Chapter 609: Chapter 276: Spiritual Energy’s Great Retreat_2

"Good!"

Zheng Shiduo stared at the stone wall for a while and wondered, "Where’s Commander Lingtong?"

"She’s gone to shoot a video speech."

"Alright, there are a few of her fans here, um, both male and female, who want to ask her for an autograph."

Mu Dan said with a smile, "This shows that Commander Lingtong’s publicity efforts are starting to pay off."

Zheng Shiduo chatted with Mu Dan for a couple more sentences, checked the time, and went off to invite new trainees to gather for a meal in Fortress Lower City.

They weren’t planning a collective fall to the 46th floor;

It was simply because only there was enough space for a large gathering, with the added bonus of holding time-tested and lively entertainment like karaoke.

Mu Dan returned to her seat and continued organizing information.

Ding.

[Mai Xiaomei: Big Peony, is your commander busy? I’m on my way back and need to discuss some matters with him. It’s not urgent, but quite important.]

Has Dragonfly Lady already taken her teacher back?

Her efficiency is quite impressive.

Mu Dan speculated that the urgent matter Dragonfly Lady mentioned was probably related to the sudden large-scale retreat in Spiritual Ability City at D3.

[Big Peony: You can come directly to the studio area, the commander is still busy.]

[Mai Xiaomei: To be safe, you’d better raise your alertness to the highest level; Spiritual Ability City has shown many unusual signs. The three spirit cultivators hiding underground recently gathered several SS-level spirit ability users of the Nature Faction, who are also my teachers.]

[Big Peony: Understood, can this information be synchronized with the Commander?]

[Mai Xiaomei: No need to bother, his intelligence network is far stronger than you think, he definitely knows by now.]

[Big Peony: Alright, safe travels.]

Closing the chat window, Mu Dan intensified the collection of information, gradually piecing together relevant information one by one.

Just half an hour after the massive retreat of spirit ability users from D3 Xingrui Wilderness;

A large number of transport aircraft appeared from the D2 and D3 divisions of the Thirteenth Institute, rushing northward, and a conspicuous firelight was observed within the divisions.

Within the next two hours, several secret bases established by Spiritual Ability City closed the "Doomsday Response System" and disappeared from the map.

This system is supposed to run automatically for all fortresses;

The likelihood of turning off the response system means the building was completely cut off power and people evacuated.

Satellite images show a multitude of flying devices converging from all directions towards the Arctic Circle.

Scores of bases lie on the outskirts of Spiritual Ability City, scattered like stars across high-latitude regions. These bases, captured on satellite images, are brightly lit, welcoming those flying devices.

The major combined combat zones related to this are all maintaining silence at the moment.

Mu Dan already had some guesses.

The awakening degree of pillar level Blade Beasts is continuously rising;

Massive spirit ability retreat;

Viewing these two events together, it’s almost conclusive that Spiritual Ability City intends to watch from the sidelines.

This is not the resolute act of a warrior severing an arm, nor a gecko shedding its tail;

It’s nothing but cowardice in facing the Blade Beasts and a despicable attempt to use Blade Beasts to suppress another faction of the human camp.

’These guys truly deserve to die.’

Mu Dan silently simmered with anger.

She glanced at the stone plate that was still absorbing spiritual energy from the air and estimated the time the commander had been inside, feeling somewhat concerned.

’Hmm, if Commander Lingtong comes over, let’s try to call the commander and see.’

Mu Dan thus made up her mind.

However, she waited until the next morning, and Lingtong still didn’t come over on her own.

Lingtong isn’t the clingy type; she fully trusts her partner and respects their freedom, especially since Wang Jixuan has many secrets.

As noon approached, there was finally some movement from the stone plate.

Mu Dan saw two figures leaping out, quickly stepping forward to greet them, and reached out to catch the war puppet Wang Jixuan was holding.

"Commander... huh?"

Mu Dan blinked and stared straight at Daoist Wang.

The Daoist’s current state indeed seemed somewhat different.

He had just broken through the Small Dao Realm, his skin glowed with Immortal Light, his eyes carried a sharpness, his whole being exuding an undeniable spiritual charm. His eyes suddenly became extraordinarily deep and dark, with faint gleams of light flickering in the darkness.

"Hmm?" Wang Jixuan asked curiously, "What are you looking at?"

"Nothing, it’s just that the commander seems a bit different."

"Just broke through, Qi is still unstable," Daoist Wang cast two magic methods to conceal his aura.

Mu Dan lowered her head to support the war puppet to the corner and immediately began reporting the series of changes that had occurred here.

"Large-scale retreat of Spiritual Ability City?"

Wang Jixuan was full of confusion:

"Did he just retreat from D2, D3 entirely? They’ve invested decades of effort and so much manpower and resources, and now they just threw it all away?"

"Indeed," Mu Dan laughed, "They probably want to avoid direct confrontation, preserve their remaining forces, and then rely on the blade beasts to eliminate D5."

Wang Jixuan sneered, "They must be certain that the Pillar Level Blade Beast will awaken."

"And they’re certain that the Pillar Level Blade Beast will attack the combined combat zone."

"Alright then," Wang Jixuan shook his head, "A bunch of cowards, it’s better they have retreated."

Mu Dan said, "The upper management of the D3 combined combat zone rushed here overnight, and General Fu Jian is entertaining them, but their treatment isn’t very good; the Commander only gave them two He Yuan Pills."

"Nice, the treatment levels are clear, this saves me a bit of effort with the furnace."

Master Wang stretched lazily, his spiritual sense scanned various places, patrolling inside and outside the fortress, ready to go back to find Lingtong.

He was busy healing Spirit Cultivator No.5, received a reciprocal gift from No.5, directly broke through a small realm, even the most important plan — true dual cultivation — was delayed.

That’s not good;

Better hurry up and make up for it!

"I’ll go rest for half a day first," Wang Jixuan said, "Over at the classroom, let them follow the class monitor and the study committee to learn properly."

"Hey!"

Mu Dan immediately held Wang Jixuan, who was about to jump out the window, and quickly said:

"Dragonfly Lady wants to discuss something, she’s on the way, she’ll be here in two minutes."

"Alright then, I’ll wait for her a while."

"Humph," a faint mumble came from the stone plate, Spirit Cultivator No.5 kept her short hair, yellow, one meter four appearance, jumped out of the stone plate and conveniently stored the stone plate into a bracelet.

Stars circled around her;

That was spiritual energy dancing for her.

No.5 was somewhat disgruntled, "You just ran out without a greeting, you’re too polite!"

"I saw you were still cultivating, didn’t want to disturb," Wang Jixuan smiled and asked, "How’s your strength recovery?"

"About twenty percent," No.5 raised her little face, "Now, even if those three old geezers directly attack, I can protect you."

Master Wang gave a thumbs up, "Awesome!"

He then asked, "What if the Pillar Level Blade Beast attacks?"

"I should be able to lead you to escape," No.5 straightforwardly admitted defeat, "My subspace, and the subspace left by Old Sophie, can take people away."

Master Wang nodded and asked again, "Can you reactivate the sleeping circuit now?"

"Activating the sleeping circuit has strict conditions, and there’s a cooldown period, using it once wears it down, simultaneous activation is also limited in number, otherwise we would have made these things sleep perpetually already."

When it involves life and death matters, No.5 also answered seriously:

"If the six of us act together, we could reinforce the circuit...right now I sense a Pillar Level Blade Beast indeed on the verge of awakening."

"Is there another way to prevent its awakening?"

"Well, I don’t have one here, but you could ask Xiao Huating," No.5 openly suggested, "She might have some surprises."

"I’ll leave this matter to you, Mu Dan."

"Okay, I’ll ask later."

No.5 interrupted, "It’s best you go yourself."

"I’ll have to wait until I’m free," Wang Jixuan slumped on the sofa, crossed his legs, calculating the time he could progress to the Golden Core Realm and Nascent Soul Realm.

At best, he needs at least three months of preparation to reach the Golden Core;

That’s disregarding the weak Tao foundation, forcing the breakthrough.

And a nascent soul...the transformation from Golden Core to Nascent Soul requires a process...

Master Wang raised his eyes looking at his war puppet, pondering how to significantly enhance its strength further.

At this point, Mai Qingting directly flew into the seventh floor, her thin wings vibrating at high speed, hurriedly rushing over here.

Why is she in such a hurry?

"Wang Zheng!"

Dragonfly Lady panted heavily, clutching a communicator as she rushed in through the window, directly shouting, "My teacher wants to communicate with you!"

"Then do it, don’t worry."

"She’s underground in Spiritual Ability City, inside the spaceship of those three spirit cultivators! It seems the spirit cultivator wants to meet you!"

Wang Jixuan turned to look at No.5.

No.5 seriously replied, "I didn’t sell you out, I’d love to monopolize your healing ability."

"Help me respond," Wang Jixuan shook his head, "I now have partners, not wanting to interact with other spirit cultivators, any issues can be first negotiated with my spokesperson in spirit cultivation civilization."

Having said that, Wang Jixuan put his hands in his pockets, stepped lightly down the stairs, and strode away.

Dragonfly Lady was stunned.

No.5 hadn’t reacted yet.

"Spokesperson? Who is it?"
