The Alpha Universe was huge, and geographically speaking, the Law Realm that Xia Fei used to live in was also very vast and boundless. The crux of the matter was that the Alpha Universe's strength was unified. Be it north or south, east or west, there were shadows of Genesis Realm experts everywhere. Meanwhile, the Law Realm was very divided, with the experts living in a fixed region to avoid causing too much trouble to the commoners.
There was no helping it. The potential of intelligent lifeforms was simply unimaginable. To the commoners on Earth, those Genesis Realm warriors were even more powerful than God, and living together with such experts was no wonder the commoners were on tenterhooks.
From this, one could see that while the Law Realm could not compare to the Alpha Universe, it was more humane. The lives of the commoners were taken care of, and in the Alpha Universe, the commoners and warriors were one. The warriors had millions of servants, and if they were unhappy, they could even kill some commoners for fun. Everything was beneficial to the experts.
Planet Brienza was even more prosperous than the Garde 83 where the Aurora Race resided. For some reason, this planet did not have a single well-known or unknown combat clan living on it, making it a paradise for the commoners.
Xia Fei felt a sense of familiarity as he walked down the street. The shops and hawkers on both sides of the street were very much like Xia Fei's hometown, Earth. Everything was very civilian.
"Fuchen isn't simple. He knows the principle of hiding in the city, actually hiding the golden seal of the Psychic lineage in a place like this." Xia Fei sighed.
Ulan laughed. "That's right. Fuchen has always been very scheming. Unfortunately, he's too loyal, or else he wouldn't have ended up like this."
Ulan was very depressed over Fuchen's departure. Tracing back to the source, if not for Fuchen's nostalgia, his disciples would not have rebelled. If not for Psychic's disciples rebelling, Fuchen would not have been chased out of the sect. If he had not been chased out of the sect, he would not have ended up in such a predicament of losing all his strength, and he would not have been so disheartened that he had to leave his hometown. In summary, it was all because of Fuchen's personality. If it were the ruthless Xia Fei, who knew who would be the one chased away?
With such a heavy responsibility on their shoulders, Xia Fei and Ulan did not have the time to admire the scenery along the way. Xia Fei grabbed Ulan's arm and instantly brought her to their destination, an unremarkable little lake.
The lake was a strange snowy blue color, and there were many trees around it. There were many fish in the water, but no one was fishing. Not even a trace of human habitation could be seen.
Xia Fei slightly frowned. Logically speaking, living near a river was a trait common to all intelligent lifeforms. It was rather strange that there were no residents in such a beautiful area.
Xia Fei lit a cigarette and tidied up his War Armor Demon Mark at the same time, preparing to dive into the water to search for the Psychic Golden Stamp. At this moment, an old man happened to be in a hurry as he passed by. He carried a sack on his shoulder and seemed to have just returned from the market.
The old man was rather kind-hearted as he approached Xia Fei with a strange look on his face. He said in a deep voice, "Are you two from out of town?"
Xia Fei smiled. "That's right."
The old man said, "I knew you were outsiders. How would the locals dare to be so close to the lake? In recent decades, this lake has been very strange. Huge waves often appear out of nowhere, and the corpses of those who died in the lake can't even be found. The few families that originally lived by the lake have long moved away. Listen to my advice. Stay away from this strange lake. "
Xia Fei and Black Orchid were very curious and wanted to ask more questions, but that old man refused to stay by the lake no matter what. He quickened his pace and disappeared at the end of the path.
Xia Fei pondered for a moment before asking, "Black Orchid. When was Fuchen kicked out of psychic? "
Black Orchid was slightly taken aback before she answered, "Sixty-three years ago."
Xia Fei said, "That also means that ever since Fuchen was kicked out of psychic, this lake started to become strange."
Black Orchid nodded. "Since Fuchen hid the golden stamp here, there's no way he wouldn't have set up defenses. The strangeness in the lake that these people mentioned was probably the defenses that Fuchen left behind, and they misunderstood it as a monster. "
Xia Fei's eyes turned cold as he said disapprovingly, "Wrong. Fuchen even told us the location of the golden stamp so clearly, but he didn't say anything about any restrictions."
Black Orchid was stunned. Xia Fei's analysis was correct. If Fuchen really had the intention, he would have clearly explained what restrictions he had set up here and how to open them to reduce Xia Fei's troubles, yet Fuchen did not mention any of this.
Smiling, Xia Fei said, "I suddenly don't want to go into this lake anymore."
"If you don't go into the lake, how are you going to retrieve Fuchen's golden stamp?" Black Orchid asked curiously.
…
* Kaboom! *
Xia Fei's intense reaction gave Black Orchid a huge fright!
With a wave of his hand, Furball flew into the air, took a deep breath, and shot forward!
* Whoosh! *
The white beam of light was scorching hot. It was Furball's most proficient energy attack!
In an instant, the lake water boiled, white fog rising wildly, and the lake water was rapidly drying up.
A perfectly fine lake, but no one was living here?
There must be a demon behind this abnormal situation! Xia Fei decided to destroy this lake and see just what was strange at the bottom of it!
In less than a minute, the white fog shrouded the wilderness, and the lake water disappeared without a trace, revealing the gravel and sand at the bottom.
* Kaboom! *
Xia Fei extended his right arm, and Peacock Blue rapidly grew. The nine blue blades of grass were several kilometers long, and they pierced into the soil, turning the lake upside down like an excavator!
Black Orchid was dumbfounded. Xia Fei's method was too exaggerated. Fuchen had asked Xia Fei to retrieve his golden stamp, but Xia Fei had turned it into a war!
Though his method was very violent, the result was unexpectedly good. It seemed that Peacock Blue had completed its task. Xia Fei retracted his right arm and used his speed of over thirty million meters per second to run around the lakeside like a bolt of lightning.
Xia Fei's high speed created an effect similar to that of a tornado. Because the lake water was evaporating, white steam rose into the air, forming dark clouds in the sky. Xia Fei and Black Orchid's vision instantly became clear.
Returning to Black Orchid's side, Xia Fei pointed to the center of the lake and said, "Let's go and see that person."
"Person?" Black Orchid curiously asked.
Xia Fei did not say anything, raising his head and looking forward. After what Peacock Blue had done, Xia Fei had already figured out the strangeness of the lake, so he had nothing to fear.
To Fuchen's surprise, after the soil was cleared, what appeared at the bottom of the lake was actually a huge piece of granite. There were countless complicated lines on it, connecting to various grooves. There were soul tools in the grooves, but these soul tools had been artificially suppressed. Even if someone stood on it, they would not be able to sense the presence of dark energy.
"It's the Soul Concealment Formation, one of Fuchen's specialties. There's no energy fluctuation at all unless you see it with your own eyes. Otherwise, you won't be able to sense it at all, "Black Orchid observed and said.
Fuchen was an expert in Soul Formations. Take this large formation in front of Xia Fei for example. He had used a total of 72 soul tools as a primer, yet he was able to conceal it to the point where there was not even a hint of its presence. It was clear to see how deep this old man's research in Soul Formations was.
Xia Fei nodded and pointed to a well in the center of the formation. "Let's go. That person and Fuchen's golden seal are both in the well. Fuchen taught me about concealment formations. I've already deactivated this formation, so don't worry. "
Black Orchid was filled with curiosity. She followed Xia Fei to the mouth of the well, and when she looked down, she could not help but be shocked.
She saw a person in the well, completely naked. His arms, limbs, and neck had been bound by five soul chains, suppressing him to the point where he could not move. There were some injuries on his body, which seemed to be caused by Peacock Blue digging into the lake.
There was a box at this person's feet. Xia Fei had Peacock Blue extend a blade of grass from his right arm. With a light flip, the box was rolled up. Xia Fei wiped his spatial ring lightly with his finger, not even bothering to look at it as he put away the box containing the golden seal.
At this time, the tightly bound man raised his head and saw that his hair was unreasonably long. Because he had been living underwater all year round, his face and body were a mess. It was unknown whether it was water stains or blisters.
"Master Wu Lan! Master Black Orchid! "This person actually called out Black Orchid's name. Perhaps it was because he had not spoken for too long, his voice was very hoarse.
"You know me?" Black Orchid pointed at herself.
"Yes! He recognized it! I am Huang Po Hai! I once followed Senior Brother to visit you! "That person spoke again in a hoarse voice.
When Wu Lan heard the name Huang Po Hai, her expression changed drastically, her eyes filled with nostalgia and pity.
Xia Fei curiously asked, "What's up with this person?"
Wu Lan said sadly, "Back then when Fuchen was chased out of the sect, he was the only one who spoke up for Fuchen. He was the youngest disciple of Fuchen. Back then, Fuchen liked to travel around and always brought three people with him. Apart from his two personal disciples, Black Tortoise and Ling Xing, he was also the youngest disciple. It's him. "
"It is no wonder that Fuchen took special care of his junior. Huang Pohai is truly a loyal man. When Fuchen was surrounded, he was still willing to lend a hand. It is a pity that there was no news of him after that. I thought he was secretly killed by the Black Tortoise and Ling Xing. I didn't expect him to be trapped here."
Once Fuchen's two evil disciples were mentioned, Black Orchid would be infuriated.
Xia Fei thought for a moment before speaking to the well, "My name is Xia Fei, Grandmaster Fuchen's new disciple. Logically speaking, I should be addressing you as Martial Uncle, but I wonder why you are trapped here?"
Perhaps it was because Huang Pohai had been trapped there for too long that he suddenly saw hope, so he began to talk nonsense. After talking a lot, his voice was no longer as bad as it used to be.
Black Orchid sympathized with Huang Bohai very much, but Xia Fei began to sneer as he listened.
Raising his head, Xia Fei sighed. He pointed at Huang Pohai and said, "You're still lying even now. Back when Fuchen was chased out of the house, you secretly followed him, trying to gain his trust. When Fuchen was about to hide his golden seal here, you suddenly made a move on him when you thought you had the chance."
"Who knew that Fuchen's ability was far above yours? Not only did you lose, you were even trapped at the bottom of this lake by Fuchen. That is probably what happened to you, isn't it? As for you saying that you were harmed by a scoundrel, you are the most scoundrel of them all! Fuchen would often inadvertently touch his back because of the scars you caused there! "
Huang Pohai cried out that he was innocent, while Black Orchid was dumbfounded. However, when he thought about it, Xia Fei's analysis did make sense. If Huang Pohai was truly loyal to Fuchen, why would he be trapped here?
Without another word, Xia Fei turned and left, ignoring Huang Pohai's loud cries.
Black Orchid was in a terrible mood. He had always thought that when Fuchen was chased out, he would at least have a junior brother to support him. Now, it seemed that it was this fellow, whom Fuchen affectionately called Little Hai, who had hurt Fuchen the most.
"What would Fuchen do if he was here?" Xia Fei suddenly asked.
"What else could he do? Fuchen sealing Little Hai is already the most severe punishment he has ever given his junior brother in his life." Black Orchid sighed.
Xia Fei nodded and tossed the Devil Blade Silent Extinction into the air. He said to Radix, "Destroy this formation. Don't leave any traces."
"Then what about this person?" Radix asked.
"Kill him!" Xia Fei's expression was cold and resolute.
Beside him, Black Orchid sucked in a cold breath and hurriedly said, "He is Black Orchid's favorite junior brother. Even if Little Hai betrayed him, Fuchen still spared his life. Isn't it inappropriate for you to kill him just like that?"
Xia Fei did not even turn his head as he nonchalantly said, "I'm not Fuchen. Since he is an enemy, he must die! "
