The space cracked like shattered glass, breaking apart, and the K-faced man reappeared in the Present Realm, holding the reins of his horse.
He glanced at Pang Xize's struggling, dying Spiritual Body and then shifted his gaze to the distant Wolf-tail Knight.
"Are you from Apocalypse?"
"Yin Shi, the current deputy head of the Garden Investigation Team."
The Wolf-tail Knight's grey-white eyes stared calmly at the K-faced man. "Based on my investigation, Pang Xize Walker is the mastermind behind a series of tragic cases and must be handed over to the 'Imperial Gate' for further examination and sentencing."
"Your Highness will not interfere with your grievances with Pang Xize, but his life must be preserved."
He is the mastermind? Xia Feng's eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked with a smile, "I see. So when will you execute Pang Xize?"
"The quantification of Pang Xize's crimes is not within my authority," the Wolf-tail Knight said in a bland tone.
Hearing this, Xia Feng roughly understood that at worst, Pang Xize would be imprisoned, not dead.
As for the series of tragic cases Yin Shi mentioned, they probably referred to the Garden and White Emperor City, but how could a walker have the power to cause such things? Xia Feng guessed he was probably just a scapegoat.
With this thought, Xia Feng's murderous intent intensified. Damn it, if they really let Pang Xize go to prison, it would be difficult to kill him.
Without paying any more attention to the Wolf-tail Knight, Xia Feng rode his horse forward, drawing his bow once again, with a glow converging into an arrow aimed directly at the brow of the humanoid skeleton ahead.
"It seems Your Highness intends to make an enemy of Apocalypse," said the Wolf-tail Knight blandly, dragging his enormous sword on the ground, emitting a metallic resonance as he slowly stepped forward.
Pang Xize's Spiritual Body twisted, his fearful eyes looking up at the approaching Miss Evil's pegasus, and at the K-faced man riding on Miss Evil's waist, he growled resentfully, "Kid, you just wait!"
He had to admit that he had taken a big fall this time, never expecting Xia Feng to be so defiant.
Fortunately, the Apocalypse Knight was here by chance to save his life.
But at that moment, an unexpected cry of surprise rang out.
Pang Xize glanced out of the corner of his eye and then saw a scene that filled him with despair.
A black-robed person with a blood-red Q mask quietly appeared on the right side of the Wolf-tail Knight, coldly eerie. She held the handle of a knife with her backhand, with the blade horizontally against Yin Shi's neck, and swiped with ease.
The Wolf-tail Knight's lifeless grey-whites eyes widened in confusion as his head flew into the air.
No, what the hell, Yin Shi? Dead just like that?!
"Blood Spirit clone."
Mu Qingtong flicked the blood from her knife blade and turned to look at Xia Feng. "Although this knight has the strength of the True Martial Realm, he is not the real body and has no soul." Discover more novels at n̷o̷v̷e̷l̷f̷i̷r̷e̷.net
Xia Feng had heard of the Blood Spirit clone, a well-known type of Spiritual Clothes clone that used blood to construct a puppet body.
Such clones had an obvious drawback: after death, they were unable to inherit memories until the main body reclaimed the clone and integrated the memories.
And if memories were to be synced at all times, only some very Rare Spiritual Artifacts could accomplish that.
However, with the clone having True Martial power, the main body was 100% a Venerable.
Moreover, the Blood Spirit clone had another characteristic—it had no soul.
Normally, this wouldn't matter much, but against Mu Qingtong, it became a fatal weakness.
Because Mu Qingtong's Spiritual Control could manipulate living beings, as well as forcefully control all soulless dead matter. To her, Yin Shi was just dead matter, even if he had True Martial strength, and the spiritual power in his shell was useless.
With the fall of the knife, a headless body let out a blood-colored orb of light, within which was contained a consciousness clone. Yin Shi didn't expect this Q-faced person to be so defiant as well, his heart heavy with the intent to speak.
Q-faced person slashed again with the backhand, the consciousness abruptly ended, completely silenced.
"Wait, wait a minute!" Pang Xize was terrified, and his fear of death made him completely unravel, as he considered kneeling and begging Xia Feng for mercy.
The arrow, flickering with black light, had been released, rapidly enlarging in the bottom of his resentful and fearful eyes.
It pierced through the Spiritual Body's brow! How could it be this way… His consciousness began to dissipate.
Everything had been ready; he was going to spend a couple of hundred years vacationing in prison before coming out again, the plan had been so perfect…
The Spiritual Body disintegrated, and the corpse fell forward.
The battlefield fell into deadly silence for a moment.
The remaining ninety Season Envoys were all a bit dumbfounded, staring agape at this scene.
Both the Apocalypse Knight and Xize Walker were True Martial Strong People, yet they died just like that?
Especially that Apocalypse Knight, so full of bluster, yet he died the fastest! The Season Envoys' faces turned ashen, some started to slowly back away, then turned and ran!
The formation of Envoys instantly became chaos, but they couldn't run away because the Destructive Witch had already surrounded them.
The battle recommenced, one Q-faced person fighting against ninety.
Xia Feng then began looting the spoils of war, starting with the Yin Shi. Although this one was just a useless avatar, it still exploded into a strange Compass, seeming to be a Divine Relic for recording images.
Xia Feng picked it up and tossed it into the Nash Space, then began to frantically loot the underground base.
Looting by himself was too slow, so he summoned all the Half-Dragons and began a systematic plunder of the island full of volcanoes!
Now, due to upgrading to A, the Nash Space, originally only 10 cubic meters, expanded to 100 cubic meters.
Enough for him to empty out most of the wealth of this fortress.
While looting, Xia Feng also checked the status of his Spiritual Artifacts.

Unlocking the third Holy Release ability would probably require the collection of all materials, a task long and arduous.
However, with the tireless looting of two thousand Half-Dragons, they actually found 10 Water Bright Stones, an unexpected gain.
He already had 30 Water Bright Stones, and with these 10, he was still short by 60.
And also two Life Trace Paths.
Aside from the Water Bright Stones, he also acquired 3 Fire Obsidian, 1 Golden Shining Stone, 209 grams of Infinite Stone, 143 grams of Holy Liquid, and nearly a thousand pieces of spiritual materials ranging from ranks 2 to 5, among which two rank-five materials were needed by Miss Mu, a bountiful harvest indeed.
Additionally, the Holy Liquid was looted from Pang Xize's safe, where there were also two B-grade Spirit Papers and one heavily encrypted specialized information Spirit Paper.
Mu Qingtong, as nimble as a tiger in her operations, easily decrypted the encrypted information, and extracted a piece of information that greatly interested Xia Feng.
For the past thirty years, the Lidong Army had been collecting Origin Water on White Emperor Island and secretly sending it to 'Area 41 Helian City·East Victory Fortress' to conduct an experiment known as the "Divine Warrior Project."
Xia Feng stroked his chin; he had thought there was only one drop of Origin Water, but there was actually so much more.
However, whether or not to seek out the Origin Water was not urgent; before that, he needed to find an opportunity to visit the Evil Dragon Space once more.
And ask about the function of Origin Water.
