Who could have known that the surging waves wouldn't strike Feng Yi himself, but instead, under the galloping wind, they scattered in all directions, forming a sky filled with water droplets that condensed into the extreme, unavoidable icy flowers and cold streams around Feng Yi.

The so-called interdependence of water and wood, this technique, Wind Flower Snow Moon, has no record in the Jade Clear Sect and was entirely the creation of Mengdie's own Yin-Yang Five Elements Technique, belonging to a full-scale attack skill.

For a moment, even Feng Yi's eyes were completely captivated by the stunning icy flowers' radiance... His body seemed to be in a fairy tale world of merging ice and snow, where he could see all the childhood days he yearned for.

However, Feng Yi also understood that the transient beauty was just as much the Reaper's Scythe that took one's life. His will would not linger for the beauty before him, nor would he lose his true self to the so-called Illusion Technique.

Mengdie's jade-like fingers trembled slightly, the light flowing at the tips of her parted fingers. In a flash, she made a 'close' hand gesture, hissing sounds filling the air... The falling icy flowers seemed to pierce through Feng Yi's body with thousands of ice spines in an instant, while the swirling wind was as sharp as daggers.

Her attack actually broke through the storm defense; Feng Yi was in danger.

Yet, the moment of casting was often when one's vulnerabilities were exposed. Feng Yi allowed the Wind Flower Snow Moon to tear through his surroundings, ignoring them completely, his gaze fixated tightly around Mengdie.

His poor acting had deceived Mengdie. At this moment, Feng Yi was not in the least bit disheveled as before, but his eyes sparkled brilliantly. Compared to the wind-based Five Elements Technique, the Storm Stance was obviously far more ferocious. Right after Mengdie began her attack, Feng Yi also swept through the air at the same moment, the Storm Stance breaking through the icy flowers and directly overturning Mengdie's slender body.

He then stepped forward, breaking the ice beneath his feet. Where was Feng Yi staggering now? He was like a streak of black light, charging straight at her.

Mengdie just felt a strong gale whistling towards her, her spellcasting abruptly interrupted. She reflexively raised her bare hand in front of her body... Beneath the Storm Dawn, her frail constitution could hardly bear the sweeping wind. Her delicate figure, like willows in the breeze, swayed unstably and immediately stiffened in a backward arch as the storm swept over her...

When she opened her eyes again, Feng Yi's dagger was already silently positioned against her fair neck.

There was no denying the breath-taking beauty of Mengdie. From such a close distance, Feng Yi could empathize even more; she had a pure quality that made even an enemy unwilling to do her harm.

"The outcome has been decided, fighting isn't always about speed, huh? Speaking of which, this state I'm in right now is also thanks to you, isn't it?" Feng Yi looked down at his heart with a tone as if he already knew it was her doing.

Before Feng Yi's words, Mengdie made no response. She glanced down at the military knife positioned at her neck, then shifted her gaze away lightly, calmly turning her head aside, paying him no attention. Her cool demeanor showed neither joy nor sorrow, treating Feng Yi as if he were invisible.

Heh... to think that the little fan was actually... Her calm quality of outer softness and inner strength also seemed to embody a transcendental purity. Even Feng Yi felt... how to put it? If one had to describe it with a word, it would be speechless, I guess.

"Hah, quite the stubborn one," Feng Yi said, but his tone sounded more like an indescribable resignation, as though an older brother helplessly dealing with his little sister. He then sighed, a sigh that seemed to lift a great burden off him.

When his gaze returned to Mengdie, the calm voice was notably more solemn, "Your nature doesn't seem bad at all; I don't want to hurt you. So please, stop chasing after me."

Feng Yi did not force Mengdie to do anything and, having said his piece, he immediately put down the dagger, covering his chest that was somewhat aching with a slight frown, seeming in some pain; yet, his sharp gaze was still lucid, "So then, farewell."

Watching Feng Yi's retreating figure from a cold perspective, Mengdie remained silent, without any reaction, and certainly, she made no further moves against Feng Yi.

Only when the figure became smaller and fuzzier... did her thoughtful eyes reveal an unusual brightness, gazing involuntarily towards that direction for a moment.

Indeed, he was clearly aware of who was responsible for his condition, but he seemed utterly unconcerned, not making things difficult for her, and didn't bother her. This somewhat indescribable interaction involuntarily made Mengdie let out a deep breath and allowed her to faintly sense the real person behind the facade of the playful and smiling exterior of the Revenge Shadow Rider.

That was an unmistakable charisma that couldn't be concealed within his true self, natural yet not arrogant, like a refreshing breeze brushing one's face, invisible yet comforting and peaceful, along with a personal charm vastly different from others. At this moment, it appeared slightly dazzling, as if even the frigid ice and snow could melt away entirely, seemingly drawing in the desire to learn more about his stories.

Mengdie seemed slightly entranced, but it was only for a brief moment, as the three who had rushed over now appeared before and behind her.

Zhan Yu surveyed the surroundings and clearly noticed signs of a recent skirmish, turning to Mengdie to say, "He shouldn't be able to outpace you in terms of speed. Has he escaped?"

Mengdie lightly nodded her head with the gentleness of a feather...

Zhan Yu looked somewhat surprised but didn't continue, "This person is incredibly powerful; it's indeed a bit difficult for Elder Life-Taking Envoy to handle him alone."

Mingfei, on the other hand, scoffed upon hearing this sentence, "Had it not been for Zhan Yu's carelessness, allowing Mengdie to intervene, I suspect he wouldn't have escaped, right?"

Zhan Yu clenched his fists in frustration, "I will naturally seek forgiveness from the sect leader for my matters, but..."

"But what?"

"Nothing much, but isn't there a problem with Mingfei Sect Protector taking action first? The sect leader asked us to invite, not to attack," Zhan Yu remarked, clearly aware that Mingfei and the junior protector had been the first to engage, with both attacking simultaneously. Zhan Yu brought up only his actions, without mentioning the junior protector, an omission that imbued Mingfei with a sense of deep malice...

The junior protector was already accustomed to the grievances between these two and naturally did not bother to pay much attention to it.

Just then, one of the twelve elders, Zhui Hun, suddenly caught everyone's attention. This person's status was roughly equivalent to the Life-Taking Envoy's.

"Elder Zhui Hun, what brings you here?" asked the junior protector as she stepped forward.

Master Junior Protector, the sect leader asks that we show the hospitality of our hosts and simply invite General Feng Yi; there's no need for force," Zhui Hun said.

"Thank you, Elder Zhui Hun." The junior protector suggested that Zhui Hun go ahead; she understood.

However... if Master Wu Tian truly wished for this, he would have clarified it earlier. Why wait until now? Perhaps this supposed invitation is but an uncertain test of Feng Yi's strength. Yet, that's not right; it's said that the sect leader had already met this person before, so why attempt a test twice?

In her heart, she felt she might have the answer: Jade Clear Sect had some old scores to settle with this man, and now that Feng Yi had arrived at the Jade Clear Sect, could it be that Master Wu Tian still wanted to keep him...?

It's uncertain whether to keep Feng Yi or not, but the moment he left, his heart felt unpleasantly fluttery. He didn't wish to stay long; even if Mengdie didn't chase after him, he needed to leave this place as quickly as possible. Feng Yi hadn't associated Jade Clear Sect with this incident, as the last encounter was in Mardis and the time before in the Twin Stars system. Seeing them here today didn't stir any curiosity. At least for now, he didn't think much of it and pushed the matter to the side. He would think about it when he had time in the future.

Fortunately, less than 40 minutes later, Feng Yi had indeed left the Immortal Mountain. Right now, with the federal situation unclear and the status of the Flame Fleet unknown, establishing communication with John was the utmost priority.

The war in the Bermuda Star River continued at a deadlock. Ever since the Flame Legion had withdrawn from the northern front, the Normandy Fleet naturally became Saudi's main opponent. In this war, Amelia and Kexiao fought fiercely against each other.

Through consecutive interstellar battles and sieges, casualties began to accumulate on both sides. With the Normandy's advance speed continuously accelerating, Amelia suddenly realized that her advantage was growing at an increased pace. It felt as if the opposing commander had been changed, not only that, the overall deployment style had also completely altered.

The abilities of the opposing commander were undeniable. He not only had the capability but also presented an illusion, making one believe that the adversary was still Kexiao. This certain feeling nearly convinced Amelia that the person was not Kexiao.
