Chapter 263
Others used their skills, while some simply crushed the teleportation stones. However, the latter was immediately thwarted by the “Xiao Huang’s” ability, forcing them to switch to skills to break free.
As Yu Xunge prepared to leave the tower, she thought about how, if she could meet Tao Su in real life after ascending, she would find a way to use the skills from the 【Shen She Shou】 (God Marksman) to exchange for his 【Monthly New Arrivals】. Unfortunately, Tao Su was nowhere to be found.
Yu Xunge turned and took flight, initially hoping that if this operation went smoothly, she could save the skill crystals she had obtained from Ding Hai. But as soon as she exited the shield, she was forced to use several skill crystals in quick succession.
She used both 【I Can’t Die Here】 and 【I Don’t Want to Die】, but she didn’t use the rogue’s skill to escape. Her eyes were fixed on the figure with the same orange-red wings as hers—the Wind Scythe.
After breaking through the encirclement, she closely followed the Wind Scythe, who had the same orange-red wings. At one point, the Wind Scythe used some skill and vanished for a brief moment. Yu Xunge activated her B-level tracking skill, 【Hound’s Pursuit】, to catch up.
The Wind Scythe sidestepped a falling rock from a floating island and glanced back at her, a broad smile lighting up their face, reminiscent of how Feng Mu used to guide her through the Forest Sea.
Yu Xunge shouted, “You look like a bicycle seat with dark circles under your eyes! Can you not be so pretentious?!”
The Wind Scythe in front: “…”
The two meerkats finally stopped above a very remote floating island. Yu Xunge looked at the figure and asked, “Who are you?”
“Feng Mu” chuckled softly, “Feng Ran, you don’t even recognize me? I’m Feng Mu.”
Yu Xunge immediately denied it, “No way, it can’t be that fast. They…” As she spoke, she realized she couldn’t finish her sentence. Her mouth suddenly vanished, and a few pulsating acorn patterns appeared on her smooth skin. It took a few seconds for her mouth to reappear, and she hesitantly touched her lips, which had just come back.
【Chapter 351: Feng Mu!】
“Feng Mu” looked at her with a hint of affection and said, “Feng Ran, since you’ve recognized me, why not just admit it? I told you, I am Feng Mu.”
But Yu Xunge was increasingly convinced of the state of this “Feng Mu.” She seemed to be in a trance, much like when Yu Xunge had once immersed herself too deeply in a role and couldn’t break free. Yet, since becoming Feng Ran, she had seen Feng Mu in this state from the very first time they met.
Her thoughts raced, and she asked, “How many times have you been Feng Mu?”
It was a question, but her tone was extremely certain.
“Feng Mu” fell silent for a moment, ultimately showing a resigned expression. Yu Xunge had seen this countless times while playing Feng Ran; Feng Mu always appeared strong but would compromise for Feng Cang and Feng Ran. She was the easiest to talk to in the family. “Feng Mu” said, “Three hundred years, every reincarnation, every day.”
This answer far exceeded Yu Xunge’s expectations, causing her heart to race. She struggled to ask, “Do you still remember who you originally were?”
“Feng Mu” gazed at her, but didn’t answer.
The question was meaningless—whether she remembered or not, she had already made her choice.
Yu Xunge knew she had asked a foolish question.
“Feng Mu” took one last look at Yu Xunge, pulled out the teleportation skill stone sent by Ding Hai, crushed it, and vanished before Yu Xunge’s eyes.
Yu Xunge closed her eyes and found a hidden spot on the floating island to conceal herself, sending a message to Zhao Shuying.
【Yu Xunge】: Who are the five people who ascended the tower?
【Zhao Shuying】: It’s 1 AM now, off work. I’ll get back to you after 9 AM tomorrow.
【Zhao Shuying】: Oh, don’t worry about fate being late; the mission is complete.
Yu Xunge: …
Xiao Zhao, where’s your ambition and your wolf-like tenacity?! Where did they go?!
She couldn’t wait any longer. Yu Xunge knew what she was most worried about—she was concerned that it was Su Yitong!
To allow someone to hold the same top-tier identity for three hundred years within the tower, the source of such good fortune could only be the fully charged Yu Xunhuan, and besides, Su Yitong was the so-called “female lead.”
Yu Xunge didn’t take the teleportation array from the seabed; it would waste too much time. Instead, she directly crushed the teleportation stone sent by Ding Hai.
As the portal opened, she used the Illusion Body spell to become invisible and stepped through. Upon crossing the portal, she found herself in the Ding Hai office where they had gathered initially. Many players were already there, celebrating the successful mission.
Yu Xunge had no interest in socializing. She maintained her invisibility and directly used the Shadow Shift to leave.
After several moves, she arrived at the Su family estate.
At this moment, the Su family was as quiet as a graveyard.
The shielding water curtain had disappeared, and she saw a character named 【Su Yitong】 rapidly approaching one brief character information after another. Under the watchful eye of the pocket watch’s detection skill, these details quickly vanished within the villa.
【Su Jinxuan 9th level 100%┃100%】—disappeared.
【Su Baibo 11th level 100%┃100%】—disappeared.
Su Wu… Su Shangfeng… Su Lingxuan… Su Qiuhua…
One by one, members of the Su family were dying!
The elite players who didn’t share the Su surname were no exception; anyone in the manor tonight would fall to Su Yitong’s hand.
And each strike was a swift, decisive kill without a moment’s pause or hesitation!
“Feng Mu,” it really was her… She had removed her disguise, bidding farewell to her true identity and past self.
Finally, alarms blared throughout the villa, followed by screams and cries for help, along with the explosive sounds of various skills.
Yu Xunge didn’t intervene; these were all accomplices from her past life as Yu Xunhuan. It would be madness to stop them.
But she didn’t take action either. She remained hidden in the air, listening to the Su family’s cries while contemplating how to deal with Su Yitong.
She recalled the line from the fated savior mission: “This may be the new life you’ve always sought.” Without a doubt, becoming Feng Mu was the new life Su Yitong desired.
Once she killed the Su family members, she would inevitably “return” to Zelan.
And Yu Xunge could not allow her to leave; she had to kill Su Yitong today! She had to complete her revenge!
The Su family estate was engulfed in flames, and the character information for 【Su Yitong】 quickly approached 【Su Langfeng】 and a woman named 【Wen Eya】.
Yu Xunge heard Su Langfeng’s startled voice: “Yitong?!”
She had expected Su Yitong to say something to bid farewell to her past, but instead, she disdainfully remained silent.
She had achieved the most perfect and ideal life; those three hundred years, as brilliant as fireworks, had completely illuminated her world, making her heart whole. Faced with the mire of her past, she felt no interest whatsoever, and even speaking another word seemed exhausting.
Heiqi’s current habitat was not far from here, and Ding Hai’s people monitored Heiqi around the clock, so they naturally noticed the skills being used here and were already rushing over.
Could she use a disguise skill to change her appearance and kill her? Of course, she could, but it wouldn’t be wise.
From Ruin Core 5093 to Ruin Core 7203, she had spent ten years with Su Yitong! Although she was always playing Feng Ran, she was embodying her actions and personality. Many subtle habits and micro-expressions she hadn’t deliberately changed, and in fact, she couldn’t.
Many personal habits are often only noticed by outsiders; the individuals themselves may not even be aware of them.
For instance, Yu Xunge could name many small habits of Su Yitong, Feng Tang, and Feng Cang—eating, fighting, chatting—each filled with nuances, and these unconscious little actions were likely things they themselves didn’t even know.
Ordinary people might not notice, but after three hundred years in the tower, with their combat expertise and keen observation skills, they had been personally taught by Feng Tang how to observe their enemies, so they would certainly be able to pick up on it.
At such a critical moment, she couldn’t afford to relax. Until she was certain her enemy had completely vanished from this world with no chance of resurrection, she wouldn’t let anyone know her true identity. Villains always meet their end when revealing their secrets to the protagonists.
In this situation, using her true identity was the safest option. The more straightforward she was, the more she could sever ties with that shadowy thief. She just needed to find a reason to kill Su Yitong… and that reason had to be so justifiable that no one could doubt it.
She took out the Mind Snatcher and told a lie: “Su Yitong has betrayed Blue Star; she wants to kill all Blue Star players she sees.”
【A Lie】(1/1): Using this skill allows one lie to become the truth, lasting for seven natural days.
Minutes later, the already unmasked Su Yitong flew out of the villa window, holding the woman named 【Wen Eya】. She placed the unconscious woman at the villa’s entrance and then began slaughtering the players of the Su family who rushed out.
【Chapter 352: “The First Female Lead”】
Su Yitong’s skills were overwhelmingly powerful; her Flame Whip danced like a snake, and any player in the Su family estate who was struck by it met their end. Her divine gift also ensured she could heal while fighting.
Heiqi hovered in the air, watching the spectacle, but Ding Hai’s players could no longer turn a blind eye. They stepped forward to stop Su Yitong.
Su Yitong’s combat skills were no longer on the same level as the current Blue Star players, and having spent three hundred years by Feng Tang’s side, her skill set had long been updated.
