Chapter 320: Goddess Fleet
Seeing Sister Qing in such a predicament, Corvis understood. This wasn’t a relapse of the curse, but an attack by the K-Masked Man! Could it be Puppet Technique? Had the K-Masked Man forcefully controlled Sister Qing’s body, causing her to willingly throw out spirit materials? However, the K-Masked Man showed no signs of employing a high-level Spirit Robe. Corvis’s expression darkened as he speculated, concluding this was likely the K-Masked Man’s spirit artifact ability. He never expected that in addition to the Q-Masked Man, the K-Masked Man would also be so bizarre. His spirit artifact ability could penetrate domain restrictions, and its level was likely not low.
But no matter what, even if the K-Masked Man’s spirit artifact ability was bizarre, it wouldn’t escape in the face of absolute power disparity. While thinking, Corvis said in a deep voice, “Sister Qing, please endure a little longer. The domain will be dispelled soon.”
Seeing that Corvis didn’t seem to grasp the truth, Ke Yanqing secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The explanation she wanted to give got stuck in her throat, and she didn’t say anything more. “Endure a little longer?” she thought, “But Corvis, that guy is too much of a beast, I really can’t endure it.”
At the same time, Xia Feng caught the third bag of spirit materials. He opened it and was blinded by the colorful obsidians inside, a total of 85! Added to the 20 from the previous two bags, it amounted to 105 obsidians, with a remarkable 21 Water Obsidians among them! Since the last time he fought Xize and activated the Enlightenment Domain, depleting 50 obsidians, he was left with only 8 Fire Obsidians, 4 Golden Obsidians, 4 Earth Obsidians, and 60 Water Obsidians. Excluding the 60 Water Obsidians, the other colored obsidians totaled just 16, which was far from enough to activate the Enlightenment Domain.
However, with the addition of 105 obsidians, his assets were once again abundant. Water Obsidians: 60 + 21 = 81. Other obsidians: 16 + 84 = 100. 100 was exactly enough for him to activate the Enlightenment Domain twice, which was very nice. However, he had to admit that although the Enlightenment Domain was powerful, its limitations were quite significant. The consumption of 50 obsidians alone made it unusable for ordinary people.
Xia Feng, satisfied, threw all three bags of spirit materials into his Nascent Ten Space. He then turned to the Q-Masked Man and said, “Miss Mu, we can leave now.”
“Hmm?” Mu Qingtong asked with some confusion, “That’s it?” Just now, Xia Feng had told her he had a rather immoral but good idea, and then he just stood there for a few seconds. And now the problem was solved? Although she didn’t quite understand, she nodded, “Okay, let’s go.” In fact, she had prepared for a tough fight, but avoiding unnecessary risk was also good. After all, with the commotion caused in the venue, the Element Holy See and the Holy Department would arrive soon, and they would have to face more than just three True Martial experts. The longer they stayed, the greater the danger.
“Wait, Miss Mu, what about your avatar?” Xia Feng frowned and reminded her, “Corvis probably won’t let you off the hook.” Mu Qingtong shook her head, “It’s alright. Mushroom has arranged for someone to come and pick up my avatar.”
“Ah?” Xia Feng exclaimed, “Mushroom? You’ve actually managed to contact her?!” It had been almost three months since Mushroom was taken away by the Element Holy See and became the Element Saintess. “How is Mushroom now? Is she being bullied in the Holy See?” Xia Feng asked several questions in a row.
“According to the intelligence I’ve received, Mushroom has been accepted as a disciple by the Element Pope and is increasingly valued within the Holy See,” Mu Qingtong said with a slight smile. “A member of the Peach Organization is a high-ranking nun in the Element Holy See. She informed Mushroom about our current predicament. Upon learning this, Mushroom immediately dispatched her personal guard, who should arrive within a minute. They will then escort my avatar away.”
Hearing Miss Mu’s words, Xia Feng inwardly exclaimed, “Amazing!” It seemed his decision to let Mushroom go to the Element Holy See was the right move. In less than three months, Mushroom had soared to the heavens, becoming a high-ranking figure with her own personal guard! In this case, did he also have a patron now? Xia Feng stroked his chin. After all, Mushroom was Yue Hongli’s daughter, so by extension, she was his daughter… When traveling, it was all about influence and background. In the future, when he encountered someone who relied on their parents, he could arrogantly say, “Do you know who my daughter is?” The thought made him feel wonderful.
As he thought of this, Xia Feng’s wandering thoughts paused. Wait, something felt wrong. He blinked. Dammit, did this mean the World-Ending Witch’s intelligence network had already infiltrated the high ranks of the Element Holy See? What about the other two Holy Sees?
“Mr. Xia, don’t zone out. If we waste any more time, we won’t be able to leave,” the woman said softly, bringing Xia Feng back to his senses. He clicked his tongue and looked up at Ke Yanqing. “Hurry up and open the Gui Scroll.” Ke Yanqing’s small face flushed. The bad feeling had subsided, but she didn’t dare to resist any longer. She obediently nodded, and with a thought, a scroll flew from between her eyebrows and directly entered the domain. The scroll quickly unfurled, revealing a charming ink painting of an ocean on its blank surface.
Red-Faced Ghost & Corvis: “?” Before either of them could react, the two masked figures stomped their feet and instantly appeared before the scroll. Corvis’s expression changed drastically, “Sister Qing!! You—” The Gui Scroll’s teleportation channel could be activated without any sacrifices, making it very convenient. After the two masked figures entered the painting, they instantly became small black and white figures within it.
“Ke Yanqing, what are you doing!” the Red-Faced Ghost exclaimed in disbelief and turned to yell. Corvis was also very perplexed. His expression darkened as he looked at Ke Yanqing. They had made thorough preparations for a siege, yet these two masked figures had escaped so easily?
Ke Yanqing’s expression remained unchanged. Her beautiful eyes lowered as she said softly, “I’m sorry, both of you. The K-Masked Man just controlled my life and death through unknown means. If I don’t obey him, I will die.”
“!” Corvis was stunned. Control over life and death?! The Red-Faced Ghost furrowed his brows, never expecting the K-Masked Man to possess such an outrageous ability. Today’s plan had not gone smoothly at all. But it didn’t matter anymore.
“Tsk, gentlemen, I don’t mind those two masked figures escaping,” the Red-Faced Ghost said, shaking his head and chuckling. “However, if they reveal what happened here, it might damage your Golden Sparrow Flower’s reputation.”
Neither Ke Yanqing nor Corvis spoke. Corvis narrowed his eyes and stared at Sister Qing. He felt something was wrong. Based on his understanding of Ke Yanqing, she feared no one and had no regard for her own life, so how could she be threatened into acting against her will? Ke Yanqing ignored Corvis’s gaze. She was staring intently at the two small figures in the Gui Scroll in the distance. The moment the figures completely faded, signifying the success of the teleportation, she immediately transmitted her voice, her thoughts piercing through countless spaces, and echoing in Xia Feng’s mind with chilling killing intent: “K-Masked Man! Just you wait. I will find a way to kill you, no matter where you run!”
After letting out her threat, she felt a slight release from the frustration and anger in her heart, and let out a long sigh. But in the next moment, the Gui God’s Mark deep within her soul trembled again, more violently than ever before. “!!!!” Her pupils contracted in horror, then she seemed to drift away in a daze, her red lips parting unconsciously. “I… I missed…”
“Sister Qing! We can’t just let them go like this! Open the Gui Scroll, I’ll chase them!” Corvis’s cold, deep voice rang out. She stiffly twisted her neck and met Corvis’s frosty gaze. She nodded with difficulty, her voice trembling, “Okay… okay, you go chase them.” K-Masked Man! Don’t let me find out your true identity, or I will make you… suffer… more… than… death!! Ke Yanqing’s face turned completely red. Her slender legs beneath her pleated skirt were pressed tightly together, her trembling eyelashes lowered, not daring to meet her younger brother Corvis’s eyes.
Xia Feng and Mu Qingtong appeared in a stretch of the Eternal Flow Sea. Xia Feng had summoned the Nascent Ten Sacred Armor to cover his body beforehand, so he was not swallowed by the Spacetime Turbulence. He put his arm around Miss Mu’s waist and, after discerning the direction, dared not delay. He sped northward. However, he didn’t flee for long before he had to stop, his expression grave. Ahead, a fleet was rapidly approaching in their direction, its hull emblazoned with a golden eye ‘o’ symbol.
The Burning Heaven Sacred Hall was divided into the Burning Heaven Dao and the Goddess Hall. The blood-red eye ‘o’ was the symbol of the Burning Heaven Dao. The golden eye ‘o’ was the symbol of the Goddess Hall. This fleet clearly belonged to the Goddess Hall, and their rapid approach in this direction was not random wandering, but to… Capture me!? The joy of Xia Feng’s escape instantly vanished.
