237: Chapter 237 Heart in Turmoil

But at this moment, Xing Yaoyan, furious to the extreme, could no longer listen to anything.

Security Bureau... It's the Security Bureau again...

Bad memories flooded her mind once again. Only this time, the roles were reversed; Qian Mo was the one being taken away, while she had become the savior.

In her anxiety, she no longer cared about whether she would be discovered, and immediately unleashed all her power.

In that instant, all the objects across Kyoto that she had specifically marked with a Swap tag emitted a faint golden glow. Her perception, using these objects as conduits, rapidly extended outward, almost instantly enveloping the entire city of Kyoto.

Soon, she sensed it. Inside a truck heading out of Kyoto, Qian Mo's faint Aura was right there.

Found you!

Xing Yaoyan locked onto the direction and prepared to Swap to the location closest to Qian Mo.

But quickly, she realized she seemed to be shrouded by a barrier, making it impossible to complete the Swap.

"What are you doing? Why won't you let me leave!"

"Oh, I forgot to tell you. The higher-ups, specifically to prevent you from causing trouble over Qian Mo's matter, arranged for me to come and keep an eye on you for half an hour. During this half hour, please cooperate..."

The other party raised an eyebrow, seemingly surprised at how quickly she had sensed the existence of the barrier.

"Let me out. This is illegal detention of this Saintess... Are you, the Human Alliance, intending to go to war with the Kingdom of Myriad Demons..."

"Please calm down..."

"I'll say it one more time, let me out!"

"Please calm down..."

"Heh..." Xing Yaoyan laughed in anger.

The very next moment, a giant golden sword of light slashed directly down at the Golden Dragon Enforcer before her.

"Calm down your mother! Die!"

"As expected of the Saintess of the Demon Race, you actually still have such a trick up your sleeve..." The Golden Dragon Enforcer smiled and clapped his hands, but then his gaze instantly sharpened. "But... this still isn't enough!"

He gently raised a finger. Without a sound, the sword of light hovered right above his finger—or to be precise, it stopped in the air just infinitely close to his finger.

No matter how hard Xing Yaoyan pushed, that 0.000001 distance felt like a chasm that was impossible to cross.

What kind of Superpower is this...

Xing Yaoyan's hand trembled slightly from the exertion, but the other party looked calm and composed, as if what was above his finger wasn't a sword of light radiating destructive energy, but a light feather.

Damn it...

After several failed attempts, Xing Yaoyan took a moment to extend one hand toward the Golden Dragon Enforcer.

"Star Swallowing Art!"

The other party evidently didn't expect her to have such a move.

Xing Yaoyan could clearly feel that she had successfully absorbed a sliver of the other party's spiritual energy, and had also successfully caused his spiritual energy to fluctuate for 0.1 seconds.

And in that very 0.1 seconds, she successfully broke through that invisible air wall, and the sword of light finally slashed down viciously.

"Boom!"

The golden sword of light emitted a violent sound due to the explosion. The Golden Dragon Enforcer casually waved away the smoke generated by the aftermath of the battle.

On the hand he had behind his back, a drop of red blood dripped down his finger onto the ground.

His expression was terrible—as a Tier 7, he had actually had his defense broken by a Tier 4 Yao! What a massive humiliation!

At this moment, by analyzing the sliver of spiritual energy she had absorbed, Xing Yaoyan also figured out the other party's Superpower—it was actually the bug-level "Air Control"!

Just now, he had been continuously compressing the air above his finger to form an indestructible invisible barrier, blocking her attack.

Just then, before she could make her next move, Xing Yaoyan felt the air around her body instantly become extremely viscous, then rapidly harden. Her body gradually slowed down accordingly, and finally, she was completely unable to move...

"Young Miss Xing Yan, excuse me... Before the time instructed by the higher-ups arrives, please calm yourself down in my 'Qi Prison'..." the Golden Dragon Enforcer said expressionlessly.

"Are you Enforcers idiots?! Qian Mo and Yun Sheng only met today, and then there was an assassin attack, and now Yun Sheng has committed suicide with a gun right under your noses. This whole thing reeks of something suspicious, why force Qian Mo away!"

Xing Yaoyan's voice was somewhat hoarse from anger.

"Young Miss Xing Yan, the higher-ups have their own determinations regarding this matter, please be patient..."

The other party's eyes showed no fluctuation, repeating these robotic words.

"You listen to me, that guy is under my protection. If he loses a single hair, I will definitely make everyone involved know how to write the word 'death'!!!"

But the Golden Dragon Enforcer merely yawned at this, not taking her words seriously at all.

He knew the other party was out of options and could only rage helplessly here.

Tch... Damn it, damn it, damn it...

Xing Yaoyan was already burning with rage, and seeing his indifferent attitude only made her angrier.

However, the other party was right about one thing: she really was out of options. This "Qi Prison" not only tightly controlled her body but also blocked the circulation of Power Of Will within her. She couldn't even use "Swap" now...

"Heart like water, clear water is the heart..."

Just as her emotions were about to lose control, the incantation for the "Heart-Clearing Incantation" suddenly rang out in Xing Yaoyan's mind.

This was something he had taught her after she and Qian Mo had confirmed their relationship. At the time, she hadn't thought much of it, her heart only filled with the disappointment that the fulfillment of her curiosity hadn't met her expectations.

But now, her originally anxious heart was actually calming down amidst every line of the Dao words of the "Heart-Clearing Incantation"...

"Hum~"

Meanwhile, above the spiritual sea that Xing Yaoyan hadn't noticed, ripples of golden waves accompanied by Sanskrit sounds were spreading outward from a giant Star Pattern, as if it had been activated.

"...Righteous and awe-inspiring, ghosts and demons are all terrified..."

The young girl, who had been locked by the "Qi Prison," kept her eyes closed, and her Aura was growing exponentially with the words she spoke.

Something's wrong... This person isn't right...

The Golden Dragon Enforcer, who had already turned his back to the girl, instantly turned around, his pupils trembling violently.

He actually felt faint pressure from the Tier 4 White-haired girl. How is this possible...

Xing Yaoyan felt as if she had entered a strange state. She seemed to have experienced it once before when she was advancing to Four Marks, but due to her blurred consciousness and Qian Mo at the time, her impression of it wasn't deep.

But this time, her consciousness was clear.

Before long, she was surprised to find that the scene shifted, and she seemed to have arrived at that pure white place again, standing in front of that small courtyard. And the somewhat blurry figure of the beautiful woman who had been in the courtyard before was now standing right in front of her.

"Hello, Xing Yaoyan, or should I say... another 'me'..." The beautiful woman revealed a sweet smile.

...

Outside.

The Golden Dragon Enforcer stared blankly at the White-haired girl before him, who had already broken free from his restraints, her temperament having undergone a massive change, and swallowed hard.

"Oh my~ It seems it's my turn to take the stage again..."

"Xing Yaoyan" reached out and touched the corner of her mouth, revealing a mysterious smile. And behind her was that almost endless golden ocean, every strand of which radiated terrifying might...
