Chapter 562: Discovery
Xia Feng looked at Feng Nuoyi thoughtfully. It was clear that Feng Jianyi loved his daughter very much.
Seeing the “scumbag big brother” staring at her strangely, Feng Nuoyi tugged at her father’s clothes, shrank back, and murmured fearfully, “Big brother, I’m still young, it’s impossible between us.”
“?”
Brat, who wants to be possible with you.
Xia Feng realized that Feng Jianyi’s daughter looked young, only about six or seven years old, but her mind was far beyond her peers. She was a cunning child.
He shook his head and looked out the window again.
Jing Jiu recovered from his surprise and had already flown forward to carriage No. 4, gradually moving away. Jing Jiu was skilled in spatial arts, and this distance was far from enough to escape. He still had to wait.
At this moment, a commotion caught Xia Feng’s attention. He turned to look.
Jin Jili was standing in the middle of carriage No. 126, holding a vermillion-golden feather in his palm. A faint red ripple swept through the entire carriage. Seeing nothing unusual, he continued to move forward.
Carriage No. 127, Carriage No. 128…
Scanning one carriage in three seconds, Jin Jili quickly reached carriage No. 129, where Xia Feng and the others were.
Xia Feng frowned, feeling that something was about to go wrong.
As expected, as the faint red ripple swept across the seats where Xia Feng and the five others were, Jin Jili narrowed his eyes and slowly turned his head.
The Divine Sparrow Feather Mirror revealed their true appearances. In Jin Jili’s eyes, Feng Jianyi’s disguise was completely exposed. What surprised Jin Jili even more was that the woman sitting opposite Feng Jianyi also changed her appearance, revealing her true self. It was Jiang Qiue!
The Divine Sparrow Feather Mirror could only reveal the target’s true appearance after absorbing the target’s blood. Jiang Qiue’s blood had clearly not been absorbed by the mirror, yet her disguise was broken. This could only mean one thing: that Jiang Qiue – this Black Moon Saintess – was actually a Star God?! Or rather, she was once a Star God, and due to various reasons, she was now in a weakened state!
Upon discovering this truth, Jin Jili’s breathing quickened. A strange smile spread across his lips, and his cold gaze swept rapidly over the passengers around Jiang Qiue. Two women, a young man, a little girl, and a middle-aged man. The middle-aged man was Feng Jianyi, and the little girl was presumably his daughter. As for the young man, he was likely the Divine Half-dragon cultivated by Jiang Qiue. The identities of the remaining two women were unknown. However, it didn’t matter.
Jin Jili smiled lightly and walked forward slowly without speaking. On the low table in the center of the six people’s seats, a line of pale white text appeared: “Saintess Qiue, how have you been?”
Everyone immediately understood that this guy had ulterior motives and had no intention of reporting his findings directly to Jing Jiu.
Xia Feng glanced out the window. To cooperate with the Heavenly Revelation’s investigation, the Star Iron was traveling very slowly, and the spacetime stability around them remained high, not yet entering the unstable zone. This was troublesome.
While contemplating, the pale white text on the table quickly changed again, saying, “My request is simple, Saintess Qiue. As long as you are willing to take this poison, I will pretend I haven’t seen you. A very fair trade, don’t you think~” As the text disappeared, it coalesced into a vermillion capsule, which landed lightly in the center of the table.
Jin Jili walked past the six people’s seats with a calm smile.
Jiang Qiue’s eyelids flickered. A hint of cold killing intent flashed in her ethereal, beautiful eyes. “I should have killed this person when I had the chance in the Holy See,” Jiang Qiue’s cold voice transmitted through the Bee Swarm Will to Xia Feng’s mind. “But it’s not too late now. Do you have a way?”
In fact, as long as they could create Spacetime Turbulence, killing Jin Jili would not be difficult. Xia Feng’s black eyes narrowed. In his peripheral vision, he finally saw the azure blue sea currents outside the Star Iron showing faint, distorted lines, a sign of decreasing spacetime stability.
At the same time, the text on the table changed again.
[Feng Jianyi, if you want you and your daughter to live, then persuade this Saintess. Otherwise, heh~ What kind of suffering your daughter might endure when she falls into the hands of those noble lords, you, as a father, can you bear to see your daughter suffer such hardship?]
Feng Jianyi’s initially peaceful gaze suddenly turned cold. However, he did not say anything. He simply hugged his daughter and sat with his eyes closed, waiting.
Xia Feng directly reached out and threw the vermillion capsule into the Nascent Ten Space. Jin Jili’s slow footsteps paused. His effeminate face darkened slightly.
[Kid, are you making a decision for your master?]
“So noisy,” Xia Feng frowned, silently waiting for the Star Iron to approach the low-stability Eternal Flow Sea ahead.
!
As long as they entered it, he would pull everyone into the Holy Knight Space, summon the Refining God Tower, and create Spacetime Turbulence. The faster this operation could be completed, the better. He had to plunge into the River of Time and Space before Jing Jiu could react. Xia Feng continuously simulated the upcoming actions in his mind.
However, just as he was about to act, he couldn’t help but be stunned. The Pale Contract Seal deep within his soul pulsed.
[What, Saintess? Is this your attitude?]
The text on the table changed again, but no one paid any attention. Jin Jili took a few more steps forward. Seeing that Jiang Qiue was completely unfazed, his effeminate face gradually showed displeasure. But he was helpless.
Fine, Jiang Qiue, do you really think I can’t deal with you!
Knowing that he couldn’t secretly control this aloof Saintess, who was very likely a Star God, Jin Jili’s lips twitched. He turned around, his effeminate eyes filled with mockery, “I’ve already given you a chance, Saintess Qiue, but unfortunately, you don’t know how to cherish it.” With that said, he directly called out in his heart, “Lord Jing Jiu.”
Whoosh—
The spot beside Jin Jili was empty just a moment ago. Before anyone could react, a tall silver-armored knight emerged from space. That majestic and cold gaze followed Jin Jili’s line of sight and quickly locked onto Xia Feng and the others.
“So fast!” Xia Feng’s black pupils contracted slightly. He clearly saw this guy had already run to carriage No. 2. Each section of the Star Iron was a hundred meters long and could separate to travel independently. When linked together, the distance from No. 2 to No. 129 was over ten thousand meters! However, this vast distance was merely a step for Jing Jiu.
Seeing this situation, Xia Feng was not flustered. There was no point in panicking anyway; there was no way to escape with normal methods now. In other words, in the instant he hesitated when the Pale Contract Seal pulsed, he had already missed the best opportunity to escape.
It’s fine if I missed it. Xia Feng calmly raised his head. Jing Jiu’s gaze swept over the six people and then turned to Jin Jili: “Who is it?”
Jin Jili shook his head: “Lord Jing Jiu, I didn’t find Feng Jianyi.”
“?” Jing Jiu’s gray eyes instantly turned icy. “Are you seeking death?”
“!” Jin Jili couldn’t suppress the fear rising in his heart. He subconsciously took a step back and quickly said, “Lord Jing Jiu, I just discovered another suspected criminal.” Jin Jili had received instructions from Sparrow God Mountain before coming for the joint investigation. If there was an opportunity, he was to bring Feng Jianyi to Sparrow God Mountain. Therefore, he naturally wouldn’t cooperate honestly with the Heavenly Revelation Knight’s investigation. He assumed Feng Jianyi wouldn’t be foolish enough to reveal himself.
