Transform into a human

Outside, Li was going upstairs with Yue Lai one after the other, but Yue Lai suddenly disappeared right in front of her, and even the crystal signal was completely cut off.

Li showed no panic, but his eyes turned bloodshot. He immediately used the Four Paths of the Pure Child [Putting Yourself in Someone Else's Shoes]. Yue Lai also had this path. Two Pure Children with four or more paths could often break through the barriers of certain extraordinary means to achieve "telepathic communication".

But it failed.

She then contacted the military officer who had just left, and soon Chengfeng arrived at the scene with two fully armed soldiers.

The newcomers looked grim. They were military officers under the Dengwu Hall of the Xianwang Palace Secretariat, whose function was comparable to that of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and who were specifically responsible for managing talented and extraordinary individuals.

He had just met with Yue Lai, and the latter immediately met with misfortune. This was a slap in the face for him!

"search!"

The armored soldiers launched several floating units resembling octopuses, forming an array outside the inn to block the onlookers. Fortunately, it was a family-run inn with few guests, and the landlord and others were quickly asked to leave, finally allowing the two armored soldiers to act freely.

They bit their fingertips and smeared the smear on their faces—these two were actually skin-masking artists!

In front of everyone, they changed their appearances. One of them resembled a red-faced, blue-eyed, black-fanged demon, while the other was just an ordinary person. However, both of them borrowed a power from their new appearances.

Li recognized one of them, one of the Thirty-Six Extraordinary Warriors—[Nuomian].

The ghosts roared, causing ripples to spread through the space. The golden bronze lei was shaken out of its concealed state. Another person casually picked up a potted plant from the side, and the two items suddenly switched places in the next second. The bronze lei was freed from the elusive space-time and appeared in the armored soldier's hand.

Scammers use six tricks, including deception and misrepresentation.

But this guy isn't a flower-wearing swindler at all; he doesn't even have the lotus flower that's the hallmark of those swindlers on their tongues!

Perhaps noticing the surprise in Li's eyes, Chengfeng explained:

"His ancestors once included a smooth-talking liar, so he was able to borrow some tricks from the art of the 'skin-changing master'."

But at that moment, something unexpected happened. The bronze vessel trembled slightly, and the armored soldier was instantly thrown out, flying directly into the crowd outside the door and creating a deep crater.

Another soldier looked grim:

"It's a level three relic!"

The atmosphere instantly became somber, especially Chengfeng, whose face was as sour as the masked demon next to him.

A level-three relic... This means that Xiang Yuelai targeted a woman known as "Zanhua Ke"!

Even though Li reacted quickly, more than five minutes had passed since Yue Lai went missing. That was enough time for Zanhua Ke to kill a martial arts master ten times over!

Li dared not speak, pressing her fist to her chest, trying to remain calm. Cheng Feng took a deep breath and said helplessly, "It should be a spatial containment relic. Please ask the martial arts officer; we can't open it on our own."

"I'm sorry... Miss Wales."

It is clear that the Secretariat was also aware that Li was the daughter of a federal congressman.

"No need to apologize." She continued to stare intently at the bronze vessel.

Chengfeng was too lazy to persuade him any further. In his view, Yue Lai was already a dead man, and it was impossible for a martial arts master to survive for so long in the hands of a flower-wearing knight.

After all, the advantage brought by power is decisive. Even Hou Fan, a film producer with four layers of divine power, died in an attack led by two hairpin-wearing men.

If we were to draw a comparison, his level would be equivalent to a Grand Duke at the fourth level of the Talented Person System.

The armored soldier who had been thrown away earlier limped over to Chengfeng and whispered, "Military Instructor Golden Flower Martinengo will arrive in three minutes."

"Um."

For a city with a population of over 50 million, this was an extremely fast response time, yet it still couldn't save Yue Lai.

Time ticked by, and in the last second of the "three minutes," a woman with long blonde hair arrived at the small hotel. Her steps were very rhythmic, and each step was exactly the same distance.

Compared to the two armored soldiers, her armor not only had gold trim and intricately carved iris patterns, but also bore her proud family badge on her chest—the Martinongo family.

"Lord Martinengo, thank you..."

"Get straight to the point."

"Uh..." Chengfeng chuckled awkwardly, then quickly composed himself. "A hunter commissioned by the High Priest was attacked and is likely imprisoned inside this relic."

Without uttering a single wasted word, Jin Quehua drew her sword and struck the bronze vessel with lightning speed.

The latter was completely unharmed.

Cheng Feng's eye twitched. Let alone a level three relic, even a level one relic is not something that someone below the Star Constellation level could violently destroy. He had long heard that this gentleman liked to "cleave everything in two," and today he had witnessed it firsthand...

Of course, Golden Flower had only made that habitual strike. Just as she sheathed her sword, intending to use her authority to test the containment conditions of this relic, something unexpected happened—

With a loud "bang," the lid of the bronze lei was blown off!

A large amount of water vapor burst forth, along with Yue Lai, who emerged completely unharmed.

Chengfeng opened his mouth wide and began to suspect that this was a prank by Yue Lai. He couldn't believe that any martial arts master could survive the attack by the flower-wearing guests!

Golden Finch also opened her small mouth slightly, and a violent emotional fluctuation appeared on her face, which seemed to be sculpted from ice—she actually cleaved it in two with a single sword strike!

However, the first to react was Li, who had been staring at the bronze vessel. Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, she quickly put away her fist that was pressing against her chest, wiped the sweat from her palms behind her back, and asked casually:

"They're finally out... Where's the other person?"

"It got away," Yue Lai muttered unhappily, "It's a living dead. Didn't you see it while you were keeping watch outside?"

As he said these words, he kept glancing at Chengfeng out of the corner of his eye. Sure enough, the moment he heard the words "living dead," Chengfeng and the other woman's expressions changed subtly.

"They must have slipped away before I arrived," the woman in golden armor stepped forward. "My name is Golden Finch Martinongo. It's a pleasure to meet you, Your Excellency Yue Lai."

Yue Lai was taken aback: "Martinengo? A descendant of Armor Martinengo?"

"Do you know your ancestors?"

"I met him at an armor-forging exchange event. He even helped me forge a full set of armor for my pet back then."

Li Miao understood who Yue Lai's pet was...

"The Armor Forging Exchange Association... Our ancestor has been gone for over a hundred years."

"Is that so..." Yue Lai's eyes dimmed slightly.

"Ahem," in order to interrupt the "face-saving man's" reminiscing, Chengfeng had to assert his presence. "Lord Yue Lai, may I ask about the living dead you mentioned?"

Capital Star, Uranus III.

As the heart of human civilization, the capital planet has seven satellites, three of which are artificial moons, serving as military fortresses to protect the capital.

Umar is one of the four natural satellites. Due to the huge cargo throughput and passenger traffic of the capital satellite, it was developed into a secondary starport very early on, and many service industries were born accordingly.

Today, this satellite, known as the "Crossroads," is experiencing unprecedented congestion. Countless ships have blocked the port, making it completely impassable. Only after this affected various shipping routes on the capital planet did the government enlist the help of a high-ranking official to create a new temporary space above the port of Tianweisan for ships to dock.

As for the reason for the traffic jam... Winona's concert is about to begin, and the Battle Diva will hold an unprecedented "Battle Song Concert" in response to some rumors caused by the Police Headquarters incident.
