Chapter 400: Chapter 192 Prelude to the Counterattack_2

Master Wang first set up a large array, then engaged in a distant magical combat with a king-level Preacher, and now he is making an effort to exorcise demons...

A strong sense of weakness assaulted him.

"Quickly recite the sutras."

Wang Jixuan urged.

Ji Xiao and Zheng Shiduo, who were stunned on the side, quickly agreed, sat down in an appropriate manner, and chanted the Rebirth Mantra in unison.

Two layers of golden light, one strong and one weak, rapidly filled the hangar and radiated a hundred meters beyond its range.

Before leaving with Mu Dan, he specifically instructed Shen Qionglin to watch over this place for a while to prevent Wu Man or Red Snake from being affected by residual souls, and gave Shen Qionglin some pointers on how to deal with resentful souls.

No sooner had Wang Jixuan left the hangar than he felt a sudden sensation in his heart, turning his head to look.

He could see that as the resentful souls dissipated, streams of invisible and intangible ’soul power’ fell from the sky, moistening Wu Man’s form like a drizzle.

It was pure soul power, mingled with the golden light of Buddhist Law;

Wu Man’s current condition, compared to when Wang Jixuan previously used Devil Skills and Soul Refining Evil Techniques against the enemy and ultimately gained quite a lot of benefits, was quite similar.

’This young man has indeed turned misfortune into a blessing.’

’I wonder how the king-level Preacher is doing on his end, after all, it is an old monster and should not be incapable of dealing with even these kinds of resentful souls, right?’

’Uh, the poor Daoist has also started to be somewhat sarcastic, influenced by Mu Dan. Infinite Heavenly Venerate, amen.’

...

Spiritual Sense is depleted, and the fastest way to recover is to sleep in a safe environment.

The current Fortress 76 may not be the safest place on the surface, but it’s definitely in the top three.

——Including the Black Shell and nine other second and third-generation Half-human Mechas that were recuperating here, and had already rapidly regained health.

Wang Jixuan now doesn’t even need to tell Mu Dan to wake him up if anything happens.

Mu Dan can judge for herself.

After sleeping straight through to noon, when Wang Jixuan awoke, his Spiritual Sense had returned to normal, his Mana was overflowing within his body, his mind was clear, and his Dao Heart was content.

"Commander, nothing significant has happened, except for some activity at one of the borders."

Mu Dan, who had been waiting for a long time, brought some warm water and instant noodles, reporting simply:

"Wu Man has already woken up, and when he found out you fainted trying to save him, he was very worried. And surprisingly, his own Spiritual Ability Level has increased a lot; he’s now an A-ranked Telekinesis Spiritual Ability User and his Beast Language Ability has also been enhanced."

"A group of old men and ladies are waiting for you in the studio to thank you in person."

"Also, Commander Fu Jian has sent a personal letter. Would you like to see it?"

"A personal letter?"

Wang Jixuan was actually more interested in Wu Man’s improvement, which seemed to be a pathway to increase strength.

But in front of Mu Dan, he still had to give Lao Fu some face.

"Take a look."

"Alright," Mu Dan joined her hands together and pulled out a three-dimensional projection screen that displayed a letter written on white paper with ink.

Wang Jixuan glanced over it a few times.

This was probably Lao Fu’s way of giving praises and affirmation, nothing more.

"Keep it," Wang Jixuan slurped a few mouthfuls of noodles and reached out to grab the communicator by his pillow, checking the information on it.

There were only chat records from Zheng Shiduo and Zhou Zhengde. The two were discussing the abnormal situation at the border.

"What about Lingtong?"

"Commander Ling Tong just finished a public speech and is rushing back to the front line to prepare for battle."

Mu Dan whispered:

"There’s some classified info Mu Dan sneakily saw on the command network.

"The Half-human Mecha Team has locked onto the second King-level Blade Beast, their exclusive Mechas are undergoing energy supply and main cannon upgrades, and we should hear some good news in a few days."

"The Commander has already ordered the transition to full-scale military production. All fortresses in the D5 Combined Combat Zone have turned completely militarized."

"About two months from now, we will be able to launch a major counter-offensive."

"The awakened second and third-generation Half-human Mechas will join the battle as reserve pilots for the Horror Mechas."

"According to Mu Dan’s calculation, our subsequent counter-offensive direction should be to open up the [Ancient River Corridor] between the D5 and D7 Combined Combat Zones, integrating the military might of the two large zones, and then planning the counter-offensive in a larger area."

Wang Jixuan was indifferent to these plans: "As long as we can get more Crystal Cores, it’s fine."

Mu Dan blinked.

Her commander’s enthusiasm for these big matters was never that high.

"What’s this weird thing at the border? The same border where Wu Man lost his soul?"

"That’s the place," Mu Dan put away the bowl and chopsticks, "The Blade Beast Group there seems to be in disarray. Two King-level Blade Beast Groups actually retreated underground by more than sixty kilometers."

Wang Jixuan suddenly became interested, "Have the satellite images detected anything unusual?"

"No, the Commander dispatched a large number of drones for reconnaissance, but they didn’t find anything unusual as if the Blade Beasts just withdrew on their own accord,"

"Nothing like monsters?"

"Monsters? Like the ones we encountered in the hangar before? No, we didn’t find anything like that."

Mustering her courage, Mu Dan asked softly,

"Commander, are you rejoicing in their misfortune?"

Wang Jixuan:...

He, as a Mahayana Realm Righteous Cultivator, certainly wouldn’t revel in such trivial joyous occasions at the expense of his enemies.

He just wanted to enjoy the spectacle.

"Inform me immediately if there’s any news from the Beast God Sect."

Wang Jixuan stretched lazily, picked up two neatly folded sets of clean clothes, and walked toward the bathroom, grumbling,

"I hate socializing with these leaders, that last time Zhou Zhengde’s grandmother left such an unforgettable impression, I hope there isn’t another one coming."

"Eh, are you referring to the former Chief of Staff Zhang Huanying? She actually rushed over too..."

Wang Jixuan almost slipped and nearly made a run for it.

"I’d better avoid the upcoming thank-you party if I can."

Unfortunately, Wang Jixuan didn’t have the chance to flee.

He hadn’t even finished his shower when Wu Man and Zheng Shiduo were already standing in the hallway outside, and Zhou Zhengde and Dongfang Zhenghong had driven over from the studio.

With a group of old leaders waiting, Zhou Zhengde and Dongfang Zhenghong were naturally a bit anxious.

Wu Man, on the other hand, had urgent news to report.

"Sir, I’ve seen some things!"

"What things?"

Wu Man quickly described the situation in the underground circular pit, the conversation between the Beast Speaker and ’Blade Beast Sacrifice’, and a small portion of the Beast Speaker’s memories.

After listening to Wu Man, Wang Jixuan was at a loss for how to comment.

Zheng Shiduo also remarked, "We’ve always thought that the Blade Beasts were just a group of ferocious and bloodthirsty monsters; who would have thought that they too had brains, and rather big ones at that! The Blade Beasts actually want to cultivate a ’Beast Speaker’ to become the king of humans, then help him unite the remaining humans, cede a territory for humans to live in, and make humanity a vassal to the Blade Beast civilization?"

In a low voice, Wu Man said, "In the Beast God Sect, all Spiritual Ability Users are controlled by the Brain-eating Worms, only the Beast Speaker is an exception. Because the Blade Beasts want him to become the king of humans, he must retain a human appearance to be convincing to the people."

Above all that idle gossip, Wang Jixuan was more concerned about Wu Man’s current condition.

After taking his pulse and examining him, sure enough, this fellow had benefited from the disaster, with his strength significantly improved.

What’s more precious was that Wu Man’s body was replete with Buddhist light, without a trace of Demonic Qi.

Even Master Wang was envious!

"Wu Man, do you have any strange sensations now?"

"None at all, sir. I have recovered a bit of emotion, and it’s a negative one."

Wu Man sighed dejectedly,

"I could feel many other deceased who are similar to me. They feel more like my brothers, as if we share a twin-like connection.

"But... experiments, infusions, materials, promotion.

"Some extreme thoughts have begun to sprout in me. I want to completely eliminate the source of all this evil, whether it’s the Beast Speaker or Spiritual Ability City."

"I know these thoughts are wrong..."

"There’s nothing wrong with that, they deserve to be killed!"

Zheng Shiduo curled his lips,

"If you don’t have anything else, Wu Man, let’s not take up Wang’s time anymore, the leaders are waiting.

"I’ve never seen so many antiques in my life...

"Cough, I mean, it’s like witnessing a gathering of precious old Half-human Mechas all in one place!"

Captain Zheng was truly sweating bullets.

Wang Jixuan shook his head with a smile, just about to get up, when Mu Dan, with her ear to the ground, suddenly said,

"Commander, someone claiming to be the Beast Speaker has sent a satellite communication request to the D5’s open channel.

"I have already locked onto the calling area...

"It seems to be really the Beast Speaker; that region is precisely two hundred kilometers west of the Observation Tower where Wu Man had his incident, and the signal source is underground."

Wang Jixuan was a bit puzzled.

Weren’t all the souls of the Beast Speaker blown up? How could they still be alive?
