It was already dusk. Groups of two or three miners, having finished exchanging raw stones, emerged from the mine.

Seeing so many officials gathered outside the detention center, he immediately ran over out of curiosity.

Although they were kept over a thousand meters away by the manager, everyone saw the commotion.

Before anyone knew it, tens of thousands of people had gathered!

"Hey... isn't that Chen Luo who just ascended to immortality over there? Why is he surrounded by so many stewards?"

"Really... Could it be that he stayed at the mine as a manager?"

"Are you stupid? You think you need so many people watching you become a manager?"

Chen Luo stole the show in front of millions of people.

At this moment, Ye Feng, who was wearing the illusion skin, was mistaken by everyone for Chen Luo.

It instantly attracted everyone's attention.

"There's a woman standing next to him... She's so beautiful, in that white dress, she looks like a fairy!"

"Tch! The woman sent to the detention center... everyone knows what happened to her."

"Could it be that Chen Luo has taken a fancy to that woman and got into a conflict with someone?"

...

The events that everyone guessed were not entirely accurate, but they were not far off either.

Among the crowd, only a few neighbors who knew Chen Xin knew that things were not so simple.

Just as they were worrying, a gasp rang out from the crowd.

I stood on tiptoe to take a look, and realized it was the supervisor who had taken action!

A true immortal's aura surged, enough to briefly levitate.

Even standing a kilometer away, they could still feel the fierce wind blowing in their faces and felt a chill run down their spines.

The crowd involuntarily retreated to a more distant location.

"No way! The commander actually took action personally! What crime did Chen Luo commit?"

"Chen Luo is already an immortal, a citizen of the empire personally declared by the commander. Even if he were to steal a woman, he shouldn't be executed on the spot..."

The crowd murmured amongst themselves, shaking their heads and sighing.

Surrounded by numerous managers, Ye Feng also stared intently ahead.

Although the two were nearly a hundred meters apart, he could still feel a strong gust of wind blowing from them.

Although the other party was like a helium balloon floating in the air, which was quite comical,

But Ye Feng dared not be careless at all.

Even now, he hasn't undergone the baptism of the laws, so taking flight would be very difficult for him.

...

Chen Xin could clearly feel the tension in Ye Feng's body.

A true immortal... looks like he's doomed!

Even though she believed that her 'elder brother' could create any miracle, at this point, neither of them had any chance of survival.

"Big brother..."

Ye Feng didn't lower his head, he just patted Chen Xin on the shoulder.

"Don't be afraid...it's nothing serious!"

"Why don't you just kill me! I don't want to be... by them..."

Kill...her?

Ye Feng was taken aback. Looking down, he saw Chen Xin with a slight smile, calm and composed.

It's true that the same rice can feed a hundred different kinds of people.

Born to the same parents, Chen Luo is worse than a pig or a dog.

Even Ye Feng couldn't help but admire Chen Xin.

Looking down at Liang Kun and Wang Teng, their faces full of mockery and smugness, from the steps of the plaza below,

Ye Feng's gaze also became even more dangerous.

"Manager... if a fight breaks out, you might not be my match... These two insulted my sister, I will kill them, but if you..."

"Haha...you audacious madman, how dare you spout such nonsense in front of me, and even attempt to commit murder? Since you are so stubborn, then don't blame me for being impolite!"

Upon hearing Ye Feng's words about wanting to kill someone, Liu Tian was overjoyed. This would solidify the charge.

How you handle it is up to you!

As soon as Liu Tian finished speaking, he waved his hands, and a ball of green energy began to condense above his head.

Wood Element Law!

Ye Feng gently patted Chen Xin's shoulder.

"Don't overthink it, it's not a big problem, they're just a bit strong... You step back! Let me deal with them!"

After saying that, he pushed her behind him and released a chaotic light shield to surround her.

then....

Take off!

...

The onlookers outside were still baffled by the manager's commotion.

Then, he sighed at Chen Luo's claim of murder...

Then the supervisor unleashed a divine spell, and everyone retreated in fear...

In the blink of an eye, everyone's face turned to horror.

"Wha...what's going on? How come Chen Luo is flying too?"

"He...he...could it be him too?"

...

Before anyone could speak, a clap of thunder sounded in the sky.

"Boom!"

Countless forces of law, invisible to mortals, surged in from all directions, vying to enter Chen Luo's body.

A fierce wind swept through, and the power of laws formed swirling dark clouds that enveloped the entire mine.

Stunned! Stunned!

"Truly...truly immortal!"

"Baptism of Laws!!"

...

Tens of millions of miles away, the flying boat carrying Commander Wang Sheng was heading towards Mine Area No. 175.

He had received a message from Wang Teng as soon as Wang Teng left the detention center room.

A newly promoted mining immortal is actually able to cast advanced defensive immortal spells.

I suspect he is a spy with ulterior motives...

Chen Luo's promotion was something he witnessed firsthand.

Both his background and his methods of promotion were utterly unremarkable.

To call him a spy... is an insult to the word "spy".

But his own nephew wouldn't lie to him about something like this.

Regardless of whether Chen Luo was a spy or not, this person aroused Wang Sheng's curiosity, so he immediately rushed back.

But unexpectedly, as they approached the mine, they witnessed such a strange change in the sky!

"What...what's going on? How could someone advance to the Xuanxian realm in the wild?"

As far as Wang Sheng could see, there were only swirling clouds.

"Such a commotion... even greater than when I advanced to the Profound Immortal realm, could it be... a spy?"

After the initial surprise, Wang Sheng's face turned cold again.

"Just a newly promoted Xuanxian... daring to cause trouble within my jurisdiction, then don't blame me for being impolite!"

Enraged, Wang Sheng increased the speed of the flying boat to another level, covering a thousand miles in an instant, and rushed towards Mine Area 175.

......

The main city of Jinyuan Star is hundreds of millions of miles away from the mining area.

The sky here, however, remained completely unchanged.

The night sky was clear and dotted with stars, unlike the mining area which was covered by sand and clouds all year round.

The city was brightly lit, and every household was living in peace and prosperity.

On the streets, all those coming and going were of noble birth, their conversations filled with the presence of ordinary people.

Amidst the clinking of glasses and the merriment of laughter...

Just as everyone was enjoying the peace and tranquility, an alarm suddenly sounded in the sky!

"Waaaaah..."

The constant ringing of alarm bells indicates that the planet's defense system has detected powerful energy of unknown origin.

At the main city's defense center, Star Lord Zhuo Bufan suddenly appeared in the main hall, his palm pressing against the star array's hub.

"Beep...beep beep, detecting in progress, Energy Center, Mining Area 175!"

“Energy fluctuations... True Immortal... Profound Immortal... True Immortal... Profound Immortal....”

Zhuo Bufan frowned. Was he a true immortal or a mystical immortal?

Suddenly, the city-wide sirens stopped abruptly.

The control hub in front of Zhuo Bufan spoke.

"Ding! Alert deactivated... Detection indicates fluctuation caused by True Immortal Law Baptism!"

Veins bulged on Zhuo Bufan's forehead.

A true immortal's baptism of laws... actually triggered a star array, activating a city-wide martial law...

Keep in mind that once martial law is declared throughout the city, signals will be sent to the Imperial capital.

This is also the source of the empire's confidence in mobilizing manpower without hesitation; every advancement to the Xuanxian level can be monitored.

The Empire knows exactly how many Mystic Immortals live on your planet.

Fortunately, the system can perform self-checks, and it can correct the error messages it sends.

If it can't be corrected... then there's really no reasoning with them.

Jin Yuanxing only has fifteen Xuanxian in total, and for this war, ten of them will need to be drawn from his ranks.

The management team was immediately caught short of funds.

If we report one more person, they might ask for eleven people directly...

Zhuo Bufan breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt a surge of curiosity.

What kind of law-based baptism could cause the star array to malfunction...?

After much deliberation, I decided to go and see what was going on.
