The short, stout Moon Class expert Kohler, froze at that moment. He felt as if his bones and blood had been frozen by a force that spread from the depths of his heart, as if any movement would cause ice crystals to fall from his body. He trembled so much that he could not even speak properly.
"Are you trying to ask why I just left?" A flash of golden light appeared in the shadows, and Sun Fei appeared with a grin by the lake.
The short, stout Moon Class powerhouse Kohler, nodded subconsciously.
"Since you've asked so sincerely, then I'll mercifully tell you. Actually, I had no intention of leaving. I just went to relieve myself some distance away. I returned before you even set off fireworks to call for help. Not bad, you not only have a cunning look, but you're also quite treacherous. You absolutely fit the role of a minor villain in bards' stories. You have a bright future. If you had been dealing with someone else this time, I might have really let it go."
Sun Fei approached step by step.
At this moment, the five or six young Moon Class experts who arrived later, dressed in black standard tight-fitting armor, also realized that something was wrong. The young man who had been supporting the short, fat Kohler had a fierce glint in his eyes. He let out a low growl, raised his hand, and with a flash of light, charged towards Sun Fei.
Sun Fei slowly stretched out his hand and gently brushed it away.
The young man collapsed limply to the ground.
A mere Early-Tier New Moon Class expert—a powerhouse of this caliber would be an invincible God of War in the eyes of ordinary martial artists, but in Sun Fei's eyes now, he was no different from a newly hatched chick.
However, Sun Fei did not kill them; he merely subdued them. He still needed to extract some information from them.
"Quick, kill those Moon Class experts, don't worry about King of Chambord..." The short, fat Moon Class expert, Kohler, finally snapped out of his shock, shuddered, and roared furiously. In the instant he spoke, he charged towards Sun Fei fearlessly, trying to stop Sun Fei and buy some time.
Sun Fei hadn't expected this sleazy fat man to be so fierce, but his expression remained unchanged. The difference in strength between the two sides was too great, so even if he was fierce, it would be useless. Sun Fei stopped wasting time and flicked his fingers repeatedly. Golden sword energy shot out from his fingers and instantly entered the bodies of Kohler and his accomplices.
Clang! Clang!
Seven or eight Moon Class experts all fell to the ground.
Sun Fei retaliated with a flick of his wrist, unleashing a burst of golden, swirling flames that swept the short, stout Kohler into the air. He gripped Kohler's chubby forehead with his hand, ignoring his roars, and unleashed a torrent of Spiritual Power that surged into Kohler's mind, relentlessly searching for his memories.
This was the first time Sun Fei had used his Spiritual Power technique on a human. The matter was of utmost importance, and Sun Fei didn't have time to slowly interrogate him to find out the truth. Moreover, the fat man was extremely vicious, and he deserved to suffer such a fate.
A few minutes later, Sun Fei released his hand.
Snap!
The short, stout Moon Class expert Kohler, lay on the ground, barely breathing, like a limp Shar-Pei dog, his strength completely crippled.
Sun Fei let out a soft sigh of relief, glanced at the group of still-shaken Moon Class experts, and said with a grin, "Now, even a bunch of idiots should understand something, right? Do I need to say anything more?"
The Moon Class experts all lowered their heads in shame.
The imposing, purple-robed elder, a highly respected figure among the crowd, stood up, bowed to Sun Fei, and said with shame and sincerity, "We truly never imagined that we would make such a grave mistake, mistaking Kohler, that hungry wolf, for a friend. We almost perished in the wilderness. We must thank King of Chambord for saving our lives."
"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty King of Chambord."
"Now I believe that His Majesty is not the scum of the Human Clan who colluded with the Sea Clan as rumored."
"I wonder what answers His Majesty obtained from the interrogation just now? Who ordered these people? Why did they do this?"
"Your Majesty's kindness is deeply appreciated. May I ask how Your Majesty plans to deal with these prisoners?"
The group struggled to their feet, their faces filled with deep shame. Still shaken, they thanked Sun Fei profusely. Had Sun Fei arrived even Banbu later, they would all likely have perished in this desolate wilderness. Having narrowly escaped death, they finally calmed down.
Sun Fei took out a handkerchief to wipe his palms and laughed, "These guys are yours to deal with. If you're curious and want to know the answers, feel free to interrogate them. Perhaps what they say will be more believable than what I told you. What I'm saying is, as long as you tell the major empires exactly what happened tonight, that will be enough to repay my life-saving grace."
After Sun Fei finished speaking, he made a grabbing motion in the air with his right hand.
Golden streams of light detached from the crowd and disappeared into his palm.
The Moon Class experts immediately felt a sense of lightness throughout their bodies. The seal on the alien power disappeared, and the long-lost power returned to their bodies. This familiar feeling of power finally gave them a sliver of security.
When he looked up to express his gratitude, he found that King of Chambord and Lloris had already disappeared.
A night breeze blew by, and the air was cold.
The group regained their senses. They looked at each other, and each saw the lingering fear and shock in the other's eyes.
They were all extremely passionate and righteous individuals; otherwise, they wouldn't have been easily swayed into forming a group to hunt down Sun Fei. However, they never expected such a thing to happen. They felt guilty towards King of Chambord and furious towards the short, stout Moon Class expert and the others. After their strength was restored, a few of the more hot-tempered ones began to torture the black-clad, tight-fitting armored experts who had been subdued by Sun Fei, trying to find out the truth.
Suddenly, a series of agonizing screams erupted from the tranquil lakeside.
Under the moonlight.
Sun Fei and Lloris flew rapidly through the air, approaching the capital of the Lyon Empire.
"How did you know that would happen?" Lloris, a little curious.
"I guessed," Sun Fei said honestly.
"Sometimes, your intuition is even more accurate than a woman's."
Lloris was deeply moved. Reflecting on his experiences around Sun Fei, he felt that King of Chambord's judgment was so accurate most of the time that it was astonishing, almost like he could predict the future. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, no one would have believed it.
"Can I take that as a compliment?" Sun Fei simply Summon the [ Throne of Chaotic Times ], placed Lloris on the throne, and increased his speed, moving forward at the fastest possible pace.
"Huh? Why do you suddenly seem to be in such a hurry to get to the capital? Did you discover something?" Lloris Earth Inquiry.
"No."
Lloris: "..."
"However, didn't you say my sixth sense is very accurate? It just told me that if we reach Gerland within two days, we can find the mysterious person who planted the Blood-Colored Skull inside you."
"Really? What are you going to do after you find him?"
"Let's see if he's really the guy I suspected."
What if that's the case?
"That's obvious. The best outcome, of course, is to find a way to kill him."
Lloris: "..."
After a pause, Lloris asked again, "What if it isn't?"
"If not... then I should still kill him." Sun Fei thought for a moment and answered seriously.
"Pfft..." Lloris couldn't help but spit it out.
Third update.
Thank you everyone for your support.
