Zhang Xiaobo noticed that Sky Shadow wasn't really planning to act, and quickly reassured Blade Warrior, "Hehe, I think that guy just talks for show, he doesn't really mean it. So don't overthink it; compared to these things, let's hurry and notify Jade Clear Sect."
"Damn it, that bastard is like this, and you're still speaking for him."
Zhang Xiaobo shrugged, "I'm not defending him, that's just the kind of person he is. He likes to show off verbally, but you've seen how he's changed over the years, right? Sky Shadow would even choose to stay behind for everyone's sake."
"Ah! Forget it." With Zhang Xiaobo's words, Blade Warrior let out a long sigh. No matter what, it was most important to broadcast the message for Jade Clear Sect to know about this matter. Thinking of this, she hastily set up the Star Domain Broadcast.
Soon after, Wu Tian received the news that someone actually wanted to kidnap his grandchildren. Not to mention him, even if the Blazing Flame Legion came, Wu Tian decided to fiercely counter, especially against just one person. Wu Tian clearly didn't take Sky Shadow seriously, so when replying to Blade Warrior's Heavenly Communication, he only reassured Blade Warrior, telling her to rest easy.
Blade Warrior was speechless; she knew Sky Shadow's intelligence network was vast, and finding Jade Clear Sect was only a matter of time. But who knew Wu Tian would respond like this? Does he even understand how terrifying Sky Shadow's power is?
This matter can't be dwelled on; the more she thinks about it, the more anxious she becomes. With these thoughts, Blade Warrior sent a Heavenly Communication message to Mengdie, but Mengdie evidently didn't have the habit of using her phone regularly, so there was no response.
Next was Iman; as an AI, she was given to Mengdie as a personal servant. Iman was inseparable from the two children, and to contact Feng Luo and Feng Wu without disturbing Mengdie, Blade Warrior left a Heavenly Communication message for Iman last time at Jade Clear Sect, which turned out to be useful now.
At this moment, Iman was teaching the two children reading and drawing at the cloud-covered cliffs of Immortal Mountain. Given their young age, they couldn't attend school, but with Iman's knowledge base, there was no need to hire a tutor, saving a lot of trouble. Suddenly, Iman received a batch of Heavenly Communications.
She paused momentarily, silently pocketed the phone, and told Feng Wu and Feng Luo to manage themselves, saying she'd be away a while.
Despite being only three years old, big brother Feng Luo was already a considerate little man. Hearing Iman sister's advice, he seriously nodded and picked up his brush to continue drawing eggs in the sketchbook, round eggs...
On the other hand, sister Feng Wu was naturally mischievous and hyperactive. As soon as Iman turned to leave, her spirits revived, her previous dispirited appearance instantly vanished as she tossed the brush aside and began playing around.
Feng Luo had grown accustomed to Feng Wu's antics, paying no mind to his own drawing while she played.
Minutes later, the anxious Iman returned. Unable to reach Mengdie, out on a mission, she had no choice but to find Wu Tian and explain the message she received, highlighting that Sky Shadow was very, very strong.
Wu Tian laughed heartily, "Hahaha, I understand, you may go."
"But, Sect Master."
"No need to say more."
Gently stroking his beard, Wu Tian indicated he was aware of the matter, letting Iman leave without further reporting. He hadn't forgotten the encounters between Jade Clear Sect and Sky Shadow over the years; though powerful, that person was only at a protector's level. Even if two more came, what difference would it make?
As an AI, Iman's status was actually quite low, even lower than ordinary outer sect disciples. After all, she was an AI. When Iman tried to further discuss with Wu Tian, she was blocked by several inner sect disciples who told her to leave quickly.
Iman, finding herself unable to reach Mengdie or Wu Tian, ran into Mingfei on her way, "Mingfei Protector."
Mingfei paused, stabilized her mind, and looked at the remarkably attractive AI, curious, "It's Iman, isn't it? What's the matter?"
"Protector, it's like this."
Iman relayed the message she'd received to Mingfei — some person named Sky Shadow intended to come to Jade Clear Sect for the children, declaring his powerful acknowledgment. AIs also possess emotions, and because Iman had lived with Sky Shadow during Parallel Dimension crossings, she knew him to be very cold, at least outwardly like that, and very strong. So she wanted Mingfei to think of a solution.
"I already know about this matter, don't worry, go about your business."
"But... Mingfei Protector..."
Even as Iman tried to explain, Mingfei had already walked toward the back hall, blocking Iman's attempt to continue her explanation.
As a personal servant, Iman usually saw Wu Tian the most, besides knowing Mingfei, because of Mingfei's close connection with Mengdie. Yet, due to Mengdie's quiet nature, even Mingfei and others in Jade Clear Sect remained unaware of how terrifying Sky Shadow's power had become in recent years — these people seemingly still had impressions from several years back during the battle, before Sky Shadow changed bodies.
But Iman was different; she had traveled through Parallel Dimensions with Mengdie, Sky Shadow, Roland, Blade Warrior Zhang Xiaobo, and Kexiao, witnessed how terrifying Sky Shadow's power had become — incomparable now. This information was crucial, and although Feng Luo and Feng Wu were not her own children, AIs also contain emotions. Over three years, she'd watched them grow inch by inch, more intimately than Mengdie did. How could she let Sky Shadow take them away?
The more Iman thought, the more anxious she grew, yet besides worrying, she had no solution.
As a servant, Iman's activity range was essentially limited to North Mysterious Hall and the cliff of Immortal Mountain, with little interaction usually. She knew Wu Tian simply because he frequently visited the children; her acquaintance with Mingfei was due to Mingfei's relationship with Mengdie.
But how could these people understand Sky Shadow's strength? Anxiously pacing, Iman stomped eagerly, thinking to call Blade Warrior back via Heavenly Communication. But it wouldn't connect; Iman's received Heavenly Communications were passive since she didn't know how to set up the Star Domain Broadcast or possess the equipment.
Now, besides waiting for Blade Warrior's next communication, she had no better options.
Being an AI, she had to follow BO Rules; when Wu Tian told her to leave and Mingfei said not to pursue further, even if Iman wished to break the system-imposed barrier, it was futile.
At this moment, Iman stood still, electronic eyes silently emitting two faint beams, as she attempted again to break the BO's absolute command restriction...
Boom! In a virtual two-dimensional world, Iman was struck by an overwhelming force while trying to break through the defense barriers; in an instant, she was slammed by the BO System, nearly shattering her memory core, and her body collapsed simultaneously under the impact...
Fortunately, her memory core didn't fracture or refresh; otherwise, she'd become a unit reformatted by BO, losing her remaining consciousness, her past memories, every detail replaced by the BO System's refresh.
When that happens, she'd become a new individual adhering to system orders, potentially developing emotions gradually, or transforming into a purely mechanical entity. Either way, the Iman then would no longer be who she was now, forgetting everything about the journey through Parallel Dimensions with everyone.
Iman didn't experience true pain; such shocks at most affected her pain chips. Yet repeated intense shocks grounded her for several seconds, forcing her to stand again, seemingly attempting to defy BO restrictions once more. Amid a flash of insight, her memory surfaced thoughts of Feng Wu and Feng Luo.
