I Bound Myself to a Destructive Witch
Chapter 591 - 591: 559. No choice but to do it!

Although there wasn't any Level A Spirit Paper, the terms Feng Jianyi offered were indeed very generous and enticing.

Moreover, among them was the Synchronized Pendant that Xia Feng found especially appealing.

"If you agree to this price,"

Feng Jianyi knocked on the table, his honest and plain face full of sincerity, "then we can discuss whether you genuinely have a way to help my daughter and me escape to safety?"

His tone carried a hint of doubt, his eyes narrowing slightly, "After all, you seem to be trapped in a cage yourself right now, aren't you?"

"..."

Ah... this question was a good one. Xia Feng blinked; his vision blurred by the many attractive items. He truly... hadn't carefully considered whether he could actually escape successfully.

Let alone how to take Feng Jianyi and his daughter with him to safety.

Xia Feng's expression remained calm, as if he wasn't worried about Feng Jianyi's question, and he simply asked with a faint smile, "Mr. Feng, do you know about the Apocalypse and Holy Department's troop deployments?"

"Apocalypse Knight Jing Jiu, Venerate Forth Level, Holy Department Director for the Third Major Area Lin Tianhou, Venerable Two Level.

There are approximately more than 200 Holy Department Investigators, scattered over the Star Iron conducting searches; their strengths aren't high; they are all Low to Mid-Level Spirit Masters."

"The Holy Department isn't a concern; the real challenge comes from Jing Jiu's ten servant knights of the True Martial Level. Although they aren't Venerables, the Spiritual Clothes Arrays they form with the blessings of Divine Relics possess the power of Venerate Four Level."

"It's equivalent to having two Venerable Four Level powers locking down the entire Star Iron. Even if you use Different Space concealment or long-distance spatial jumps as escape tactics, you won't be able to elude Jing Jiu's pursuit."

"You can't escape with spatial jumps? Why?"

"This person excels in Level A Spiritual Clothes, almost all related to space, especially adept at tracking and blockading. No criminal has ever escaped Jing Jiu's pursuit, hence the former Empire's rebels derogatorily referred to him as 'Hyena Jing Jiu'."

"Not only is he fast, but he's also very patient; once he has you in his sights, he won't rest until he bites a chunk out of you."

Having said this, Feng Jianyi sighed, his complexion not looking too good.

Jing Jiu had been pursuing him across several major areas, right up until this location, and now he had finally run out of places to run.

However, fortunately, there's always a way out. Just a moment ago, when Feng Jianyi left the restroom, he heard his daughter say that she saw a lady in a blue dress with a fox tail.

Immediately, he realized that this woman could very likely be related to the legendary Nine-tailed Star God!

Could it be... the reincarnation of the Nine-tailed Star God?

What's more surprising to him was that his daughter said this seemingly Nine-tailed mysterious being was linked by a master-servant contract to the youth beside her.

The Nine-tailed was the servant; the youth was the master!

Afterward, he had his daughter draw portraits of the two based on her memory, only to discover that the lady in the blue dress was actually the Black Moon Saintess, Jiang Qiue!

The mysterious youth was the long-fugitive B-level wanted criminal, Xia Feng, who was about to be forgotten by the world.

Although surprised by the identities of the two individuals, Feng Jianyi did not delve too much into it.

After all.

For whatever reason, since Jiang Qiue chose to disguise her appearance, that meant she did not wish to reveal her identity here.

Xia Feng, being a wanted criminal, naturally wouldn't want to be discovered by the Apocalypse Knights.

The duty of the Apocalypse Knights is to strike at any individual or organization that threatens the interests of the Empire; Empire fugitives are also within their scope of enforcement.

Once encountered, they won't waste words; they will act immediately to eradicate the threat.

Hence, Feng Jianyi understood that Xia Feng, Jiang Qiue, and he shared a common goal.

To reach a more efficient collaboration while accurately grasping the general scope of each other's strength, he deliberately lowered his posture and offered rewards under the guise of seeking help to probe the other party.

The result wasn't disappointing,

But he couldn't be too happy about it either.

If Xia Feng had demanded Level S Spirit Paper, that would have indicated he possessed the strength to break through the siege and escape to safety with him and his daughter.

Xia Feng only asked for the A-grade Spirit Paper...hmm, even though that too was a reward he couldn't afford.

But it also indirectly proved that the young man's strength is currently insufficient to handle the extraordinary item of an S-grade Spirit Paper, so he didn't even consider it.

Of course, what truly confirmed the young man's strength for Feng Jianyi was, in fact, the Initial Destiny Stone.

This item is the core spiritual material for Ascension, and the young man's desire for this item most likely indicates that the daughter has recognized that the other party's True Martial Realm is not a false disguise— the young man hasn't even reached the Venerable Realm!

How could he possibly escape under the nose of the hyena Jing Jiu?

It's questionable whether the young man can escape with his life at all.

Despite his doubts, Feng Jianyi didn't choose to terminate the transaction but instead put forward his most sincere offer.

As for his continued willingness to negotiate with Xia Feng…

It was simple.

Purely because the Black Moon Saintess, clearly in the Venerable Realm and possibly even the Nine-tailed Star God, had become Xia Feng's servile and submissive servant.

The mere reason alone was enough for him to take the risk.

What's more.

Having no way out, he could only treat a dead horse as if it were still alive...

After listening attentively to the military deployment of the Apocalypse and the Holy Department, Xia Feng felt it was a bit grim.

Could no one escape the pursuit of the hyena Jing Jiu... he mused. If that was the case, it would indeed spell doom.

However, after a bit of thought.

Xia Feng still came up with a likely...perhaps plausible method for escape.

Hmm, although he wasn't confident in the method himself, given the circumstances...

He had to make it work!

Xia Feng glanced at the 'Synchronized Pendant' displayed on the tablet, looked up, and gave a faint smile, "Okay, it's a deal."

He wasn't doing this to become Venerable, nor was he doing it for the Synchronized Pendant; he was purely interested in helping others~~

"Oh? Are you confident?" Feng Jianyi's pupils narrowed slightly.

"Of course," Xia Feng gave a light smile, he had to appear confident even without it, for confidence was a pinnacle, "Mr. Feng, rest assured, an Apocalypse Knight of mere Venerate Four status is not a concern."

Watching Xia Feng's nonchalant and lofty demeanor, Jiang Qiue pursed her lips and silently looked away; this bastard was getting more and more shameless.

How could they possibly escape in such a desperate situation?

She, too, had heard of the notoriety of the hyena Jing Jiu, truly formidable; there was no escape.

"Since your excellency is confident, I choose to trust you as well."

Feng Jianyi nodded slowly, his voice grave, "As for the reward, once you help our father and daughter escape pursuit, you can proceed to collect it in District 15, Litian City."

He placed two interwoven gold and silver keys on the table, marked with the numbers 7 and 8, respectively.

"The Heavenly Stone Embryo, Initial Destiny Stone, and Divine Relics·Synchronized Pendant are all in Laboratory 7. The Divine Relics·When the Cicada Wails is in Laboratory 8."

As he spoke, he took out a black leather map and a blood storage vial, sliding them across the table to Xia Feng,

"This is the location of the two laboratories. The blood storage vial contains my specially made blood, which is necessary to enter the laboratories; the map details its usage."

Xia Feng blinked as he looked at the items before him, inwardly resigned; he had thought that Feng Jianyi would be able to hand over the items immediately.

But judging by Feng Jianyi's manner, it wasn't that the laboratories were all over the Empire, but at least spread across several districts.

Probably, there wouldn't be enough time to collect his possessions from each lab during the escape.

Fortunately, the laboratories were located in District 15, which was actually on the way.
