Chapter 239

As Raven listened to the vague, ethereal voice, her expression gradually turned cold.

This elder, whose voice could be heard but whose figure remained unseen, gave her an intense and overwhelming sense of danger.

Still, she showed not a hint of fear on her face. Instead, she replied calmly, “Sorry, but I’m not interested.”

There was a moment of silence from the other side before a soft sigh sounded. “Such talent. What a pity”

As his voice faded, the space around Raven began to ripple faintly.

At that moment, Raven suddenly looked toward a corner in front of her, to the right.

At the same time, she flicked her small hand.

A Starcard sliced through the air.

As it flew about ten feet, it seemed to hit an invisible barrier like glass.

A sharp shattering sound rang out. As it echoed, the space around Raven instantly returned to calm.

Immediately, the Five Elements Starcard flew straight toward where Raven had just been looking.

But soon, it suddenly halted mid–air, as though hitting something unseen.

“What’s this?” The old man’s surprised voice rang out again.

But just as he spoke, the elemental forces within the Starcard suddenly exploded.

Then, several hurried footsteps staggered back.

Moments later, a white–haired elder, looking to be in his sixties, appeared in full view of everyone.

Clutching his chest, he fought back the surging energy inside him, glaring at Raven as he said, “A special Starcard. I truly underestimated you.”

As soon as he spoke, a cold, murderous glint flashed through his eyes as he looked at her.

At that moment, Raven felt the sense of danger spike to its absolute peak.

Just as she was weighing her options for how to turn the odds in her favor, an elderly woman’s voice rang out nearby. “If you want to lay a hand on her, you’ll have to get past me first!”

As soon as she finished speaking, her body suddenly turned into a swirl of black mist.

In the next instant, both she and the elder vanished from sight.

Everyone around was stunned by this near–supernatural display. It took them a moment to process what had just happened.

Soon, the air within the prison started to distort violently. Sounds of intense combat filled their ears.

Because the situation was unclear, no one dared to act recklessly.

After a while, the elderly man’s somewhat panicked voice rang out. “Who are you?”

Only silence and a flurry of even fiercer attacks answered him.

The elderly man added, “You are indeed strong. I’ll spare that little girl for today… but you’re not fully recovered. Next time we meet, I doubt you’ll be this lucky!”

His groan of pain cut off his words, and the surrounding space gradually returned to stillness.

Soon, the old woman reappeared in front of everyone.

But this time, her thin and withered face had visibly gone pale.

She walked slowly to Raven’s side and sighed. “Space Starcards truly are on a whole other level.”

“I couldn’t take that old man down. But the seven Sunset Empire Starbornes have been poisoned by my hidden toxin. Even if they survive, they’re crippled.” As she spoke, the old woman slowly raised her hand.

Then, a black ring appeared in front of Raven.

The old woman said, “That old man’s ring. It holds about 400 cubic feet of space. He stored quite a lot in there. It’s yours

now.”

Raven looked at the clearly weakened old woman and sighed inwardly. She was still not strong enough.
