This goes against the principles of conduct for Meng Jin and his group of Spiritual Ability Users.

What could attract Meng Jin there...

The method to use Demonic Qi?

Are they planning to capture that S-level demonized entity to learn how to plunder souls using Demonic Qi, and then give us a false impression and steal the method to counter Demonic Qi?

Wow, almost fell for it.

Wang Jixuan smiled, "I almost forgot one thing... The last time you fought with Xing Dian, he also injected a strand of Demonic Qi into your bodies, and yet you're perfectly fine now..."

Meng Jin's gaze flickered slightly.

An understanding dawned in Wang Jixuan's heart.

"I heard from No.5 that the Spirit Cultivators No.1, No.2, and No.3 possess Spiritual Energy Circuits adept at purification. They must have infused them into the Spiritual Ability Users. Looking at your current condition... Does someone among your subordinates have a Purification Circuit?"

Meng Jin gave a bitter smile, "You gave us a hard time last time, so this time we dared not advance at all."

"Give me a direct answer."

"We don't."

"You're lying, young man."

Wang Jixuan chuckled softly, speaking slowly:

"So I somewhat understand. You contacted me this time merely to trick me into revealing the method to purify Demonic Qi while you're possibly heading there to capture that demonic entity.

"Let me reiterate:

"The situation over there has nothing to do with me. The Demonic Qi over there is fundamentally different from the one I use in emergencies. The materials I use for refining Demonic Qi all come from the souls of Blade Beasts."

He gestured before Meng Jin could speak again, and Mu Dan had already ended the communication.

Meanwhile, Wang Jixuan leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes, and sighed lightly.

On the other side, Meng Jin slightly pursed his lips, gazing out of the transport aircraft's porthole at the rolling black Qi outside, continuously seeking a way to harness this power.

Has my acting gotten worse?

However...

'Young man?'

Meng Jin's lips curled up.

'Clearly, he's also just a greenhorn.'

...

What to do about this.

Wang Jixuan gazed slightly absent-mindedly at the satellite images of the Snow Mountain Base.

Dongfang Zhenghong and Zhou Zhengde had moved to the corner to have a remote meeting with Fu Jian, discussing relevant issues.

Mu Dan stood quietly behind Wang Jixuan, waiting for his orders.

Wang Jixuan sat there for three or four minutes.

The satellite map displayed:

The main base of Snow Mountain, the temporary camp, Rainbow Town, were all shrouded in dense black smoke;

Two groups of Blade Beasts were advancing underground, having already broken through the human defense line there, expected to reach the Snow Mountain Base within four hours;

Spiritual Ability Users sent by Spiritual Ability City were stationed outside Rainbow Town.

Wang Jixuan raised his hand to rub his forehead.

"Commander," Mu Dan said softly, "If unsure, why not consider using a nuclear bomb, since there are no surviving humans over there anyways."

"A nuclear bomb's effects are limited underground," Wang Jixuan shook his head, "Dealing with that demonic entity probably requires a Spirit Cultivator or my War Puppet."

"Then let's just let them fight it out."

"I'm thinking about how to be the fisherman, to let them fight and then reap the benefits... There's profit to be had over there, No.4 is also our enemy, but the risk is too high."

Zhou Zhengde hurried over and said quickly, "On D2's side, Xiang Lintian has asked for our support, they want to protect the two fortresses closest to the Snow Mountain Base, which are less than a hundred kilometers away. They fear that shadow will reappear."

Wang Jixuan asked, "What does our Commander mean?"

"The Commander intends to deploy the Buddhist Temple Team. Their Buddhist Law can purify Demonic Qi, and with the Seven Star Sword Formation, they should be able to counter that shadow."

Zhou Zhengde concisely said:

"You should not show up.

"Do not be influenced by Meng Jin's words, he only wants to trick you for your technique, you have made no mistakes."

Ding ding.

Wang Jixuan's communicator vibrated, Lingtong sent him a message.

[Lingtong (Return to the battlefield): Don't let the enemy's thoughts disturb your judgment.]

Master Wang was at a loss for words.

They all misunderstood.

The main reason he was hesitating was... If all that Demonic Qi were purified, it would amount to an enormous surge of Spiritual Power.

Referring to the monster that the Beast Speaker turned into, after being purified, it provided a huge benefit to their team!

The problem is, it's too dangerous.

Though riches come with risk, this risk is too high.

"Mu Dan, go and ask if Ji Xiao and Ji Yale have completed their advancement?"

"They are already capable of coming out, I will wake them up."

No.5 Spirit Cultivator's voice sounded directly in Wang Jixuan's mind.

Wang Jixuan nodded, speaking solemnly: "Then let's follow the commander's orders, our side will dispatch the Buddhist Temple Team to protect the fortresses near the Snow Mountain Base. Mu Dan stays here, the Peak Maids follow to protect, we ensure sufficient retreat mechanisms, make sure not to engage the Blade Beasts directly."

"Understood!"

"Got it."

Mu Dan and Zhou Zhengde turned to leave at the same time.

Wang Jixuan calculated in his mind:

Wu Man, Ji Xiao, Ji Yale, three S-level Spiritual Ability Users adept in Buddhist Law, combined with the Seven Star Sword Formation, more than enough to suppress that demonic entity.

Buddhist Law has a natural restraint against Demonic Qi.

However, the issue lies with the No.4 Spirit Cultivator and the 'ancient' Spirit Slave in his spire.

The uncertainty in this matter is still too great.

Wang Jixuan reiterated again, advising them to be ready to retreat at any moment.

Feeling Wang Jixuan's concern, Fu Jian personally responded to him with a few words.

Find this chapter's source on MV-LEM-PYR.

After a brief conversation with Fu Jian, Wang Jixuan continued to watch the satellite images before him.

He tilted his body, resting his left elbow on the chair's armrest, with his fingertips touching his temple, watching the two red dots on the satellite map constantly flickering.

In the corridor outside the command hall.

Shen Qionglin stood leaning against the end of the corridor, hands shoved in the pockets of his white coat, quietly watching Wang Jixuan's back.

A petite figure emerged from the shadows.

Shen Qionglin was already on the shorter side, yet still taller than the No.5 Spirit Cultivator by a head.

No.5 Spirit Cultivator folded his arms, standing opposite Shen Qionglin, leaning against the wall, seemingly deep in thought.

Shen Qionglin watched No.5 with great interest.

She inquired: "What are you thinking about? Even a powerful Spirit Cultivator can be troubled?"

No.5's fingers emitted a faint light, and his voice resonated directly in Shen Qionglin's mind:

"What about you? Through imitation, you managed to replicate the Infusion Circuit and Awakening Circuit to create a monster. Should I commend you as a genius or regard you as a potential threat?"

Shen Qionglin shrugged: "I'm human."

"Actually, essentially, so am I."

No.5 Spirit Cultivator's transmission said:

"I just found out about something, but I need his help to refine some healing pills. If I tell him about this, he might risk his life for it."

"So I decided to tell you. If you don't tell him, then you will bear the consequences."

"What is it?" Shen Qionglin whispered, "You sly old fox."

"Old Sophie's spire, what you call No.4 Spirit Cultivator, is likely below Snow Mountain Base. I just detected his spire being activated."

No.5 transmitted:

"The Sleeping Circuit of the Twelve Pillars was activated by the six of us together. If any Spirit Cultivator's Core Circuit is destroyed... I mean, if the Core Circuit is annihilated— not reincarnated— the Twelve Pillar Blade Beasts will awaken prematurely.

"The Blade Beast groups are charging towards Old Sophie, and those three old geezers in the underground of Spiritual Ability City should also be aware of this."

Shen Qionglin was taken aback, just about to say, 'Blade Beasts have technology imitating the interstellar gate,' but swallowed the words back.

She was afraid that even a single phrase from her could lead Wang Jixuan to make dangerous assumptions.

Both had their concerns and didn't want Wang Jixuan to take risks.

Suddenly.

"It's extraordinary, that I, a Daoist, should be so indecisive for so long."

Wang Jixuan clapped the armrests, slowly stood up.

They, the Buddhists, seek seclusion, focusing on blessings for the next life;

The Demons act freely, pursuing unrestrained freedom;

We, the Taoists, seek a heart at ease, thoughts unimpeded.

If the demon exists not removed, how can one attain the Great Path?

If the cycles of fate persist, how could one become an Immortal beyond this world?

If opportunities are not seized, our lifespan will unnecessarily waste away, stuck in a certain realm in the future?

It's better to take the risk and try!

Those Demonic Qi are treasures in themselves!

"Mu Dan! Get the fastest plane ready! Prepare a couple of spares too!"

In the corridor, Shen Qionglin and No.5 Spirit Cultivator exchanged glances, each suddenly laughing lightly.

"Wow, he made a decision on his own; pretty much what I expected, he's just a kind-hearted guy with a strong sense of justice," Shen Qionglin praised.

"Then I'll go too, can't let him get into trouble."

No.5 Spirit Cultivator waved her hand, creating a rift in space, pulling out her stone wall slab.
