Chapter 513: Chapter 236: The Hedge Momentum_2

"Even if Fu Jian decides to make a move against us, by actively defending ourselves and holding out during this period, once the Blade Beast mounts a major attack on D5, we’ll be able to shift from defense to offense, and using D5 to deplete the Blade Beast’s strength is also beneficial to us."

"If D5 withstands the Blade Beast Tide, we can take the initiative to set terms, demanding that they hand over Black Storm, or persuade Black Storm to choose its nesting tree wisely."

The people around the conference table pondered individually.

Tai Chenggang spoke slowly, "To speak such naive words shows that you are still too unfamiliar with Fu Jian, Meng Jin, you are indeed still too young."

"Uncle Tai, I don’t understand."

"All that you have just mentioned has already been considered by Fu Jian. He was also a staunch supporter of population control policies to avoid the Blade Beast’s strong invasion of humanity’s reserves."

Tai Chenggang sighed:

"But now, it’s obvious that Fu Jian is repelling the Blade Beast on all fronts, just to create a political environment that is conducive to his unification of the major war zones."

"Temporarily driving back the Blade Beast is just a process; what is his goal?"

"Next, he is sure to come down hard on us, to make us bow our heads!"

"At that time, the best-case scenario is that all Spiritual Ability Users will have self-destruct chips implanted in their brains, fully subjected to the control of the major war zones!"

"The worst-case scenario is the leveling of Spiritual Ability City... Trust me, Fu Jian will definitely do it!"

Meng Jin hesitated.

He caught the warning in Tai Chenggang’s eyes.

Someone asked, "Uncle Tai, what do we do next?"

"We can’t let Fu Jian make another move."

Tai Chenggang spoke slowly again:

"When the situation is in his favor, his chances of pressing the nuclear bomb button is virtually zero, so you needn’t worry about what will happen to us six old immortals, we have our ways to avoid the blast."

"Spirit Cultivators will always stand with us."

"Next, the Spirit Management Committee’s Investigation Team, Judgement Team, and Destruction Team will simultaneously dispatch elite forces. I will establish a command center, to be led by... Meng Jin?"

Meng Jin immediately stood up: "Uncle Tai!"

"Um, you’re the Judgement Team Leader and have made outstanding contributions to maintaining internal stability... Who do you think would be a good person to take charge of the command center? I’d like to hear your opinion."

With that, Meng Jin’s expression became slightly unnatural.

Several people around the conference table smiled.

Meng Jin said, "Uncle Tai, may I request to abstain from this action? I suffered serious injuries in a previous encounter with the rebel Xing Dian and am feeling a bit unwell now... excuse me."

He bowed briefly, turned, and walked toward the elevator.

There were whispering murmurs among those seated around the conference table.

A woman coldly said, "Who does he think he is? If it weren’t for his grandfather, would he be where he is today?"

"Enough, say no more."

Meng Jin did not look back, he lowered his head and entered the elevator, ascending with a smile.

Tai Chenggang spoke briefly, "Alright, let’s continue the meeting and nominate someone to lead the action."

...

Two hours later.

In the smaller courtyard of Uncle Tai’s workshop at No. 76 Fortress, Level Seven.

Wooden crates filled the courtyard, each containing High-level Crystal Cores devoid of Blade Beast Souls.

Wang Jixuan couldn’t stop smiling as he busily counted the haul.

They had not only unearthed Crystal Cores from the subspace left by No. 4 Spirit Cultivator but had also found a trove of treasures suitable for Artifact Refining.

In addition to the treasures from the previous battle for the gate at Galino;

Wang Jixuan suddenly understood what it meant to be suddenly rich.

He had previously overlooked another use for the War Puppet...

Once he refined Xing Dian into a stable War Puppet, wouldn’t he have a Golden Core-level tool person for Artifact Refining? He could directly refine some low-level magic treasures!

In a Cultivator’s fight, heavy artifacts and arrays are important, and the enhancement magic treasures provide in combat power should not be underestimated!

He was now eager to work on his own War Puppet.

Unfortunately, there was still a meeting to attend.

Mu Dan, now dressed as a maid on the second floor, called out, "Commander! Everyone is waiting for you!"

"Coming," Wang Jixuan tapped his foot and floated straight into the second-floor window.

Mu Dan passed him a helmet, but Wang Jixuan, after considering it, chose not to wear it and sat down casually in the corner of the long sofa.

Mu Dan and Wu Man took positions behind him, one on each side.

In front of them, the projection screen showed a dozen split screens; Fu Jian appeared in the top left, Wang Jixuan’s side was on the top right, and Dongfang Zhenghong on the bottom right.

Besides the high-level generals of the Black Shell level, the Commanders and Chief of Staffs from D7/D8/D9 were also present.

The meeting was presided over by Fu Jian himself.

Noticing Wang Jixuan appearing without covering his face, Fu Jian also smiled a bit more and spoke in a deep voice:

"Gentlemen, let me formally introduce Black Storm’s Wang Zheng."

Master Wang nodded indifferently, "Greetings."

A group of old generals immediately showed brilliant smiles, with greetings coming from all around.

The mere mention of the He Yuan Pill was enough to win their respect.

Fu Jian cleared his throat, and the video conference quickly quieted down.

He continued, "This meeting is to briefly inform everyone about the incident in D2 where a small-scale conflict occurred. Wang Zheng led a team that eliminated Xing Dian’s forces, which greatly weakened the Spirit Management Committee’s influence in Spiritual Ability City, killed five S-Level Spiritual Ability Users, and captured one. The important resources under Xing Dian’s control have been transported back to our side."

The generals were invigorated.

Fu Jian went on, "The threat from Spiritual Ability City has been proven repeatedly over the past fifty years; there’s no need for a lengthy discussion about it. This conflict has now escalated our differences with Spiritual Ability City to the point of irreconcilability. Expect retaliation from them..."
