Li Jia Yi, understanding immediately, withdrew his domain and made a swift exit.
On the other end, Bai Ye had done all he could. Whether Hamir and Li Jia Yi could escape was no longer his concern. Transforming into a current of electricity, Bai Ye vanished.
About fifteen minutes later, Bai Ye appeared on the rooftop of a hotel.
He went downstairs and stopped before the door of a presidential suite.
Presidential suites were for the wealthy and influential, naturally not occupied at ordinary times. Electronic doors posed no challenge for Bai Ye. A trace of electricity surged from his fingertips, and the door automatically opened.
Bai Ye entered, closed the door, and sank into the sofa.
Now, all he could do was wait.
The plan should theoretically have succeeded, but he didn't know if it had in reality.
On one hand, it depended on whether Li Jia Yi and Hamir could escape. On the other, although the Sky Eye Wave Sensing tactical vehicle was destroyed, did Situ Chi Cheng have other means to track them?
And besides Situ Chi Cheng's situation, Bai Ye was also waiting for...
Li Jia Yi!
"I've kept my promise," Bai Ye murmured. "I hope you will too!"
As Bai Ye pondered, he casually tossed out two Beast Balls, having Milotic and Gengar stand guard for him. Then, he closed his eyes and drifted into a semi-conscious state.
The continuous battles had indeed been exhausting. Those fellows like Situ Chi Cheng were not easy to deal with.
When he awoke, it was already past midnight. Bai Ye rubbed his eyes, turned on the television, and then opened the refrigerator to find something to eat.
As expected of a presidential suite, the refrigerator was fully stocked. Bai Ye casually took out a pack of instant ham and a bottle of beer, then sat back on the sofa.
On the television screen, despite the late hour, the scene was still lively. The broadcast focused on the destruction and casualties caused by a few individuals.
Furthermore, the Hunter Alliance, the Hunter Committee, and the Hunter Oversight Council, the three highest organizations for hunters, had jointly announced that hunters would pursue the criminals with all their might.
However, Bai Ye felt that these words were just for show.
Situ Chi Cheng had pursued Hamir all night, but where were the hunters?
When Bai Ye and the other two had engaged Situ Chi Cheng, the fight had been so intense that it darkened the sky and earth. Some shops by the river were completely shattered. Where were the hunters then?
The combat level had already surpassed what the hunters could handle.
Even their greatest reliance, technological weaponry, was outmatched by the technology wielded by the two Iron Blood Warriors.
The hunters wouldn't dare to get involved in such a fight.
Bai Ye wasn't watching the news to listen to the hunters brag. He was primarily looking for follow-up reports.
The good news was that there were none. This meant that Li Jia Yi and Hamir should have also escaped successfully.
Moreover, after more than ten hours, there had been no new developments from Situ Chi Cheng's side. This indicated that, apart from the Sky Eye Wave Sensing tactical vehicle, Situ Chi Cheng likely had no other means to uncover them.
So, the problem now was Li Jia Yi.
Bai Ye walked to the window, opened a small gap, and gazed out at the night sky.
Suddenly, a flash of lightning split the dark night, illuminating the surroundings.
About five minutes later, Bai Ye's Den Den Mushi rang.
Li Jia Yi's voice, laced with gritted teeth, came through: "What do you want?"
Bai Ye replied, "I've always believed that a person should have integrity. Only by doing what they say can they be considered a person."
Li Jia Yi said, "The matter isn't over yet. There's still more than a day left until the wish mission ends."
Bai Ye stated, "The Sky Eye Wave Sensing tactical vehicle is destroyed, and now, over ten hours have passed with no action from Situ Chi Cheng. This means they are basically incapacitated. However, do you believe I can make them find you?"
"Just say it. Why cause trouble for everyone?" Li Jia Yi sighed. "What do you think the World Battlefield is?"
Bai Ye responded, "A damned, broken place."
"I didn't ask for your opinion," Li Jia Yi said helplessly. "Forget it. Let's put it this way: everyone believes the World Battlefield was created by unknown gods. There are many rumors about it. You should have heard them, right?"
"Mhm!" Bai Ye replied. "The most widespread rumor is that the gods were too bored and wanted some entertainment."
"Heh heh..." Li Jia Yi let out a hollow laugh, clearly disagreeing with this notion. He then asked, "Are the God Disciples people who work for the gods?"
Bai Ye asked, "Aren't they? You said so before."
"I did say that," Li Jia Yi conceded. "But this leads to the first question: if the World Battlefield was built by gods, would they still need God Disciples to do their bidding? Everything within the World Battlefield belongs to the gods. What can't they get? In fact, everything we possess is granted by the gods, isn't it?"
Bai Ye frowned. "So, you're suggesting the World Battlefield wasn't built by gods?"
"You can guess slowly," Li Jia Yi said. "However, building on my previous question, a second question arises: if gods truly need people to do things for them in the World Battlefield, are they the controllers of everything, or participants?"
Bai Ye countered, "Then isn't there a third question: why don't the gods intervene personally?"
"Wow, that's a good question," Li Jia Yi chuckled. "Why do they need God Disciples?"
Bai Ye replied, "You're playing a game of nesting dolls with me. These kinds of deductive questions are hard to answer, and one question leads to another."
"Perhaps," Li Jia Yi shrugged. "Actually, I think I've revealed enough. Do you dare say that these two questions haven't given you any enlightenment?"
Bai Ye stated, "You promised you would tell me what you know."
Li Jia Yi replied, "I said I would tell you, but I didn't say how much I would reveal."
Bai Ye sneered, "Are you playing word games with me here?"
"Think whatever you want. It's useless even if you threaten me with more lightning. I've said what I can. At worst, we go our separate ways. Do you think those God Disciples aren't looking for you? Time is really this tight. If everyone exposes themselves, they might not have time to bother with me and Hamir."
Bai Ye warned, "A reminder, the wish mission isn't over yet. Do you know who my target is?"
"Alright, alright," Li Jia Yi sighed. "Given that you're being hunted by God Disciples, and with your strength, you'll eventually touch upon these matters, I'll give you one more small hint."
Bai Ye asked, puzzled, "Mhm?"
Li Jia Yi said, "Penglai, Fanghu, Yingzhou. Any of these three places will do. If you have a chance, go take a look yourself. I believe after seeing them, you'll understand many things."
