After an unknown period.
Feng Qi slowly woke up and realized that he was curled up.
Attempting to stretch his body, he soon discovered that it was restrained and incapable of any movement.
The points where his limbs made contact had a chilling metal texture, reminiscent of being enclosed in a metallic container.
Listening carefully, he could hear the sound of an engine roaring outside.
He wasn’t sure if he was on a transport vehicle or a plane.
However, he felt that he had left Star City.
Otherwise, after he pressed the alarm, the owner of the fog would have come to rescue him.
As for the mysterious faction that kidnapped him, he had a rough guess.
The body of the kidnapper was similar to the goat-headed demon. He recalled the statue that the goat-headed demon worshiped.
This enigmatic force was evidently the driving power behind the Dark God Sect.
However, he did not understand why the Dark God Sect could find him and confirm that he was one of the masterminds behind the destruction of the Dark God Sect’s branch.
The owner of the fog was prepared for the possible actions of the forces behind the Dark God Sect.
First, it was regarding the integration of the weak race alliance in Star City. It was impossible for the faction behind the Dark God Sect to obtain any information from a weak domain race.
All investigation missions were cut off by the owner of the fog before they were released.
This step of the plan was successful.
The only route for Former Days City to obtain information in Star City had been cut off.
Even if the factions in Former Days City were restless and eager to investigate Star City, they would struggle to uncover any valuable information.
After all, from the beginning to the end, the owner of the fog and he had not revealed their identities.
Even the higher-ups of the weak race alliance did not know the true identity of the owner of the fog.
More importantly, the owner of the fog was certain that the forces in Former Days City would not act rashly before obtaining effective information.
Even if they were to act rashly, its spies in Star City could quickly detect their tracks.
Multiple insurances guaranteed their safety at this stage.
Thinking of this, Feng Qi became even more puzzled.
He did not understand how the faction behind the Dark God Sect had locked onto him.
There were slight bumps from time to time in the almost enclosed space.
After an unknown period, the feeling of weightlessness hit him. The roar of the engine slowly stopped.
He sensed the metal box he was confined in being lifted, and the jolting sensation of ascending and descending engulfed him.
About half an hour later, he heard the sound of metal springs colliding from inside the box. Right on the heels of that, a strong light hit him, and he subconsciously narrowed his eyes.
The blurry figure in front of him gradually became clearer.
Standing in front of him was a tall figure wearing a goat-headed white bone mask and covered in black runes.
“Get up.”
When Feng Qi heard this, he slowly stood up from the metal box.
Looking around, he saw the tall Dark God statue erected in the distance.
Compared to the statue in his memory, this statue looked different, but it was clearly related.
“Why did you kidnap me?” He turned to look at the masked man in the lead.
“When you chose to target us, you should have known that this day would come, the masked man said in a low voice.
Hearing this, Feng Qi confirmed his guess.
The faction behind the Dark God Sect had seen through their plan.
However, he still did not understand where the Dark God Sect had obtained the information from.
Thinking of this, he calmly nodded and asked.
“Can you explain to me how you’re so sure that I’m the mastermind behind the plan against the Dark God Sect?”
Faced with the question, the masked man thought for a moment and said.
“Let’s exchange information. I’ll answer some of your questions, but I hope you will cooperate with me as well.”
“As a show of sincerity, I will answer your questions first.”
“As for how we identified you as the mastermind, it’s purely a coincidence.
We’ve been conducting investigations in Star City for several months, yet we’ve refrained from engaging with the weak race alliance there out of fear. We were concerned that our presence might be detected, limiting our information and impeding an effective investigation.”
I think so too. If your investigation wasn’t carried out secretly, I would have obtained relevant information.” Feng Qi immediately nodded and continued.
“So what’s this coincidence you’re talking about?”
Faced with the question, the masked man didn’t hide anything.
“During the unveiling of the statue in Star City’s Central Park, a group of children sent you flowers. We realized that you obtained the power of faith from these children.”
“The power of faith is not easily accessible to everyone-it requires an exceptionally unique approach. Observing your ability to absorb this power, we recognized you as a potential adversary and the focal point of our operation.”
Hearing the masked man’s answer, Feng Qi was enlightened.
It turned out that the previous plan had not gone wrong. The only thing that went wrong was the unveiling of the statue.
This explained why the faction behind the Dark God Sect could lock onto him.
“But you don’t know how strong I am. Why did you dare to ambush me in Star
City? Aren’t you afraid of being wiped out?”
“We engaged in internal deliberations before ambushing you, but we chose to take the risk. The gamble we made concerns the future fate of my race, and I had to take that chance.”
The Spiritual Energy Race behind your race lets you take risks like this?”
“How did you know about the Spiritual Energy Race?” The masked man asked in surprise..
