After leaving the Fengdu Treasure Ground, Bai Xiaowen and his four companions appeared before the Special Forces Brigade led by Teng Qing once again.
Teng Qing was curious about what had happened to the five of them, but he did not press for details. Once he learned that Bai Xiaowen had successfully activated the Treasure Ground Space, he turned to the question of their return.
In the end, the White Phoenix Team headed back first, while the Special Forces Brigade stayed to guard the perimeter. The Treasure Ground Space would open in seven days, and many powerful Awakened who had received Bai Xiaowen's authorization would come for the first round of exploration.
Under the letter of intent signed by the White Phoenix Team and the Awakened Association, the authorities were responsible for guarding the perimeter and managing the entrance to any Treasure Ground Space that might be found. For now, that task fell to the Special Forces Brigade.
Bai Xiaowen still had to sign a formal contract with the Awakened Association headquarters, but that could wait.
After leaving No-Man's Zone, the White Phoenix Team traveled to Spring City, then took its teleportation array back to Jinghai.
Before the White Phoenix Team even reached Jinghai, news had sent shock waves through the country's Awakened circles.
An S-Tier Treasure Ground!
A reserve of 810,000 Psionic Particles!
Specialty drops that included equipment sets and Dark Gold Equipment!
Any one of those would have set the hearts of Awakened from guilds large and small racing.
Dark Gold Equipment, in particular, held an almost irresistible allure for Awakened.
Unlike the previous Treasure Ground, the Netherwhite Ghost Domain, the Fengdu Treasure Ground drew keen interest even from Class-A League teams and Super Cup powerhouses.
An activated Treasure Ground Space was far safer than the Spirit Realm.
