"What's going on... who's helping me from the shadows?"
Just as Xia Feng was perplexed, a woman in a black dress slowly emerged from the shadows, "Mr. Xia, if you keep spacing out, the pursuers will catch up to you."
Xia Feng looked up with a light chuckle, "Well, what a coincidence, Miss Mu. Are you here for a visit to the Black Moon Church too?"
"I came to see how an idiot meets his end. But it seems like that show's been canceled."
"Hey, hey, how can you launch personal attacks like that!"
"Come with me." The woman in the black dress said with a gentle smile, and suddenly a ring of fire appeared behind her, forming a door which she stepped through.
Xia Feng glanced at the pursuers behind him, then quickly followed her into the portal.
"This is a temporary Space Gate your adoptive father provided, it leads directly to 'The Coast'." Mu Qingtong explained, "It's probably the power of the White Dragon Walker, they were just at Judgement Square too."
"So those robed figures were their people?" Xia Feng was surprised.
"Based on my conjecture, the robed figures should be from the Elemental Church." Mu Qingtong took out two tickets, handing one to Xia Feng.
Elemental Church, huh... Xia Feng nodded thoughtfully.
"We obviously can't take the regular ships, so I bought two smuggling ship tickets through a special channel."
Xia Feng glanced at the ticket in his hand, which was a deep black with dim red text barely visible.
[Ticket Type: Business-Class Capsule Ship]
[Passenger Name: Mu Feng]
Leaving the vast area of Zone 51 could be done in two ways. The first was by taking the 'Imperial Star Iron,' which, although slow, was backed by official endorsement and thus safe.
But precisely because it was managed by the Empire, it was all the more impossible for Xia Feng to take.
The second was by special ships manufactured by the major sailing companies, which after years of development, had come together to form what is called the Mars Shipping Alliance.
Lost in thought, Xia Feng looked around him. Follow current novels on novel※fire.net
It was a semi-circular platform suspended in a dazzling starry sky, the size of ten sports fields, with the ground paved with an unknown dusky bronze material.
Looking far into the distance, Xia Feng noticed at the edge of the platform's arc, a gigantic golden gate stood towering,
stretching from the ground to the sky, emitting a glow that wasn't blinding. However, Xia Feng could sense an undeniable sense of solemnity and sacredness emanating from it.
It stood silently in the pitch-black void, as if it had been there since ancient times, majestic and desolate.
On the gate, there were constant flashes of spatial anomalies, with occasional capsule ships emerging out of thin air, advancing onto the platform.
At the same time, several capsule ships, as well as huge airships, rose from the platform and disappeared into the light gate.
Everything was orderly.
The Eternal Flow Sea was not an ordinary sea but rather a chaotic time-space current. It was named so because it resembled water and flowed perpetually in one direction.
Falling into the Eternal Flow Sea might mean getting lost in the tangled fabric of space and time forever or, with a minuscule chance, being dropped at random into one of the large zones.
For this reason, the Empire had developed various ships specifically designed to navigate through the Eternal Flow Sea.
The Capsule Ship was one of these.
"Thump, thump, thump—"
Just then, the sound of knight boots striking the ground echoed not far away, as several Black Moon Knights appeared at the ticket checkpoint, chatting with the staff.
Xia Feng's expression changed slightly, "Damn, these guys really know how to pursue. Let's go!"
The two hurriedly split up. Xia Feng quickly found his capsule ship, jet-black, just two meters in length, with the height and width not over a meter. The sci-fi texture of the hull had the logo [⊕ Mars Shipping ⊕] etched in its center.
"Speaking of which, are you planning to escape with me?" Xia Feng asked, puzzled as he looked at Mu Qingtong.
Mu Qingtong paused and replied with confusion, "You don't want to?"
"Er, it's not that." Xia Feng coughed, refrained from asking anything more, and squeezed into the narrow cabin.
But just as he entered, Mu Qingtong also forcefully squeezed in.
"???" Xia Feng felt a heavy pressure on his lower body and was shocked, "Hey, hey, you said you bought two tickets, right? Why are you cramming into mine! The capsule ship is only big enough for one person to lie down!"
