Qiao Beiming and Kristina arrived at the airport and immediately spotted Ming Yue waiting at the entrance.

"We’ll talk on the plane!" Seeing Ming Yue about to speak, Kristina cut her off and said to Qiao Beiming, "There are no flights to Tamwood City at this time. Go hijack a plane."

"Okay!" Qiao Beiming nodded, and the three of them entered the airport.

Meanwhile, on the airport tarmac, Ye Xiu and Lin Feng disembarked from a helicopter.

"See that plane over there?" Ye Xiu asked, pointing to the only airplane on the tarmac. "Kristina is going to hijack a plane, and this is the only one left at this airport. You get on board first and hide. Don’t let her find you. Once you arrive at the Tamwood City airport, someone will be there to meet you."

"Why am I taking the same plane as Kristina?" Lin Feng asked, puzzled.

"There are no more flights from Tamwood City to the Eternal Islands. If Kristina wants to return to her country, she can only go by boat. Following her is the only way you’ll be able to get back to the Eternal Kingdom," Ye Xiu explained.

Lin Feng didn’t quite understand but was too lazy to ask any further questions, so he boarded the plane. Seeing this, Ye Xiu left in the helicopter.

Shortly after he departed, Kristina and Ming Yue arrived at the tarmac and boarded the plane. About ten minutes later, Qiao Beiming hauled two people over and threw them onto the aircraft. Kristina, who was already on board, made a show of force. Through threats and intimidation, she coerced the pilot and co-pilot into flying the plane into the sky.

"Little Princess, where exactly are you taking me?" Ming Yue finally couldn’t help but ask.

"To the Eternal Kingdom," Kristina said with a smile.

Just as Ye Xiu anticipated... Ming Yue thought. Putting on an excited act, she said, "That’s great! Once I’m in the Eternal Kingdom, I won’t have to worry about Ye Xiu killing me anymore."

"Ye Xiu has already been killed by Lin Feng!" Kristina burst into laughter.

Nonsense... Ming Yue almost blurted out. Instead, she asked excitedly, "What? Is that true?"

"Absolutely," Kristina nodded. "You don’t have to live in fear anymore. On this trip to the Eternal Kingdom, I’ll let you kill Ye Xiu’s wife yourself to satisfy your hatred."

"Yes, yes, that’s wonderful..." Ming Yue feigned excitement. To make it look real, she even forced tears to shimmer in her beautiful eyes.

When Qiao Beiming returned to Unparalleled Mountain, he found it completely deserted and frowned. Why haven’t Lin Feng and those two thousand-plus Martial Artists returned yet?

He immediately took out his Xuanse-made phone and called Lin Feng. When the call connected, he asked, "Second Prince, why aren’t you back yet?"

"They can’t come back," Ye Xiu’s voice answered.

"Ye Xiu?" Qiao Beiming exclaimed in shock. "You... how are you still alive? What about Lin Feng and those two thousand-plus Martial Artists?"

"I have the heavens, the earth, and fate to thank for our meeting," Ye Xiu replied. "Not long after you left with Kristina, Huang Quan happened to pass by the Wu Family’s estate and conveniently cut down Lin Feng and those two thousand-plus Martial Artists for me."

"What?" Qiao Beiming’s expression changed drastically. Although he knew Lin Feng and the Martial Artists were just cannon fodder destined to die sooner or later, he hadn’t expected them to be wiped out so quickly.

Damn that Huang Quan! He ruined my entire plan!

Qiao Beiming hung up the phone, his eyes narrowing as he muttered to himself, "With such a major change in the plan, I can’t afford to waste any more time here. I have to carry out the mission quickly. Moreover, I can’t stay in the mountains any longer. Once Huang Quan finds me, I’m doomed..."

After the flight, Ming Yue and Kristina finally arrived at the Tamwood City airport, along with Lin Feng, of course.

Upon disembarking, Kristina immediately tried to contact the Eternal Kingdom’s agents at the airport, but she couldn’t get through. She tried several other contacts, but none of them connected.

"It seems something really has gone wrong back home. Even our agents here in Tamwood City have gone dark." Kristina’s face turned grim, her brows furrowed with worry and unease.

Hiding in the shadows, Lin Feng’s pupils shrank. He suddenly realized that Ye Xiu must have known there was a problem in the Eternal Kingdom, which was why he had arranged for him and Kristina to be on the same plane. But what exactly has happened to the Eternal Kingdom?

"There are so many planes here; we could just take any of them. Why must it be one flown by members of the Eternal Kingdom?" Ming Yue asked in confusion.

"Only planes produced by the Eternal Kingdom can enter the Eternal Kingdom," Kristina explained.

Ming Yue didn’t understand. But Lin Feng did. He knew that the planes produced by the Eternal Kingdom had an identification Formation inscribed on them. It was like a key, allowing them to pass directly through the Eternal Islands’ Formation and land there.

"It seems we’ll have to take a boat," Kristina sighed.

So, the two of them went to the seaside and hijacked a cruise ship. Meanwhile, Lin Feng, following arrangements made by Ye Xiu’s people, had already hidden himself aboard.

Lin Feng was stunned. Kristina is being completely led by the nose. Ye Xiu even arranged which cruise ship she would hijack!

The cruise ship set off. With Kristina personally giving commands and the captain at the helm, the ship headed towards Biluo Island at top speed.

In reality, with the exception of the three Judicator Families, anyone entering or exiting the Eternal Islands was required to be blindfolded and rendered unconscious, let alone know the actual route. That was why, after You Ming destroyed the Eternal Islands’ network and command systems, members of the Eternal Kingdom who were outside could no longer return.

Kristina, however, was a member of one of the three Judicator Families and the young Princess of the Golden Family. Not only could she freely enter and exit the Eternal Islands, but she also knew the route perfectly.

This is the first time I’m returning to the Eternal Islands while conscious, Lin Feng thought, unable to contain his excitement. Of course, what he most anticipated was witnessing with his own eyes how Kristina would open the Formation to enter Biluo Island.

"How long will it take us to reach the Eternal Kingdom?" Ming Yue asked.

"This cruise ship’s top speed is twenty-two knots, which is about 40.7 kilometers per hour. It’ll take almost twenty-five hours to reach Biluo Island," Kristina said bitterly.

The flight from Tamwood City to Biluo Island might have taken over three hours, but that was because the planes were intentionally flying in circles. This was done under the direction of air traffic controllers from the Eternal Islands, mainly to prevent pilots from learning Biluo Island’s exact location. In reality, Tamwood City was only about 1,000 kilometers from Biluo Island.

「Twenty-four hours and forty-five minutes later!」

Kristina ordered the cruise ship to stop, then led Ming Yue out onto the deck.

Ming Yue and the hidden Lin Feng watched as Kristina cut her finger, squeezed out a drop of Golden Blood, and drew a line in thin air as if sketching on a pane of transparent glass. The next moment, a door materialized before Kristina and Ming Yue.

"What kind of advanced technology is this?" Ming Yue asked in astonishment, looking like a country bumpkin who had never seen the city.

Lin Feng was also stunned. So her blood is the key that opens the Formation!

"You don’t need to know about that," Kristina said with a slight smile, stepping through the door with Ming Yue.

The door in the air then began to close slowly. Seeing this, Lin Feng quickly darted through.
