I Bound Myself to a Destructive Witch-Chapter 215 : 196. A-level fugitive Xia Feng

Seeing that the Judgment Chief had not understood, Luo Ke tapped on the desk and said with a grave voice, "Wei Shutong knew too much, from the death of the Prince to the destruction of the Garden, his presence was there, and we had to solve this problem for 'Sir.' But unfortunately, Wei Shutong disappeared without a trace three days ago."

"So, now we need to capture his only foster son, Xia Feng."

Zorav nodded thoughtfully, "So, you have charged him with the crime of Burning Heaven Heresy?"

"Exactly," the Bald Knight said, straightening his back, gray eyes lifeless as he droned on, "It just so happens that there's a legend about a mysterious unknown Saint Heir within the Burning Heaven Temple, exceptionally gifted, whose identity remains unknown to this day. Xia Feng's talents could barely match this identity."

"And we have searched for a day and found that this lad was last seen outside the Black Moon Church. Thus, we suspect that Xia Feng may have infiltrated the Church."

Hearing this, Zorav had a general understanding of Luo Ke's goal. After pondering for a moment, he nodded and smiled faintly, "Okay, the Church Court will cooperate with you in the search, but I have a condition."

"Please speak."

"The Black Moon Court possesses the right to execute heretic cult dissenters, and even the Military Department may not interfere. So once Xia Feng is captured, the Court must execute him with Divine Fire and offer him as a sacrifice to the Black Moon Goddess," Zorav said, his eyes smiling.

"That's acceptable, as long as a sliver of his soul is left. The rest is at your Honor's discretion."

Luo Ke spoke with an indifferent expression, but suddenly closed his eyes, his brows furrowed tightly.

Zorav noticed something was amiss and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

The Bald Knight opened his eyes and shook his head, his voice slightly colder as he said, "Rek died."

"Dead?" Zorav's originally calm demeanor also shifted, his expression turned grim, "That's impossible..."

The team that entered the Miracle Star River for the Heavenly Stone Embryo this time was incredibly strong; it shouldn't have had any issues.

Even if there were unforeseen circumstances, at most two Level 5 Fierce Battle Knights might have run into trouble, but Rek, a real Fifth-Rank Spirit Master, how could he have died?

In other words, if Rek had died, then those two Level 5 Fierce Battle Knights probably didn't have much chance either.

Thinking of this, Zorav's face grew even more unsightly. What on earth had happened in the Miracle Star River?

He lifted his gaze towards the Bald Knight opposite him, "Luo Ke, have you sensed anything else?"

The Bald Knight furrowed his brow and shook his head, "Although Rek and I come from the same origin, I can only sense his location and status of life and death, nothing more."

The Black Moon Church has two pathways for training knights. The first is to foster Fierce Battle Knights through the purely physical Fierce Battle Project.

The second is the Holy Spirit Project, where knights cultivated from this project will have one or two duplicates, also called false spirits.

False spirits have the same Spiritual Artifacts as the original, but possess completely independent consciousnesses and personalities, and even their strength development is independent.

In essence, a false spirit is a completely new individual; the death of the original will not result in the death of the false spirit.

Rek was the original, while Luo Ke was a false spirit.

Now that the original had died, he, the false spirit, had naturally become the sole original, but this brought him no benefit whatsoever.

"Your Honor, the Judgment Chief, the Miracle Star River has closed, and all surviving participants have returned."

At that moment, a subordinate's voice echoed in Zorav's mind. He nodded and stood up with a grave voice, "It seems that there's a problem with the Miracle Star River. Lord Luo Ke, please come with me."

It was only when Zorav returned to the central hall that he realized it wasn't just a problem with the Miracle Star River—it was a huge problem!!!

The Knight Team he had quietly sent into the Miracle Star River... had been completely wiped out!

The Elemental Church had similarly tried to sneak a Knight Team into the Miracle Star River, but they had been promptly expelled by the mysterious figure in the mask, and no one knew what had happened inside the Star River over the next few days.

However, the only certainty was that the Heavenly Stone Embryo had not appeared, which meant that the Black Moon Goddess had not yet awakened; otherwise, she would have definitely sent down the Heavenly Stone Embryo.

That was perhaps the only piece of good news—at least the Heavenly Stone Embryo had not fallen into the hands of the Elemental Church.

But just as Zorav let out a sigh of relief, he heard that 150 Yao Stones had been outright stolen by the person with the K mask—half of them gone! He almost choked with frustration; the loss of such rare spiritual materials would inevitably lead to accountability from the Supreme Court, and the days ahead were likely to be difficult.

The Elemental Church was equally infuriated, but upon learning of the total annihilation suffered by the Black Moon Church, their anger... somewhat subsided.

Well, at least the personnel losses for the Elemental Church were almost negligible, and when compared with the Black Moon Church, their discomfort didn't seem quite as severe.

The Miracle Star River could only be accessed through Yao Stones, so the person with the K mask must still be hiding amongst the participants. To find this detestable K-masked individual, the Black Moon Church sealed off everything inside and outside the Church and began investigating all participants.

Zorav knew this K-masked person must be very powerful; even if they found him, it was not certain they would gain the upper hand.

But no matter, his vast Power of Faith was sufficient to use Divine Grace Spiritual Clothes Moon Surface once; as soon as he found this bastard, Zorav would drag him into the Moon Surface Space! Let the goddess herself severely punish this scoundrel!!

But... no matter how much they investigated, they still couldn't locate the K-masked individual.

After the last fiasco, the Elemental Church decided not to play along with the Black Moon Church any longer. They prepared to take a few newly acquired followers and leave this contentious place.

Archbishop Lola of the Elemental Church came to a realization: the K-masked individual clearly didn't want to be their enemy. If some Yao Stones were lost, so be it—he would give the K-masked person some face. The most important goal now was to safely escort Li Hongdou to the Elemental Supreme Court; Li Hongdou was far more important than those Yao Stones.

Thus, the upper echelons of both the Elemental and Black Moon Churches engaged in a very civilized yet fierce verbal battle, with Xia Feng watching anxiously from the sidelines. However, despite Archbishop Lola's advanced age and white hair, he was unexpectedly effective and strutted away from the Black Moon Church with Mushroom in tow.

Xia Feng also breathed a sigh of relief.

His Mind Domain had only been activated for 1 hour, meaning he still had 23 hours of domain time left.

If he were in the Miracle Star River, he could have been invincible below the level of Venerable with the Mind Domain.

But now, back in the Present Realm, he had to face the reality that Spirit Masters could still use Spiritual Clothes.

The difference in combat power between a Fifth Rank Spirit Master able to use Spiritual Clothes and one who could not was substantial; if Xia Feng could avoid exposing himself in the Black Moon Church, he naturally wouldn't want to take the risk.

Afterward, things went smoothly. After leaving the Black Moon Church, Mushroom found a secluded spot to release Xia Feng. Xia Feng then went home to pack his bags before planning to make his escape in a couple of days.

But just as he approached his home, he saw a fully armed Knight Team surrounding his front door, idling about with laughter and chatter. At the sound of movement, they turned around with vigilance and collectively paused in surprise.

Just as Xia Feng was puzzled and about to say something, the leading Knight raised his hand and commanded coldly, "Take him down!"

Then, the Silver Knights rushed toward him en masse, quickly encircling him as a series of swords, gleaming with a cold light, pointed at him:

"Imperial Class-A fugitive Xia Feng, you have committed the crime of treasonous heresy. Now the Black Moon Court, under the 'Zone 51 Security Act,' is executing your arrest."

"Please give up resistance and surrender immediately!"
