Chapter 857 - 655: Unprecedented (Part 2)
"Let me introduce myself, my name is Qi Jin. The Spirit Celestial King is my father."
The young man introduced himself.
The son of the Spirit Celestial King?
The young man’s identity was somewhat unexpected to Hong Yi, but she didn’t care too much.
"My name is Hong Yi."
Hong Yi responded, and then there was silence. In the slightly awkward atmosphere, the two walked out of the café.
"You’re being followed."
Qi Jin suddenly said, his eyes looking at the crowded street, but he didn’t spot the follower.
"Mm, that person has been watching me, probably one of Hong Tao’s subordinates."
Hong Yi said.
Qi Jin glanced at Hong Yi and asked, "Do you need help killing him?"
Kill him?
Hong Yi’s eyes widened in disbelief as her mouth slightly opened.
To openly kill a King here?
And this King might even be a Guardian.
Hong Yi knew of the Pure Land’s reckless style, but she did not expect them to be so crazy.
The young man in front of her, dressed in a white suit and seemingly pretentious, gave her a sense of threat, probably a King, but could he kill the watcher?
With the Pure Land’s foundation, perhaps they had that strength.
But even if successful, could they escape unscathed?
Looking at Hong Yi’s surprised and suspicious gaze, Qi Jin smiled and said, "Don’t look at me like that, I definitely don’t have that strength, but on this trip to pick you up, the Spirit Celestial King bestowed upon me a clone projection. Killing a King isn’t difficult. Now that you’re already an Apostle of the Spirit Celestial King, if someone harbors ill intentions toward you and you take their life, it’s quite normal. If there’s an issue, the Pure Land will handle it."
Hong Yi suddenly understood and then shook her head slightly.
She was not one to kill wantonly.
The person was only monitoring her, following Hong Tao’s orders, and hadn’t done anything harmful. There was no need to kill.
Qi Jin did not continue to press the issue.
Although he spoke casually, even arrogantly, avoiding unnecessary conflict was naturally preferable.
Killing one of Hong Tao’s subordinates was unnecessary, but a single rash act could cause a chain reaction.
"Do you want to say goodbye to your family?" Qi Jin asked.
"No need."
Hong Yi shook her head slightly, not because she didn’t want to, but because it was safer to leave quickly now.
Above, "Venus" constantly watched over her, which was both a protection and surveillance.
A Spirit Medium with a sealed Celestial Chart Demon Beast staying within the Base City was inherently dangerous.
No level of precaution was excessive.
If it weren’t for joining the Avengers Alliance, which afforded her freedom and treatment due to their record and strength, this wouldn’t be possible.
"How do we leave?"
Hong Yi looked at Qi Jin.
She was already locked onto by the Guardian Divine Artifact, which could sense her no matter where she went.
"Just walk out."
As Qi Jin spoke, he took out a transparent sphere the size of a baseball and then crushed it. The next moment, a glowing Space Gate appeared before them.
Hong Yi found it slightly difficult to breathe, as she could vaguely sense a terrifying aura from the Space Gate.
At the same time, a dazzling golden beam descended from the sky.
It was a preemptive warning from the Guardian Divine Artifact.
"You go first."
Qi Jin said.
Without hesitation, Hong Yi took one last look in the direction of home, stepped into the Space Gate, and Qi Jin followed closely behind. As the Space Gate closed, a middle-aged man with graying temples appeared at the spot where Hong Yi had previously stood.
"They actually escaped."
The middle-aged man’s face showed displeasure.
He hadn’t expected Hong Yi to escape under the surveillance of the Guardian Divine Artifact and right under his nose.
"Pure Land."
The middle-aged man murmured, quickly opened a Space Gate, and traversed through space. This kind of divine skill-like means was possessed by only one place.
After a moment of silence, unable to sense any trace of Hong Yi, the man took out a phone and made a call.
Three minutes later, Hong Tao appeared.
At this time, his face was extremely unpleasant, his dark visage gloomy as if it could drip water.
"Void Gate."
Hong Tao murmured. At this moment, he could no longer sense Hong Yi’s presence.
He did not blame the man or ask questions; no one expected Hong Yi to be connected with Pure Land, possibly even becoming an Apostle.
Originally planning to act against Hong Yi after Lin Feng left, he did not regard Yun Kai and others as important.
With or without Lin Feng, the Avengers Alliance represented two completely different concepts.
Lin Feng’s presence alone could at least double, if not multiply, the Avengers Alliance’s combat strength.
He allowed teammates to fight without worries; even if trapped in danger, Lin Feng could use the Stand Soul Skill to rescue, and kept numerous teammates always in optimal combat positions. This was Lin Feng’s true terrifying power.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t be dreaded this much.
Ten or more Kings could surround and kill an Emperor, but the usual outcome was more than half injured or killed, even complete annihilation.
With one or two deaths, morale would falter.
In dealing with other organizations and powers, Hong Tao would choose to kill indiscriminately, attacking freely, or applying pressure if killing wasn’t feasible.
However, facing Pure Land’s strength, all Hong Tao could do was swallow his fury and leave.
Fortunately, the Seal was still there.
As long as the Seal remained, Hong Yi’s life and death were within his control.
Hong Yi joining Pure Land might not be a bad thing.
