Over a cup of milk tea, Adrian briefly recounted the ins and outs of the story to the two of them, including how Tingyun was replaced.
"So... this is the real Miss Tingyun? And because we received the blessing of [Eternity], we could see through the disguise technique?"
"Correct. After all, the Church acts as a makeup artist, providing special services for [Eternity]."
"I think we're missing the point. A Lord Ravager infiltrating the Xianzhou is a bit too dangerous, isn't it?!" March 7th took out her phone, intending to send this bombshell news to the [Astral Express Family] group chat.
"Mr. Yang is in danger!" March 7th panicked. Who would have thought that Lord Ravager was right beside them? It was a pity she didn't become an actor with those skills.
Who are the Lord Ravagers? They are Emanators selected by [Destruction] Nanook, the leaders of the [Antimatter Legion].
To those capable individuals who submit to HIS will and are even willing to tread the Path of [Destruction], the Wounded God will spare their lives and delay their end.
Granted the power of Destruction, twisted and inverted, these beings survive a glance from the deity and transform into the [Lord Ravagers] feared by all living things.
It is rumored that Nanook currently has seven Ravagers under his command. They are the agents of the Will of Destruction, artists of war, and burning weapons refined to purity.
They bring apocalypse across the stars, carrying out their respective philosophies of [Destruction] to the end. They can be considered the most dangerous figures in the universe.
This Phantylia delights in the self-destruction of mortals. Countless beings have been lured by her into the abyss of eternal damnation... She is a psychopath who enjoys multiple destructions of the spirit and matter, leading from mental collapse to physical demise.
"Don't be afraid, March. This is the Xianzhou Alliance, under the protection of [The Hunt]. Would we fear a tiny Lord Ravager?" Stelle patted March 7th's head, comforting her.
From the looks of it, the Luofu has at least two righteous Emanators present. If a fight really broke out with the Lord Ravager, the opponent would definitely lose.
Freesna left too suddenly, so Stelle didn't have time to ask for her contact information. After all, she would count as a powerful reinforcement.
Stelle had already thought of how to attract Freesna to the Luofu. The reason was simple: just say this place is about to be harmed by a [Lord Ravager] and ask the Priestess sister for help.
Barring any accidents, the next second she would appear before you fully armed, crossing countless star systems.
Eternity Godspeed, kid!
"Besides, we still have Teacher Adrian. With him here, we'll win!" As Stelle spoke, she suddenly realized something.
So far, she had never witnessed Adrian take action with her own eyes. Her deepest impression was him flicking her forehead back at the Space Station.
Compared to Welt, she was actually more looking forward to seeing Adrian in action. After all, he was a confirmed Emanator of [Eternity].
Pontiff Blake only needed to exert a little force to melt the snow and ice on Jarilo-VI, ushering in a spring unseen for centuries.
However, Stelle heard his weapon seemed to be a bar of soap... which was thought-provoking.
"Sigh~ After hearing all this heavy news, I can't muster any interest in sightseeing anymore." March 7th sounded downcast.
"In my opinion, let's tell Dan Heng and the others this intel first. We can't be the only ones to know."
It was a pity about the milk tea shop exploration. Stelle had originally wanted to sit in the milk tea shop a bit longer. Damn [Destruction] forces!
"Looking forward to your good news~"
"Eh eh eh?! Teacher Adrian, aren't you coming with us?!"
"To tell you the truth, I have a grave illness where I'll die violently if I leave the milk tea shop." Adrian looked serious.
"Who would believe that!"
...
Petrichor Inn
Phantylia, disguised as Tingyun, settled Welt in. With the Stellaron Hunters caught, she didn't have a role to play for the time being.
Running into the formidable Astral Express crew—they were truly efficient. The Luofu General had just finished speaking, and the Stellaron Hunters were caught.
That Kafka's disguise was truly exquisite; even she hadn't detected it... Was it thanks to the Astral Express?
What concerned Phantylia most was that man who had been taciturn along the way but bore a striking resemblance to Pontiff Blake!
She had almost fallen into a trap. It also taught her a lesson: one cannot judge by appearances or act on impulse.
Sigh~ Living someone else's life isn't easy either~ Running here and there. Hurry up and let this Xianzhou remain in [Destruction]...
Phantylia snapped open her folding fan. This body's flexibility wasn't bad.
Especially this fluffy tail. Although it felt comfortable to touch, taking care of it involved many complex procedures.
"There is still a hidden Hunter; what a headache..."
Phantylia returned to Tingyun's previous bedroom. As soon as she turned on the light, she discovered a golden figure sitting on the sofa.
Strange... in broad daylight, how could someone trespass into a private residence?
"First a Stellaron outbreak, then the bewildering Disciples of Sanctus Medicus, and now a Lord Ravager. Quite the lineup."
The golden figure slowly stood up. Hearing this familiar voice, Phantylia turned tail and ran without hesitation, as if fear were etched into her bones.
If she had the [Abundance] body obtained from the Ambrosial Arbor, with the power blessed by Lord Nanook, would she fear a mere Emanator of [Eternity]?
The key was that she had nothing right now! It was like playing a game where you planned to farm properly and harvest the enemy once your economy was up.
But upon looking, the opponent not only had an economy several times higher but was also fully equipped—the kind that gets a 13.0 rating at the end of the match. Completely unwinnable.
Phantylia was well aware of the gap in strength between her and Blake. She couldn't beat him, and she couldn't run away as he could pinpoint her location accurately.
In this situation, there might be only one way to survive: seek [Nihility].
Hmm...
Seems like death either way.
Of all people to meet, even if it were the Astral Express crew, Phantylia was confident she could retreat unscathed. But she had to run into an Emanator of [Eternity]. Damn this matchmaking mechanism.
Like Lan of [The Hunt], Ite of [Eternity] paid close attention to mortals, almost unreservedly giving power to the Church of Eternity.
If one were to ask where a Lord Ravager was stronger than the Church... perhaps only in numbers could they crush them.
...
"Hexagrams rise and fall, between Dui and Kan. The boat is stranded, stuck in the mud."
Exalting Sanctum Plaza
Fu Xuan stopped walking and turned to Dan Heng, who was escorting Kafka:
"I just cast a divination. The hexagram shows a discrepancy with the current situation. It seems we cannot take a starskiff directly to the Divination Commission today. That place is also plagued by the Stellaron and is in a bit of trouble."
"Sigh, without me holding the fort, who knows what kind of mess the Commission is in... I'll go ahead to prepare for the interrogation. See you later."
"What about her?" Dan Heng pointed at Kafka, whose hands were shackled.
"The prisoner must naturally follow me every step of the way. This is Jing Yuan's order."
"The General also said that my companions and I must be present during Kafka's interrogation."
"You underestimate me too much. My word is gold! Even if the delve collapses, I will keep my promise... Of course, the probability of that is negligible."
The corner of Fu Xuan's mouth twitched slightly. This Jing Yuan kept digging pits for her; the day she becomes General seemed far off in the indefinite future...
"To make this prisoner [speak], the Divination Commission must use special means. It involves secrets and cannot be made public. Please understand, but I swear: even if preparations are complete, the interrogation will absolutely not begin without you present."
"Preparation work will take a day. When the time comes, I will assign a disciple to wait here. Once internal affairs are rectified, I will order the guide to bring you into the Divination Commission. Please wait patiently..."
"What's wrong?" Seeing Fu Xuan suddenly fall silent, Dan Heng followed her gaze, thinking she had seen that dangerous man.
"That is the disciple I will assign."
Fu Xuan gritted her teeth, looking at Qingque playing tiles not far away. So she hasn't come to the Divination Commission these past few days just to play tiles here?!
