"You! They are descendants of the Xiao Family, and by blood, you are also their kin!" Xiao Yefeng exclaimed angrily.
"The Xiao Family! Forget it! If this were some time ago, I might have softened, but I am no longer that half of myself! Quickly carve the correct map for me!" As Xiao Yefeng spoke, he noticed a change in Xiao Wenxin; her black-and-white pupils had transformed into pure black, and her entire aura had turned cold, as if emanating a presence from the Nine Hells.
"Quickly, Wind! The child is important!" Elder Yuqing's words jolted Xiao Yefeng awake. He immediately pressed his hand on the recruitment scroll. With the last fragment of his memory, the map was completed, and light flowed around him. Without hesitation, Xiao Yefeng looked at the Master and demanded, "Where is my child?" His voice was filled with desperation and anger.
At that moment, Xiao Wenxin saw the recruitment scroll rise into the air and threw out a card from her sleeve. On the card that Xiao Yefeng caught were the words: Lava Forging Grounds.
"Fei! Quickly inform the President to send a team to find the Lava Forging Grounds! Mo Ran and Mo Han are hanging above the lava furnace; the ice is about to melt, and the child's life is in danger!" Xiao Yefeng hurriedly called Mo Fei, and without waiting for a response, he hung up.
On the other end, Mo Fei jumped up from his chair as if pricked by a needle. While contacting Jiang Xing, he mobilized all personnel to search for the Lava Forging Grounds. After receiving three location coordinates, Mo Fei immediately donned his combat suit, strapped on his beloved Battle Blade, and picked up his submachine gun. Although he had lost some of his cultivation power, he was still one of the best scouts among mercenaries back in the day.
There were three damn forging grounds with the same name. With three teams dispatched, Mo Fei was closest to one of them, so he drove straight to that location.
Meanwhile, Xiao Yefeng looked at the Master and asked, "How many people have you imprisoned?" He was puzzled; there had been no news of anyone taking away the two children! Did Xiao Wenxin know about his plan? That shouldn't be possible!
"Child! You think you can outsmart me? You're still too naive! Let me tell you! All three forging grounds are places I have meticulously calculated. However, I am not so shameless! Each place has someone there—your child, your wife, and two others I randomly selected! If you want to save them, it will depend on whether your rescuers have enough courage!" Xiao Wenxin replied coldly.
"Alright! Let's go! The Higher Dimension Passage has been opened! Did you bring your Heart of Civilization?" Xiao Wenxin asked.
"I brought it!" With a wave of his hand, Xiao Yefeng produced the Heart of Civilization. Then he and Xiao Wenxin stepped through the Dimension Gate one after another. Han Duhuo and Long Dao Yi followed closely behind to monitor each other's entry into the gate to ensure they wouldn't be ambushed. Finally, Beast Elder stepped into the Dimension Gate as well.
The Dimension Gate could accommodate twenty people. Just as Beast Elder entered, the recruitment scroll began to spin and returned to its normal state. At that moment when everyone disappeared, those on Huaxia's side pressed their communicators and reported: "The Dimension Gate has vanished! Awaiting personnel from the forging grounds to be in position!"
"Team One is five minutes away from Forging Ground One!"
"Team Two is three minutes away from Forging Ground Two!"
“Mo Fei has arrived at Steel Forge No. 3!”
Three reports came in, and indeed, Mo Fei had raced over, arriving in just a few minutes due to the relatively short distance. At that moment, a soldier on the ship said, “According to Major Xiao’s recent conversation, there are hostages in all three steel forges: Major Xiao’s child and wife, along with two randomly selected hostages! All teams, be aware that Perfect World has set up an ambush at the steel forges. Stay alert! The rescue team is to wait for the signal from Team Three and must not act independently!”
At this moment, a thrilling rescue operation was unfolding on Earth, a cunning fox preparing to ambush and save the hostages against a wily wolf. One side had already discovered the location of the hostages and intended to launch a surprise rescue, while the other side was calculating and scheming, even without knowledge of the opponent's actions.
Neither side was acting according to their initial agreement; neither could be considered honorable. Yet because of this, both sides found themselves in a stalemate. Meanwhile, within the Higher Dimension Passage, twenty experts were calculating against each other, their gazes locked. This tense situation had persisted since their entry, with all information about Earth being sealed off. Everyone inside the Higher Dimension Passage was on high alert.
At this moment, Xiao Yefeng spoke up, “Why don’t you want to go to the other side and open the passage with the Four Sacred Artifacts? Why aren’t you leaving?”
“You’re not making a move!” Xiao Wenxin replied.
“Making a move on what?” Xiao Yefeng countered.
This response left Xiao Wenxin momentarily confused. However, it was good news for him; he was pleased that Xiao Yefeng and his group were not taking action. Thus, following the map formed by combining four separate maps, a group of twenty people twisted and turned through countless distorted death exits created by dimensional laws until they finally reached the end of the map!
However, upon arrival, they discovered that everything was different from what they had anticipated! The location of the Four Sacred Artifacts was completely different from their original plan. According to the map, the Eight Directions Seal suppressed the energy at the very end, with the Mechanism Network and Spirit Binding Silver Nail flanking either side of the exit. The Heart of Civilization needed to be embedded in the gap of the exit passage. At this moment, Beast Elder held the Eight Directions Seal at the back, flanked by two armored warriors holding silver nails and Mechanism Network respectively!
Xiao Yefeng and Xiao Wenxin stood at the forefront; clearly, Xiao Wenxin was supervising Xiao Yefeng's actions. The convoluted path they had taken made them uneasy; it was evident that Xiao Yefeng had been outmaneuvered. The length of this passage was unimaginable; it took nearly two minutes to reach this point. Yet what seemed like a short distance was fraught with peril.
Xiao Yefeng looked at everyone, intending to ask if they were ready. At that moment, when he glanced at his own people, Xiao Wenxin also looked at others; both asked simultaneously if their teams were prepared!
After receiving confirmation from his team, Xiao Yefeng took out the Heart of Civilization and inserted it into the gap first. Seeing Xiao Yefeng take action, members of Perfect World swiftly inserted their sacred artifacts into the gap as well. In an instant, white light flashed within the passage as the Heart of Civilization emitted a dazzling glow. In that moment, all four sacred artifacts seemed to freeze as they merged into the gap. Witnessing this scene left Xiao Yefeng and his companions stunned.
Initially worried that their Four Sacred Artifacts would be protected and taken away by opposing forces, they had allowed so many people to enter. Now in this situation, in a blink of an eye, other nine members slightly stepped back while the area where Heart of Civilization resided began to dissolve gradually. As a crack appeared, a powerful Qi surged into the passage while sounds of clashing weapons echoed through as well.
Just when Xiao Wenxin thought that Xiao Yefeng and the others were too late to act, a furious roar came from the Low-Level Plane, where a crack had just begun to open. The voice shouted, "Shatter the Heart of Civilization immediately! Stop the passage from opening!"
Both Xiao Yefeng and Xiao Wenxin heard this voice at the same time. Xiao Yefeng recognized it as the voice of the God of Sorcery, while Xiao Wenxin was even more familiar with it, as it belonged to their old master!
"Continue with the plan! We'll hold him off for you!"
"That's right! The Heart of Civilization cannot be shattered by ordinary attacks; otherwise, it can be reformed! We must destroy it according to the plan!"
The voices of Wu Kui and Ye followed one after another. At this moment, both Xiao Yefeng and Xiao Wenxin were taken aback, but they quickly sprang into action. The Yin-Yang Sword suddenly appeared, reaching out toward the Heart of Civilization in Xiao Wenxin's hands.
As Xiao Yefeng acted, the nine people behind him erupted into action as well. In an instant, chaos broke out within the half-open Higher Dimension Passage. Why did the God of Sorcery want to prevent the opening of the Higher Dimension Passage while Wu Kui and the others insisted on its activation?
It was because the Higher Dimension Passage was drawn forth by the power of the God of Sorcery. This was also why the God of Sorcery feared that someone might secretly establish a connection to Earth. Naturally, opening the passage required drawing power from the God of Sorcery. At this moment, the God of Sorcery was forced into a full battle against Ye, who had suddenly appeared, while Wu Kui had fully restored his Spirit and was watching closely. The God of Sorcery was already at a disadvantage in a one-on-two situation; if he were to have his power forcibly extracted to open the Higher Dimension Passage, it would be akin to digging his own grave.
Thus, both sides shifted positions again. Xiao Yefeng pushed back Xiao Wenxin with his sword; however, at that moment, Xiao Wenxin took out a long sword from a Metal Space Ring on her finger. This sword was clearly also a product of the Low-Level Plane and remained unscathed upon clashing with the Yin-Yang Sword! In an instant, the two engaged in fierce combat. Yet at this moment, Xiao Yefeng realized something was off about Xiao Wenxin! Her swordplay was cold and filled with hatred, which did not match what he had seen from Mr. Xiao before. Moreover, there was no trace of Xiao Family techniques in her offense and defense!
Even after exchanging blows just now, Xiao Yefeng's Intercepting Finger had successfully gained him some advantage by sealing off Xiao Wenxin's left shoulder meridian. How could Mr. Xiao, who mastered Intercepting Finger, not know how to defend against its power? And indeed, this was true; at this moment, Xiao Wenxin's swordplay was filled with howls and wails. That last punch had great force but lacked any application of Intercepting Finger!
"You are not Xiao Wenxin! Who are you?" After pushing back Xiao Wenxin with his sword, Xiao Yefeng exclaimed angrily! The reason for this situation was that he had once again sealed her left rib meridian with Intercepting Finger's power. However, under her violent rage, Xiao Wenxin forcefully broke through Xiao Yefeng's blockade against her meridian; this was not how one would resolve an Intercepting Finger attack!
