C609 Female Rights Activist 4

After listening to their conversation, Woo Zhengyang understood that their sacred artifact had similar abilities to his Star World, but its coverage was much smaller.

"Aren't you supposed to know everything? Didn't you say dealing with Moon Light Martial Mansion would be a piece of cake?" Woo Zhengyang said to Lee Yuanye, clearly annoyed.

Such crucial information, and he had no idea. They had rushed in blindly, thinking they could turn Moon Light Martial Mansion upside down. Now, even the Invincible Cannon Car was stuck.

"I'm frustrated too! The old man never mentioned this to me!" Lee Yuanye replied angrily.

"Hmph, I warned you not to be arrogant. It's too late for regrets now. However, if you hand over your treasure and tell me how to use it, I might let you off this time."

No wonder the Black-robed Holy Nun had stopped. She had her eyes on the Invincible Cannon Car. Woo Zhengyang quickly figured out her plan.

She was at the Sovereign level, but she couldn't leave Moon Light Martial Mansion. The Invincible Cannon Car, though clunky, was mobile and incredibly powerful. Acquiring it would be a huge advantage for Moon Light Martial Mansion, giving them more leverage against the Heavenly Mirror Pavilion.

"Are you serious about this? If I hand over this treasure, we can leave?"

"I'm not like you men with your empty promises. I mean what I say. But don't get it twisted—I said you can leave, but as for him..." The Black-robed Holy Nun glanced at Woo Zhengyang, smiling without a word.

Woo Zhengyang felt uneasy under her gaze, as if she could see right through him. It wasn't about her power level; it was the strength of her soul energy. Clearly, the Black-robed Holy Nun was extraordinary, possibly even trained in soul techniques.

"Man, Zhengyang, this is complicated! We need to make a run for it. Luckily, I have a way to break the star seal. Otherwise, we'd be in deep trouble. Hide in the Star World, and I'll get us out!" Lee Yuanye communicated telepathically.

Lee Yuanye's determination not to abandon him gave Woo Zhengyang some comfort; at least he hadn't misjudged his friend.

"Isn't the Invincible Cannon Car supposed to withstand even a Martial Emperor's attack? Why run?"

"It can hold up, but it's too cumbersome. If she were just a Martial King, even at the Perfection Stage, I'd blast the Moon Light Martial Mansion to pieces with the Invincible Cannon Car. But she's a Sovereign. I can't defeat her, and hiding in the car won't help. Eventually, we'll run out of spirit crystals. It's better to retreat now and come back stronger!"

From Lee Yuanye's words, it was clear that this guy was indeed quite powerful. Even against an expert at the Perfection Stage, he could hold his own. Unfortunately, they were unlucky enough to run into a Sovereign and ended up right in their territory. No wonder Lee Yuanye felt so defeated, sighing deeply.

"So, haven't you made up your mind yet? I heard this kid is just a lucky country boy who once tried to extort you. Why are you so concerned about him?"

"Cut the nonsense. I'm a stand-up guy, loyal and honorable, not someone who would betray a friend. Do you think you can corner me? If I want to leave, none of you can stop me!" Lee Yuanye declared defiantly.

...

"It seems you're not planning to settle this peacefully. Do you really think that just because you're the young master of the Heavenly Mirror Pavilion, I won't dare to kill you? Even if you don't talk, I have my ways to make you reveal the secret of controlling this treasure!"

The black-robed woman from the Moon Light Martial Mansion, whom Lee Yuanye referred to as a feminist, decisively continued her attack after hearing Lee's bluff. As soon as she spoke, the crescent moon shadow behind her began to solidify again. The sky dimmed as the moon above darkened, leaving only the crescent blade in her hand shining brighter.

"I'll leave this treasure with you for now. Take good care of it, and I'll come back for it later!" Lee Yuanye declared, placing his white jade tower, now the size of a person, atop the Invincible Cannon Car. He turned to Woo Zhengyang, "Zhengyang, get in quickly!"

In his other hand, Lee Yuanye held a peculiar jade talisman, his Breakthrough Talisman, ready to whisk them away once Woo Zhengyang entered the tower. However, Woo Zhengyang stood frozen, seemingly in a daze, making no move to enter.

"Haha... That guy's so scared by the Holy Nun that he doesn't even know how to run," one of the disciples from the Moon Light Martial Mansion mocked.

"Of course, they probably never imagined our Holy Nun is at the Sovereign level. How dare they cause trouble here, hmph..."

"Zhengyang, what's wrong? Don't you trust me? My Breakthrough Talisman will definitely get us out of here!" Lee Yuanye was getting anxious, even reaching out to pull Woo Zhengyang in.

Woo Zhengyang knew well that Lee Yuanye was loaded with treasures. This Breakthrough Talisman could bypass even his Star World, let alone the Moon Light Martial Mansion, which wasn't even a small world.

However, Woo Zhengyang wasn't planning on leaving just yet.

With a slight smile, Woo Zhengyang said to Lee Yuanye, "Yuanye, we're not at the end of our rope yet. Why leave now?"

"I'm leaving, Zhengyang. We're not completely out of options, but sticking around is just wasting resources!"

"Originally, we were close to being out of options, but I just thought of something. We don't need to rush out of here."

"What are you thinking? Zhengyang, don't mess around! That feminist is a Sovereign-level practitioner. Do you really want to risk getting caught by her?"

"You little punk, what did you say? Today, I'll make sure you both pay dearly!" The Black-robed Holy Nun was shaking with anger, swinging her blade once more.

"Boom..." The shield of the Invincible Cannon Car shuddered, dimming significantly, a sign it was running out of energy.

"Zhengyang, stop being stubborn. I'll get on my knees and beg if I have to. If we don't leave now, it'll be too late..." Lee Yuanye urged anxiously.

"You still haven't given up on me, even now. You're a true friend!" Woo Zhengyang said sincerely.

Though he and Lee Yuanye had always gotten along well, it often felt like they were using each other. Yet, in this moment of crisis, Lee Yuanye's refusal to abandon him filled Woo Zhengyang with immense gratitude.
