Area 19, Sky City.
This is a sky city suspended three thousand meters above a vast ocean, hidden within the clouds. It is also the capital city of the nineteenth major region.
At this time, near the city center, a woman wearing a chiffon puff skirt, lace gloves, and a beret emerged from the void, appearing out of thin air in a bustling plaza.
The surrounding people were unfazed. spirit masters had peculiar abilities, and in a capital city where spirit masters gathered, it was common to see them suddenly appear in the crowd. As long as they didn’t commit any illegal acts, ordinary people would at most cast an envious glance and then continue with their own business.
The snow-skirt woman looked up at the skyscraper in front of her. The hundred-meter-tall skyscraper resembled an ancient giant sword planted upside down in the land, reaching directly into the sky.
[Bronze Tower]
This landmark had branches in Area 51, Area 41, Area 19, Area 10, and Area 2. According to her investigation, Mu Qingtong’s industries had expanded at a terrifying rate in less than ten months. The speed was astonishing.
The snow-skirt woman walked through the plaza, seeing many people with their backs to the Bronze Tower, making peace signs and taking photos. These people were clearly Mu Qingtong’s fans. The snow-skirt woman passed them expressionlessly. To be honest, she couldn’t understand the behavior of these fans. Was Mu Qingtong’s music really that good?
“Miss, do you have an appointment?” The receptionist stood with her hands clasped in front of her abdomen, smiling politely.
“My surname is Tea,” the snow-skirt woman said softly, tapping the desk with her knuckles. “I’m looking for your President Mu.”
“Alright, please wait a moment.” The receptionist made a call, spoke in a low voice for a few sentences, then hung up. She bowed slightly to the snow-skirt woman and made a gesturing motion, “Ms. Cha Nai Xue, please follow me.”
Cha Nai Xue walked slowly with a cold expression. This Mu Qingtong was elusive. It had taken her days to finally contact her assistant and arrange a meeting. However, according to the assistant, Mu Qingtong was very busy and told her to come to the Bronze Tower if she had something to say, and that she would see her if she had time.
She, the Holy Maiden of the Black Moon Holy See!
It wouldn’t be for any other reason than that Mu Qingtong was an external member of the Peach Organization and might know the whereabouts of Xia Feng, that she would have come here in person.
“Ms. Tea, you can wait here.” On the top floor, Cha Nai Xue sat on the sofa. The receptionist respectfully placed a cup of coffee on the coffee table and was about to leave.
“Wait?” Cha Nai Xue raised her purple eyes. “For how long?”
The receptionist’s pretty little face showed an apologetic expression. “I’m sorry, miss, I have no right to know President Mu’s schedule.”
“Based on your experience, how long would it take?”
“I’m sorry, miss, I was only recently hired…”
“…”
Forget it, I’ll wait! Cha Nai Xue sighed and waved her hand, dismissing the receptionist. She sat quietly for a moment, then looked out the floor-to-ceiling window at the thin clouds and mist, with the bustling crowds of ordinary people below.
A month ago, the slave seal that Xia Feng had imprinted on her abdomen suddenly disappeared. This was a terrifying event. It meant that Xia Feng, her master, was dead! Cha Nai Xue found it hard to believe at first. However, considering her childhood sweetheart’s various peculiar methods, she decided to wait a little longer, hoping the slave seal would reappear. Of course, she didn’t like being a slave to her childhood sweetheart. She had simply discovered a mysterious method to reverse the slave seal, so as long as the slave seal existed, she had a chance to turn the tables and become the master! This was her ultimate goal. That’s why she didn’t want Xia Feng to die.
But a whole month had passed, and the slave seal had never reappeared. This situation made her increasingly suspicious, and she finally had to come to the Bronze Tower in person to inquire about the situation. Although the outside world believed that Mu Qingtong had a bad relationship with her former fiancé Xia Feng, Cha Nai Xue knew clearly that this was merely Xia Feng’s method of protecting Mu Qingtong. After all, Xia Feng was now a notorious wanted criminal. It would obviously be detrimental to Mu Qingtong’s career as a celebrated singer, who had been placed on a pedestal, to have a relationship with a wanted criminal. Therefore, if Xia Feng were dead, Mu Qingtong would likely know the inside story.
Cha Nai Xue intended to ask about the situation. If even Mu Qingtong didn’t know about his life or death, then she would have to use the spirit artifact [Naraka’s Between] for divination.
Half an hour passed.
Cha Nai Xue drank her second cup of coffee expressionlessly. “Wait another half hour! If this woman Mu doesn’t come by then, I’m leaving! And she won’t get to know the result of my divination!”

Sky City, Holy Department Building.
Assembly Hall.
Twenty-four people, men and women, sat on both sides of the long table, looking down at the information on their tablets. At the eastern end of the long table sat an elder with thinning hair, wearing a white standard military robe. His face was aged and solemn, and his sharp eyes, which conveyed unquestionable authority, gazed quietly at the central screen.
“Red Spade again? You mean the Haisi Calamity Realm was also purged by the Peach Organization?”
“Yes, Bureau Chief sir.” A brown-haired woman in a military robe said in a deep voice, “This is what Secretary Mu and I witnessed with our own eyes.”
Mu Qingtong stood behind and to the left of the brown-haired woman, nodding calmly. The twenty-four captains and vice-captains on both sides of the long table returned to discussing the Haisi Calamity Realm and the Red Spade Persons. Mu Qingtong quietly stared at the Spade Person information flashing on the screen, her mind wandering elsewhere.
A month ago, after emerging from the River of Time and Space, she had fallen into a forest in Area 23 and spent seven days reaching Area 19. The reason she chose to settle in Area 19 was that the Ye Li Clan’s territory was in Area 19, and Ye Li Dongjun’s [Dongjun Manor] was also in Area 19. Furthermore, the Black Moon Holy See branch, where Cardinal Oberon was located, was in the neighboring Area 20. Golden Sparrow’s Sparrow God Mountain was located in Area 16. As for the remaining Tian Yuan and Uphiel, their whereabouts were unpredictable and unmonitorable, so she could only ignore them for the time being.
Under her operation, she had transferred her file in the Holy Department from Area 51 to Area 19 in seven days. The Holy Department of Area 19 welcomed her warmly, as she possessed the spirit-type B-grade spirit artifact [Eye of Spirit Protection]. Spirit-type spirit artifacts had always been scarce. Whether it was the Holy Department, the Legion, or the Holy See, they would prioritize recruiting spirit masters who possessed spirit-type spirit artifacts, even if she was only a First-stage Spirit Master. Her Eye of Spirit Protection could provide a mental defense network for her teammates, resisting all mental attacks. This was undoubtedly a very practical ability for the Holy Department of Area 19, where calamities were frequent. Of course, this ability was purely stacked by her immense mental power, and due to its sheer scale, it had formed a tangible defense network, something many gods could also achieve.
After joining the Holy Department of Area 19, she used her identity as a Holy Department agent to enter three calamity realms in twenty days. Her Spirit Pressure state successfully broke through to the True Martial First Realm. But this was still far from enough. Far from enough!
