Viminari quickly retreated, clutching his wound and using Reverse Energy to heal himself. However, he was horrified to discover that he had no control over the direction of Reverse Energy; it was as if his meridians were blocked, and the more he healed his wound, the more severe his injury became.

"Be careful. I'm very familiar with that power. It can interfere with your reverse energy channels, making it difficult for you to use them."

Viminali gritted her teeth:

"Why didn't you tell me sooner? I'd already been infected!"

Qian Xintong retorted, "Even if I told you, you wouldn't understand."

Xiao Feng's expression was ferocious, his pupils glowed crimson, and he exuded an ominous aura.

"Hehehehehe... You're really troublesome..."

"He spoke?"

Viminali was stunned. Normally, communication between different species is achieved through telepathic connections.

However, the current situation is that the other party spoke human language with the throat of a Cooper, and the voice was sharp, noisy, harsh and unpleasant.

Qian Xintong, however, was not surprised at all:

"That's just how these guys are; they can quickly acquire information or knowledge by devouring living beings. It seems that the one we're talking to isn't a new guest from the Pound Continent."

"Xiaofeng" tilted his head ninety degrees and stared straight at Qian Xintong:

"You...know...us? Who...are you?"

Qian Xintong waved his hand, shielding Viminali behind him, and transmitted his voice:

"You've already been infected. Continuing to act will only make things worse. Let me take over."

Viminalide hesitated:

"You? You're not—"

Qian Xintong: "Shh—trust me, I know these guys very well. Their little tricks won't work on me. I can easily solve your little problem in a moment. Our organization is best at this."

Viminali nodded hesitantly, said nothing more, and silently retreated to the back.

"Besides, my task isn't to take him down."

Qian Xintong cleared her throat. "Xiaofeng" did not make any rash moves, as it was unsure of the woman's true strength.

"What brings you here?"

"How...how do you know?"

"Oh, you've got a bad temper. Fine, I'll give you a reason. I came here to know..."

She paused for a moment, then realized that the familiar feeling hadn't returned.

"Looks like your master has given me more authority. Listen up, you little bug over there, be prepared, don't get scared out of your wits. I come from—the Hall of Knowledge."

"Xiaofeng" shuddered, as if he had heard something unbelievable, his eyes widening in disbelief:

"How could it be... here!"

Qian Xintong chuckled:

"What's so surprising about you guys showing up here? I'm quite surprised. But judging from what you're saying, you bunch of flies have been hiding here for quite a while. Looks like you've been blind to what's right under your nose."

"Xiaofeng" looked flustered, as if he had encountered a very difficult situation:

"Oh no... sir, I'm so sorry..."

"What? Oh~"

You mean, you have a superior here? You guys are really bold, daring to have your own branch of the family right under the nose of the Hall of Knowledge. Do you really think we're just decorations, that my father, the Hall Master, is just a figurehead?

"Xiaofeng" was already planning to silence him, but upon hearing Qian Xintong introduce himself, he almost burst into tears:

"Palace Master?! You...you...Princess?"

Qian Xintong waved his hand:

"Don't call me that. Our Temple of Knowledge is not an imperial system, so we don't use that term."

Viminari, standing to the side, was completely dumbfounded:

"What kind of nonsense is this...?"

From his perspective, it was like Qian Xintong was spouting a bunch of words he couldn't understand, and the person on the other end would tremble every time they heard a sentence.

"I advise you not to move around recklessly. My reversal energy is still very... plentiful."

The air suddenly froze.

"Oh no!"

Qian Xintong transmitted his voice. Viminali asked in confusion:

"What's wrong? Weren't you already intimidating them?"

Qian Xintong gave a wry smile:

"The Star Envoy's inverse energy has no such thing as being insufficient or not."

"Hehehehehe... You almost... fooled me, you're dead!"

"Xiaofeng" was trembling with anger, and suddenly sprang up and charged towards Qian Xintong.

"Get out of the way!"

Qian Xintong quickly dodged and found that Viminalis was still beside her:

"You can hide in the ground, right? Hurry up, I'll be fine!"

Viminali hesitated for a moment, then nodded and vanished into thin air.

"Xiaofeng" narrowed his eyes upon seeing this:

"It's alright, kill the traitors from the Hall of Knowledge first."

Left with no other choice, Qian Xintong had to confront the challenge head-on.

"Yellow sand and red iron, pots and pans, lend me a hand!"

While melting down the red sand near the village and the remaining metal artifacts to create elongated metallic strands, she also distracted herself by diving into her sea of ​​consciousness to communicate with the rainbow snake:

"Uncle! I can't beat him by just absorbing this little bit of reverse energy naturally!"

The snake was suddenly awakened and, through sharing its senses with Qian Xintong, discovered that this was indeed the case:

"Holy crap, what's going on? Don't worry, sis, I'll go apply for it for you right away—"

"Apply for what?! Do we have to wait several more days? By then, we won't even be able to collect the body whole!"

Rainbow Snake hesitated:

"Well... I can't just do anything without the boss's permission..."

Outside, the two had already begun a fierce battle, their scorching hair strands constantly piercing "Xiao Feng," while the opponent swiftly swung its claws, severing the threads. However, the severed threads quickly floated back to Qian Xintong's side, re-integrating into her hair, exhibiting both resilience and fluidity.

However, with the blessing of that strange power, "Xiaofeng" became extremely powerful and fast. With a roar, it rushed towards Qian Xintong. Qian Xintong deployed her golden silk shield, but it only made the opponent pause for a moment before the defense was broken.

Qian Xintong's pupils contracted, and she quickly dodged to the side, but was still stabbed in the waist. The scarlet power began to spread into Qian Xintong's body, but she smiled confidently:

"You still want to use this tactic against the people of my Temple of Knowledge?"

Qian Xintong quickly activated the secret technique of the Consciousness Palace. Without using any reverse energy, golden light flashed across his body, and the scarlet marks disappeared completely.

"...Difficult to deal with."

On the surface, Qian Xintong remained calm, but in reality, that attack had pierced through almost all of her strongest defensive measures. This meant that she was completely unable to defend against the opponent's attack and could only dodge to avoid the damage.

The key issue is that she's slower than her opponent, and the silk threads can't inflict any real damage. In other words, she can only passively take the hits, and even then, she can't withstand them.

The silk threads fluttered, but could only harass the other party. As time passed, the other party remained unharmed, while Qian Xintong was covered in wounds.

"Is it ready yet...?"

Qian Xintong was covered in cold sweat and panting heavily. Her face was pale. The intense battle had left her exhausted, and her vital energy was rapidly depleting, soon to be almost gone.

While the two sides were engaged in fierce combat, eight rebels in the territory of Yara were also wreaking havoc, drawing the enemy's attention.

The rest of the group kept a close eye on the outside world from within the Boundless Starry Sky.

"Did you find it?"

"not yet."

"Keep an eye on that big guy. It's a complete mess outside, but he's still sitting quietly in this innermost room. That doesn't make sense."

Boom! The battle outside was deafening. Finally, the big guy couldn't hold back any longer and went out to fight.

At the same time, a black and red longhorn beetle flew off his body and landed near the Boundless Starry Sky. It folded its wings and remained motionless.

"Now!"
