Chapter 552 S-Rank Fugitive
“Who made the move? Step forward.”
The commanding tone, lofty and arrogant, made Xia Feng really want to slap this guy a few times.
However, Xia Feng was still polite and answered truthfully, “Your dad did it. What’s it to you?”
Flashing a sharp tongue, a faint killing intent flickered in the deep, calm, and indifferent pupils of Ye Li Dongjun.
He didn’t continue to reprimand the person’s rude disrespect. Instead, he gave the black-haired boy a deep look, then swept his gaze towards the three women in the distance.
His gaze locked onto the Element Nun. The nun’s hood covered the upper half of her face, and the exquisite lower half that was visible was indeed Teresa’s.
But at this moment, Ye Li Dongjun already knew this woman’s other identity.
The mental attack method Teresa had just used was the same as the one employed by the Q-Masked Man in various crimes reported from different places.
This woman was the Q-Masked Man.
He hadn’t expected this unexpected bonus.
According to the intelligence collected, the Q-Masked Man was not simple, and his origins were mysterious. If it was the Q-Masked Man who made the move, then with Ye Li Kong’s arrogant personality, he might indeed stumble.
Ye Li Dongjun withdrew his gaze, his emotions calm and neither joyful nor sorrowful. He finally glanced at Xia Feng, “This Lord will wait for you in Area 15.”
“Of course, you’d best pray you can successfully reach Area 15.”
As his gentle and calm voice gradually faded, the stone imbued with the azure eyes shattered with a bang, transforming into spiritual light and disappearing completely.
He just left like that? Xia Feng frowned, looking at the spot where the eyes had vanished. He hadn’t even had a chance to ask this guy why he insisted on killing the Saintess.
But, fine.
In Xia Feng’s opinion, all conflicts in this world, at their root, were due to conflicts of interest.
Therefore, Ye Li Dongjun’s actions could have two possible explanations.
First possibility: Ye Li Dongjun and the Black Moon Holy See were in a hostile relationship.
—Someone high up in the Black Moon Holy See had conflicting interests with Ye Li Dongjun’s. By killing the two Saintesses, Ye Li Dongjun could obtain the greatest benefit, a massive profit that he could not ignore and was willing to risk.
Second possibility: Ye Li Dongjun and the Black Moon Holy See were in a cooperative relationship.
—The interests of a certain high-ranking church official aligned with Ye Li Dongjun’s. That official found it inconvenient to act personally, so they hired Ye Li Dongjun.
Thinking of this, Xia Feng couldn’t help but shake his head and stop overthinking.
After all, no matter which possibility was true, the conflict between him and Ye Li Dongjun was inevitable.
Looking back, he had first killed Ye Li Dongjun’s son, Ye Li H, and now his disciple, Ye Li Kong.
Even earlier, he had actually killed many pawns of the Ye Li Royal Family.
But that was far from enough.
Compared to the one hundred thousand soldiers from White Emperor City who were killed by Ye Li Dongjun, even if Ye Li Dongjun was left without descendants, it would still be too little!
Just as Xia Feng was lost in thought, a cold killing intent flashed in his deep black eyes.
Mo Zixin, who had been silent all this time, minimizing his presence, was trembling, cold sweat streaming down his face.
He still couldn’t understand. How could this have happened?!
From Ye Li Kong’s confident use of the Rill Domain Blade to the blade being absorbed by this terrifying fellow, everything happened in the blink of an eye, and the situation suddenly reversed—
Ye Li Kong was instantly killed! Without even a chance to struggle.
It’s over. Looking at the indifferent gaze of the black-haired boy, Mo Zixin’s heart was completely filled with fear. He understood that it wasn’t that Ye Li Kong, a super genius, was too weak, but that the being before him was too strong and his methods were too strange!
This was not a Fifth-stage Divine Half-dragon, this was a devil!
Mo Zixin’s lips pulled into an ugly, fawning smile, his eyes filled with subservience. He opened his mouth to say something.
The next moment, his Spirit Base and Spirit Substance were swallowed by a terrifying Bloodworm. His soul collapsed, and the light in his fawning, awkward eyes became vacant and empty.
Xia Feng casually destroyed Mo Zixin’s corpse as well, then raised his head.
He and the three women, already protected by the Ice Robe, had left the Ice God’s Remains and were now in the berserk Eternal Flow Sea, gazing from afar at the complete form of the Ice God’s Remains.
It was a giant creature made entirely of ice-blue light flow, like a Xuanwu from ancient myths, majestic as a mountain, stretching across the center of the dark, lightless sea current, floating serenely.
“This Legendary God Relic belongs to the Mo Clan’s power factions. However, due to its inability to be moved or stored, the Mo Clan had to establish a military Cloud Platform near these Remains to guard and monitor them.”
Cha Nai Xue looked around the quiet Eternal Flow Sea, musing, “The Ice God’s Remains have shown such abnormal activity, yet the military Cloud Platform hasn’t sent a fleet to investigate. This indicates that Mo Zixin’s actions were likely not personal, but authorized by the Mo Clan.”
Hearing her explanation, Xia Feng clicked his tongue and shook his head, “The Mo Clan’s power factions and the Ye Li Royal Family are colluding to kill you two. What terrible sins did you commit to deserve such a grand mobilization?”
The two women frowned, also clearly not understanding.
“Let’s go.” Mu Qingtong pointed in a direction and said softly, “Supply Cloud Platform N903 is nearby. According to estimates, an Imperial Star Iron transport with a final destination of Area 13 will be docking at N903.”
!
Xia Feng nodded and flew in that direction.
The Holy Knight within the Nascent Ten Holy Bow possessed the ability to create an alternate dimension: the Holy Knight Space.
But in fact, the Holy Knight itself could transform into any form of transportation, navigate any natural environment, and protect its riders from environmental damage (such as Thunder Bursts, high temperatures, high concentrations of Calamity Force, and Spacetime Turbulence).
The duration of the Holy Knight’s effectiveness depended on the number of passengers: 60 days/1 person, 30 days/2 people, 7 days/4 people.
The journey to Area 15 was long, and the Holy Knight wouldn’t last much longer. Xia Feng had the Holy Knight transform into a shuttle-shaped spacecraft, carrying the four of them. Under his mental control, they quickly approached the vicinity of Cloud Platform N903.
After waiting for a while longer, Xia Feng heard a melodious and clear chime like a great bell. In the depths of the dark sea current ahead, a crimson-gold cross-shaped star light suddenly flickered, rapidly expanding and moving at an extremely high speed.
The bullet-like front of the train flashed past Xia Feng’s eyes.
The body of the train seemed to be inlaid with fragments of stars, twinkling with points of starlight in the abyssal darkness.
Through the crystal glass windows, one could vaguely see the soft light inside and passengers working or dozing, like phantoms, sliding rapidly from right to left.
It was a full kilometer long, like a giant crystallized dragon traversing the starry sky.
Admittedly, this was Xia Feng’s first time riding the Imperial Star Iron, and it felt quite novel.
However, after boarding and looking around, he realized it was not much different from an ordinary subway.
In the consecutive carriage sections, two rows of silver chairs faced each other, with a sparse scattering of people.
The interior decoration was very sci-fi, with interlacing light and shadow, and the environment was serene and quiet, with minimal conversation from the passengers.
Xia Feng and the other three found a secluded spot and sat down. Not long after.
The in-train broadcast suddenly announced:
“Attention passengers, we are interrupting to broadcast an S-Rank wanted notice.”
“【S-Rank Fugitive – Feng Jiany】 has been sighted in the Eternal Flow Sea region of Area 13 and is possibly fleeing towards the areas behind it.
This fugitive was formerly a【Spirit Science Institute – Senior Researcher】and committed the heinous crime of slaughtering 163 compatriots. Their strength is unknown, and they are extremely dangerous. Imperial citizens with any clues can report them directly to any official agency with law enforcement authority.
The Empire will provide corresponding rewards based on the importance of the clues.”
“A reminder, the target is extremely dangerous and may be carrying a deadly virus. Do not act rashly if you encounter this person. Please report to the police or contact official agencies immediately after confirming your safety!”
