Chapter 544: Chapter 249 Demon Shadow Emerges

In the relatively cramped music studio, Gao Huating looked at the scene before her with a blank expression.

What virtue and ability did she possess to have three high-ranking officials meet in her messy, long-neglected tiny studio...

However, Gao Huating soon noticed that the legendary hero Commander of D5, and this half-human mecha general, who was even larger than the Commander, were quite polite to their superior, although they weren’t overly deferential.

What a remarkable superior.

She listened to the three introducing themselves to each other:

"This is Xiang Lintian, the Deputy Commander of the D2 Combined Combat Zone, a trustworthy person."

"Hello, Mr. Wang. Just call me Lintian."

"Hello."

Wang Jixuan proactively extended his hand to shake with Xiang Lintian, greeting him calmly.

"Have a seat."

He casually brought over two folding chairs and a bean bag sofa.

The two burly veterans could barely fit their overlarge frames on the folding chairs, which was somewhat awkward.

Wang Jixuan sat cross-legged on the bean bag sofa, exuding an air of casual relaxation.

A message popped up on the communicator next to Gao Huating, and after a reminder from Mu Dan, she hurried to the refrigerator to fetch a few bottles of drinks for them.

’This is a necessary courtesy.’

Mu Dan outside the room insisted on this thought.

Xiang Lintian sighed and looked at Wang Jixuan with deep emotion, starting with a sentence: "I’m really envious of you, Lao Fu."

Fu Jian said softly: "Envious of what? There may be some inevitable factors involved."

"How so?" Wang Jixuan asked with some confusion.

Fu Jian pursed his lips and shook his head.

But Xiang Lintian said: "Right, if the envoy from the alien civilization appeared in other combat zones, like our D2, the Spiritual Ability Users would have discovered and eradicated them immediately."

Wang Jixuan couldn’t help but laugh.

So that’s what he was talking about.

He didn’t like beating around the bush, so he got straight to the point: "Deputy Commander Xiang, are you here for the formula of Xing Dian?"

"I was here for that initially," Xiang Lintian sighed, "but now I’m hesitating."

Fu Jian signaled with his eyes for Wang Jixuan to take control of the conversation.

Master Wang smiled and said: "Since you are still hesitating, why did you come to see me? Huating, see the guest out."

"Hey! Hey!"

Xiang Lintian quickly waved his hand, signaling Gao Huating not to approach and to continue playing music.

The elderly man, who came in with a heavy heart, looked shocked at first and now was somewhat embarrassed as he said awkwardly:

"My hesitation lies in the fact that we’ve been following a policy orientation for thirty or forty years, and suddenly changing course is like cutting off our own arms.

"It might lead to an internal war.

"Although we tacitly allowed and condoned the Xing Dian faction, they have now become a significant force. If we forcibly break them, our combat zone will experience a period of weakness."

Wang Jixuan asked: "How soon will the effect of those drugs kick in?"

"Very soon," Xiang Lintian immediately understood what Wang Jixuan meant.

If the drugs from Xing Dian run out, the politicians, soldiers, and others from the Xing Dian faction would die within half a month.

There would undoubtedly be a period of intense pain;

but these drug-dependent individuals are easy to deal with.

Xiang Lintian said softly: "Among these people, some do not deserve death. They have always contributed to the combat zone despite being controlled by Xing Dian, such as... Ma Linan."

Wang Jixuan said: "That name sounds familiar."

Fu Jian reminded: "He is the Deputy Chief of Staff who insisted on sending Ji Xiao and Ji Yale back."

"Yes," Xiang Lintian sighed, "he has always despised the Spiritual Ability Users. He reports and consults with us on all his actions... You could say, he is our planted agent in the Xing Dian faction and also one of the leaders of the pro-Spiritual Ability group."

"I’ve seen it."

Wang Jixuan simply said:

"We eavesdropped on his communication system at the time. He has always been outwardly obedient but inwardly disobedient to Xing Dian’s students."

Fu Jian said: "Xiao Xiang, if you have any more concerns, you can speak freely."

Xiang Lintian lowered his head in thought.

Wang Jixuan analyzed the current situation briefly.

Human society is divided into two main camps.

The Spiritual Ability Camp dominated by the D1/D2/D3 Combined Combat Zones.

The Mechanical Camp dominated by the D5/D7/D8/D9 Combined Combat Zones, with Fu Jian as the spiritual leader.

The D4 and D6 Combined Combat Zones have leaned toward Fu Jian after he presented the He Yuan Pill.

The D3 has already started fighting; the Mechanical and Spiritual Ability Camps are locked in fierce combat in the Xingrui Wilderness;

At this moment, if the D2 Combined Combat Zone defected from the Spiritual Ability Camp and joined Fu Jian’s Mechanical Camp, the global balance of power would dramatically shift from a spiritual advantage to a mechanical advantage.

The D4 and D6 would lean closer to Fu Jian’s Mechanical Camp, and the D1 and D3 might waver.

At the this point, because Wang Jixuan blew up Xing Dian’s Snow Mountain Base, revealing that Xing Dian had been using drugs to control many high-ranking D2 officials, it gave Fu Jian an excellent opportunity to strike.

Seizing this opportunity would determine the outcome of their struggle for control over human society against the Spiritual Ability City ahead of time.

Wang Jixuan mused with a smile: ’Xiao Fu is particularly concerned about Xiao Xiang, which I can understand.’

Xiang Lintian pondered for three or five minutes but ultimately couldn’t make a decision.

He said: "Actually, I’m worried... It’s not so much about worry, but... choosing a pro-Spiritual Ability route is our responsibility as the old guard, but in the end, the blame falls on them..."

Fu Jian asked: "Wang Zheng, is there a way to cure their drug addiction?"

"I haven’t tried it, so I can’t say for sure."

Wang Jixuan shrugged:

"I can help protect up to seven people. You can decide who those seven are.

"I don’t use Xing Dian’s methods."
