Chapter 1 The Beginning
One hundred miles northwest of Black City lay Baiyun Town.
This was once a quiet and peaceful small town. However, after Black Tower began expanding its military, this town was also chosen by Black Tower as a military training base.
The current Baiyun Town was already Black Tower's military base.
Ye Ling arrived outside Baiyun Town according to Ye Miaomiao's memories. He saw that the entire town was surrounded by iron walls a hundred meters high. The walls were also lined with heavily armed soldiers and mechs, exuding an immense sense of pressure that deterred any approach.
Because Ye Ling had casually destroyed Black Tower in Black City, and several high-ranking officials of Black Tower Corporation were in a meeting in Black City at the time, they were affected by Ye Ling's spiritual blade. Their current status was unknown, causing the entire Black Tower company to become extremely tense.
Baiyun Town was already on high alert. Anyone approaching Baiyun Town without a pass would be ruthlessly shot by the guards on the wall.
Ye Miaomiao looked at the towering iron wall standing on the ground and couldn't help but say, "No matter how many times I come here, just seeing this oppressive iron wall makes me feel sick."
Baiyun Town was, after all, Ye Miaomiao's hometown. When Black Tower built this place into a military base, they did not properly resettle the original residents of Baiyun Town.
Black Tower's method was to dispatch troops and mechs. Regardless of whether the residents of Baiyun Town agreed, they would simply flatten all the houses in the town.
For those willing to cooperate with Black Tower's demolition, Black Tower would give a symbolic amount of money. However, the money Black Tower gave was less than a tenth of the price of the houses.
For those unwilling to cooperate with Black Tower's demolition, Black Tower's troops would mercilessly crush them.
At that time, Black Tower completed the demolition task of Baiyun Town in just one day. The lives of Baiyun Town residents were like mere grass before the Black Tower army!
Furthermore, Black Tower Corporation's strength had long surpassed that of the nation. They controlled the economy, military, and public opinion. The residents of Baiyun Town had no other choice but to accept their fate.
It was precisely because of the construction of the military base in Baiyun Town in such a barbaric manner that Ye Miaomiao became even more willing to fight for the Wings of Freedom.
Through Ye Miaomiao's memories, Ye Ling also knew about the process of building this Baiyun Military Base. He couldn't help but ask Ye Miaomiao, "Ye Miaomiao, since you dislike this military base, why don't we tear it down together?"
"Tear it down?"
Ye Miaomiao was stunned when she heard Ye Ling's words, and then said, "Like how you split open Black Tower before?"
Ye Ling nodded and smiled, "Yes, and I can lend you some of my power, allowing you to do it yourself."
"Can... can it be done?" Ye Miaomiao was a little confused, not daring to believe what Ye Ling said.
She couldn't imagine possessing the ability to move mountains and fill seas with a raise of her hand!
However, Ye Ling didn't say too much to Ye Miaomiao. He directly channeled some of his power into Ye Miaomiao's body, and at the same time, he removed the concealment spell, exposing them completely to the surveillance of the Baiyun Military Base.
"Intruders detected! Kill on sight!"
The moment Ye Ling removed the concealment spell, piercing alarms sounded within the Baiyun Military Base. Within seconds, several heavy mechs and over a dozen fully armed soldiers locked onto Ye Ling, Nuo Ying, and Ye Miaomiao.
Without any warning, the heavy mechs and soldiers opened fire, and a barrage of bullets poured towards Ye Miaomiao!
Hearing the gunfire, Ye Miaomiao's heart suddenly panicked, and she instinctively unleashed the spiritual energy surging within her body!
Boom!!!
A black energy wave shot out from Ye Miaomiao's palm, hitting the iron wall. It directly melted all the incoming ammunition, along with the mechs and soldiers on the wall!
The soldiers on the iron wall and Ye Miaomiao herself were all stunned.
"What... what kind of new human weapon is this?"
The soldiers on the iron wall were terrified by Ye Miaomiao's move, thinking she was a killing weapon developed by some organization. Fear appeared on all their faces.
Ye Ling smiled at the stunned Ye Miaomiao, "Ye Miaomiao, you can be even more imaginative."
"More imaginative?"
Ye Miaomiao was stunned. She felt the surging power within her body again, then looked at the iron wall in front of her, raised her arm, and slightly spread her fingers.
Crackling!
The seemingly indestructible iron wall twisted at a visible speed.
As Ye Miaomiao clenched her five fingers, the outer iron wall of the Baiyun Military Base was twisted into a giant iron ball by the powerful spiritual energy!
The heavy mechs and soldiers on the iron wall were all crushed into the iron ball.
"This is... what kind of power?"
Ye Miaomiao had never felt so powerful. At this moment, she felt invincible!
"What an exhilarating feeling!"
Ye Miaomiao chuckled, then pushed off with her legs, soaring into the air and standing above the Baiyun Military Base.
The electromagnetic cannons in the military base all locked onto Ye Miaomiao in the air and fired rays capable of piercing the earth at her!
Seeing this, Ye Miaomiao neither dodged nor evaded. She unrestrainedly used the power Ye Ling had given her. The ultimate weapons of Black Tower were like toys in front of Ye Miaomiao!
Nuo Ying, who was watching from outside Black Tower, saw Ye Miaomiao single-handedly crushing the Black Tower military base. She couldn't help but ask Ye Ling, "Why did you lend her your power?"
Ye Ling looked at Ye Miaomiao's figure in the air and said, "She might have some special connection with the Overseers and the Primordial Seven Kings. By lending her power, I can use this opportunity to thoroughly cleanse her body and find all the problems within her."
"Secondly, after she experiences this kind of power, her desire to become stronger will grow, and her desire will then outweigh her fear of the Overseers... This will also be beneficial for her future cultivation."
Nuo Ying smiled, "You are very good to her, thinking of everything. You are actually willing to use your power to help her transform."
"After all, we obtained a very important piece of information from her. We owe her a great favor, and we must repay it." Ye Ling looked at Ye Miaomiao, who was dominating the battlefield in the air, his eyes narrowing slightly, as if he was contemplating something.
Nuo Ying asked again, "Have you discovered any secrets from Ye Miaomiao yet?"
"Not yet."
Ye Ling shook his head and shifted his gaze to the Baiyun Military Base, which had launched a full-scale assault.
At this moment, to deal with Ye Miaomiao, Black Tower had brought out all its reserves: combat aircraft, combat mechs, heavy tanks, electromagnetic cannons... all usable weapons had been deployed by Black Tower.
"Ye Miaomiao and Black Tower will be playing for a while longer. Let's use this time to trace back the spacetime of Ye Miaomiao's home."
Ye Ling said softly to Nuo Ying and walked towards the battlefield-ravaged military base.
