"Ren and Zhou Xiao have been released from the Prison of Imprisonment... It seems like they've made quite a commotion."

Silver Wolf, a star core hunter somewhere on the Immortal Ship, summarized the situation and gave it to Kafka, who was standing nearby.

Kafka raised an eyebrow slightly upon hearing this.

Where are they now?

"Ren is being targeted by the Ten Kings' Division and the Cloud Cavalry, and is currently trying to shake off his pursuers... As for Zhou Xiao..."

When he mentioned Zhou Xiao, Silver Wolf paused for a moment before continuing:

"As for Zhou Xiao, he's gone to sleep..."

"sleep?"

Hearing Silver Wolf say that, Kafka turned her head: "He's not being watched? How can he sleep like that..."

"Judging by the location, it's still Pigeon Inn..." Silver Wolf replied using coordinates.

“...”

"He really has a strong heart, how can he sleep like this?" Kafka had to admire Zhou Xiao's sleep quality.

...

As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest place. Before the wanted notice was issued, Zhou Xiao was sleeping in the inn and nothing happened to him.

With Ren drawing fire from the outside, Zhou Xiao was able to get a good night's sleep.

The next morning, wanted posters featuring Zhou Xiao, Ren, and Kafka were posted. The owner of Pigeon Inn happened to see Zhou Xiao's wanted poster outside the inn.

This guy... is actually pretty handsome, isn't he?

Why does it look so familiar?

hiss...

Where have I seen this before?

The owner of Pigeon Inn stroked his chin and then his expression suddenly changed.

Isn't this the guest who stayed at his inn...?

A possible Star Core Hunter?

wanted...

Now that he had learned Zhou Xiao's identity, he was filled with fear and broke out in a cold sweat. He quickly stopped the patrolling Yunqi Army and led a group of people to the inn to capture Zhou Xiao.

However, when they arrived at the inn, it was already deserted, and they couldn't find a single thing.

Who would have thought?

The wanted criminal, the Star Core Hunter, was actually in a densely populated area like the Star Chariot Sea Central Hub! And they had no idea!

"Search! Investigate! We must catch this wanted criminal!"

"yes..."

The group then busied themselves in the room.

Meanwhile, Zhou Xiao, the person in question, yawned. His timing was impeccable; he had escaped from the Pigeon Inn with the ease of a fish in water...

He glanced at his phone again, where Kafka's information was clearly visible.

...

At this very moment, Yanqing, who had been investigating all night, heard from the Cloud Cavalry soldiers in the Star Chariot Sea Central Hub that they had found the Star Core Hunter's trail, and immediately rushed to Pigeon Inn.

He inquired about the situation of the Cloud Cavalry at the Pigeon Inn, and when he learned that there were no significant results, he frowned slightly and began to deduce everything in the same manner as Jing Yuan.

Only one person lives there...

This indicates that the two star core hunters were operating separately.

Once we catch one, the rest will be easy to deal with.

Judging from the marks on the room.

The prisoner must have just left; he hasn't gone far...

With so many Cloud Cavalry outside, escape is not an easy task... It seems he must be hiding in the shadows, just like that Blade.

It's highly unrealistic to expect the Cloud Cavalry outside to find the Star Core Hunters hiding in the shadows...

The Starship Sea has been sealed off again... It's unlikely the prisoners can escape; Luofu is so vast, finding them would be extremely difficult...

etc.

Suddenly, as if she had discovered a blind spot, Yanqing had a flash of inspiration, as if she had been electrocuted.

Luofu is so big, prisoners would definitely need to use starships to escape quickly... Last night, that guy named Blade hijacked a starship.

His accomplice has been exposed... Blade is definitely coming to meet this Star Core Hunter hiding in the shadows...

Blade definitely won't come to meet them openly; Blade will definitely have a pre-arranged meeting place with that person... As long as he knows that pre-arranged meeting place, he can wipe out both Star Core Hunters in one fell swoop!

Yanqing felt as if a door had been opened in her heart, and thoughts immediately began to flow.

Instead of searching for a single person like looking for a needle in a haystack in the Starship Sea's central hub, it would be better to first investigate the starship that was hijacked by the Blade... and then deduce the truth based on the starship's location...

With that in mind, he immediately changed direction and headed towards the port of Xingchahai.

...

And this time, he actually guessed right.

Zhou Xiao really was going to find Ren.

Kafka's message just now was asking him to find Blade, and that the two of them would work together for the time being...

As for the direction, it was completely different from Yanqing's, almost like going in the opposite direction. After all, he wasn't going to the port, and his target was too big.

Yanqing investigated very quickly.

Before long, he discovered some bountiful creatures lying on the ground. He bent down and examined their wounds.

Um.

The incision was so clean and precise, a single, fatal blow...

These wounds don't seem like the kind of injuries that ordinary Cloud Cavalry soldiers could inflict.

I've finally found a clue.

Yanqing was in a great mood and hurriedly released Diting to track down the person who caused the injury.

It is worth mentioning that the Di Ting is a gadget made by the Craftsmanship Department, which can find people and objects by relying on some clues.

Back at Pigeon Inn, those Cloud Cavalry soldiers also used Di Ting.

Several Di Ting beasts, leading several squads of Cloud Cavalry, couldn't find the Star Core Hunter's location. However, due to the large number of people and eyes in the Star Chariot Sea Central Hub, and Zhou Xiao's frequent wanderings within the hub, the atmosphere was very chaotic with mixed scents...

Yanqing followed Diting for a short distance and, before she saw Zhou Xiao, she saw a white-haired woman surrounded by abundant creatures.

Ordinary people?

Why are there still civilians who haven't been evacuated?

Keep in mind that this place is quite a distance from the Star Chariot Sea Central Hub. Normally, civilians should have been evacuated.

Yanqing naturally wouldn't stand idly by, and with a three-foot-long gleam in his hand, he stepped forward to deal with these abundant scum.

His swordsmanship was indeed impressive; his moves were clean and swift, without any hesitation, and he easily resolved the crisis.

"Is my sister alright?"

Yanqing breathed a sigh of relief, and then turned her attention to the older sister in front of her.

As far as the eye could see, the woman in front of me had long white hair with gradient blue ends. She wore black silk gloves on her hands, and her clothes perfectly exposed her shoulders. Looking up, a black strip of cloth covered her eyes.

Is he blind?

Yanqing frowned slightly.

It's so dangerous for blind people in places like this!

"Thank you, little brother."

The woman seemed to sense Yanqing's earlier attack. She turned around and spoke slowly, her voice devoid of emotion and sounding somewhat cold.

"It's nothing, it's all I should do. My name is Yanqing, and I'm a registered Yunqi soldier. I haven't asked for your name yet, elder sister."

Adhering to the principle of doing good deeds and leaving a name for oneself, Yanqing introduced herself very smoothly.

"I?"

Upon hearing Yanqing's question, the woman paused for a moment and slowly said:

"My name is Kagami Ryu."
