In the end of the world, I become an immortal alone.

Chapter 381 Bare fangs
Looking at the strange but extremely dangerous black air, Taoist Wang really wanted to complain about this ancient remnant spirit.

Is there really someone so stupid?
The best teacher is the one who teaches his disciples without hiding anything.
But teaching others your weaknesses and the ways to overcome them is sheer stupidity.

However, before Wang Jixuan could curse, the situation outside changed again.

The bronze puppet successfully retreated back to the inner side of the array light wall;
The outer grey air had been washed away by the grainy black air;
Just as the black air was about to erode the light wall of the formation, a row of hundreds of slender golden gun barrels suddenly rose up on the city wall.

In just three seconds, all the gun barrels fired at the same time.

Segments of red 'lasers' shot out, and the black air was instantly pierced and evaporated by the powerful spiritual energy. As a result, the dozens of spirit slaves who were about to rush up from the periphery were instantly submerged and pierced by the red light.

Screams rang out one after another, and half of the bodies of dozens of people were burned and melted.

The remaining half turned around and ran away when they saw something was wrong.

Hundreds of golden cannons on the city walls started rapid-fire mode, as if the gunners were venting their anger. The low grey sky and earth outside the city were illuminated red by the desolate red light.

Of this group of spirit slaves, only the eight strongest ones escaped in the end...

That's because they have enough spiritual energy in their bodies to withstand this red light that burns everything.

Inside the defense command hall of the Cloud City.

The ancient remnant spirit He Ruli, whose whole body was tense, slowly fell to the ground, as if she had lost all her strength. She kept breathing heavily through her nose and her body was shaking slightly.

This is because of anger;
She seemed to be out of anger.

Wang Jixuan was a little puzzled. He turned his head and looked at this "old witch". He wanted to complain just now, but now he couldn't help but feel a little curious.

"what's the situation?"

"I'm sorry, great pioneer," He Ruli responded coldly, "I need to calm down. Please go and rest first. There is nothing serious here... I will open the planet barrier immediately."

Wang Jixuan nodded in response without asking any further questions.

He said hello and left with everyone.

Amina hesitated and winked at Wang Jixuan; she took the initiative to stay and express her concern for this ancient remnant spirit.

Wang Jixuan and his companions returned to the main hall where they had recently lived and briefly discussed the incident.

This spirit slave that suddenly appeared;
The dark force led by a spiritual practitioner named Black Obsidian;

Weird, grainy black air;

He Ruli's rage, and the true show of force of the Cloud City;
and many more.

After they arrived at the Cloud City, although there were conflicts and twists and turns, there were generally no direct contradictions.

It was simply that He Ruli had plotted against Wang Jixuan, and Wang Jixuan wanted to make trouble for her, while He Ruli held in her hands the protective weapon that the surface civilization of this planet urgently needed - the planetary barrier.

So Wang Jixuan could only keep testing her, and there was no way he could directly break up with her.

The two sides maintained this tacit understanding and pulled each other back and forth.

This is actually a kind of negotiation.

Whether it is Wang Jixuan's assertiveness or He Ruli's weakness, in the final analysis they are all negotiation tactics.

But now, with the emergence of the third force and bloodshed outside the city, the atmosphere inside the Cloud City suddenly became more tense.

"Horulli seemed very angry just now," Nilda Tamon said in a deep voice.

"I finally found it."

Zheng Shiduo scratched his head and muttered:
"Good boy, they haven't really dealt with us yet?
"Did you see that just now?
“When the cannons hidden on the city walls lit up, a bird’s-eye view of the city appeared on a large screen, with at least several thousand grey dots on it!
“Only the one hundred or so dots corresponding to that section of the wall turned green.

"There are so many weapon systems installed in this city?"

Wang Jixuan crossed his arms and said, "She originally wanted something from us, and she even schemed against us... Ji Xiao and Wu Man?"

"Teacher Wong!"

"Sir, you say."

Wang Jixuan casually threw out a stack of high-level soul-capturing talismans and gave them two balls of demonic energy for protection.

"Go quickly and come back quickly. Go over the city wall and collect the remaining souls outside. Collect as many as you can. Let's take a look at their memories."

"Yes!"

The two men turned around and ran. Ji Xiao pulled Wu Man and tried to perform an escape technique, but was gently rejected by the layer of light film on the ground.

They could only use the magic talisman to run away.

Nilda said, "I can fly. I will take them with me."

"Okay, I'll trouble you then, sir."

Wang Jixuan said politely and stared at Nilda Tamer's back in a daze.

Zheng Shiduo asked: "Brother Wang, how powerful do you think Hei Yao's group of spiritual practitioners are now?"

"It's hard to say," Wang Jixuan shook his head. "Let's wait for Amina to come back. She will definitely be able to get some information out of us. There's too much information we need to know right now."

……

Amina, Wu Man and others arrived in front of Wang Jixuan one after another.

Wang Jixuan's prediction was correct, Amina asked for some useful information.

“The reason why He Ruli was shocked just now was because the black air that looked like a group of insects came from the hostile civilization of the Ina civilization.

“That was the foreign enemy that the opposition had contacted in the first place.

“That civilization should have died out. In that war, not only the Ina civilization suffered heavy losses, but that civilization as well.

"However, it seems that the Obsidian gang has not only stolen a large amount of psychic technology left by the Ina civilization."

Wang Jixuan asked: "Does that hostile civilization have a name?"

"Hasami Anuraya... it's just some transliterated syllables."

"Okay," Wang Jixuan rubbed his brows, "They should just be testing. The fake spirit slaves are related to them, but the good news is that they now have differences with the blade beasts."

Amina nodded slightly: "The blade beasts are huge in size, and they are unlikely to be manipulated by a small group of spiritual practitioners. The Garinos also have a high level of intelligence."

Wang Jixuan asked: "How is He Ruli's current condition?"

"Are you concerned about her?"

"Care? I just want to ask if the planet barrier has been opened."

"It has just been opened," Amina said, "I can feel that this planet is wrapped in a strange energy. However, the planet barrier is not a planetary formation. It can only hinder the positioning of the interstellar gate and delay some time. As long as the blade beast opens the interstellar gate near Mars, it will not be a problem for it to rush over across space."

"Isn't that why we came here just for this little bit of time?"

Wang Jixuan smiled:

“Now that the goal has been achieved, other things will be easy.

"He Ruli schemed against me. I must get back at her, make her pay the price, and get the corresponding compensation..."

"gentlemen!"

Wu Man’s shout was heard.

Neil Damon descended from the sky with Wu Man and Ji Xiao.

Four of the soul-stealing charms in their hands have been lit up.

Ji Xiao explained quickly: "The golden cannon on the city wall is too powerful. We can't find any complete souls at all. We can't capture the remaining souls with a little spirituality. We only found four with half a breath left. After killing them, we put their souls in here!"

Wang Jixuan: ...

No, why not just bring the prisoners back when you find them!
Isn't it redundant to kill the person and then take his soul?

But it's pretty much the same.

Taoist priest Wang pointed his sword and four talismans unfolded at the same time, and the four imprisoned shadows inside them appeared at the same time.

Nilda watched with great interest, her eyes full of curiosity and thirst for knowledge.

Wang Jixuan snapped his fingers, and four red lotuses blossomed under the feet of the four souls. A cluster of flames appeared in the center of the lotuses, and the four souls screamed in agony.

Afterwards, Taoist Wang used the black energy to condense into small pocket-sized swords, and performed the ritual of ten thousand swords piercing the hearts on the four souls several times.

After several ordeals, these four souls were on the verge of destruction.

The pain here is a hundred times more severe than the physical torture.

Zheng Shiduo swallowed his saliva: "Brother, shouldn't we ask first?"

"Ok?"

Wang Jixuan smiled and said:
"Look at their determined eyes, full of the imperfect beauty of brainwashing. If we ask them directly, they will definitely be stubborn. Then we will torture them and interrogate them.

"Then why not skip this useless interrogation?"

Everyone actually thought this made sense.

Sure enough, when Wang Jixuan interrogated them again, the four residual souls began to rush to answer, begging them to give them a quick death.

Unfortunately, the information provided by the remnant soul is very limited.

This group of people are all humans from Earth, and they have received psychic infusion and awakening in the last twenty years.

They don't know what spiritual slaves and spiritual practitioners are.

According to them, they have lived in ice and snow since they were young, and were told that the human world had been destroyed by the blade beast disaster. They escaped by hiding in Antarctica.

They are not loyal to spiritual practitioners, but to a core circuit embedded in the wall, which is guarded by many powerful spiritual slaves.

They call this core circuit the 'Seal of God', and they are the messengers of God.

The gods never appear directly, but give oracles.

This time they received the oracle and arrived here following the guidance of the divine seal.

There are several key pieces of information here.

Antarctica;

Divine Seal and Oracle.

Wang Jixuan scratched his brow and said, "Can we communicate with the ground? Let Lao Fu and the others investigate Antarctica."

Amina immediately said, "I'll go talk to He Ruli."

She turned and hurried away.

Wang Jixuan waved his hand and said, "Ji Xiao, continue to interrogate them. If you can't find any evidence, dig up the details. Don't waste the value of these prisoners."

"Yes," Ji Xiao took off the four talismans with a serious face.

Wang Jixuan put his hands behind his back and lowered his head to think for a while.

Gao Huating, who had been silent the whole time, asked: "What can we do now?"

"There's nothing we can do. The enemy is in the dark and we are in the light."

Wang Jixuan said:

“The group of spiritual practitioners led by Hei Yao were not injured. They have maintained a good relationship with the blade beasts. Their strength is probably stronger than that of ordinary spiritual practitioners in their peak state.

“The best-case scenario right now is that there is only one leaf on Earth.

"According to my current understanding, she should have taken out her core circuit in order to pursue the path of immortal cultivation.

“It’s the divine seal that these souls just mentioned.

"Then she took a low-level external alchemy path. She was probably fooled by someone."

The person who deceived Ye Zi might still be the wanderer in the three realms.

Wang Jixuan continued to analyze: "If there is only one leaf on Earth, the planet barrier has been opened, and no one else can be teleported here, then we still have a little advantage."

Nilda Tammon reminded: "They took away a lot of the Ina civilization's advanced technology."

"Wu Man, go chase after Amina and see if you can get her to ask He Ruli for a list of the technologies those guys took away."

"Yes."

Wu Man turned and ran away.

Wang Jixuan looked at Gao Huating and blinked gently.

Gao Huating was stunned for a few seconds, then she reacted, nodded slightly to Wang Jixuan, turned and left.

Taking advantage of the chaotic situation and the fact that everyone's attention was not on Gao Huating, she successfully placed the jade talisman given by Wang Jixuan to the designated location.

This is just a backup plan.

This will prevent us from being too passive when we really fall out with He Ruli.

"Brother Wang," Lao Zheng asked, "will they make any further moves next?"

"I guess they are asking for help. Ye Zi has actually messed this up. There is a possibility that new spiritual practitioners will come to Earth."

"Messed up?"

"Well, the last time Ye Zi arrived here, she came alone. She took away the two most important souls here, and completely offended He Ruli, making it impossible for their cooperation to continue."

Wang Jixuan walked to the corner, got a bottle of water, drank a few sips leisurely, and walked towards his rest room.

“Wait for the news.

"If it is a blessing, it is not a disaster. If it is a disaster, it is inevitable.

“The defense here is strong enough, even if the world is destroyed, we can continue to live here.

"I'm going to continue my research... ahem, practice."

……

In the following days, the Cloud City remained as peaceful as ever, with a hint of dead silence in the peace.

With the help of He Ruli, Amina successfully sent a message to Fu Jian.

Fu Jian has begun sending people to investigate the situation in Antarctica.

According to Fu Jian's feedback, they had originally attempted to build a fortress in Antarctica, but because the transportation of supplies was too difficult and the four oceans were gradually blocked by blade beasts, the development plan there had to be abandoned halfway.

According to real-time satellite monitoring, there are no traces of buildings there, but it cannot be ruled out that someone has used large-scale realistic camouflage technology.

Now that the Blade Beasts are in full strategic retreat, it won't be too difficult to explore Antarctica, and results will be available soon.

Ji Xiao interrogated the four residual souls for a day and a night, and finally used Buddhism to put an end to these residual souls' lives, which were not considered sinful.

They are not really evil people.

Although they have opposing positions, these residual souls have lived in the underground base in Antarctica since childhood.

They abide by the law, love life, and risk their lives to become psychics (they call themselves believers in God). They do things respectfully according to the oracles. This is their first mission.

Those high-level spirit slaves who escaped should have more information.

In addition, Fu Jian also reported through this temporary communication channel that the planet barrier had been opened and they detected a thin layer of psychic energy fluctuations on the periphery of the planet.

Many space detection instruments may malfunction when approaching this area.

Now, the blade beast has not made any unusual movements, and the spiritual criminal gang headed by Obsidian has not yet fully appeared, so Wang Jixuan is happy to relax and immerse himself in the "inner world" of the bronze puppet.

His equipment refining techniques and concepts cannot be said to have improved by leaps and bounds, but they can be said to be changing with each passing day!
Ina civilization completely opened the door to a new world for him!
This is the accumulation of years, and it is also the crystallization of wisdom from generations of a civilization close to a high level.

For him, this is the greatest treasure of this place.

However, just when Wang Jixuan was thinking of going into seclusion here for a long time and wanted to talk to He Ruli about the rental price of the house, He Ruli took the initiative to visit him.

This time it was her remaining spirit that came.

She had already thought of a solution to the condition proposed by Wang Jixuan.
