Chapter 128 An Existential Crisis

Inside Jiang Xiao's Calamity Shadow Training Space in the Calamity Shadow World.

"Xiao Tao," Martha said, pausing her fighting knife and taking two steps back.

"Hah... hah..." Chen Lingtao gasped for breath, looking at the beautiful, charming, yet terrifying young woman before him. He involuntarily took half a step back.

Has Master taken pity? Is she going to let me rest?

Martha looked slightly embarrassed and said, "I have something to tell you."

"Yes, Master," Chen Lingtao said respectfully.

"Uh..." Looking at Chen Lingtao's respectful demeanor, Martha thought to herself, *I wonder if you can maintain this attitude after I tell you this news.*

Martha asked, "Do you know about Other Spheres?"

"Other Spheres?" Chen Lingtao was taken aback for a moment, then nodded and said, "I know the concept. Lower spatial dimensions can enter upper spatial dimensions through the Sacred Ruins, and then enter Other Spheres through the Sacred Ruins.

"And I've also heard that the positions of the Other Spheres and Earth may overlap to some extent. Our Earth may merge with an Other Sphere at any time."

"Yes, very good." Martha nodded. As a core disciple of the Yi family, it was no surprise that he knew this information, which saved her some explanation.

"What's wrong? Master?" Chen Lingtao asked, "Why are you suddenly asking about this?"

Martha said, "We are currently in an Other Sphere."

Chen Lingtao: ???

Martha looked apologetic and said, "Last night, the Other Sphere merged with Earth, and my main body was left stranded on this Other Sphere during the brief period of merging tremors."

Chen Lingtao stared blankly at Martha, stammering, "This... this... I'll go out... uh..."

Martha shook her head repeatedly and said, "No, with your current strength, going out is suicide.

"The creatures on the Other Sphere are generally one or two ranks higher than those on Earth. You are only in the late Nebula stage, not even touching the threshold of the Galaxy stage, and your physical fitness is comprehensively substandard."

Martha pondered for a moment and said, "Here's what we'll do. I'll prepare Star Beads for you, and you'll bury yourself here and practice hard. Once you reach the Galaxy stage, combined with the Star Beads I've prepared for you, your strength will increase significantly. At that time, I'll take you out."

Chen Lingtao looked distressed, wishing he had been born three years earlier, so he would at least be at the Galaxy stage like Yi Qingchen.

At this moment, Chen Lingtao still didn't know that his Qingchen-jie had already reached the Star Ocean stage...

Martha thought for a while and comforted him, "The fusion of the Other Sphere and Earth is an irreversible trend. Maybe we'll be able to return to Earth soon. You don't need to worry."

The master and disciple chatted in detail.

......

At the same time, in front of the stone villa, on the edge of the lake.

The woman, with her hands tied behind her, wearing Star Power handcuffs, and thrown on the ground, suddenly turned her eyes and looked at the spatial gate that opened beside her.

Then, when she saw who it was, her body trembled violently.

In fact, when she saw the spatial gate open, she had already realized what was about to happen.

That terrifying demon has come again...

Since she was thrown here, that demon had summoned another bait in front of her, under her gaze.

Jiang Tu, whom she had killed before, had returned!

Jiang Tu wouldn't make Cui Keli so terrified, but the original body would!

Jiang Xiao had repeatedly and completely destroyed Cui Keli's mind, leaving her with a very deep psychological shadow.

Just last night, Jiang Xiao's original body took the time to visit Cui Keli, and in one night, she experienced a full three "sad tears baths."

In Jiang Xiao's words, it was "washing away her sins."

Jiang Xiao said, "I see you've recovered well? And you even have other little thoughts? You're really physically disabled but mentally strong, commendable and moving."

As he spoke, Jiang Xiao stretched out a hand. Under the Domain Tear domain, countless water droplets pieced together, and the water flow mixed with Domain Tear and Sorrow Tear once again enveloped Cui Keli's body.

"No, don't..." Cui Keli shook her head constantly, looking at Jiang Xiao with a pleading expression, and said, "I've told you everything, I've said everything, don't do this to me anymore, I... waaaah..."

Cui Keli's spirit completely collapsed, and she suddenly choked up, then burst into tears.

Jiang Xiao looked at the leader of the Xianhua Organization in front of him and said, "I just don't have time to deal with you right now! With danger looming, I'll let you little devils jump around for a few more days!

"After I solve our country's crisis... I will visit everyone in your organization one by one."

Saying that, Jiang Xiao patted Cui Keli on the head and exited the spatial gate, leaving only the silent Jiang Tu sitting beside the crying Cui Keli, gazing at the calm lake.

This lake was re-created by him and Whirr-Whirr Whale after the upgraded version of the Calamity Shadow World, just to restore the original appearance of their home.

That day, when they were building the lake, in the villa behind them, in front of the glass window of the southwest corner room on the second floor, there was also a beautiful figure, quietly watching one person and one whale rebuild the lake, just like she had stood quietly in front of the window, watching one person and one whale playing in the moonlight...

Thinking of this, Jiang Tu turned his head to look, but he could no longer see Han Jiangxue's figure behind the window on the second floor of the villa.

As the woman's cries gradually subsided and turned back into whimpers, Jiang Tu turned around and said, "Can you talk?"

"Yes, I can!" Cui Keli didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, and responded stammeringly but also fearfully.

Jiang Tu said, "Tell me, how did your Xianhua Organization get involved with the Japanese? Speak in Korean, I'll learn a foreign language while I'm at it."

It wasn't that he really wanted to learn this language, but Jiang Xiao had already decided to use Cui Keli as a new "mecha."

One day in the future, when controlling the "Cui Keli brand" Thorn Warrior Armor to go to the Xianhua Organization, if his language skills weren't up to par, he would be quickly exposed.

Since he wanted to play, then let's play big!

When the time was right, Jiang Xiao planned to first use the bait's Soul-Devouring Soul Chart to control Cui Keli's body to land in Japan. Even if anything happened, Jiang Xiao, who could Globally Teleport, could immediately lead the team to support.

......

Jiang Xiao, who walked out of the Calamity Shadow World's gate, returned to the empty Yepu Ancient Pagoda City.

He Teleported into the conference room next to the Yepu Ancient Pagoda City gate.

Here, the Gold and Silver Disciples stood respectfully, while the members of the Star Frontier Team sat at the table.

Jiang Xiao said, "You are all aware of the situation, so let's hear your thoughts."

As Jiang Xiao spoke, his eyes drifted towards Zhang Songfu.

Zhang Songfu understood and seemed to have been considering it for a long time, already having an idea in his mind.

He directly responded, "Jiang brigade commander wants to drive the Star Beasts into your world as quickly as possible, reduce the amount of Other-Dimensional space released on Earth, and prepare for the fusion of Earth and Other Spheres. We all approve of this plan."

As he spoke, Zhang Songfu glanced at Eagle Falcon Li Haoge and Peregrine Falcon Yue Yuchen, receiving nods of agreement from both of them.

Zhang Songfu continued, "I believe that with the existence of the Diamond Silver Couple, subduing the Ghost Monk clan in the Central Plains is not difficult.

"We only need to send out a team of Ghost Monk soldiers to support the Diamond Silver Couple and conduct a carpet search. When we see the Ancient Pagoda forces, we can call on them to enter your Calamity Shadow World.

"On the way, if we encounter the Star Cave clan or the Night City clan, we can appropriately kill or subdue them.

"We have lived in the Central Plains for so long and know the specific characteristics of the Star Beasts here. This task is not difficult."

"Hmm..." Jiang Xiao nodded and turned to look at the Eagle Falcon brothers, saying, "Haoge, Yuchen, I'll hand over this group of Gold and Silver Disciples to you two. Cooperate with the Diamond Silver Couple and take a trip through the Central Plains.

"Also, Baze will be assigned to you. You know that he is also another me, so we can communicate face to face if there are any problems."

Li Haoge's pair of phoenix eyes flashed with brilliance, and he nodded heavily. After so many years, it seemed that he had finally found a true goal.

In the past few years, he had only sought survival. After meeting Jiang Xiao, he adjusted his mentality and began to seek the expansion of Yepu Ancient Pagoda.

However, Li Haoge and Yue Yuchen were both genuine Night Watch Army, true soldiers.

When they discovered that their actions in the Other Sphere could protect a territory of China, that long-lost self-recognition and sense of honor all returned.

Jiang Xiao pondered for a moment and said, "I also have a rather special Star Technique that can raise the rank of Star Beasts.

"You've all seen the Diamond Silver Couple's appeal, and for the efficiency and safety of your mission, I plan to raise all the Gold and Silver Disciples present to the Diamond rank."

For a moment, the three generals of Yepu Ancient Pagoda were all stunned, looking at Jiang Xiao with disbelief.

Zhang Songfu was about to say something, but Jiang Xiao waved his hand to interrupt him.

Jiang Xiao continued, "Also, Yue Yuchen, your Auspicious Beast mount has followed you for a long time. I'll raise your mount's rank as well to strengthen its appeal within the clan.

"The Auspicious Beast clan is different from other Star Beasts. They are not warlike, are timid, and very well-behaved. It should be easier to subdue them."

Li Haoge's heart stirred, and he suddenly said, "In Night City, there is also a pair of Night Mandarin Duck clan, and their personalities are similar to those of the Auspicious Beasts.

"Although the Night Mandarin Ducks are difficult to tame, they have a close relationship with the Auspicious Beast clan. As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together. With the appeal of a high-rank Auspicious Beast, the Night Mandarin Ducks will mostly listen."

Jiang Xiao was stunned for a moment and said, "Are you sure?"

Li Haoge said, "Yes, Jiang brigade commander, I have lived here for so many years and know the characteristics of the Central Plains Star Beasts very well. Except for the Star Cave creatures, which are a bit tricky, the rest are easy to deal with."

On the side, the blind woman suddenly said, "My mount can be contributed. It is also very obedient. City Lord Li can take it on the mission."

Li Haoge's expression was a bit complicated, wanting to accept but too embarrassed to do so.

The blind woman continued, "It's all for the mission, don't worry too much. When our Star Frontier Team returns, we hope that you have also made a round and returned here.

"And we also hope that at that time, in this Yepu Ancient Pagoda, the Ghost Monks, Auspicious Beasts, and Night Mandarin Ducks of the entire Central Plains will have gathered."

Zhang Songfu asked, "Jiang brigade commander... you seem to have forgotten me?"

Jiang Xiao said, "You have another mission."

Zhang Songfu: "Hmm? Tell me."

Jiang Xiao said, "Time is tight. Since I have such a Star Technique, it's best to carry out the mission on multiple lines to complete the mission objectives as quickly as possible.

"We will find suitable Soul Warriors, Dancers, and Little Book Souls from the hundred elite soldiers who went on this expedition, raise the rank of individual creatures, and you and Xiao Chongyang will lead them to Lu Province to gather all the local creatures."

"Ah! Jiang Xiao Jiang Xiao, I want to go with you," He Chongyang said anxiously.

The person who leads the Soul Clan, Dancers, and Little Book Souls is best Xiao Chongyang, because her prestige in the army has already been established.

Looking at the girl's anxious appearance, Jiang Xiao also knew that he shouldn't use the standards of a soldier to demand this child. He thought for a while, and didn't say anything.

But at the table, another "Jiang Xiao" spoke, only to see Jiang Xun signaling to Xiao Chongyang and saying, "I'll accompany you."

During the journey to the Peninsula Expedition, Jiang Xun also established prestige in the army. He and Xiao Chongyang cooperating would also be an extra layer of insurance.

"Oh!" Xiao Chongyang first felt relieved, then a little disappointed, rubbing her little face and muttering, "Only one..."

Jiang Xiao: ???

That's too much! What? You still want to be surrounded by beauties?

Dream on!

Secretly complaining, Jiang Xiao suddenly discovered that there were actually images in his mind!
