Mengdie remained neutral on the elder's question and was very clear-cut; it wasn't strange that they couldn't defeat Feng Yi, they had fought before during the era of the Galactic Warfare.
Although they had the upper hand in chasing Feng Yi the last time, it was under the condition of the Curse Seal's outbreak. However, today was different, the effect of the Curse Seal has significantly reduced. This was why Feng Yi was able to fight against the Faceless King for nearly 30 seconds today.
The effects of the Curse Seal were becoming weaker. It would be very difficult to get close to Feng Yi now, but Jade Clear Sect had other methods. Its clear Feng Yi didn't realize the substantial burden enforced state-raising would place on his body.
Thus, the challenge against the Ancient Martial Arts faction hastily ended. Feng Yi's strength greatly shocked everyone. It was simply suicidal to fight such a person.
Later, after asking twice if anyone else wanted to challenge him and receiving no response, Feng Yi hummed a tune and returned to the Zeus Shield...
When the media finished broadcasting this, the outside world was in an uproar. The question of how strong the Federation's Special Forces was suddenly became the focal point of the public. The leaders of the Federation soon received this message. They found it very surprising that Feng Yi, who was currently in Mardis, was challenging the Ancient Martial Arts faction for seemingly no reason. His behavior was as illogical as a wealthy person suddenly deciding to beg on the streets.
Greedy Wolf hesitated, asking, "Angelina, what are you saying? Feng Yi, that kid Feng Yi, openly challenged the Ancient Martial Arts faction and has been seriously injured?"
"Yes, General. I just received this information from the Intelligence Department."
This was definitely not in Feng Yi's style, but Greedy Wolf didn't dwell on it. Although the situation was unusual enough to suggest danger, since it was Feng Yi, Greedy Wolf believed he must have had a reason for his actions.
In fact, Sky Shadow secretly guessed what Feng Yi was up to. Considering his low profile, it was unlikely he was seeking attention for no reason. He ordered the butler to continue observing.
The butler complied and bowed out of the room...
However, at the actual location in Mardis, Feng Yi's seemingly unharmed movements didn't escape the eagle-eyed observers. Feng Yi was pushing himself. The harder he pushed, the worse his physical condition seemed to be.
Just as expected, as soon as he stepped into the spaceship, Feng Yi, who had been suppressing his condition, coughed up a mouthful of fresh blood. He had indeed taken a heavy blow from the Faceless King. His body had already been at its limit, hence why he was beaten so badly.
John entered Feng Yi's room directly by pushing away the soldiers along the way. He pulled out a strong antidote that he had prepared in advance, and only after Feng Yi took it did he exasperate, "Those guys are clearly aiming for you, our commander. It would be better if I take a squad of Blade Warriors to capture them."
"Easier said than done. How are you going to catch them if they have light teleportation?"
"By using the Airspace Restriction Artifacts. I guess they have a good chance of interfering with light teleportation."
Not even the Blade Warriors would dare to say that, because they had never tried it. No one was willing to attempt it. First of all, light teleportation was so expensive that it wasn't cost-effective. Secondly, it was all about the money, and that bears repeating.
Feng Yi shook his head and said, "Stick to the original plan. It is not possible that only the Faceless King wants to take my life. If someone is able to invoke an organization of that level, I can't help but show interest. At least, I must figure out who is pulling the strings behind the scenes. According to the well-known saying, 'If you know yourself and your enemy, you can win a hundred battles'. Only by understanding the identity of your enemy can you understand why they are targeting you."
"But, Commander, given your heavy injuries…"
John seemed to have something to say but hesitated. Feng Yi's original plan was to maintain his usual routine. In other words, he didn't plan to assign more guards around him. However, the situation had changed. The appearance of the Faceless King has proven that Sadra's organization wanted to harm Feng Yi. The Ancient Martial Arts faction lives near the Crimson Flame Legion, and since this is a war-torn planet, officially speaking, since Feng Yi has publicly issued a challenge, he must ensure the safety of these people. As per the international convention, they must not be further than 1000 meters from the Crimson Flame Legion. If someone with harmful intentions towards Feng Yi infiltrates that group, it will be a disaster.
"I know my own injury. Just follow the original plan."
This was using himself as a bait. No matter what, John couldn't agree to this, "Commander, this is too dangerous."
"This is an order."
"Even if it's an order, I can't agree..."
"Go stay in the detention room."
"Fine, I'll go. I won't do this anyway."
Feng Yi was both moved and helpless at the same time. Surely it wouldn't hurt to add a few more sentinels.
The battlefield was in Mardis. The Crimson Flame Legion was the strongest force of the Federation on this planet. The problem was that Feng Yi, who's always victorious, was not currently in a good shape to take full advantage of the Biological Mecha. Once the enemy's super soldiers group appeared, even the Crimson Flames would find it difficult to resist. At this moment, many things were bothering him…
First: The Ancient Martial Art Factions were getting closer to him and he didn't know what their intentions were. Are they interested in his technological strength? It's uncertain. In this era where interest is held above all else, if there's anything more valued than interest, it has to be the Ancient Martial Arts skills. Could it be the Ancient Martial Arts insights that Lasso had left him? Regardless, he was in the open whilst the enemy lurked in the shadows. This issue couldn't be ignored forever.
Second: The real purpose of this public challenge was to draw out the Ancient Martial Art Factions. Although he didn't have much hope, Feng Yi was trying to get information about the hidden factions through some common Ancient Martial Art families. The result was not getting any information but instead drawing the attention of Sadra organization, which was feared by the world. Anyone capable of employing Sadra's organization is certainly someone to be afraid of. Who was trying to assassinate him? Were they targeting him, the Crimson Flame Legion, or was it for some other reason? Feng Yi wanted to use this method to figure out the identity of the enemy.
