Chapter 720: 688.
Jiang Qiue stared at the middle-aged woman trapped in the Divine Thunder Cage in the external cloud sky.
In her heart, she communicated with the three people around her about ways to rescue this woman.
A plan was quickly formed.
If the Divine Thunder imprisoning the Miao Master is encountered by others, there really is no way, but for Xia Feng, it's no difficult matter.
Because this Divine Thunder Cage is an effect produced by a Spiritual Artifact.
The Spiritual Artifact forming the Divine Thunder is not nearby, so he cannot use the Mind Domain to replicate it, but as long as he can get close to this Divine Thunder and be attacked by it.
He can trace its source and replicate the Spiritual Artifact.
The current problem is how to get close to the Divine Thunder Cage.
At this moment, Xia Feng keenly noticed that the middle-aged woman at the center of the cage lowered her eyelids and moved slightly, her calm eyes vaguely about to lift.
Xia Feng's consciousness flickered briefly, as the surrounding scenery quietly changed.
When he came to his senses, he found himself already in a pure white world, with Cha Naixue standing beside him, looking around while saying, "This is the Miao Master's ability, we've entered her dream realm."
"You must be Xia Feng," as Xia Feng was about to speak, he suddenly heard a kind female voice behind him.
He turned his head, and saw the middle-aged woman with a chain lens on her nose had somehow appeared, looking at him warmly from top to bottom.
Xia Feng squinted his black eyes slightly, "You recognize me?"
"I've heard Nai Xue mention you."
The middle-aged woman smiled and didn't elaborate on the topic, instead turning to Cha Naixue with a stern frown, "Didn't I tell you not to come? What is the meaning of this? Are you seeking death?"
Cha Naixue shook her head, "Teacher, if it were just me, the probability of successfully rescuing you would be infinitely close to zero, so I wouldn't have come. But I found help."
"Help?" The middle-aged woman looked at Xia Feng again, her kind eyes unchanged, only nodding slightly, "Are you talking about the girl outside whose spiritual power surpasses mine?"
The woman in the black dress wore a mask and performed the Disguise Technique. Perhaps due to being significantly restricted by her imprisoned state, she couldn't see through the black-dressed woman's face.
But her strength was clear as day, only at the Venerable One level spiritual pressure, yet her spiritual power exceeded the Holy Realm, estimated at the Sage level.
She should be a genius girl possessing a Spiritual Artifact, but with strength not even at the Holy Realm, she's simply unfit to partake in today's event.
Let alone rescue her.
It's akin to a futile fight against an immovable mountain.
"And Xia Feng and Jiang Qiue," Cha Naixue explained, "Xia Feng has a way to rescue you."
Hearing her say so, with a tone seemingly determined without compromise, the Miao Master was somewhat surprised.
She's well aware that her student is actually very rational, a staunch egoist who considers benefits in everything, often discussing probabilities and gains and losses.
She also appreciated Cha Naixue's approach, for only with such demeanor could she reach higher, farther goals.
Yet after months without seeing each other, why has she suddenly changed her character?
Is it because of him? The Miao Master thought again, looking at Xia Feng.
Not this, why is she staring at me like that? Xia Feng remained expressionless, somewhat uncomfortable from being stared at, feeling strange.
Unfortunately, neither Jiang Qiue nor Miss Mu's spiritual power was successfully brought into the dream realm by the Miao Master.
Otherwise, the scene wouldn't have been inexplicably awkward.
In fact, Cha Naixue was clear that rescuing the Miao Master wasn't as easy as saying it, especially since Moluo Saint Shepherd might have already discovered Jiang Qiue as a trespasser.
Trying to rescue someone from the Babel Tower under Moluo Saint Shepherd's watchful eyes is as difficult as ascending to heaven.
But now she had completely abandoned rational thinking, no longer analyzing probabilities in the Nailuo, only unconditionally trusting Xia Feng's methods.
Without mentioning anything else, Xia Feng, though quite detestable... indeed always had unexpected means, providing her a sense of security.
Since Xia Feng dared to enter the tower, he must have some assurance.
Just as the Miao Master suddenly fell silent, staring at Xia Feng like this, with Xia Feng also in a dead-fish look, making the atmosphere eerie, Cha Naixue hurriedly whispered internally, "Give me a break... she's my mentor."
"So what if she's your mentor? Do I have to give face because she's your mentor?" Xia Feng vaguely sensed that this middle-aged woman showed no emotional change on the surface, still appearing kind, but she likely didn't see him favorably inside.
She must have misunderstood something, assuming he and Cha Naixue were in a romantic relationship.
How slanderous, Cha Naixue is now the maid of his fiancée, and he is innocent with her, without any relationship.
Seeing Xia Feng giving no face, Cha Naixue pursed her lips, hurriedly breaking the strange atmosphere, "Teacher, do you know why Moluo wants the Red Moon to descend? Where is the Pope? And where is the S-Class Spirit Paper, Moon God?"
The Miao Master didn't understand why Cha Naixue asked about the Moon God's location, but she still replied, "Where the Pope went even I don't know, but I can confirm that he didn't bring the 'Moon God' with him, most likely placed in the sealed top of the Babel Tower."
The tower's top? Xia Feng thought helplessly, it seems sneaking and stealing it won't be feasible, most likely he will still have to face Moluo Saint Shepherd.
Moluo Saint Shepherd is a Darkness Holding Sage, how can one fight him?
So far, Xia Feng has only fought Spirit Masters at the Venerate Fourth Level, not even having faced the Holy Realm upfront, unsure he could defeat the Holy Realm, let alone the Darkness Holding Sage.
Looking at it from another angle, this could be considered good news, at least the S-Class Spirit Paper isn't with the Pope, who is a Light-Holding Sage...
To obtain the S-Class Spiritual Clothes, Moon God, perhaps he needs to change plans, Xia Feng fell into contemplation, plotting secretly.
"As for why Moluo wants the Red Moon to descend..." The Miao Master spoke indifferently, about to continue explaining,
The entire dream realm suddenly began to shake violently, abruptly shattering into countless glass fragments—
But in the next moment, the glass shards falling from the sky seemed to rewind, Time Reversal-like backtracking, and reassembling.
Yet the stitched world was no longer a white light patch but one filled with bizarre oily hues.
Xia Feng felt himself standing in the center of an oil painting world, with swirling lines around him, compressing and spiraling like living things.
Xia Feng frowned as he scanned around, finding Cha Naixue and the Miao Master, who were supposed to be beside him, gone, and his nerves shifted from obscured pain to intense pain, thoughts muddled, straining to keep his eyes wide open.
Amid the blurry vision engulfed in oily hues, he vaguely saw far away, a sudden appearance of a girl in a high school JK uniform — face wearing a smile, quietly standing.
"!!!" A unique horror sensation instantly flooded Xia Feng's mind, his black pupils shrank.
"M—Master! Run quickly!" Simultaneously, Yue Hongli woke abruptly in his heart, shouting in terror.
Xia Feng's thoughts were muddled and immobile, his black pupils shrank to stars, this unprecedented feeling of heart-pounding terror was a crisis sensation he hadn't even felt when pierced through the heart by God's Sword and dying before!
