The girl spoke weakly and quickly followed.

...

Half an hour later.

When Wang Jixuan and his team had already met up with the descending D5 emergency response unit and quickly retreated from the D2 Combined Combat Zone.

The D2 Combined Combat Zone began organizing a press conference to launch the severest protest against D5.

Inside the stealth transport aircraft returning near Spiritual Ability City, a group of usually aloof Spiritual Ability Users were now gloomy, silent, and not speaking a word.

"Once, I had a super luxurious base."

Meng Jin felt a lot of regret.

He also didn't know why Xing Dian would suddenly betray them, this old fellow who should have been a staunch force of Spiritual Ability City abruptly started shouting odd phrases like "Sword ah," "Exhilarating," "Evil obstacles be slain," "Truly delightful" and charged at them.

To come charging over was one thing, but he also did it with extraordinary ferocity.

Had he not reacted in time to forcefully meet the charge and desperately blocked the guy, at least half of the close confidants he brought would have been lost.

Even so, the losses were still immense.

Then there was this dark energy wrapping around inside their bodies... This dark energy was trying to eat away at their brain areas, fortunately, they had a teammate responsible for logistics support who had not gone down, and this teammate also possessed an extremely special purification ability, which barely suppressed this dark energy.

In that battle, four close confidants died, one of which was an Awakened Spiritual Energy User who was immensely precious and whom he had gone to great lengths to cultivate and win over.

The opportunity for Awakening was extremely rare.

Four others were severely maimed.

This also caused Meng Jin to feel a strong sense of confusion.

What exactly was the deal with Xing Dian?

His Spiritual Energy hadn't undergone a substantial transformation, it was... it was the method of power utilization...

Meng Jin suddenly thought of a possibility, and then his eyes grew even hotter, his steadfast face twisted with a few more strands of ferocity.

Yes, Black Storm.

The only variable was Black Storm.

This method of utilizing Spiritual Energy, different from the Spiritual Energy Circuits of Spirit Cultivators, this entirely new method of combat, the sharp cold weapons, the sword light dragging for dozens of meters, the dark energy that could attack their living souls directly, and those techniques he couldn't understand at all, must have come from Black Storm.

Although Black Storm itself was still at the Spiritual Energy level of B+, the technologies he mastered allowed Level S Spiritual Ability Users to undergo a transformation!

Xing Dian was the proof!

So it wasn't difficult to understand why Xing Dian betrayed Spiritual Ability City for these techniques.

Xing Dian must have seen a new world, already opened the door to a new realm.

The third civilization!

The miraculous and powerful civilization of Spiritual Energy!

"Hahaha! Hahahahaha!"

Inside the cabin, Meng Jin's laughter made the surviving people exchange puzzled looks.

"Has the boss gone mad with excessive sorrow?" My Virtual Library Empire (M|V|LE1MPYR) thanks you for reading at the source.

"Black Storm, we must get him! At all costs!"

Perhaps infected by Meng Jin's laughter, the people in the cabin quickly became spirited again.

This time, they had indeed broadened their horizons.

One of them said, "Boss, should we kill our way back? The enemy might have already retreated; that area is D2, they wouldn't dare linger too long, and the Six Elders have already dispatched a large Spiritual Power Army to assist."

"No need," Meng Jin said indifferently, "Now that Xing Dian has betrayed us, they will retreat quickly, and the No.5 Stone Plate has also fallen into their hands. Next, if the Six Elders still don't turn against Fu Jian, then their slow death is nearly certain."

"Boss, what about the brothers who died?"

"Take good care of their families," Meng Jin said with a heavy voice.

"This time the responsibility is mine; I didn't anticipate the variable that was Xing Dian.

"He must have joined Black Storm for power... My friends, if we can also obtain this power, human civilization will surely shine again in our hands!"

The people nodded to themselves.

"First, heal up; I'm going to visit the Silent Ball, and this time I'll exaggerate our casualties to put pressure on the Six Elders."

Meng Jin spoke with gravity:

"Even if they are as weak as they are, seeing the footage we recorded this time should instill fear in them.

"And that power just happens to be in the hands of Fu Jian..."

The transport plane moved smoothly, using slightly less fuel on the way back due to fewer passengers.

On the other side, within the fleet speeding toward D5 Combined Combat Zone, the scene was completely the opposite.

...

"Damn! I forgot something important!"

Zheng Shiduo suddenly slapped his head and cursed:

"That material! The Level S material! It was right there in Zone 3, I spotted it at the time but forgot to take it down with one shot!

"That material could possibly create an SS level powerhouse!"

Wang Jixuan, who was meditating in his seat, also smiled wryly.

He had forgotten about it, too.

At that moment, he was only thinking about how to face the enemy, he had also noticed that material before.

Though that Clone was a bit incomplete, if it could be saved, perhaps it could be nurtured into a talent like Wu Man.

But what's missed is missed, and Wang Jixuan wasn't too bothered by it.

He looked towards the Stone Plate in front of him and next to it, the young girl who sat uneasily.

Could it be not a Possession?

This girl's soul had previously been taken into the Stone Plate by Spirit Cultivator No.5.

It seems, Spirit Cultivator No.5 is not as utterly evil as No.4 said...

"Sir, would you like some juice?"

"Hmm," Wang Jixuan took the orange juice from Mu Dan and began to tally the gains from this operation.

One could say they far exceeded his expectations.

Their coming here was originally to eliminate Xing Dian and prevent him from becoming an SS Level Spiritual Ability User. Instead, Xing Dian's living soul was refined by him, and his body had become a Puppet controlled by an Alien Soul.
