I Bound Myself to a Destructive Witch

Xia Feng ignored Moluo and instead looked towards the three women.

"I have a plan, but I'll need your help."

Cha Naixue was somewhat at a loss about what to do, and Mu Qingtong also frowned slightly. Seeing Xia Feng had a strategy, she raised her eyes in confusion.

Xia Feng swiftly communicated telepathically.

"Jiang Qiue, I need you to use your Immortal Word to alter the state of my shadow, covering my entire body with it."

The woman in the green dress didn't know what Xia Feng intended but followed the instructions without question, nodding in agreement and starting her spell.

"Miss Mu, in a moment, I will leave the tower to confront the enemy. Once I'm out, exert the King's Will to intimidate everyone present."

The woman in the black dress vaguely guessed what Xia Feng intended, frowned, but nodded her head nonetheless.

"The enemy includes a Darkness Holding Sage, and even a human form of a God, whose neurological reaction is far above mine."

Xia Feng continued his rapid mental conversation, "In confrontations, if they intend to kill me, I might be instantly slain, leaving me no time to react."

"So, Cha Naixue, I need you to use Nailuo's Eye to constantly watch me. If you foresee a crisis, immediately inform me mentally."

Cha Naixue's Nailuo abilities comprise Nailuo's Eye and Nailuo Demon.

Nailuo's Eye can see the past and future within the current scene (the future within one second, and the past within three days).

Nailuo Demon, on the other hand, is 'Nailuo Space,' where one can calculate the probability of an event occurring by inputting sample size and information. 'Nailuo Space' is a Different Space, where one can stay for up to three days.

Currently, Xia Feng's Vermilion Bird Demon Armor's revival capability has not yet cooled down, so he cannot die again.

Nailuo's Eye can effectively help him foresee dangers, allowing him to retreat to the Refining God Tower once he detects anomalies.

Cha Naixue nodded seriously.

After swiftly discussing other details in their mental exchange,

Xia Feng didn't hesitate. He gathered all the Blood Beasts in the tower around the three women, increasing the density to thoroughly block any external spying, then activated the Bronze Mask, transforming his face into that of Black Spade.

In a flash, his figure vanished from the spot.

Outside Black Moon City.

On the boundless ice field, snow and wind swirled across the sky.

Jinyang Tian was stepping on the snow, with layers of golden patterns rippling through the void.

His phoenix eyes narrowed sharply like a hunting eagle, with the vividly detailed platinum-colored Eagle Helmet fitting over his pale gold hair. The sharp beak curved downwards, perfectly covering above his pointed nose, splitting his stony face.

The platinum military cloak fluttered in the wind.

He tilted his head slightly, his squinting eagle eyes gazing towards the massive city.

This southernmost city was currently enveloped by a pale purple sphere, with a misty purple haze inside, blocking the view of everyone outside.

Yet, the two Sky-reaching Towers that stood facing each other caught the eye, their tips piercing the clouds, bearing a majestic aura of Mountain River Suppressing.

The man with the Eagle Helmet looked up and gazed towards the far-reaching Sky-reaching Black Tower, deep in thought: "The internal strife in the Black Moon Court is becoming more intriguing."

On the snowy plain, there stood a man and a woman facing the gusty wind and snow.

The man was the Apocalypse Knight Shi Qi, baring his shark-like teeth, his cold eyes pinning the distant sky, he murmured in confusion, "Lord Mi Liu, these Purple Mists seem off."

The woman beside him was dressed in a bright yellow kasaya styled in ancient monk fashion, bald, with sharp features, and eyes green as jade.

Mi Liu's jade-like pupils shone with ghostly light, her gaze indifferent: "The Purple Mist contains traces of the Evil God, seems Moluo is defying the Apocalypse Laws."

The so-called Apocalypse Laws dictate that no actions against the Empire's interests can be taken, or else, the Apocalypse Knights have the right to trouble you.

If it was merely an internal disturbance within the Black Moon Church, the Apocalypse Knights wouldn't interfere.

But since it involves the Evil Clan and the sinister Purple Mist envelops the whole city, it inevitably affects the city dwellers significantly.

"Lord Mi Liu, what should we do?" At this moment, a man dressed in a Holy Department robe leaped out of space, asking in confusion.

From the distant sky, ten or so Holy Department members were seen hovering against the wind, their strength formidable.

Yet, facing such an enemy force at Black Moon City, the 15th district Holy Department was essentially powerless.

Indeed, if this barrier couldn't be broken soon, as a Dark Sage, even Mi Liu couldn't act in the present situation.

Moluo likely anticipated her coming, hence had measures in place to block her from entering the city.

"Lord, shall we activate the [Apocalypse Token]?" Shi Qi narrowed his blood-red eyes slightly, asking in a low voice.

The so-called Apocalypse Token is a Divine-level teleportation token distributed by the Apocalypse Knights Commander Texius to the few knights working long-term in the field.

Once used, Texius could instantaneously cross countless timespaces to appear beside the Apocalypse Knight, countering some Divine-level disasters.

Of course, the commander might decide not to come; the Apocalypse Token cannot forcibly teleport the commander.

However, once the Apocalypse Token is used, regardless of whether the commander comes or not, this Divine Object will be spent and cannot be restored.

Shi Qi had already used his Apocalypse Token a thousand years ago.

But Mi Liu hadn't used hers yet.

The bald woman glanced at Shi Qi, fell into thought, and shook her head softly:

"With the Empress just waking up and the tensions in the Imperial City Courtyard on a hair-trigger, and the internal split within Apocalypse into two factions, the commander leaving the Apocalypse Temple now might cause issues there."

"Then should we just let the situation in Black Moon City go unchecked?"

Shi Qi frowned, "Lord Mi Liu, are you intending to defy the laws of the Apocalypse Knights?"

On the snowy plain, the bald woman's kasaya fluttered with the wind, her jade eyes glanced softly, commenting with gentle tone: "Shi Qi, are you instructing me on how to act?"

"I wouldn't dare." The shark-toothed man bowed his head.

Mi Liu paid no further mind to Shi Qi.

But Shi Qi wasn't wrong, if the Apocalypse Token wasn't used, they were indeed at a loss regarding the situation within the city.

Amidst frowning contemplation, Mi Liu eventually took out a dark golden token, preparing to use it, but suddenly heard a majestic and regal female voice resonate in her mind:

"It's not necessary. Matters in the city will be resolved by others."

Mi Liu was stunned, surprised, but quietly responded, "Yes."

The Apocalypse Knights are the Empress's eyes, it's no surprise she knows the situation. Yet, Mi Liu found it strange that the Empress seemed to have focused her attention on her, observing her situation.

The Empress just awakened, it would make more sense for her to focus on recovering her strength, not divide her attention by observing Mi Liu.

Could it be....there's something special about me?

Mi Liu speculated inwardly, but her focus quickly shifted to the spectacle within the city.

Through the misty high clouds, two faint figures emerged.

The two stood at opposite sides atop the Black Tower, though far apart, Mi Liu could roughly identify them.

One was Moluo cloaked in a long robe with a hood.

The other was a little girl in a red hat, judging from the surrounding divine aura, likely the human form of the Red Moon.

As Moluo casually waved, two tall men clad in bone armor appeared from space, their faces deathly pale, one exuding the aura of the Venerate Third Realm, the other of the Holy Realm.

Mi Liu knew of Moluo's Spiritual Artifact, named [Abyss of the Dead], which could not only craft the residual souls of the deceased into controllable Dead Spirits but also allow these spirits to utilize the Spiritual Artifacts they used in life.
