Agents, Gather

"Fatty, don't panic. This thing's no longer under the Bizarre Tree's control. You can definitely handle it."

Jiang Yue couldn't help much right now, so all he could do was encourage him.

It wasn't that Jiang Yue hadn't considered using the Great Spring Return Art to help Tong Di.

But the Great Spring Return Art was a skill that came at a cost. Unless things reached the very last resort, Jiang Yue didn't want to play that trump card.

If Tong Di could resolve this hidden threat on his own, that would be best.

Besides, a whole lot of people had been affected this time. Even if Jiang Yue drained himself dry, the Great Spring Return Art couldn't save them all.

The incident in Wumei Community had made Jiang Yue understand something: he had to reduce everyone's dependence on him.

If they kept relying on him so heavily, they'd never truly grow.

Tong Di had already had plenty of chances to stand on his own, but when the critical moment came, he still couldn't hold the fort—and had still fallen into the Bizarre Tree's hands.

If Jiang Yue and Han Jingjing hadn't arrived in time, their whole group would have been done for.

At the same time, inside Wumei Community.

Chen Yinxing, who hadn't been seen for a long time, had appeared inside one of the buildings in Wumei Community.

The building was almost completely covered by lush vegetation. Even Chen Yinxing had to search the area for quite a while before finding its entrance.

By then, at least twenty or thirty people had gathered inside.

Most of them were loners who barely knew one another. A few had crossed paths before, of course, and exchanged brief greetings when they met, but none seemed interested in talking at length.
