Pillar of Yita

And the reason why the Descendants of Flor are enduring such immense public pressure and still have not withdrawn the pursuit of the Morning Dawn Star members is precisely because of this consideration.

In fact, ever since Fanric’s video was leaked, the upper echelons of the Descendants of Flor have leaned towards the belief that the Hailin Crown—or at least a part of the power behind it—has fallen into this young man’s hands. Although it is still uncertain what his relationship with the Witch of the Sea is, if not for the Hailin Crown, it would be impossible to explain the rapid advancement in his level and skills thereafter.

Isn’t that exactly what both the Descendants of Flor and the Rainbow Alliance fiercely contested in the Battle of the Long Summer?

After establishing this connection, it doesn’t matter much which side the other party belongs to. Yet, amidst the bullet comments, someone actually asked why the Descendants of Flor don’t engage in crisis management, reconcile with Morning Dawn Star, or even recruit this boy after witnessing the strength displayed by the ’Dragon’s Alchemist’ in Fanric?

He couldn’t help but shake his head.

These people completely misunderstand the situation.

Thinking this in his heart, Qing’s pace suddenly slowed down considerably. Because as he looked ahead and raised his head, what appeared to others as merely a pitch-black underground river path, appeared different in his eyes. He could see the faint red light flickering slightly in the dark corners.

It was a series of handprints; someone had groped their way along the rock wall from that direction, only one or two minutes ago. There were also footprints on the ground, flickering with a dim red glow. He didn’t even need to activate his scouting abilities; these pieces of information naturally appeared in his vision.

These were traces of magic power left by someone.

The ripple of magic power still lingered in the air, forming a faint dust cloud, swirling forward. To others, it appeared to be a silent cave, but to him, it was filled with clues, and the traces left by that person were exceptionally clear.

Yu Fei’s judgment was not far off; the other party was solitary.

However, he furrowed his brow slightly, unable to fathom how the other party managed to completely annihilate Dongyue’s squad alone. Could it be based on the power of the Hailin Crown? If only Dongyue had already revived at this time, at least they could provide him with some intelligence.

Unfortunately, he didn’t have the luxury to stop and wait for a quarter of an hour.

Suddenly, he halted because he heard a low voice coming from ahead—a conversation, seemingly a rhetorical question. But the rhetorical question was abruptly cut off in that direction, without anyone responding.

Talking to themselves?

Qing was not hesitant at heart; with a flash from his spear, he lunged towards that direction.

The next moment, he saw that gray shadow—it was indeed only one person; he had guessed correctly. However, what surprised him was that the other party noticed him at the same time, the young man turned around, and there was a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Qing surprisingly understood that surprise—it was the surprise of why he appeared earlier than expected.

This expression caught him off guard, as the other party actually perceived his approach. Qing furrowed his brow, quietly noting this, but his actions didn’t pause, preparing to thrust his spear at the opponent.

Although headquarters instructed him to keep the target alive, this probing thrust wasn’t held back. If the opponent could withstand it, he could naturally consider leaving them alive. But if they couldn’t, it wasn’t his fault either. A lion uses all its strength even when hunting a rabbit, which is Qing’s motto.

But just as Qing raised his spear, he suddenly saw the young man suddenly pause, then turn and pivot in another direction.

This discovery greatly surprised Qing. With a thought, he retrieved his spear, pointing the tip in another direction. As soon as he made this move, he saw the opponent change direction once again, disappearing into the darkness. And this time, it truly left a hint of astonishment in Qing’s heart—

To move before the enemy, isn’t that the swift tactics of that woman?

And the other party discerned his intent.

What does this imply?

Meanwhile, in the live broadcast room, there was a cacophony of voices:

”What the hell is this guy doing?”

”Qing hasn’t even struck, is he joking around?”

”Does he think he can just sidestep and Qing won’t be able to aim at him? Haha, this guy is too amusing.”

Qing silently glanced at these people, shook his head, and silently cursed ”useless” to himself.

But inwardly, he was becoming increasingly cautious.
