45: Chapter 45 Federal Intervention

Half an hour later, above Jinglin Garden.

The situation changed abruptly.

Two powerful auras descended without warning, instantly locking onto the pillar of light below.

The arrivals were a man and a woman.

The man wore the Federation's specially made blue-gold battle armor; his face was resolute, but his eyes revealed a sinister glint.

The woman had blonde hair and blue eyes, wore a tight-fitting suit, had a hot figure, and was surrounded by Origin Qi.

The Federation North China Theater Chief Inspector—Zhao Feng!

The Federation North China Theater Chief Inspector—Catherine!

These two were the highest combat forces currently stationed at Yanjing Base, representing the Federation here.

"Two Fifth-Order Star Lords."

Su Wu saw through their background at a glance.

"Star Beast! So that's it!" Zhao Feng looked down from above, watching Little White inside the pillar of light, his eyes revealing undisguised excitement. "And looking at this Bloodline purity, it is definitely a high-level Star Beast!"

However, when he saw the middle-aged man on the side, "Su Wu?"

Zhao Feng frowned, seemingly recognizing this middle-aged man.

"The existence of this Star Beast will endanger the safety of Yanjing Base, and even endanger the safety of the Solar System! Our Federation must take this Star Beast away," Catherine, who was on the side, explained.

Su Wu took a step forward, his body slowly rising into the air until he was level with the two.

"Little White can also be considered half my family."

Purple-gold Qi and blood erupted suddenly from Su Wu's body, and the aura of a Fifth-Order Star Lord was released without reservation, even more condensed and domineering than the two opposite him!

"If you want to take Little White away today, you must first get past me."

"Fifth-Order Star Lord?!" Zhao Feng and Catherine's expressions changed slightly.

"But this person's Qi and blood intensity far exceeds that of a Fifth-Order Star Lord! Is it a special Physique?" Zhao Feng sensed that something was wrong with Su Wu.

"You are openly defying the Federation! Have you considered the safety of the people in Yanjing Base, the safety of the people in the Solar System!" Catherine shouted sternly, Origin Qi slowly condensing in her hands.

Su Wu sneered, a long saber suddenly appearing in his hand. The long saber was slowly raised, the tip pointing directly at the two.

"What does that have to do with me, Su Wu?"

"I only know that whoever touches my family, I will kill."

Boom!

The space around Su Wu twisted violently, and his Saber Domain instantly expanded.

The space within a thousand meters instantly turned into Su Wu's Domain, and the air within a thousand meters turned into countless sharp blades, locking Zhao Feng and Catherine tightly.

That sense of crisis, like having thorns on one's back, made the two break out in a cold sweat instantly.

"What is this feeling! How strange..." Zhao Feng was terrified in his heart.

He was a Fifth-Order Star Lord, and he had Catherine, a fellow Fifth-Order Star Lord, with him, but he could feel that if they made a move under these circumstances, there was a seventy percent probability they would be severely injured by Su Wu, or even... killed!

This Su Wu was definitely not an ordinary Fifth-Order!

"Damn it, how can this be?" Zhao Feng's eyes flickered, the greed in his heart diluted significantly by the fear of death.

It was not worth risking his life against such a madman just to catch a Star Beast.

"Zhao, what should we do? Should we fight?" Catherine looked at Zhao Feng. She also sensed that Su Wu was not simple and did not dare to make a move easily.

However, just at this moment... Zhao Feng seemed to have thought of something.

"Su Wu, you are very good." Zhao Feng suddenly restrained his aura, a meaningful sneer appearing on his face.

"Since you are obsessed and refuse to come to your senses, don't blame me for being impolite. However... with the Beast Tide approaching the city now, as a guardian, I must go to the front line to resist the Vicious Beasts first; I have no time for internal friction with you here."

After speaking, he looked at Catherine: "Let's go!"

"But..." Catherine was stunned for a moment.

"Go!" Zhao Feng smiled and looked at Catherine, "Trust me."

Catherine nodded.

The two turned into streams of light, quickly flying away from Jinglin Garden, heading toward the direction of the city wall.

"They left?"

Hong Tianyang and Qi Yunshan below were both stunned.

They did not expect that those two Federation Inspectors, who were usually high and mighty, would actually be deterred by just a few words from Su Wu?

Only Su Wu, watching the backs of the two as they left, felt the chill in his eyes deepen; he knew that the two would not just let it go.

...

After leaving Jinglin Garden, Zhao Feng did not go to the front line of the city wall.

He hovered in mid-air, opened the encrypted communicator on his wrist, and directly dialed an interstellar long-distance video call.

Bzzzz—

The holographic projection expanded, and the figure of a majestic old man appeared in the light screen.

It was the head of the Mars Li Family—Li Yuan.

"Inspector Zhao? You have time on Earth to enjoy yourself, yet you contact this old man; what is the matter?" Li Yuan sat on the main seat, his expression somewhat displeased; recently, Su Wu's affairs had given him a headache.

"Family Head Li, I'm bringing you a piece of news."

Zhao Feng wore a sinister smile on the corner of his mouth, "That Su Wu you have been longing to get rid of... just a moment ago, I saw him."

"Oh?" Li Yuan raised his eyebrows, "That First-Order Star Lord Martial Artist?"

In fact, the Li Family had already investigated more than a month ago that there were no other forces behind Su Wu, and Su Wu's words at that time were most likely bluffing them.

But at that time, Su Wu had actually become an honorary Guest Elder of the Kyoto Martial Arts University, which had put them in a difficult position for a while.

"First-Order? Heh, your intelligence needs to be updated."

Zhao Feng sneered, "Just now, he erupted with the strength of a Fifth-Order Star Lord Realm! Even I almost suffered a loss at his hands!"

"What?! Fifth-Order?!"

Li Yuan stood up abruptly, the calmness on his face disappearing instantly.

"Impossible! He just had his Breakthrough a few months ago! How could he break through four levels in such a short time? Even a 'seed' could not have such speed!"

"The facts are just so."

Zhao Feng said gloomily, "This child's talent is that of a Prodigy; there must be a great secret about him. And... you also know that he has a feud with your Li Family. Now that he is Fifth-Order... do you think, when he reaches the Sixth-Order or Seventh-Order, will he go directly to Mars and wipe out your entire Li Family?"

This sentence accurately hit Li Yuan's weak spot.

Fear.

A kind of fear of unknown potential instantly gripped Li Yuan's heart.

Only a few months? Rising four levels... this growth speed is simply a monster! If he is not crushed now, what if the other party holds a grudge? The Li Family will surely perish!

"What do you want me to do?" Li Yuan's voice became hoarse and filled with Killing Intent.

"Very simple."

Zhao Feng pointed to the Yanjing Base below, "Now Yanjing is facing a Beast Tide, and it is in chaos. In order to protect an Awakened Star Beast, Su Wu is trapped in Jinglin Garden and cannot get away."

"This is the best opportunity to kill him."

"As a Federation guardian, it is inconvenient for me to take action against him directly. But if it is your Li Family... then it has nothing to do with me. By then, you can also be considered to have contributed to the Federation!"

Li Yuan was silent.

This was blatant murder with a borrowed knife. But he had no choice.

"Good."

A flash of resolute ruthlessness crossed Li Yuan's eyes.

"Since he is seeking his own death, then this old man will grant his wish."

The communication cut off.

Zhao Feng watched the light screen disappear, the smile on his face becoming increasingly sinister.

"Su Wu, oh Su Wu, fighting with me? You are still a bit too green."

"When you are dead, that Star Beast... will still be mine!"
