"Crap! A substitution technique!" Black Orchid exclaimed.
The one who had returned was not Xia Fei but Furball! This meant that Xia Fei had risked staying on Spirit Mountain tonight!
Black Orchid stomped her foot and yelled, "Xia Fei, oh Xia Fei! I finally know why you're always in trouble! You're just a troublemaker! I told you to stay on the mountain, yet you insisted on coming up. Even with me and Furball as backup, there's no way we can stop the entire Omniscient Sect! "
Furball was also barking in dissatisfaction. In his mind, the fact that Xia Fei was going to fight without him had made Furball very upset. Exotic beasts were loyal protectors of their masters, and no matter how crafty and treacherous Furball was, he would always be completely devoted to Xia Fei.
It was late at night, and there was no moon. A cold wind blew, and Black Orchid stared at the dark night sky and said, "It's a dark and windy night to kill. Xia Fei, you better not get into any trouble."
…
Breath Control ~
Xia Fei was like a ghost in the dark, sticking close to the walls of the complex and ever-changing mountaintop, using the darkness as cover to move.
Spirit Mountain was huge, and the Omniscient Sect had occupied it for countless years. They had already built an extremely complicated fortress on the mountaintop, and outsiders who were not familiar with the situation could easily get lost.
Furthermore, the Omniscient Sect had very few members. According to Black Orchid's recollection, there were no more than fifty formal members in the sect, and the rest were all probationary disciples or odd-job workers. There were only three to four hundred of them.
Such a huge mountain was like an ocean, and even three to four hundred people would not be able to see their shadows. The trees swayed in the wind, and there was no one around, which made the atmosphere on the mountaintop even more strange.
"Why don't I go check out the other side of Spirit Mountain? The two of us can split up. It'll be faster that way," Radix suggested.
Xia Fei shook his head. "That won't do. You're a soul, and the people here are all Spiritualists. They'll easily discover you, so it's better if you stay in Silence."
Xia Fei headed toward the mountaintop based on his intuition. Over the past three days, Xia Fei had been observing the mountaintop carefully, but he did not sense any aura at all. It was as if no one had ever made it there.
There must be something wrong when something was out of the ordinary, so Xia Fei decided to head to the mountaintop to take a look first. He could see far from the high ground, and it was a good view.
Soon. Xia Fei approached the top of the mountain and saw that there was a small landing pad and a few old-fashioned buildings. None of them were very tall.
All sorts of spatial powers were prevalent in the Alpha Universe, so it was not uncommon for him to open the door of a thatched hut and discover a whole new world inside. That was why Xia Fei did not look down on these buildings just because they were short and old.
After some thought, Xia Fei decided to move to the nearest three-story building. There was snow on the ground, and he would need to pass through a platform without any cover while moving. Xia Fei gathered his Qi and dashed forward.
Whoosh ~
Just as Xia Fei was about to accelerate, the sound of a ferocious bird flapping its wings could be heard in the sky.
Xia Fei shuddered and braked forcefully. He stopped in his tracks.
A black wind blew, and the snow on the ground was blown dozens of meters into the air. A black shadow as tall as a person fell from the sky!
Bang!
Xia Fei froze when he saw this figure. It was none other than the Holy Beast, Solitary Eagle, whose nose had been bitten off by Furball back at Genesis' Fall!
Whoosh ~
Xia Fei broke out in a cold sweat. Holy Beasts could sense each other. Back then, Furball and Solitary Eagle had roared at each other before they even met, and it was precisely this subtle connection that was playing tricks on him.
Fortunately, he had used Delusion to get Furball to pretend to be him and descend the mountain. If Furball were here, he would probably have been exposed by now!
Solitary Eagle was here, which meant that Tree Tongue River and even the number one Dark Spirit, Nanshazi, were probably nearby!
Without the moonlight, Xia Fei could only vaguely make out Solitary Eagle's blurry figure. All of a sudden, Solitary Eagle turned his head and looked in Xia Fei's direction, his eyes filled with wariness. Only then did Xia Fei realize that a piece of metal had been installed on his nose, turning it into a metal nose. This was most likely Furball's doing.
* Thump ~ *
* Thump ~ *
Xia Fei's heart raced. Solitary Eagle tilted its head, still looking at the rock Xia Fei was hiding on, seemingly having discovered something.
* Thump ~ *
* Thump ~ *
Solitary Eagle used its strange walking method to jump over. Xia Fei was very surprised. Had he already been discovered?!
Solitary Eagle was less than fifty meters away from Xia Fei, and the situation was very dire! That was when a yellow light flashed in the night sky, and a small shuttle landed on a special landing pad on the mountaintop.
The cabin opened, and several figures walked out. Among them was a hunchback who looked the strangest, his body bent over so much that his head was almost touching the ground.
One of the people who came down waved his hand, and Solitary Eagle glanced at the rock Xia Fei was hiding on. He somewhat reluctantly used his strange movements to hop over to that group of people.
* Creak ~ *
On the slope of the mountaintop, close to the cliff, the two doors of the shortest building opened, and three people walked out. Xia Fei used the light to take a look, and based on the appearances that Black Orchid had told him, these three were the three supervisors of the Psychic branch!
Black Tortoise, Zero Star, and Black Wuji!
"The master is very cautious. Don't worry; this is Spirit Mountain, and no one will dare to spy on us in the middle of the night," Black Wuji loudly said.
The Dark Spiritualists on the other side nodded. Two of them, the Holy Beast Solitary Eagle, and the hunchback stayed behind to look after the shuttle while the other three walked over.
* Creak ~ *
The two doors closed again, and the mountaintop fell into darkness once more.
"Let's retreat! These people are too strong! There are at least five of them who are Peak Spiritual Masters! And there's even a Holy Beast and a strange hunchback, Radix telepathically said to Xia Fei.
"We can't retreat!" Xia Fei said firmly. "These Dark Spiritualists are suddenly visiting Psychic. There must be a conspiracy behind this. I must get to the bottom of it."
"But they're already guarding the entrance, and there's no cover around. How are you going to get close to that house? Even if you get close, how are you going to get in?! "Radix anxiously said.
Xia Fei's expression darkened. "From there!"
* Whoosh ~ *
With that, Xia Fei nimbly shrunk his body backward, and his whole body fell off the cliff.
The cliff was steep, and the wind was bone-chilling. Xia Fei was like an agile ape, sliding along the side to avoid the wind, and soon, he saw that very unremarkable low house.
What was shocking was that this building did not look like much on the surface, built along the cliff, but from the back, it looked like a building embedded in the mountain wall!
That small one-story house at the top of the mountain was merely the entrance, and behind it was the inside of the cliff. There were countless rooms and countless windows on the cliff. At this moment, these windows were being lit up one by one, as if they were sporadically commanding the Dark Spiritualists to enter as they walked along the passageway.
"Hmm? There's a door here? "Xia Fei was surprised.
He saw that there was actually a place on the cliff that looked like a dock. It was built out of thin air, and most of it was covered by cold-resistant brambles, so it was impossible to see it from the outside. Xia Fei nearly missed his step when he stepped on it, and he accidentally entered this building in the sky.
"It's really well hidden. I almost got fooled. I wonder if this door is connected to the entire building." Xia Fei muttered to himself.
The alloy door was not big, and it looked more like a secret door left behind by a rich family. Xia Fei used his hand to gently push it, and a foot of dust fell. It was obvious that this door had not been opened for many years.
The platform was very small. Other than the door, there was only the cliff. Xia Fei searched around and found the activation mechanism for this door. However, this door was not opened with a password, nor was it controlled by a mechanical mechanism. Instead, it was a very rare material scan.
"Hmm? Do I have to use this? " Xia Fei was slightly startled. He took out the Omniscient Door's golden token that Fuchen had left for him from his spatial ring.
When he obtained this token in the lake, Xia Fei was somewhat disappointed because there was only a lone token in the box, and there were no martial arts manuals. Thinking about it, how could Fuchen know that Xia Fei would be the one to take the token? Hence, he did not leave a gift in the box in advance.
Xia Fei observed and discovered that the material composition of this Omniscient Door token was very special. Xia Fei, who had learned forging, was very familiar with the properties of metals, but he was completely unable to understand the composition of this token. When he saw this rare material scan today, Xia Fei immediately thought of this token.
"Could the material composition of this thing be the internal password of the Omniscient Door?" Xia Fei muttered to himself. He placed the metal token on the scanner.
* Whoosh! *
Countless red rays flashed and scanned this token inside out. Following that, there was a very soft sound, and the door opened a gap!
"As expected, the Omniscient Door doesn't have a fingerprint. It doesn't have a secret key with a dark energy composition, but it uses this unique metal composition as a command. Seems like their ancestors were quite smart. Metal composition is the most stable and most difficult to imitate. "Xia Fei said as he pushed open the door and entered.
* Whoosh *
Xia Fei increased his speed, hoping to catch up with Dark Spiritualist and Sporadic before they met up. He wanted to hear what they were talking about.
Strange, very strange!
The walls of the corridor were embedded with a white crystal mirror. This crystal could actually penetrate the wall and see the situation outside.
Every room, every corridor, and even the toilet was no exception!
Xia Fei suddenly had a creepy feeling in his heart. This place could only be entered by those with the sect master's golden token. He could imagine that a long time ago, the master of the Omniscient Door was in this secret space, spying on every action of his disciples.
"D * mn, the Omniscient Door probably isn't as good as Fuchen made it out to be. At the very least, their previous sect master was very sinister, actually building such a strange thing to spy on his disciples." Xia Fei cursed softly.
Xia Fei only cared about the situation displayed on the crystal and did not pay much attention to his surroundings. He was very fast, constantly shuttling through the corridors. This building was circular, which meant that it was a two-story building. It was probably set up this way for the convenience of surveillance.
This made things much easier for Xia Fei. Very soon, he found a few figures in one of the corridors. The three leaders of the Omniscient Door were leading, followed by Nan Shazi, Shu Yuhe, and a middle-aged man whom Xia Fei had never seen before. They were not saying a word, but their eyes were darting around, evidently having their own ulterior motives.
Sporadic pushed open a door and made a gesture of invitation before the group of people entered one after another.
Xia Fei quickly switched to another crystal and saw that this was a guest room, far away from the top of the mountain. This was most likely where they held their secret meeting.
The few of them took their seats. The youngest, Black Tortoise, personally served tea, but no one drank it, indicating that there were still some misgivings among them.
Xia Fei opened his eyes wide, ready to listen to what these people had to say.
That was when he suddenly heard a rustling sound behind him.
