"Ah Yue!"
"Xia Yue Celestial Strategy!!"
"Celestial Strategy!!!"
It wasn’t just the silhouettes.
Jin Yi and the others also felt a chill down their spines, watching as the white line was about to crash to the ground. Many wore expressions of fear and squatted down, shielding their heads.
They shouted aloud.
Even just watching, they could already imagine... Xia Yue was entirely unconcerned about what would happen when he collided with the ground.
The surroundings would turn into ruins!
They had co to help, not to die!
Whether they were heard or if Xia Yue had already prepared.
In any case.
Just as Jin Yi and the others finished speaking, the white line rapidly descending to the ground abruptly slowed down after sweeping through the shadows.
The sonic boom rang out once more.
The enormous compression wave behind the white line exploded, the shockwave spreading, dust being swept up with the white line at the center, like a typhoon passing, flipping cars on the ground sliding half a ter.
Jin Yi and the others were all blown off their feet, tumbling over.
Xia Panqiu imdiately crouched down, hugging the little girl and shielding her with her side.
Bam—
A loud explosion.
The white line finally hit the ground.
Instantly, a dense web of cracks appeared, spreading outward like a spider web.
It was a significant commotion.
But it was already considered a blessing in misfortune.
Jin Yi and the others lay on the ground, looking at the swirling dust at the landing point, and sighed in relief.
"...Did it escape? These kinds of mystical Authority Abilities are indeed troubleso."
A gentle breeze blew, and the dust gradually dispersed.
A tall figure appeared in the eyes of Jin Yi and the others.
Xia Yue was pressing down on a scrawny, skeletal old man, standing at the center of the ’web’ on the ground.
He looked around, sowhat displeased, and said.
"Huh..."
At this mont.
The scrawny old man groaned, his cloudy, blank eyes fixed on Xia Yue, suddenly extending his hand, gripping his wrist tightly.
Xia Yue withdrew his gaze, looked down at the old man, then exerted more force with his right hand, sinking into his body, grasping his heart.
"...Xia Yue, I curse you!"
The old man suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood, glaring at Xia Yue with deep hatred, spitting blood foam, and said, "I curse you! May you die without a complete corpse! I curse you! May you find no peace in death! I’ll be waiting for you below!!!"
His voice gradually faded.
"Then I’ll co find you in a hundred years."
Xia Yue chuckled at these words, then gripped his heart fiercely.
Blood splattered.
He directly pulled the old man’s heart out.
In the sunlight.
Fresh blood, the shriveled heart, the tall figure.
The old man’s eyes widened, gazing longingly at this final scene of the human world, his throat emitting resentful groans, and then he took his last breath.
"You weren’t that formidable, after all."
Xia Yue shook his head, then slowly exerted force with his right hand.
Splat—
The outer flesh of the heart turned into a pulp, revealing a dazzling gemstone-like stone inside.
The heart-sized stone had just been revealed.
Everyone around, including the little girl, directed their gazes toward it.
Jin Yi and the others were breathing rapidly.
It was hard to say whether it was fear or desire...
This wasn’t just a ’stone’ anymore; in so sense, it truly could be considered a ’Divine Format’ of the human world.
"Ji Xin’s people?"
Xia Yue examined the stone in his hand, then tossed it lightly, caught it again, and looked at Jin Yi and the others on the ground.
Jin Yi snapped back to reality, looking at the towering Xia Yue, his expression changed, he quickly composed his face, struggling to stand up, and then formally said, "Jixing Brigade, Second Action Squad, Jin Yi."
"I see."
Xia Yue glanced around, then looked at the little girl, saying, "Thanks for coming to help."
"..."
Jin Yi was stunned for a mont, then said helplessly, "We actually didn’t provide much help..."
By the ti they arrived, the people were all dead.
They just ca and chatted a bit.
And the enemy they encountered earlier.
...Turned to ashes in an instant.
Upon hearing this, Xia Yue was slightly taken aback, then turned to glance in the direction of the building, chuckled softly, "You’re well-intentioned to make the trip, I’ll ntion it to Ji Xin soti."
"Thank you."
Jin Yi breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, and then expressed his gratitude.
"Ah Yue, Chen Lusi and Xiaoxiao."
At this mont.
Xia Panqiu stood up, a bit anxious, and said, "They’re still in the building, I don’t know..."
"Don’t worry, they’re fine."
Xia Yue interrupted her, reassuring her while humorously saying, "They’re busy educating each other."
"..."
Upon hearing this, Xia Panqiu imdiately relaxed, then pursed her red lips and held the little girl’s hand tightly.
The little girl couldn’t help but look up at her.
"Alright."
Xia Yue surveyed the chaos around them, and said, sowhat helplessly, "So, what next..."
"Xia Yue Celestial Strategy, what did that person just say an? What does it an that Chen Lusi’s Authority Ability is strange? And what does it an there’s no record? No record of what."
On the other side.
Upon hearing Chen Lusi’s na, Jin Yi imdiately recalled what he’d seen and heard, and also rembered the last words of the figure, couldn’t help but curiously ask, featuring a peculiar expression.
The others, upon hearing this, also looked at Xia Yue with curiosity, seeking an answer.
The term ’record’ is quite sensitive for the mbers of the Celestial Strategy Mansion, easily reminding them of the Yellow Springs Fragnt.
...The Authority isn’t recorded in the Yellow Springs Fragnt?
This is no small matter.
And even setting that aside, a person wiped out three ’Self’ mbers, one of whom was Mirror Ghost, ranked twenty-first on the bounty list, another was Feng Zhen, ranked sixth, and the last, though unrecognizable, might also not be a nobody...
Just this alone was enough to spark their curiosity.
How on earth was this done?
Their two A-Class action squads both believed they couldn’t manage to do it easily.
"This is internal information, not convenient to disclose."
Xia Yue shrugged and casually replied, "Don’t you also have mbers with rather strange Authority Abilities in your ranks? Chen Lusi is just one of those people. As for that coward who didn’t dare show themselves, saying sothing about no records, it’s probably because they encountered an unfamiliar ability and, after failing, angrily tried to sow discord."
"But..."
Jin Yi hesitated for a mont, then softly said, "After eting with Chen Lusi that ti, I specifically asked my Celestial Strategy back ho, and they said the report you submitted to Kunlun described Chen Lusi’s Authority Ability as just a basic Transforming Blade, with both importance level and danger sequence as C..."
"..."
Upon hearing this, the others couldn’t help but widen their eyes, then glanced at the bodies on the ground, slowly raising a question mark.
C...?
This doubtful importance level and danger sequence is C?
What C-Class mber can accomplish this?
If it weren’t for the fact that the person standing before them was Xia Yue, they would have started criticizing!
"Deliberately."
Xia Yue thought for a mont upon hearing this, then replied, "To prevent you from enticing him away."
Jin Yi: "..."
He looked at Xia Yue, showing a thoughtful expression.
He wasn’t inclined to believe Xia Yue’s words.
But further questions couldn’t be asked... Despite Xia Yue’s generally affable deanor.
But, if truly angered, even his superior might not be able to hold him back.
After all, just now, a seemingly powerful being had died right before him.
Xia Yue glanced at Jin Yi, then directly changed the topic, "If you have ti, handle the Anomaly Realms that haven’t fully dissipated in the districts; I’ll report back to headquarters later and ask them to send people over to handle the aftermath, including you, and you’ll stay temporarily in Peng City during this period."
"... Understood."
Jin Yi snapped back to reality, took a deep breath, bowed slightly to Xia Yue, and left with his people.
The others were sowhat hesitant, but as they were being dismissed, only left.
And as they left, their expressions were rather peculiar.
Xia Yue watched them leave, pondering.
Although he provided a reason... these people were sure to relay today’s experiences and sights to their superiors, and those people wouldn’t be so easily deceived.
It’s sowhat troubleso.
Chen Lusi might be forced to step into the lilight... not sure if he’s ready.
Possessing an unknown Authority Ability, not recorded in the Yellow Springs Fragnt, unable to be constrained.
Each point is quite sensitive.
"Ah Yue..."
After seeing Jin Yi and others leave, Xia Panqiu held the little girl’s hand and walked up to Xia Yue, calling out to him.
She was equally curious.
Because more than anyone else, she knew... Xia Yue had just lied. His initial summary and evaluation of Chen Lusi’s Authority Ability were sincere, not deliberate like he’d said.
This, combined with the many anomalies Chen Lusi has shown... is indeed quite unreasonable.
What exactly is going on? Will this cause trouble for Chen Lusi?
She wanted to find out clearly.
"..."
Xia Yue lowered his head and glanced at his little niece, not speaking right away, but instead turning around to look in another direction.
Xia Panqiu, finding this odd, followed his gaze.
She discovered Chen Lusi and Si Yujie walking abreast in their direction.
