Hasten Ressenbor had had enough of Sara. If he had held some reservations about her before, Sara's repeated provocations and non-cooperation had now instilled a murderous intent in Hasten Ressenbor. Plus, with Sky Shadow laying his cards out on the table, there was no reason to let this foolish woman continue living in this world.
Sara lay in a pool of blood, and Sky Shadow didn't furrow his brow in the slightest, "Let's go."
Thus, led by Sky Shadow, Hasten Ressenbor quickly disappeared in the opposite direction of the Time-Space Transfer Device...
Looking at Sara who lay on the ground, Zhang Xiaobo's eyes were full of disbelief. Stepping forward, he had no idea what to do. He suddenly realized how fragile life is; that any words of comfort seemed pale and powerless in the face of death. Aside from taking off his jacket and draping it over Sara, trying to fend off some of the cold for her, there was nothing he could do.
"Hey, are you okay..."
Sara's eyes, hazy as if covered in mist, opened slightly. She tried to speak, but no sound came out.
The expressions on the faces of the seven Cantelu warriors standing to the side were quite something...
"Lucky bastards, to actually receive the favor of Lord Hasten Ressenbor."
"Isn't that so, hey, fatty over there, you're not starting to pity this woman who's on the brink of death, are you? I think it's better if you worry about yourself."
Hearing these words, Zhang Xiaobo glared furiously. How much he wished to save her. Although he had not spent much time with Sara, Zhang Xiaobo believed that Sara was not a bad person, and she had even helped him in an intangible way. But now he was helpless, only able to watch Sara inching closer to death.
Feeling bursts of cold wind howling, Zhang Xiaobo had never before felt as helpless as he did today. Overwhelmed by some unknown emotion, he suddenly felt inexplicably saddened.
"Hmph, I guess the fatty just drools over this woman's body, despicable."
The seven who relished in others' misfortune muttered among themselves while mocking coldly.
Meanwhile, inside the Time-Space Transfer Device, with the electronic door splitting apart, Blade Warrior almost shed burning hot tears—she had finally waited for Roland.
At the moment of their reunion, Blade Warrior almost lunged, clutching Roland's shoulders fiercely with both hands, "Hey, what took you so long to return, huh?"
"Some matters held me up, you seem to be in a bad mood," Roland said.
"Big trouble. We must hurry to save someone."
Roland's heart skipped a beat. Although she didn't know who Blade Warrior meant by someone to save, she was well aware of the strength of Kexiao, Sky Shadow, and even Mengdie. But now, coming back to hear Blade Warrior saying they needed to rescue someone, Roland couldn't help but tense up inside.
"What happened?"
"Kexiao is dead, the others' fates are unknown, let's talk while we move." So, Blade Warrior rushed down from the Time-Space Transfer Device, explaining to Roland along the way that if they couldn't wait for someone, she had even considered temporarily fleeing for her life, for she was not so foolish to face a certain death when ahead and still attempt to risk everything to save her comrades—it wasn't courage but foolishness.
Clack!
Blade Warrior's steps abruptly halted, and suddenly, a familiar silhouette came into view—a figure silently leaning against the side of the Transfer Device, blowing in the chilling wind. Blade Warrior's heart seemed to be deeply touched; tears, which she could no longer hold back, began welling up in her eyes.
The man who had been through life and death with her and who had always been tolerant of her—the best friend—had just appeared so unexpectedly before her. Through the dim light of dawn, Blade Warrior could faintly see Feng Yi's determined side profile and his eyes deep like the cosmos, sparkling like the starry sky.
Feng Yi... Is it really Feng Yi?
"Hey, stop being lovesick, we have people to save."
At this moment, Roland quickly prompted Blade Warrior to lead the way. Now was not the time for reminiscing, especially since he was not the man she knew.
Roland then repeatedly said to Feng Yi, "We have some emergencies here, and I hope you can join us."

At the same time, Hasten Ressenbor had already followed Sky Shadow to a considerable distance. As he looked at the vast expanse of the snowy plains, Hasten Ressenbor could assert that there was unlikely any kind of aircraft within a 15-kilometer radius. He asked Sky Shadow with some suspicion, "Aren't we there yet?"
"It's close."
"I didn't see any aircraft within the area."
"We'll see one after crossing the mountain ahead. Before that, I need to confirm my companions' safety..." As Sky Shadow spoke, he immediately took out a communicator, dialing through.
Hasten Ressenbor did not stop him, only to hear Sky Shadow blast out with an undeniable tone of command, "Hasten Ressenbor has been led away by me; you must leave here immediately as I've instructed, quick!" Sky Shadow roared.
"Bastard!? You dare to deceive me?" If Hasten Ressenbor couldn't guess Sky Shadow's intentions now, then he might as well be dead.
But he couldn't understand why this person needed to go to such lengths to lead him away.
Even with a hundred brains, Hasten Ressenbor couldn't have imagined that Sky Shadow was considering preserving Mengdie's safety. In his descriptions to Hasten Ressenbor, there was never mention that Feng Yi possessed the ability to combat 'Bizarre'. That meant that the life force within Mengdie also had the potential of Feng Yi. Hence, under no circumstances would Sky Shadow reveal this secret, placing Mengdie's situation in jeopardy.
Once Hasten Ressenbor was led away, given Mengdie's speed, there was a high chance of escaping. After speaking, Sky Shadow decisively crushed the communication device, a victor's smile flashing across his face, "It's not deception. My only mission was to distract you."
