Chapter 173: Red Light Mechanism
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
In the virtual meeting room, Wang Ye met the blonde Samuel.
The other party was about 175 cm tall and was 50% less handsome than him. His facial features were well-defined and exquisite. Wavy bangs came right above his eyes, and his blue eyes sparkled.
“Allow me to apologize for my arrogance, sir.” Samuel placed his left hand on his right chest and bowed slightly. His words were translated in real-time.
???
Wang Ye was a little stunned.
He thought that the first thing Samuel would say would be, “Fame-fishing fellow, are you afraid? To think you did not dare to accept the challenge of a perfection Evolver who just broke through!”
Why was he so polite? Shouldn’t he be as arrogant as Lin Hao?
“You’re different from those old guys in the Blue Planet Alliance.” Samuel looked at Wang Ye with respect. “Thank you for defeating the demonic human organizations and killing True Demon Owl, making a great contribution to the world.”
Wang Ye was silent for a while. “It’s what I should do.”
What a pity.
In just a few words, one could tell what kind of person Samuel was.
Although he was arrogant, at least he was not a bad person.
He couldn’t do anything to him.
“I withdraw my challenge to you, sir.” Samuel looked at Wang Ye. “You’re a real hero. You should have no flaws.”
?
He was very arrogant!
What did he mean by he should have no flaws?
“Your goading method is very old-fashioned.” Wang Ye shook his head.
“What is goading?” Samuel was surprised.
Wang Ye was speechless.
Samuel and Lin Hao were really a match made in heaven!
Who gave him the confidence?
“You pick a time and I’ll fight with you!” Wang Ye couldn’t help himself.
Regardless of whether the other party was goading him or not, he just wanted to see what this guy was all about.
Were special-type ability users that amazing?
“Oh?” Samuel seemed surprised. He hesitated for a moment and pushed his blonde hair away. “If you insist. Let’s spar privately instead of live streaming. That way there will be no embarrassment.”
“Alright!” Wang Ye gritted his teeth.
This guy deserved a beating!
“To show my respect, I will leave for Huaxia to find you, sir.” Samuel gave a friendly smile.
“Fine!” Wang Ye didn’t want to talk to him anymore and prepared to leave.
“Wait! Sir, we haven’t talked about the important matters yet,” Samuel said immediately.
“What?” Wang Ye looked confused. “Didn’t you come to challenge me?”
“Of course not. You suggested it, no?” Samuel was surprised.
Wang Ye was speechless.
Where was his 40-meter-long broadsword?
“I know where Fire Phoenix is, sir.” Samuel saw that Wang Ye’s expression wasn’t good, so he said immediately.
“Oh?”

White Eagle Federation, Ashley Islands. A barren land with few people.
Ever since the apocalypse, this place had been abandoned. Not even a base city had been built.
“Are Samuel’s words reliable? Would Fire Phoenix really hide in such a place?” Lin Yuewei still had her doubts.
“The possibility is very high. I’ve always suspected that True Demon Aice isn’t dead,” Wang Ye said. “With her intelligence, if she faked her death and escaped, the first thing she would do would be to win over the desperate Fire Phoenix.”
“Even a rotten ship would have three nails. Demonic Awakening has been deep in the White Eagle Federation for many years, and their spies are everywhere. If they want to lay low and develop, the most suitable place is the White Eagle Federation. Especially with the recent attack from the Sea King Merman, the White Eagle Federation, which was already on the verge of collapse, is in chaos. This is a good opportunity. With True Demon Aice’s cunning and cautiousness, she naturally wouldn’t do it herself. The best choice is to entrust Fire Phoenix as a chess piece.”
Lin Yuewei nodded. “But the Ashley Islands are huge. Did Samuel mention where she is?”
“One of the ten great volcanoes in the world, Kpasya Volcano. Evolvers won’t go near that place,” Wang Ye said. “But for fire elemental-type ability users, it’s one of the best places to cultivate.”
How did Samuel know?” Lin Yuewei asked in surprise. “Has he been here?”
“Maybe it’s his special ability.” Wang Ye thought for a moment. “Whether it’s true or not, we’ll know soon enough.”
“Yeah.”
Kpasya Volcano.
Lava surged.
The fire element was extremely active.
Cultivating here was indeed twice the result with half the effort, but Fire Phoenix had never liked such a desolate place.
Being trapped in the volcano made her feel very unhappy. It brought back memories of the slums.
The ugly, dirty men who reeked of alcohol disgusted her.
However, True Demon Aice was right. She had nowhere else to go.
Just like in the past, either she would sink to the bottom or she could stake everything on becoming the strongest one!
She would use her strength to wash away her dirty past!
Now, who still remembered her past?
The men who had touched her had all either been tortured to death by her, eaten alive by monsters, or bitten to death.
She loved to watch hyenas play with those trash and tear them into pieces. It was extremely comfortable!
She would lay low and wait for the opportunity to come. She swore to become the queen who ruled the entire world!
So what if she cooperated with the demonic humans?
Either way, she was never a good person!
She was very powerful. As long as Death God Nante and Wang Ye disappeared, no one would be able to stop her.
Aice was using her?
Wasn’t she also using Aice?
“Wang Ye…” Wang Ye’s appearance appeared in Fire Phoenix’s mind, and her breathing quickened.
She had a deep fear of this young man. He was the only man who could conquer her, but she did not want to see him again.
Never!
Every time she met him, nothing good happened. She was reduced to this state because of Wang Ye!
Fire Phoenix did not dare to hate him. She only hoped that he would disappear from her world as soon as possible…
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Her heartbeat was inexplicably fast and her body could not stop trembling. Her consciousness sensed a familiar aura, making her tremble all over. She was drenched in sweat, and her legs went weak.
Raising her head, she saw a figure that made her shudder floating in the air above the crater. It was extremely tall.
No!” Fire Phoenix’s eyes were filled with fear.
She was finished.
This time, it was really over.
Wang Ye was puzzled.
Fire Phoenix had surrendered immediately.
What was her intention?
At least resist!
This gave him no sense of accomplishment!
“What do you want me to do? Just say it.” Fire Phoenix looked at Wang Ye without any courage to resist.
There was no need. Since she couldn’t beat him, she shouldn’t ask for trouble.
“Follow me.” Wang Ye glanced at her and didn’t say anything else.
The three of them slowly flew into the sky.
Gradually, they escaped from gravity.
Wang Ye had Fire Phoenix fly at the top while he and Lin Yuewei flew below.
He spread his consciousness around and tried to sense that invisible existence. A faint sense of unease enveloped him.
The closer he got to the sky above the Blue Planet, the deeper the feeling.
It was a feeling of touching a barrier. It was very close and very dangerous.
“What would happen if 1 was taken away by the red light?” Fire Phoenix suddenly spoke.
“You won’t die.” Wang Ye answered concisely.
A woman who could become the leader of the Lone Ranger faction was naturally not stupid. She was just blinded by ambition.
“Is it scarier than death?” Fire Phoenix smiled hideously.
Wang Ye looked at her and said meaningfully, “To you, being taken away by the red light isn’t necessarily a bad thing. You might have a chance of survival. If you stay on the Blue Planet, even if you don’t die in my hands, you’ll definitely be killed by True Demon Aice in the future.”
“How did you find me?” Fire Phoenix’s expression changed. “Aice told you!”
“Yes.” Wang Ye didn’t hesitate.
Fire Phoenix glanced at Wang Ye, then said to Lin Yuewei, “This is a man who loves to lie. Little sister, don’t be deceived by him.”
Wang Ye chuckled.
Was it useful to sow discord now?
It seemed that Fire Phoenix didn’t know where True Demon Aice was. It made sense though. It was impossible for Aice to treat her as one of her own.
Lin Yuewei snorted. “I’m delighted. What’s it got to do with you?”
Fire Phoenix seemed to have thought it through as well. She chuckled and said, “I envy you very much, little sister. Although he’s very lecherous, at least he treats people sincerely, unlike me… That group of men were all fawning over me, but none of them were sincere!”
Wang Ye glanced at her.
There must be something hateful about a pitiful person.
They didn’t continue chatting.
Wang Ye got increasingly uneasy when he was nearly 100 kilometers from the ground.
He had a feeling of being watched. It was as if a pair of invisible eyes were staring at him.
His heartbeat accelerated.
Wang Ye knew he was in danger, but he would not retreat.
Even if he died, he did not want to be taken away by the red light and become a commodity or a slave.
If he couldn’t control his fate, what was the point of living?
He would just be a walking corpse.
He didn’t expect the kindness of a high-grade cosmic civilization, nor would he place his hopes on others.
He would rely on himself!
He would make bold deductions and careful verification.
Wang Ye released an ability shield to block in front of him. If there was really an invisible barrier, his power would be the first to touch it.
They went beyond 100 kilometers and kept approaching the threshold, getting close to a terrifying existence.
The feeling of being stared at grew stronger and stronger!
At the same time, His heart was beating faster and faster!
Suddenly–
Wang Ye widened his eyes and looked up.
What was this?
Grids!
Dense energy grids covered the sky!
It was horrifying!
It was like an incomparably huge cage that imprisoned all humans!
This was the source of the terrifying feeling!
These were the eyes that were staring at him!
At this moment, Wang Ye’s heart turned cold.
He could feel how terrifying the energy grid was. It contained a huge amount of energy that surpassed all pinnacle level 9 monsters.
Cosmic-level energy field!
Blockade!
The seal of a high-grade cosmic civilization.
There was no way out!
“Pa!” Fire Phoenix was the first to touch the energy grid, and her brows furrowed slightly.
In an instant, she retreated, and then boundless fire elements fell toward the energy grid.
Layers of ripples appeared, and the energy grid simply flickered with light, absorbing all the fire elements.
It was like an impenetrable shield, without any flaws.
No, the energy is decreasing.” Wang Ye could see it.
The entire energy grid was one. Once the energy in one part was consumed, it would be quickly replenished.
It was just like how water would immediately be evenly distributed after a spoonful was taken.
To crack it, one would have to use power beyond the energy grid, which was cosmic-level attack power.
But it was useless.
Wang Ye was almost certain that once he unleashed a cosmic-level attack and broke through the energy grid, it would trigger the red light.
This was the energy grid set up by Moon Web, and it was also red light mechanism 3 that had never been triggered by anyone before.
There was no solution!
