Chapter 559: Chapter 559. Have to Make It Work Even If It’s Impossible!
Although there was no A-class spirit paper, the conditions offered by Feng Jianyi were indeed generous and full of allure.
Moreover, it included the Synchronized Pendant, a treasure that greatly moved Xia Feng.
“If you agree to this price,” Feng Jianyi tapped the table, his honest and ordinary face filled with sincerity, “then can you tell me if you truly have a way to help my daughter and me escape to a safe place?”
His tone was slightly doubtful, his eyes narrowing, “After all, it seems you are also trapped in this cage right now?”
“…”
Ah, this is a good question. Xia Feng blinked. Dazzled by so many good things, he indeed… hadn’t considered whether he could escape successfully himself.
Not to mention how to bring Feng Jianyi and his daughter to escape to a safe place together.
Xia Feng’s expression was calm, as if he wasn’t worried about Feng Jianyi’s question. He simply smiled and asked, “Mr. Feng, do you know the troop deployment of Heavenly Revelation and the Holy Department?”
“Heaven’s Revelation Knight, Jing Jiu, Venerable Four. Bureau Chief of the Third Area’s Holy Department, Lin Tianhou, Venerable Two. There are about 200 Holy Department agents, scattered on the Star Iron performing search work. Their strength is not high; they are all low to mid-level Spirit Masters.”
“The Holy Department is not to be feared. The most difficult to deal with are Jing Jiu’s ten True Martial Realm attendant knights. Although they are not Venerables, the Spirit Robe formation they form under the blessing of God Relics possesses the power of a Venerable Four.”
“This is equivalent to having two Venerable Fours guarding, blockading the entire Star Iron. Even if you use methods like hiding in alternate spaces or long-distance space jumps to escape, you won’t be able to escape Jing Jiu’s pursuit.”
“Space jumps can’t escape either? Why?”
“Almost all the A-class Spirit Robes he has mastered are related to space, especially in pursuit and blockade. No criminal has ever escaped Jing Jiu’s pursuit, which is why he was insultingly called ‘Hyena Jing Jiu’ by former imperial rebels.”
“Not only is he fast, but he is also extremely patient. Once he sets his sights on you, it’s a life-or-death chase, determined to bite off a piece of you.”
At this point, Feng Jianyi sighed, his expression not very good. Jing Jiu had been chasing him across several areas, and finally, he had nowhere left to run.
However, luckily, there’s always a way out. When Feng Jianyi left the restroom earlier, he overheard his daughter mention seeing an aunt in a green dress with a fox tail.
He instantly realized that this woman was likely connected to the legendary Nine-Tails Star God!
Perhaps… she was the reincarnation of the Nine-Tails Star God?
What surprised him even more was that his daughter said this mysterious existence, suspected to be Nine-Tails, had a master-servant contract link with the young man beside her.
Nine-Tails was the servant, and the young man was the master!
Later, he asked his daughter to draw a portrait of their true appearances based on her memory, and then he discovered that the woman in the green dress was actually the Black Moon Saintess, Jiang Qiue!
And the mysterious young man was a wanted criminal, Xia Feng, who had been on the run for a long time and was almost forgotten by the world – a B-grade wanted criminal.
Although he was strange and surprised by their identities, Feng Jianyi had no intention of delving too deep.
After all.
Regardless of the reason, since Jiang Qiue chose to disguise her appearance, it meant she did not want to reveal her identity here.
As a wanted criminal, Xia Feng naturally would not want the Heavenly Revelation Knight to discover his true identity.
The duty of the Heavenly Revelation Knights was to crack down on all individuals and organizations that harmed the interests of the Empire, and Empire wanted criminals were also within their scope of action.
Once encountered, they would not waste any words and would directly attack and exterminate.
Therefore, Feng Jianyi understood that Xia Feng and Jiang Qiue had the same goal as him.
To cooperate more efficiently and to accurately ascertain the other party’s general strength, he deliberately lowered his stance, using the method of seeking help and offering rewards to test the other party.
The result could not be said to be disappointing.
But it didn’t make him very happy either. If Xia Feng had asked for S-class spirit paper at an exorbitant price, it would have indicated that he had the strength to break through the blockade and help him and his daughter escape.
As it turned out, Xia Feng only asked for A-class spirit paper… Well, even that was a reward he couldn’t afford.
But it also indirectly proved that the young man’s current strength was not enough to handle a peerless item like S-class spirit paper, which was why the young man hadn’t even considered it.
Of course, what truly confirmed the young man’s strength for Feng Jianyi was the Sky-Mending Stone Embryo.
This item was the core spirit material for ascending to Venerable. The young man wanting this item strongly suggested that his daughter had seen that the young man’s True Martial Realm was not a false pretense, and that the young man had indeed not even reached the Venerable Realm!
How could he escape under the nose of Hyena Jing Jiu?
It was a question whether the young man could escape to a safe place himself.
Despite his doubts, Feng Jianyi did not choose to cancel the transaction. Instead, he directly threw out his most sincere offer.
As for why he was still willing to continue negotiating with Xia Feng…
It was for no other reason.
Purely because this Black Moon Saintess, despite being a Venerable and suspected to be the Nine-Tails Star God, had become Xia Feng’s servant and was submissive.
This reason alone was enough for him to take the risk.
!
Moreover.
Now that he was in a desperate situation, he could only try his best no matter the odds.
Xia Feng listened carefully to the troop deployment of Heavenly Revelation and the Holy Department, and felt a bit bad.
Hyena Jing Jiu, who no one could escape from his pursuit… he mused in his heart. If that were the case, then it would indeed be over.
However, after a moment of contemplation.
Xia Feng still thought of a general, possible… estimated method to escape to a safe place.
Well, although he wasn’t confident in this method himself, since it had come to this…
559.Have to Make It Work Even If It’s Impossible!
Xia Feng glanced at the ‘Synchronized Ring’ displayed on the tablet, then looked up and smiled lightly, “Deal.”
He wasn’t doing this for becoming a Venerable, nor for obtaining the Synchronized Ring. He was purely being helpful~~
“Oh? You’re confident?” Feng Jianyi’s eyes narrowed slightly.
“Naturally,” Xia Feng smiled faintly. If he lacked confidence, he would have to pretend to have it. Confidence is the peak. “Mr. Feng, please rest assured. A mere Venerable Four Heavenly Revelation Knight is not a cause for concern.”
Watching Xia Feng’s indifferent and superior demeanor, Jiang Qiue pursed her lips and silently withdrew her gaze. This scoundrel was getting more and more shameless.
In such a desperate situation, how could they escape?
She had also heard of the reputation of Hyena Jing Jiu. He was indeed very strong, and they truly couldn’t escape.
“Since you are confident, I will also choose to trust you,” Feng Jianyi nodded and said in a deep voice, “As for the reward, once you help my daughter and me escape pursuit, you can go to Area 15, Li Tian City, to collect it yourself.”
He placed two intertwined gold and silver keys on the table, with the numbers 7 and 8 written on them respectively.
“The Sky-Mending Stone Embryo, Sky-Mending Stone Embryo, and God Relic – Synchronized Ring are all in Laboratory No. 7. The God Relic – Cicada’s Cry at the Time of Death is in Laboratory No. 8.”
Saying this, he took out a black leather map and a blood-storage test tube and pushed them in front of Xia Feng.
“This is the location of the two laboratories. The blood-storage test tube contains my special blood, which is also required to enter the laboratories. The map details how to use it.”
Xia Feng blinked, looking at the items in front of him, feeling helpless. He had thought Feng Jianyi would be able to produce the items immediately.
However, judging by Feng Jianyi’s posture, the laboratories were not just scattered around the Empire, but at least across several major areas.
He probably wouldn’t have time to collect all the property from each laboratory during the escape.
Fortunately, the laboratories were located in Area 15, which was coincidentally on their way.
