Returning to this blue planet again, Hei Yao couldn’t help but feel a bit uncertain.

He was indeed a little apprehensive.

Then he suddenly heard.

"What is that aura?" The cold-faced woman leading the group suddenly spoke.

The nine people behind Hei Yao almost moved simultaneously.

They all stood up at once, gathered by the side window of the space elevator, and frowned as they looked outside.

Outside, the clouds were rising rapidly.

The nine people’s eyes simultaneously lit up, staring intently at a certain spot in the mountain forest on the ground, locking onto the figure strolling there from afar.

A reminder came from the audio in the corner:

"Dear passengers, the elevator is about to decelerate. Please remain seated and fasten your seat belts. The restroom will be closed in three minutes."

One of the men or women suddenly clenched a fist, intending to smash the glass in front of them.

"Whoa! Whoa whoa!"

Hei Yao’s avatar jumped up and shouted in an exaggerated tone:

"What are you trying to do?"

"He’s right there!"

"We have already locked onto this aura," said the cold-faced woman in the lead calmly, "You’ve completed your task, rewards will follow later."

Hei Yao said somewhat speechlessly, "How can you be sure it’s him? Even if you’ve captured his aura, it might be a trap he set; he’s a very cunning opponent."

The normal passengers looked at these people somewhat baffled.

More figures appeared behind Hei Yao, all with aged faces, spiritual cultivators.

The leading woman snorted, "Trap? Have you ever seen such a simple trap?"

"Everyone, I ask you to listen to my advice once more."

Hei Yao said solemnly:

"As long as we reach the surface and enter the nearby city, or if we fly over now directly, enter this large industrial city, using the millions in the city as chips, he will reveal himself in less than an hour.

"I also felt the aura you’re talking about, it’s indeed the Black Storm.

"But if we rush in like this, it’s hundred percent not as good as the plan I proposed..."

Bang!

The glass pane instantly shattered.

Screams sounded around, and the whirring wind gushed in.

The nine men and women just coldly glanced at Hei Yao, then simultaneously leaped out, turning into black lights, aiming directly at the mountain forest where Wang Jixuan’s soul was located below.

Hei Yao shrugged, a bit helplessly looking at his ’old buddies’ behind him.

An old man smiled and said, "Leader, they don’t seem confident in your strategic abilities."

"Should we follow them, Leader?"

"No," Hei Yao shook his head, "Get ready to retreat. If they’re ambushed later, we’ll try to save three or four of them. If we can’t, it’s no big deal. Strike and retreat; don’t get yourself stuck here."

Several nodded simultaneously.

Hei Yao glanced at the screaming passengers beside him and waved his hand gently.

The passengers immediately bowed their heads unconscious and their souls quietly evaporated.

"Noisy fellows, you really are noisy."

Hei Yao’s eyes flickered continuously, indicating that this avatar of his was rapidly contemplating something.

The five people behind him also flew out, leaving him standing with his hands behind his back at the broken window, slightly lost in thought.

Below, spiritual energies had already started clashing.

The spiritual energy in the air was boiling.

...

When these nine figures jumped out of the space elevator towards the mountain forest below where Wang Jixuan’s soul was,

"It’s them!"

A female member of the team shouted in transmission, her voice carrying a bit of excitement.

Wang Jixuan looked up, the alien soul had already prepared to go all out, several magic treasures were already hovering at the edge of the storage ring.

He transmitted a question: "They have appeared, according to our agreement, you four should also reveal their identities."

"Dark Sect."

The woman explained briefly:

"They are members of the Dark Sect, among the nine there should be a leader, this leader at least has the end-stage Unification Realm strength.

"They are here to capture you."

"That’s all?" Wang Jixuan looked at the nine rapidly approaching black lights in the sky.

The woman sighed, "I truly can’t say much, it’s a rule we must follow or face Heaven’s Punishment."

"Who commands them?"

"This is a secret even we don’t know," the woman paused, continuing, "I only know that many among them were originally from our organization, but later degenerated or for other reasons, defected to the Dark Sect."

The nine black lights were already close.

Wang Jixuan’s alien soul felt the immense pressure above his head.

He remained calm, just gazing with hands behind back, asking, "Since you oppose them, are you from Ming Sect?"

"Not at all," the woman chuckled lightly, "You are really interesting, still collecting information even now... so why not come back with us? Once back, you’ll know everything."

Wang Jixuan laughed, "If I go back with you, I’ll lose all initiative."

No sooner had he finished speaking than the nine black lights had reached nearby.

Wang Jixuan’s right hand, which was clasped behind, swung up sharply, the sleeve of his loose robe enveloping a whirlwind.

A layer of golden light barrier appeared over Wang Jixuan’s head.

The large array activates!

The nine black lights crashed straight down!

This golden light barrier flickered relentlessly, causing large sections of the forest below to collapse and even the distant mountains to shake.

The golden light barrier did not shatter, and the nine figures above had shown their presence.

Another set of masks?

Master Wang squinted slightly, and said loudly, "Fellow Daoists of the Dark Sect! Since you’re here, why not visit Cloud City with me for a drink or two!"

He originally thought the other side would chat with him a bit too.

Unexpectedly;

The leading person on the other side snorted coldly, joined sword fingers and swept towards Wang Jixuan, and the nine people instantly took out over a dozen magic treasures, bombarding the light barrier below furiously.

"Capture him alive!"

Wang Jixuan’s lip twitched slightly, turned around and directly escaped with the wind.

Boom!

The light barrier erupted with a massive sound.

A shockwave arose fiercely, causing a massive collapse in the entire forest.

The large array Wang Jixuan had set up temporarily was mainly leveraging the terrain, with the array now broken, this suburban scenic spot was directly ruined.

Wang Jixuan’s form shot rapidly, his face showing urgency.

The nine people swept through the sky, several capturing magic treasures were thrown towards Wang Jixuan, nets wildly flying, golden bowls shimmering.

Wang Jixuan’s soul flickered like a solitary smoke, narrowly escaping danger continuously.

He suddenly turned and shouted: "Mu Dan, act now!"

The words had just fallen when hundreds of figures suddenly leapt swiftly from all directions.

The nine were startled.

But they quickly realized that these hundreds of figures were nothing more than silver-white robots.

"Hype!"

The leading woman snorted coldly, moving forward fiercely with the other eight.

Wang Jixuan’s soul unexpectedly halted, an eerie smile forming at the corners of his lips.

Beams of light suddenly burst from the robots.

The surrounding scenery transformed dramatically, layers of fog started to spread, the nine instantly lost their sense of direction, unable to distinguish even up from down or left from right.

Trapped array!

Indeed, these robots were not combat robots.

They were each a mobile array base!

All-terrain adaptable, capable of changing crystal cores and instantly transforming into self-destruct bombs.

This is the ultimate version of the drone array group that Master Wang created years ago, secretly developed by Mu Dan and Shen Qionglin.

Daoist clapped his hands, calmly stood outside the formation with hands behind back, turned to look towards the ambush hideouts of the four people.

The four were utterly stunned.

"Fellows, it’s your turn to perform."
