Faced with this sudden turn of events, both the bounty hunters and Hinako Akuta were greatly surprised. Looking at the bounty hunters whose flesh was torn apart by the pressure, and the broken ropes, Hinako Akuta's gaze shifted to the Command Spell on her left hand.

The remaining bounty hunters hastily retreated, no longer caring about Bai Mo sabotaging their ropes. Standing before them was someone capable of tearing them to shreds at any moment, radiating murderous intent. Their immediate priority was to find a way to save their lives.

"I'm so sorry, sir! We really didn't know you were a bounty hunter. We don't want this woman anymore, we'll leave right away, right away!"

The fat man in the lead quickly begged for mercy. He was good at interpersonal relationships and knew when to be arrogant and when to back down. He was the leader of these people and could organize six people well.

But standing behind Hinako Akuta, the bounty hunter, whose eyes were filled with lust, suddenly glared at her, grabbed Hinako Akuta singed half-hair, and simultaneously stepped onto his flying vehicle. The tail of the vehicle erupted in flames, carrying him away as a shooting star.

"Damn it, Skinny Monkey, what are you doing?"

"What are you doing? We finally caught a big fish, and you want to let it get away like this? So what if it has 500,000 horsepower? Look at my modified super jet engine. 500,000 horsepower is only fit to eat my exhaust fumes!"

A bunch of useless cowards! What kind of bounty hunters are they if they can't even fight? I'll keep all the bounty for myself!

"Damn it, when did this guy secretly modify it?"

"Damn it, doing this behind our backs? I bet this guy's just looking for a chance to take it all for himself!"

The remaining few cursed inwardly, but were also somewhat envious. Such explosive speed greatly increased their chances of escaping from the powerful figure before them. They were already used to rampage and naturally wouldn't spend money on modifications in this area.

Moreover, this move undoubtedly went too far. In their eyes, Bai Mo was also a bounty hunter from the Blue Country, and the capture of his prey signified a complete breakdown in relations.

"Damn it, let's split up and run. I don't believe he can kill us all!"

Those around them, under immense pressure, clung desperately to the aircraft and sped off in all directions.

Skinny Monkey's aircraft instantly broke the sound barrier, soaring into the sky. Seeing that the Bai Mo below were no longer visible, Skinny Monkey laughed heartily. This feeling of escaping death was just too exhilarating!

But the next moment, he felt a sweet taste in his throat and sensed something was wrong. He tried to raise his hand, but couldn't feel it at all. He watched as a headless corpse, carrying the flying machine and Hinako Akuta, continued to fly, while he...?

The only thing he could feel was the large, cold hand on the back of his head.

"Don't rush, none of you will be leaving."

Bai Mo said coldly, glancing up at Hinako Akuta, who was clinging to the aircraft, and said:

"Don't move, this thing requires strength to..."

Before she could finish speaking, Hinako Akuta accidentally pressed a button, and the aircraft carried her straight down, albeit vertically. With a loud bang, a cloud of smoke rose from the forest.

"Is he dead?"

"It's alright, you can be resurrected even if you die," Arcueid said in the control room. Upon hearing this, Bai Mo's lips twitched, and then he created a layer of frost to prevent forest fires.

This woman is like a ticking time bomb; let's leave her alone for now and let her calm down.

Completely disregarding the remaining six who had escaped, Bai Mo sensed that some of them had already run hundreds of miles away, but they were still within his grasp. Bai Mo's figure vanished instantly, and the other five were decapitated just like the Skinny Monkey in a flash.

Meanwhile, Saber, who was on the other side of the hill, heard his voice.

"Your Master has crashed again. There's thick smoke coming from the area. Go there quickly."

Saber was somewhat surprised when he heard the voice, although he had some suspicions about it since Bai Mo had untied Hinako Akuta's ropes first.

But he was, after all, Servant, and the specific decisions had to be made by his Master; this was his sense of loyalty. However, he did not leave immediately, but instead turned around and clasped his hands in a fist salute to Ritsuka and the others.

"Thank you for sparing my life."

He then departed in spirit form. Ritsuka and the others did not stop him, after all, judging from the current situation, whether it was the relationship between the Crypter and Chaldea, or between the Great Qin and the Blue Country, they and Hinako Akuta should not be enemies.

She should be able to figure these things out quickly if she goes back and thinks about them.

Deep within the mountains, in an inconspicuous haystack, the fat bounty hunter huddled, trembling. He hadn't run far; his location was just below Ritsuka's mountain.

He knew very well that at the Anti-Gravity Realm, one was no longer bound by gravity, and flight consumed almost no energy. Run? Don't be ridiculous! Did this energy-limited aircraft really think it could outrun such a powerful figure?

He sprayed some powder, distorting the light to make himself more concealed. Now, this was the only trick he could pull; he kept praying, praying for everything he could.

Only half a minute had passed since everyone fled. He tried his best to hide, but the agonizing voice still rang out.

"This is the first time I've heard that people at Blue Dream Company worship gods? But what kind of god does someone like you worship?"

Bai Mo's voice came from all directions, and the biting cold soaked through his clothes and trousers. An invisible hand gripped his neck and slammed him back into the cave entrance.

"Ah, sir, that Skinny Monkey is new here, I don't know him at all..."

Before the fat man could utter his excuse, Bai Mo waved his hand, and six heads rolled out. They were the bounty hunters who had entered Qin with him. Upon seeing the heads, he was so frightened that he sat down on the ground.

Bai Mo had no intention of reading this guy's memories. This heartless and insane guy's memories were obviously rotten beyond repair, disgusting to look at.

I asked, "Tell me, who is the ruler of the Blue Country? Do you know Qin Hong?"

"If I tell you, can I exchange my life for it?"

A flash of cold light severed his arm, blood gushing out. Without Bai Mo needing to ask again, the guy immediately spilled everything he knew like beans.

"Qin Hong knows that the second leader of the Blue Country seemed to have encountered a problem while practicing his martial arts and disappeared some time ago. As for the current ruler, he is still preparing for his inauguration ceremony, which has been going on for two months. We haven't seen him; everyone calls him the Son of Heaven, the Western Emperor, or something like that."

The person before him wasn't lying; Bai Mo could sense their emotions. He continued, "..."

"What is the distribution of power in the Blue Country? And where does someone like you fit within it?"

"I said..."

A cold glint flashed in Bai Mo's eyes, and the fat man swallowed his words, continuing:

"I don't know what's going on above, but I'm considered quite capable there. But just like First Emperor Ying Zheng back then, anyone with more than 750,000 horses who refused to surrender was killed."

I've never seen anyone I sought refuge with again; I figured they were all dead.

Have you ever seen or heard of Fantasy Tree?

"No, I've never heard of that before, but... now that you mention it, the Tower of Babel where the Blue Country's ruler resides does look somewhat like a large tree."
