"This... Xueyi is not clear, but I think the Alliance or the IPC should have records," Xueyi replied.

Lin Qi was not surprised by this answer.

After all, she was previously just a judge of the Ten-Lords Commission, not someone working in the Sky-Faring Commission or the Seat of Divine Foresight.

Otherwise, she should have been able to access more information.

But this was enough.

At least he had figured out the Wingweavers' purpose and their "Achilles' heel."

After a little thought, Lin Qi opened his phone and sent a message to Topaz.

【Curio in the Forest: You there?】

【Topaz: No.】

【Curio in the Forest: It's not about that thing. This time it's urgent. Help me out, Director Topaz.】

【Topaz: Then tell me.】

【Curio in the Forest: Help me find the coordinates of the Wingweavers' homeland, Qiongsang. I have a big use for it.】

【Topaz: Wingweavers? How did you provoke them? Oh, it seems they are provoking you now. But why are you looking for Qiongsang's coordinates? You aren't going to attack them, are you? I advise you not to do that; even the Xianzhou Alliance hasn't done so.】

【Curio in the Forest: Don't worry, I'm not that stupid. Isn't it a holiday? I'm thinking of sending them a small gift.】

【Topaz: Then do you think I'm stupid?】

Topaz replied while looking for the coordinates Lin Qi needed.

For such important information, the IPC usually marks it as a priority, so she could find it quickly.

【Curio in the Forest: Thanks. When we meet again, I'll treat you to a meal.】

【Topaz: A boxed lunch, right? Thanks a lot.】

【Curio in the Forest: Talk later. By the way, help me send an evacuation notice to the unrelated personnel still near Qiongsang. Never mind, send it a few more times, lest they don't take it seriously.】

【Topaz:???】

Pier Point.

Topaz didn't handle work for the moment, but stared blankly at her phone.

Only the person she was chatting with had stopped replying.

However, what made Topaz stunned was not because Lin Qi didn't reply to her, but the last message Lin Qi sent.

Evacuation?

Under what circumstances would one need to evacuate people? Topaz could only think of disasters and war.

So...

Is Lin Qi going to launch a war against the Wingweavers?

But does Lin Qi have an army?

Although Topaz didn't know everything about Lin Qi, she knew quite a bit.

She couldn't be sure about other things, but at least she was sure Lin Qi definitely didn't have an army.

After all, an army cannot be hidden; as long as it starts to be formed, there will definitely be traces.

If there are no traces, it can only mean the scale is too small.

And this would make it impossible to participate in interstellar war.

"Really, would it kill you to explain one more sentence!"

Topaz complained.

However, she still followed Lin Qi's instructions and sent an emergency evacuation notice to the unrelated personnel near the Qiongsang coordinates, such as explorers, scientific research teams, etc.

And it was in the name of the IPC.

Then, Topaz looked at the universe outside the porthole and muttered to herself.

"This is all I can do."

"Lin Qi..."

"Don't you dare die."

Xianzhou Alliance.

Yaoqing.

A report sent from Yuque was urgently delivered to the office of the Yaoqing's General of the Sky-Faring.

"General, the Yuque Xianzhou has sent an inspection report."

"Bring it here for me to see."

The speaker was a Foxian woman with a heroic face and a beautiful appearance.

But at a glance, what one would notice first would not be her appearance, but the terrifying power hidden within her body.

This is the Yaoqing's General of the Sky-Faring, nicknamed the "General of Great Victories."

Throughout the year, she is either out conquering monsters or on the way to conquer monsters.

It is no exaggeration to say that she is the sharpest arrow among the Hunt's arrows.

However, at this moment.

This General of the Sky-Faring frowned slightly.

"Wingweavers gathering abnormally, heading towards an unknown star sector? Suspected of having a major move? Tsk, who wrote this report? Presenting it without a clear investigation?"

Feixiao complained, then continued to ask her subordinate.

"Has anything major happened recently?"

"Major events... it seems not."

The subordinate tried hard to recall, but really couldn't think of anything that could be called a major event.

"Nothing? Then the Wingweavers' movements are very suspicious," Feixiao pondered.

"Could they have found a Stellaron?" the subordinate guessed.

"Not very likely."

Feixiao shook her head and continued, "If it were just a Stellaron, they wouldn't need to mobilize so many troops. A rough estimate is that this is almost half of the Wingweavers' military strength. There must be something else that makes them so concerned."

At this time, a squinting Foxian physician suddenly spoke.

"General, do you remember what happened on the Luo Fu a few months ago?"

"Oh~"

Feixiao was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly, "Hahaha, I remember, I remember! The Luofu lost big that time; thousands of Cloud Knights and judges couldn't take down a small Diviner. Next time I see Jing Yuan, I must mock him properly."

"The point is not that, but what that Diviner mastered," the Foxian physician Jiaoqiu added.

"I know, the Any Door, right?" Feixiao nodded, "Are you saying the Wingweavers are after this curio?"

Jiaoqiu opened his eyes slightly and gave his conclusion.

"Yes, to be precise, it is the creator of this curio, Lin Qi."

Feixiao was silent for a moment and asked in confusion, "As far as I know, the Any Door is extremely convenient for teleportation. There are quite a few people within the Alliance who are interested in it. The Any Door in Dr. Lin Qi's hands is even more powerful than that small Diviner's. How can the Wingweavers be so confident they can catch him?"

"Perhaps... it has to do with the characteristics of Qiongsang?" Jiaoqiu guessed, "General should know that Qiongsang branch tips can jump, and even pin down prey. Although the Qiongsang mother tree has been damaged, the weapons forged from it may not lack similar effects. Perhaps they can restrict the use of the Any Door?"

"I see."

Feixiao was thoughtful.

Although Jiaoqiu was only guessing, no one could guarantee that the Wingweavers didn't have such capabilities.

If they really did, then whether the besieged Lin Qi could escape again.

Was an unknown.

At that time.

The Any Door, and even its manufacturing technology, might fall into the hands of the Wingweavers.

The threat to the Alliance would be hard to assess.

"General, should we support him?" Jiaoqiu asked.

"Reasonably speaking, we have no relationship with him, but considering the worst-case scenario, we must support him," Feixiao made a judgment.

The two had a consensus, which was that the Any Door must never fall into the hands of the Abundance-kin.

But...

"How is the preparation of the Cloud Knights?"

"The last crusade hasn't ended too long ago, and the soldiers are still resting."

"Understood."
