When Wang Jixuan found Number Five, she was packing her luggage.
As clever as she was, she had already guessed that Wang Jixuan intended to relocate. She just had not expected that he did not plan to take her with him this time.
"Later, I'll be going alone to a hidden place for secluded cultivation."
Daoist Wang explained simply:
"We probably won't see each other for one or two years.
"What are your plans?
"Although I'd also like to continue discussing academic questions about spiritual energy with you, the place I'm going next carries a certain degree of danger. I really can't take you with me."
Number Five frowned. "Are you going to the Earth's core? Or to the Ancient Ruins from Gao Huating's past life?"
Wang Jixuan smiled. "I was thinking of entrusting Gao Huating to your care."
Number Five stood with her hands behind her back, leaning against a stone slab as she carefully studied Wang Jixuan's eyes.
Daoist Wang was moving about in his true body at the moment, so the two of them were rarely able to look directly into each other's eyes without any barrier between them.
After a while, Number Five slowly nodded. "All right. I'll do as you arrange."
"Mm, don't worry about me." Wang Jixuan crossed his arms. "With my current strength lacking, I'm restrained at every turn. The large-scale appearance of Pseudo Spirit Slaves has put even more pressure on us. I can only hide away and lessen humanity's burden."
Number Five's voice softened somewhat. "What do you need me to do next?"
"Nineteen King-Class Blade Beasts are charging this way, divided into two groups."
Wang Jixuan asked:
"The first group has four, the second has fifteen, coming from different directions.
"I'll find a way to directly kill the first four.
