I Bound Myself to a Destructive Witch-Chapter 247 - 225. Body empathy? Tactile synchronization?
The fireworks outside the window were resplendent.
Xia Feng and Mu Qingtong exchanged a silent look, without exchanging words, they simultaneously made their move and effortlessly killed the six black-robed men who were following and surveilling them.
"Beep beep beep—"
Mu Qingtong walked up to a capsule ship, quickly tapped the screen a few times, and then dove in, with Xia Feng pressing on either side of her thighs, undulating his body to follow closely after her.
As he adjusted his position on top of Mu Qingtong, the hatch closed.
After Mu Qingtong used 'Bronze Hidden' to extend the invisibility range to cover the entire cabin, they slid out of the orbit; the gate opened, and the capsule ship stealthily approached the outside of the Star Wheel.
Xia Feng glanced at the enormous dark warship perched high above. Seeing that the warship was quiet and unaware, he relaxed slightly.
They truly were worthy of Mu Shen's craftsmanship, ideal for the role of Lao Liu,
Without hesitation, Xia Feng deployed the Melted Object Sealing Skill to deconstruct the Spiritual Clothes. Light red Spiritual Flow surged from his palm into the ship's hull, disappearing into the Star Wheel's hatch behind him.
In an instant, the whole Star Wheel lit up with a flickering red glow.
The warships that were hovering to either side were instantly on high alert. Reynolds, who had been engrossed in analyzing the structure of Spiritual Particles, was startled and looked up. Surveying the red glow moving like waves around him, he was filled with shock and confusion, "What's going on?"
At the same time, in Hall No. 1, where Han Ying had been idly leaning against a seat, he suddenly raised his head, looking somewhat perplexed at the red glow emerging above him.
As he watched, his pupils slowly dilated, a question mark appearing above his head.
No way, is this a fake? It's only been a few hours, and someone has learned the Melted Object Sealing Skill?
"This is... someone has succeeded?" Viper's vertical pupils widened in surprise.
"Impossible." Han Ying quickly realized that someone must already know the Melted Object Sealing Skill.
They pretended not to know, attempting to steal the Fire Seed right under their noses.
Viper also came to this realization, his gaze turning icy, "Let's go and see who this mysterious individual is."
The blonde man nodded and with a step, he quickly closed in on the converging center of the red glow.
The one trying to steal the Fire Seed must be one of those seven people, so the blonde man was not in a hurry. The Star Wheel was surrounded by warships—anyone who surfaced would be taken out in an instant. He really didn't believe the person secretly stealing the Fire Seed could escape.
Unless they had a space-type Spiritual Artifact, or had learned a space-type Superior Rank Spiritual Clothes, otherwise, they'd have no hope of escaping.
However, to his surprise, when he arrived at the docking platform, all he found were six black-robed corpses and no one else. There was a record of the hatch being opened 15 seconds ago.
So, could it be that the bastard who stole the Fire Seed had already escaped in a capsule ship? The blonde man's face immediately darkened, and he turned to glance at the warships outside the window, cursing, "Seriously, are these guys idiots? How could they not see such a huge capsule?"
As the red glow converged and a flame-like shape condensed in Xia Feng's palm, Mu Qingtong maneuvered the capsule ship to move silently forward.
Passing unhurriedly by the side of the huge warships, they advanced towards the deep azure sea in the distance, getting further and further away.
[Divine Relic·Fire Seed]
[One of the keys to unlocking the Fourth Divine Treasure]
Xia Feng took out the Gui Blade and carefully brought the flame towards the blade. Instantly, what appeared to be an ordinary red flame roared, forming a Fire Snake that enveloped the Gui Blade.
[Fire Seed seal removed, forming Authority Fragment—]
[Authority Fragment formed, absorption failed—]
[Divine Authority Fragment·Hua Scroll]
[Function: Unknown]
[Absorption conditions: the Gui and Hua must re-establish a unity of spirituality and senses, after which the Divine Authority Fragment can be absorbed to complete oneself]
Xia Feng had originally thought that the Fire Seed was related to the Authority Fragment and could be used to find the Authority. However, he hadn't expected that the Fire Seed itself was a sealed Authority Fragment.
But it seemed there would be some difficulty in absorbing it.
"Yue Hongli, what does this absorption condition mean?"
After pondering for a moment, Yue Hongli said, "Master, this likely means that I need to meet with the 'mother' of Golden Sparrow face-to-face, and forcibly restore the resonance with her soul and body before the fragment can be absorbed."
The so-called physical resonance meant that the bodies and senses of the two would synchronize. For example, with touch, whatever Yue Hongli felt would also be felt by the 'mother' of Golden Sparrow.
As for soul resonance, it was more complex. To put it in simple terms, it entailed binding the life forces of both parties. Apart from consuming each other, if one died, the other would also perish.

"And Master, establishing a shared empathy only requires a single thought on my part, and the other party cannot refuse. But the premise is face-to-face."
"Ah, this..." Xia Feng fell into deep thought. If that was the case, it would indeed be troublesome.
"That is to say, now we have to find a way to meet with the main body, Hua, and then forcibly establish a shared empathy to absorb the Authority Fragment."
Xia Feng instantly thought of that noble young master named Reynolds, who seemed to have quite a few tricks up his sleeve. He wondered if that young master had a way to summon the "Mother"...
If he could summon her, then everything would be easy.
Thinking this, Xia Feng couldn't help but turn his head to look back.
There wasn't the slightest trace of pursuers.
These guys are really too weak...
The Capsule Ship continued to sail for nearly half a day and finally, a Cloud Platform appeared not far ahead.
In the Eternal Flow Sea, life forms would be devoured by the space-time currents, but the residual dust and other materials would automatically gather, and when they reached a certain size, they would transform into flat planes resembling continental plates, exerting a strong attraction on the objects passing by.
With time, these flat planes might even gradually form an unknown layer of air current around them, which would push out the sea waters of the Eternal Flow Sea, forming a barrier.
Thus, while the interior of these planes lacked an air environment suitable for humans, as long as there was no sea water, High-level Spirit Masters could briefly stay on them.
For this reason, such planes were also called Cloud Platforms, generally used as transfer and rest stations for long-distance voyages.
However, this Cloud Platform was desolate and had not been developed,
"Miss Mu, let's stop here."
"This place is not safe." Mu Qingtong was somewhat skeptical, "We could still possibly be tracked here."
"Miss Mu, running away has never been my style. So I have decided to confront them head-on!" Xia Feng stated with righteousness.
Mu Qingtong: "???"
Xia Feng had indeed planned to slip away without a fight, even temporarily willing to let go of number 14, but after weighing the options, he felt that a head-on attempt wasn't such a bad idea—yeah, as long as those two warships didn't follow.
Of course, his main objective was actually to find a way to capture that noble young master and then very kindly ask if the latter had a method to summon the "Lady Mother" in person.
"According to my observations, there might be two Fifth Rank Spirit Masters, although they're both General Fifth, they are still not easy to deal with." Xia Feng gave a slightly frivolous tilt of the chin to the woman in black dress, "How about it, Miss Mu, do you have confidence?"
While somewhat helplessly confused, Mu Qingtong had long gotten used to Xia Feng's sporadic thinking. If he wanted to make a move, then she would join in the fun...
"Tell me, what do you want to do?" she asked softly.
Xia Feng immediately leaned close to Mu Qingtong's ear and, in excited chatter, briefly explained the plan.

"Where are they! Where are they!!" The blond man was getting agitated, kicking his subordinate's thigh over and over.
"The two who fled are a man and a woman. According to the information, the man is named Yu San and the woman is named Chen Jiu, and they're a couple."
A man in a black robe stood not far away and spoke in a deep voice, "Based on the readouts of Spiritual Pressure fluctuations, neither of them has ascended to Superior Rank; the highest is only Third Rank Spirit Master."

As he said this, he handed a map to the silent Viper, "My lord, this is the trajectory map of the Spiritual Pressure calculated. These two seem to have used some very powerful unknown Spiritual Clothes to make their Capsule Ship invisible, thereby evading the detection of a Grade B Spiritual Artifact."
"Lord Viper, shall we track them using this map of Spiritual Pressure trajectory?" the man asked respectfully, "The Capsule Ship they are piloting is not the latest model, and its speed should not be fast."
Viper didn't say anything, his vertical pupils narrowing into slits, emitting a dangerous, cold light.
He hadn't expected anyone to escape from under his watch.
"Chase them, I'll go personally this time!"
The traces of Spiritual Pressure would likely have already been erased by the Space-time Sea; the difficulty of finding the man and woman was indeed very high.
But these two had dared to make fools of Burning Heaven; they must pay the price!
"Lord Viper, perhaps this time we can truly cooperate," at that moment, the noble young master stepped forward, hands behind his back and boots tapping softly as he walked out of the crowd with a smile.
"Oh?" Viper's vertical pupils flickered with a cold light.
Reynolds remained unflustered, "My Spiritual Artifact is the Sensing Pocket Watch. Anyone who passes within a hundred meters of me can be located again within 24 hours. Although it is not a very impressive Spiritual Artifact, it can sometimes play an unexpected role."
"Wouldn't you agree, Lord Viper?" he said, hands behind his back, smiling faintly.
To collaborate with the Burning Heaven Temple was like bargaining with a tiger for its skin, but no matter, he had enough trump cards to easily deal with these brainless cultists!
