Meeting Up with Badun

An ordinary person would be flustered if chased by a dog, and Zhang Xuezhou felt that the white-haired old man behind him had become a mad dog as well.

Unlike ordinary cultivators, Zhang Xuezhou had a very stable mindset.

He had seen too many powerful cultivators, and had even come into contact with those who had already ascended to higher dimensions, so naturally he wouldn't feel afraid. Moreover, Zhang Xuezhou was certain that his flying speed was superior, and his physical strength, having reached the Saintly Realm, wouldn't decline.

Excluding issues of mentality and ability, Zhang Xuezhou performed consistently and excellently.

"Finally, we have a signal!"

There are no communication signals on the vast ocean, but there are faint signals near the Aomeijia Alliance, and it takes anywhere from ten days to half a month to send a message back home.

Such communication delays are unlikely to be effective, and Zhang Xuezhou had never relied on communication in the past.

However, from the information provided by Li Yingbo, Zhang Xuezhou learned that Luo Gaogao had already established communication channels and even deployed thousands of temporary communication base stations in Qinmeng.

These communication base stations are mostly suspended from the tops of trees, are small in size, and are powered by solar energy and battery packs.

If these communication base stations have any drawbacks, it is that their power is limited and insufficient to accommodate a large number of communication accesses. At present, they cannot be used for civilian purposes and can only be used for a scale of several hundred to a thousand people.

This type of communication base station cannot be profitable through large-scale deployment, but it is a lifeline for the Sequence Holder explored by Qinmeng.

Zhang Xuezhou was undoubtedly one of the first beneficiaries.

"Uncle Li, can you use our contact numbers to let Gaogao locate me and Badun?"

"No problem, but it might not be that accurate. You'll need to confirm the exact location yourself!"

"Can!"

Is Badun ready?

"The situation over there seems alright, but you'll need to go and check it out to be sure!"

The communication time was short, and the location obtained by Zhang Xuezhou was further confirmed.

Flying at high speeds, coupled with the fact that satellite positioning can only indicate a general area, makes it extremely easy to overlook ground conditions. Even Zhang Xuezhou had to be on high alert to avoid accidentally missing Mengtesi Badun.

If anyone could snipe the white-haired old man, it would only be Qinmeng and his group of Fire Meteor cultivators.

More importantly, Zhang Xuezhou's Gene Power is starting to run out. He has now switched to Law Power flight mode and can only escape his pursuers by changing direction while flying at high speed.

After rushing over the mountain, the car made a sharp 90-degree turn and changed direction again. The white-haired old man who was chasing after him had changed from anger to indifference. Even after rushing hundreds of meters, he showed no emotion and looked at Zhang Xuezhou as if he were a dead man.

Without eating or sleeping, traversing vast distances of tens of thousands of miles, this ability would be considered top-tier in any world.

Without the continuous support of the world's primordial power, the white-haired old man would not have been able to continue.

Knowing how terrifying a cultivator like Zhang Xuezhou was, he was determined to continue his pursuit until he completely killed him.

"Hiding in any cave won't help. We've already clashed once, so you should know that any terrain that hinders your flight will bring annihilation. I'm quite curious, though, what exactly did the Tiger Saint give you?"

The white-haired old man's indifferent gaze also carried a hint of wariness, wary of Zhang Xuezhou suddenly unleashing some trump card.

He was absolutely certain that Zhang Xuezhou's power was nearing its limit, and even the Crimson Gold Cloud Wings were difficult to use.

How did you manage to seize the world's essence that I possess?

Who is Xuanming?

Who is Meng Zhang?

"Just who are you?"

The white-haired old man's mind was bound to be filled with many distracting thoughts. After all, Zhang Xuezhou's strength and ability, coupled with his few simple words, contained too many unexpected factors, which made him wary.

To the old man's disappointment, Zhang Xuezhou only communicated at the very beginning, and then used extremely fast human language to communicate, which he couldn't understand at first.

The familiar territory came into view, but the lack of a habitable environment for humans reduced too many unexpected factors.

But the white-haired old man soon saw a dark hole with a steel gate at the entrance, showing signs of artificial construction. Just as an ominous premonition arose in his heart, endless flames spewed out of the hole, and countless fragments of the explosion flew everywhere.

This type of outward-radiating explosion would hardly harm him. Even if he rushed into the blast zone, he would only be slowed down by the shockwave, and any minor impact damage would be quickly healed by the world's origin.

However, such an explosion would cause many problems.

Damn it!

The reduced flight speed also means a greater distance is covered.

If the opponent's leaping attack is compounded by a change of direction, causing them to lose their position, the difficulty of the pursuit will inevitably increase.

"This is my territory. I have an all-seeing eye watching over me. You can't escape!"

A roar echoed from the flames of the explosion, carrying the initial sense of loss of control. Zhang Xuezhou, who had used the mountains and rocks to conceal his figure, breathed a sigh of relief.

He widened the distance again and headed towards meeting up with Mengtesi Badun, feeling that his hope of shaking off the white-haired old man was about to be realized.

"The underground lab that Badun built exploded two seconds too early. He wasn't caught in the center of the blast, but he was blocked, which gave me a chance to catch my breath. Did Badun have any other labs storing explosives?"

"That's it. Just this one. I've already had Nagesi coordinate with the Aomeijia Alliance to construct the explosive zone, Pasteur is also building an ambush explosive zone in the British Alliance State. The Thousand Islands Alliance has more complex terrain and underground creatures, making it difficult to build a stable ambush zone. But Kalanduo is willing to build a large-scale explosive zone in Laiyata City for our use!"

"Qinmeng is the best place to compete, it's a bit of a pity!"

"The current situation is already very good; Badun said he never thought he could achieve this!"

If the battle zone is limited to Qinmeng, then no matter how much trouble there is, it won't be a problem.

If the competition were held in one of the four major countries, it could easily have far-reaching consequences, and Zhang Xuezhou would have difficulty ensuring the number of people affected.

However, this situation represents the least impact on Mengtesi Badun and his colleagues; compared to what Mengtesi Badun was aware of, the current impact is negligible.

Especially now that Zhang Xuezhou has taken the lead, Mengtesi Badun and the others are unlikely to hold back. If they don't hide like Huang Daoxian, a counterattack will be inevitable, and they might even drag the Seven Spiders and other fire meteor creatures into the mess.

"The Seven Spiders are demonstrating their abilities to decide who will take the lead. Badun has already made an excuse to temporarily withdraw and hide. He asked when you can arrive, to avoid being called back!"

"It'll be soon, I'm looking for a rendezvous point!"

He used a magic staff to prop up a flag, saying it was hung very high!

"I see that red flag!"

"Two hundred meters west of the flag is the lair of the Hundred Eyes, also the gathering place of Badun and his men. It's said to be an underground tunnel running east to west. The Hundred Eyes guarding the entrance emits rays, so be careful not to touch them!"

Li Yingbo's voice was still echoing in his ears when Zhang Xuezhou spotted an abandoned urban underground railway tunnel.

In the pitch-black tunnel, tiny green lights kept appearing, much like an entrance to the depths of the Netherworld.

If Li Yingbo hadn't reminded him, Zhang Xuezhou would have truly mistaken it for someone putting on a show.

"Tiger Cub, I'm here!"

Upon learning that the other end of the underground tunnel was not blocked, Zhang Xuezhou shouted a greeting and then leaped inside.
