Facing Jiang Donghu's disappointed and slightly disdainful gaze, Pei Jin remained calm and indifferent, waiting for him to take out the small Teleportation Array Plate from his ring.

"Are you really not worried about our lives and those of the surrounding people?" Jiang Donghu, holding the Teleportation Array Plate, looked up at Pei Jin with a bit of hope, trying to probe her.

Pei Jin casually nodded, with a sly smile appearing at the corner of her mouth as she spoke: "Worried about what? There will be someone on the other end of the teleportation to assist us, right?"

"Don't worry, the teleportation to the Special Forces Investigation Hall has a separate Teleportation Array set up for you, it's very safe, and there will be someone to assist you!" As he finished speaking, the last flicker of nostalgia in Jiang Donghu's eyes extinguished, and he prepared to inject his inner power into the teleportation array to start it.

Su Xiang frowned slightly at the scene, wondering if he had guessed wrong about this woman who seems to be indeed selfish. Hmph, he initially thought he would see something different with a woman who the goddess he revered admired, but it turned out she's just a bitch.

Thinking of this, he prepared to cut off the internal supply to Jiang Donghu using the paper figure, ending this already boring drama and taking Pei Jin away.

However, at that moment, Pei Jin, who was kneeling unexpectedly, reached out and snatched the teleportation plate from Jiang Donghu's hand. The opponent was first stunned and then shouted angrily: "Are you in such a hurry! Foolish! Without me, this thing is.....!"

But before he finished speaking, a blue light flashed from Pei Jin's hand. Everyone, including Su Xiang, was shocked to see the situation; during the confidential talk with the master before she left, she didn't reveal that Pei Jin was also a superpower user. Was the master unaware, or did she deliberately not mention it?

Just as everyone was momentarily dazed, a light enveloped Pei Jin. When the light gradually dissipated, a tall figure slowly stood up from the ground and reappeared in front of them.

"Phew, Miss Pei, you really scared me!" Su Xiang exhaled deeply, smiling genuinely. In that moment, he was truly worried that Pei Jin would disregard everything and escape; if he disrupted the master's plan due to his overconfidence, he would unleash his boundless wrath on these innocent people.

Looking at He Jiantao who disappeared on the ground and then at Pei Jin standing in front of him licking the blood off her hand, Jiang Donghu was momentarily unable to react, stammering: "You, you, him, you!"

"Don't blame me for not taking action, it was Director Mei of your Investigation Hall who ordered not to reveal my abilities unless absolutely necessary. But I think now is exactly that time." Pei Jin said as she undid her raincoat and threw it aside, flicking her hair and tying it into a ponytail with a hairband she took from her pocket.

After doing all this, she tossed her hair and turned to look at Su Xiang, smiling as she said: "Alright, things have become simple now. Just defeat me, and I'll go with you!"

"Oh! Miss Pei, after witnessing my techniques, you still plan to..." Su Xiang said, playfully pointing to the remaining people in the group, "fight us alone? That's quite a spirit!"

"Hey! Hey! Hey! Have I been ignored to such an extent now?" Jiang Donghu couldn't understand why Pei Jin was a superpower user, but at this moment he was inexplicably happy; his shattered heart was reunited, and the lost fighting spirit reignited in his chest.

"Foolish man who doesn't recognize the situation! You no longer have the qualification to speak here." Su Xiang uttered disdainfully, pinching his fingers while glancing at Jiang Donghu.

"Hmm!" Upon hearing the mockery, Jiang Donghu stumbled, choked with a sudden change inside his body, realizing what his comrades had previously experienced.

"Thunder Strike!" The sound of thunder roared, and Jiang Donghu's body vanished from its original place amidst the lightning.

"Shield the World!" The next moment, Shanhe, who instinctively obstructed Su Xiang's path, shouted loudly; Jiang Donghu, concealed in the electric light, was heavily pressured, emerging from the light and slammed into the ground, spewing a mouthful of blood.

"Oh, worthy of a fifth-level superpower user with such a strong ability, forcibly locked inner power and still able to break through, truly admirable!" Su Xiang stepped back two paces, looking at Jiang Donghu struggling to rise under the heavy pressure, sincerely praising.

"Enough, this matter is unrelated to them. Let me speak with him for a bit!" Seeing the situation, Pei Jin sighed, turning to Su Xiang for permission.

Su Xiang spread his hands, pulling Shanhe away with one hand, pointing to Jiang Donghu with the other: "Of course! Shanhe, step back, let Miss Pei speak with, um, Mr. Jiang!"

"You've fallen prey to their means, it's useless now. There is a layer of elemental barrier inside you; slowly impact it with your inner power. Leave the rest to me." Pei Jin approached Jiang Donghu without suspicion, supported him, and whispered in his ear.

"You aren't their match, since you're using your abilities, don't worry about us. Find a chance to escape Jiezhi Space. I'm telling the truth; protecting you is our duty, and we're incompetent. Thank you for sacrificing your chance to escape and helping Old He!" Jiang Donghu said earnestly, gripping Pei Jin's hand, knowing if he had any power left, he would never say these words. Yet now the situation is such that his team has entirely lost combat ability, and the dignity of the Dark Arrow Special Forces doesn't allow problems to arise under unfinished tasks, especially with the target meant to protect now protecting him instead.

Afterwards, he looked at his two comrades, their firm yet helpless expressions reflecting the same thoughts as his own.

"Give it a try, how do you know it won't work until you try?" Pei Jin said, drawing out the dagger from Jiang Donghu's leather boot, gently slicing a cut into her palm, then inserted the dagger back, pressing the injured hand on Jiang Donghu's wound.

The girl's gentle jade hand softly caressed and kneaded over his body, causing pangs of pain at the wound site, yet Jiang Donghu felt strangely comfortable, his old face involuntarily reddening.

Dammit! Now's not the time for such thoughts, Jiang Donghu cursed himself inwardly, ready to speak again, but Pei Jin withdrew her right hand and stood up, exhaling loudly: "Ah, borrowing your ability!"

Borrowing my ability? What does that mean? Jiang Donghu was puzzled, not yet responding, when Pei Jin had already stepped out, glancing around and asking loudly: "Speak up, all together or one by one!"

Hearing Pei Jin's arrogant words, Shanhe and Zhi Rou exchanged glances and looked at Su Xiang, awaiting the leader's orders.

"Wait a bit longer, things are getting more interesting!"
