Chapter 81: The Powerful Wood Spirit!

"No!"

Bai Shijing watched the battle for a moment and immediately made a decision, "If we keep fighting like this, my entire foundation will be wiped out!"

"Tell everyone to abandon the headquarters immediately and retreat quickly!"

After saying this, he intercepted his subordinates who were preparing to provide support and ordered them to run as fast as they could, letting those dozen or so people stall the Black Bear King for now.

And as for what was happening here, other parts of humanity were still completely unaware.

After Bai Shijing left with the others, his gaze sharpened, knowing which place could serve as a refuge, "The situation over in Water City is very complicated, and it is occupied by lakes of all sizes, with no roads leading directly everywhere."

"It seems I can only go to that place..."

The place he envisioned for refuge was Jianghai! This place held countless relatives of Jiang Luoli, so even if the Black Bear King led its Beast minions to hunt them down, Jiang Luoli could not possibly sit by and do nothing.

Soon, Bai Shijing led hundreds of Ability Users, marching in a grand procession as they fled toward Jianghai.

As soon as he arrived in this city, he high-handedly took over all military facilities and, using his status as the Alliance Leader of the Jiangnan District Ability User Alliance, forcibly ordered numerous personnel to cooperate with his work.

This was truly the style of a local warlord.

"Sigh, I wonder where the young lady has gone!"

Inside Ginkgo Manor, the butler's face was filled with worry as he paced back and forth next to that huge ginkgo tree, unable to rest for a moment, "The world is changing so much these days, I don't know if our Changsheng Group can survive this."

"If the young lady were here, she would have definitely thought of a solution."

"But... where on earth has the young lady gone?"

Before long, a middle-aged man burst in.

The butler originally wanted to stop him, but after seeing who the visitor was, he immediately stepped forward and bowed, keeping a very low posture, "Greetings, House Master!"

This middle-aged man was none other than Jiang Luoli's father, the Chairman of Changsheng Group, Jiang Dahai!

In the butler's impression, this House Master and Chairman usually would not come to Ginkgo Manor, and even if there were matters, he would call Jiang Luoli directly.

Seeing that Jiang Dahai had not only come in person but was also followed by a group of people, he asked in confusion, "I don't know why the House Master has come, is it because..."

"Are you trying to tell me how to do my job?"

Jiang Dahai glared fiercely at the butler until the other party repeatedly expressed that he was wrong, then he turned around and said with a smile to the person behind him, "Alliance Leader Bai, please feel free to use this place; treat it as your own home, don't be a stranger!"

The one who had come with him was Bai Shijing, along with many members of the Ability User Alliance.

Upon hearing these words, the butler secretly thought that things were bad.

He instinctively wanted to speak out to stop them, but thinking that he was, after all, just a servant by Jiang Luoli's side, and Jiang Dahai was Jiang Luoli's father, he had no authority to stop the other party, so he finally had to hold back.

In Ginkgo Manor, Bai Shijing looked around curiously, his gaze lingering on that ginkgo tree for quite a while.

Hearing these words from Jiang Dahai, he asked with a smile, "Chairman Jiang, your daughter... is she not in Jianghai at the moment?"

"She is not!"

"Thump!"

Upon learning this news, Bai Shijing panicked instantly.

The reason he came to Jianghai was to borrow Jiang Luoli's power to deal with the Black Bear King, but now that the main person wasn't even here, what could he do? Continue fleeing with the Ability Users?

Moreover, with the Black Bear King's strength, it wouldn't let them run for long; perhaps next time, it would wipe them all out!

Thinking of this, Bai Shijing immediately told Lu Chuan about the situation of their flight, "Boss, our Ability User Alliance has encountered an attack by the Black Bear King; we are no match for it at all and can only flee."

"I originally thought about coming to Jianghai to have Jiang Luoli help out, but now I've learned that she isn't even in Jianghai."

"Boss, what should we do now? When will Jiang Luoli be able to return?"

"What?"

A few seconds later, Bai Shijing's eyes widened instantly, and he instinctively wanted to shout out loud.

But considering there were others around him, he used his Soul Power to express his exclamation to Lu Chuan, "Right now, Jiang Luoli might still be in the North?"

"That place is probably over a hundred thousand miles away from Jiangnan!"

"It's over, we're finished..." At this moment, Bai Shijing was completely desperate.

He never imagined that things would develop into this state, and now he was screaming crazily in his heart, "If Jiang Luoli isn't in Jianghai, who can stop the Black Bear King?"

"Boss, how about... you come over to help me?"

"I, I was just joking, Boss, don't be angry!"

"Mm-hmm, okay, I understand..."

Lu Chuan couldn't possibly rush from the North to the Jiangnan District immediately because of this matter, so he just comforted Bai Shijing a few times, "Hold on for now."

"There is still the Powerful Group in Jianghai; their weapons and equipment are no less than those of an ordinary military base."

"Thank you, Boss, I understand..."

After Bai Shijing ended his Communication with Lu Chuan, he immediately called over the Ability Users beside him, "Go, notify the Powerful Group and have them prepare for battle!"

Not long after this order was issued, drones belonging to the Powerful Group in the Jianghai Region began to be dispatched in large numbers.

And not long after, they indeed scouted that the Beast army led by the Black Bear King was rushing toward Jianghai, full of aggressive momentum.

At the very front of the formation, the Black Bear King learned of the place they were about to reach, and a look of human-like contemplation flickered in its eyes, "I heard... this is that woman's hometown!"

"Very well, today let me meet that human woman and see just how powerful she is!"

"Quick, charge for me, get there at the fastest speed!"

"Boom—"

Instantly, the Beast army ran wildly, its momentum like a thousand armies crossing the border, with a massive presence.

"Intercept!"

"At all costs, stop them from advancing!"

Boom—

Following an order from Lin Xueer, who was observing from afar, countless drones carrying bombs suddenly flew toward the Beasts below and then instantly self-destructed.

The terrifying power brought by these bombs could be considered to have hindered the footsteps of the Beast army.

"Hmph!"

Once the smoke and dust dissipated, the Black Bear King blew away the thick smoke in front of it, revealing a look of disdain.

Because... these things could only stop its underlings; wanting to cause it harm?

Absolutely impossible!

Very quickly, the Ox Demon actually charged into the Jianghai urban area all by itself, and accurately found Ginkgo Manor.

Before it even rushed inside, it spoke in human language and shouted angrily, "Jiang Luoli, come out and die!"

This roar stunned most of the people, and made Jiang Dahai feel incomparably surprised, "How did my daughter provoke it? To actually have such great fury..."

"Sigh..."

Not far from Jiang Dahai, Bai Shijing let out a series of sighs, "If the situation looks bad, I can only run for my life myself."

While whispering to himself, he glanced at the Ability Users beside him and silently mourned for them in his heart.

He was an Ability User who possessed the Invisibility ability, so escaping would naturally be no problem.

Boom! With a loud bang, the Black Bear King charged straight into Ginkgo Manor.

But before it could do anything, a gust of wild wind suddenly blew in the sky, and the crowd discovered with great astonishment that many leaves were falling from the huge ginkgo tree in the manor.

These leaves were now like hidden weapons, dense and numerous, shooting toward the Black Bear King at extreme speed!

For a moment, the crowd was shocked, "What is happening?"

"Has this tree become a spirit?"
