Laurel's words were like a thunderclap, instantly shattering the three people's hopes.

Jasmine clenched her phone tightly, her knuckles turning white, and a look of disbelief flashed in her eyes.

Violet subconsciously grabbed the hilt of the sword, her body slightly tense, as if ready for a fierce battle at any time.

Feiying took a deep breath, trying to calm her inner turmoil, her eyes revealing firm determination.

"We must act immediately to buy time!" Jasmine said decisively, with a tremor in her voice. "This time, the rift space is obviously larger than the last time. Now every minute and every second may determine the fate of the two cities."

Violet nodded in agreement:

"That's right. We can't let the Apostolic Order succeed. We must stop them from opening more rifts."

Feiying was silent for a moment, then said: "Then let's set off quickly. No matter what is waiting for us ahead, we must stop this disaster."

The three of them quickly ran towards the area between the two cities.

However, they soon discovered that the road ahead was more difficult than they had imagined.

The streets were filled with panicked crowds, some were fleeing for their lives, while others were taking advantage of the chaos to smash, loot and rob.

The air was filled with smoke and explosions could be heard from afar from time to time. The entire city seemed to be in doomsday chaos.

Worse still, the Apostolic Order seems to have taken control of much of the area.

Members of the sect wearing black robes can be seen everywhere, at street corners and on top of buildings.

They were either inciting the masses, or obstructing rescue operations, and some were even directly involved in sabotage activities.

Feiying frowned and said, "There are more and more people... It seems that the Apostolic Cult has come prepared..."

Jasmine nodded in agreement:

"That's right. We have to find a way to avoid these people and go directly to the location of the rift device."

Violet looked around and suggested, "Perhaps we can use the alleys and rooftops to advance. This way we can avoid most of the cult members."

The three of them took this advice and began to navigate through the intricate alleys.

Sometimes they climbed over the walls, sometimes they climbed onto the roofs, and they approached their target with difficulty.

During this process, they had to fight against the cult's miscellaneous soldiers many times, but fortunately, these ordinary members were no match for them.

Just as they were about to approach the beam of light rising into the sky, an accident happened.

An arrow suddenly fell from the sky and hit the path the three people had to take.

Feiying immediately raised the sword and looked around vigilantly.

Jasmine and Violet also quickly assumed combat-ready postures.

"Look up!" Violet reminded in a low voice.

The three of them looked up and saw a figure standing on a roof not far away.

It was a tall woman with long hair fluttering in the wind.

In her hand she held a peculiarly shaped longbow, which was engraved with mysterious runes.

Her eyes were cold, but there was a playful smile on the corner of her mouth.

"I'm sorry, everyone. The road ahead is controlled by the Apostolic Order. Non-members of the order are not allowed to proceed forward." The woman's voice was cold and intimidating.

Jasmine widened her eyes and exclaimed:

"You are a notorious member of the Apostolic Order, a lackey of the Black Rose - Hibiscus!"

Upon hearing this, the woman called Zhu Jin smiled even more deeply and said slowly, "Didn't you expect that I'm already so famous? Although it's not a good reputation..."

She jumped down from the roof gracefully and landed lightly in front of the three people.

Then, Zhu Jin said nonchalantly, "Since you have recognized me, then be prepared to accept my challenge. The container mentioned by Lady Black Rose, please accept my challenge."

While speaking.

She looked specifically at Feiying.

It seemed as if these words were spoken specifically to Feiying.

The words just fell.

Zhu Jin has already drawn the longbow.

An arrow flashing blue light appeared out of nowhere and shot towards the three people in an instant.

Feiying reacted very quickly and swung her sword to block the attack.

However, the arrow exploded the moment it touched the greatsword, and the resulting shock wave knocked all three of them back several steps.

"Be careful! Her arrows are no ordinary weapons!"

Feiying reminded.

Jasmine immediately pulled out her two guns and fired continuously at Zhu Jin.

However, Zhu Jin's figure flashed like a ghost and easily avoided all the bullets.

Violet also joined the battle.

Her sword drew a graceful arc in the air, trying to get closer to Zhujin.

But the opponent's archery skills were too superb.

Every time Violet was about to get close, an arrow would force her to retreat.

The three soon realized that they were facing a truly powerful enemy.

Zhu Jin is not only an expert in archery, but also an excellent close combat fighter.

Even if three people joined forces, they could only barely deal with it and it was difficult to gain an advantage.

The battle lasted for more than ten minutes, and all three were already out of breath, but Zhu Jin was still able to handle it with ease.

At this moment, a hot breath suddenly burst out from Feiying.

Her eyes turned red, and her body seemed to be wrapped in a layer of flames.

Feiying roared and rushed towards Zhujin waving his sword.

The speed and power of this attack far exceeded the previous ones. Even Zhu Jin did not dare to take it head-on and could only dodge awkwardly.

"boom!"

Feiying's sword slammed heavily on the ground, instantly creating a huge hole.

The shock wave spread in all directions, shaking the surrounding buildings to the point of collapse.

Zhu Jin was so shocked by this sudden outburst that she took a few steps back, a hint of surprise in her eyes.

But soon, her expression turned into fanaticism.

"As expected of a fairy vessel."

Zhu Jin said excitedly, "Just like Lady Black Rose said, under pressure and despair, you will definitely burst out with unimaginable potential and show the power of the Flame Fairy! Gradually become a real fairy!"

After saying this, Zhu Jin turned around and left as if he had completed a mission.

The three of them were left looking at each other, at a loss as to what to do.

"Fairy of Fire..."

Jasmine muttered to herself, then turned to Feiying, "Is she talking about you, Feiying?"

Feiying looked confused, obviously having no idea what had just happened.

After a long time, Jasmine seemed to have figured something out and exclaimed:

"As expected! I suspected it a long time ago. Now it seems that the purpose of the Apostolic Cult is probably to let the legendary Flame Fairy who holds the power of fire come with the help of your body, Feiying."

"And your identity all along is most likely the Flame Fairy itself."

"If that's the case, then it makes sense, everything makes sense!"

The more Jasmine spoke, the more she felt that her speculation made sense, and she continued to mutter to herself:

"No wonder the fairy seed has been in your body for so long but still has almost no effect on you..."

"Logically speaking, a normal person shouldn't be able to withstand the power of a goblin perfectly."

"And if you are a fairy, then all of this makes sense! The abnormal power you have been showing, your affinity with fire, and even your origins that cannot be traced can all be explained."

Feiying listened to Jasmine's words, and the confusion on her face became even more intense.

She looked down at her hands, as if getting to know them for the first time.

At this time, Violet suddenly spoke, with a hint of anger in her tone:

"What nonsense are you talking about? She is Feiying, our partner, the classmate who will return to the academy with us, our family, not some flame fairy."

Jasmine's expression became more serious when she heard this.

She looked straight into Violet's eyes and said seriously, "Violet, I know! Feiying hasn't completely become a fairy yet, but what about later?"

"We can't tell whether the fairy seed will erode her sanity."

"You also said that she is our friend. In that case, shouldn't we prevent this from happening?"

Just as the two people started arguing.

Suddenly, a huge change occurred on the horizon.

A huge crack appeared out of nowhere, as if it was going to tear the entire sky apart.

A strange light shone through the cracks, illuminating the entire city.

The surrounding buildings began to shake and the ground also vibrated.

"Not good! The giant rift is about to open."

When Violet saw this, she immediately said:

"Jasmine, now is not the time to talk about this. We must quickly plug that hole, otherwise the entire Twin Cities will be in danger!"

Jasmine nodded.

But when her eyes fell on Feiying again, there was a hint of vigilance in her eyes.

Although she didn't say anything, Feiying still caught the subtle change.

Feiying felt Jasmine's gaze and felt bitter in her heart.

She didn't know who or what she was.

But she knew that the most important thing now was to prevent the disaster from happening.

"Let's go."

Feiying said softly, "No matter who I am, I will cooperate with you after dealing with this matter."

Hearing this, facing Feiying's attitude.

Jasmine lowered her head slightly, a hint of apology flashing in her eyes.

"I'm sorry... maybe I'm overthinking it, but after this incident, you have to come back to the academy with us. We may need to check your body thoroughly."

"It's ok."

Feiying nodded and didn't care.

Then, the three of them continued to run towards the huge crack.

Now the crack in the sky is still continuing to expand.

Obviously.

This rectangular crack entrance is not so easy to open completely.

They still have time before that!

……

There was no further argument about the Fire Fairy.

The three continued to run towards the huge crack in the sky, their hearts filled with tension and anxiety.

As they got closer, the scale of the rift became more visible, and its horror was far beyond imagination.

The crack was like a huge sharp blade, tearing the sky apart.

The light leaking out from the cracks was an unnatural purple-red color, which seemed to be the pheromones from the world where the disaster beasts lived.

Because of these pheromones, the air around them began to become distorted, and even breathing became difficult.

Feiying, Jasmine and Violet had to slow down and move forward carefully.

"We have to speed up!"

Jasmine gasped and said, "Once the rift is opened, millions of people in the Twin Cities will die!"

Feiying didn't say anything, but just silently quickened her pace.

She was still upset about what happened before, but she knew now was not the time to dwell on it.

Finally, after passing through several abandoned streets, the three left Yaoyue City and came to an open area.

Not far ahead is the core of the Apostolic Order's rift device.

However, surprisingly, there were no members of the Apostolic Order here.

The whole area was eerily quiet.

Only the sounds of explosions and screams in the distance reminded them of the chaos in the outside world.

"This is so weird."

Jasmine looked around warily, "Logically, this place should be heavily guarded."

Violet gripped her sword tightly and whispered, "Maybe it's a trap. We have to be careful."

At this moment, Feiying suddenly stopped and looked ahead.

The other two also looked in the direction Feiying was looking.

I saw a figure standing quietly in front of the core of the rift device.

It was a pink figure with its back to them.

Her long pink hair fell over her shoulders, fluttering gently in the breeze.

The figure gave people an indescribable temperament, both elegant and dangerous, like a blooming peach blossom, beautiful but with fatal charm.

Suddenly, a familiar voice was heard.

Zhu Jin, who had left earlier, was sitting on a tree at this time. Seeing the arrival of several people, she took the initiative to speak: "Master Taoyao, they are here."

As Zhu Jin finished speaking.

The figure with long pink hair slowly turned around, revealing a beautiful face.

Her eyes were like the deep starry sky, and there was a faint smile on the corners of her mouth.

"Taoyao?!"

Feiying exclaimed, her face full of disbelief.

Faced with the sudden situation, the three people reacted differently.

Feiying stood there in a daze, her eyes filled with confusion and bewilderment, as if she could not understand the scene before her.

Jasmine quickly raised her two guns, her eyes full of vigilance and alertness.

Violet bent down slightly, ready to draw her sword at any time.

Apostle Tao Yao, an apostle as famous as Black Rose.

There is no doubt that this is an absolutely powerful enemy.

Her appearance undoubtedly greatly hindered their ability to prevent the disaster.

Tao Yao's gaze fell on Feiying, and the smile on his lips deepened a little.

She spoke, her voice like the sound of a clear wind chime:

"I have thought about this scene many times. I also know that this day will come eventually. Even if I don't want to face it, I have to be here."

She sighed softly and continued:

"I'm sorry, Xiao Feiying, I lied to you."

"The cult has its mission, and I have things I should do. Even though Black Rose is a little extreme, I can't completely deny her efforts."

"You want to destroy this device and block the entrance to the rift?"

"If that's the case, then that may disappoint you."

"Because I am here, you cannot take a single step forward until the rift opens."

Feiying listened to Taoyao's words and looked dazed.

At this moment, she felt as if the world was collapsing in an instant.

The scenes of her and Tao Yao's past flashed through her mind, those happy laughter, those sincere conversations, those warm hugs...

Is this all fake?

Taoyao...

Did you really cheat on her?
