Chapter 481: Chapter 224 Professional Acting Skills

Let’s not mention Ji Xiao and Ji Yale’s battle of wits with Ma Linan for now, one side pretending to defect while the other was willing to gamble the lives of their confidantes to get these two hot potatoes back to the D5 Combined Combat Zone.

As for Master Wang’s whereabouts,

Mu Dan successfully retrieved the miniature drone she had released earlier.

This was a spider-shaped robot no bigger than a fist, with exceptional endurance and terrain-crossing ability, which successfully collected the blood traces left by Dragonfly Lady.

Some magic, although it sounds rather sinister, is not inherently evil;

Some magic treasures, like the Human Emperor Banner and the Heavenly Blue Formation, may sound righteous, but in fact, they involve the evil practice of refining countless living souls.

The nature of magic lies in where it is used and the purpose behind its use.

Holding a small test tube and gently shaking his sword finger, Daoist murmured in his heart:

’Blood returns to its place, souls can be pinned, throughout the Three Realms and six paths, seek traces and hunt.’

A wisp of blood qi circled around Wang Jixuan’s fingertip and then dissipated into the wind invisibly.

In a fleeting moment, in a trance,

An image emerged in Wang Jixuan’s mind:

[Inside a cave filled with a faint white light, the cave wall is incredibly smooth, as if polished countless times to achieve a mirror-like effect. A wall made of stone plates is attached to the cave wall, radiating a weak white light. Dragonfly Lady, covered in blood, lies in front of the stone wall pool, with visible colorful Spiritual Energy circling around her. At a distance, some men and women can be seen chatting idly, either sitting or standing.]

The image quickly faded away.

Wang Jixuan thought to himself that was not bad.

He had not only found Dragonfly Lady’s location but also pinpointed the area of the stone wall where Spirit Cultivator No.5 was, which would save a lot of effort later on.

Wang Jixuan switched to using the Spiritual Knowledge Secret Method for further investigation and after a while, signaled to Mu Dan and Black Shell to move forward.

Since he couldn’t create a holographic map, he grabbed a twig, swept away the fallen leaves on the ground to reveal the moist soil, and drew a simple map.

"This is the location of Xing Dian and Spirit Cultivator No.5.

"We’ve found Dragonfly Lady; she’s right in front of Spirit Cultivator No.5’s stone plate.

"This battle is going to be tough. In Xing Dian’s secret base, apart from Xing Dian, there are three other S-level Spiritual Ability Users, and one of them is an Awakened Spiritual Ability User, slightly weaker than Huo Rong; that should be the captain of one of the three squads of the Spirit Management Committee’s Court."

"A total of four S-level?"

Black Shell’s eyes gleamed:

"Can we just drop a nuclear bomb on the secret base? Blow those motherfuckers up! And it wouldn’t affect the civilians at the Snow Mountain Base above!"

"We can, but Xing Dian is cunning. He’s divided the secret base into four zones, each separated by thick layers of stone and connected by unidirectional passages. We can only detonate one zone before the passages collapse."

Wang Jixuan marked a grid pattern on the map, labeling each one with the numbers one to four.

"Xing Dian’s Promotion Ceremony is in Zone 3.

"His current state should be a bit dire; his body is full of Spiritual Energy, but he can’t blend it with his own Spiritual Energy.

"His Promotion Ceremony was constructed by the Six Elders, and that S-level material next to him hasn’t been used yet; I checked it out, the brain is damaged, equivalent to being vegetative.

"They will try again soon, I’ll create some chaos for them later to prevent Xing Dian from getting lucky and surviving this life-and-death threshold."

Mu Dan asked, "Can we disrupt his ceremony from a distance?"

"We should be able to, if we’re close enough," Wang Jixuan didn’t speak with certainty, "Anyway, if things look bad, we’ll just pull out."

He asked a few quick questions by typing, and soon got definite replies.

They’ve got three forces coming in as reinforcements.

The first force, with Wu Man and his team, would arrive in this area in two hours and thirty-six minutes;

The second force, the D5 Combined Combat Zone could deploy a large number of Mechanical Bodies and more than twelve half-human mechas to land in this D2 combat zone within forty-eight minutes. At this stage, the attitude of the top brass in the D2 Combined Combat Zone was very ambiguous; they could try to gain their support.

The third force of reinforcements was from the Space Fortress.

If the situation deteriorated to the most critical state and a war was about to break out between D2 and D5, the Space Fortress would directly intervene, mediate as a middleman, and send their Special Team into the area.

Obviously, the third force carried more symbolic significance.

"Then we’ll plan to begin our action in three hours."

Wang Jixuan suddenly sighed.

"What’s wrong?" Black Shell asked quietly.

Wang Jixuan clicked his tongue, "It’s nothing, just feeling a bit sentimental... These people truly have no scruples."

"Spiritual Ability Users?"

"Yes."

Wang Jixuan looked towards the direction of the secret base at Snow Mountain Base and said helplessly:

"I always thought that Fortress Lower City 76 was corrupt enough, but it seems that humanity’s depravity knows no bounds.

"These Spiritual Ability Users, after gaining power, cannot be called all demons, but most of them have twisted their psyches because of the pain of the infusion ceremony.

"Guess what they want a large number of adolescents for?"

"Evil sacrifices?"

"There are two S-level Spiritual Ability Users from Spiritual Ability City who prefer teenager’s bodies. Xing Dian’s subordinates are trying to please them by selecting seventy to eighty teens from all over the fortresses of the D2 Combined Combat Zone."

"Shit," Black Shell cursed, "These damn perverts! Blow them all up!"

Unable to understand, Mu Dan asked, "Why do humans always try to seek novelty?"

Black Shell sighed, "It’s because of the pleasure threshold, I guess. As desires are indulged, the threshold for pleasure grows higher and higher, and when ordinary happiness can’t satisfy, combined with power and privilege, it inevitably leads to deeper corruption."
