I Bound Myself to a Destructive Witch
Chapter 572 - 572: 540. Mutation!

"Something's not right?"

Xia Feng was puzzled and looked around.

Nobles were moving through the luxurious hall, where the piano music floated melodiously; they were all talking and laughing cheerfully.

All was peaceful.

Xia Feng activated his Eye of Decompilation and looked out of the hull, where the deep blue waters formed a magnificent scene akin to the Star River, propelling the giant Star Wheel forward.

Due to the ship's speed, which was too fast for the naked eye to discern, it seemed as though the Star Wheel was moving backward in time.

Everything was in reverse.

Xia Feng walked over to the window and frowned as he observed for a while, noticing something unusual, "Miss Mu, do you see if the course of this Star Wheel has changed?"

Mu Qingtong also looked up at the window, her beautiful eyes slightly narrowed, and nodded.

In different parts of the Eternal Flow Sea, the stability of space-time varies; some areas are prone to spawn space-time torrents that devour all beings that enter.

While in other areas, even if Spirit Masters duel and create massive energy fluctuations, it would not result in space-time torrents.

Fortunately, after thousands of years of development, stable navigation routes had been explored between each major region.

The Empire had placed flags of special materials at intervals along these routes to guide the ships traversing the Eternal Flow Sea.

But through the Eye of Decompilation, Xia Feng and his companion discovered that as the Star Wheel moved forward, there were no signs of any Empire flags around.

Removing these flags would not be easy; it couldn't be done in a few days or even a month.

Thus, there was only one possibility left.

The Star Wheel had long strayed from the normal route and was now heading in an unknown direction.

Just as Xia Feng realized this, before he could observe more,

the light stream in front of the Star Wheel gradually brightened, and quietly there appeared a... giant turtle?

It was a creature composed of ice-blue light streams, resembling the ancient mythological Xuanwu, majestic as a mountain lying directly ahead,

In front of it, the Star Wheel was like a tiny insect, senselessly rushing toward its head.

Everything happened too quickly; just as Xia Feng and his companion noticed this anomaly, they were already close to the giant turtle.

The people on the Star Wheel were also stunned as they looked outside the windows; the god-like giant presence chilled everyone to the bone.

In a state of panic and before they could fully see what it was, the entire Star Wheel had already entered the mouth of the ice turtle.

"Sss—"

An endless chill with ice-blue luminescence spread from the front cabin of the Star Wheel to the middle and rear sections.

In that instant,

Spirit Masters below the Fifth Rank were instantly frozen into blocks, their horrified expressions forever captured.

True Martial Level Spirit Masters changed their expressions dramatically, each using their techniques to barely resist the bizarre icy attack.

But the crisis was clearly far from over.

As numerous cracking sounds echoed simultaneously, the side cabin cracked and burst open violently, and the terrifying shards of ice flung several True Martial Spirit Masters out instantly.

Screams and cries filled the giant Star Wheel, quickly dissipating into the icy winds outside.

One by one, people fell out of the Star Wheel, disappearing without a trace.

Xia Feng and Mu Qingtong, too, couldn't resist the dreadful suction and were uncontrollably flung toward opposite sides of the cabin.

Xia Feng frowned; he found himself completely unable to activate his Spiritual Clothes, and even his spiritual power was suppressed to an extremely low level.

He quickly entered the Holy Knight Space, moving forward trying to grab Miss Mu's hand, but from the side, a fiery arrow whistled through the air, piercing his forearm and taking some blood with it—it pinned his arm, along with his body, against the cabin wall—bang!

In a fierce move, Xia Feng pulled out the arrow; however, a restraining circle of light appeared under his feet, preventing him from moving.

"Jiang Qiue!"

With Xia Feng's thoughts, a woman in a green dress appeared instantly by Mu Qingtong's side, wrapping her arm around her waist, but once again, the sound of several arrows breaking through the air came from behind.

"Bang bang!" Cha Naixue appeared like a ghost, her purple pupils lighting up with cold light as she effortlessly blocked the arrows, then turned back to pull the two women inside the cabin.

However, the floor tiles that had already frozen underneath cracked.

"Whoosh—" The three women were swept away by the icy blue current, quickly disappearing amidst the flow.

As the creatures within the Star Wheel were cleared out, a thin light blue film covered the surface of the cabin walls, and the wildly flying objects inside regained gravity and fell to the ground with a crash.

Xia Feng glanced at the golden light circle under his feet that resembled a chastity bracelet. Standing within the circle, he had not moved at all, trapped inside.

While contemplating, he looked around. The entire Star Wheel seemed to have entered an ice age. Whether it was objects or creatures, all were frozen into blocks of ice, dead silent.

Xia Feng then looked up to the second floor.

The second floor was always covered with a light blue light film, without any damage.

Behind the transparent window, there sat two men and a woman.

The blond man in the center of the sofa was handsome, dressed in a chic, elegant deep black suit, sitting with his legs crossed, appearing to rest with his eyes closed.

It was Ye Li Kong.

On the right side of the sofa was a handsome man wearing trendy sunglasses, his lips curled into a light smile.

Xia Feng had seen this man when he first boarded the Star Wheel. His name was Mo Zixin, a celebrity.

On the left side of the sofa, a tall woman with red skin skillfully twirled a dagger in her hand, her scarlet eyes indifferent.

"Olivia?"

Xia Feng was impressed; did this woman really enjoy betraying her allies so much?

After stabbing Obrian in the back, now she's teamed up with Ye Li Kong?

He truly didn't understand what Olivia's motives were.

Or could it be... she thought that the Black Moon Church was doomed and thus switched sides in advance?

As Xia Feng pondered, he suddenly noticed that the Divine Mirror Platform was acting up, and his mind dipped into sensing it.

It was the "B-level Spiritual Artifact, Heart Stealing Ring," showing a melding reaction!

The Heart Stealing Ring was formed from the fusion of the excitement ring and Thousand Hands Guanyin. Xia Feng had used it quite often, often with miraculous effects when used in conjunction with the Four Symbols Formation.

Looking at the current state, it seemed there might be a Spiritual Artifact nearby that could meld with it?

Xia Feng looked towards the three people on the second floor, puzzled. Why hadn't he sensed it before, and why had the melding sensation suddenly appeared?

As the reaction grew stronger, the name and information about this Spiritual Artifact emerged in his mind.

"Middle Position Spiritual Artifact · Heart Stealing Ring."

Each Spiritual Artifact was like a star scattered in the universe. If there was a star that could be at the very center of several other stars, that star and its represented Spiritual Artifact would be called a 'Middle Position Spiritual Artifact,' also known as an A-level Spiritual Artifact.

If he could obtain the Heart Stealing Ring, the rank of the Heart Stealing Ring would ascend to A-level, and its capabilities would be terrifyingly enhanced.

While pondering, Xia Feng suppressed the excitement in his heart and looked towards Ye Li Kong in the center of the sofa on the second floor, saying faintly,

"Let's be straightforward. You kept me here for a reason, what is it?"

The blond man slowly lifted his eyelids and was straightforward, "Divine Half-Dragon."

His odd, indifferent heavy pupils lorded over him:

"Now you have two options, either sign this pact and submit to me, becoming my servant."

"?"

"Or, die." The final word dropped flatly as a piece of elaborately carved Golden Paper floated down from the second floor, coming close to Xia Feng.

Xia Feng was somewhat speechless as he glanced at the pact.

Well, to enslave a descendent of the Pale Dragon God, I dare to sign this pact, but I doubt you dare to accept it.
