Four hours later, Gu Feng’s subordinates got the money and immediately boarded the ship.

They almost didn’t hesitate to start the boat and leave Dream Island. They obviously looked guilty, like thieves.

Gu Xiaoxi and Ai Xiang had hidden on their boat long ago, and in preparation for Gu Feng, they had made a lot of preliminary arrangements.

An hour later, the yacht entered the heart of the sea, and Gu Xiaoxi had figured out every inch of Gu Feng’s vessel.

At the same time, she had also changed her decision to assassinate Gu Feng to avenge her master.

Killing him directly would be letting him off too easily.

Besides, the assassination might bring trouble for her country, and even for herself. Moreover, as a soldier, the way she sought vengeance had to be through official channels.

"Gu Xiaoxi, you’re crazy. Maybe we won’t even be able to beat Gu Feng, and now you want to capture him!

Moreover, to arrest him, you must have solid evidence," Ai Xiang felt that assassination would settle everything, to capture him and then go through the International Alliance. That way, they could expose Gu Feng’s true colors to the world.

This was simply making a big detour and causing unnecessary trouble for themselves.

"If he dies, this matter will definitely be investigated. By then, we will cause unnecessary trouble. If the International Alliance does nothing, allowing Gu Feng to get away with cross-border killings, then it won’t be too late for me to take action," Gu Xiaoxi had thought it through thoroughly.

Ai Xiang fell silent for a moment, and had to admit that Gu Xiaoxi’s plan made sense. But if they couldn’t beat Gu Feng, all of this would be nonsense.

The existence of witchcraft was just too dark! Even he only knew the basics.

"Who’s there!" Just then, a crew member on the ship noticed something was off.

Gu Xiaoxi and Ai Xiang immediately hid in a secluded warehouse, and only after two bodyguards left, they quietly came out.

"As for the evidence, I will obtain it; I will get evidence of Gu Feng’s murders.

If there’s no conclusive evidence, the International Alliance won’t be able to punish Gu Feng," Gu Xiaoxi said with a serious expression, "Listen to me.

I know what to do, not just to get the evidence but also to make him confess to killing the master. To tamper with the Jade Watermelon."

The International Alliance must have grown accustomed to these nefarious artefacts, for this world has always known these ancient and incomprehensible spells and witchcraft.

After discussing, Gu Xiaoxi and Ai Xiang decided that Gu Xiaoxi would go find Gu Feng and try to get the evidence, while Ai Xiang quietly took care of some of the bodyguards on the ship.

After they had discussed their plan, they began to cooperate and divide the work.

In the afternoon, the water was dyed with the colors of the sun, and the luxury yacht suddenly stopped in the middle of the ocean.

"Who has trespassed on my boat!" Gu Feng stared fiercely ahead with a pair of world-weary eyes.

At that moment, ten bodyguards surrounded Gu Xiaoxi.

Gu Feng walked towards Gu Xiaoxi with a menacing expression.

Standing in front of Gu Xiaoxi, he sized up the girl before him; in her twenties, standing elegant and graceful, especially her face, which radiated a delicate and vivid charm at all times.

At first glance, she was very beautiful, especially with that high-bridged nose and deep, large eyes—a peerless beauty indeed.

"Why did you infiltrate my boat?" Faced with this unfamiliar girl, a glint of bloodthirst appeared in Gu Feng’s eyes. He planned to capture her and make her his sacrificial bride.

Surrounded, Gu Xiaoxi remained composed and lifted her chin, her face showing a contemptuous smile, "I just want to ask you, what grudge did you have with my master Liu Yishou? Why did you kill him and steal his treasures?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Feng immediately furrowed his brows, sized up Gu Xiaoxi again, and then with a cynical smile said, "You think you can avenge him just because you are his disciple?"

"What, do you think I can’t?" Gu Xiaoxi quickly struck out at the bodyguards surrounding her. Her small fist, seemingly fragile and boneless, was unstoppable when striking, and in an instant, several bodyguards were sent flying.

Gu Feng watched but didn’t even blink, a sinister smile curling on his lips, "Since you are Liu Yishou’s disciple, I’ll not be courteous. Men, capture her and tie her up for me."

As he spoke, another twenty agile bodyguards appeared.

Gu Xiaoxi was suddenly surrounded by more than twenty people.

In no time, Gu Xiaoxi was knocked to the ground.

Gu Feng looked at Gu Xiaoxi, who had been defeated so quickly, and sneered, "So, this is the disciple of Liu Yishou. Since you’ve come seeking death, I will grant it to you. But..."

Gu Feng let out an evil laugh, draped in his snowy white robe, sitting on the sofa opposite Gu Xiaoxi, his tone arrogant, "My palace still lacks a bride of peerless beauty. Don’t worry, I’ll only extract your soul and keep your beautiful body for my use.

Gu Xiaoxi, gritting her teeth, struggled to rise from the ground, a deadly seriousness flashing in her eyes, "Dream on! You cross borders to kill and infringe upon my nation’s dignity. You think to control me, let me tell you, I’ve seen through your Evil Arts long ago..."

Gu Xiaoxi wanted to say more, but suddenly felt a tightness in her throat, and moments later, it was as if an invisible hand was choking her neck, and she could say no more.

She looked at Gu Feng in shock.

"Let me tell you, killing you is as simple as crushing an ant. The disciple of Liu Yishou, let me tell you, even your master couldn’t defeat me, his throat was easily slit by me in the night.

If you’re thinking of vengeance, don’t even think about it.

Also, that Jade Watermelon, I did indeed enchant it with Evil Arts, whoever touches it will die.

You’re just a green girl, hahaha, if not for the fact that your skin has some use, I could let you die without a place to bury you right now.

" Gu Feng’s aged palms toyed with the scepter in his hand, displaying an arrogant, condescending demeanor.

Glowing with malice, Gu Xiaoxi narrowed her eyes and chuckled coldly; she had been waiting for Gu Feng to say this. As the supreme ruler, to personally cross borders to kill, it seemed his time as Pharaoh was up.

To kill is to pay with one’s life, and moreover, the lives of seven people from the Liu Family. Even if he held great power, the people of the ancient country weren’t all fools to continue supporting such a ruler.

In any country, there are many who eye power with a predatory gaze.

A sly smile crossed Gu Xiaoxi’s eyes, just now she had merely been making pure attacks and hadn’t used her real strength.

Since she had already recorded the evidence of Gu Feng’s murder, there was no longer any need for her to pretend.

Suddenly, Gu Xiaoxi stood up from the ground and in her hands were two daggers.

"I’ve said it before. Don’t think you can kill and escape unpunished. The International Alliance is not to be trifled with, Gu Feng! Both morally and logically, I will not let you go." Gu Xiaoxi brandished her daggers and charged directly at Gu Feng.

In the blink of an eye, she was at Gu Feng’s side.

Gu Feng had not anticipated that Gu Xiaoxi, having just been knocked down, could muster such explosive power so quickly.

He immediately stood up and backed away, his speed so fast it could be likened to a white colt flashing past.

But no sooner had he steadied his stance than Gu Xiaoxi’s knives were at his throat.

"I don’t care what witchcraft or god-defying powers you know. Today I will capture you," Gu Xiaoxi said coldly, anger burning in her beautiful, fierce eyes.

Unperturbed, Gu Feng simply looked up at Gu Xiaoxi’s face and snorted coldly, "Little girl, do you even know what witchcraft is?"

As he spoke, Gu Xiaoxi immediately felt a chill coming from behind her.

The next second, her hands and feet were bound by a strange force.

Gu Xiaoxi was shocked; could this be Gu Feng’s witchcraft?

Previously, Liu Yishou had been injured at his hands but had ultimately returned safely.

Now, having made a breakthrough in her cultivation, her skills were not inferior to Liu Yishou’s. She believed that even if she were to lose, it wouldn’t be a disgraceful defeat.

"Thinking that can hold me?" Gu Xiaoxi quickly circulated her Inner Strength, clenching her hand hard, and instantly broke free from the force binding her.

"Didn’t expect you to have some skill!" Gu Feng let out an evil chuckle, his dark eyes flickering with malevolence. Then, he confidently chanted an ancient spell.

Gu Xiaoxi couldn’t understand and didn’t have time to ponder over it; she just swung her daggers, rushing at Gu Feng once again.

The moment her dagger was about to slice his throat, an invisible force countered her dagger. Although just millimeters away from piercing Gu Feng, she could not believe it was forcibly blocked by him.

"What witchcraft is this now?" Gu Xiaoxi exclaimed in shock, because the next second, an invisible force pressed her down to the ground.

It was as if a great mountain had suddenly been placed on her back in an instant, threatening to tear her internal organs apart, so much so, she heard the sound of her kneecaps breaking. And yet, there was nothing around her!

The scene looked terrifying. Enduring the pain, Gu Xiaoxi held on to her daggers tightly; she hadn’t expected Gu Feng to be so powerful.
