Wanted Again!
The Pan-Human Alliance, the rebuilt Venal Constellation, the brand new Half Moon Villa.
Night had long since fallen, but Avril quietly crawled out of bed. Her snow-white hands rubbed her somewhat dry eyes, then she opened her wardrobe and changed into a fresh pair of blue jeans, pink sneakers, and a pink travel jacket.
Lightly exhaling, Avril took out a spatial ring from an exquisite box on her dressing table and put it on. She opened the door to the balcony and bathed herself in the silver moonlight.
Her golden hair fluttered in the wind. Avril seemed somewhat melancholic, but her gem-like eyes flickered with determination.
Who was Avril waiting for in the middle of the night? She took out her luggage. Was she going on a long journey? She moved quietly without alerting her maids or housekeeper. Was Avril planning to go on a long journey alone?
In short, on this bright and starry night, Avril's every action was very strange, and what happened next was even more bizarre. A small, oddly shaped warship silently appeared in front of the Jian family, evading the seven powerful defense systems of the Venal Constellation as it floated over like a ghost.
Those familiar with the Alliance warships could quickly tell that this warship did not belong to any of the known warships of the Alliance. Even when the cloaking mechanism was activated and deactivated, it did not emit any ripples.
When the warship disappeared into the galaxy, Avril of the Half Moon Villa also disappeared. The night was still the same, but that beautiful golden waterfall of hair and that extremely adorable face were gone.
The strange and bizarre incident did not end there.
Twenty-seven minutes and nineteen seconds after Avril left the Jian family, a loud sound came from the peaceful Half Moon Villa!
* Kaboom! *
Avril's bedroom was smashed to pieces!
There had been a strong glass door between the balcony and the bedroom, but now it had been blasted to smithereens! The balcony and the bedroom had become one big warehouse!
* Whoosh whoosh whoosh! *
The Yu family's bodyguards arrived soon after. Countless searchlights lit up in the dark night, and countless pairs of terrified eyes were at a loss!
"Where's the young mistress?!"
"I don't know!"
"Who broke this door?"
"I don't know …"
"Then what do you know!?" Pang Xing roared angrily, not caring that he was the chief steward of the Jian family.
"Hurry up and find her! If something happened to the Young Miss! I … I want your lives! "Pang Xing said with a cold expression, his eyes extremely gloomy.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Hundreds of figures quickly disappeared into the night in search of Avril. Unfortunately, in the vast sea of stars, where would they find Avril?
In the thicket not far from the Half Moon Villa stood two black shadows. They had seen everything that had happened in the Jian Family.
"It seems like they don't know where Avril is either."
"It seems so."
"Then what should we do?"
"Let's talk about it in the morning. If we really can't find it, we can only reply truthfully."
"That's strange. Why did Avril disappear right after we arrived? Does she have the ability to predict the future?"
"Impossible, no one can predict the future."
"Then how do you explain the fact that Avril was nowhere to be found even though we were the first to arrive?"
"I can't explain it."
The sorrowful atmosphere quickly spread. Servants and bodyguards could be seen everywhere, panicking.
Bad news always spread quickly. Ten-odd minutes later, the Venal Constellation Police Headquarters activated their emergency plan, and hundreds of thousands of police officers roamed the streets and alleys in search of Avril. Twenty-five minutes later, the Venal Constellation Defense Headquarters began a seamless dragnet search. Thirty minutes later, the military's Public Security Army, Border Defense Army, Special Defense Force, and Intelligence Division all received Avril's photo and a search warrant.
Amidst this tension and unease, the sky gradually brightened, and the two mysterious shadows in the forest disappeared without a trace.
…
"Great-grandfather." Mu Fuping pouted, burying her pretty face in Mu Qiyun's chest. Snake Isle had long since been reduced to ruins, devoid of any signs of life. Mu Fuping's heart was pounding.
To be able to drag the family patriarch, Mu Qiyun, who had not shown his face in the Law Realm for decades, to Snake Isle, whether Mu Fuping was acting coquettishly or coercing him, it was enough to show how much the Withered Mu Clan favored him.
Alas, they had come a step too late. Xia Fei was nowhere to be found in the barren land.
Yu Jin frowned and hurried over to Mu Qiyun's side. The Yu family had suffered a calamity, and even their ancestral hall had been overturned. Yu Jin did not look good at all. As the chief steward of the Yu family, Yu Jin had temporarily taken over the patriarch's position and was responsible for investigating and cleaning up the scene.
Bowing respectfully, Yu Jin asked, "What business does Patriarch Mu have with me?"
Though he was in no mood to deal with these outsiders, Yu Jin was still very respectful. After all, Mu Qiyun was the patriarch of the Withered Mu Clan, a Law Emperor! Let alone the Yu family, no one in the Law Realm would dare to slight this old man.
Coughing twice, Mu Qiyun said, "My precious granddaughter is looking for someone from your Yu family …"
"Xia Fei," Mu Fuping whispered, her voice somewhat hoarse.
"Yes, Xia Fei. Where is this person? Hurry up and bring him over so I can take a look. "
Yu Jin frowned. He naturally knew about the twists and turns between Mu Fuping and Xia Fei, but he had never imagined that Mu Fuping would take this matter so seriously. Her father would not help her, so she had invited the patriarch of the Mu family. This was a great god!
"Patriarch Mu, Xia Fei broke through the Sky Curtain at the last moment, destroying the outer layer of the Yu family's warship and escaping into space. There's no trace of him, and we're still looking for him."
Saying this, Yu Jin pointed to the massive hole in the sky. The warship's protective layer had protected the Yu family from the vile weather of space. Xia Fei had broken through the outer layer and escaped, causing the entire Yu family to panic. Fortunately, the Law Enforcement Board had arrived in time and used law power to seal off the protective layer, preventing a catastrophe.
Mu Qiyun's eyes flashed as he excitedly said, "He destroyed the Sky Curtain?! What's his cultivation? "
"Level 2 Law Sovereign," Yu Jin respectfully replied.
"That was before the Dragon Ascension Conclave. Xia Fei is now a level 4 Law Sovereign."
Yu Jin, Mu Qiyun, and Mu Fuping turned their heads and saw that the speaker was one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Dragon Ascension, the Black Iron Tower, Busey. Beside him was the young master of the Feng family, Zanian Feng.
"He broke through the Sky Curtain at level 4?!" Mu Qiyun muttered to himself, finding this extremely inconceivable.
Mu Qiyun was a senior, so Zanian and Busey both bowed and greeted him. Zanian even gave Mu Fuping a slight nod.
Yu Jin was exasperated. Including Busey, there were now five Law Gods gathered on Snake Isle! This was the first time he had seen such a situation in his life.
"You said that Xia Fei broke through the Sky Curtain and escaped. What do you mean by that? Why would he escape? "Busey's dark face darkened as he coldly asked.
"We're not sure, but everyone in the Yu family saw him shatter the Sky Curtain and the warship's protective layer," Yu Jin said. "Perhaps he's feeling guilty."
"Guilty?!"
Everyone was confused. Unless Xia Fei had done something shameful, why would he escape with a guilty conscience? But what exactly did Xia Fei do?
"Impossible! Big Brother Xia Fei hasn't done anything wrong to the clan, so there's no need for him to escape! "Mu Fuping gritted her teeth and retorted.
Mu Qiyun shook his head. His granddaughter was good at everything, but she was too pure and stubborn. In this dog-eat-dog circle, anything could happen.
Yu Jin softly said, "Xia Fei entered the Sky Curtain alone. Let me ask you, how could a Law Sovereign like Xia Fei enter the Sky Curtain when so many experts of the Yu family were there? Unless someone came to his aid.
"Moreover, if he hasn't done anything wrong to the clan, why would he escape?"
Everyone was stunned, and even Mu Fuping was speechless. The situation was truly disadvantageous to Xia Fei, and his actions could not withstand scrutiny.
"The patriarch has passed away, and Yu Jin still has many matters to deal with in the clan, so I won't be accompanying you. As for the incident in the Yu family, I've already handed it over to the Law Enforcement Board. Whether or not Xia Fei is one of the assassins will be decided by the seniors of the Board."
With that, Yu Jin respectfully took his leave. Zanian looked at Yu Jin's back and said, "Xia Fei's probably in trouble this time."
Mu Fuping's eyes reddened, and she was on the verge of tears. Mu Qiyun hurriedly comforted his precious granddaughter, but it was to little avail.
"I followed the people of the Law Enforcement Board to check out the scene on Snake Isle. Aside from the people of the Yu family and some strange golden skeletons, I didn't see any corpses of the assassins. It seems that the scene has already been cleaned up," Busey softly said.
Mu Qiyun nodded. "There's an expert, one whose cultivation isn't below mine, and one who's proficient in concealment. The Law Enforcement Board won't be able to find anything even if they continue investigating. This person's hands and feet are very clean.
"As for those golden skeletons, they were created by the Yu family's legendary Dragon Sealing Seal and Dragon Unsealing Seal. They were Law Emperors of the Yu family when they were alive, and after their deaths, they were sealed in the Eternal Space, preserving a portion of their cultivation. Yu Jiang even brought out the trump cards of the clan, which goes to show just how fierce this battle was."
There was a moment of silence. For such a fierce battle to be able to leave no traces behind, there was no doubt that someone had set up the scene. It was just that Xia Fei had chosen to escape at the last moment.
That was when Zanian suddenly spoke up. "Xia Fei is a smart man. He has his reasons for everything he does. I believe that he must have had some unspeakable difficulties in escaping."
Mu Fuping blinked as she looked at Zanian. Finally, someone was standing up to speak up for Xia Fei. Miss Fuping was very grateful.
"There's a situation where I would also choose to escape if I were in his shoes," Zanian solemnly said.
"What situation?"
"A situation where the opponent is so strong that he's unparalleled, where no one can be trusted," Zanian said. "Xia Fei broke through the Sky Curtain, yet he didn't stay in the Yu family. This only proves that he doesn't trust the clan or the Law Enforcement Board. If this is a huge plot that involves the interests of all parties, and Xia Fei doesn't know who's in it, who's an enemy, and who's a friend, the only thing he can do is to escape. Oftentimes, an invisible enemy is more terrifying."
Busey frowned and asked, "Are you saying that Xia Fei believes that staying in the Yu family will be dangerous? That's why he's willing to bear the name of murdering the patriarch just to leave? "
Zanian Feng gave a slight nod, glancing at Yu Jin in the distance.
Everyone was slightly taken aback. Busey solemnly said, "His choice might be right, but there's no way he can avoid being wanted by the Law Enforcement Board. As the only person involved alive, the Law Enforcement Board will surely demand an explanation from him."
Busey's guess was spot on. The Law Enforcement Board had carelessly investigated the scene and issued a warrant for Xia Fei's arrest that very night!
