I Bound Myself to a Destructive Witch-Chapter 164 - 147. Heavenly Eye Core

The blinding sunlight streamed through the glasshouse, illuminating everyone inside.

Nobles shamelessly committed atrocities under the guise of light, as a woman in a black dress made her way slowly through the chaotic crowd, her beautiful eyes indifferent beneath her half-fox mask.

Only by witnessing it firsthand could one truly grasp the filth and decay of this world.

Mu Qingtong reached the stair entrance, glanced back, and her lips curled into a cold smile. It was hard to imagine that such a group of people governed Zone 51 on a daily basis, reigning supreme over all living beings.

"Bang—"

Just then, mere seconds after the hunt began in the garden, a loud boom resounded, causing everyone to instinctively look up.

Above them, Master Hua was suspended ten meters in the air, his staff aglow as he continuously assaulted the barrier surrounding the Star Bone Pillar, "Who is in there, come out!"

As Master Hua issued his rebuke, over a dozen individuals donning blue-floral masks gathered around the Star Bone Pillar, seemingly prepared to rush in and capture the intruders once the barrier was breached.

"Wow, Master Hua, this is the first time someone has invaded the Star Bone Pillar, isn’t it?" a noble joked lightly from the first floor.

"Don’t kill the intruders too quickly once they’re caught, Master Hua. Keeping them for some fun wouldn’t be bad."

The crowd seemed unconcerned about the events unfolding above; after a few taunts, they resumed their interrupted hunting game.

"Who is it!" Meanwhile, Mu Qingtong also faced some obstacles as she ascended the stairs when two men with high spiritual power suddenly blocked her path but the next moment, their pupils dilated and they slumped against the wall, falling helplessly to the ground.

Mu Qingtong breezed through to the door unobstructed, where the guard hesitated, "Lady Alice, Mr. Xia is currently attending to the Holy Daughter—"

"Xia Feng was the one I specifically captured," Mu Qingtong faked a lady’s irritated tone.

The guard was about to say something else when Ye Li’s eyes brightened—perhaps he could let this woman stop the Holy Daughter?

He immediately pulled the guard aside, "Let her in."

Mu Qingtong smiled as she entered, closing the door with a bang behind her. Cha Naixue turned around in confusion.

The woman in the black dress walked towards her calmly, her eyes tranquil beneath the mask, and spoke softly, "Mr. Xia, has this woman violated you?"

Xia Feng: "?"

Cha Naixue sat on the sofa, her beautiful eyes narrowing slightly as she identified the visitor’s voice—it was Mu Qingtong.

She wasn’t particularly surprised by Mu Qingtong’s arrival; considering Wei Shutong, who had close ties with the Holy Department, had appeared, she guessed the Holy Department was up to something and thus sent Mu Qingtong to coordinate with Wei Shutong.

Seeing Mu Qingtong step closer, Cha Naixue pressed her lips into a shallow smile, "Please don’t misunderstand; I was just performing for the audience outside and meant no harm."

"Miss Mu, don’t be fooled by this freaky woman!" Xia Feng, indignant and sighing heavily, exclaimed, "Had you arrived a few minutes later, your fiancé here would have lost his chastity, ah, protecting virtue is too difficult."

"..." Cha Naixue’s smile stiffened.

Mu Qingtong ignored Xia Feng’s erratic words, knowing his capabilities; he wasn’t the type to be taken advantage of by such a foolish woman, especially since Mr. Xia was too proud to even consider this so-called Holy Daughter.

She glanced at Xia Feng’s neat collar and spoke gently with raised eyes, "Mr. Xia, let’s be serious and talk business."

Ignoring me? Cha Naixue’s eyebrows subtly furrowed, and she pursed her lips in silence. She keenly noticed that ever since Mu Qingtong entered, she hadn’t looked at her once, seemingly focusing all her attention on Xia Feng...

And Xia Feng too, his tone had notably shifted since Mu Qingtong’s arrival.

"According to the information I’ve gathered, the USB stick that Wei Shutong took from the Prince and gave to you for safekeeping, is actually one of the Heavenly Eye Star God’s Divine Relics—the core of the Heavenly Eye."

Mu Qingtong whispered, "Insert this object into the eye of any domain-type Array, and everything happening within that domain will be broadcasted. The broadcast range is approximately 10 million square kilometers, with a light screen appearing every hundred meters in the sky to display the domain’s scenery."

"If the domain itself contains stored past images, these too can be broadcasted. Over 10 million square kilometers, one billion people from Zone 51 will see the disgrace of the Garden nobility, repeatedly for a month."

Upon hearing Mu Qingtong’s explanation, Cha Naixue snapped back to reality, surprised and glancing sideways at the Star Bone Pillar.

Xia Feng thought to himself that Wei’s move was ruthless, sweeping up all the upper-class nobles who had participated in the Garden game.

If this were successful, the Imperial Gate would be furious. All the top figures in Zone 51 would face a massive upheaval. By then, the Apocalypse Knight Order, Central Court Holy Department, and Military Department would inevitably intervene, conducting a major overhaul of Zone 51; otherwise, they wouldn’t be able to quell the public outrage.

"For absolute secrecy and to enable Wei Shutong to successfully infiltrate the Star Bone Pillar, this operation is being carried out by the White Dragon Walker and the Director of Xuanwu without higher authorities’ knowledge."

Mu Qingtong gave a calm explanation, "Now they are outside the Garden, waiting for Wei Shutong’s result."

"Absolute secrecy?" Xia Feng asked with confusion. "How do you know about the absolute secrecy?"

"Don’t worry about that," Mu Qingtong replied, his gaze turning towards the Star Bone Pillar. "The problem now is that your foster father is likely to fail. He is about to die."

"Crack—"

The semi-transparent barrier set by Wei Shutong around the Star Bone Pillar began to crack.

Xia Feng patted Mu Qingtong on the shoulder and blinked.

Mu Qingtong understood and gave a helpless nod, his mind shifting.

Suddenly, the Spirits surrounding the Star Bone Pillar attacking the barrier were briefly disoriented and collapsed to the ground.

Master Hua’s face changed abruptly, he looked around suspiciously but couldn’t find the attacker.

"Hey, I say Master Hua, can you hurry up and solve this?"

On the first floor, a middle-aged noble looked up, displeased. "If you don’t have time to host Miss Zhi Zi’s tasting banquet, then find another Spirit to replace you."

Hearing the dissatisfaction, Master Hua bowed deeply, apologizing, "I’m very sorry for the disturbance. Please give me half a minute more."

"Don’t bother with that nonsense, Master Hua. You mentioned last time that Mu Qingtong hadn’t arrived. Then what about He Jianzhu?"

The man in the deep blue mask spoke lowly, "I heard that He Jianzhu has already returned to human form; she’s the main attraction of this Hunting Garden. Master Hua, where are the mother and daughter you promised? You haven’t delivered on either."

"Hey~ a mother-daughter affair, eh? Count Abel, you really know how to play," a blond man leaned on the couch, grinning widely. "Count me in when it happens."

As someone spoke up, more guests below became increasingly discontented. Master Hua felt a headache coming on, someone was secretly attacking him with Spiritual power, and he couldn’t locate the target, with only the idiotic noise of these fools in his ears.

"Why isn’t this guy dead?" Xia Feng looked at the blond man in surprise; it was Lucas, who had previously provoked him.

But then, Xia Feng understood—the medical system here was extremely advanced. As long as there was no severe damage to the brain, even if the heart was gone, they could fit you with a brand-new heart and recover quickly.

This was also one of the reasons for Jiang Zhizi and the other girls’ despair.

Indeed, it was a negligence on his part; he should have crushed Lucas’s head outright earlier.

However, it wasn’t a big problem. Since he wasn’t dead, Xia Feng would see to it that the blond man died one more time.

"Buzz!!"

Just then, the Star Bone Pillar emitted a violent buzzing, and brilliant starlight suddenly burst forth, radiating out.

Everyone’s faces changed.
