The disciple before had served as a warning; it had been proven how tragic the outcome would be for not responding, and her own fate might be even more miserable. After all, the man who seemed to be the captain had reiterated once more. This reiteration sounded like a mere repetition, but upon close analysis, one could not miss the veiled hints and warnings within his words. Arguing with this group of soldiers might cost someone their life, and so the woman dared not hide anything, saying, "All of us here are inner and outer disciples, we haven't seen the sect master or the elders."

It seemed that the upper echelon of the Jade Clear Sect wasn't on this shuttle, so the captain ordered his soldiers to temporarily control the crowd, before taking out his communicator to coordinate with the other pursuing cutters in searching the remaining shuttles...

Plenty of outer disciples were regretting their guts, had they known the Yanhuang Soul troops were this ruthless, they would not have dared to board this shuttle even if they were lent several doses of courage. Far from standing up and showing their support for their sect, it was like they had been sent to their deaths, standing with these soldiers who wouldn't blink before killing, under the cold muzzles of the guns, never knowing when one might just fire at a whim. Everyone felt a strong sense of unease brought about by this bloodthirsty troop, and restlessness was stirring within each heart.

In the second echelon of the pursuit fleet, John and his people were monitoring the escaping civilian shuttles within the vast carrier, and upon receiving news to stop, the fleet sped towards the target direction. It was at this moment that Hugo's Sky Network communicator suddenly rang out for attention.

To think it would be Blade Warrior. This woman rarely contacted him, and filled with various suspicions, Hugo casually answered the incoming call, "Miss Blade Warrior, long time no see."

Hugo's voice, although calm, suggested that his mood wasn't very good, as could be seen from his sullen expression—Blade Warrior tried her best to look much more solemn, saying, " Mr. Hugo, let me get straight to the point."

"Mm, what's up?"

"I've just received news about the Yanhuang Soul's pursuit of the Jade Clear Sect. There's a lot you don't understand about the true circumstances of Feng Yi's death."

"What did you say!?"

Hugo's expression abruptly changed upon hearing this, as did John Apophis's ears, which perked up at the same time.

"Feng Yi has had a hidden disease for a very long time. His death does indeed have a great deal to do with the Jade Clear Sect, but..."

"But what."

"But Feng Yi was not killed by the Jade Clear Sect. He had always asked me to keep his hidden disease a secret. In the past, I had tried many methods to cure him and even advised him to stop fighting and live as a normal person to maintain his health. However, Feng Yi did not listen and persisted with his principles until the end of his life. He had no regrets in the final stage of his life, perhaps some, but it was all his own choice and had nothing to do with the Jade Clear Sect."

Hugo had little doubt about what Blade Warrior had to say, but facts were facts. The scene of Feng Yi's death at the hands of a Jade Clear Sect protector was clearly witnessed by Xiu Yi's team and their dog. Wasn't that compelling evidence? Hugo did not shy away from directly raising this question to Blade Warrior.

During that time, indeed, he had established a certain friendship with Blade Warrior. Even Feng Yi's camaraderie with Blade Warrior ran deeper than that of his own, but Hugo still couldn't comprehend her words.

Blade Warrior briefly recounted the true situation at that time to Hugo, about the unpredictable weather and snowfall on Satellite 8. She explained how Xiu Yi and the others could be so sure that Feng Yi was killed by Mingfei Mengdie. His physical condition had already been deteriorating; she had repeatedly emphasized that the Yanhuang Soul could now contact Xiu Yi's team to inquire about the real situation from back then. Was it a case of them actually witnessing Mengdie killing Feng Yi, or was it a mixture of sight and conjecture?

As for Feng Yi's Space Crystal, the question remained whether it was gifted to her by Feng Yi or whether Mengdie used charm or other methods to forcibly take it from Feng Yi. The assault on the Jade Clear Sect was not just simple revenge but could lead to a new war between the United Federation and Zana. This was precisely what Feng Yi had least wanted to see, so he always concealed his illness to avoid leaving any regrets.

As for the entanglements between Feng Yi and the Jade Clear Sect, although it wasn't a friendly tie, he indeed had an extraordinary relationship with Mengdie, even personally bestowing her with the martial techniques. For those who did not trust her words could even go to Yanhuang Soul and other hidden sects that participated in that competition for the chief for an investigation. The Yanhuang Soul was being too hasty, blinded by vengeance, Xiu Yi included, perhaps out of excessive care for Feng Yi.

But why had the Federation not taken any further action? As a national hero, Feng Yi's special status had already transcended interests or losses. If his true cause of death were confirmed, the Federation would have declared war on Zana without considering the consequences. It was precisely because the higher-ups were aware of potential complex unknowns behind the incident that the Federation did not proceed.

As for the message Feng Yi sent out before his death, claiming he would retire to a simple life and appointing John to lead the troops, wasn't it because he had foreseen his limited time and thus chose to settle his affairs in such a manner? If the Yanhuang Soul continued this course of killing, they would not only be recklessly killing innocent people but also betraying Feng Yi's hopes. The Jade Clear Sect had indeed tried in various ways to rid Feng Yi of his illness, but ultimately, they were unsuccessful.
