Chapter 566: Chapter 258: The Lord’s Crushing_2

"Now we just need to get Spirit Cultivator No.4, and naturally, we’ll obtain this technology... This technology that can restrain most Spiritual Ability Users... Just think of its value."

Morale among the crowd visibly improved.

However, Meng Jin didn’t want to dampen the spirits at this moment but still reminded his subordinates:

"Remaining alive is the premise of everything. Don’t force yourselves to do things beyond your ability. If things go beyond our expectations, then we’ll only do what we can manage.

"The D2 Military suddenly turning against us was an oversight by other departments.

"When I say it’s time to leave, whoever stays behind, I absolutely won’t come back to rescue."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"The boss may talk harshly, but haven’t we been brought back by the boss every time we’ve gotten into trouble?"

"Don’t worry, boss, we’ll be fine!"

Suddenly, a sigh came from the side.

The chattering crowd simultaneously fell silent, their hairs standing on end as they readied themselves for attack.

Meng Jin suddenly smiled, "Elder Feng, why have you revealed yourself directly?"

"Hmm," From a crack in the rock ahead, a mass of gray Qi spun rapidly, and out stepped a hunched, dry old man with his hands behind his back.

He walked up to the crowd, a severe look on his face.

Meng Jin’s subordinates, the core enforcers of the Spirit Management Committee’s Court, quickly stood up to salute, repeatedly calling out, "Elder Feng."

This was the respect due to an SS-level powerhouse.

Elder Feng nodded slightly, just looking at Meng Jin and saying, "Technically, I shouldn’t show myself so easily. The deterrent force is best hidden in the shadows, but this time, I had no choice."

Meng Jin calmly asked, "Is the situation very dire?"

"Two things."

Elder Feng patiently elaborated:

"First, the Black Storm is rapidly sweeping through the battlefield. They easily destroyed the Blade Beast’s Fake Interstellar Gate and defeated that new SS-level I couldn’t understand either.

"They displayed many unimaginable methods. I’ve been observing in secret; they are indeed very powerful.

"Now they are already rushing this way. You should also be one of Black Storm’s targets."

"Additionally, the D2 Combined Combat Zone has completely stopped responding to the Six Elders’ inquiries. They seem to have firmly decided to side with Fu Jian. It seems the battle situation here led the D2 Commander to make a decision."

Meng Jin’s subordinates remained relatively calm.

They had similar intelligence or speculations before.

Meng Jin asked, "What is the second thing?"

"The second thing."

Elder Feng squinted slightly:

"I just received a direct order from Lord No.2. Spirit Cultivator No.4 is already out of their mind. The Blade Beasts are fiercely attacking here, and more Blade Beasts will be sent continuously until they can kill Spirit Cultivator No.4 and destroy No.4’s Core Circuit.

"If No.4’s Core Circuit is destroyed, the Pillar-level Blade Beast will awaken prematurely.

"Therefore, we must find a way to ensure No.4’s Core Circuit is neither obtained nor destroyed by the Blade Beasts, and on that basis, we shall seize No.4’s Core Circuit."

"Lord No.2 has made it clear, Spirit Cultivator No.4 no longer holds any value. They were never significant in the first place. If we can retrieve the Core Circuit, the human world will birth a genuine Spirit Cultivator, the future Planet Master."

Meng Jin and those behind him, their eyes simultaneously shone brightly.

Elder Feng smiled warmly, "You must think this through. Because D2 has defected to Fu Jian, entering D2’s airspace will be particularly difficult for our reinforcements."

Meng Jin’s subordinates looked up, gazing at Meng Jin intently.

Meng Jin pondered for a dozen seconds, slowly nodded, "Elder Feng, my stance is still... if the situation is untenable, we will retreat immediately. We won’t fight a battle we can’t win."

"You want to flee?" Elder Feng looked at Meng Jin with a frown.

"It’s simple,"

Meng Jin shrugged, quickly explaining:

"Black Storm has already destroyed the Fake Interstellar Gate. The Blade Beasts will take at least six or seven hours to launch a new assault. They’re also here to seize No.4’s Core Circuit.

"Fu Jian absolutely won’t let the Pillar-level Blade Beast awaken prematurely...

"I even suspect Fu Jian is already in this area.

"So for us, there’s no moral dilemma. We just need to consider whether we can secure enough benefits.

"The Core Circuit is certainly highly valuable, but any treasure requires us to stay alive to bring it back. I’m confident we can face Black Storm directly, but not Fu Jian."

"Good lad!"

Elder Feng’s eyes revealed a bit of admiration. He raised his hand, patted Meng Jin’s arm, and said kindly:

"Indeed, I wasn’t wrong about you. Continue forward; I’ll take you to a more concealed area, closer to No.4’s spire."

"Just as your grandfather said, you have a very clear mind."

Elder Feng lifted his right hand tremblingly, and gusts of wind enveloped everyone.

The black Qi could no longer approach them.

Meng Jin smiled calmly, "It’s been a while since we last faced such adverse conditions."

...

At the same time.

Near the Snow Mountain Base, at the edge of the black cloud-covered area, right at the entrance of the collapsed underground passage.

Wang Jixuan’s War Puppet, Spirit Cultivator No.5, Shen Qionglin, along with the Buddhist Temple Team and Peak Maids, were organizing their armors.

The War Puppet, rooted in Devil Skills, thrived in the demonic Qi-infested environment.

Spirit Cultivator No.5 would hide inside a Stone Plate, which could be stored in Wang Jixuan’s War Puppet’s round ring.

The Buddhist Temple Team’s Buddhist Law was naturally restrictive against demonic Qi, while the Maids, except for Mu Dan, had no Spiritual Bodies or Souls and were completely immune to the rampant demonic Qi.

Mu Dan would stay behind to protect Wang Jixuan’s main body.

Wang Jixuan’s Spiritual Sense could cover the area around the underground spire, and as long as it was within the scope of the Spiritual Sense, contact between the main body and the Dragon Python Soul wouldn’t be affected by spatial constraints.

"Commander, we’ve checked out the new people around Meng Jin."

Mu Dan reported quickly:

"Among them, two individuals’ Spiritual Ability Signals matched those that appeared during the last attack on Fortress No.76 by Destruction Team’s deputy leader Angel.

"According to Dragonfly Lady’s information, that guy is called Sha Xingzun. He possesses an ability similar to Ji Xiao’s, but it seems he can’t fight. He can only lead people through the underground, sand dunes, and dry soil."

Wang Jixuan raised an eyebrow, "No wonder Meng Jin dares to break in; they indeed have a backup plan."

Zheng Shiduo clicked his tongue, amazed, "A high-end version of Ji Xiao?"

"Go away," Ji Xiao said with annoyance, "I’ve heard of that guy; he’s a weirdo, only good at that one ability... but his ability is indeed stronger than mine."

Master Wang smiled.

He said, "In that case, if we find Meng Jin later, we’ll launch a direct surprise attack. If we can’t find him, we won’t bother with him. The priority is to seize the Core Circuit from Spirit Cultivator No.4."

After pausing, he continued:

"We could say ’seize’, but it’s really about better protecting this Core Circuit."

Everyone smiled broadly.

Master Wang sat back in the Spirit Releasing Array disc, crossing his legs and closing his eyes, focusing his mind, letting Mu Dan guard him.

The War Puppet awakened, taking a few steps forward, and instructed:

"I’ll go scout ahead first. Your main task is to block Meng Jin and his people.

"Do not engage in prolonged battles head-on; their strength is quite formidable... You can purify the demonic Qi while advancing. It will benefit you a lot."

"Sir," Wu Man asked worriedly, "should we proceed steadily, purifying the demonic Qi first before going deeper?"

"No need."

Wang Jixuan’s War Puppet grinned:

"This stuff is a great supplement to me."

Everyone: ...

The War Puppet’s figure flashed, directly jumping into the hole, rushing into the ground with his escape technique.

He didn’t speak too directly, fearing it would crush the enthusiasm of his young allies.

Wu Man and the others were just in charge of blocking the entrance.

As for Meng Jin...

He had better withstand the ’Great Yan Nuclear Explosion’ art first.

Wang Jixuan’s Spiritual Sense covered the ground, meticulously searching for every trace of Spiritual Ability waves, while Spirit Cultivator No.5 also sensed carefully within the round ring Stone Plate, searching for the Spiritual Ability Circuit.

Spirit Cultivator No.5 quickly utilized her ’protagonist’ advantage, communicating to Wang Jixuan:

"It seems they are near Old Sophie’s spire? How did they get there... oh right, there’s an SS-level Advanced Spiritual Slave, Tomisfei’s successor to Lando’s Advanced Spiritual Slave."

Master Wang made a sharp stop in the ground.
