I Bound Myself to a Destructive Witch

Xia Feng and Mu Qingtong stood back to back, their expressions tense as they quickly scanned their surroundings.

Four directions.

To the south stood an old man clad in deep red church robes, holding the Black Moon Holy Scripture in one hand.

To the north, a youthful man with gray hair and handsome features commanded attention whether it was due to his stunning heterochromatic red and blue eyes or the fact that he was seated in a wheelchair.

To the west was a golden staff, the surface densely engraved with patterns of dragons, birds, tigers, and other beasts. With its arrival, there seemed to be a sweeping majestic aura of a herd of beasts running rampant, enveloping heaven and earth.

To the east, behind the sparkling Silver Radiant Holy Sword, a man with huge white wings folded his eyes closed. A golden wing-shaped sign glowed bright on his forehead while the sky disk of the moon appeared behind him, as if he were a deity.

Xia Feng recognized that the old man in church robes was the Red Archbishop O'Beilein from the Black Moon Church.

The golden staff was associated with a mysterious entity that had been inexplicably hunting them for months. Later, according to Miss Mu's investigation, the staff's owner was identified as "Tian Yuan," also known as Mr. Yuan, who now belonged to the Star Phenomena Bureau.

As for the young man in the wheelchair, that was naturally Lord Yeli Dong.

Lastly, and most terrifying in presence, was the angelic man, Yophiel, the Angel's Right Wing, who, like Lord Yeli Dong, was an apprentice but boasted the strength of a Sage!

O'Beilein and Tian Yuan were at the Second Realm of Venerable.

Lord Yeli Dong belonged to the Fourth Realm of Venerable.

Were three Venerables and one Sage really here to kill them?!

Xia Feng was bewildered. Was Lord Yeli Dong that incredible? To kill him, they needed to bring in so many heavy hitters? Was it really necessary...

Xia Feng's thought suddenly halted. Something didn't seem quite right. Since the golden staff had also appeared here, it must have pursued them for so long for a reason—this reason must have been why the four powerhouses had come.

Thinking this and combining it with the Holy Judge Mandatory Death Decree that had suddenly cursed both their souls a few days ago, as well as what Xia Feng had learned from a Golden Sparrow Flower Noble about the existence of Sirius, the star of calamity in the Star Realm,

All the clues suggested that these people were most likely here because of the Destructive Witch!

Xia Feng realized that the Death Decree was also aimed at Miss Mu, but since he had synchronized with her, due to some unique mechanism, the Death Decree seemed to have been passed on to him as well, making it appear as if they were both cursed at the same time.

Amid these rapid thoughts of Xia Feng,

The pupils of Lord Yeli Dong narrowed, his handsome face taking on a slightly more ominous cast. The moment he arrived, he realized that Sirius's location was actually East Victory Fortress!

Previously, after Tian Yuan had come out of the Holy Spirit Temple, he had spoken to them briefly about the plan to encircle and annihilate Sirius.

Over half a month ago, when Tian Yuan had asked the Holy Master to impose the Death Decree on Sirius, they began to use the "Holy Judge Positioning" based on the star's location.

However, this positioning was more like a prophecy, predicting the time when the target would be at its weakest in combined strength and would appear at a certain spatial coordinate.

After more than half a month of calculations, they finally determined the time and locked in the location.

Then they requested the assistance of Angel's Right Wing, Yophiel, who used spatial transportation Spiritual Clothes to precisely teleport everyone to the designated coordinates.

What Lord Yeli Dong had not anticipated was that this location would turn out to be East Victory Fortress! The so-called Sirius was... person K? Or person Q?

But that no longer mattered because, seeing that these two were still alive and the core military area was in ruins, Lord Yeli Dong realized—

Yeli Helian was dead! The entire East Victory Fortress had been plundered empty!

Not only that, but when his thoughts swept over the core region, only a deep pit remained at the center. The Origin Flower, Origin Water, and even the soil had been excavated by someone who left nothing behind for him.

Not even the Angel Cage was left!

It was obviously the work of the K-face people!!

Meanwhile, at the Holy Spirit Temple, the crowd on Holy Spirit Square could also see the scene at East Victory Fortress through the space image, all somewhat shocked.

"How could it be them?!"

People from the Golden Sparrow Flower Nobles and Black Moon Church furrowed their brows.

Among the Golden Sparrow followers, Ke Yanqing, holding her oiled paper umbrella, saw a cold light flash in the depths of her eyes the moment she laid eyes on the K-face people. As a devotee of the Destructive Witch, "Mother's" handmaiden, she had experienced a secret and wanton humiliation by the K-face people in front of her brother Kovis during the Spiritual Song Competition—an indignity she would never forget in her lifetime.

Afterward, she had called upon "Mother" to report the incident and then learned that the K-face people might carry the Residual Spirit of "Mother," which was why they could arbitrarily control her body.

Utterly despicable!

"Mother" ordered her to hunt down the K-face people at all costs and retrieve the Residual Spirit. She had chased them for months, but the K-face people had such intricate and devious methods that, in the end, she still let them escape.

Just passing through Sector 41, she had intended to participate in the secret operation to hunt down Sirius, but by some fluke, she had once again encountered that bastard K-face person!

"Sister Qing, could it be that Sirius is the K-face person?!" Kovis said from behind her, astonished.

"Whether it is or isn't," Ke Yanqing said with a cold, indifferent smile, "both he and Q-face will die."

Conveniently, the Golden Sparrow Flower Nobles had not taken part in the hunt on-site, but they had provided the technology for the space blockade, and the cage formed by those four beams of light was the work of the Golden Sparrow Flower Nobles, blocking any space-related abilities.

Unless space itself collapsed, causing a chaotic flow of time, no one could escape this cage.

And because of that, once Sirius died, the Golden Sparrow Flower Nobles were also entitled to a share of the spoils. The treasures on the K-face person would surely be plentiful; it wasn't too much for the Golden Sparrow Flower Nobles to claim the Residual Spirit that originally belonged to "Mother."

From the direction of the Black Moon Church, Jiang Qiue and Master Yusi were equally astonished, not expecting to see the figure of the mask person here again.

No wonder Tian Yuan had been relentlessly pursuing the K-face and Q-face people; was it because they suspected one of them to be Sirius?

Jiang Qiue's eyes flickered with thought. No wonder the power levels of these two were so aberrant, and they had no end to their tricks! She wondered which of the two could be Sirius, or could they both be?

No, that was impossible, the odds were too small.

The Empire's territories were vast, and the chance of two Sirius meeting before they became known was virtually none.

Moreover, according to the Star Phenomena Bureau's observations, one of the Sirius was still at First Rank, but both of these individuals were at least at Fifth Rank now, which didn't match.

But regardless, both of them were going to die.

This did not meet Jiang Qiue's expectations.

The Q-face person could die.

But the blood of the K-face person was very... sweet, beneficial for increasing her power, even lifting the seal within her. If possible, Jiang Qiue did not really want the K-face person to die.

After all, the blood of the K-face person was definitely Dragon Blood, and moreover, it was of a high-ranking True Name Dragon Blood. With the extinction of the Dragon Clan, this was an incredible existence.

However, the hunting operation against Sirius had to be done. Without being certain who was Sirius, killing both individuals was the most prudent decision, so the other four powers would certainly not let the K-face person go.

The woman in the green dress stood with her hands behind her back, gazing at the solemn vista of the fortress reflected in the sky, a tinge of regret in her cold, beautiful eyes.

"What a pity…"
