Wang Zheng, who had already walked away, naturally had no way of sensing Ling Youjie's emotional changes.

Leaving the main street of Gushan Town, he quickly found the soldiers who had been sent from the garrison base to pick him up at the entrance to the Tianzhu Mountains, following the directions on the communicator.

As for how they were distinguished...

In this chaotic adventure camp, where most are low-level Awakened, an A-rank mentalist is quite conspicuous.

Moreover, the soldierly demeanor emanating from the other party is impossible to conceal.

After meeting up, the two didn't exchange many pleasantries. Wang Zheng quickly followed his partner and soared into the depths of the wilderness, plunging headlong into the distant, continuous mountain range.

As for the adventurers on the ground, they were no longer surprised by this.

Countless experts come and go here every day, so it's not surprising that a few more can fly. They just feel envious, wondering when they will be able to have such strength...

Half an hour later, Wang Zheng was still advancing along the undulating mountain range.

They were flying at a fast speed, and had already gone deep into the mountains. The land beneath their feet was deserted and far away from the adventurers' territory.

Throughout the journey, Wang Zheng did not show any impatience, but the Awakened One opposite him was very polite.

She kept thanking Wang Zheng for coming and said she didn't expect him to arrive so quickly, so she couldn't greet him in time and hoped he wouldn't mind.

He also mentioned that the base's location was indeed quite remote and difficult to find; if he had been notified earlier, he would have gone directly to Luzhou to pick him up...

Wang Zheng didn't care much about these things; he just felt that the other party was being too polite.

He hadn't considered that once he became a Grandmaster, his status and position would be completely incomparable to those of ordinary Awakened Ones.

He's just not one to care much about these things, and after returning to Jingnan, he stayed at school and didn't interact with any strangers. He only realized it later and hasn't noticed it until now.

Led by the other party, Wang Zheng followed the winding path, feeling that the mountains and rivers of China were so magnificent.

Moreover, if it weren't for the route planning on the locator, he would have almost lost his bearings.

Although the Tianzhu Mountains are located in the south, they are famous for their unique peaks, strange rocks, secluded caves, and canyons. In addition, the lush vegetation and crisscrossing ravines make the internal terrain structure particularly complex.

After another half hour, they finally found the entrance to the base in a cave in a mountain valley.

The base was built halfway up a mountain, and a natural boulder protruded and blocked the view, making it impossible to see anything unusual from mid-air.

After entering this hidden base, Wang Zheng was even more amazed by the wonders of nature.

After all, the mountain, which looks so majestic from the outside, is mostly hollow. The construction of this base can be considered to be adapted to local conditions, making use of and modifying the space in the cave, and building it directly inside the mountain.

While it's always better to be safe than sorry, the base's concealment is truly remarkable, leaving Wang Zheng speechless.

His destination already took advantage of blind spots, and with the gate closed and the camouflage layer applied, it blended seamlessly into the entire mountain range. It would be a miracle if he could find it.

Thankfully, I abandoned this unrealistic idea in time and made contact with the base; otherwise, I might have been searching for this for the rest of my life...

Just as Wang Dashao was looking around, a middle-aged man in camouflage, with a resolute face and a muscular build, took the initiative to come up and warmly shook Wang Zheng's hand.

"Grandmaster Wang! I've heard so much about you... I am Meng Lie from the Imperial Capital Military Region. It's an honor to meet you for the first time. You're the first of the grandmasters who came to provide support this time, haha~"

Wang Zheng was flattered by the other party's enthusiasm and quickly exchanged pleasantries with him.

"Master Meng, you're too kind. I've long admired you. You're a senior, just call me Xiao Wang. Jingnan is nearby, and I don't have anything else to do..."

Wang Zheng had already reviewed the information about this base before he arrived, so he was familiar with the grandmasters stationed here.

Upon hearing the other party's self-introduction, they naturally knew that this Master Meng Lie was the leader of the Huiwan base and a confidant of Old Li.

With his formidable mental strength and the addition of three attributes that allow him to transcend to the mortal realm, his overall strength is quite remarkable.

Otherwise, we wouldn't have entrusted him with such an important task.

Seeing that Wang Zheng was so young and polite, not arrogant, and had a maturity beyond his years, Meng Lie was secretly pleased.

When he first heard his former boss say that Wang Zheng was going to be transferred over to help, he was extremely unwilling.

Although this oldest master in history is now very famous, he has never lifted the spell.

If his strength was just average, that would be fine; he was confident he could suppress him. But he had heard that this kid was not only incredibly strong, but also had a violent temper.

In his view, this was just like inviting a troublemaker.

However, after their first meeting, he discovered that Wang Zheng wasn't as irritable as rumored; on the contrary, he seemed quite docile.

It seems that rumors shouldn't be taken at face value.

Meng Lie was pleased to see Wang Zheng being so polite.

"Haha, since that's the case, I'm a few years older than you, so I'll shamelessly call you Brother Wang."

My dear brother, when I heard about your exploits in the Yellow Sea, I was incredibly moved. It's just a pity I was on a mission in another region at the time; I wish I could have gone with you!

As they were talking, Grandmaster Meng Lie suddenly leaned closer and whispered in Wang Zheng's ear:

"Those little devils deserve to die! It's only because the higher-ups are always thinking about some kind of alliance or grand plan for humanity that they can't trust these foreign superhumans with their two or three swords. We might as well just kill them all and concentrate all the resources in China to end it all..."

Upon hearing Master Meng's startling words, Wang Zheng could only manage a wry smile.

'As expected of his name, he's fierce and ruthless. But I wonder what Lao Li and Lao Zhao would think if they knew he was gossiping about his superiors like this…'

Although Young Master Wang also felt that Master Meng's words were rough but reasonable, he was the one who did the work and killed the Japanese devils, so he had no right to speak.

Therefore, he could only nod with a smile, his heart filled with emotion.

However, his first impression of Master Meng had changed somewhat. At first, he thought that all commanders should be as steady as Master Huangqi.
