The Last Chance

Chapter 463 The Last Chance

"Sister, what are you talking about? Isn't the Fifth True Ancestor just a rumor? Even the Fourth True Ancestor might not be real." The crimson beauty said to the dark witch, who didn't believe her.

"No... I have no choice but to believe it now. That was definitely a familiar, a familiar far surpassing the familiars of the True Ancestors. I can't think of any other possibility besides the Fifth True Ancestor," the Dark Witch said in a panic.

"How could I..." The Crimson Witch wanted to deny it, but she couldn't convince herself of her emotions.

She didn't believe it, but she was afraid it was true, because if it were true, they would be finished.

"Looks like you're not so stupid after all," Shi Chen chuckled softly.

"It really is the Fifth True Ancestor... and he's even Nayue's younger brother!" The Dark Witch refused to believe it.

She finally understood why Shi Chengang had said this was his territory; this was the territory of the Fifth True Ancestor!

"Please, please spare us, Fifth Ancestor, I beg you..." The Crimson Witch pleaded without hesitation.

No matter how arrogant she was, she knew she was no match for the True Ancestor, and if she resisted, she might die even faster.

She didn't want to die.

The Dark Witch wasn't surprised by her sisters' actions. She landed on the ground, immediately knelt, and said in a desperate tone...

They said, "Fifth True Ancestor, we have not offended Itogami Island yet. We beg you to release us. We promise we will never offend it again."

Since the Fifth True Ancestor is real, they can no longer stay here, and there's no need for any plans anymore.

My life is more important.

"Fifth True Ancestor, please release us." The Crimson Witch also knelt down, her head touching the ground.

"Let you go? Do you think I'm easy to talk to?" Shi Chen asked expressionlessly.

He could let Yukina Himeragi and the others go, but he couldn't be lenient with these two witches.

Even though the two men were currently surrounded by female allure.

"What does the Fifth True Ancestor mean?" The dark witch raised her head, looking at him with surprise and uncertainty.

"You've bothered me, so you'll have to pay the price."

"The price? I understand. I'll let the Fifth True Ancestor do as he pleases!"

The Crimson Witch became excited and immediately took off her revealing clothes, exposing her alluring body.

"I see."

Without hesitation, the dark witch began to remove her clothes, and in an instant, she was naked just like the crimson beauty.

Their figures are indeed impressive, much better than La Fria's, but that's about it.

Shi Chen looked at the two calmly, his heart unmoved.

Even Xiaofengsha, who isn't particularly attractive, is far more charming than the two of them.

"You two, is there some misunderstanding?" Shi Chen asked.

"What does Lord Shinzo mean?"

"Who gave you the confidence that I would be interested in your bodies?"

The two should be very satisfied with their figures; in fact, objectively speaking, they are both well-endowed and attractive.

Unfortunately, time doesn't respond to such temptations.

He was only interested in the women he knew, was familiar with, and had liked for a long time, not other insignificant people who were just pretty faces and whom he vaguely remembered.

Not to mention, they are unforgivable sinners.

"Fifth True Ancestor, we..."

"

"It dirtied my eyes."

Shi Chen said coldly, then waved his hand, and a ball of golden flame flew towards the two of them.

The golden flames deliberately split into two balls along the way, flying towards the two people with a clear objective.

That is...

'

"Run!"

Just looking at those golden flames filled the dark witch with terror, and the hairs on her body stood on end.

Without hesitation, she grabbed the Crimson Witch and flew away, ignoring the clothes she had taken off.

But the two were no match for the speed of the sacred flame. In an instant, the flame caught up with them and enveloped them.

"Ugh—" The two screamed in pain instantly.

The burning of the sacred flame was excruciating; every cell in the body, from the skin to the bones, was being scorched.

Witches are cursed beings, and the purifying power of the sacred fire is fatal to them.

Enveloped in golden flames, the two people's delicate, snow-white skin was clearly visible, but Shichen didn't even look at them, only listening to their mournful cries until they gradually weakened and disappeared completely.

Shi Chen turned his head and saw the sacred flame flying over, but the two white figures had already been reduced to ashes.

He burned them alive until they turned to ashes.

That seems a bit cruel?

But when he thought about how many people those two had harmed, he came to terms with it.

He is doing this to rid the people of a scourge.

After putting away the flames, Shichen didn't rush to leave. Instead, he went to the rooftop of a building not far away.

"How much longer do you plan to watch?" Shi Chen asked, looking into the empty void.

Naturally, no one responded to him.

Shi Chen shook his head, stretched out his hand into the void, and ripples spread through the space. Then, a rather slender figure was lifted out of the ripples.

The girl, dressed in sportswear, with short hair and a delicate, spirited face, was none other than Akatsuki Yuuma, Akatsuki's childhood friend.

"Teacher Shi..." Sendou Yuma bit her lip, her expression complicated.

She had no questions, nor any explanations; at this moment, no explanation was needed.

"Heh, don't worry, I won't do anything to you." Seeing how nervous Sendou Yuma was, Tokishi couldn't help but comfort her.

"?" Sentoki Yuma looked at her in confusion.

"Don't be surprised, I will cooperate with you to find the prison barrier."

...Why?

"I just need someone to take the blame."

"I see, Teacher Shi, you also want to bring out Nangong Nayue." Sendou Yuma immediately understood what Shichen meant.

"You're smarter, even though you're a clone."

"Sendouki Yuma has no way to refute this."

Shichen was telling the truth; she was merely a one-sex replica of her mother, Xian Dumu Aye, and her purpose in existence was to rescue her mother.

"Don't overthink it. I don't mean to look down on you. On the contrary, I treat you as an equal," Shi Chen said softly.

"?" Sendou Yuma stared at him blankly.

"To me, it doesn't really matter whether it's an artificial life form or a clone. What matters is thought. As long as it has its own thoughts, it is an equal object."

"Your own thoughts... Teacher Shi, you really are a strange person, worthy of being the Fifth True Ancestor." Sendou Yuma smiled faintly.

"What does this have to do with the Fifth True Ancestor?"

"It shouldn't matter, right?"

"Why are you asking me that? Fine, I'll make you a promise, as long as you can complete the mission."

"promise?"

"At that time, I will allow you to live a normal life, together with the ancient city."

"Teacher Shi, you...?" Sendou Yuma looked at him in disbelief.

"I'm a good teacher."

Shichen smiled, turned and left, disappearing completely from Sento Muyuma's sight—a space she couldn't sense at all.

She shook her head with a wry smile. It turned out that all her efforts were in vain. If Teacher Shi hadn't allowed it, she couldn't have done anything at all.

However... just thinking about Shi Chen's admission made her heart race and she felt excited.

The next day, Shi Chen got up as if nothing had happened and then had breakfast with Aurora and the others.

Himeragi Yukina and the others didn't come. The space is unstable right now, and they might end up in some random place at any time.

Staying at home is the safest option.

"Chen, what are your plans for today?" La Fria asked after breakfast.

"No, what do you want?"

"It's so boring at home," La Freya said, snuggling closer to him, hugging his arm tightly, and acting coquettishly.

"...You want to go out and have fun, right?"

"Hehe~ Chen understands me best, he truly is my man." La Fria, like a little woman, pressed her head against his shoulder, rubbing back and forth.

"Come on."

"Let me go out and play!"

"What if you get transported to some weird, chaotic place?"

"Isn't this easy for you, Chen?" La Fria winked playfully at her.

"...Alright, let Sha Shihua follow you."

"Of course, she was originally my bodyguard."

"La Fria, can't you just stay home quietly?" Sayaka Kirasaka said helplessly.

"No, I haven't properly explored Itogami City yet, and besides, it's the Haruin Festival right now."

"Ugh."

"Let's bring Natsune along too." Tokichi caught sight of Natsune Yase staring at him expectantly.

"Great! I was just trying to get along well with Xia Yin, and maybe have a little ideological work with her."

"I won't ask what the exact time is, since the benefits will go to him."

He set up a spatial barrier around the three of them, and then let them play as they pleased; he didn't plan to follow them.

He has another important matter to attend to today, which is not to rescue Nangong Nayue, but to rescue her tonight.

Daytime is the last chance.

The space around Itogami Island is still unstable, but it only applies to those with strong magic and spiritual power, and he is among them.

Space is constantly reacting to him.

However, if he's unwilling, it's useless; but if he lets it go...

He quickly sensed that the location of this spatial teleportation was just right.

He stopped trying to stop them and, following the spatial fluctuations, arrived at someone's house.

"teacher.....?"

Wearing only a tank top that revealed her navel, Himeragi Yukina was stunned when she saw the hour that appeared before her.
