“Ran away.”
Mo Ye crouched down, reaching out to touch a spot on the ground. It was unclear what ability she used, but with just a slight closing of her eyes, she made this judgment.
Ye Zhongming believed her completely.
“There really are a lot of good things here,” Ye Zhongming muttered to himself, thinking that one should never underestimate any top-tier life form; someone like Mu Hanyi, who controlled the Radiant World Army, was even more so.
The Radiant World Army, the Resistance Zone, and Cloud Summit Villa were already the three most powerful combat organizations in the national area, boasting the most soldiers. As one of the three giants, Mu Hanyi undoubtedly had many treasures.
From injuring himself to break through the black and white phantom dream space, to using various means and equipment to escape the pursuit of Ye Zhongming and Mo Ye, all of this proved this point.
“Someone is helping him,” Mo Ye said again.
Ye Zhongming nodded once more.
After evolving into a nine-star evolver, or rather, all evolvers who reached nine stars, experienced a significant leap in their profession.
The rune master profession underwent a tremendous change after reaching nine stars, using the full power of Cloud Summit to elevate it to the highest level. Coupled with equipment suited for Mo Ye, she now possessed incredible power.
She mastered many types of runes. In addition to the main combat runes, there were also auxiliary runes, one of which was the sensing rune.
This rune could perceive movement within a certain area, which was even stronger and had a larger range than Ye Zhongming's similar ability.
Moreover, besides lacking any imagery, this sensing rune had another ability that made Ye Zhongming very envious: a rough and incomplete event retrospective.
This was also the reason why Mo Ye sensed that someone was helping Mu Hanyi escape.
“The one who can help him…” Mo Ye didn’t finish her sentence because she wasn’t entirely sure, only guessing that there was a high possibility.
“Yes, it must be him.”
Aside from the fact that the second nine-star evolver of Cloud Summit had always been a mystery, the other two nine-star evolvers in the national area were basically well-known. Of course, after this incident, Mo Ye's name would also be repeatedly mentioned by various forces.
Ye Zhongming and Mo Ye were referring to… Ji Rui Guang.
……………………………………………………
“Ji Rui Guang is here too?”
The people of Cloud Summit were very shocked after hearing this news when Ye Zhongming and Mo Ye returned. Who would have thought that the four major nine-star evolvers in the national area would gather at Cloud Summit at the same time!
“It seems that Ji Rui Guang has no reason to save Mu Hanyi, right?”
Guangyao, who came from the Resistance Zone, was very puzzled. Although there weren’t any intense conflicts between the Resistance Zone and the Radiant World Army, they couldn’t be called friends. If Mu Hanyi died, it should be good for the Resistance Zone, right?
Or one could think the other way around: if they wanted to take action against Cloud Summit, wouldn’t it be better to unite and attack Ye Zhongming and Mo Ye together? But now, with Mu Hanyi arriving first and Ji Rui Guang coming later, it clearly was not prearranged; was the latter specifically here to save him?
Ye Zhongming shook his head, also unable to understand.
Listening to the people below clamoring that they should take action before the boss ascended to the heavens, striking the Resistance Zone or the Radiant World Army a heavy blow, Ye Zhongming felt a bit worried.
It seemed that the defensive strategy he devised for departure, along with the decision to let Mo Ye become a nine-star evolver, was correct.
Looking at the expressions of the people below, even the calm ones like Guangyao, Lu Yi, Sister Rong, and Afo, showed a hint of eagerness for battle.
This wasn’t a bad thing and should even be praised, as losing the spirit of progress was far more terrifying. But when he wasn’t around, such aggression could easily lead to disputes, which would mean uncontrollable factors.
