He indeed cannot leave.
Wang Jixuan jumped out of his portable subspace, several figures following closely, each holding a weapon magic treasure, seemingly ready to rush out and battle the Dark Sect members.
Lao Zheng even took out... a lipstick.
This was his essential tool to enhance his taunting skill effects.
"Wang Zheng, now is not the time to show off."
Elder Shao's avatar appeared directly in the courtyard, frowning at Wang Jixuan, who had already started to activate his primordial spirit power.
Master Wang's smile was somewhat bitter.
He bowed deeply to Elder Shao: "Teacher, I have no choice but to stay and face this."
"What kind of dilemma do you have?"
"Earth, the Immortal Forbidden Land I was in before, the Dark Sect has its coordinates. With just a few dozen Dark Sect members, Earth cannot be defended, not to mention... there are already over a thousand Dark Sect members rushing here..."
Lao Zheng, Amina, and Mu Dan stood quietly, nodding constantly at these words.
They indeed hadn't misunderstood. What Wang Jixuan meant by 'going out' was precisely this.
Wang Jixuan quickly said: "Before I escape, I must sever ties with Earth, find a way to make them spare Earth, or figure out a way to protect Earth."
"You this! Sigh! Every star with life in the Immortal Forbidden Land is a realm of its own, how to protect it?"
Elder Shao frowned:
"I know you have feelings, but this is beyond what you can do now!
"Knowing it's impossible yet still forcing it, that is foolishness."
"But teacher, I have always regarded myself as a Righteous Cultivator. For the path of cultivation, I have retreated and made concessions many times. Earth is like my second sect, there are old friends there, how can I easily abandon it?"
"What can you do even if you go there now? What means do you have to protect a realm? As long as there's life, there's hope. If they truly destroy your way home, you can avenge yourself later, can you not?"
"But my wife is still there, I cannot just give up without even trying. If it truly can't be done, I will not go headlong to fight them, I will protect myself, and then avenge them."
Wang Jixuan's eyes were mostly calm.
Calm because he had already made up his mind.
Zheng Shiduo wanted to speak but stopped.
What Wang Jixuan said about not going headlong was like Lao Zheng claiming he likes women.
He had witnessed too many headstrong moments of the Black Storm.
"You this..."
Elder Shao was momentarily at a loss for words to refute.
Wang Jixuan lowered his head, looking at his own hands, and said in a deep voice: "Since leaving Earth, everything seems to be driven by two Heavenly Daos. I am merely a cultivator crossing tribulations, truly unable to adapt, but if I just leave, I'll regret it for life, and my path to immortality will be eighty percent severed. Please allow me, teacher, to do something, even if I can't achieve it, I must try."
Elder Shao asked: "Then how do you propose to resolve this?"
"Mu Dan!" Wang Jixuan called confidently, without looking back, "Give me a plan."
"Yes, Sir!"
Mu Dan replied promptly and said immediately:
"In the current situation, to avoid implicating Earth, the only way is to stay away from Earth and pray they do not destroy Earth. The enemy is too strong and holds absolute initiative.
"Abandoning the protection of Earth is the most rational choice at present.
"The seeds of Earth Civilization and corresponding cultures are all backed up in my database. Civilization will not lose its heritage just because of imposed violence."
Wang Jixuan:...
Elder Shao smiled bitterly: "Cultivators should avoid cause and effect, that's the principle."
Yin Lin's voice arose in the courtyard: "How about you escape first? You can figure out where to go on the way. If they really come for us, this time it's not a bluff. If you leave, the pressure on my side will lighten as well."
Wang Jixuan's mind was a turmoil of thoughts, but he swiftly made up his mind.
Mu Dan would only propose the most rational choice, and as the backbone of the team, he must provide a possible path now.
"Then from here on, listen to my arrangements.
"Only I know what they are truly afraid of, or rather, what they really want.
"Amina, you take Mu Dan and stay by Yin Lin Hall Master's side. Yin Lin Hall Master, take them to escape if things look wrong. Lao Zheng and I will draw these Dark Sect members away."
"I must ensure that they always know my whereabouts and focus on me, to spare Earth from disturbance."
"Mu Dan, send a signal over there... I can't delay much longer, try to evacuate."
"Understood, Sir," Mu Dan murmured softly, "Can Yin Lin Hall Master take your commands?"
Yin Lin's voice sounded: "I'll listen, how can I not? This guy is named by the Heavenly Dao Stele of the Dark Sect to be erased. If he can survive, he'll be a great ally. Anyway, there are not many good days left, so this poor Daoist doesn't care much anymore."
"Thank you, Hall Master."
Wang Jixuan took out Old Sophie's stone plate wall and tossed it to Amina.
Amina was not the shy type; she stored the stone plate wall and gestured for Mu Dan to enter it.
Before leaving, Mu Dan looked at Wang Jixuan and whispered: "Sir, I will find a place in the True Realm or Xu Realm to plant the seeds of Mechanical Civilization, expanding the data center as per your instructions."
Master Wang couldn't help but smile.
She indeed guessed something.
And it wasn't in vain that the master had been hinting all along.
"Go now," Wang Jixuan said gently, "don't put all your eggs in one basket."
"Got it, Sir, you take care. Don't worry about Amina, let this Queen guard your little mistress!"
Mu Dan stood tall and resolute, Wahg Jixuan made a motion to hit, while Amina just softly watched these occasionally impertinent fellows.
