The sky above Xianxia City was exceptionally clear.
Due to the "Guya Ravine," a large number of marine plankton and algae had surged into the Xianxia region.
Surrounding the "Guya Ravine" and the Xianxia City dam, the previously barren, red-yellow earth had sprouted lush vegetation.
This new type of vegetation, formed from the combination of marine organisms and sandy soil,
grew like fluffy down, covering the land and bringing vibrant greenery to the surroundings of Xianxia City.
The botanists of Xianxia were ecstatic!
They never expected that one day, the barren lands of Xianxia would be revitalized!
All botanists began researching the principles and habits of this mutated plant.
Before long, they would be able to cultivate plants more suited to Xianxia.
The Xianxia Kingdom, a dormant oasis for three hundred years, could finally live up to its name and return to its spring-like glory!
This was all thanks to the earth-shattering cannon fired by Guya when he saved Xianxia City!
Guya and Ye Ying, reluctant to leave the verdant land, lingered.
Ye Ying softly said, "Xianxia is undergoing tremendous change because of you. What the previous divine wielder couldn't achieve, you have accomplished."
Guya chuckled self-deprecatingly, "That's quite a statement, makes it sound like I'm cleaning up after the predecessor."
Ye Ying leaned her head on Guya's shoulder and whispered, "This time, you're not allowed to leave me behind and run off to the underground world alone. From now on, wherever you go, I will follow."
"Naturally!!" Guya asserted with certainty.
After a day of flight, Guya and Ye Ying returned to Wuhe City.
All members of the Soaring Eagle Third Squad were ready for deployment to the underground world.
As everyone was preparing for the upcoming campaign,
Dou Mei appeared in the hangar.
"Little brother, you've caused me so much trouble!" Dou Mei said with a mournful face. "Because I didn't agree to your execution, the higher-ups made me write a ten-thousand-character report, examining why I wasn't devoted to Xianxia. It's so unfair! Of course, I'm devoted to Xianxia, but I couldn't betray you!"
Guya smiled and comforted her, "Sister Dou Mei, thank you for your hard work."
However, Ye Ying's gaze towards Dou Mei was constantly shifting, filled with suspicion.
She had seen the memories in Guya's consciousness, recalling various past events between Guya and Dou Mei.
Those "unseemly" occurrences had made Ye Ying jealous for a long time.
But fortunately, Guya had remained true to his original intention and hadn't fallen for Dou Mei's schemes.
Otherwise, Ye Ying would have never let Guya off the hook.
Dou Mei, being perceptive, understood Ye Ying's thoughts and quickly appeased her, "Oh my, sister-in-law, don't worry, I won't steal your Guya! On the contrary, I'll do my best to support you, hee hee. For instance, I brought her here!"
"Come out, say hello to everyone!"
As soon as Dou Mei finished speaking,
a woman of short stature with slightly dark skin appeared at the doorway, smiling awkwardly and waving at everyone, saying, "Hello! We're teammates from now on!"
"Hong Lian · Zhi Wu?" All members of the Soaring Eagle Third Squad exclaimed in unison.
Hong Lian smiled awkwardly and said, "Xing Chen... uh... Brother Wang Chuan and Zhan Huo · Ji have defected to Xianxia, so I couldn't fall behind either, right?"
As soon as these words were spoken, immediate dissatisfaction arose among the team members, and discussions began to spread.
Dou Mei interrupted everyone's doubts, saying, "Ever since she learned that Wang Chuan had defected to Xianxia, Hong Lian has been actively reforming."
"Alright! Now, I'll announce the second matter!"
"The higher-ups have decided to form a new special operations team, consisting of Guya, Ye Ying, Wang Chuan, Hong Lian · Zhi Wu, Jin Quan · Ao Tian, Qiao Wei Wei, and Shen Jing Ming, to sortie into the underground."
The remaining members, including Liu Feng, were immediately displeased!
Li Fang grumbled loudly, "What does the Xianxia higher-ups mean by this!! Are they abandoning us, the unworthy mech mechanics!! Damn it! I don't care, I want to go too!!"
Tao Na quickly stomped on Li Fang's foot, quelling his outburst.
Guya spoke up, "Add one more. Liu Feng, you're coming with us."
Liu Feng's eyes suddenly lit up, and he picked up the luggage he had set down.
Li Fang was unhappy again and quickly said, "Captain Gu, how can you do this! The three of us have contributed significantly to the Soaring Eagle Third Squad! Why let Liu Feng go and not us?"
Guya smiled and comforted him, "Alright, you, Tao Na, and Lan Jing were already a team. Now that you're reunited and have taken the lead of the Soaring Eagle Third Squad, there will be plenty of battles waiting for you in the future."
Li Fang was unconvinced but had no choice, so he nodded, "That seems to be the case. Then we will guard the Soaring Eagle Third Squad and wait for your return!"
Just as everyone was talking,
another Dou Mei walked into the conference room.
Everyone was astonished!
The two Dou Mei looked identical, making it impossible to tell which was the real one!
"My twin sister, Dou Xuan, hee hee. She had been undercover in Xing Chen's army under Long Ka · Wan You for many years. During the Eternal Stability of岚 battle, she poisoned Long Ka · Wan You, securing the final victory."
Dou Xuan nodded at everyone with a stern expression, saying, "Sister, I've finished your ten-thousand-character report for you. Next time there's such a mess, don't come looking for me."
"Hey! You're revealing such embarrassing things in front of everyone!"
"Hahaha!" Everyone burst into laughter upon hearing this.
Dou Xuan shot Dou Mei a cold glance for her rudeness and said to Guya, "Your strength has been officially recognized by the Xianxia higher-ups. You will now lead the new special operations team, the Blazing Dragon First Squad."
"Wow!!" Li Fang exclaimed, "The Blazing Dragon First Squad! The legendary War God Squad! Even ordinary War Gods can't get in!"
"I heard that Liang Yu Wei once led the Blazing Dragon First Squad on a mission!"
"Mm-hmm, those are old stories, no need to mention them." Liang Yu Wei's refined voice echoed from the doorway of the conference hall.
He was wearing a casual trench coat and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses as he appeared before everyone.
"Haha, Guya, you bring excitement wherever you go!"
Many people present had never seen Liang Yu Wei before and were surprised that this elusive man had appeared here!
"Guya, a word." Liang Yu Wei tilted his head towards Guya and said with a smile.
The two of them left the lively conference hall and went outside.
Liang Yu Wei spoke first, "If you see this thing in the underground, please bring it back for me. I have a use for it."
As he spoke, Liang Yu Wei activated a holographic image.
Guya's brow furrowed in shock after a single glance. "You! How do you know about this thing? Could it be... you...?"
Liang Yu Wei raised an eyebrow slightly, gazing at Guya, and asked gently, "It seems you've already encountered it."
"More than encountered!" Guya exclaimed.
Then, Guya recounted his encounters with the mysterious stone tablet to Liang Yu Wei, from the Falam City prison to the Bai Di Yun Sheng Kingdom, and then to the Lan Lan Lan Kingdom. Guya also informed Liang Yu Wei about Xu Jie's situation.
Liang Yu Wei nodded with concern, saying, "It seems their progress is faster than we imagined."
Guya quickly asked, "Who are 'they' that you speak of? Have you been investigating the mysterious stone tablet?"
Liang Yu Wei said in a low voice, "In fact, even before we met, I knew of your existence. It was just that due to certain reasons, I couldn't openly inform you. Now, the time is almost right."
Guya was confused about how the other party had learned of him.
Liang Yu Wei continued to explain, "My unpredictable whereabouts are not because I've seen through the world, as people say, but because I am fulfilling my mission."
"My associates and I have been secretly protecting humanity. We have also been secretly monitoring you."
Guya asked warily, "Who are you and the people behind you?"
"We are the 'Old Days Faction,' an organization independent of all countries in the world," Liang Yu Wei stated calmly. "Your predecessor established the predecessor of this organization, dedicated to secretly protecting humanity."
"This world is far more dangerous than it appears on the surface."
"Simply put, a certain mysterious extraterrestrial force has been attempting to invade the planet for tens of thousands of years. Every holder of the Mech God Urn has been doing their utmost to prevent their invasion."
Guya was not surprised by Liang Yu Wei's words; he had already seen the unknown threat through certain indications!
Moreover, there were also intricate connections with the Dun Sa Xin people!
"Guya!" Liang Yu Wei said with a firm and serious tone, "In the future, our mission will be even more arduous. Fortunately, you have grown."
"We can discuss the details after you return from the underground world."
The preparations for the Blazing Dragon First Squad were complete,
awaiting them was an unknown yet exhilarating path ahead.
All team members ceased their bickering, steadied their control sticks,
and piloted their mechs out of the hangar, charging towards the path ahead.
