Chapter 265: Miss Mu, are you planning to offer tribute of submission?
“Mr. Xia, help me protect me.”
“Okay.”
Although Xia Feng didn’t understand why, he still spread Bronze Concealment to cover the two of them, then vigilantly scanned the surroundings.
Mu Qingtong stood behind Xia Feng. She closed her eyes, and a purple crystal on the center of her cool and aloof little face was emitting increasingly divine light.
At the same time, Xia Feng also received a sense from his heart.
[The excessively berserk divine power almost destroyed the rules constructed by the Fate Stone. Mu Qingtong quickly thought, reanalyzed the underlying rules, and in the process of helping the Fate Stone perfectly absorb divine power and convert it into life force, her mental power unexpectedly increased by 100 soc. Your mental power has increased by 100 soc.]
[Current Mental Power: 558 soc]
Above 300 was the scope of Pu Wu (Rank 5), and 500-1000 was the scope of Zhen Wu (Rank 5). Xia Feng didn’t expect such a pleasant surprise, which directly elevated his mental power to another great level.
The sweet spring nourished his soul, making him feel comfortable all over. His thoughts also became more agile, as if a fine current was flowing rapidly in his brain. Xia Feng truly felt the exhilaration of a climax.
A full 100 soc of mental power. If it were in the Evil Dragon Space, it would probably take 24 hours of continuous absorption.
Speaking of the Evil Dragon Space, Xia Feng suddenly remembered something. A drop of shimmering golden water appeared in his palm.
This was Origin Water. When the Pale Contract Seal awakened just now, he had sensed this drop of golden water within Freya, so he had absorbed it.
It didn’t react when he held it, neither being absorbed by the Calamity Demon Heart nor triggering any anomalies in the Dragon God’s True Name.
Xia Feng was a little bewildered. This Origin Water was very likely related to the Origin Egg. As for what kind of relationship, he would probably have to ask Miss Evil Dragon.
Xia Feng put the Origin Water back into the space of the Nash Holy Bow and looked back at Miss Mu.
Mu Qingtong’s eyes were still closed, and her hands clasped the crystal in the air, releasing ripples of pale purple light.
This time, it was considered good luck.
The Shadow Puppets used a specific Divine Grace Spirit Robe to condense divine power, but they couldn’t change the structure and nature of that divine power. The condensed weapon was still pure divine power, so it could be directly absorbed by the Fate Stone.
If a true god were to use divine power to attack, they would definitely alter the structure of the divine power to gain greater power. Such divine power attacks would then be unabsorbable by the Fate Stone.

Mu Qingtong could feel the terrifying divine power within the Fate Stone constantly dissolving and shrinking, while her life force kept expanding.
Below the city wall, the old soldiers silently gazed into the distance, none of them speaking.
The battle ended too quickly; they didn’t even have time to think and were still in a daze.
When they saw the enemy’s A-class Spirit Robe appear, their hearts had already sunk completely. They didn’t expect the Q-Masked Man and K-Masked Man to use A-class Spirit Robes one after another.
It directly stunned the enemies.
And just as they heaved a sigh of relief, when the enemy produced a divine spear again, they were already numb, not thinking that the divine spear could pose any threat to the two black-robed experts.
Then…
Then, as they expected, that trash divine spear was easily dealt with by the Q-Masked Man. Too weak.
After all the enemies on the Blue Whale were dealt with.
The old soldiers finally recovered from their emotions of continuous shock to numbness, and then fell into a long silence.
Although they couldn’t clearly see the images of the enemies on the Blue Whale due to the extreme distance, they were all too familiar with that Blue Whale. It was the ‘Devouring Whale’ of the Li Dong Legion, a creation of a God Relic, possessing very powerful teleportation abilities and greatly enhancing the mobility of the Li Dong Legion.
And that self-destructing A-class Spirit Robe, Shiva Heavenly Aspect, was also a legacy Spirit Robe of the Li Dong Legion.
From this, it could be basically concluded that those who could control the Half-dragon legion and guide the Nightmare Beasts to attack the city were not the Nightmare Clan, but the human race of the Empire itself!
“So, who have we been fighting for thirty years, and for whom have we been defending our city?”
After a long period of silence, an old soldier finally murmured, but he still couldn’t quite believe what he was seeing.
Earlier, when these three outsiders said the White Egret Campaign had ended thirty years ago, they didn’t believe it. But now, the truth seemed even more brutal than what was said before—
Not only had the White Egret Campaign ended thirty years ago, but the Empire had also been disguised as the Nightmare Clan, sending troops to attack them, trapping and killing them for thirty years, resulting in the deaths of a hundred thousand soldiers and civilians!
But how could such a thing be considered in any way plausible?
They really couldn’t think of any reason why the Empire would do this, or perhaps it was just the private actions of the Li Dong Legion?
What was the purpose of the Li Dong Legion? What benefits could they gain from trapping and killing them?
The faces of the old soldiers turned pale and bewildered, with a hint of despair in their eyes. They still harbored doubts, perhaps they were overthinking things?
“Alright, everyone, before we figure out the truth, don’t overthink!”
Li Zaishi took a deep breath and sternly scanned the crowd. “If you want to know the truth, then we must all return alive, return to the Empire, and witness the truth with our own eyes.”
The crowd came back to their senses, and after two seconds of silence, they all stood at attention and said solemnly, “Yes!”
Lin Musen stood by, his eyes dazed and lost, silently looking at these old soldiers. He was also somewhat puzzled, what did the Li Dong Legion want to do?
“Lord Lin, please be a witness then.” Li Zaishi turned around, his expression solemn and serious. “Let the world know that we are not sinners, and are worthy of the Empire!”
“Naturally.”
Lin Musen’s expression also became stern. He looked around at the old soldiers, his gaze solemn. “Please rest assured, if there are indeed grievances and conspiracies, the laws of the Empire will vindicate you!”

The divine power was completely dispelled, and the life force value surged by a large margin. The mysterious purple light emanating from the surface of the Fate Stone became even more dazzling.
As the halo flowed, it silently entered Mu Qingtong’s eyebrows, and she slowly opened her eyes.
“Done?” Xia Feng asked curiously. “How was the harvest?”
“Not bad.” Mu Qingtong nodded with satisfaction. “An unprecedented harvest.”
Based on past experience, 1000 life force value was enough to wish for a very rare Spirit Material. Her highest accumulated life force value had only reached a little over a thousand.
Of course, she hadn’t absorbed divine power that many times.
Now that she had as much as 8000, she could properly consider what good things to wish for.
She thought for a moment, then smiled lightly and raised her eyes. “Mr. Xia, what gift do you want?”
“Me?” Xia Feng was a little surprised, rubbing his chin. “Miss Mu, are you planning to offer me tribute of submission?”
“It seems you don’t really want it then.”
Mu Qingtong nodded, turned, and walked towards White Emperor City. “That’s fine, if you don’t want it, forget it.”
“Hey, hey, don’t.” Xia Feng quickly caught up. “I want it, I want it. Whatever you give me, I’ll take it. I’m not picky, Miss Mu.”
