Feng Yi, too, gradually let his guard down over time, slowly sipping his drink in small sips. He was somewhat concerned about the conversation between Zhan Yu and the Little Guardian, but sadly, it was merely concern — he was an atheist and did not believe in the Six Paths, the Five Elements, and the cycle of fate.

By the time Feng Yi heightened his alertness again, several people had already stood up... The breeze kept the door curtain fluttering, and it was impossible for him not to feel tense. These people's senses were extraordinarily keen, well beyond those of ordinary individuals. Any slight slip could instantly evolve into a situation that would be extremely unfavorable for him.

Accompanied by two thuds, as the group was leaving, someone unexpectedly knocked on the outer door made of solid wood. In that instant, Feng Yi almost clenched his teeth, stamped his foot, and stood up ready to fight them with everything he had.

He was certain it was not Mengdie's doing. Mengdie wasn't that bored and probably too lazy to do such a thing. Zhan Yu seemed somewhat cold and indifferent and also unlikely to knock like that. Therefore, the problem could very likely involve the Little Guardian and Mingfei.

Could it be that he was seen through? The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became; yet, the more frightened he was, the more he thought about it. It was a coincidence? To hell with coincidence. Feng Yi wasn't sure what was going on, but he knew it was not wise to stay any longer. Initially, he naïvely thought his vigilance was not low, but after interacting with these people, he suddenly realized that surprises were everywhere.

Because one must guard not only against surveillance devices and threats from all sides including front, back, left, right, metal, wood, water, fire, sky, and earth, but also against threats from next door. It's truly remarkable he's managed to live this long in this world.

Now, with the four people having left one after another, their positions had somehow shifted to them being in the dark and him being exposed. If the little fan girl still had something trustworthy about her, he wouldn't bet his life on trusting the other three.

It seemed like he had no choice but to leave. Taking advantage of the absence of people around, Feng Yi slapped the money on the table and slipped out the back door in an instant. Indeed, success depends on human effort but is also governed by heaven — no matter how idealistic one's expectations are, they must withstand the test of reality.

As the old saying goes, plans cannot keep up with changes. This phrase makes a lot of sense. The appearance of the people from Jade Clear Sect forced Feng Yi to change his original plan hastily. As soon as the issue arose, the bachelor Feng Yi did not wait and hurriedly ran to the Chimera Spaceport to purchase a black-market ticket overnight, heading straight for the Yate Federation territory.

Due to Feng Yi's unique identity, to prevent exposure, he had no choice but to take a black-market ship, avoiding official scrutiny as much as possible and bypassing key inspection points.

The ship he took was an old model called White Pig, and arriving in the Federation was tantamount to cross-border smuggling. The price was much higher than the regular channels, and without the ability to perform space jumps through public star domains, he had to weave through the complex interstellar map.

Behe-3 lies to the north of Diya Alliance and to the left of Yate Federation, located near the southwestern glacier star river of Zana. It is one of the brightest constant stars in the sky. This region, renowned as a haven for martial artists, also hides a beautiful Earth-like planet named Chimera, symbolizing the true origins of ancient martial arts factions.

(Some readers have asked, how can directions like east, west, south, and north be determined in space? The Earth has the concept of north up and south down, right? Well, I think it's enough to measure the orientation of our star group from a human perspective. Let's not worry too much about the details.)

Just before boarding the shuttle, Feng Yi took a detailed look at the star domain map again. Since interstellar jumps were not possible, reaching the Federation required crossing through the Sky Worm domain, Behe-3, the Glacier Star River, and even the distant Caribbean star cluster to arrive at the Federation's closest Earth-like planet, Icebird.

It was going to be another long and tedious journey. After some deliberation, Feng Yi still considered life more important. He couldn't mix in Chimera, a place with a relatively backward economy, given his current physical condition.

Once aboard the shuttle, he had only three things to do each day: eating, drinking, relieving himself, and sleeping counted as one thing; listening to the nearby Star Domain Broadcast was another, and the rest was simply finding various ways to pass the time.

Up to this point, whether successful or not, Feng Yi had tried all the possible scenarios for the general trend of the war state he could simulate. Just these efforts had taken up two days, and to further analyze the whole situation based on such foundations would require close to two months, and even with the process of elimination, it would take at least half a month.

On the shuttle, you can't know the status of the front line. If you're lucky, you might receive news from a broadcast from a nearby star domain, but if you're unlucky, you can only fantasize.

Therefore, Feng Yi had no choice but to continuously simulate and deduce based on the intelligence he had before entering the shuttle. This was like many chess players playing the same game of chess at once. Not only did he have to consider his own next move, but also had to take the perspective of his opponent to defeat himself.

Feng Yi tried this masochistic method once and didn't want to attempt it a second time. As a result, he quickly abandoned some seemingly redundant plans and switched to a method of simplifying by rounding up or down, only to find that this too would take no less than half a month.

In half a month's time, he would have already arrived at his destination. After trying for a day, Feng Yi decisively gave up on this clumsy method and switched to playing games to pass the time.

Time flows like water, and the years pass swiftly. Ten days went by in a flash, and the moment Feng Yi stepped off the shuttle and set foot on solid ground again, he truly felt dizzy and light-headed.

To quickly adapt to the local environment, Feng Yi counted a series of back-and-forth high jumps and instantly appeared on top of a building, feeling the breeze against his face, his mood instantly uplifted.

The Federation, with its familiar scent, that unique fragrance of soil, and the accustomed television programs instantly overwhelmed Feng Yi with emotion. The Revenge Shadow Rider had returned!

However, at this moment, Feng Yi believed it was best not to disclose his identity and to keep a low profile, walking the steady path of a prudent man.

As a Special Envoy, Feng Yi had almost the highest privilege to the Sky Network of the Federation and could easily access any front-line battle reports. So, the first thing he did upon leaving was to start collecting battle reports from the Bermuda Star River and the Blazing Flame as soon as he turned on his chronometer.

On the rooftop of a university, a group of high-achieving students who were still eating lunch were completely stunned... You can't imagine how this masked, black-clad handsome man managed to jump up to this dozens of stories high building, effortlessly reaching the top with a series of climbs and leaps. Because the wind was strong nearby, he seemed not to notice the young people next door discussing fervently.

With a light swipe of his finger, a virtual projection image was instantly projected onto the ground from his wrist, and as the image kept enlarging... A medium-sized projection map, about 2 meters in length and width, appeared out of nowhere, displaying real battle reports from the front line...

He stood with his back to everyone, supporting his chin as if pondering over something. Then, as if he noticed something, his sharp gaze swept towards the crowd... Seeming somewhat surprised, he quickly shut off the projection, did not linger, and with one step leapt hundreds of meters away to a skyscraper, disappearing into the vast void...

Damn! What is all this? The numerous students couldn't believe their eyes. Were they seeing things... Yes, if one person said so, there might still be a chance of eye trickery—but when dozens of men and women having lunch around you are unanimously exclaiming, can it still be called a trick of the eye?

No, absolutely not, but sadly, at the time, no one had the chance to film it. Otherwise... it would have been cool. With this guy's strength, he must have reached at least the late stage of a Rank2 warrior, as rumored. Besides, no one else could achieve this feat.

Feng Yi himself was startled into a cold sweat, nearly twisting his old waist. He was too concerned about the Federation's battle situation and couldn't access the recordings inside the shuttle. He had to get off and find a place he thought was out of sight to do so, completely ignoring that he was actually at a school during lunch hour.

But to speak of it, accidents happen every year, but this year seems especially frequent. Official data indicated that the Bermuda Star River battle was advancing smoothly, with the Empire's fleet completely driven out by the Normandy, and the casualty data was touching. That didn't seem like Kexiao's usual style at all. What kind of game was he playing?

As for the Blazing Flame fleet, there was no unusual activity. For Kexiao, this was a signal. Feng Yi quietly sent a group of encrypted Heavenly Communication to John...
