"This... is very strange..."
Yue Yan also frowned, "Logically, given Kollegi's status... as one of the Twelve Main Gods, Ares shouldn't be listening to the other party..."
"But from Ares's performance at the time, he actually seemed a bit afraid of that Kollegi..."
Yue Yan's voice was filled with confusion.
"Exactly!"
Qiao Ying chimed in, "Ares is known as the God of War, notoriously arrogant among the Twelve Main Gods... Even the other Twelve Main Gods wouldn't necessarily be able to stop him like Kollegi did..."
"Speaking of which, what exactly is this Dark Holy Cult?"
At this moment, Ye Feng, having erased the demonic rune array on the ground with his Tang saber, spoke up, "This Kollegi is not only involved with demons... but also seems to have some unclear connection with the gods... If I remember correctly, the leader of this Dark Holy Cult is called the Doomsday Law King, right?"
"This..."
Upon hearing Ye Feng's words, Qiao Ying, Yue Yan, and Yue Feixue fell into deep thought, and the atmosphere became somewhat heavy.
"Indeed, it's the Doomsday Law King!"
A middle-aged male voice broke the silence. It was Yue Miao, who had been hiding all along and had not appeared from the moment Ye Feng made his move until Kollegi and Ares left.
"Ye Feng... Kollegi thought I was already dead... That's also why I've been able to track him..."
"If Kollegi knew I was still alive, it would be very difficult for me to track him... after all, he knows my abilities..."
"And in that situation earlier, it wouldn't have mattered whether I showed up or not!"
Yue Miao quickly explained to Ye Feng.
"Tell me about the Doomsday Law King!"
Ye Feng frowned slightly and said.
"As you all just said... the Doomsday Law King is the leader of the Dark Holy Cult... but for some unknown reason, the other party seems to be severely injured... he can't even move on his own..."
"And the various crazy, inhumane experiments Kollegi has been conducting over the years... divine stone irradiation, searching for Anka... all of it is to heal the Doomsday Law King... or rather, to find or create a suitable body for the Doomsday Law King..."
Speaking of this, Yue Miao looked in the direction of Yuan Ling, "That girl named Yuan Ling, her Space Eye ability, should also be a result of Kollegi's experiments... I've seen similar experimental subjects before, but after only a few uses... their eyes would go completely blind..."
"After the Ice City, I realized something... I had never actually tracked the real Kollegi... The Kollegi in Ice City was just a clone, Kollegi has many clones..."
"Some of these clones are special. The real Kollegi seems to be able to communicate with them remotely... And the numbered Kollegi clones are even more special; they possess divine power..."
"What we saw this afternoon, what Kollegi absorbed from clones number 1, 5, and 7, should be divine power..."
Yue Miao took a deep breath, "I've been trying to track the real Kollegi... but there's been no progress... Even the special numbered Kollegi clones haven't seen the real Kollegi..."
"But recently, I don't know what happened, Kollegi seems to have become impatient... The Kollegi we saw this afternoon should be the real Kollegi..."
"The activities of the Dark Holy Cult members have also increased recently... making it much easier for me to track them..."
"Right, as long as Kollegi settles down, I should be able to find him again... Although he's very cautious, I believe there will always be a flaw..."
After a pause, Yue Miao spoke again, "Ye Feng, if there's nothing else, I'll be going now..."
"Wait a moment!"
As he spoke, a flash of light appeared in Ye Feng's hand, and a rather large military radio transceiver materialized.
He handed the military radio transceiver to Yue Miao, "If you find Kollegi's lair, contact me via radio, and I'll act based on the situation!"
"Alright!"
Yue Miao was slightly surprised. He nodded, put away the military radio transceiver, and then left.
...
"Feixue, what do you think... about that Yue Miao?"
Under the night sky, Yue Yan looked in the direction Yue Miao had left and slowly said.
"What can I think... He just happens to have the surname Yue..."
Saying this, Yue Feixue turned to look at Ye Feng.
"Yue Miao... I met him in Ice City... His objective back then was probably to use us to stir up trouble with Kollegi..."
"He contacted me again later, and his objective was very clear: to deal with Kollegi..."
"Overall... he can be trusted to some extent, at least when it comes to dealing with Kollegi..."
Ye Feng pondered for a moment and spoke quickly.
"Alright then!"
...
For the next few days, as Yuan Ling and the other three were recuperating, Ye Feng's group did not continue their journey.
During this time, Ye Feng asked Yuan Ling about Kollegi capturing them. Yuan Ling said that the Wind Whisper Bow and Arrow and the Retaliation Armor suddenly sensed something... and soon after, Kollegi and Ares appeared...
Although Yuan Ling didn't understand why her eyes wouldn't go blind, Ye Feng already had an answer in his heart: it was the power of the Enhancement Fruit...
Back in the Goblin Kingdom, he had risked eating the Enhancement Fruit, breaking through to Gold... His body couldn't withstand the power of the fruit and almost exploded. It was Yuan Ling who helped him absorb some of it...
Ye Feng speculated that it was the power of the Enhancement Fruit that caused Yuan Ling's Space Eye to undergo a certain "evolution"...
...
One noon,
On the second floor of Ye Feng's small cabin,
Yuan Ling and Xiao Lu were leaning against the balcony railing, feeling the breeze...
"Yuan Ling, Xiao Lu, how are you recovering?"
At this moment, Ye Feng appeared from the direction of the stairs.
Hearing the sound, Yuan Ling and Xiao Lu turned their heads simultaneously. Upon seeing Ye Feng, their faces turned red, all the way to the roots of their ears...
Because they remembered the embarrassing and shy scene at the windmill cabin in Blackwater Town that day...
"Why did your faces suddenly turn red?"
Ye Feng looked at Yuan Ling and Xiao Lu with some confusion.
"No... nothing..."
At Ye Feng's question, Yuan Ling and Xiao Lu blushed even more, waving their hands in a flustered manner.
"Let's go, time for lunch!"
...
After lunch,
"Xiao Xiao, your adventure with Ye Feng is truly wonderful..."
Yuan Ling and Xiao Lu were flipping through Xiao Xiao's picture album, listening to Xiao Xiao recount her and Ye Feng's experiences along the way, feeling very amazed and yearning.
"Mm!"
Xiao Xiao replied softly, seemingly absentminded. Her gaze was fixed on a sketch.
"Big Brother, when did this happen?"
Xiao Xiao stared at the sketch for a while, then suddenly ran to Ye Feng's side and asked.
...
