Walking out of the room, the sun was already setting.
Xia Fei lit a cigarette and went to a pavilion in the courtyard. Black Orchid and Furball were both there. When Xia Fei contacted all the forces he could, Black Orchid was responsible for protecting Xia Fei from being eavesdropped.
Pouring Xia Fei a cup of tea, Black Orchid said, "If Fuchen were here, he'd never let you make such a crazy decision."
Xia Fei blew out a ring of smoke and smiled. "This isn't just for Fuchen, but for ourselves. Will your fellow disciples come?"
"Yes." Black Orchid said in a deep voice, "Our plant type only has five people, including me. We don't have much to worry about. Since we're going to die anyway, we might as well give it a shot. However, I have to remind you that the plant type has always been very weak in combat, so I'm afraid we won't be able to help you much."
Xia Fei smiled strangely, staring at Black Orchid's sleeve. "Who says that the plant type has no combat power? I'm very interested in that Bitter Sky Punishment Vine of yours. Its combat power is no weaker than my Peacock Blue's."
Black Orchid quickly pulled up her sleeve and said, "Don't even think about it, kid. The Bitter Sky Punishment Vine is the ultimate treasure of the plant type. Besides, your Peacock Blue and my Bitter Sky Punishment Vine aren't even on the same level. Peacock Blue is sentient and can attack on its own, while my Bitter Sky Punishment Vine is a pure plant. Every time I use it, I'll be half dead from exhaustion.
"Plus, Peacock Blue hasn't reached its limit yet and can continue to improve, while the Bitter Sky Punishment Vine has already reached its peak, with no possibility of improvement."
Xia Fei chuckled and patted Black Orchid on the shoulder. "Didn't you say so much just so that my Peacock Blue won't swallow your Bitter Sky Punishment Vine? Don't worry. Though Peacock Blue has the ability to absorb other plants, I still haven't figured out what law it's absorbing. Instead of guarding against Peacock Blue, why don't you guard against Furball? That guy eats everything, and I've seen him staring at your sleeve a few times, drooling. Right, there's also Jin Xiaoxiao. His appetite is even bigger than Furball's, and he's not picky. "
* Pfft ~ *
Black Orchid's face paled. Beside Xia Fei, Devil Blade Nirvana was a devouring type, Furball was an energy devouring type, and Peacock Blue was a natural devouring type. As for Jin Xiaoxiao, he was a complete devouring freak! What a bunch of foodies!
Wu Lan was truly worried that one day her precious Bitter Sky Punishment Vine would be swallowed by these gluttons!
…
In the dead of the night, Xia Fei did not tell Black Orchid. He went to the foot of Spirit Mountain alone and unfurled a map, comparing the terrain of the mountain.
"What is this?" Yuan asked curiously.
"The map of Spirit Mountain. I got it from the Psychic Pavilion. With it, I can avoid this huge Soul Array," Xia Fei said softly.
The Spirit Mountain itself was an array formation. Anyone who trespassed would die. Xia Fei had obtained the map from the Psychic Pavilion, which meant that he now had the means to enter and exit Spirit Mountain at will.
"You're going up the mountain again?" Radiance asked in surprise.
"I have to go. I have to grasp every single path. In case they needed to launch an attack on this mountain! I don't want to put my brothers in danger, "Xia Fei said.
Radix did not continue to retort. Xia Fei and Fuchen's disciples and grand-disciples were bound to fight, and when that time came, the Empyrean Winged Wolves would be Xia Fei's trump card, so they would definitely have to ascend Spirit Mountain. Thus, Xia Fei had to figure out the path first, as it would be extremely beneficial for his next step.
* Whoosh! *
Xia Fei kept the map and with a flash, he entered the boundless mountain forest.
…
Xia Fei used an entire hour to ascend Spirit Mountain the first time, using the guidance of the map. It was a daunting journey without any mishaps, but it was not fast enough, and Xia Fei was very dissatisfied.
After entering the Psychic Pavilion, he saw the two servants already waiting at the door. Xia Fei waved the golden token in his hand. He then put his arm around the shoulders of the two living corpses and entered.
The servants stood to the left and right. Xia Fei closed the door and said with a smile, "I'll have to trouble the two of you to guard me. Thanks."
After the door was closed, Yuan asked curiously, "You're letting these two zombies guard you? What are you talking about? "
Xia Fei said disapprovingly, "Black Orchid is old. She will need to rest at night, and I can't find a better place to cultivate than this. With two incomparably powerful servants guarding me, who would be able to enter? Besides, the most dangerous place is the safest. They'll never imagine that I'm right under their noses. None of their movements will escape my eyes. "
Yuan was slightly stunned, realizing that Xia Fei's words made sense. First, this Psychic Pavilion could monitor the movements of Sporadic and the others, and second, it was an excellent place to cultivate! Cultivating while keeping watch; where else in the world could he find such a perfect place?
Actually, Xia Fei had never stopped cultivating. On the warship, even when he was free from combat, Xia Fei would be cultivating nonstop. In this day and age, it was the fist that was harder that made sense, and Xia Fei, who already understood this, was even more diligent. Everyone could see that Xia Fei was leveling up very quickly, but very few people noticed the hard work he was putting in behind the scenes.
That night, there were still two hours before dawn. Xia Fei ended his seclusion early and came out of the room. The two living corpses were still quietly guarding him, not showing any reaction when they saw Xia Fei.
Xia Fei reached out and brushed aside the hair of the two men, carefully looking at their faces. The two living corpses did not show any signs of rejection, nor were they happy. They were like two corpses, unresponsive.
Their faces looked like they had been dead for a long time, gray and gray. Their eyes were empty, and it was impossible to tell if they had any thoughts.
From their faces, they were already very old when they lost their souls. There were many wrinkles on their faces, as if they were fixed at that moment without their souls, no longer growing. Their hair might be long, but it was very neat, except for the lack of care. Their fingernails were neat, too, as if they had just been trimmed.
'Intelligent life will stop growing without a soul? That's interesting, 'Xia Fei thought to himself.
After doing all this, Xia Fei began to tell the two corpses stories, especially some jokes about him and the others' embarrassing moments.
Unfortunately, it was unknown if Xia Fei's ability to tell jokes had deteriorated, but the two living corpses did not smile like they did yesterday.
Xia Fei was a little disappointed. Seeing that it was getting late, he left Psychic Pavilion and returned to the foot of the mountain.
The next day, Xia Fei went up the mountain again, and just like yesterday, he cultivated and told the two corpses jokes. The third day was the same.
'Today is the deadline I'm giving the Aurora Tribe. After today, I'll have to give up on them. 'Xia Fei lit a cigarette and said in deep thought.
Yuan was a guard from the Aurora Tribe. Upon hearing this, he hurriedly asked, "Give up? What do you mean? No matter what, the Aurora Tribe is still your family. "
Xia Fei shook his head. "We live and die together as family. Since the Aurora Tribe doesn't trust me, there's no need for me to spend so much effort on them. But don't worry. I'm just not going to spend too much effort on the Aurora Tribe. If something really happens, I'll still do my best to help them. "
Yuan silently nodded, feeling somewhat dejected.
Suddenly, his communicator rang. It was a call from the Aurora Tribe's Xiao Hezai.
Tapping on the screen, he saw that Xiao Hezai was in darkness, and he had no idea where he was.
"Xia Fei, activate four-dimensional communication. Someone wants to see you, "Xiao Hezai sternly said.
Xia Fei tapped on the screen a few more times. Four-dimensional communication was also known as three-dimensional conference mode. Xia Fei guessed that it was those hidden old fairies of the Aurora Tribe who wanted to talk to him.
* Whoosh ~ *
Xia Fei seemed to be pulled into a screen, and his surroundings changed into a dim hall. He was in the center, and there were at least ten-some people around him, all of them connected to this place through four-dimensional communication.
Xiao Hezai cleared his throat and said, "Xia Fei, around you are the nameless members of the Aurora Tribe. Some of the elders have even been in seclusion for millions of years. I've sent your message to them, and they hope that you can personally explain why the Aurora Tribe is involved in the conflict between the spirit-masters and why you're bringing out all the trump cards of the tribe. "
With that said … Xiao Hezai respectfully stood to the side, waiting for Xia Fei's explanation. While he was the current patriarch of the Aurora Tribe, Xiao Hezai was just a junior to these old fairies.
Xia Fei smiled and bowed to the crowd. Bowing to everyone around him, he said, "For the sake of Aurora, Xia Fei would like to ask all of you to die today!"
* Whoosh ~ *
Xiao Hezai paled, and gasps of shock could be heard around him.
No one had expected that Xia Fei's first words would be to ask all the ancestors to die … For the sake of the Aurora Tribe, Xia Fei would like to ask all the ancestors to die today! "
As soon as these words came out, the entire hall was shocked!
Xiao Hezai put on a stern face and said, "Xia Fei, what nonsense are you spouting?!"
Shaking his head, Xia Fei calmly said, "Xia Fei isn't spouting nonsense. As long as all of you are alive, the Aurora Tribe will not prosper. Thus, Xia Fei boldly asks all of you to die!"
Xiao Hezai was very angry. Xia Fei had actually said such treacherous words again. Just as he was about to speak, he heard someone laughing in the dark. "Hold on. Let Xia Fei continue. Let's hear it. Why do old things like us have to die?"
Xia Fei paused and looked around. "All of you have secluded yourselves to leave a trump card for your clans, so that when the Aurora Tribe encounters a calamity in the future, all of you will be able to step forward and deal a surprise blow to the enemy.
"Secondly, all of you have secluded yourselves because you haven't been able to break the barrier in your hearts and achieve Oblivion. As a result, some of you have become disheartened. Is Xia Fei right?"
Murmurs could be heard from all around. Xia Fei's words had hit the nail on the head. Though it did not sound very comfortable, it was not to say that Xia Fei was wrong. If one could reach the peak of Oblivion, who would bother with something as boring as seclusion?
"Continue," that voice sternly said from the darkness.
Xia Fei smiled. "I don't understand much, but I do know that if you want something, you have to pay the price. In life, you have to be resolute in killing!
"In my opinion, you might as well be stubborn to the end! Once you draw your sword, you never look back! One word of disagreement, and you kill his entire clan! The rule that all of you have set for the Aurora Tribe to be kind to others has been the greatest restraint of the Aurora Tribe over the years!
"No one can do everything. You want to protect your clans, and you want to hold onto your reputation. You want your clans to stand without offending anyone. How is that possible?! In this world, there has never been such a good thing as not offending anyone and standing tall!
"Thus, I ask all of you to die! Since the Aurora Tribe's bullsh * t rule of being kind to others was set by all of you, then please break it! Give back to the Aurora Tribe the decisiveness that all warriors should have! "
