Chapter 301
In the Western Regions and the Northern Kingdom, people Outside the Circle reacted in various ways to this change and the Emanator aura of the messenger.
"..."
At this time, Feixiao himself was unaware of the impact of everything he did on others.
As day turned to night and the stars gathered, a dazzling meteor streaked towards her. Just before it hit the town, Feixiao raised her right hand toward the meteor.
To the astonishment of Xiao Wancheng and the others around her, she caught the dazzling shooting star that had fallen from the sky.
When the meteor's light faded, it turned out to be a Sky-Slaying Axe surrounded by the Divine Light of The Hunt.
"Spare me... spare my life!!"
Xiao Wancheng looked at the fox demon in front of him holding a divine axe and felt an instinctive fear. At this moment, Feixiao was filled with the radiance of the Hunt, just like a god who judged heaven and earth.
It is a great being that no human can resist.
Xiao Wancheng was completely unaware that he had wet himself in fear.
"You should be grateful, grateful that you are the first person in the world... to die as prey of the past."
Looking at the Daoist priest's disheveled state below, Feixiao felt no sympathy whatsoever. She knew that every single thing this guy had done was worthy of being executed by slow slicing.
Regardless of the evil deeds committed in the past, or the things that will be done in the future in the case of the Jinchenxi, an Outside the Circle being.
However, this guy is special, so Feixiao decided to use him to test his abilities. He is one of the true powers and authority of the Hunt Emanator Envoy.
"No, you can't kill me... I am the highest inspector of the Dao Alliance's Black Obsidian Inspectorate. If you kill me, you will offend the entire One Qi Dao Alliance, and there will be no place for you in this world."
Seeing that the fox demon in front of him was really going to kill him, Xiao Wancheng was terrified. Begging for mercy was useless, so he chose to threaten her.
Although he was the head of the Xiao Family, he did not have the top position of the alliance leader like the Wang Quan family of the Heaven and Earth Sword Sect or the Dongfang clan of the Divine Fire Manor.
But his identity is special!
The Xiao Family head is in charge of the Black Obsidian Inspectorate, which has the right to oversee the entire One Qi Dao Alliance.
"Let me go, as long as you let me go, I'll give you anything you want..."
Xiao Wancheng kept promising that he didn't want to die here. As long as he could survive, he didn't care if he had to live a humble life.
But he remembered this grudge!
The Xiao Family members are known for their vindictive nature; no matter what force offends them, they will find a way to retaliate.
Even the top families in the One Qi Dao Alliance wouldn't care.
Even against opponents he can't defeat, like the Wang Quan family or the fox demon before him, he can vent his frustrations on other related people.
He dared not directly attack the Wangquan family, but he could harm those affiliated forces close to them. If he couldn't deal with the fox demon before him, he could take revenge on other fox demons—it would be the same...
"From what I understand, your Xiao Family isn't very well-regarded within the One Qi Dao Alliance!"
"If I kill you, will the others in the One Qi Dao Alliance really avenge you?"
Upon hearing this, Feixiao let out a mocking laugh, a scathing remark.
Under Xiao Wan'echeng's leadership, the Xiao Family was like a mad dog in the One Qi Dao Alliance, biting anyone they set their sights on.
Few people have a good impression of this inspector.
He's just a troublemaker...
"I..."
"That's enough nonsense, you can die now."
Seeing that Xiao Wancheng was about to say something, Feixiao stopped wasting time with him and raised the divine axe that circled the Hunt Path, slashing down at him.
However, this attack was not an ordinary attack; it was an attack that transcended time and space.
Her goal wasn't simply to kill her, but also to understand the current body and the General Feixiao's control over the Hunt authority.
Although in the previous world, the girl Yun Li also obtained the power of the Hunt Emanator, there were some differences in the direction of her mastery of the rules of authority.
The bullets and arrows of the Hunt not only kill the current enemy, but also shoot down the target's past and future.
In the Honkai: Star Rail Universe, an armed archaeological school discovered iron pellets in the fossilized remains of various monsters.
Radiometric analysis confirmed that they were launched from an era before humanity existed, and that the targets were the last survivors of a certain monster race.
In other words, the power of the Hunt God can even influence the distant past before the Aeon of the Hunt was born, and then kill the last offspring of the major factions at that time.
Just as a single bullet fired by a Sea-Patrolling Ranger can be seen by Sea-Patrolling Ranger in different times and spaces, that bullet is because it possesses the ability to the Hunt and influence causal time and space.
In that instant, it could be seen by all the Sea-Patrolling Ranger from different timelines.
And this is the romance of the Hunt and revenge.
'We received an invitation from a colleague, an invitation that leads to oppression and darkness, and to a colleague's unfulfilled belief, which he fought to the death for. We will go forth without hesitation to complete it, even at the cost of our own lives, to bring dawn from the eternal night!'
The bullets of the Sea-Patrolling Ranger are spiral warheads that forever travel in the opposite direction to the arrow of time, like a hound forever chasing an immortal thing that defies time.
However, for the Sea-Patrolling Ranger, bullets with the Hunt capabilities are still extremely precious.
Otherwise, there would be no such record.
It was once the embers of a Great Extinction Lord, once the button to wipe out a civilization, once the final lament of an ancient beast... How many dead materials must have been gathered to forge such a bullet?
What kind of firearm could have shot it into the past?
It is the answer to everything; it is not the problem.
Feixiao is different from these Sea-Patrolling Ranger; she is the Emanator of the Hunt and the heavenly general of the Emperor's Bow. In her destiny of the Hunt, she has gone much further.
Their mastery of the power of the Hunt is naturally much deeper.
With this kind of power, she doesn't need to be like those Sea-Patrolling Ranger...
The moment the divine axe struck, Feixiao's blade wasn't aimed at Xiao Wancheng before him, but rather at someone from several years ago, during the Yang family's grand wedding...
Feixiao didn't want to completely erase his past, but rather to lock onto a specific point in his past timeline.
This is more difficult than completely erasing his past...
The reason she did this was to see if she could change the course of history at a crucial point in time by eliminating the past of an important target.
If this were in the Star Rail Universe, it would naturally be difficult to accomplish. But Feixiao is now in another world. There are no Aeon here, and even the strongest among them are not as powerful as her.
The Yang family wedding was a significant turning point in Xiao Wancheng's past.
As Feixiao's divine axe fell, she seemed to travel through time through the power of the Hunt, and before her eyes were scenes and moments from Xiao Wancheng's past.
Then, until the anchor point reached her target time...
On the day of the Yang family's wedding banquet, the room was filled with distinguished guests, all of whom were from prominent families or were highly respected figures in the Dao Alliance. It could be said that almost all the prominent figures in the One Qi Dao Alliance were present.
After all, although the Heavenly Eye family of Tianyan is not as powerful as the Wangquan family or the Dongfang Family, it is still one of the oldest and most prestigious families in the Dao Alliance.
The Yang family's Heavenly Eye is unparalleled in the world.
Regardless of their power, they will all give them some face, barring any unforeseen circumstances...
But just as the festive music and celebrations were reaching their climax, a large group of people disregarded the Yang family's reputation and forced their way in.
These people were wearing uniforms, black robes, purple clothes, and golden swords... that was the symbol of the One Qi Dao Alliance and the Black Obsidian Inspectorate.
The person in charge was none other than Xiao Wancheng from the Xiao Family.
Xiao Wancheng immediately began by advocating for the greater good of humanity, using his moral high ground to pressure the Yang family. After a long and rambling speech, Xiao Wancheng's voice suddenly became incredibly sharp and piercing.
"And today, right here, someone is actually colluding with a monster."
Without giving anyone time to think, Xiao Wancheng pointed at the groom and announced loudly, "The traitor who colluded with the monster is Yang's son-in-law, Muren Zhi!"
Then, after a heated argument with the Yang Family Patriarch, Xiao Wancheng chose to arrest the person directly.
With a command from Xiao Wancheng, his eldest son led a group of inspectors and charged toward the Yang family's high platform, completely disregarding the Yang family.
However, no one here dared to offend the Xiao Family, so they all kept their distance, fearing they would be caught in the crossfire. Only the young Wangquan Baye, along with his good brother Yang Yitan, rushed out.
However, when confronted by Xiao Wancheng, Muren Zhi to his name, directly admitted that he had contact with demons and had received gifts from them.
The bride, Yang Yan, is devastated, and the Yang family can no longer stop it...
Just as Xiao Wancheng's men grabbed the Muren Zhi and were about to leave, a divine axe suddenly appeared above Xiao Wancheng's head and, to his utter horror, cleaved him in two.
This scene also startled the others around, but no one saw who did it. Only Wangquan Baye, Wang Quan Zui, Yang Yitan, and the bride Yang Yan seemed to have their vision travel through time and space, seeing Feixiao a few years in the future.
Feixiao was slightly taken aback when he noticed the gazes of these people.
He smiled at them and then disappeared.
She was curious about the consequences of killing Xiao Wancheng during this period of time.
Without Xiao Wancheng, will Yang Yan and her son remain in the same situation as before? Or will they be separated into a different branch in the river of time?
However, Feixiao is certain of one thing: she can indeed kill her target from any point in the past.
Back to real time.
Heaven and Earth Sword, the royal family's power.
At this time, the Wangquan family was no longer the undisputed leader of the One Qi Dao Alliance. The previous generation of the Wangquan family head had grown old.
Moreover, for some reason, the royal family declined for a long time, but now the situation is much better.
This is because the Wang Quan family has produced a genius in this generation, Wangquan Baye. Moreover, he has already become the leader of the younger generation of the Dao Alliance.
At this moment, Wangquan Baye Ye was gathered with Yang Yitan and several other top family members of the Dao Alliance to discuss recent matters.
"It's been years, has any of you managed to find out about that fox spirit girl?"
Wangquan Baye looked at the portrait on the table and asked the others a question.
The person in the portrait is Feixiao.
When Xiao Wancheng died tragically at the Yang family's wedding, Feixiao's appearance greatly shocked him and Yang Yitan. However, they later discovered that the only people who saw Feixiao were the three of them and Yang Yitan's aunt Yang Yan.
As they grow older, they become increasingly curious about the unknown aspects of the world and discover that the world is far more complex than people say.
So the leaders of their younger generation came together and formed an organization called "The Mask".
One purpose was to investigate the truth of this world, and the other was to find the Feixiao they had seen back then.
"I went to Tushan, but I couldn't find out any news about him."
Yang Yitan shook his head. He was still very grateful to this fox spirit girl. If it weren't for her... his aunt might have faced even greater difficulties.
Therefore, he even went to Tushan in person.
It's important to understand that during this period, humans and Demon Race were at odds, and their relationship was far from friendly.
Especially considering that he was also a Daoist priest...

Chapter 6: Patrol and Hunt, Reclaiming Lost Territory.
"Still nothing? I knew it..."
Hearing Yang Yitan's answer, Wangquan Baye was not too surprised.
This fox spirit girl is probably similar to that Third Young Master; finding her won't be easy.
But if we can find her, then many things will be resolved.
Wangquan Baye recalled what he had seen at the Blue Sky Convention years ago—the truth about this world.
The Dao Alliance holds a Blue Sky Convention every thirty-six years, one of the activities of which is to watch the "Dao Alliance Secret Transmission". Different people see different things, and some see nothing at all, which is equivalent to a talent test.
Although the "Dao Alliance Secret Transmission" is just an unremarkable stone, it is impervious to water and fire, and cannot be destroyed by swords or spears.
Some people can see magical things: images, words, or feedback that greatly improves their abilities.
Those who can see these are basically the best among the Daoist sects.
Over the years, based on some scattered information, the Dao Alliance gradually learned that this thing was Aolai Sanshao Master of Aolai, and that the ditch on the border was built to protect them...
However, they chose to keep this information secret, preventing outsiders and the younger generation from knowing about it.
Compared to the geniuses of the Dao Alliance throughout the ages, the prodigies of the current generation of Wangquan Baye are even more astonishingly talented, and they have all seen something different in this stone.
Whether it was Wangquan Baye, Dongfang Huaizhu, Qin Lan, Yang Yitan, Li Quzhuo, or other geniuses, they all directly witnessed the existence of the Third Young Master of Aolai Country.
