Puzzled, Xia Fei deactivated the Emerald Dawn Pearl and returned to the ranks.
Shen Gufeng and Lin Zhuoying cupped their fists toward Xia Fei and said, "If there's nothing else, us brothers will take our leave. We'll meet again."
Xia Fei smiled. "I've troubled the two of you this time, so I should at least treat you to a drink. Stay a few more days."
Shen Gufeng shook his head. "I appreciate your kindness, but the war has just ended, so it's a good time to strike the iron while it's hot. Of course, we'll drink, but let's leave that for another day."
Since Shen Gufeng and Lin Zhuoying insisted on leaving, Xia Fei did not urge them to stay, so he let them leave.
"The two of them actually made a move! If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it, "Radix muttered.
Xia Fei did not have much of a relationship with Shen Gufeng and Lin Zhuoying. Even though they were all dragonrider trainees, they were not on the same team. Radix was rather surprised that Xia Fei could invite the famous Gufeng Zhuoying.
Xia Fei nonchalantly said, "What's so surprising about that? They had no way of rejecting the conditions I gave them.
"After being ignored by Annihilation for so many years, Shen Gufeng and Lin Zhuoying are about to go crazy. They need to improve their performance, their reputation, and their status in the eyes of the higher-ups. What else can make Gufeng Zhuoying famous more than defeating the Evil Shadow Dragonriders?
"Besides, I didn't ask them to fight to the death. Instead, I gave them a chance to make their own choice."
Radix nodded. Xia Fei had truly calculated these two Kings of Assassins.
The Evil Shadow Dragonriders were Annihilation's enemies, and Shen Gufeng and Lin Zhuoying were hunting down Annihilation's enemies. The higher-ups would of course be happy to see this.
Thus, the two of them had come to the Law Realm's outpost early to hide and observe Xia Fei's strength. When Xia Fei led Sky Wings and Polar Light's men to break the dragonrider formation, Shen Gufeng and Lin Zhuoying had decisively made their move! They stood on the same starting line as Xia Fei.
Now that they had succeeded, Shen Gufeng and Lin Zhuoying must be in a hurry to report to their superiors, hoping to join Annihilation as soon as possible, so they were in a hurry to leave.
Every dragonrider trainee had their own direct leader. Xia Fei belonged to the Blue-blooded Sardines, and so did Shen Gufeng and Lin Zhuoying.
Without Lone Peak Turbid Shadow, Xia Fei might not necessarily have been unable to win, but he would not have been able to crush and drive away the Evil Shadow Dragonriders like he did today. The Skywing family did not have many people in the first place, and the same went for Polar Light. If Xia Fei were to win with heavy casualties, his authority in the Alpha Universe would undoubtedly be greatly reduced.
That was why he joined forces with Lone Peak Turbid Shadow. Exchanging the smallest price for the greatest benefit was also in line with Xia Fei's needs, so the two sides hit it off.
…
The heroes of the Law Realm began to clean up the battlefield. Slaughtering thousands of Genesis powerhouses was enough for the Law Realm to reach a whole new level in terms of equipment. Meanwhile, those millions of exotic beasts were excellent raw materials that could be used to craft weapons, armor, and medicinal ingredients.
Xia Fei was not in the mood to care about this. That mysterious figure that had appeared twice had an agreement with him, and Xia Fei was anxious to know who that person was. What was he going to do?
"I'll send the two pavilion guardians back. You can continue. But don't let your guard down, "Xia Fei instructed.
After killing the Evil Shadow Dragonriders and killing Nan Shazi, everyone had vented their anger and was in a good mood. No one noticed the gloomy expression on Xia Fei's face.
The two pavilion guardians were in a daze. Nan Shazi was dead. The culprit who had caused the entire Psychic Faction to betray them and caused the deaths of countless people had been personally killed by a pavilion guardian. This gave the two living corpses a sense of relief.
Xia Fei vaguely sensed that the two of them seemed to have changed, but because he had something on his mind, he did not pay too much attention to it.
After returning to the Psychic Pavilion, the two pavilion guardians quickly made their way inside. They seemed to be rushing somewhere, while Xia Fei remained at the entrance and took out the Emerald Dawn Pearl.
This time, the mysterious person finally gave Xia Fei a proper face, but Xia Fei did not expect this person to only have half a face. The right side was usually covered by a metal shell. It seemed to have suffered a very serious injury, causing the face to never recover, so a piece of metal was installed on it.
"You did very well this time. You won against the Evil Shadow Dragonriders, but you didn't completely wipe them out. This is the most advantageous situation I had in mind." The mysterious person went straight to the point.
Xia Fei frowned slightly and smiled bitterly. "Letting my enemies go has never been my habit. If I had a choice, I'd rather have them all stay on the battlefield."
The mysterious person shook his head. "Being ruthless is an advantage, but it also depends on the situation. If you were to wipe out the Evil Shadow Dragonriders in one battle, what would the higher-ups think?
"How many years of painstaking effort has Annihilation tried to rebuild the fearsome Evil Shadow Dragonriders of the past? They betrayed Annihilation, and the experts of Annihilation couldn't even leave a strand of hair on their bodies. Now, they were all killed by you! If this news reaches the ears of those old fellows, it's hard to say whether they'll keep you or not. "
Xia Fei was stunned. These words hit the nail on the head!
As the old saying went, an ordinary man is innocent, but treasuring a jade ring becomes a crime!
A team that could be said to be at the top of Annihilation had been killed by Xia Fei's group, who came from the lower five stars. This would probably attract countless jealousy and suspicion!
This was not good!
"You want me to hide?" Xia Fei curiously asked.
"That's right. You've already wiped out the Evil Shadow Dragonriders, and no one above will suspect that you're in cahoots with them. You have the strength, but you're not a threat to Annihilation, and you have no intention of betraying Annihilation. Your current situation is the best one you can fight for! From now on, you have to keep a low profile, "the mysterious person sternly said.
Low profile?
Xia Fei liked to keep a low profile, but trouble would always find him, and this was not something Xia Fei could control.
"Just who are you? Why are you saying this to me? "Xia Fei questioned.
"I'm your friend in Annihilation, and I'm your only friend in Annihilation," the mysterious person firmly said.
Xia Fei had long since seen that the Annihilation Universe, which represented the highest power, was not a good person.
Back then, the Blueblood Sardines had treated Xia Fei very well, and he owed him a debt of gratitude, but so what?
Xiu Yiyi was sick, and Luo Dallega wanted to curry favor with the Xiu family, so he had Xia Fei treat Xiu Yiyi. If Xiu Yiyi was cured, it would be Luo Dallega's credit, but if Xiu Yiyi was not cured, he would pretend that he did not know Xia Fei and make Xia Fei a scapegoat.
Xia Fei was disgusted by this method.
Xia Fei shook his head and smiled. "I'm sorry. I do have a few friends, but you're definitely not one of them."
The mysterious person somewhat emotionally said, "You saved Yiyi, so you're the benefactor of the Xiu family. Whether you treat me as a friend or not, it won't affect my choice and judgment."
"Xiu Yiyi's father?! Aren't you dead? "Xia Fei hurriedly asked.
Old man Xiu Qian was right. Xiu Yiyi's father died while carrying out a secret mission, and Xiu Yiyi was born in the middle of the mission. She was born with a serious illness, which showed how dangerous that mission was.
Now that this dead man had appeared again and helped Xia Fei twice, Xia Fei really could not understand.
Suddenly, Xia Fei thought of Luo Dallega. The patriarch of the Blueblood Sardines wanted to curry favor with Xiu Qian and Xiu Yiyi, but there was something strange about it.
Xiu Yiyi was a genius, having opened her seventh brain region at birth. If she had not been invaded by an evil spirit, she would have already become an expert among experts, which meant that she had excellent genes in her bloodline.
Could it be that Luo Dallega wanted to curry favor with the Xiu family because of Xiu Yiyi's resurrected father?!
"In the eyes of others, I truly am dead, and there are many who wish for me to die," the mysterious person whispered. "Alas, I, Xiu Zetian, won't die so easily! The more they wish for me to die, the more tenaciously I will live on! "
Xiu Zetian seemed to be angry, his face somewhat savage.
"Back then. My wife and I went to investigate an ancient battlefield, but we ended up being fatally attacked! Even more frighteningly, these attackers were our own people! I inadvertently touched upon a few people's secrets, and they wanted to kill me!
"You know what happened next. We were trapped in the ancient battlefield for an entire year. My wife was pregnant with a child, so she could only give birth to Yiyi on the battlefield. When we finally returned, Yiyi became seriously ill, and my wife died.
"But I'm still alive! Who was it that framed me? Why was it that framed me? I must find out in this lifetime! Otherwise, I won't be able to die in peace! "
As he spoke, Xiu Zetian's eyes seemed like they were going to tear apart. His hatred had clearly reached a boiling point!
At this moment. He was no longer a mysterious bigshot but a husband who had sworn to avenge his wife! It was as if he had been possessed by a demon!
Xia Fei sighed. He could empathize with Xiu Zetian's feelings, for Xia Fei himself had mistakenly believed that Avril had died. And he had gone crazy.
After a pause, Xiu Zetian continued. "Fortunately, there's an old man in Oblivion. Just like me, he has great doubts about the past. It was he who saved me and entrusted me with the responsibility of investigating in secret."
Xia Fei lit a cigarette and indifferently said, "If it were me, I wouldn't have told this to an outsider. Now that I have your secret in my hands, if I don't keep my mouth shut and tell others that you're still alive, you'll probably die again."
Glancing at the masked Xiu Zetian, Xia Fei's eyes turned cold. "I don't believe that you're the kind of idiot who would casually tell others about your secret. The fact that you're still alive means that you're definitely not stupid. In fact, you're very smart.
"That's strange. You're a smart person, yet you're telling an outsider about your secret. I don't believe that you don't have a plan in mind."
Xiu Zetian was not too surprised. "You're right, but you probably don't know that I'm telling you this because you and your people are all implicated!"
Xia Fei was stunned. This was the second time Xiu Zetian had used the term 'your people'. It was as if Xiu Zetian cared a lot about him and the Skywing Clan.
Moreover, Xiu Zetian was saying that Xia Fei was implicated? This was even stranger. What did the trouble in Oblivion have to do with him?
"You want to know the reason?" Xiu Zetian asked.
Xia Fei nodded.
"Okay! Your position is very stable now. Oblivion has me and that old man, while Alpha is the result of your own hard work. From now on, you must keep a low profile and break through to Genesis as soon as possible! When the time comes, you'll immediately receive a transfer order and get permission to enter the Oblivion Universe! "
"With the betrayal, the Evil Shadow Dragonriders will no longer remain in the hands of the Blueblood Sardines. Your new supervisor will be me!" Xiu Zetian's eyes were firm as he looked at Xia Fei.
Xia Fei was confused. "Are you saying that the designation of the Evil Shadow Dragonriders will still exist?"
