Top Sequence Holders Gather
The time on the communicator jumped from 0.3 seconds to 0.5 seconds.
In just two seconds, the roar of the aircraft and the piercing sound of it disintegrating rang out. Zhang Xuezhou gently closed the alloy box that locked the scepter.
"Can't we take it out and check if it still works?"
Upon learning of the situation, Zhang Manqian looked anxious, but she had no solution.
She knew years ago that she would have to face everything.
No matter how hard she tried, she was always just one step behind Zhang Xuezhou and the others.
Faced with an undefined and well-prepared path of spiritual practice, many people are destined to try and find their way upwards.
Some people found it, but many more failed.
Zhang Manqian felt like a failure, and she didn't dare to think about Zhang Xuezhou's future after his failure.
After asking a question hastily, Zhang Manqian only saw Zhang Xuezhou shake his head.
"I've already tried," Zhang Xuezhou, shaking his head.
"Have you tried it?"
As Zhang Manqian was somewhat bewildered, she heard the sounds of breaking and burning.
She turned her head and looked out the window. Through the glass, she saw that the aircraft on the tarmac was a tangled mess, and there was thick smoke and the crackling sound of burning.
Ren Yisheng and Badun hurriedly jumped out of the aircraft and strode towards the research institute.
"Ready to set off!"
Zhang Xuezhou picked up the alloy box and shouted "Nagos" again towards the research institute.
Except for the Thousand Islands Alliance, which had relatively weaker sequence strength and did not come, Zhang Xuezhou invited almost all the countries with high Sequence Holder he could find, North Rehe, and also invited the highest Sequence Holder from these countries.
"The temperature there is high, the air is thick with toxic fumes, and we have to climb a tall tower. We need to make as many preparations as possible!"
Ren Anran gave everyone some instructions.
Aside from Zhou Rihui, a special Sixth Sequence, assisting Zhang Xuezhou's operation required at least reaching the Seventh Sequence, even though Ren Wuyang and others were excluded.
Zhong Rang, Zhu Bufan, and the others were a step behind in returning to Western Capital City, and Zhang Xuezhou wasn't prepared to wait, so the number of people who fit the criteria was very small.
"Climbing twenty miles uphill in this environment is extremely difficult," Li Qi said cautiously. "The height will greatly affect your ability to perform at that level!"
"We prepared grappling hooks for gripping the rocks a long time ago, and they're compatible with telescopic grips," Ren Anran said. "We also have fire-resistant long ropes, so we can help each other climb!"
"Committee Member Ren, can we use firearms to bombard them?" Qin Zhong asked.
"You can bring some portable firearms," Ren Anran nodded.
"Can't we use the heavy-duty ones?"
"You can't bring it in!"
Ren Anran shook her head.
Let alone bringing heavy firearms, it would be difficult to even bring people in.
Li Qi and his group are likely not qualified to participate and can only lure and distract the dead souls.
For Ren Anran, who has retained all her memories, the difficulty they face would increase at least tenfold if a new owner appeared in that area.
The conflict came too quickly. Ren Anran had not yet reached the Sole Self Realm, her forgotten Technique Method had not been restored, and she had not practiced the Heart Sutra that Zhang Xuezhou mentioned. Everything they wanted to prepare was incomplete.
But Ren Anran knew very well that Zhang Xuezhou wouldn't act recklessly. Either now was a good time to counterattack, or Zhang Xuezhou had been cornered and had no room to back down.
Conventional methods are not suitable for this type of regional warfare.
Ren Anran also carried a box containing the Boundless Jade Wall, which contained the remains of the Mirror Clan.
"If only we could obtain the 'top score' that Xuezhou mentioned!"
She would also wonder where Badun had hidden Ding Kui, and whether it would be safe to borrow it, but this was clearly not something that could be done back and forth.
Ren Anran watched Zhang Xuezhou stride away carrying the alloy case, only to run into Badun, who was also approaching. However, their conversation did not touch upon the topic of 'Dingkui'.
"Congratulations on entering the Ninth Sequence!" Zhang Xuezhou said politely, cupping his hands in greeting. "We would be extremely grateful for your continued assistance and will repay you handsomely!"
"The Ninth Sequence?"
"Ninth?"
The emergence of the Seventh Sequence individuals in the Scarlet Alliance State has fueled a sense of pride among many.
In particular, the decline and fall of the Aomeijia Alliance was a foregone conclusion, but Zhang Xuezhou's congratulatory remark revealed a message that changed everything.
A few unnatural expressions crossed Li Qi and the others' faces. Naggus, who had just come out of the research institute to test the gene drug, looked incredulous, while Ren Anran's face lit up with joy.
The more powerful Badun is, the better, as long as we can get him to come.
Zhang Xuezhou's congratulations were sincere, and Ren Anran felt no jealousy.
"Let's work together to defend against foreign enemies!"
Badun, of the Ninth Sequence, did not adopt an aggressive stance; instead, he appeared extremely humble, a stark contrast to his public demeanor several years prior.
He spoke briefly, then stood aside and looked at the alloy case that Zhang Xuezhou was carrying.
"Shall we set off now?" Ren Yisheng asked.
"We can't wait any longer, the sooner the better," Zhang Xuezhou nodded.
"It's a pity that Zhong Rang them come back," Ren Yisheng said regretfully.
"It's not certain that that many people will be able to get in!"
Zhang Xuezhou forced a smile and then looked at the people around him.
This area is home to seven Seventh Sequence individuals from the Scarlet Alliance State, two Eighth Sequence, Badun, a Ninth Sequence, and Zhou Rihui, who is capable of taking a beating.
"Should we invite Chimney Hagrid over?" Ren Yisheng asked. "I heard they've successfully activated the catalyst for R34, but it's not currently under research!"
"He has almost no ties, and I can't persuade him right now," Zhang Xuezhou said, shaking his head.
"You told old Hagrid that I was willing to share my insights on the Ninth Sequence with him," Badun said. "He has no ties and ultimately wants to live longer to see how this world develops, and the Ninth Sequence is somewhat related to that!"
"Are you willing to tell him?" Zhang Xuezhou asked curiously.
"As long as he doesn't think I'm talking nonsense, I'm definitely willing to tell him!"
Badun's words seemed to have changed his personality, which surprised not only Zhang Xuezhou but also Naggus and the others.
"I hope we can cooperate closely in the future," Badun said, turning to Zhang Xuezhou. "Don't let my age fool you, I have no communication barriers with young people!"
"We'll definitely cooperate!"
Zhang Xuezhou took a deep breath.
Having said all that, how could he not understand Badun's meaning?
Badun is only one person, and even if he becomes the Ninth Sequence, there will be no successor. On the other hand, the Seventh Sequence Scarlet Alliance State are already lined up in a row.
The experience of the Ninth Sequence is very good, but it can only be used by a small number of people, while the experience of the Seventh Sequence is a necessity with a large number of people in need.
Once this threshold is broken, a group of Sequence Holder with a high tolerance for error will emerge in various countries, which will lead to earth-shattering changes.
Especially since Zhang Xuezhou can use domain- Law Treasure, the secrets he possesses may not be much in the future, so it's better to sell them for a good price now.
"Old Hagrid, yes, I'm Badun. I've just entered the Ninth Sequence. If you help me, I'll tell you all about the Sequence for free. Anyone who doesn't help and lies is a coward!"
After Zhang Xuezhou made a call and said a few words, Badun took the communicator and immediately became the persuader.
