Mingfei and the others could hardly catch up with Sky Shadow's movements; his ferocious speed was like a streak of black light.

"Stop! Sky Shadow, stop fighting."

Their speed was too fast, and only then did Blade Warrior barely manage to leap over and shout loudly.

Sky Shadow paused slightly, tilting his head to look at the newcomer, "What do you mean?"

Seeing Sky Shadow's grim face, Blade Warrior felt inexplicably nervous and squeezed out an awkward smile, "Well... haha, actually, these people are not enemies right now, so maybe stop fighting?"

"Not fight? After all, you're Feng Yi's friend, have you forgotten how that guy died? Besides, I also have some old scores to settle with them."

"I know that, but it all started from a misunderstanding, let me explain slowly."

"I'm not in the mood to listen to your explanations, or are you going to say..." Sky Shadow's smile became more ominous, turning to Blade Warrior, "You want to stand on their side too."

Damn, this guy is ready to fight even his own people without any discussion, Blade Warrior quickly waved his hands in denial, "No, no, no, you do your thing, this has nothing to do with me." Suddenly, she had an idea, saying cunningly, "Right, Mengdie is pregnant with Feng Yi's child, if you want to continue, I have no objections."

Blade Warrior thought that the relationship between Feng Yi and Sky Shadow seemed unreliable.

Sky Shadow's face changed suddenly, and he roared, "How could she be pregnant with Feng Yi's child."

"It's true, I have no reason to lie to you about this. Feng Yi and Jade Clear Sect still have some connections; that's why I said they are not enemies, of course, if you'd let me explain."

"No need for explanations."

Sky Shadow stared coldly at Blade Warrior, believing she wouldn't dare deceive him on this matter, although he did not know the specifics. Even if he spared Mengdie, he wouldn't let the others go, on the condition that Mengdie must make her stance clear.

He said to Mengdie, "You can choose to join in, or you can choose to back out."

After speaking, Sky Shadow's gaze immediately locked onto the high ranks of Jade Clear Sect.

"Mercy to others is mercy to oneself, why must you insist, Brother Sky Shadow?"

At that moment, a voice approached from afar, belonging to a handsome and graceful young man. With a light and elegant demeanor, he effortlessly stepped forward, and in an instant, he appeared before Sky Shadow.

"Ro... land..."

Sky Shadow spoke haltingly, especially remembering that during the war period, this lad had once been a super soldier of the federation, with a mysterious and unpredictable identity, and surprisingly after all these years, he had shown up here.

"How is it you?" His tone was more one of astonishment.

"Uh... why can't it be me? I'm also an old friend of theirs," Roland glanced casually at Blade Warrior.

"Hmph, whatever, just don't say you, a sissy, also fancy playing the hero."

Sissy? He's clearly a girl, can't they see she's in disguise... Well, Sky Shadow, sharp and talented as he may be, truly doesn't pay much attention to matters of gender.

"Never mind..."

Roland habitually pressed her fingertips to her lips, as if she was hesitating about something, then suddenly swung her arm in a half-circle through thin air, leaving behind a pale blue luminescence. As she moved gracefully like a swan spreading its wings, in an instant, everyone's attention was drawn.

The halo vanished in a flash, and as the luminescence faded, everyone suddenly realized that the Ronald standing before Sky Shadow had, in no knowable moment, transformed into a delicate girl everyone found lovely and pleasing... a somewhat ordinary, well-behaved, and serene girl.

"Uh, how did you do that so quickly?"

"Oh no, I just performed a little magic trick." Roland patted his chest nervously, "Hehe, luckily the deception worked, this time you can't really call me a sissy, can you?"

Can it be... Sky Shadow's mouth hung wide open in a ghost-like expression, "Are you... are you male, female, or a demon?"

"It's not important. Do you members of the Appearance Association still like me? I came here hoping we wouldn't end up fighting."

"Ridiculous, you want me to treat enemies leniently? Just tell me your purpose in doing this, my affairs should have nothing to do with you."

"I don't think they are enemies, but there is no connection indeed."

The members of Jade Clear Sect exchanged looks, sensing that Roland seemed to be on their side. Indeed, Jade Clear Sect and Sky Shadow originally had different interests, but today a grudge was definitely formed.

Roland continued, "Humanity's greatest enemy is now on satellite no. 8."

"Human enemy? Sorry, I don't quite understand what you mean." Sky Shadow didn't connect this issue with humanity.

Those around who heard were also puzzled; this mysterious Roland spoke in such an odd manner.

Seeing everyone's doubts, Roland spoke, "With Feng Yi's death, the Fifth Epoch's winter has arrived, and humanity will head towards its end."

"Damn, what direct connection does this have with Feng Yi's death?"

"What's the rush? I haven't finished speaking." Roland said, "You've probably heard about the Bizarre incidents, formed by the Dark Magnetic Field. Ordinary people coming into contact with this type of field could die instantly. To my knowledge, Feng Yi himself also possessed the same dark forces, completely matching the Bizarre magnetic field." At this point, Roland's tone suddenly changed, "I know the Jade Clear Sect possesses the Linglong Pagoda, which perceives the changes in the sky and predicts future fortunes and misfortunes. Though the tower isn't perfect in foretelling everything on earth, it can reveal a corner of an uncertain future—Master Wu Tian, I think you know a bit about Feng Yi."

Wu Tian was secretly shocked. Why did Roland know about Jade Clear Sect's Linglong Pagoda? He replied gravely, "You're right. At one point, I did calculate that Feng Yi might be a person who would change the world, but I could never see the cosmic will clearly."

"That's right, everything has a probability of uncertainty, just like Feng Yi and the Bizarre, it seems there's some unknown connection between the two. The form of the Bizarre cannot be measured with current human knowledge. However, I can clarify one thing for you all: what originally appeared as a magnetic field phenomenon has gradually transformed into a physical entity. During the time the Bizarre emerged, Feng Yi died; is it time to make a bold speculation?"

"A bold speculation, you're saying Feng Yi's death is related to the Bizarre?" Blade Warrior exclaimed in surprise.

Roland's eyes narrowed into crescent shapes, he silently shook his head, "Be bolder."

"Feng Yi was actually harmed by the Bizarre."

"Mm, go bigger."

"Could it be, could it be that the Bizarre was fearful of Feng Yi to some extent?"

"Mm-hmm, personally, I think it's highly possible."

Sky Shadow spoke calmly, "But why should I believe what you're saying?"

"Because of this video, can we take a look?"

As Roland pressed his watch, a group of Bizarre images from a void appeared on it. The images were evidently pre-edited by Roland; that void, compressed by cosmic rules, just before disintegrating, suddenly paused in its shape, and instantly started transforming from pitch black to a solid, forming a cylinder about one meter tall of a walking entity.

Then, it began attempting to walk slowly, each step resonating solidly. It indicated that the Bizarre weighed much more than visible to the naked eye.

Sky Shadow's voice remained cold, but now stripped of its previous light tone, "What kind of joke is this? Normally, devices would be disrupted by the Bizarre magnetic field and couldn't film from such close distances. How did you manage it?" He keenly caught the inexplicable point in the explanation.

"Good question." Roland flicked out an old camera device, "This is called a phone, this digital camera, both are common photography equipment used by humans hundreds of years ago, already obsolete for centuries. I always carry them with me; you can try it out too."

After a brief experiment, Sky Shadow finally dispelled his doubts about Roland, "I didn't expect early humans to have such overlooked technology." But then, another question lay before Sky Shadow: why was Roland speaking for Jade Clear Sect, why did he possess ancient antiques from early times, and what exactly was his identity?
