Chapter 526: Chapter 241: The Hopping Six Elders_2

Wang Jixuan’s expression was immediately indescribable.

"No, are they reacting this strongly?"

"Commander, you seem to have stepped on their tail."

Mu Dan laughed:

"But, we suddenly face a lot more pressure.

"An SS-level Spiritual Ability User outside the Six Elders, strength unknown, ability unknown, location unknown, it could be coming for Xing Dian."

Wang Jixuan crossed his arms, leaned against the corridor wall, and frowned in thought.

Although his War Puppet could easily overturn ordinary S-level Spiritual Ability Users, and by using Devil Skill to absorb Blade Beast Souls for temporary amplification, he could even face an awakened S-level like Meng Jin head-on, but to really go against an SS-level, he still felt inadequate, uncertain in his heart.

Plus, the other side had already dispatched several awakened S-levels...

Not to mention, as long as Meng Jin showed up, combined with this group of Spiritual Ability Users, that would already be enough trouble for him and the academy’s students.

"It’s really not easy," Wang Jixuan slowly exhaled, "ask Lao Fu if he has time, if he does, I’ll chat with him."

"Okay, Commander."

Mu Dan had already started sending the message, and she muttered softly:

"Could it be, the rumor you spread is not actually a rumor, but true?"

"By the way, give me a detailed history of the Six Elders, what they did before they became Spiritual Ability Users, the more detailed the better, focusing on this period... but no rush, it doesn’t help our current situation much, I’m just curious."

"The Commander will be available in fifty minutes, do you need me to find a suitable office for you?"

"Go ahead, thank you."

"Yes!"

Mu Dan hurriedly left.

Wang Jixuan turned his head to look inside the room, leaned against the wall and thought a bit, then decided to stay his hand for the time being.

He had just had a few hours of leisure, and during a meal with Lingtong...

Shaking his head, Wang Jixuan walked back into the room with his hands behind his back, saw Lingtong still sleeping, and the Daoist was watching her for a long time. He dismissed the idea of lying down by her pillow and leaned back in the folding chair to rest with his eyes closed.

’We need to find a way to strike out, can’t always let them come to us.’

’Should I go to D3 to fight? If I go over, it might cause more chaos, the other side will definitely up the ante, which might affect the overall layout.’

’So, what other breakthroughs are there?’

Wang Jixuan carefully pondered.

...

Half an hour later;

Near Fortress 76 in the wasteland.

A mass of quicksand moved constantly on the sand dunes, containing dozens of figures, quietly avoiding the patrolling drones.

These drones were equipped with early-warning systems and explosive devices, launching suicide attacks directly upon detecting unidentified intruders, and relaying their movements back.

However, no line of defense is utterly seamless.

Moreover, this group of Spiritual Ability Users had urgently brought in special talent, employing the rare ability - controlling quicksand.

The quicksand mass approached Fortress 76 quietly and stopped deep in an abandoned mine.

As the quicksand dispersed, it revealed Angel and dozens of other Spiritual Ability Users.

Among them were three awakened S-level Spiritual Ability Users, twelve S-level users, and even the weakest, Li Qiwei, was a B-level, loaded with various equipment.

They each wore black combat uniforms.

Due to the limitations of the one controlling the quicksand ability, they couldn’t equip full-body armor, only lightweight clothes, making them look like a group of irregular troops.

"Prepare for action."

Angel raised her hand and made a gesture.

Li Weiqi hastily distributed the communication wristbands.

’This young man does things well.’

Angel instructed: "Li Qi..."

"Li Weiqi, you can call me Leon."

"Alright, Leon," Angel said softly, "you’ll follow Sha Xingzun and be in charge of support later; this distance is enough for us to break the fortress’s defenses and storm in to kill them."

Li Weiqi reminded: "Captain, but will Xing Dian be inside?"

"Xing Dian might have already been relocated, but we must account for the higher-ups."

Angel continued:

"Fortress 76 has been a place where we have largely failed in our conflicts with D5, and it’s the first fortress to completely expel Spiritual Ability Users.

"Break through here, kill more officers, and then retreat immediately.

"The anger of the Six Elders needs to be quelled with blood."

His words were extremely cold.

Everyone fell silent, with a tinge of eager enthusiasm.

More than seeking revenge on D5 or killing Xing Dian, they wanted to access Black Storm and obtain the new technology it represented for Spiritual Civilization.

Xing Dian was the best example.

Still uneasy, Angel reminded: "If you find Xing Dian, report his location immediately, surround and kill him. If you encounter Black Storm... try to capture alive."

"Yes!"

"Synchronize time, hm, start action."

Black shadows began to surge from the bottom of the mine, spontaneously forming small teams to storm the fortress embedded in the ground.

However, they didn’t notice the layer of light membrane enveloping the fortress’s perimeter.

...

A few minutes later;

Fortress 76 was about to face an onslaught from numerous high-level Spiritual Ability Users;

In a distant military fortress, Wang Jixuan sat in a somewhat cramped office of a military officer, having a private conversation with Fu Jian.

Fu Jian looked in a good mood, with his mechanical face less gloomy and more relaxed.

Nearby, Mu Dan had placed a soundproof shield to ensure their conversation remained private.

Wang Jixuan asked: "Is the rumor I spread using Xing Dian true or false?"

"I don’t know the specifics either."

Fu Jian replied seriously:

"But judging by their reaction, it seems they felt somewhat guilty.

"I’ve seen the Six Elders angry, but never seen them this frustrated."

"Fine," Wang Jixuan grinned, "they are likely to madly target Xing Dian next."

"No need to worry, if you are concerned, you can have Xing Dian come to the General Command Center."

Fu Jian glanced aside and simply said:

"In about a few minutes, Fortress 76 will face an attack, but rest assured, I have deployed enough forces.

"This is also a test for Dongfang Zhenghong.

"Without you there, they can go all out."

Wang Jixuan laughed and cursed: "So I was the one holding them back before?"

"To be honest, sometimes you’re too brilliant, solving problems promptly, which indeed limits their performance space."

Fu Jian smiled and shook his head:

"Of course, if we can achieve the greatest results with minimal losses, that’s the best bargain... What’s your next plan?"

"Plan? What plan?"

"I mean, spreading rumors about the Six Elders through Xing Dian," Fu Jian asked seriously, "wasn’t that a deliberate and brilliant strategic move by you?"

"Ah, yes, absolutely well-thought-out, definitely not just to disgust them."

Fu Jian: ...

Wang Jixuan chuckled awkwardly: "I’m not good at strategy."

"Still, it’s yielding unexpectedly good results."

Fu Jian said seriously:

"Our biggest worry before was, in this rare strategic window period — referring to the Blade Beasts not launching major offensives — the Spiritual Ability City would completely shrink back.

"This would make us completely passive, missing this window period, we would face enemies on both sides.

"But now they’ve come out, giving us the opportunity to strike them, and by continually undermining their arrogance, we can unite more combat zones to re-establish a unified front."

Wang Jixuan gave a thumbs up: "Keep it up."

"What do you plan to do next?"

"I actually have an idea, but it’s not fully formed yet. I’ll come up with a plan, primarily to support your frontal assault."

Wang Jixuan explained briefly:

"As for the D2 Combined Combat Zone, I think we can mess with them a bit.

"Spiritual Ability City has invested a lot of resources there, always invisibly controlled by Xing Dian. Now that we have this ’Xing Dian’ image, we can do something."

Fu Jian nodded: "Go boldly... they’ve started their attack already, want to watch the live broadcast? Mu Dan can project it."

"Let’s watch," Wang Jixuan agreed, "after all, it counts as my home turf, but..."

"But what?"

"Nothing."

Wang Jixuan also felt a bit uncertain inside.

The Mountain Protection Array he had just set up, would it withstand the onslaught of these Spiritual Ability Users?

They dispatched so many Spiritual Ability Users, surely they could break the array, right?
