"You’ve already helped a lot now."
"It’s actually far less than what you initially gave ."
Dragonfly Lady shrugged, and suddenly changed the topic:
"There’s sothing I want to discuss with you, consider it a personal request from my end."
Dragonfly Lady pointed at Mu Dan.
Mu Dan clicked her tongue lightly: "I speak with the officer without any secrets."
"Yes," Wang Jixuan also said, "Nearly all the information for my external communications is handled by Mu Dan, so there’s no need to avoid her."
Dragonfly Lady blinked: "So, Mu Dan knows all your secrets?"
"Well, just a small portion," Mu Dan said sowhat dejectedly, "a very small portion."
The Daoist chuckled awkwardly: "Is there sothing you need my help with? Just say it."
"I want to seize power."
Dragonfly Lady calmly spoke these four words.
Wang Jixuan and Mu Dan both leaned back.
"Specifically?" Mu Dan asked.
"Is there a way that can make more powerful?"
Dragonfly Lady seed to be discussing sothing trivial.
"The weakness of the Nature Faction makes angry. My teachers are no longer considering things from the human standpoint; they have already been brainwashed by the Spirit Cultivators.
"After returning to the Spiritual Ability City, I have felt powerless more than once, a kind of powerlessness that sinks slowly in the Deep Sea.
"I can only make myself ignore them and do my own things well.
"Like you said, as long as you have a clear conscience, it’s enough.
"But in reality, after seeing the humans and warriors fighting fiercely on the frontlines, and then looking at these people, I always feel they are like carrion insects, leeches sucking blood on the skin... It would be better for to step out and change them."
Wang Jixuan suddenly laughed: "I advise you to give up this idea."
"Why?"
"Because the source of power determines the stance of all Spiritual Ability Users."
Wang Jixuan shrugged:
"As long as Spirit Cultivators exist, Spiritual Ability Users will only be their slaves.
"My suggestion is, don’t think about this anymore.
"You’ve already made many contributions, without your help, it would be even harder for the human military."
Dragonfly Lady sighed in defeat and smiled bitterly: "I really don’t want to continue living like this, I feel like I will be driven mad eventually."
"I think you can listen to Xiao Huating’s music and then have a good sleep."
Wang Jixuan got up to leave, taking Mu Dan with him:
"I can’t stay long, be careful in what you do after this."
Dragonfly Lady hesitated to speak, and just asked: "Don’t want to have one more drink?"
"What do you want to say?"
You want to say?
Just desires.
Dragonfly Lady wanted to try sothing exciting like a one-night stand, but when the words were about to co out, she felt embarrassed, so a sudden thought ca and she said:
"An intelligence report, an uncertain intelligence."
Dragonfly Lady folded her arms:
"I’m afraid to mislead you, so I’m hesitating whether to tell you."
Mu Dan, who had seen through the psychological activities of a certain middle-aged female Spiritual Ability User, calmly pushed the non-existent glasses on her nose and did not expose her.
Wang Jixuan innocently asked: "What intelligence? Just say it. Rest assured, even if you say Spiritual Ability City is about to launch a major attack on D5, I wouldn’t have the slightest intention to intervene."
"That’s good."
Dragonfly Lady responded a bit perfunctorily, and found a piece of intelligence she considered not too important, to share with Wang Jixuan.
...
In the icy and snowy land, Wang Jixuan used Water Escape, swiftly sliding beneath the thick ice layers.
He had left Spiritual Ability City, heading straight north.
The intelligence provided by Dragonfly Lady indeed piqued his interest.
’Near the North Pole, there is a special laboratory that has existed for more than sixty years.’
’It has always been in an absolutely secret state, guarded by two SS-level Spiritual Ability Users outside the Six Elders. Those two powerful Spiritual Ability Users don’t usually appear in the Spiritual Ability City. Even my teachers are secretive about their identities.’
’But the resources there are transferred from the Spiritual Ability City, so I got hold of the supply lists they need.’
’Based on my speculation, there are thousands of people stationed there year-round, including hundreds of Spiritual Ability Users, with large amounts of equipnt parts constantly sent over, making suspect there might be a huge... drilling operation there.’
’They don’t know what they are drilling for. If it hasn’t stopped for sixty years, and with the techniques of Spirit Cultivators being utilized, they might almost be drilling through the Earth.’
’I noticed this intelligence a few months ago, intending to sell it to the human military, but no one has asked about this matter.’
The information Dragonfly Lady provided might turn out to be crucial.
She doesn’t know what’s underground, but Wang Jixuan does.
The relics of that Ancient Civilization are hidden in the deepest underground.
No. 6 Spiritual Ability User once said they found a way to enter the relic, which might refer to this thod... physically drilling down.
The doubts followed.
With humanity’s current technology, dense rock layers aren’t easy to penetrate, and the high temperatures underground should be difficult to continuously withstand. Given Earth’s radius is several thousand kiloters, they are unlikely to actually reach the massive Spiritual Energy Group circling the Earth’s core by drilling.
In any case, investigate closer.
Anyway, there is Spiritual Sense, just don’t approach recklessly.
"Commander," Mu Dan asked, "should I first share the intelligence with the Commander?"
"Yes, share it, you don’t need to ask about these requests in the future."
"Yes."
At the edge of Wang Jixuan’s Spiritual Sense, he had already detected an area of igloos, roughly the scale of a town with a thousand people, with many Spiritual Ability Users patrolling.
This indicated the right place had been found.
Beneath the cluster of igloos, in the dark seawater, several huge pipelines extended downwards, connecting to the arched structure built on the seabed.
