’I am nothing but a piece of surveillance equipment right now,’ Wang Jixuan tried to calm his eagerness for battle.
Black Shell gave a reminder, "We’re about to transition to the surface, pick a spot to park the shuttle, and once we’re down, don’t stray more than five meters from me, follow me."
"Okay, instructor," Wang Jixuan replied with ease.
"Hm?" Black Shell was a bit puzzled.
Why was Mr. Wang so agreeable this time?
Before leaving the shuttle to rush to the surface, Wang Jixuan took another glance at Ji Xiao and Ji Yale’s position, silently praying for the two brothers in his heart.
Just as Master Wang was about to jump out, he remembered something and sent a message to Ji Xiao and Ji Yale.
[Commander A1: Open your minds.]
As for what thoughts to open, Master Wang indicated that he did not have a clue, he simply wanted to give them a bit of direction.
A few minutes later, Ji Xiao and Ji Yale, who were sharing a ride in a shuttle, received the message and couldn’t help but exchange glances.
"What does Mr. Wang mean by this?"
"How should I know! Run for your lives! We haven’t saved enough people yet, and according to Buddhist Scripture, we are to descend into the eighteen levels of Hell, subjected to endless severe torture!"
"Open your minds... Mr. Wang must be hinting at something, have you ever heard Mr. Wang talk nonsense..."
Ji Xiao’s eyes lit up, and suddenly, with a flash of inspiration, he asked excitedly:
"How about we surrender?"
"Damn it! Go back and get tormented by that old devil Xing Dian? Better to just die! My wife is still in D5."
"Oh, come on, feign surrender, I mean feign surrender!"
Ji Xiao’s slightly round face looked somewhat helpless: "I’m not telling you to really surrender! We’ll inform Mr. Wang first, then jump out pretending to surrender and have them take us to Xing Dian!"
"We’ll play by ear, and if it comes to it, we’ll fight it out."
"All sentient beings suffer, how pitiful, how sad.
"We’ve done so much evil in the past, if now we have the chance to eliminate demons and protect the people, we must cherish it."
Ji Yale also sighed: "Buddha is merciful."
Peony, who was monitoring the two of them, couldn’t help but frown upon hearing this.
She knew quite a lot about Daoist Wang.
Not to mention anything else, Daoist Wang’s methods of transforming people’s hearts with Buddhist Law, in Peony’s view... were actually more potent than those that emitted black smoke.
Peony muttered to herself but still faithfully conveyed the information to Wang Jixuan and Black Shell, who were now sprinting close to the ground toward the Snow Mountain Base.
"Feign surrender? Fine, let them try it."
Black Shell reminded, "They know a lot of our secrets, including the Seven Star Sword Formation."
"No problem, they have self-destruct chips in their heads," Wang Jixuan said, "Peony, I’m giving you the authority; it’s up to you whether to detonate the chips."
Wang Jixuan looked ahead at the majestic Snow Mountain.
They were already at an elevation of several thousand meters, with the terrain gradually rising, and the underground environment was extremely complicated.
Soon, they were only twelve kilometers away from the Snow Mountain Base in a straight line.
Suddenly, Wang Jixuan gave a hand signal; Black Shell and Peony both braked at the same time, hiding with him in the crevices of a glacial river valley.
"I’ll try to scout ahead; there are their sentries just beyond here, and there are a lot of them."
Black Shell asked, "Isn’t it still far?"
"No worries, I have a secret technique that can give me a rough look."
Daoist Wang opened his helmet’s visor, took out a silver needle, drew a light breath, administered three needles to his forehead, and his hands moved at high speed in the sword finger gesture.
Mud Pill Palace vibrates and Purple Mansion appears, I search through the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths!
A faint blue glow emerged around Wang Jixuan.
