Chapter 612: Miss Mu’s Threat
Chapter 613: Bronze Decisive Battle Peak
“Please don’t do anything that makes me angry, okay?”
It was a question, but it clearly carried a condescending command, with an underlying, undeniable and dangerous chill.
Xia Feng really wanted to laugh at this.
Without even acting, the disdain on the corner of his lips was from the heart. “Miss Mu, what are you pretending for?”
Xia Feng slapped her hand away, then somewhat heavily patted her delicate and cool face, filled with mockery. “You’ve become a Venerable, gotten arrogant, and really think you’re invincible now?”
Mu Qingtong had achieved inner peace in the face of Mr. Xia’s extremely contemptuous actions and tone.
After all, ignorance breeds fearlessness.
Before Mr. Xia completely surrendered, she would allow him to act presumptuously a few more times.
In the future, the foolish Mr. Xia would no longer have this opportunity.
Seeing Mu Qingtong look at him with a calm and composed expression, Xia Feng couldn’t help but be confused. She wasn’t angry?
However, he quickly understood. Was Miss Mu feeling confident of victory after obtaining the Sea of Memory?
Heh~ Xia Feng withdrew his hand, raised his chin, and smiled arrogantly. “How about this, Miss Mu? After this matter is settled, I’ll allow you to challenge me again. We’ll have a formal decisive battle at the peak of the Bronze Tower! How’s that?”
“Oh?”
Mu Qingtong’s beautiful eyes showed a flicker of interest. She had to admit, Mr. Xia was indeed very brave, rushing to his own demise.
That was perfect. At that time, she would make the foolish Mr. Xia completely embarrass himself, recognize his place, and offer his soul and servitude to her, Mu Qingtong!
Mu Qingtong couldn’t be bothered to correct the grammatical error in Xia Feng’s words about who was challenging whom. She nodded faintly. “Agreed.”
After the betrothal was set, it was past midnight.
Under the hazy moonlight, the two of them rushed to the address Teacher Freya had given them, a coffee shop at the street corner of Huai Nan Road, without stopping.
After observing their surroundings and confirming there were no suspicious individuals, Xia Feng unsealed the invitation hidden under the locust tree and quickly left.
The invitation had a big red cover with gold-plated edges. It didn’t look like an invitation to a birthday party, but rather to a wedding.
It seemed that Ye Li Dongjun still harbored resentment about Teacher Freya’s elopement years ago and wanted to make amends today.
Xia Feng glanced at the information on the invitation.
His forged identity was a high-ranking officer of the Third Pillar Gate · Yama Legion. Along with the invitation, there were complete identification documents and a letter.
The letter detailed the personal information of this officer, who was a live-in son-in-law of the Ye Li Royal Family.
After quickly memorizing the officer’s information, Xia Feng changed his appearance. Once confirmed, he began to head towards the Sky Fortress.
According to Teacher Freya, the birthday banquet officially began at 7 PM, but the procedures for entering the Sky Fortress were very complicated, and it would take several hours to pass through layer after layer of checks.
Therefore, guests usually arrived at noon.
“Looking at this fortress, it’s much better than Helyan City’s Dong Sheng Fortress.”
Xia Feng and Mu Qingtong stood in the clouds, gazing at the giant fortress coiled in the universe, and said softly with a sigh.
The fortress was like a primordial giant beast in slumber. If it were disturbed and its eyes opened to roar, the entire Li Tian City would not be its match for a single blow.
The two looked at each other. Xia Feng smiled slightly. “I’ll go snatch a few Spirit Artifacts. Miss Mu, you wait for me here.”
With that, Xia Feng flew towards the fortress.
The forged identity from Jian Xin was very convenient, allowing him to quickly pass through the layers of checks and enter the interior of the Sky Fortress.
Led by an officer, Xia Feng walked through the opaque VIP passage. Activating his Eye of Deconstruction, he looked down, seeing the grand spectacle of the entire fortress.
Command headquarters of various levels, arms depots, spirit material storage, and all sorts of Time-Space Ships and battleships. Several giant starships were stretched across, and thousands of maintenance personnel, like ants, were working on them.
However, many of these people were just Apprentice Spirit Masters.
Those possessing Spirit Artifacts were even rarer. He walked and stopped, occasionally admiring the internal scenery of the fortress, and had a cup of afternoon tea in the lounge area. After Xia Feng had a general grasp of the fortress’s layout, he went through several more checks and finally entered the core area by nearly four o’clock.
If he were a true big figure, he wouldn’t have needed to go through so much trouble to enter this place.
But his current identity was merely a live-in son-in-law of the Ye Li Royal Family, neither high nor low in status, so he could only obediently accept the scrutiny.
However, Xia Feng didn’t care. In fact, this suited him perfectly.
Because upon entering the core area, he discovered that at least 30% of the officers in the core area possessed Spirit Artifacts!
Having finally entered the heartland of such a legion, Xia Feng was naturally unwilling to miss such a golden opportunity.
Although there weren’t many Obsidian Stones left, he still directly consumed 50 Obsidian Stones and activated his Enlightenment Domain.
The range of the Enlightenment Domain was a radius of 50 meters, and upon activation, it would turn the surrounding world black and white, which was very eye-catching.
But as long as he consumed Mental Power, he could conceal the black and white effect of the Enlightenment Domain, making it silent and difficult for others to detect.
Unless there was a powerful being with much higher Mental Power than him, they wouldn’t be able to detect the Enlightenment Domain at all.
Xia Feng’s current Mental Power, even without fusing with Miss Mu or using any Spirit Artifact or Spirit Robe, reached the Sage level.
Even if it was just the initial stage of Sage, it was still much higher than everyone in this fortress, including Ye Li Dongjun.
Therefore, he wasn’t afraid of being discovered by activating the Enlightenment Domain here.
He walked slowly, unscrupulously copying the Spirit Artifacts of the officers who passed by him.
Admittedly, it lived up to its reputation as the strongest fortress under Ye Li Dongjun’s command. There were truly many Spirit Artifacts, and quite a few of high quality.
[You have successfully copied 306 Spirit Artifacts, including 227 N-level Spirit Artifacts, 41 D-class Spirit Artifacts, 30 C-class Spirit Artifacts, and 8 B-grade Spirit Artifacts.]
Xia Feng remembered that the last time he was at Li Tian Fortress, he had only copied two B-grade Spirit Artifacts and fewer than ten C-class Spirit Artifacts.
Xia Feng once again scanned the effects of these more than 300 Spirit Artifacts, memorizing them by heart.
The effects of the eight B-grade Spirit Artifacts were all good. There were auxiliary Spirit Artifacts that boosted the Amount of Spirit Particles, powerful offensive Spirit Artifacts, and one insidious Spirit Artifact that could silently poison people.
The remaining low-level Spirit Artifacts each had their own effects. They might not be very useful when used individually, but their combined effect was astonishing.
As Xia Feng walked, he used these Spirit Artifacts to conduct combat simulations in his mind, with Miss Mu as the enemy template, considering the optimal combination strategy.
After brutally beating Miss Mu hundreds of times.
Finally, at a little past 5 PM, he was led by an officer to an arched tall gate.
He pushed the door open and entered.
Unlike the solemn killing intent of the military area outside, the scene inside was like entering a grand palace ball.
The light in the elegant great hall was bright, and the classical, soothing palace music calmed the senses, creating a comfortable atmosphere.
Most of the gentlemen were former officers, standing before a war sandbox, raising their glasses and chatting.
The noblewomen and young ladies had their own small circles, talking in low voices in twos and threes, covering their mouths as they chuckled.
The moment Xia Feng entered, he sensed Teacher Freya’s location based on the Pale Contract Seal.
He looked up. Teacher Freya should be in a room on the second floor.
