I Bound Myself to a Destructive Witch

Babel Tower, at the top of the tower.

A pitch-black place without light, resembling a life forbidden zone devoid of living creatures, deadly silent.

But if you look up, you can see a sky full of stars.

An endless river formed by countless star fragments, like a majestic river, surging from the unknown void of endless distance, hanging upside down in the sky.

Finally, it falls into this dark cliff, forming a Star River Waterfall, with stars flashing brilliantly.

In the void darkness ahead of the waterfall, three mysterious figures are suspended.

The closest to the Star River Waterfall is a humanoid figure wearing a holy white Divine Robe, topped with a straight rhomboid hood over the forehead,

from the hood, only a small cluster of blue flame burns quietly.

Clearly without a face, it exudes a sense of mysterious and mystifying authority.

"No wonder you asked our Golden Sparrow as external support. Moluo, it seems your Black Moon is truly heading towards decline."

A lazy voice speaks, not far away, is a middle-aged man in a black trench coat, with the Golden Sparrow God Flower, symbolizing sanctity and authority, engraved in the center of his coat's back.

The man has light cyan stubble on his chin, his complexion a bit pale, with faint dark circles around his eyes, looking tired and lazy in demeanor.

He is An Xingjia, the ninth seat of the Twelve Seated of Golden Sparrow's Sparrow God Mountain.

Golden Sparrow, a family that only emerged after the Empire's unification, has rapidly risen in just a few thousand years, climbing into the ranks of the seven major powerhouses, even faintly rivaling the Yeli family, thanks entirely to the power of the Twelve Seated of Sparrow God Mountain.

These twelve people were all orphans adopted by the Mother in those days, each an extraordinarily gifted genius, each leading an era.

"An Xizuo overthinks." Ahead, the ethereal blue flame under Moluo Saint Shepherd's hood wavers, emitting a weathered, low male voice, "After today, our church will return to the right track and become even stronger."

"Oh? Really." An Xingjia, with drooping dark circles, clearly doesn't quite believe.

He has been observing here for so long, but still can't figure out Moluo's true intentions.

But it doesn't matter anymore, as Black Moon's internal strife won't affect Golden Sparrow's development, and he couldn't care less about Black Moon's future.

As long as this transaction succeeds, even if Black Moon makes a rebellious act against the gods, it has nothing to do with him.

"The various seats of Sparrow God Mountain have personally investigated for years but have never been able to determine the ultimate whereabouts of the Fourth Spark after the Cha Family's extermination."

"Moluo, do you truly know?" An Xingjia squints his lazy eyes.

"An Xizuo is as suspicious as ever. Rest assured, once this matter is concluded, I can not only tell you the whereabouts of the Fire Seed but also help you seize it as well."

The burning flame, the weathered male voice under the hood is low, "Besides, with the contract in place, I do cherish my life and dare not break the death contract your Mother set."

Speaking, the blue flame under the hood suddenly expanded slightly, and he lifted his hood lightly, as if looking up, the weathered, deep voice surprised, "Interesting, there is actually such a Space Skill."

"What, is there a guest coming?" An Xizuo dusted his robe sleeve, lazily saying, "Do you need us to take action?"

"No need to trouble, it's just a small mouse." Moluo Saint Shepherd shook his head, "Sending one in red can solve it."

An Xingjia nodded. According to the contract, their Golden Sparrow came here today to act as hitters, but if they could avoid taking action, he naturally preferred not to move.

However, at this moment, the third mysterious figure beside An Xingjia, who had been meditating with closed eyes, suddenly opened them.

This was a young girl dressed in a blue and white JK skirt, very different in style from An Xizuo and Moluo Saint Shepherd,

A shirt, tie, short skirt, black stockings, small leather boots, and smooth black hair resting on her back, exuding a young maiden's aura.

However, that sweet, delicate oval face vaguely possessed a silicone texture. Upon closer inspection, one might find she seems to be a silicone doll?

"What's wrong, Madam?" An Xingjia's panda-eyed, fatigued eyes looked toward the girl.

The girl's delicate face slowly turned, the corners of her lips curled into a strangely eerie smile, her thoughts resounding in An Xingjia's mind, her words stuttering, "Xia Feng, intruding, within the tower."

"!" An Xingjia's lazy gaze instantly sharpened, his pupils slightly contracting, but quickly resumed a normal demeanor, the thought in his mind solemn, "Are you certain?"

"Certain."

"Heh~ It's a lucky day to have come here."

An Xingjia didn't expect to be so fortunate, coincidentally encountering Xia Feng.

Those who provoke the Golden Sparrow are documented by the Golden Sparrow and placed on the "Hunting List."

According to the level of importance of the hunt, the Hunting List includes Spirit Masters to Sages, divided into 7 levels.

But a few months ago, Mother specially issued the highest hunting order, adding an 8th-level wanted list, with only one name on it.

— [Xia Feng]

And attached is this person's detailed identity information and photo.

It's just a young man under 20 years old, not even a Venerable.

Yet more important than a figure on the hunting list—a Light-Holding Sage, a significant enemy of Golden Sparrow left unscathed for thousands of years....

It's enough to make Mother harbor resentment!

Singly elevated to become an 8th-level wanted criminal!

When this news was announced, the Twelve Seated scattered throughout the Empire were shocked, and several even returned to Sparrow God Mountain to confirm the situation with Mother.

Mother did not elaborate, only saying that Xia Feng carried a "Authority" that was misplaced, and spoke of precautions needed when capturing Xia Feng, and provided means for the Twelve Seated specifically for tracking and capturing him.

Regardless, Xia Feng has already sparked a frenzy within Golden Sparrow, with many of the younger generation eagerly determined to capture him.

After all, completing this task personally issued by Mother is truly a way to soar for these juniors.

Of course, even for the already seated among the Twelve Seated, there's also a covetous desire.

Unfortunately, although Xia Feng's profile seems to indicate his strength isn't strong, there's simply no trace to be found.

However, during the investigation, An Xingjia discovered an intriguing fact, Xia Feng is not only an Empire fugitive but is also on the chase lists of Black Moon Church and the Yeli family.

Initially, he even suspected this young man might have already been killed by Black Moon Church or the Yeli family.

He couldn't be bothered to waste further effort in searching.

But unexpectedly, being forced to act as Black Moon Church's henchman today, he coincidentally encountered this young man desired by tens of thousands in the Golden Sparrow.

There's no effort required at all.

While pondering these light-hearted thoughts, An Xingjia looked up and said, "Since cooperation has been reached, let my respected madam go. We Golden Sparrow have always been fair and just, isn't it inappropriate to not do anything?"

"That's fine."

Moluo Hood nodded lightly, without much suspicion, saying, "The intruder is Jiang Qiue, hiding near Miao Master; Madam An mustn't kill her, just heavily injure and bring her to the top of the tower."

Upon seeing this, An Xingjia's thought resonated in the JK-uniformed girl, "Go, extract Xia Feng's soul, reclaim the Authority that belongs to Mother."

Her eyes darkened and lifeless, she nodded slightly, her figure dissipated into wisps of black lines, merging into the darkness.
