A Top Scholar in Everything-Chapter 978 - 964: Incorrect Inference

As the saying goes, when the crowd outnumbers the few, everyone dares to act; when the few face the crowd, they all shrink back.

In this moment, Tai Mei suddenly vanished, freeing everyone from their bindings, and naturally, the first course of action was to attack directly.

Ali held an absolute advantage in her hands.

In terms of both numbers and strength.

Although Machima has been incredibly difficult to deal with over the years, evading the Federation's encirclement multiple times, they have mostly uncovered the details about this mysterious Demon Hunter over the years.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have been possible to capture her earlier.

Therefore, the moment Ali was freed from her constraints, she immediately ordered an attack. Machima did not flee but instead prepared for battle.

At this time.

There was no escape.

Moreover, these Tier Two and Three Meteor individuals could indeed not pose much of a threat to her; the real concern was the two Tier One Meteors in their ranks.

And in Ali's hands.

There must be powerful Sealing Objects.

As long as these two points are cautiously guarded against, the danger Ali can pose to her is minimal.

Afterward.

If the Life Core of the Seven Coils is found, she can make a grand leap, ending her years of "undercover" life.

"Baiyu, let's act according to the situation next. If it doesn't work out, retreating isn't an issue."

Machima looked to the side.

She originally wanted to remind Baiyu to be careful, but she noticed that he was daydreaming.

Indeed.

Tai Mei's disappearance was shocking and unexpected.

But the emotions and whereabouts of the named are not to be judged by common sense.

Even if it's shocking.

It shouldn't be this stunned for so long.

"Baiyu?"

Machima called out again.

This time.

Baiyu snapped awake, fully conscious, "I'm sorry, I didn't notice just now."

"Don't apologize; they're already coming to take our lives." Machima pointed ahead.

Baiyu furrowed his brows.

When Tai Mei entered the Scholar's Space and took root, the Spiritual Qi here drastically thinned, even less than what was on Canglan Star.

Fighting here would quickly deplete the Spiritual Qi for Martial Artists and Extraordinary people.

The previously rich Spiritual Qi, almost liquified, was clearly due to Tai Mei, and now with Tai Mei gone, the Spiritual Qi would become thinner and thinner.

The entire Aerial Garden.

Is just a broken castle that should only exist in history.

It has long decayed beyond repair; its outward splendor cannot hide its internal decay, and if it were truly full of Spiritual Qi, how could it possibly have no life within it?

"Didn't you realize that after Tai Mei left, the Spiritual Qi here became extremely thin? If the Blood Qi is used with no quick replenishment, eventually, it will run out completely.

It's not suitable to stay here long."

Baiyu spoke earnestly, trying to persuade Machima to reconsider.

But Ali's subordinates had already rushed forward, two Grandmasters' attacks surged forth, one engulfed in massive fireballs, the other conjuring blade after blade of ice.

Such a sudden frozen hell and fiery storm quickly reached their front.

Baiyu could feel the heat waves in the air.

However.

This level of attack had no effect on Machima, and they might even struggle to harm Mike Tea or Extraordinary Tier One individuals like the Countess.

After all, a difference of one Tier in Meteor.

Means a world of disparity in power.

Machima could battle three Tier One Meteors, and those three Tier Ones were tough opponents; yet, they used Sealing Objects to capture Machima, already proving that Machima, even without the strength of the Eclipse Moon Realm, was not far off.

So the fate of these two Grandmasters was inevitable.

In an instant, they were blown apart by Machima directly.

This complete annihilation from body to Spirit was an unprecedented sensory shock, and for a moment, those who planned to strike next didn't dare move forward.

Ali was completely unprepared for this scene.

According to her judgment.

At most, Machima was a Tier Two Meteor; otherwise, she couldn't have been captured before, but now the situation seemed slightly different.

"You plan to enter Wansheng Prison and go directly into the Seven Coils' ruins! With your identity, besides being captured and entering Central City, any other method would be impossible; the city's self-defense system would shred you on sight!

So, you deliberately hid your strength to get captured to approach the Seven Coils' ruins!

Yet.

How did you know the Seven Coils' ruins would open in Central City, and even calculate the timing?"

Ali's deduction was entirely correct.

But she couldn't fathom how Machima could know that the Seven Coils' ruins would open in Central City and predict the exact timing.

Even those major families controlling the Free Federation didn't know this.

Or rather.

At her level, she couldn't know.

After all, once the Seven Coils' ruins opened, the major families immediately organized teams to enter while other families, because their main forces were not in Central City, remained silent at the same time.

They must have prearranged this.

"So this means, you must have a powerful force backing you, allowing you to know these secrets. Be honest, which Cult Organization are you from?

Revival Fist, or Fire?"

Revival Fist and Fire are the two most troublesome Cult Organizations for the Free Federation, with regulations so immense that even most Churches can't handle them.

Besides these two organizations, Ali couldn't think of any other Cults within the Free Federation.

"I must admit, your imagination is quite vivid, but you should consider whether to continue fighting; I've just killed two of your top hands."

Machima was fearless.

Ali narrowed her eyes; her fiery temper wouldn't cloud her judgment. Instead, in such situations, she remained calm.

If she continued to fight.

Even if she captured Machima, the task of exploring the Aerial Garden would fail; although she was part of the family's first group to enter, starting poorly would earn her negative reviews.

Moreover, even if she fought.

She felt she couldn't capture the opponent.

Instantly killing two Tier Two Meteor Grandmasters isn't something a simple Tier One Meteor could do.

"Retreat!"

Ali pondered for a moment and finally gave the order.

The group was highly efficient; they disappeared the moment the command was given.

Once they left.

Machima lowered her guard, turning to Baiyu, "What exactly is that yellow gemstone? Why did Tai Mei leave immediately when you touched it?"

From Machima's perspective.

When Baiyu grasped the yellow gemstone, Tai Mei vanished almost instantly, occurring at the exact same time.

So, there must be a connection between the two.
