I Bound Myself to a Destructive Witch
Chapter 674 - 674: 642

"We can't escape."

Mu Qingtong shook her head and sat upright. "I intended to take you to forcibly break through the city's barrier."

"But only when we reached the outskirts did I realize that Litian City's barrier and defensive power had already risen from C-level preparedness to S-level maximum wartime status."

S-level? Xia Feng was shocked.

Litian City, as the military and political core of the fifteenth district, would normally only activate S-level maximum wartime status in the face of a full-scale invasion by the Evil Clan.

Even when Xia Feng previously stole the Sumeru King Order and Lord Ye Li Dong ordered the city to be sealed, it was only at C-level preparedness.

After all, each level up consumes exponentially more resources.

According to Xia Feng's estimation, even if Lord Ye Li Dong suddenly died, at most it would activate B-level wartime.

Unless some sage important to the Empire died in Litian City, or even a God Fall occurred, then A-level wartime might be activated.

Yet now, skipping two levels directly, to S-level maximum wartime?

Is it a massive invasion by the Evil Clan?

Xia Feng frowned deeply, feeling it unlikely.

Then, has something equivalent to an Evil Clan full-scale invasion happened in Litian City?

Thinking about this made him pause, a dreadful expression appeared in his black eyes, "Damn... Miss Mu, we might have been exposed!"

Xia Feng didn't expect the Star Phenomena Bureau to lock onto Sirius so quickly,

It seems that this time triggering the Sky Wolf Holy Seat accelerated the Star Phenomena Bureau's tracking speed of Sirius.

Just uncertain how precise the location information the Star Phenomena Bureau has.

"Miss Mu, don't you feel anxious?"

"Even if a sage arrived, they couldn't break through Litian City's S-level maximum wartime defensive barrier, so there's no use being anxious."

Mu Qingtong looked up at the sky, "We should first seize the time to recover our physical condition, Mr. Xia."

Xia Feng sighed helplessly, realizing that breaking through the barrier and leaving Litian City forcefully wasn't feasible.

Just uncertain if Miss Mu and I fused and died together, whether I could bring Miss Mu with me into the Evil River.

"Buzz—"

Before they had rested enough to recover, they seemed to hear some noise, both looked up.

"Someone's coming."

Mu Qingtong thought for a moment, put on a mask to conceal her aura, she hadn't revealed herself throughout Lord Ye Li Dong's birthday banquet.

Neither Sword Heart nor Business had discovered her presence.

So, first disguise the identity and observe the situation calmly.

Xia Feng activated the Eye of Decompilation, his vision pierced through the infinite ocean water to the surface.

In the far sky of sunset, there were black dots faintly enlarging, they were legion fleet belonging to the Sky Fortress, densely flying towards here.

Additionally, in the southern cloud sky, a dark military ship resembling a giant whale broke through the clouds, the side of the ship was engraved with a platinum sun symbol.

That was the family emblem of the Jinyang Power Faction.

At this time, the space above the whale warship seemed to gather threads of light, a man in a platinum military robe stepped out from the space.

Each step of his platinum long boots on the void caused rippling platinum streams similar to water ripples.

The man's facial features were sharp like carved blades, with eyes narrowing into the sharpness of a falcon, his partially hidden golden hair under a vivid platinum eagle helmet, the eagle beak curved downward just covering the bridge of his nose, splitting his cold and handsome face into two.

Holy Realm! Xia Feng sensed the man's power, quickly withdrew his gaze to prevent being discovered for spying.

Yet just before retracting his gaze, through his Eye of Decompilation he vaguely saw that within the platinum eagle helmet on the man's forehead, bizarre characters flowed that seemed to spell "N̸͆͡resa̴̽aȑ̴vay̷̹t̴̢".

It seemed highly probable that this platinum eagle helmet was indeed a divine relic from the Life Roulette.

Xia Feng speculated in his mind, could it be that this man also possessed a Sumeru Seat?

At the same time.

The man in a platinum robe stepped, and instantly appeared inside the flagship of the Lidong Army.

Inside the ship,

all officers were startled and immediately stood to prepare for attack.

But Sword Heart waved his hand at the center command platform, the officers hesitated and respectfully stepped back.

The man, with a cold expression, ascended the stairs and entered the command platform where Sword Heart was.

"Who is this guy? So arrogant?" a Third-level Season Envoy whispered.

"You don't know? That's Jinyang Tian, the current leading figure of the Jinyang Family, someone even Mr. Dongjun fears."

Upon hearing this, the Season Envoy was astonished, "He's the god-level genius who made the Jinyang Family glorious again?"

It was not surprising.

After all, god-level geniuses are unique figures with the potential to become gods, capable of reaching the realm of sages.

If a thousand years represents an era,

every era's superpowers witness the emergence of 1-2 super geniuses.

But in one era, only 1-2 god-level geniuses appear throughout the Empire, leaving other so-called geniuses in their wake.

Previously, there was online talk about the Pope's son Dipus being a god-level genius.

Yet, when they saw Dipus in action at Mr. Dongjun's birthday banquet, honestly, compared to Jinyang Tian, Dipus fell significantly short.

But it was understandable, as the Black Moon Church used the internet era, brought by the Spirit Science's development, to gather followers by shamelessly promoting their greatness.

They can label ordinary geniuses as super geniuses.

Super geniuses labeled as god-level geniuses.

Perhaps Dipus has some skills, but likely not as miraculous as online claims.

Jinyang Tian was different.

Those cronies loyal to Lord Ye Li Dong knew that Mr. Dongjun always viewed Jinyang Tian as a rival...

This description might not be too respectful of Mr. Dongjun.

But it was the truth.

Moreover, there had been rumors that the Great Lord Business intended for Jinyang Tian to replace Lord Ye Li Dong as the new disciple.

"What did Jinyang Tian come to discuss with Lord Jianxin?"

"As someone who joined us recently, it's understandable you don't know," a Season Envoy said quietly, "Before becoming Lord Dongjun's confidant, Lord Jianxin was originally named 'Jinyang Xin,' from the Jinyang Power Faction."

"Ah? And her relation with Jinyang Tian... Could they be mother and son?"

"Dream on, Lord Jianxin has never been married, she's just Jinyang Tian's aunt."

"Aunt? Lord Jianxin is that old?"

"...I see you have a death wish."

While whispering, the Season Envoy raised his head to look at the command platform.
