I Can Grant Origin Powers To Anything

Inside that simple inn.

When Chi Yu Xing Hen learned of the worst news, his face turned ashen as if it were iron.

"Are you sure you saw Ming Step being captured alive with your own eyes?!"

"Yes, I saw it," the subordinate replied.

Shang Youya’s face was also extremely grim. They both understood the implications of their comrade being captured alive.

"Ming Step is not someone who fears death easily."

Chi Yu Xing Hen’s expression was grave, and he said coldly, "Besides, this mission was just to assassinate a minor Qi Gathering Realm Martial Artist. Theoretically and practically, failure was impossible."

He paused and added, "Even considering the worst-case scenario, if she did fail, she had enough time to bite down on the explosives in her mouth and die for our clan. But now that she’s been captured alive, what kind of a profound cultivation must one possess to make Ming Step unable to even commit suicide? She should have had enough time." freeweɓnøvel.com

He angrily slammed his fist on the table and said, "It couldn’t be that Ming Step was so deluded into believing her chances were good that she forgot about suicide, only to realize it was too late, could it? Do you think such an absurd thing could happen?"

"I have no idea what happened," the subordinate said.

Shang Youya knelt on the ground, his expression terrified, and said, "I was following orders, observing from outside to prevent someone from spying on us. There were indeed some noises from inside, but unless one was paying attention, they were hardly audible... After the noises stopped, I saw the Armed Police Department arrive, and then Ming Step was captured alive. The Criminal Investigation Department also came to assist, and by then, it was too late for me to attempt a rescue."

"Sir!"

Suddenly, a person hurriedly rushed in from outside, shouting, "I followed orders and secretly used equipment to track Feng Zhichen and found that he just bought a ticket to return to the Imperial Capital early tomorrow morning."

"Indeed, the worst-case scenario has happened."

Chi Yu Xing Hen smiled bitterly, "In the end, we startled the snake. Feng Zhichen probably realized that we haven’t given up on assassinating him."

"Sir, it’s bad news. Just now, Qingzhou City went into full lockdown."

Another clan member with a different assignment rushed in, panicked, shouting, "It just started; the whole Qingzhou City is under full lockdown, and the Armed Police Department is conducting a house-to-house search for our whereabouts."

"It seems Ming Step’s identity has indeed been compromised."

Chi Yu Xing Hen sighed deeply, closing his eyes, with a pained expression in them.

He didn’t understand how things could have developed to this point.

His only intention was to lie in wait like a hunter, yet the plan faltered at the very first step.

They were merely going to kill a Martial Artist with low power, using a force comparable to True Transformation Martial Artists, particularly specialized in assassination, who were high-level Chi Yu Race, targeting a Martial Artist who had just broken through to the Qi Gathering Realm.

Outside, there was also Shang Youya, whose abilities were in no way inferior to Ming Step, providing support.

He couldn’t see anything wrong with this approach; it was obviously like a lion pouncing on a rabbit, going all out.

It’s not like they’d need to deploy dozens of people just to kill a mere Qi Gathering Martial Artist... But why, why did it come to this?

Ming Step, who was supposed to succeed, inexplicably failed, and not only failed but failed so much that she didn’t even have the chance to self-detonate and was captured alive.

The Chi Yu clan had made enormous sacrifices, keeping a secret for over a decade, only for it to be completely exposed under the eyes of the entire Qingzhou City. Needless to say, they must have informed the Imperial Capital about this.

And now, the Imperial Capital is starting to purge our mysterious race.

Chi Yu Xing Hen took a deep breath, opened his eyes, now filled with steadfast determination.

Although there are many unanswered questions, at this point, there aren’t many choices left for him to dwell on.

So, things have become rather simple.

He said solemnly, "Everyone, although we don’t know what unexpected event happened with Ming Step, it’s undeniable that because of her, our secret of entering the Blue Star has probably been compromised. I have absolute trust in Ming Step’s loyalty, but I also firmly believe that once she is handed over to the Imperial Capital, those despicable humans have countless ways to extract the information they want from her mind. Everyone, our existence, our details, will likely be exposed soon enough."

At this, everyone’s face turned exceedingly grave.

They have been lurking on Blue Star for many years, ensuring that their existence remains undiscovered. If they ever gained the slightest upper hand in a fight with the enemy, they would choose to self-destruct without hesitation, giving the enemy no chance to exploit.

Throughout these years, no one knows how many clan members have sacrificed to keep this secret.

Yet, now all those sacrifices were for nothing.

"Now, there are only two choices left for us."

Chi Yu Xing Hen said gravely, "Either we immediately abandon everything we have and escape Blue Star’s barrier through smuggled ships, returning to our homeland, back to Chi Yu Planet, living out our lives as exiled winged ones."

Upon hearing this, no one replied.

Exile Wing is a punishment for the most heinous crimes.

Even if the authorities will explain that they sacrificed for the clan, it’s imaginable that when they return home, they will face eyes filled with discrimination and strangeness.

"Or continue with our plan, burning the last of our lives, showing those vile humans the final glory of our Chi Yu clan!"

Chi Yu Xing Hen proclaimed loudly, "Our target Feng Zhichen is set to return to the Imperial Capital early tomorrow. Once he enters the Imperial Capital, we will completely lose the opportunity to kill him. Feng Zhichen has brought so much pain to our Chi Yu clan; we cannot just let him go so easily. Though we have been exposed, there is still hope!"

"Sir, just say the word, and we will follow your lead!"

A fervent excitement appeared in Shang Youya’s eyes as he said, "In our current state, even if we return home, we will only be seen with contempt in our lifetime and will bear the stigma of failure... It’s better to sacrifice ourselves for the clan here; perhaps we’ll have a chance to enter the Holy Spirit Hall."

"Indeed, sir, whatever you command."

"Sir, we’re with you."

............

The Chi Yu Race members responded in unison.

Since accepting the Execution by Owl Wing, their fate was sealed, destined to die in a foreign land; even upon returning, they could never be heroes.

Given that, it’s better to leave behind a posthumous name, and perhaps win a better future for their families.

Chi Yu Xing Hen looked around with satisfaction and said, "Very well, let me outline my plan. Our primary objective remains to kill Feng Zhichen and cause the greatest possible destruction to the Blue Star world. Yes, we have indeed been exposed, but just looking at Qingzhou City’s response shows that, but we have an advantage too."

He sneered, "Our advantage is that they still think we are just a small faction of the mysterious race, easily wiped out. They probably never imagined we’ve been lurking here for years, and over these years, our foundation has grown quite deep."

Chi Yu Xing Hen’s eyes flashed with a chillingly fierce and frenzied expression, almost twisted, "Since we’ve been exposed, let’s have one final madness, taking the entire Qingzhou City down with us."
