In Jessica’s home in North America…

Jessica’s father was watching television nervously, occasionally searching online about the latest news concerning the Commanders.

It was a pity that ever since the great explosion in the extreme north and the battle in the desert, no other news had arrived.

Beside him, Jessica’s younger brother continued, “It’s over, it’s all over. With the nine Commanders’ besieging him, this Fang Xingjian is doomed. However, we’ll be implicated as well. What is this?”

The countenance of Jessica’s father became more grim. There was no way he would have expected that this time around, the Commanders would react so intensely. The nine Commanders came pressing down with such a great momentum. Neither did he expect that Fang Xingjian would be so unyielding, choosing to take the initiative to retaliate.

At that moment, footsteps rang out. The family of three turned their heads only to see that Jessica had appeared in the room unknowingly.

She had naturally came rushing over to save her parents. After all, although she had no idea what Fang Xingjian’s goals were, she knew that there would probably be consecutive great battles that were coming. Therefore, Jessica had came to bring her parents away for fear that they would be implicated.

Jessica’s father cried out in surprise, “Jessica!”

Her younger brother and mother also looked over, but her younger brother raged, “You still dare to come? Do you know that you’ve gotten us into big trouble?! Father’s few decades of hard work has been destroyed by you in just a few days. Now, all of our family’s assets are going to be confiscated.”

Jessica frowned and did not pay any attention to her younger brother. She looked directly at her father and said “Father, go get ready and leave with me immediately.”

Jessica’s father hesitated for a moment, not saying anything. Jessica’s younger brother objected, “We can’t leave. You’re telling us to leave with you right now? Are you asking us to court death? Fang Xingjian is being chased down to be killed, and the White Army won’t be able to hold on for long. Yet, you still want us to follow you?”

Jessica threw a cold glance toward her younger brother, not saying anything. She merely looked at her father and said, “Father, I don’t have too much time. Leave with me quickly. As for Lord Fang Xingjian, it’s impossible for him to lose to other people.”

Jessica’s father still did not reply. He merely frowned and said with a sigh, “Jessica, I really can’t afford to take this risk.” He did not think well of Fang Xingjian, and he felt that his daughter’s words were merely out of blind admiration.

A hint of disappointment flashed in Jessica’s eyes as she looked at her father. The white energy in her body grew a little more intense, and an emotion of becoming more apathetic and wanting to pursue the path of Dao appeared in her heart.

Just then, the television host’s gasp rang out.

It was followed by a series of scenes and reports of Fang Xingjian chasing and killing the Commanders across the planet. Jessica’s parents and younger brother were shocked with their eyes wide open and mouths agape.

Jessica’s father fell down onto the sofa and then suddenly shot up to his feet. He looked at the spot Jessica had initially been, but there was no longer anyone there. Only Jessica’s voice rang out faintly.

“The other armies probably won’t come and bring further trouble for fear of Lord Fang Xingjian’s reputation. However, there will probably be a series of great battles to follow. You guys better go hide well.”

At this moment, an intense feeling of wanting to pursuit the path of Dao suddenly grew in Jessica’s heart. She felt that the feelings in the secular world were extremely fragile and meaningless, and the white energy in her body grew increasingly intense.

When Jessica’s father saw that Jessica had disappeared, his mouth remained agape, and strong feelings of regret shone in his eyes.

“Sigh, we’re wrong. We’ve really made the wrong choice this time around.” However, at the next moment, he appeared determined. “But Jessica is my daughter after all. I’ll head to the Kun Lun Mountains immediately. Even if I had to squeeze my way in, I’ll make sure to get into the Sacred White Crevice.”

…

“Grade!!”

A young man stared at Grade, the Black Army’s Commander, and called out with strong feelings of hatred.

However, at the next moment, his mind was completely engulfed by black energy. He also disappeared completely.
