Why did you provoke me?

Hua Shulang's confusion didn't last long. She took out her communication bell and sent a message to Jing San.

"Third Brother, the Fourth Battlefield is sealed off. Where am I supposed to find you?"

Jing San knew about Hua Shulang's special status, so he dared not arrange his whereabouts casually.

After asking Yu Meng for her opinion, he then sent a message to Hua Shulang: "Teacher Yu means that Aunt Qing misses you. You should go back to Jingchuan to visit them. Then go to the sect for further studies."

Niannian whispered a reminder from the side, "Third Brother, Aunt Qing and the others are on the front lines."

Jing San paused for a moment, "Telling a little white lie won't hurt. With his current strength, sending him to the first battlefield would be detrimental to him. This is a white lie, and he will understand."

After saying that, he secretly glanced at Yu Meng.

"Let him go back to Jingchuan. One more or one less won't make a difference to the First Battlefield."

Jing San looked at the communicator in her hand. "Teacher Yu, the Jia family asked if we should send a plane over?"

"No need, Secretary Wu has already made the arrangements." Yu Meng picked up her things. "Let's go now, there's a car waiting for us outside."

It was already late at night when we arrived at the first battlefield.

But it was not a quiet night on the battlefield.

Groups of people were evacuating in an orderly fashion. Yu Meng and her two companions' entry into the battlefield attracted a lot of attention.

Jingwu stood not far away, and the moment she saw Yu Meng, tears almost welled up in her eyes.

He strode forward. "Teacher Yu, shall I take you to a place to rest?"

Yu Meng waved her hand. "I dozed off for a bit on the plane. Tell me about the current situation. Have we suffered any casualties?"

"Throughout the entire battlefield, in just one day, it seems the aliens have consumed a nutrient solution; they've grown and transformed rapidly. Their characteristics have also changed drastically. There are a few injured people at the experimental site, but no one has died yet."

Yu Meng had a better understanding of the situation. "What about the other forces?"

Jingwu pursed his lips. "Some teams came to report that their personnel were missing and asked us for help in finding them." He lowered his head. "I didn't agree."

"When they entered the battlefield, were the regulations shown to them, and were they given a letter of intent signed?" Yu Meng asked as they walked.

"These are all complete," Jingwu replied immediately.

"We fulfilled our obligation to inform them; entering the battlefield was their personal choice." Yu Meng didn't blame Jing Wu. She was a good person to keep her own people in mind.

"I want to know which place has the worst alien riots?"

"I asked the old people in this battlefield, and they all said it was in the original dense forest. I went there myself, but I didn't dare to go deep in. That place is expanding outward at a rate of 10 centimeters per day."

"What's expanding? Aliens or something else?" Niannian asked.

"Aliens. All sorts of aliens seemed to have suddenly appeared from that place. Most of the injured and missing people are in that place."

"Where are Aunt Qing and Teacher Sun?" Yu Meng asked.

"The two teachers have been there the whole time, as has the Jia family's bone-drawing master, but they'll only stay one more night. They'll be leaving the battlefield at seven o'clock tomorrow. It's said to be an order from the Jia family patriarch."

Yu Meng turned to look at Jing San, "Have Jing Yi and Jing Er bring their teams to the first battlefield. The Jia family's bone painters have withdrawn; let them take their place."

Upon hearing this, Jingwu asked in a low voice, "Teacher Yu, do you agree to let the Jia family's bone-drawing master leave? Half of the profits in this battle went to them."

Yu Meng asked in confusion, "They haven't caused any trouble these past two days?"

Jingwu's face immediately turned angry. "They made a scene? Of course they made a scene! If I hadn't used Teacher Yu's influence to put them in their place, they would have left two days ago."

"That settles it."

Niannian quickened her pace and leaned against Yu Meng's side. "Fourth Sister, people in our sect are very interested in energy. I wonder if there's enough? Enough for everyone to share?"

Yu Meng tapped her forehead with her finger. "So we need to clear the area."

Jingwu was a little confused; neither of the two teachers, nor even her third brother, seemed nervous.

It's as if this isn't a bad thing, but rather a great thing?

Yu Meng glanced at Jing Wu, while Jing San smiled and explained from the side, "Old Wu arrived a bit late; his group hasn't gotten to the energy absorption part yet."

"Fourth Sister, you forgot about Jing Si just now. If the people in their group find out you forgot about them, they'll torment Liu Wei to death." She finished speaking and chuckled.

"Hmph, then send a message to Liu Wei and tell him to delay for another day, so that his group can see the benefits of having a powerful backer," Jing San suggested from the side.

Yu Meng glanced at Jing San again. That cunning guy. If Liu Wei and the others had arrived a day later, they could have absorbed more.

Yu Meng's lips curled up. "Is it possible that they're already here?"

"Huh? How could this be? Who sent them?" Niannian and Jingsan were both stunned.

"Who else could it be but Uncle Wu? Less than half an hour after the incident at the First Battlefield, Liu Wei went to find Uncle Wu and said they were going to provide support at the First Battlefield," Yu Meng said, suppressing a laugh.

"Did Uncle Wu agree?"

"He definitely agreed. Liu Wei's team members are all eccentrics. Who would miss an opportunity to increase their energy? I suspect that Liu Wei going to Uncle Wu was probably instigated by them behind the scenes," Jing San analyzed.

Jingwu led the way silently. He understood that this outbreak of aliens was a huge disaster for him, but for the others in the sect, it seemed to be a great opportunity.

Jing Wu slowly moved towards Jing San's direction. "Third Brother, can I learn that energy absorption skill?"

Jing San glanced at Yu Meng, reached out and patted his shoulder, "You're the fifth in the Jing family. If you can't learn this, then no one else can."

Jingwu felt relieved. He had been worried that Teacher Yu might not trust him and might not be willing to teach him this kind of sect skill.

"Then I'll send a message to the Jia family and tell them that Teacher Yu has agreed to their withdrawal. As for the division of profits, we'll talk about that later." Jingwu finished speaking and looked at Yu Meng.

"The last sentence is unnecessary to say. If you can take on the entire battlefield, we can play by ourselves without them." These were the words of Nian Nian.

Yu Meng nodded, "If they withdraw at this time, it's like they're abandoning each other when disaster strikes. We don't need to emphasize sharing the good times."

"Fourth Sister, I know that place. Shall Third Brother and I go there now?"

Jing San nodded hurriedly, "I will take good care of Niannian and make sure she doesn't get hurt in the slightest."

Yu Meng knew their minds were already elsewhere, so she let them pass. "We'll go together. You two go check on Aunt Qing and Teacher Sun first, then go about your own business. Try to avoid people around."

"Okay. And what about you?" Niannian asked.

"I'm going to act alone; I'm going to find the source and see what's going on."

Niannian nodded, grabbed Jing San, and immediately disappeared into the darkness.
