Quite suddenly, he wanted to become the mole? An extraordinary duel ended just like that, before even having a fierce and bloody battle.

Wang Xuan stood by the window, silent, looking at the dark shadow in front of him and the warship high in the sky.

Things took an unexpected turn. We had only just made contact and exchanged a few blows when the other party betrayed us. No one would trust them immediately in that situation.

"We are both extraordinary, who would willingly be enslaved?" the shadowy figure said in a deep voice, his tone emphasizing the resentment that seemed to be suppressed deep within him.

This is somewhat convincing. In a modern world where mythology is corrupt, someone who can be extraordinary must be extraordinary. Such a person would naturally have extremely high aspirations. If given a choice, who would want to be a lackey who can be summoned and dismissed at will?

"Why did you previously seek refuge with the Sun family?" Wang Xuan asked.

He remained calm and showed no emotional fluctuations. The situation was too complicated. Cooperation would be good, but if the other side set a trap, then he would just keep killing them!

"I used to be just as ambitious as you, and I couldn't stand the domineering attitude of the conglomerates who wanted to control everything. But I was careless and got taken over by the Sun family, so I had to bow down," the shadowy figure said.

He is in a spiritual state, so there is no need to worry about outsiders hearing their conversation.

Wang Xuan felt that this person was very strong, using his physical body to control the spiritual fragments he found in the ancient ruins; this was no ordinary method.

"You're quite strong, so how did you end up in their hands? Can't you break free now?"

The shadowy figure sighed, "Don't underestimate the tycoons. In this special era, the extraordinary are gradually disappearing, and the Immortal Lords' Cave Mansion have fallen from the void. They have unearthed too many wonders."

According to him, he was full of passion and once approached the Sun family alone, but was ruthlessly suppressed. The super conglomerate's foundation is terrifyingly deep!

"A bell hangs in front of the Sun family's secret vault. As soon as I approached, the ancient bell rang on its own, instantly taking away one of my souls and two of my spirits, and I fell into their hands."

This news was astonishing and extremely important to Wang Xuan.

"The divine bell rang on its own. Was it activated by an extraordinary being at the time?" Wang Xuan asked solemnly. The Super Material was exhausted, yet the Sun family still possessed such power; it was truly terrifying.

"I didn't see it." The shadowy figure shook its head.

He added seriously, "I suspect it's an ancient treasure that the Transcendent Immortals left in haste and couldn't take with them!"

Then, he said helplessly, "Some tycoons don't even Daoist school, and how effectively they can kill superhumans."

He stated explicitly that, as time went on, the chaebols gradually realized that the contents of the secret vault were not simple.

He solemnly warned, "Recently, they have been injecting X substance collected from secret locations into many ancient artifacts. Some of these things have been revived, so be careful when approaching the conglomerates!"

The fact that the shadowy figure could say so much, warning Wang Xuan about the various dangers that might exist within the conglomerate, certainly indicates that he intends to cooperate.

But Wang Xuan couldn't trust him completely, so he could only take it one step at a time.

Earlier, the attack from this dark figure was genuine and quite fierce. One after another, those spiritual entities flew in, and anyone else might have been killed!

The shadowy figure came from the Sun family and must have known that the ancient lamp was in his hands. The deployment of those spiritual fragments was probably an attempt to deplete the lamp's Super Material.

He probably didn't expect that Wang Xuan could kill nine powerful spiritual fragments he had collected from ancient ruins, yet the Super Material in the lamp body was still inexhaustible!

If we can kill them, we should kill them; if not, then we should try a different approach and cooperate. This is realistic and true.

The Dao Heart, deeply moved, sighed, "I often wonder if this starry sky has a consciousness? It cherishes technological civilization and wants to completely eradicate the extraordinary! This world is too advantageous to the wealthy and powerful. Myths are decaying, the immortal Immortal Lords' Cave Mansion have been excavated, and technological power is growing stronger and stronger, while the extraordinary are gradually dying out. This era has given them too much..."

"Can I see your true form?" Wang Xuan asked, wanting to see the shadowy figure clearly.

This person understands that mythology is completely decaying and the extraordinary will eventually perish; he knows far too much.

The shadowy figure did not agree, saying, "I'll disappear again. I'm lying in a jade coffin, so it's inconvenient for me to come out of the spaceship to approach you, and it would also easily arouse the suspicion of the Sun family."

Then, he promised that as long as Wang Xuan entered Kangning City, the two could conspire together. He would provide the Sun family with various defense plans, and he would definitely take action to cooperate from within and without.

"If you block that ancient bell for three minutes, you will help my soul and two spirits escape."

Wang Xuan felt a little unsettled; the division of the three souls and seven spirits was Ancient Method.

Whether in his physical body or when his spirit leaves his body, Wang Xuan's spiritual energy is a unified whole.

He said, "That big bell can take away your soul, and I'm not sure I can stop it."

"No, I think you are very strong. At this age, you were able to single-handedly destroy a base of the Sun family, which is comparable to ancient legends. I believe that you can already travel in advance and do things that other superhumans cannot do."

The shadowy figure spoke, and what he meant by "spiritual journey" was clearly astral projection.

Wang Xuan shook his head and said, "I didn't do that. It was my family's patriarch who couldn't stand the Sun family using warships to bombard me, so he took action in a fit of anger. How could I have such supernatural powers? When I leave my physical body, I can only hover within a hundred meters at most."

"Who is the... founder of your sect?" the shadowy figure asked hesitantly.

"I don't know, he won't say, he just comes to see me occasionally."

The shadowy figure continued, "Could you ask your patriarch to intervene? Destroy the Sun family, and I also ask that senior to help me escape this predicament."

"He had little interest in all of this world, was always worried and busy with something, and was rarely seen. He let me hone my skills on the New Star, and only paid attention to my affairs when absolutely necessary."

Wang Xuan said in a deep voice, and as he spoke, he himself came to believe it, describing an old man who knew that the myth would perish and was now trying to find a way to stop it.

Wang Xuan misled the shadowy figure, sketching out a blurry image of a cult leader, seemingly escaping from behind the curtain.

Of course, he definitely wouldn't mention the big curtain.

Sure enough, the shadowy figure was silent for a moment before speaking again.

"I also know some things. If I have the chance, I must ask that senior to meet me. It's not just about saving me. Because my deceased mentor, who was also my former master, had similar worries."

Wang Xuan remained unmoved upon hearing this. He knew that this dark figure was suspicious and likely had a powerful background, so he needed to be careful!

"The Sun family is truly extraordinary; they possess some incredibly powerful treasures from ancient legends. They didn't know about them before, but they're gradually figuring out how to use them. Be careful, and it would be best to ask that senior to come out. If he can release one of my souls and two of my spirits, I'm willing to obey his orders from now on and be the first to go and massacre the Sun family!" His emotions were running high.

Wang Xuan nodded and asked him why the ancient spiritual fragments could travel such a long distance, already more than ten miles away.

"Because the original bodies of these spiritual fragments were extremely powerful in life. If you want to travel even further in your spirit, you can find an ancient peach tree that is hundreds of years old, the kind that was struck by lightning but survived, cut off the heartwood, and entrust your soul to it, so that you can travel even further away from your physical body!"

Wang Xuan was surprised that there was such a method, but that kind of material was mostly very difficult to find.

He thought for a moment and then asked, "How strong are the other conglomerates?"

"The financial groups and large organizations in New Star are all very powerful; there are no simpletons among them. I was too arrogant and careless in the past," the shadowy figure sighed, full of regret.

Although some families do not yet know how to use those ancient artifacts, some of the rare treasures are so powerful that they can form terrifying runes and defend themselves with a little Super Material nourishment.

That's how he fell into the trap when he barged into the Sun family!

"I'll wait until you can invite that senior patriarch to storm the Sun family. If you come by yourself, I can only say I'll do my best to help you."

Finally, the two Secret Language a few more things to each other before the shadowy figure prepared to leave.

Wang Xuan suddenly said, "How about you pretend to capture me and take me to the Sun family? What do you think? I'm being watched right now, so getting there will be difficult and will take a long time."

"Okay!" the shadowy figure nodded.

"Forget it, since the Sun family is so powerful and has such a deep foundation, I need to make preparations first." Wang Xuan shook his head. The fact that the shadowy figure agreed so quickly made him feel uneasy.

In case this guy is a double agent, and after boarding the warship, he secretly uses his internal chip to notify the Sun family to sabotage the journey, causing the warship to disintegrate, he will surely die.

"The Sun family seems certain that the flames of mythology will be completely extinguished in three years. They want to ensure that no extraordinary individuals can rise up and overturn the existing order within three years, and they want to maintain and expand their existing advantages. Moreover, they are actively negotiating with various financial groups, trying to persuade them to invite more powerful forces to join them."

Before leaving, the shadowy figure uttered these words.

That night, the atmosphere at the Sun family's home was heavy as they awaited the outcome.

"Mr. Ghost has returned home; he can't do anything to Wang Xuan!"

"The Superstar are almost here, right? Use your trump card!" someone said menacingly.

"Do you really think the Sun family lacks resources? We've only used the tip of the iceberg!"

Within the Sun family, a consensus gradually formed: they decided to utilize some of their resources to quickly defeat the extraordinary individuals and deter the outside world.

It was already past midnight, and the Song Family was sleepless.

Wang Xuan, who lived just across the street from them, finally couldn't resist and, in a moment of madness, went to the Song Family to take a look.

The Little Song went on a killing spree because of Ling Wei, even the Wu Family fell victim to it. He also bribed the Gray Blood organization to kill Wang Xuan several times in the Old Earth, which made Wang Xuan hold a grudge.

Now that Wang Xuan has come in, he doesn't intend to kill him. In these turbulent times, he doesn't want to start a war with the second conglomerate. He just wants to see their secret vault.

As soon as he approached the Song Family's territory, he immediately realized where the important area was, because there was a patch of land shrouded in a misty spiritual fog, with mysterious runes blooming.

Ordinary people would most likely not be able to see all of these phenomena, but for extraordinary individuals, they are as conspicuous as firelight in the dark.

This is a villa area, not for sale to the public. It is inhabited by the Song Family, and it is their headquarters.

In the central area, amidst a cluster of retro-style buildings, even the two bronze lions at the entrance are extraordinary, exuding Super Material and emanating a terrifying aura.

In addition, five small flags are inserted inside the ancient building, forming a strange pattern, which is quite remarkable.

What alarmed Wang Xuan the most was that deep inside that ancient building, there was an antique-looking bronze basin with a Golden Tree planted in it.

It was only a little over a meter tall, yet even through a wall in the darkness, the extraordinary could feel its dazzling golden glow, so rich and intense.

There were several small golden birds in the tree, which also looked to be made of gold. At this moment, runes were blooming in their eyes, as if life was about to be revived.

After reading it, Wang Xuan turned and left. He had a feeling that the golden bird on the Golden Tree was terrifying, as if it was targeting those who traveled in spirits and could hunt down their spirits and souls!

He felt extremely uneasy as soon as he got a little close!

This thing is specifically designed for superhumans?!

"It doesn't harm ordinary people, only intruders whose spirits have left their bodies. Does it protect whoever injects it with extraordinary substances? Or is it that the Song Family actually has a master?"

Wang Xuan was certain that the Song Family possessed a rare treasure. He had only caught a glimpse of this extremely powerful artifact, which was likely a renowned treasure in ancient times!

"That perverted Little Wang lives right next door. It's making us uneasy. He can have out-of-body experiences and can travel in his mind. We hope he doesn't come to our house and cause trouble."

Upon hearing this, Wang Xuan immediately wanted to lecture them. "Is it because you have a Little Song in your family?!"

"I think that with war imminent between him and the Sun family, he wouldn't dare to make enemies on all sides," someone else said.

Wang Xuan reluctantly glanced in the direction of the Song Family's secret vault before finally leaving.

After regaining his senses, he fell asleep immediately, and now it's only a few hours until dawn.

When the sun was high in the sky, Wang Xuan took out his phone from the Blessed Land Fragment and contacted Old Chen, telling him to be careful in Secret Language.

"Guan Lin is here! She brought me that 1.5-meter-long Black Sword!" Old Chen was immediately filled with confidence. He felt that no Secret Treasures or weapon was as easy to use as this sword.

His Confidante arrived and brought some news with her.

"The Sun family once sent a spaceship to the Old Earth, meaning they wanted to bring your parents over!"

Within the Sun family, someone donned a suit of armor, runes flowing around it, radiating a powerful, Supernatural Power!

Then, he picked up a bell, and before he could even activate it, ripples spread out as if to shatter the void!

He put down the sacred bell, picked up a Small Gourd, weighed it in his hand, and couldn't put it down.

Then, he picked up a Five-Colored Light Wheel, its flowing, hazy light seemingly capable of tearing the sky apart.

He was selecting weapons in the secret vault, preparing to go out and hunt down superhumans!
