I Bound Myself to a Destructive Witch

Miss Mu is no longer by my side.

I must rely on myself, and Xia Feng found himself somewhat unaccustomed.

He also didn't know if Miss Mu and the people from the Black Moon Church could track down the traces of Burning Heaven Temple.

"Ye Lin, this person..."

Blind Qing's empty eye sockets turned toward Xia Feng, yet it was as if a substantial gaze landed on his face, and he solemnly asked the question he had wanted to ask earlier, "Why is this masked man here?"

Earlier, Xia Feng and Ye Lin were communicating through mind transmission, so Blind Qing still did not know Xia Feng's identity.

Ye Lin had no intention of revealing identities, merely responding indifferently, "This person is a distinguished guest whom the Goddess requested to be brought back to Burning Heaven Island; he is one of our own."

"Is that so..." Blind Qing, who had no pupils, just squinted his eye sockets slightly.

It seemed that the masked man was the main culprit who almost got him caught by the Black Moon Church, although he was eventually rescued by the Goddess Fleet. Still, he remained unnerved.

If it weren't for Ye Lin's presence, he would have already taken action to kill this masked man to relieve his resentment.

While Blind Qing was contemplating, the mind transmission from the pink-haired woman rang out in Xia Feng's mind:

"Saint Heir, the factions within Burning Heaven are numerous, and not everyone wishes to see you appear. If you want to save your life, don't talk recklessly, especially do not reveal the identity of the Eternal Day Saint Child."

Xia Feng's face remained expressionless, thinking to himself that trouble was inevitable wherever there were people, unavoidable deception, open strife, and covert manipulation.

Even such a crazed and evil cult was no exception.

While pondering, Xia Feng looked up instinctively as a furious wind rose rapidly across the sky, condensing into the figure of a young man with gray hair.

The young man seemed to ride the wind, and his gray-blue figure flashed in front of Xia Feng in an instant.

With a sidelong glance and a sneer at the corner of his lips, he taunted, "Oh? You're the one who just cursed 'your father' to death?"

"Indeed, it was 'your father'." The masked man nodded, puzzled, "What about it?"

The plaza fell silent for a moment—

"Boom!!!"

A silver pistol in the young man's hand burst forth with a dragon-like roar, the hot wind bellowing violently.

The masked man did not move an inch, his black robe fluttering, and in front of him, long pink hair flew backwards, a woman with a sword grounded. Around the sword's blade fluttered about a dozen vibrant butterflies, easily dissipating the firelight sweeping across the plaza.

A strand of fire briefly scorched the edge of Xia Feng's black robe before dissipating in an instant.

[You have been attacked by "Lethal Pistol," copy it?]

[Copy successful—]

[B-Rank Spiritual Artifact: Lethal Pistol]

[Lethal: Can be filled with 100 shots of D-Rank Spiritual Clothes power beam, 10 shots of C-Rank Spiritual Clothes power beam. It can store one B-Rank Spiritual Clothes; each kill with the gun increases the stored B-Rank Spiritual Clothes' power by 0.2%. If the deceased is a Spirit Master above Fourth Rank Spiritual Pressure, the B-Rank Spiritual Clothes will proliferate, turning into two B-Rank Spiritual Clothes, limit of two shots.]

The effect could only be considered decent; if a Spirit Master's spiritual quantity is insufficient, using this could allow storing several Spiritual Clothes ahead of time for instant use in battle.

Though the effect was average, the B-Level status made it worth taking.

Of course, Xia Feng did not immediately use it to steal authentically lest Che Yinyou notice something abnormal, which would be counterproductive.

"This person is a distinguished guest commanded by the Goddess to be brought back to the island, Che Yinyou, are you openly defying the Eternal Day's decree?" Ye Lin's beautiful eyes were cold.

"Oh yo, a distinguished guest?"

The gray-haired young man grinned, "Which means he is not one of us from Burning Heaven?"

"Then, as per the usual practice, we need to sever his limbs and turn them into a human swine to temporarily separate his body and soul 'encapsulate'," he asked. "Are we allowed on the island then?"

Che Yinyou twirled a silver pistol with his fingers, smiling broadly, "Sister Ye Lin, will you do the honors, or should your dear brother take care of it?"

Ye Lin's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and she spoke softly, "No need to trouble ourselves; once the Yao Stone is safely dispatched, I will 'encapsulate' this person myself."

"Fine by me."

The gray-haired youth watched her with a faint smile, "Dear sister, I'll be watching you perform the 'encapsulation' personally later. Ah, just thinking about that scene excites me."

"You think so, esteemed guest?" He looked toward Xia Feng, his eyes cold and mocking.

"If you don't dare to kill me, just say so," Xia Feng rolled his eyes, "You really talk too much."

"..." The gray-haired youth's gaze darkened again, but he scoffed, "Kid, do you really think you're someone important? Your death awaits you once you enter the island."

"Enough, stop your nonsense, Che Yinyou."

Ye Lin's voice was cold, "Where's the command token from Walker Che Taixian?"

The gray-haired youth tossed a token in his hand and moved to one end of the Array, "Let's begin."

Ye Lin also took out a token and walked to the other end of the Array, crushing the token.

Instantly, the Array's intricate patterns lit up one by one with golden light, connecting strange starry lines in the air.

The Array was still forming.

However, a Mind Transmission resounded in Xia Feng's heart:

"Saint Heir, if you wish to keep your identity hidden, according to the rules, we indeed have to 'encapsulate' you. I will take action after the Yao Stone is sent off. Remember not to resist; otherwise, Che Yinyou will have a reason to harm you."

"Okay." Although Xia Feng said this, he already had a plan to seize the Yao Stone.

Encapsulation was out of the question, let alone entering the island.

Since these fools are planning to initiate the Eternal Daylight and summon the will of Eternal Day.

He would have to use this situation to his advantage and, in the process, take Che Yinyou down.

But before that, there were some things he needed to clarify.

"Ye Lin, which deities are behind Burning Heaven? How many factions are there?"

"Three deities."

Although Ye Lin didn't know why he was asking this now, she still explained,

"They are the Destruction Star God, Heavenly Gifted Disaster, and Eternal Day Goddess. However, due to various reasons, Heavenly Gift and Eternal Day are yet to achieve Divinity and are at the Fake God level, just a step away from the Eighth Divine Rank."

"This is why, although there are over a dozen factions within Burning Heaven, the two largest factions are the 'World-Destroying Faction,' also known as the Burning Heaven Sect, which worships the Heavenly Gifted Disaster, and the 'God-Making Faction,' also known as the Goddess Hall, which worships the Eternal Day Goddess."

"Although the Destruction Star God is the strongest, due to certain reasons, its followers are very few. However, the followers of the Destruction Star God hold high status, and nobody dares to provoke them lightly."

"Che Yinyou is a follower of Destruction, and so is his brother Che Taixian."

"That is why, Saint Heir, if Che Yinyou disregards everything, he is truly capable of finding a way to kill you. The followers of Destruction have been lawless over the years, and even the commands of the Goddess can be defied by them from time to time..."

Ye Lin shared a lot of information at once, and after digesting it for a moment, Xia Feng reflected, seemingly wanting to ask more.

"Whoom!!!"

Just then, golden light shot up from the Array into the sky!

A terrifying Spiritual Pressure burst forth, causing everyone to feel a heaviness in their hearts, as a hurricane roared past their ears.

A terrifying divine will descended!
