Afterward, in her Phoenix State, she turned to look at everyone in the area whose eyes had already turned toward her.
"Shenzhou—Fu Hua!"
The moment those words fell, Welt let out a long sigh.
If he had still held onto a sliver of hope before, now that he had received a definite answer, he gave up resisting.
Whatever happened, happened.
All things considered, it was fortunate that it was this Shenzhou immortal. If it had been that person...
The image of a certain old schemer surfaced in Welt's mind.
Welt would definitely knead a black hole into existence and throw it over, then immediately flee with March 7th and the others.
If that person were here, everyone on their side might well be one of his chess pieces. They would have to run first and discuss what came next afterward.
So, fortunately, it was this one from Shenzhou.
"Shenzhou... Fu Hua?!"
Yanqing murmured, his longsword still pointed at Liuge.
"I don't know who you are, but the Cloud Knights are pursuing a wanted criminal. Please do not interfere! Otherwise..."
"Otherwise what?"
Liuge looked at Yanqing with great interest.
"Then we'll arrest you too!"
The instant he spoke, Yanqing's expression became incomparably serious.
Yet he seemed not to notice that the corners of both Dan Heng's and A Blade's mouths had lifted slightly.
"Is that so?"
Liuge slowly took a few steps forward, an ancient bronze-colored sword appearing in her hand.
It was none other than the Xuanyuan Sword!
"Hm?"
Yanqing froze. Looking at the longsword in Liuge's hand, a trace of surprise appeared in his eyes.
Outside of necessary Cloud Knight duties, Yanqing loved longswords. Every month, he spent all his allowance buying them, and more than once, when he lacked money, he had even borrowed advances from Jing Yuan.
