The Judgment Group, Assemble!

When Wang Jixuan broke in using Earth Escape, Dragonfly Aunt had actually regained consciousness.

However, the injuries on Dragonfly Aunt's body, combined with the dizziness from suffocation, had already caused her, a powerful A+ class Psionicist, to lose the chance to save herself.

She was in a daze;

Complaining about the hardships of her life, a sliver of unwillingness arose in her heart.

Dying from lack of oxygen was extremely agonizing. There was no quick end, no clean break. Her body, filled with Psionic Energy, was instinctively trying to survive, yet she couldn't mobilize her Psionic Energy to supply oxygen to her brain.

'Damn it, my life is flashing before my eyes...'

Dragonfly Aunt thought bitterly, her thoughts becoming intermittent.

Images of her childhood kept appearing before her eyes. Those were cold years in the slums of the Psionic Capital. Although she could only eat half a meal each day, she was still happy and carefree, living freely. Then came an Infusion Experiment. When she was only fifteen or sixteen, she was thrown into a pool infused with Blade Beast Blood. That became the turning point of her fate. When she crawled out of the pool and was hit by the light from the wall, she inexplicably became someone superior. A superior being who was neither human nor ghost. She began to avoid mirrors, numbing herself with alcohol. Even with the constant care of several teachers, it felt like she was continuously falling into the Abyss.

'The days that followed were truly painful.'

'Sigh, I regret not getting hormone therapy for weight loss. I'm not weak either. Even if I got some resources to support a young stud, a young stud with a muscular build... Ah... I'm dying...'

'Where are my partners? Save me... Tsk, I haven't even delivered that Talisman Water to the teachers yet... They've suffered their whole lives, but they could still enjoy themselves when they're old...'

As if experiencing a final burst of energy, Dragonfly Aunt opened a slit in her eyes.

What met her gaze were blurry lights and shadows, the stone room that originally stored the Spiritual Practitioner's stone tablets, the specially suspended ceiling, and... the Demon Helmet that suddenly entered her sight.

Its twisted horns and constantly flashing indicator lights.

The silver-plated helmet's faceplate opened, revealing a handsome but somewhat pale face.

'No way, I'm hallucinating. Wang Zheng actually appeared!'

'Why would I hallucinate? I'm not interested in Wang Zheng either. Although his physique isn't bad, he's still not as burly as the Devil Commander-in-Chief. A bit of a looker but not much use.'

'No, this isn't a hallucination!'

"Wang..."

Wang Jixuan pointed his finger down.

Dragonfly Aunt felt a cool sensation pour into her lungs, filling her head. She shivered and immediately became much more alert.

The feeling of desperate suffocation was still there. She couldn't help but imagine how Wang Zheng would save her in this state. Logically, he should be able to perform artificial respiration by now, right?

It wouldn't be a loss for the Auntie to suffer a little...

Slap.

Wang Jixuan placed a simple oxygen mask on Dragonfly Aunt's face. The palm-sized oxygen generator connected to the mask could provide normal oxygen supply for two to three hours.

Wang Jixuan took out two Pills. With his Sword Finger guiding them, the Pills circled around Dragonfly Aunt, scattering specks of starlight. The Pills nourished the wounds all over Dragonfly Aunt's body, causing them to heal at an astonishing speed.

After finishing, Wang Jixuan quickly sat down cross-legged on the spot, relying on the medicinal effects and the continuous Spiritual Power from Crystal Cores to quickly restore his Magic Power.

The Void Return Realm had one fake benefit;

That is, depleted Magic Power could be quickly replenished.

He locked his Spiritual Sense onto the passage, where a fierce battle had already begun. The moment they engaged, it was all-out.

Their side was a mixed force of Mechs, Half-Human Mechs, and Psionicists.

Both the Maid Group and the Buddha Hall Squad had undergone a significant increase in combat power.

Their side's advantage was long-range firepower suppression, and they were currently maximizing this advantage. Hundreds of boiling Tail Flames appeared in the narrow passage, causing the temperature to rise sharply.

Weaker Psionicists, or those previously injured, simply couldn't stand under such high-density firepower.

However, the two Judgement Squads from the Psionic Capital, relying on their own strength and using Xing Tian's subordinates as human shields, managed to withstand their side's ranged assault.

The two sides closed the distance extremely quickly, rapidly devolving into close-quarters combat.

Wang Jixuan discovered that he had underestimated the Black Shell Instructor.

Perhaps it was because the Black Shell Instructor's performance against Jin Gu Gang seemed a bit 'less strong' that led Wang Jixuan to a preconceived misjudgment.

In reality, Black Shell was on the 'verge of collapse' at that time. The final overload was a desperate gamble. The current Black Shell, nourished by the Crane Origin Pill, could withstand overloading a hundred or eighty times without issue.

'Crazy Black Shell' returned to his peak directly!

Black Shell unleashed full firepower on the Psionicist equipment and, after the ranged bombardment, charged in alone, directly targeting the awakened S-Class Psionicist!

Engaging in close combat, preventing them from unleashing their abilities!

Black Shell's mechanical arm moved like a blur, and the S-Class Psionicist was forced back step by step, their Psionic Energy constantly flickering. They could only rely on a single method, Mental Shock, to make Black Shell temporarily retreat.

Due to terrain limitations, the Maid Group couldn't deploy their Sword Array, but they didn't need to now. With their Annihilation Cannons and their own bodies, they could directly clash with these Psionicists.

Wu Man led several frontline Psionicists against the Judgement Squad members. Under the enhancement of their technological armor, they were handling it with ease.

Even while engaging the female S-Class Psionicist from afar, Wu Man could still use Buddhist Dharma and Talismans to harass other Psionicists.

Calm thinking, meticulous observation, decisive action.

Wu Man was truly a talent for crowd control.

Seeing this, Wang Jixuan smiled with satisfaction.

Good, he didn't need to worry.

It's just...

Wang Jixuan watched Xing Tian, who was being protected by several Psionicists at the rear. Xing Tian was still plagued by the curse's power, unable to wake from his nightmares.

This was convenient for him to launch a sneak attack.

However, he and Dragonfly Aunt were currently deep in enemy territory and couldn't expose themselves easily. Otherwise, if the enemy turned around and attacked them with full force, he wasn't confident he could escape with Dragonfly Aunt using Earth Escape.

He hadn't reached his peak strength in the Void Return Realm yet.

Dragonfly Aunt slowly sat up, clutching her forehead. Her injuries had already healed significantly.

Just as she was about to express her thanks, her eyelids suddenly twitched, and she saw the Pitch Black Butterfly resting on a stone platform not far from Wang Jixuan.

Dragonfly Aunt's expression trembled. Flames erupted from her hands, and she was about to pounce.

Poof.

The butterfly transformed into the figure of the young woman, who stared coldly at Dragonfly Aunt. If Dragonfly Aunt dared to attack her, she would make this Psionicist suffer some necessary punishment.

"Don't make a move."

Wang Jixuan sat with his eyes closed and said:

"This is the Fifth Spiritual Practitioner. I've already persuaded her to cooperate with us from now on."

"Hmph," the Fifth Spiritual Practitioner said, looking up. "I haven't agreed yet."

Daoist Wang smiled and didn't say much more. He took out a few more Pills and offered them to Dragonfly Aunt, saying simply: "Take these. Your injuries can wait. There's a firefight happening in the passage outside. Wait for me for a bit, and we'll go cut off their retreat."

"Alright."

Dragonfly Aunt gave a wry smile but didn't say much else. She opened her mouth and swallowed the Pills, feeling the medicine's amplification effect on her.

The pain from her injuries indeed subsided significantly.

Dragonfly Aunt marveled, "I was actually saved by you. Unbelievable."

Wang Jixuan was puzzled. "What's so unbelievable about that? Aren't we partners?"

"Yes," Dragonfly Aunt smiled. "Thanks."

Daoist Wang gave a simple acknowledgment and tossed away the Crystal Core in his hand.

He vaguely felt a sense of urgency, a slight unease that had been stirring in his Spiritual Sense.

So, he extravagantly took out two recently acquired General-Class Blade Beast Crystal Cores and held them in his hands to speed up his Spiritual Power absorption.

Seeing that Dragonfly Aunt could already move, Wang Jixuan took out a few Data Devices.

"Don't just stand there. Go to Area Three and find their equipment. Get the data back; it might be useful."

"You got it, you busy yourself."

Dragonfly Aunt waved her hand and took a step forward. Four thin Light Wings appeared behind her, and her body shot outwards rapidly.

If Dragonfly Aunt were a slender woman, this scene would undoubtedly have an ethereal feel.

The Fifth Spiritual Practitioner sat on the edge of the stone platform.

This stone platform was originally a slab used to accommodate the Fifth Spiritual Practitioner.

She looked at Wang Jixuan and said leisurely, "It seems you've bought another person's loyalty."

"Is that so?"

Wang Jixuan replied noncommittally.

In the battle in the passage, their side had the overall advantage, but these Psionicists showed their resilience, fighting and retreating. They couldn't be taken down for a while.

Black Shell Instructor was suppressing the strongest opponent, leaving him covered in blood.

Teammates were in a fierce battle while he was on standby.

This feeling was inexplicably good.

'I basically don't need to do anything.'

A faint smile bloomed on Wang Jixuan's lips. Just as he was about to relax, his Spiritual Sense twitched again.

"Hmm?"

The Fifth Spiritual Practitioner seemed to have discovered something and looked up diagonally.

She was first slightly taken aback, then her expression softened with realization, and finally, she looked at Wang Jixuan with amusement and said, "Do you need me to tell you in advance that you've already won?"

"Winning or losing doesn't mean much to me anymore."

Wang Jixuan said:

"Your stone platform and Xing Tian will soon fall into our hands as well."

"You're really not polite," the Fifth Spiritual Practitioner clicked her tongue and chuckled. "Indeed, you easily resolved the 'turtle shell' arranged by Xing Tian and the Six Elders. But many things are not under your control; this isn't your territory, after all."

Wang Jixuan opened his eyes and stared at the Fifth Spiritual Practitioner. "You mean you're going to interfere?"

"Why would I interfere?"

The Fifth Spiritual Practitioner shrugged.

"It's not like the Blade Beasts are attacking, you're fighting over me, aren't you?"

"Indeed," Wang Jixuan sighed and began to set a trap for the Fifth Spiritual Practitioner. "I'm already thinking about how to go back and cause trouble for the Fourth Spiritual Practitioner. He said you're an extremely wicked person and that you've destroyed many planets."

The Fifth Spiritual Practitioner clicked their tongue:

"Good and evil, right and wrong, these are all definitions you've imposed arbitrarily.

"Using your social systems and historical cultures.

"To pursue power, my concepts in this regard have become very indifferent, because thinking about these things inevitably causes interference."

Wang Jixuan was stunned.

Innate ability.

This Fifth Spiritual Practitioner, their Dao Heart cultivation is actually this high. It's clear that they must have been incredibly powerful in their prime.

Just as Wang Jixuan was about to continue questioning, their Spiritual Sense suddenly detected over a dozen figures appearing in the sky two kilometers high.

They seemed to have jumped out of thin air.

There was a stealth transport plane there!

These figures charged straight down, not slowing down at all. In less than twenty seconds, they approached Rainbow Town. One of them raised their hand and pressed down, and a powerful Psionic Energy pushed upwards, steadily catching the dozen people.

This is...

A dozen S-Class Psionicists!

Leading them was a middle-aged man in a white suit, with a sinister face and a cold expression. At this moment, he used Psionic Energy to form a flamboyant white cloak, and gently pressed down with his right hand.

The ground rapidly cracked and collapsed, and buildings below fell one after another!

Hundreds, even thousands of ordinary people were killed or injured as a result.

The 'Septic Tank Station' building below was directly flipped over, revealing the dark passage beneath. The Psionicist lightly tapped the Civilization Staff in their hand forward. Only three elders remained by their side, while twelve men and women simultaneously sped downwards. Four of them had mysterious symbols glowing on their bodies.

Mai Qingting's shouts could be heard from outside the stone chamber, filled with urgency:

"Meng Jin! Meng Jin has suddenly arrived! He's brought a group of his confidants! The Group Leader of the Psionic Management Committee's Judgment Group! They're about to enter the passage! The sensing Larva Egg I left behind just saw them!"

Wang Jixuan: ...

A dozen S-Class Psionicists;

The Group Leader of the Psionic Management Committee's Judgment Group;

How are we supposed to fight this?

But now is not the time for hesitation, and there absolutely cannot be the slightest hint of fear. Wang Jixuan enveloped their group with their Spiritual Sense and directly ordered:

"Peony, take the Maid Group to cover our retreat. Use the sixth formation of the Seven Star Sword Array to block the passage. The enemy is behind you!"

"Wu Man! Shake off the enemies! Don't fight them to the death!"

"Instructor, if you have a plan, use it quickly! The Psionic Management Committee's Judgment Group has over a dozen S-Class Psionicists flanking us! Have your subordinates retreat from the vicinity of the Snow Mountain Base! Hurry!"

As soon as his Spiritual Sense transmission ended, Peony suddenly overloaded and exploded. Peony, who had been hiding this strength, changed targets and charged at the weaker S-Class Psionicist. Before the opponent could react, she forcibly tore open their Psionic Energy shield and aimed the Annihilation Cannon at their forehead, unleashing it fiercely.

The female Psionicist's eyes widened. She was caught off guard by Peony's sudden shift and half of her head was directly dissolved!

Black Shell couldn't take down the injured Awakened Psionicist immediately, so he simply blasted them hard into the stone wall.

Wu Man, along with a few Psionicists, forcibly swapped positions, deliberately leaving an opening.

These two Judgement Squad members were indeed very good at seizing opportunities. Seeing the opening, they rushed out, as if afraid they would die if they were any slower.

The two sides swapped positions in a short period.

But suddenly, twelve powerful Psionic Energies erupted in the passage, and fire and strong winds raged simultaneously. The flames filled the entire passage and surged forward!

Black Shell shouted, "Damn it, I'll hold them! Everyone retreat to Zone One!"

The situation descended into chaos once more.

This time, their people retreated into Xing Tian's turtle shell base, while only seven of the enemy Psionicists managed to escape. They were all Judgement Squad members and were covered in wounds.

Deep within the passage, Xing Tian's subordinates who had miraculously survived were in a dire situation.

They had loyally carried the Spiritual Practitioner's stone slab and the unconscious Xing Tian, but now they had to directly face the fierce assault from Wu Man, Peony, and a few Psionicists in better condition. With little ability to resist, they were quickly annihilated.

The situation on the field changed rapidly.

The injured Awakened Psionicist tried to suppress Black Shell in turn, not wanting Black Shell to retreat into the base. Reinforcements had arrived from behind, but they had failed to form a pincer attack. This made him, who was proud and arrogant, extremely enraged. At this moment, he was willing to risk serious injury to keep Black Shell here.

But Black Shell flickered, and the Maid Group, with their right hand holding a greatsword and their left hand activating the Annihilation Cannon, advanced with a Sword Array, quickly adding some injuries to the Awakened Psionicist.

The Awakened Psionicist decisively retreated, crashing into the flames surging from behind.

Black Shell made a decisive move and directly bombarded the passage with the Laser Cannon on his body, causing the passage to collapse section by section.

Those twelve powerful S-Class Psionicists were rapidly approaching.

Meng Jin's voice echoed everywhere, amplified by Psionic Energy.

"Everyone, you can surrender and live. I only want the Black Storm, and I don't want to completely offend Fu Jian."

Black Shell laughed twice: "If you want our Little Black, you'll have to get past me first!"

With that, he turned his head and called out, signaling the Maid Group to continue bombing the passage, and whispered into the communication channel:

"Quick retreat! Our reinforcements will be here in forty minutes!"

Meanwhile.

In Area 4 of the secret base, within that stone chamber.

The Fifth Spiritual Practitioner observed Wang Jixuan with leisure.

I should be able to gain a high-level Spirit Slave, she thought.
