Now that you have met the Palace Master, why do you not kneel?

"Please leave first."

Qin Feng nodded to the two reception maidens and said.

The two maidens quickly nodded, simultaneously sighing in relief as they left, while secretly stealing blushing glances at Qin Feng… The chance to meet 'Shadow 007' was quite rare, even for them!

As the two maidens departed, the middle-aged woman Man Xi was still in a state of confusion, completely unsure of what 'Shadow 007' meant by this.

Just as the maidens left and the door closed.

Man Xi hadn't even reacted yet.

Qin Feng, holding the Judgment Blade, stepped forward and swiftly slashed across her neck!

— —

– 21.6 million (Weakness Attack)!

– 242.591 billion (Weakness Attack)!

— —

Two segments of damage figures immediately appeared above Man Xi's head, and the middle-aged woman collapsed, eyes wide, before she had any time to react!

Of these two damage segments, the first was Qin Feng's normal damage, hitting the opponent's Injury Limit.

The second segment was merely the pure poison damage attached to this normal attack, which penetrated the opponent's Injury Limit, and it was precisely this damage that caused her instant kill!

This one slash was only Qin Feng's most basic normal attack.

He didn't even benefit from invisibility damage increase or back attack amplification.

Even so, it caused Man Xi to owe him nearly five hundred lives!

Her total health of 500 million was no different from a mosquito in front of Qin Feng… However, immediately afterward, Man Xi woke up again.

She found that she had arrived inside a labyrinth entirely constructed of white jade!

Feeling a blur before her eyes, Qin Feng's figure reappeared in front of her, and he said indifferently, "Move."

Man Xi instinctively froze and replied, "Where to?"

"To see your Hall Master."

After Qin Feng finished speaking, he took a step forward and entered a large door shining with white light.

This door appeared at the very bottom of the white jade platform. After Qin Feng granted permission, anyone from the Judgment Land could pass through this door and enter the 'Holy Land' of the Judgment Temple—the location where Archangel Su An resided!

In fact, the moment Qin Feng made his move, Man Xi instinctively wanted to resist.

But before she could make any move, her health bar was already emptied… Seeing the damage dealt by Qin Feng's unremarkable slash, Man Xi immediately lost all thought of resistance.

There was no way.

That several hundred billion damage not only penetrated her Injury Limit, but it was also merely poison damage!

If Qin Feng had used any skills, the damage might have increased by thousands of times?

How could she possibly hope to contend with this 'Shadow 007'?

Furthermore… she was now extremely puzzled as to why she had been killed once, yet seemed not to be dead?

Where was this place? Why did he say he was taking her to see the Hall Master?

Harboring these doubts, Man Xi followed Qin Feng and walked into that large door… After a momentary blur, she found herself in another palace surrounded by white jade walls. This palace was flawless white jade, sacred and sublime, giving off a feeling of inviolability!

And most importantly… Man Xi saw that in the center of this palace, there was an extremely beautiful female Archangel drinking wine!

"That is…"

Man Xi was completely stunned.

She saw the code name above the female Archangel's head: [Archangel Su An (Angel Civilization · Lv100)]… At first glance, she thought she had misread it, and she rubbed her eyes hard, only to discover that she had not been mistaken!

This person was truly the Hall Master of the Judgment Temple she belonged to!

At this moment, unimaginable waves surged in Man Xi's heart.

Originally, when she returned to the Yōlán Civilization, she had planned to use her status as a member of the Judgment Temple to gain a position and lead the people of her Yunying Clan toward greatness.

But she never expected… that the strongest genius of the Yōlán Civilization, who could instantly kill various World Spines, was actually able to communicate with the Hall Master of her Judgment Temple already?!

Of course, Man Xi had not truly realized the actual relationship between Qin Feng and Archangel Su An yet.

In Man Xi's view, 'Shadow 007' must be a subordinate of Archangel Su An?

They met here early, and then Archangel Su An would help lead the Yōlán Civilization's rise?

"…Your subordinate Man Xi greets the Hall Master!"

Man Xi paused for a moment, then immediately reacted, half-kneeling toward Archangel Su An from a distance.

At the same time, she felt some confusion… because according to the rules of the Judgment Temple, one generally needed to kneel on one knee and perform a knight's salute when meeting a superior.

Yet she saw that upon meeting Archangel Su An, 'Shadow 007' not only failed to half-kneel in salute but instead walked casually toward her!

This scene plunged Man Xi into a mental storm… She couldn't understand it.

Since he was a subordinate of the Judgment Temple, shouldn't 'Shadow 007' adhere to the Judgment Temple's rules?

Since he sees the Hall Master, why doesn't he kneel?

Immediately afterward, a scene occurred that she couldn't imagine, making her even suspect she was dreaming.

She watched as 'Shadow 007' calmly walked up to Archangel Su An, and Archangel Su An actually knelt on one knee toward 'Shadow 007', performing a knight's salute with extreme solemnity, seriousness, and respect!

"Get up."

Qin Feng patted her shoulder: "Did you find the information I asked you to look up?"

"Naturally."

Archangel Su An smiled slightly, stood up, and glanced at Man Xi nearby… She recognized her as a member of the Judgment Temple, but she didn't know why Qin Feng had brought her here.

However, she was sensible enough not to ask further, and instead presented Qin Feng with all the latest information she had found regarding the fifth world spine.

"World Spine · Sun and Moon."

Qin Feng nodded and began reviewing the documents.

Meanwhile, Man Xi suspected she was dreaming.

Had she fallen into an illusion created by 'Shadow 007'?

"But even if he wanted to create an illusion, he would have had to have met the Hall Master before…"

"He clearly hasn't been to the Order Land, so how could he possibly have met the Hall Master?"

Man Xi was dazed, her head buzzing.

But she was relatively smart; under these circumstances, she didn't act rashly but obediently remained half-kneeling, motionless… As for Qin Feng, he couldn't help but frown as he looked at the most core and confidential information Archangel Su An had gathered from within the Angel Civilization.

The mechanics of this fifth world spine · sun and moon were truly outrageous!

The first phase alone already required the participation of almost everyone Global!

Even Qin Feng felt his scalp tingle. It was obvious that under these mechanics, even he couldn't handle everything alone. Even if all nine of his clones were deployed, he couldn't deal with the first phase mechanics by himself.

"As expected of the fifth world spine!"

"This is the ultimate test for a civilization!"

"The current Yōlán Civilization might not actually be able to handle the mechanics of this stage."

Qin Feng's expression grew serious.
