"No, no more, all gone, the people on the shuttle just vanished..."

Isn't that expected? You'd think the Blazing Flame Legion was joking with you.

At this moment, Wu Tian finally lost his usual composure. His mouth agape wide enough to fit an egg, he stared blankly at the projected images like a child who had lost his candy, leaving the elder by his side dumbfounded, their hair standing on end...

Amidst everyone's shocked gazes, they couldn't believe the sect leader would react so drastically.

Wu Tian cared not for the shuttle, but for the people on it. As a sect leader, he viewed his disciples as his own children, never imagining that those who followed him for years could be obliterated in a blink of an eye.

At this moment, everyone seemed to just realize the severity of the situation. After all, the Blazing Flame Legion was not known for its reasonableness. This armed force, having dared to destroy national armies and launch unauthorized armed attacks, why would they care about your single shuttle?

In a nutshell, the options were simple: stop the ships or die.

Seeing Wu Tian's flustered and comically disordered state, no one present could laugh; they knew the sect leader must have been deeply shaken. Even the usually cold Mengdie flashed a momentary look of sympathy. After all, having once a teacher means having a father for life; how could they bear to see Wu Tian beating his chest in desperation, everyone losing their bearings in the process?

Fact proved that direct firepower was far more effective than warnings. Within less than an hour, the vast Immortal Mountain was in chaos, filled with signs of destruction, many disciples who hadn't managed to escape dying before they could even cry out.

After destroying the buildings of Immortal Mountain, John swiftly boarded a shuttle and charged towards a new battlefield, intent on killing the bastard who caused the death of the legion's commander!

"Stop the ships, stop the ships, pass my order to stop immediately."

The frantic Wu Tian no longer had the aura of an immortal, repeatedly calling to stop the ships, with no other idea of how to save his disciples, least of all given the nearly impossible odds indicated by his divination.

Now, the people left on the five shuttles were like ants on a hot pan, exploding into panic. Only in the face of imminent death did everyone realize how insignificant, fragile, and helpless they were against military power.

However, aside from the Blade Warrior, nobody knew whom else they could rely on. The Blade Warrior, after all, had close ties with Feng Yi and was well aware of the true nature of the incident. After deliberation, the high-ranking members present had no choice but to stop the ships temporarily while trying to establish contact with the Blade Warrior who was at Freedom Port Maraca.

In this race against time, the shuttle's speed of escapement was far below that of military ships; they would be caught within 57 minutes at most. Opting to flee might instantly lead to the deaths of everyone aboard because if the Blazing Flame Legion dared to destroy one shuttle, they would not hesitate to obliterate the remaining five. Thus, slowing down and cooperating was the only option, to at least buy another 42 minutes.

During these 42 minutes, they had to establish contact with the Blade Warrior in Freedom Port Maraca through the Starcast Broadcast, perhaps the only way out for everyone.

20 minutes later, Yita at Freedom Port Maraca received the communication from Mengdie.

In fact, during the eight days of exploring satellite No. 8, Mengdie had indeed exchanged contact information with the Blade Warrior. Initially, the situation was unclear for the Blade Warrior, and entities like Kexiao and the Jade Clear Sect were boss-like presences to someone long stuck at Rank 1 like her.

They say it's foolish to slap a smiling face. At the time, the Blade Warrior was simply taking the opportunity to cozy up, repeatedly emphasizing that everyone should visit the Freedom Port Maraca to cultivate good relationships. Little did anyone expect that just a few days later, this would become the Jade Clear Sect's last lifeline.

Seeing the communication from Mengdie, the image that appeared on the Light Screen was not Mengdie but the Blade Warrior, who with a puzzled expression said, "You are...?"

"Miss Blade, I am Wu Tian, the leader of the Jade Clear Sect. I am currently being pursued by the Blazing Flame Legion. They are on their way here, they're coming to kill us, please save the disciples quickly."

At this moment, Wu Tian spoke recklessly, looking rather comical. The Blade Warrior, completely confused, had no idea what the old man was talking about. "Hey, old man, be clear with me."

Everyone realized that Wu Tian was very emotionally unstable. Zhan Yu said, "Sir, let me explain."

He briefly organized his words, "I think Miss Blade might still remember me."

"You are Zhan Yu, the protector."

"Yes, we're currently being pursued by the Blazing Flame Legion, and we hope you could explain the real cause of General Feng Yi's death to them."

Blade Warrior exclaimed, "Blazing Flame Legion was in Mardis, how did they come to Zana's territory?"

"They were indeed inside the federation until a few days ago. I think John likely heard about the news of Feng Yi's death, misunderstood something, and recklessly made his way to Zana. Even a super fleet couldn't stop them, and the Jade Clear Sect didn't even get a chance to explain."

"I think I understand, you mean I should explain the real cause of Feng Yi's death for everyone."

"Yes, not to judge a monk by his face but by his Buddha. After all, you and General Feng were good friends, I think this is the only way."

Blade Warrior indeed knew Hugo, a high-ranking member of the Blazing Flame Legion; she had even helped him with a leg transplant in the past. But she wasn't familiar with John. On the contrary, he knew her only through Hugo and Feng Yi's narrative. She thought for a moment, her expression growing increasingly serious, and asked, "You said John is leading the Blazing Flame Legion this time?"
