Chapter 212 Wu Xiangnan's "Departure".

......

"Do we really have to leave now?"

Wu Xiangnan closed his eyes tightly, as if that would shut out his helplessness and reluctance. He asked Xia Simeng and Kong Shang, who were sitting opposite him, his voice tinged with suppressed bitterness.

“That’s the order from higher-ups,” Xia Simeng sighed helplessly, and slowly said, “This is completely different from what I expected. I really don’t understand what the higher-ups are thinking. And, you…”

At this point, Xia Simeng suddenly stopped, swallowing back what she was about to say.

She was aware of what had happened with Wu Xiangnan's [Blue Rain] team.

Especially on the battlefield where they fought Loki in Cangnan City, they almost didn't recognize this once-famous "Undying Swordsman" from the "Blue Rain" team.

It was only after receiving orders from their superiors that they noticed the vice-captain of Squad 136 was actually a former member of the special Night Watch squad, Blue Rain, just like them.

He no longer possesses his former strength; one-tenth of his former abilities remain.

In this situation, even if Wu Xiangnan were transferred back to headquarters, he probably wouldn't be able to play any substantial role.

After all, the soul scar left on him by Susanoo's Ame-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi undoubtedly had a huge and far-reaching impact on him.

"Can't you make an exception?" Wu Xiangnan slowly opened her eyes, staring directly at Kong Shang and Xia Simeng opposite her, her eyes full of pleading. "I still want to be with the captain and see him through the last leg of his life. You must know the cause and effect of the crisis that happened in Cangnan City better than I do. The captain... he probably really doesn't have much time left. After all... you were the one who told me about this in the first place."

"This..." Xia Simeng was conflicted. She knew that asking Wu Xiangnan to leave at this moment was really asking too much of him.

But she really couldn't understand what the purpose of the instructions issued by those higher-ups was.

Even if Wu Xiangnan is the only survivor who went into Takamagahara and came out alive, that shouldn't be a reason for him to leave now.

After all, Wu Xiangnan, the former "Undying Swordsman," can no longer even use a sword properly. Such a "swordsman" is practically a sitting duck in battle, completely helpless.

“Give me some more time. After all, I’ve lived in Cangnan City for so many years, and this city holds so many memories for me. Now it’s about to disappear… I want to see it off one last time.”

Wu Xiangnan muttered to himself, his expression suggesting that he wasn't communicating with Xia Simeng, but rather having a difficult internal dialogue with himself, trying to convince himself to accept this cruel reality.

"Isn't this... a bit inappropriate?" Xia Simeng really didn't expect Wu Xiangnan to make such a decision.

However... Wu Xiangnan is, after all, the only survivor of the special team [Blue Rain].

If these special teams had completely followed the orders of their superiors in everything, then their Phoenix team probably wouldn't have been able to show up during this crisis in Cangnan City.

Actually, their Phoenix team's original target was Lei Yingdian, Liu Lang, and Lin Qiye, who ranked in the top three in the training camp.

Given the strength and achievements these three individuals demonstrated in the training camp, if any one of them could join their Phoenix team, then this operation would be considered fruitful and not a wasted trip.

But who could have imagined that such a bizarre and troublesome thing would happen this time?

Now, let alone Lei Yingdian, the original primary target of their Phoenix team, even whether they can recruit Lin Qiye, the agent of the two gods, into the Phoenix team is no longer something they can decide.

What's more, there are also Liu Lang and Lei Yingdian, two guys whose abilities are so abnormal that they're astonishing.

As a special squad, they do have some privileges.

"It's decided! If anything goes wrong, I'll take full responsibility." Wu Xiangnan replied firmly and decisively.

"Then I won't try to persuade you. Anyway, with my limited understanding, I have no idea what those guys at the top are thinking right now." Xia Simeng waved her hand and agreed. "Anyway, I'm just a messenger. When you return to headquarters is your business. My mission this time is to ensure that Cangnan City's final days are not disturbed..."

"What a beautiful city it was, I never imagined it would disappear so soon... It truly lives up to its reputation as the Divine Ruins of the Mortal Realm, a symbol of 'miracles' for the Seraphim—"

Wu Xiangnan: "Thank you."

Xia Simeng: "Why are you thanking me? I didn't do anything."
