Han Fei and Cao Qiu were taken to a place named the Scattered Stars Archive Room.
The archive room was set up in an inconspicuous shop that sold all kinds of arts and classics next to the Refining Hall.
From the outside, it looked like a shop, but there was more to it than meets the eye. Two hundred meters down from the secret room, Han Fei and Cao Qiu saw the words "Scattered Stars Archive Room".
This place was more like an abandoned, run-down house, almost as old as the library of the Thug Academy.
It was dark, except for two small lamps on the two sides of the door. Half of the wick was exposed, and the feeble flames were burning, as if they could die out at any moment.
The shabby house seemed rather large. The broken door looked so old that it might break at any moment.
Cao Qiu secretly tugged at Han Fei and asked, "Will we be killed to keep our mouths shut?"
The Hidden Fisher surnamed Yang in front of them suddenly turned around and smiled creepily. "Do you think the two of you deserve to be killed? If I want to silence you, I can just find a random place and kill you. "
Han Fei didn't want to answer Cao Qiu's stupid question. He was just curious about what this place was. It was quite mysterious …
Han Fei asked, "Senior, what is this place?"
"Don't ask. You'll find out later."
Dum! Dum!
The Hidden Fisher knocked on the door and called softly, "Elder Chen?"
After around ten breaths' time, an old and hoarse voice came from the door, "Mm! Yang Dao, tell me their names. "
Yang Dao said, "Elder Chen. One of them is Cao Qiu, and the other is Han Fei. Both of them came to the Scattered Stars Island a few months ago. "
Han Fei and Cao Qiu were confused. What kind of person could a seven-star expert be so respectful to? Also, why did they tell him their names?
Creak!
About ten breaths later, the shabby wooden door opened a tiny gap. Han Fei and Cao Qiu looked into the door curiously, only to see two jade slips flying out with a swish.
Yang Dao caught the two jade slips and read them quickly. He was slightly surprised. He turned around and looked at Han Fei. "Huh? Did you kill a peak-level Hanging Fisher who guarded the dragon boat? "
Han Fei narrowed his eyes. What? There was such information in the jade slip?
In fact, after returning from the level-three fishery, Old Bai had said that it was okay to kill him.
However, he had offended many people in the Thousand Star City! The Scattered Stars Island was not the Blue Sea Town. Even if Senior Brother Dashuai was here, Han Fei still didn't feel safe.
Han Fei made up his mind. This time, he had to find a way to find Old Bai and the others.
If there was anyone he could trust, it would be Old Bai and Jiang Qin. Jiang Qin was said to be a peak-level Hanging Fisher. However, Old Bai's strength was unfathomable, and he would definitely be safer with his backing.
However, Kai Yang only let out a small cry of surprise before he went silent. He quickly turned his eyes to Cao Qiu and looked him up and down several times.
A moment later, Kai Yang threw the jade slip back into the door and looked at Cao Qiu. Then he said softly, "Elder Chen, I can't see through him. Do you have any suggestions?"
At the door, the old voice echoed again, "Let them choose!"
Yang Dao was stunned. "Huh? Let them choose for themselves? "
BAM!
The wooden door was closed. The moment it was closed, a vague voice came from inside, "Yes!"
Yang Dao cupped his hands at the wooden door and said to Han Fei and Cao Qiu solemnly, "Come with me."
Another moment passed.
Han Fei and Cao Qiu followed Yang Kai to the periphery of the Transverse Mountain.
There was a large courtyard here, and there were arrays on all sides of the courtyard. Also, Han Fei could easily tell that there was a killing array in it. However, it didn't seem to be a complete killing array, but a maze.
Yang Dao said coldly, "Follow me and don't move."
Han Fei and Cao Qiu looked at each other and followed Yang Dao in silence.
After they entered the yard, they found that the density of spiritual energy here was five times higher than outside.
Looking around, there were all kinds of spirit herbs being dried everywhere. There were also spirit herbs and spirit fruits being planted on the ground and in the pond …
Different from the fruits and vegetables in the plantation, these were real spiritual plants. Han Fei glanced at them and found that many spiritual fruits contained more than two hundred thousand points of spiritual energy.
Yang Dao looked at Han Fei. "Tell me about it."
Han Fei was stunned. "About what?"
Yang Dao asked, "What did you sense the first time you saw this place?"
Han Fei saw that Yang Dao was smiling, as if he were enjoying a good show. Han Fei couldn't help but scan the place with his senses again, only to discover that his senses could only reach the inside of the yard and couldn't penetrate the ground.
Yang Dao chuckled. "Everybody has senses. Then, there must be a lot of ways to block them."
Han Fei scanned the surroundings again and said after a long time, "If I'm not mistaken, this place is centered around the spiritual plants. The pond in the yard is connected to the land and constitutes a superimposed Spirit Gathering Array. Outside of the yard, there must be a maze and a killing array. Since you brought us here, there must be someone here. But there's nothing in the yard, which means they're all underground … "
All of a sudden, Han Fei raised his head and saw a few black spots passing from one side. They must've been birds in the Transverse Mountain. However, those birds were passing from the side, which made Han Fei's heart skip a beat.
Pondering for a moment, Han Fei said, "This place is very dangerous."
Yang Dao smiled casually. "Why do you say so?"
Han Fei said, "It's said that the Transverse Mountain is dangerous, but I haven't seen a single creature near this yard yet. I'm afraid that it's not just because of the killing arrays, but also because they're wary of certain people underground! "
Yang Dao looked at Cao Qiu. "What about you? What did you see?"
Cao Qiu scratched his head. "Is someone doing research here?"
Yang Dao's face slightly changed. "Oh? How did you find it? "
Cao Qiu said proudly, "What's so difficult about that? I found some poisonous grasses here. The grasses themselves are nothing, but the stones on the ground are different. The stones here have medicinal properties. If they didn't have any medicinal properties, the spiritual plants here wouldn't be able to absorb enough spiritual energy no matter how abundant it is. To be able to turn the ground, the walls, and the scenery here into something medicinal, this was not something an ordinary person could do. Only the most unusual people could've come up with such a method. So, someone is doing research here. "
Yang Dao took a deep breath and thought to himself, This little fatty figured out that someone is doing research here just from the floor under his feet?
Although it's just a speculation, his speculation is so firm and matter-of-fact. It's worth paying attention to.
Yang Dao paused for a moment. "It turns out that you're quite talented. However, what I'm going to say next is entirely up to you. Well, don't say a word about what I'm going to say today. Otherwise, you won't be able to bear the consequences. "
Yang Dao said, "On the Scattered Stars Island, most people only know places such as the Command Center, the Dark Hunter Legion, the Refining Hall, and the Pioneers. Even if there are some special organizations, they're only known to the public. But this place, this yard, in the entire Scattered Stars Island, few people know about it … "
Han Fei quickly said, "Wait a moment!"
"Huh?"
Yang Dao was rather unhappy to be interrupted by Han Fei. He squinted at Han Fei.
Han Fei asked, "Senior, are we free?"
Yang Dao: "???"
Seeing that Yang Dao was vaguely emitting a murderous aura, he thought to himself, Do you know how many people can't come here even if they want to?
Cao Qiu secretly raised his thumb at Han Fei.
Yang Dao said gloomily, "I'm quite free. You don't have to worry about that at all."
"That's good! That's good!"
Yang Dao snorted and continued, "There's a place on the Scattered Stars Island called the Scattered Stars Seven Units. Those who could enter the Scattered Stars Seven Units were all dragons and phoenixes among men. If you hadn't distinguished yourselves in the tide of Red Ghosts, and if one of you wasn't a poison refiner and the other an advanced Dangling Fisher, do you think I would've noticed you? "
Yang Dao paused for a moment and said, "The so-called Scattered Stars Seven Units are actually the seven most mysterious departments on the Scattered Stars Island. Only the unparalleled Heavenly Talents are allowed to enter the first unit …
"The second unit has the most members of the Scattered Stars Seven Units and is the easiest to join. The advantage is that members of the second unit can go to sea.
"The three divisions concoct medicine. No matter what kind of medicine it is, treasured medicine or poison, the three divisions concoct them all."
"The fourth unit is for refining. To join the fourth unit, you have to be able to seal souls.
"The fifth unit is for supervision. They're quite mysterious. They supervise the Scattered Stars Island and have the right to deploy troops.
"The sixth unit is for research. I don't know what they're working on, but they're good at everything. They're the ones who created this floor. This was not a department that anyone could enter just because they wanted to. You have to present some impressive research results.
"The seventh unit is for assassination. The members of the seventh unit never show up. They can be anybody. "
Yang Dao explained.
Han Fei and Cao Qiu looked at each other in bewilderment. So, did Yang Dao mean that they should choose a department to join?
