I'm bound to the World-Destroying Witch

Chapter 562. Discovery
Xia Feng glanced thoughtfully at Feng Nuoyi.

It's clear that Feng Jianyi loves his daughter very much.

Seeing her older brother, a scumbag, staring at her strangely, Feng Nuoyi tugged at her father's clothes, shrank back, and stammered fearfully, "Big brother, I'm still young, there's no way we can be together."

"?"

You brat, who wants anything to do with you?

Xia Feng realized that Feng Jianyi's daughter, despite looking only six or seven years old, was actually far more mature than her peers, a precocious child.

He shook his head and looked out the window again.

Jing Jiu snapped out of his surprise and flew back towards the front carriage, gradually moving away into the distance.

Jing Jiu is skilled in spatial manipulation, and this distance is still far from enough for him to escape.

Still have to wait.

At that moment, the noise caught Xia Feng's attention, and he turned to look.

Jin Jili was already standing in the center of carriage 126, a crimson-gold feather hanging in his palm. Pale red ripples swept across the entire carriage. Finding nothing unusual, he continued forward.

Carriage 127 and Carriage 128.
It only takes three seconds to scan a carriage, and soon Jin Jili arrived at carriage number 129 where Xia Feng and the others were.

Xia Feng frowned slightly, sensing that something was wrong.

Sure enough, as the pale red ripples swept across the seats where Xia Feng and his group of six were, Jin Jili narrowed his eyes and slowly turned his head.

The mirror of the divine sparrow feathers revealed its true appearance.

In Jin Jili's eyes, Feng Jianyi's true nature was completely revealed.

What surprised Jin Jili even more was that the woman sitting opposite Feng Jianyi also changed her appearance, revealing her true face.

It was Jiang Qiu'e!

The Divine Sparrow Feather Mirror can only reveal the true appearance of a target after it has absorbed the target's blood.

Jiang Qiu'e's blood was clearly not absorbed by Lingjing, yet its disguise was still broken; there is only one possibility.

That's Jiang Qiu'e—this Black Moon Saintess is actually a Star Goddess?!

Or rather, she was once a star goddess, but is now in a weakened state for various reasons!

Upon discovering this truth, Jin Jili's breathing quickened, a strange smirk appeared on his lips, and his cold gaze swept rapidly over the passengers surrounding Jiang Qiu'e.

Two women, a boy, a little girl, and a middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man is Feng Jianyi, and the little girl should be his daughter.

As for the boy, he is very likely a divine half-dragon raised by Jiang Qiu'e.

The identities of the remaining two women are unknown.

But it doesn't matter anymore.

Jin Jili chuckled softly and walked forward slowly without saying a word.

On the low table in the center of Xia Feng's group of six, a line of pale white writing appeared: "Holy Maiden Qiu'e, how have you been?"

Everyone immediately realized that this guy had ulterior motives and didn't intend to report the discovery here directly to Jing Jiu.

Xia Feng glanced out the window. In order to cooperate with Apocalypse's investigation, the Star Iron was traveling at a very slow speed. The spacetime stability around it was still very high and it had not yet entered the unstable zone.

What a hassle.

As she pondered, the pale handwriting on the table rapidly changed, and she continued, "My request is simple, Saintess Qiu'e. As long as you are willing to take this poison, I will pretend I never saw you. A very reasonable deal, isn't it?"

As the writing faded, it coalesced into a crimson capsule, which gently landed in the center of the table.

Jin Jili walked slowly past the six-seater seating area with a faint smile on his lips.

Jiang Qiu'e slightly lifted her eyelids, a cold, murderous glint flashing in her ethereal eyes. "We should have killed him back in the Holy See," Xia Feng thought, hearing Jiang Qiu'e's chilling voice transmitted through the swarm's will. "But it's not too late now. Is there a way?"

Actually, as long as you can create a spacetime turbulence, killing Jin Jili along the way isn't difficult.

Xia Feng narrowed his dark eyes slightly, and out of the corner of his eye, he finally saw that the azure ocean currents outside the star iron were faintly showing distorted lines and ripples, which was a sign of the decrease in spacetime stability.

At the same time, the words on the table changed again.

[Feng Jianyi, if you want to live and your daughter's lives, you should try to persuade this Holy Maiden. Otherwise, hey~ once your daughter falls into the hands of those noble lords, who knows what kind of suffering she'll endure. As a father, can you bear to see your daughter suffer like that?]

Feng Jian's once calm gaze suddenly turned cold, but he didn't say anything. He simply held his daughter, closed his eyes, and sat quietly waiting.

Xia Feng reached out and threw the crimson capsule into the Nascent Soul space.

Jin Jili paused slightly as she took a slow step forward, her effeminate face darkening slightly.

Hey kid, are you making decisions for your master?

"How noisy!" Xia Feng frowned, silently waiting for the Star Iron to approach the unstable Perpetual Current Sea ahead.

Once inside, he would pull everyone into the Holy Knight Space, summon the Divine Refining Tower, and create spacetime turbulence.

All of this needs to be done as quickly as possible; we must fall into the river of time before Jing Jiu can react.

Xia Feng mentally rehearsed the next steps.

But just as he was about to act, he was startled, as the pale seal deep within his soul began to throb.

【What, Your Holiness, is this your attitude?】

The handwriting on the table changed again, but no one cared.

After taking a few more steps forward, Jin Jili saw that Jiang Qiu'e was completely unharmed, and a look of displeasure gradually rose on his effeminate face.

But there was nothing we could do.

Fine, Jiang Qiu'e, do you really think I can't handle you?
Knowing that he couldn't secretly control this aloof saintess who was likely a star god, Jin Jili twitched his lips, turned around, and mocked with his effeminate eyes: "I've already given you a chance, Saintess Qiu'e, but unfortunately, you don't know how to cherish it."

As he spoke, he called out in his mind, "Lord Jing Jiu."

Sudden——

Just a moment ago, there was no space next to Jin Jili, but before anyone could react, a tall, silver-armored knight had already stepped out of the space.

That dignified and indifferent gaze followed Jin Jili's line of sight and quickly locked onto Xia Feng and the others.

"So fast!" Xia Feng's dark pupils narrowed slightly. He clearly saw that this guy had already run to carriage number 2.

Each section of the Star Rail is 100 meters long and can be separated for independent travel, but when linked together, the distance between carriages 2 and 129 is as far as 10,000 meters!
But for Jing Jiu, this vast distance was merely a single step.

Seeing this, Xia Feng didn't panic, because panicking wouldn't help since there was no way to escape normally.

Or rather, in that split second when the pale seal throbbed and he hesitated, he had already missed the best opportunity to escape.

"So what if we miss it? It's a minor issue," Xia Feng said calmly as he looked up.

Jing Jiu's gaze swept over the six people, then turned to Jin Jili: "Who is it?"

Jin Jili shook his head: "Lord Jing Jiu, I couldn't find Feng Jianyi."

"?" Jing Jiu's gray eyes instantly turned icy cold. "Are you courting death?"

"!" Jin Jili felt an overwhelming sense of fear and instinctively took a step back, quickly saying, "Lord Jing Jiu, I just discovered another suspected criminal."

Before Jin Jili came to assist in the investigation, he received instructions from Queshenshan to bring Feng Jianyi to Queshenshan if the opportunity arose.

Therefore, he naturally wouldn't cooperate obediently with the Apocalypse Knights' investigation, and Feng Jianyi probably wouldn't be foolish enough to jump out on his own.
