

"You still need to prepare for tomorrow’s lesson."

Wang Jixuan grinned, "No need to prepare anymore, I’ve already covered all I could in cultural studies, tomorrow morning we will start enhancing the Spiritual Ability Group."

He yawned, walked back to his bed, and sat down cross-legged; as he slowly exhaled a breath of foul air, the Qi in his body resumed its Circulation.

The speed of recovery from his injuries was much faster than he had anticipated.

Every day, the eight Spiritual Ability Users from the Buddhist Temple Team would recite several Buddhist Scriptures, and Wang Jixuan, while only slightly partaking in the Buddhist Law, had most of the Demonic Qi inside him purified.

His primary issue now was his damaged meridians. Once the meridians were restored, he could naturally step into the Returning Void.

The Returning to Void Realm, also known as the Dao Fusion Realm, was marked by the Qi Sea filling the body and the ’disappearance’ of meridians, with Qi no longer needing to follow a fixed route but able to freely change its Circulation trajectories.

Wang Jixuan’s lips moved: "You should rest early as well."

"Okay."

Mu Dan obediently went to the corner to kneel, removed her headband, took off her maid outfit, letting her dark golden hair flow freely, her delicate face expressionless.

’Another day of cultivation alone with the officer,’ Mu Dan thought to herself.

At 3 AM, Mu Dan suddenly opened her eyes, a purple light flickering in her pupils.

"Sir, Dragonfly Captain sent an urgent message."

...

The Spirit Management Committee had dispatched four Investigation Team squads including the one led by Dragonfly Lady to investigate near Fortress 76?

When Wang Jixuan received this message, he was also somewhat suspicious.

Was the Spirit Management Committee doing this deliberately, or was it an accident?

Dragonfly Lady frequently came to Fortress 76, and being from the Nature Faction, didn’t the Spirit Management Committee fear her defection?

Wang Jixuan legitimately suspected that this investigation was not only targeting Fortress 76 but possibly Mai Qingting as well.

Half an hour upon receiving the message;

Wang Jixuan changed into his Black Storm uniform and arrived at a corner of the surface army camp.

He stood behind a metal wall as Dragonfly Lady had instructed.

After waiting less than a half-minute, a yawning male soldier, head down, walked to the other side of the metal wall, deftly unzipped his trousers, and began to relieve himself.

Wang Jixuan frowned and pursed his lips.

His Spiritual Sense continuously extended; of course, he knew this soldier was already being ’parasitized’ by Dragonfly Lady using her ability, and reliving himself here was a good form of camouflage, but...

The public restroom was only three to five meters away!

It indeed was quite inappropriate!

’The soldier’ started with the password: "Who is the fairest in the northwest wilderness?"

Wang Jixuan looked up at the sky: "No one is more alluring than Mai Xiaomei."

"Very punctual," the ’soldier’ muttered softly, "I’m in a bit of trouble here, I might need you to play along later."

"Play along? Do I need to chase after you?"

"Very clever, just help me clear my suspicions."

Dragonfly Lady murmured:

"Take out one from the other three Investigation Teams, scare the others off. The highest rank coming this time is only an A; for you guys who can handle an S, it shouldn’t be a problem."

"Alright, give me the location, I just happen to arrange a practical combat lesson for my students."

Wang Jixuan crossed his arms:

"What is the Spirit Management Committee up to now?"

"Things are a bit chaotic for them."

Dragonfly Lady briefly explained:

"Mo Feng has been killed; they are starting to get angry.

"Xing Dian is severely injured, Huo Rong is killed, they are starting to fear."

"The footage of you taking out Huo Rong has spread, don’t worry, it was only filmed from high altitude, and after the video was restored, you can barely make out your mosaic shadow smashing through Huo Rong’s Flame Messenger form.

"Spiritual Ability City has now classified Black Storm as a mysterious S-Level Spiritual Ability User, and consequently, they have also developed a fear for the D5 Battle Zone.

"They are now frantically investigating the data from the D5 Spiritual Ability experiments to ascertain if D5 has already mass-produced S-level or A-level Spiritual Ability Users."

"But they came up empty-handed and even suspected that D5 had never conducted any spiritual energy experiments."

"Those elders gradually recalled the terror Fu Jian brought fifty years ago when he led the elite Half-human Mecha Army of the Six Battle Zones."

Wang Jixuan gently clicked his tongue.

Spiritual Ability Users really are a ragtag bunch.

But they shouldn’t be underestimated.

Today’s Spiritual Ability Users can only be considered ’rough jade’; once Spirit Cultivators take action, these Spiritual Ability Users will awaken en masse, and their combat power will be fully unleashed."

"Is there any news about the Spirit Cultivators?"

"No," Dragonfly Lady immediately became alert, "aren’t you one?"

"You could think of me as one, but I am human."

Wang Jixuan briefly explained:

"Huo Rong was inspired by Spirit Cultivators. Spirit Cultivators can enable Spiritual Ability Users to utilize over one hundred percent of their spiritual energy. Your Nature Faction has been preparing early, right?"

Dragonfly Lady thought carefully.

Wang Jixuan patiently waited.

From Dragonfly Lady’s reaction, it appeared the Nature Faction might have some top-secret information about Spirit Cultivators."

Soon, after careful consideration, Dragonfly Lady chose a path that was more conducive to cooperation between them.

She quickly spoke through the mouth of a soldier:

"There is a huge relic underground in Spiritual Ability City, the exact form of which we in the Nature Faction do not fully know; it’s right under the church where the Six Elders reside."

"The only certain thing is that the Spiritual Power Injection Technology and the advancement path for Level A Spiritual Ability Users both originated from this relic."

"Moreover, the Six Elders gave Xing Dian an S-level nearly dying Spiritual Ability User material. Xing Dian is now severely injured, and once his injuries heal, he might desperately try for SS-level."

"We suspect that there is something under Xing Dian’s Snow Mountain Base too, but our people can’t get in at all."

Wang Jixuan volunteered some intelligence: "I saw something related to Spirit Cultivators in Ji Xiao’s memories. I also collected fragments of Huo Rong’s spirit, confirming the Six Elders’ connection with Spirit Cultivators. Blade Beast bodies contain some non-naturally evolved mechanisms corresponding with the civilization of Spirit Cultivators."

"Wait a second."

Dragonfly Lady was clearly stunned:

"You mean, Blade Beasts are also a part of the Spirit Cultivator civilization?

"Could this be some kind of conspiracy?

"Spirit Cultivators first send Blade Beasts to attack our planet, kill most of humanity, create despair and panic, then they awaken from the relics, deify themselves as the saviors of mankind, and get mankind to worship them?

"Damn, what a fucked-up superior civilization."

Wang Jixuan:...

Dragonfly Lady’s speculation actually sounded quite plausible."

"We still have too little information on the civilization of Spirit Cultivators; let’s continue the investigation."

Wang Jixuan smiled, then began to pressure Dragonfly Lady:

"Since Spirit Cultivators can activate the abilities of Spiritual Ability Users, it’s highly likely that there will be a large-scale activation event soon. Your Nature Faction should prepare early."

"The Dominion Faction seems more like a vassal of the Spirit Cultivators."

"Such a power boost is extremely significant; one Huo Rong could kill three Mo Fengs... at that time, the Dominion Faction is very likely to purge the Nature Faction."

Dragonfly Lady laughed mockingly: "I hear a hint of intimidation in your words; that’s not the attitude of cooperation."

This little dragonfly sure is hard to fool...

Wang Jixuan swiftly shifted tactics, revealing his hand:

"I’ll help you solve your current troubles first. Give me the information tomorrow, and I’ll arrange for a surprise attack; also, leave the Tree of Kindness behind this time, I need his help over here."

"Can you remove our self-destruct chips?"

"Of course, I removed them from Ji Xiao and the other two."

"Then capture Shaman too. She’s quite naive, and several old perverts who specialize in sexually exploiting young, beautiful Spiritual Ability Users have set their sights on her."

Dragonfly Lady instructed worriedly:

"Make sure to injure me, best to beat me half to death."

"Incredibly, ever since I became beautiful, someone actually asked me out. Once I recover, I must find a strong boyfriend. Hmm... this guy is also quite cute."

The ’soldier’ shuddered a few times, zipped up his pants, and a wave of spiritual energy quietly slipped away. The soldier entered a somnambulist state and hazily returned to his own tent.

Wang Jixuan covered his helmet visor with his hands.

Sometimes he really...

He found it hard to resonate with these folks on matters of propriety!

Wang Jixuan was about to return to continue meditating when he suddenly stopped in his tracks and frowned in the direction of the spiritual energy fluctuation that had just left.

The trouble with Dragonfly Lady might not be as simple as she claimed."

The Spiritual Sense of the Daoist, just 1,600 meters away, had discovered the exclusive vehicle of Dragonfly Lady’s team."

But inside this stealth aircraft, not only four breaths were present. Two breaths hid in the belly of the fuselage, in a highly secretive location.
