The Assassin Sect
Xia Fei did not like the word justice. People with different standpoints would come to different conclusions. There was no such thing as absolute justice in this world, unless there really was a God. That was why Xia Fei did not say anything when Darkshadow told him that he would be treated fairly.
After finishing his dinner like a whirlwind, Xia Fei lit a cigarette and took a deep drag, thinking about how he was going to get out of this. Though he was very interested in the Assassin Sect, he did not like being forced to leave in such a manner today.
Xia Fei's calmness had greatly affected Darkshadow. What he was most concerned about was the origin of Sly Thrust and Breath Control, two ultimate techniques. Xia Fei did not seem to be worried at all about the truth being revealed, which inevitably made Darkshadow suspicious.
"Could it be that he's telling the truth? Sly Thrust and Breath Control are his family's martial arts techniques? Darkshadow wondered.
Shaking his head, Darkshadow quickly dispelled such a rebellious thought. He could never accept that the Assassin Sect would steal martial arts techniques from others.
Aside from this brief encounter, Darkshadow did not come to Xia Fei's room again. The Pitron-class destroyer quickly followed its predetermined path and entered a completely unfamiliar space.
As usual, Xia Fei spent his days practicing his martial arts techniques aside from eating and sleeping. However, his microcomputer had been taken away, so he had no way of connecting to the interplanetary internet, reading books, or looking at the super radar blueprints.
Xia Fei used his memory to visualize the radar blueprint in his mind, then he modified and redesigned it. Without a blueprint as a reference, it was not very efficient to visualize it with just his brain, but Xia Fei still enjoyed it. He would often enter a state of mental trance, so much so that he even forgot to eat.
Of course, Darkshadow could clearly see this through the surveillance system in the room. The more time passed, the more he felt that there was nothing wrong with Xia Fei. Only a magnanimous person would be able to remain so calm in a predicament. If Xia Fei was lying, he should be worrying about his own fate instead of calmly continuing with his daily routine.
A gentleman should be magnanimous, but a villain should be worried. That was the meaning of the saying.
Hurry up and get back as soon as possible, Darkshadow ordered. The doubts in his heart were like sharp needles on his back, preventing him from sleeping. Even eating was tasteless and tasteless.
In the blink of an eye, they had traveled for six days. On this day, Xia Fei was sitting cross-legged on his bed, cultivating the Beast Spirit Codex, when Phantom suddenly said, Xia Fei, weve arrived.
Xia Fei curiously stood up and walked over to the porthole. What he saw was a blue planet. The planet was not big, about one-fifth the size of Earth. Blue seawater covered the surface of the planet, and there was very little land. There were even white ice belts at the two poles.
"This planet is called Nameless. It's the base of our Assassin Sect." Gui Ying said. Finally, he had the opportunity to return to the hometown where he once lived and lived. Gui Ying's voice was slightly excited.
"Nameless killer, nameless killer." Xia Fei muttered to himself, "Phantom, your ancestors are much more poetic than you. The Assassin Sect is a reclusive assassin organization, so it's only fitting that they're living on a planet called Nameless."
There was only one piece of land on the Nameless Planet, and it was not very large. From the sky, it looked more like a long and narrow island, surrounded by turquoise seawater and dotted with green, like seaweed floating on the sea.
The warship slowly landed on a hidden landing pad in the forest. This place was backed by a tall mountain, and it was surrounded by dense trees.
The flora and fauna were sparse, but the mountain was rather imposing. It was majestic and towered into the clouds, occupying the most prominent position. The foot of the mountain was covered in green, while the peak was covered in white snow. It was in no way inferior to the Himalayas.
After the warship came to a stop, Xia Fei followed Darkshadow out of the ship. Xia Fei took a deep breath of fresh air and looked around. He could see several well-maintained small warships parked around him. Most of them were guardian-grade, and though they were not big, they were well-equipped.
The cost of maintaining and modifying a warship far exceeded the cost of purchasing it. Xia Fei could be considered an expert when it came to warships, so he could tell the value of the equipment at a glance. Coupled with the fact that the landing pad was paved with expensive black crystal alloy, it seemed that the Assassin Sect was a wealthy sect.
Another warship appeared in the sky. This was Xia Fei's Vampire. Darkshadow had sent someone else to drive this ship back, not leaving it in the trial grounds.
Six Deathguards surrounded Xia Fei, maintaining a certain distance from him. Darkshadow walked shoulder to shoulder with Xia Fei as they made their way up the mountain.
Xia Fei met quite a few disciples of the Assassin Sect along the way. Most of them were very young, with some not even five or six years old, still children. They were all wearing the same clothes, and they walked silently, showing that they had cultivated well.
Perhaps it was because they rarely saw outsiders, but the way they looked at Xia Fei was very strange, as if they were looking at a precious panda. Xia Fei did not mind, smiling at them as he greeted them in a friendly manner.
Darkshadow nodded to himself, thinking that Xia Fei was showing respect to his sect, feeling a little proud of himself.
The mountain was tall and the road was long. There would be a platform at regular intervals, which was like a white belt built around the mountain. There were many rooms on both sides of the road. From an architectural point of view, the residences and cultivation places of these Assassins could at best be described as practical, a little too plain, but the quality of the construction was not bad.
The closer they got to the peak, the older the people they met. It seemed that where they lived was also arranged according to seniority.
The new disciples all live at the foot of the mountain. As the years they have been in the sect increase, they will climb higher. Back then, I made it all the way to the ninth floor from the foot of the mountain. As for those disciples who do not meet the requirements, they are not qualified to live on the mountain, Phantom explained to Xia Fei.
Xia Fei nodded. His eyes scanned the area from top to bottom. There were a total of thirteen floors, including the peak. Phantom lived on the ninth floor, which meant that he had been in the sect for a long time and had a high status. Xia Fei wondered what kind of people lived on the peak.
The group stopped on the tenth floor. Right in the center was an old house of about eight hundred square meters. It was the largest room on this floor, and Darkshadow led Xia Fei inside.
The old house was divided into three rooms, with simple decorations and many tables and chairs. It seemed to be where the Assassins gathered. Darkshadow pushed open the door and brought Xia Fei to a smaller side hall on the left.
Feel free to take a seat. I'll be right back, Darkshadow said.
Xia Fei nodded. He picked up a chair and sat down. The masked Deathguards stood to his left and right like statues.
A few moments later, Darkshadow led the other two old men in. The Deathguards immediately closed the door and retreated outside, leaving only Xia Fei and the three old men in the room.
They sat across from Xia Fei, and Darkshadow introduced the other two old men to Xia Fei.
Sitting at the head of the table was a fat old man who looked fair and tender. His two triangular eyes were squinted together, and he had a goatee on his chin. This was Phantom's elder martial uncle, Silvershadow.
Sitting at the end was Phantom's master, Moonshadow. He was skinny, but his eyes were sharp. He had a pair of large ears, as if he had two palm-leaf fans sticking out of his head. He could use them to fan himself on hot days and use them as umbrellas on rainy days.
The Assassins were all orphans, so the people in the sect were all named after shadows. Silvershadow, Darkshadow, and Moonshadow were the people in charge of the sect at the moment, and they all had extremely high prestige.
Xia Fei looked at Phantom's master again and again. He had always been curious as to what kind of person could have trained a freak like Phantom.
Moonshadow did not avoid Xia Fei's gaze. His fingers were moving around as if he was secretly playing some kind of game.
It was possible to judge a person's personality from their daily actions. Even in front of his two senior brothers, | Yue Yin was still up to his tricks, so it was obvious that he was the kind of person with an active mind. He might even be someone who liked to recite poems like Phantom did, but it just so happened that he had joined the Assassin Sect. Otherwise, he would have been an elegant and carefree person.
The second senior, Darkshadow, was the serious and inflexible type who liked to take everything seriously. Xia Fei had brought him into the sect just because Xia Fei joked with him, trying every possible way to find the truth.
As for the eldest senior, Silvershadow, Xia Fei did not like him. This person was calm and collected, his beady eyes darting around. Even his face looked very cunning. Xia Fei guessed that he was an old fox with a sinister heart. He pretended to be righteous because he was the eldest senior, but unfortunately, his shrewd and cunning eyes had already betrayed him.
Darkshadow explained Xia Fei's situation to his two seniors. When he mentioned the murder in the cave, a hint of ruthlessness flashed across Silvershadow's eyes, but he very quickly suppressed it and did not attract anyone's attention.
Phantom had already told Xia Fei that the pretty boy, Greenshadow, who died, was a disciple of his eldest senior, and his father was Silvershadow's personal disciple. Xia Fei had killed Greenshadow, so of course this grandmaster would stand up for his grand-disciple.
Meanwhile, Ye Ying, who had been cuckolded, was a disciple of the eldest senior.
Darkshadow appeared to be much more magnanimous than the eldest senior. He was not in a hurry to pursue the matter and instead wanted to clarify the matter of stealing the ultimate technique, which was a huge disgrace to the sect.
Xia Fei felt a headache coming on. There were many people in the Assassin Sect, and their relationships were complicated. Even their names were similar. Most people would probably get their names wrong if they had not lived in the sect for many years.
With the introductions done, Darkshadow returned to his seat. Silvershadow snorted coldly and asked in a gloomy tone, What's your name?
Darkshadow had already introduced himself, yet Silvershadow still wanted to ask for his name again. This made Xia Fei very unhappy, but he still smiled and said, My name is Xia Fei.
"Where are you from?"
I'm from Earth.
Where's Earth?
It's on the outskirts of the Endaro Star System. I just joined the Pan-Human Alliance not long ago.
Silvershadow's question was somewhat bureaucratic, and | Yue Ying covered his mouth and yawned, seemingly a little annoyed.
"Were you the one who killed Green Shadow?" After a long interrogation, Silver Shadow finally got to the point.
Xia Fei smiled. Yes, back then …
