Chapter 578: Saint Aunt
At the same time.
The sky.
Amidst the dark clouds not far from the sky fortress, a solemn and dignified sect airship, painted black and white, slowly floated.
Ten men and women in rustling sect robes stood on the bow of the airship.
Nine of them were led by a tall woman in the center.
The woman was clad in a pure white sacred robe, with a seven-pointed star that blazed like a fiery flame on the back of the robe. A hood, subtly engraved with a light gold cross, covered her head. A golden mask, adhering to her skin, concealed her face, revealing only half of her delicate lower jaw.
“My beauty, how about we grab a drink later if you’re free?” a effeminate man with narrowed eyes approached from behind, hands in his pockets, with a playful, light smile.
“How dare you!”
Beside him, a golden knight’s face turned displeased, his tone cold. “Ye Lixuanqi, even your Mr. Dong Jun wouldn’t dare to be so disrespectful to the Saint Aunt. Are you seeking death?”
The golden knight’s presence was as imposing as a lion’s, his gaze terrifying.
Ye Lixuanqi glanced at the surrounding Element believers behind the knight. Seeing their numbers, he smiled and took half a step back.
“I was overjoyed to see such a beautiful woman, but it seems I was indeed rash. I hope the Saintess doesn’t mind.”
The Element Saintess was gazing into the distance. Hearing the voice, her beautiful eyes under the golden mask flicked towards Ye Lixuanqi before she withdrew her gaze and said indifferently, “Scram.”
Ye Lixuanqi’s breath hitched. She gave him absolutely no face.
This group from the Element Holy See had important matters to discuss with Mr. Dong Jun at the sky fortress. He was tasked with guiding them and then he encountered this Element Saintess, who had recently become famous.
Though he couldn’t see her entire face, she looked like a beauty, which made him curious.
He hadn’t expected this woman to be so arrogant. His attempts to strike up a conversation had failed several times, and she simply didn’t care about him.
However, he wasn’t in a hurry. He heard that this beauty would be staying here for some time, so he had plenty of opportunities.
“Saint Aunt, something seems wrong,” said the golden knight at that moment, his expression solemn as he gazed into the distance.
The three great Holy Sees had different names for their Holy Sons and Holy Daughters. The Holy See of Justice called them Divine Sons or Holy Sons, while the Element Holy See called them Saint Aunt or Saintess.
The Element Saintess looked up and saw, in the distance, a large number of ships passing through the mist and sailing towards them.
“It’s the army of the Li Dong Legion.”
The Element Saintess frowned. After a moment, a burly man, built like a tower, flew out from the orderly ranks of ships.
Ye Lixuanqi recognized the man as one of Mr. Dong Jun’s six trusted confidants. He quickly stepped forward. “Lord Ba, why are you here?”
“My wife has met with misfortune and has been imprisoned in an unknown cave by an evil disciple. Ye Lixuanqi, you will immediately accompany me to rescue my wife.”
The burly man said in a deep voice, then cupped his fist towards the Element Saintess. “Your Excellency Saintess, the sky base is just ahead, you can head there directly. However, Mr. Dong Jun is not in a good mood at the moment and is unlikely to continue discussing cooperation. So, what do you say…”
The Element Saintess was silent for a moment. The eyes beneath her golden mask were deep. She said softly, with a hint of confusion, “The wife you speak of, is it Freya?”
The burly man was startled, then nodded. “Indeed.”
He remembered that this Saintess had studied at Weiyang Academy in Area 51, and was likely one of his wife’s students. She might have even known Xia Feng.
“Teacher Freya has the grace of instruction for me. Our Element Holy See can accompany you to rescue her.”
“This…” The burly man hesitated. This was not part of Mr. Dong Jun’s plan.
“Your Excellency unwilling?”
Her voice devoid of any emotion, the beautiful eyes beneath the Element Saintess’s mask grew cold. The burly man felt an inexplicable pressure. He narrowed his eyes and nodded, cupping his fist. “If Your Excellency Saintess wishes to lend us a hand, it would naturally be a good thing.”
“Time is of the essence,” the burly man said, no longer wasting words. “We have located the evil disciple’s position at Wulin Mountain in the western suburbs. Let’s depart immediately.”
Under the night sky.
Twenty ink-black military warships streaked across the firmament, piercing the dark clouds, and flew at a speed almost invisible to the naked eye towards the western suburbs.
Amidst the bustling skyscrapers, Spirit Masters looked up. Those with keen eyesight could vaguely see the afterimages of the warships.
However, they were used to it. After all, warships would occasionally fly out from the sky fortress, either for military exercises or because a powerful Nightmare Beast had descended into the Real World, and the Holy Department needed their assistance in clearing it out.
Li Tian City, with its stationed legions, was several times safer than other cities. Incidents where large numbers of civilians died due to disasters were almost non-existent.
It was just that this time, deploying twenty warships was a very rare occurrence.
Such military strength would be enough to deal with three Venerable First Realm cultivators. If the warships were also equipped with a Li Dong Legion’s epic God Relic, the King Descending Star, even a Venerable Third Realm expert would be in serious trouble!
“Ding dong~”
In the Bronze Tower, Mu Qingtong had just finished preparing the formula for the promotion potion to ascend to Venerable. She was about to call Mr. Xia to ask why he hadn’t returned yet.
However, she unexpectedly received a message.
“Mr. Xia: Mu Shen~ Urgent! Need immediate assistance! (Attached. Location map)”
Mu Qingtong sometimes truly admired Mr. Xia’s ability to get into trouble. In less than a few hours, he had caused another incident.
But fortunately, she had already figured out how to ascend to Venerable.
Moreover, the strategy to pursue Mr. Xia might also be completed thoroughly with this opportunity!
She would make that guy confess his feelings to her!

Xia Feng had gone to great lengths to help Ye Li Dongjun complete the Holy Solution.
After reluctantly and under duress, exchanging a kiss with Teacher Freya for six minutes, he finally unlatched the restraints that had been holding her.
As for why the kiss, which originally only needed three minutes, stretched to six.
Don’t ask. The reason is he needed more editing material.
This was how he perfectly completed the task given by that Mr. Dong Jun.
“Mmm…” The woman with wine-red hair had a flushed face, her plump body felt soft and weak as she leaned into Xia Feng’s arms. The burning heat on her cheeks rested against his neck, her rapid, sweet breaths had not yet subsided, and she let out a soft gasp.
Xia Feng patted her back, trying to help her up. “Teacher, are you alright?”
Freya recovered from the dizzying sensation of softness. The long eyelashes fluttered slightly.
The blush on her face gradually faded. She frowned and stood up, her cold and beautiful little face instantly turning serious. However, she then chuckled and patted Xia Feng’s head.
“I didn’t expect that for someone so young, your kissing skills are quite good.”
Freya spoke with an air of experienced nonchalance, as if to say ‘I’m experienced, you’re still young,’ playfully teasing him. “But compared to me, Teacher, you still have a lot of techniques to learn~”
Xia Feng smiled and remained silent, not refuting. His kissing skills were honed in his battles with the World-Ending Witch, and had long since reached perfection! Unbeatable!
He could see through this little Teacher Freya at a glance. She was just a novice who couldn’t even open her mouth, completely lacking in experience or skill.
“Teacher, now is not the time to compare who is better.”
Xia Feng looked towards the open cave entrance. Calculating the time, the people Ye Li Dongjun sent to rescue Teacher Freya should be arriving soon.
