Mu family of Black Water
Clean Knife was actually among this group of unfamiliar Law Adepts? Xia Fei could not help but wonder.
Logically speaking, this assassin who always had a smile on his face was Xia Fei's enemy, and Xia Fei's attitude toward his enemies was very simple: Kill!
However, Clean Knife was a special case. He had already made an enemy of Xia Fei twice, and both times, he managed to escape. Xia Fei even suspected that this fellow was blessed by the God of Luck. There were not many enemies who could escape from him, let alone twice.
Clean Knife smiled at Xia Fei, but there was no killing intent in that smile. Instead, it was as if he was reuniting with an old friend.
Xia Fei nodded, not saying a word.
At this moment, there were quite a few experts by his side. Even if Xia Fei wanted to kill him, there was no need for him to be in such a hurry. Xia Fei was not that foolish to make an enemy out of a bunch of unfamiliar Law Adepts. The battle with the Demon Chrysalis had already left him very weak, so it was better for him to save himself first.
Whoosh!
Two old men suddenly appeared in the crowd. The two of them looked like they were carved from the same mold. They were ninety percent similar, except that one had a white beard and the other had a black beard.
"Did you kill this Demon Chrysalis?" the black-bearded elder asked.
Xia Fei nodded.
"May I ask which clan are you from?"
Xia Fei answered, "I belong to the Yu family."
"The Yujiang Clan that studies the Law of Space?" the white-bearded old man asked.
"That's right."
The two elders nodded in unison and muttered to themselves, "Oh, so it's a warrior from the Yu Family. It seems that the Yu Family hasn't declined as much as the rumors say. On the contrary, they've produced quite a good young talent."
The black-bearded old man frowned. "Young man, what is your cultivation level?"
He was very confused. From the looks of it, Xia Fei did not seem like a so-called expert, but the withered corpse in front of him was an eyesore. Without sufficient cultivation, it was impossible to kill a Demon Chrysalis. This was a principle that even children in the Law Realm understood.
"Level 4 cultivation," Xia Fei said plainly.
"Oh, so you've already become a Law Sovereign at such a young age. Our apologies for not recognizing you," the two old men said in surprise.
Xia Fei shrugged and somewhat embarrassedly said, "The two old men have guessed wrongly. I'm actually just a level 4 Law Warrior."
Shocking!
Extreme shock!
Everyone nearly fainted. A puny level 4 Law Warrior had single-handedly killed a Demon Chrysalis!
This was simply a myth!
No one would believe it, and no one dared to believe it!
"Did I hear that right? He's only a level 4 Law Warrior? "
"Could it be a lie?"
The sounds of discussion rose and fell, and the eyes looking at Xia Fei were filled with shock and doubt.
The white-bearded and black-bearded old men looked at each other in disbelief.
"Are you really just a level 4 Law Warrior?"
"Yes."
Blackbeard let out a bitter laugh. "Well, even a Law Warrior of the Yu family can slay a Demon Chrysalis all by himself. This world sure is weird."
Clean Knife secretly gave Xia Fei a thumbs up, a smile on his face.
Xia Fei pursed his lips. He always had an indescribable feeling toward Clean Knife, and for some reason, Xia Fei did not have much of a dislike for him despite having made enemies with him twice. Perhaps it was because of his melancholy temperament, or perhaps it was because of his strange smile, but in any case, Xia Fei felt that Clean Knife was a special case.
Their shock and curiosity toward Xia Fei did not diminish in the slightest. This group of Law Adepts were quietly discussing among themselves, though none of them could come to a conclusion. In their eyes, Xia Fei was an extremely bizarre existence.
"Excuse me, where is this place? How do I get back to the Yu family? " Xia Fei asked. He could not be bothered to explain the details of how he killed the Demon Chrysalis. Blood Crystal, Peacock Blue, Law of Primal Chaos — these were all his secrets, and the fewer people who knew about them, the better.
The white-bearded man said, "This is the Mu family of Blackwater. I'm Mu Tielin, and this is my older brother, Mu Tiehai. We're both elders of the family.
"All the great families can use the Spatial Gate to communicate with each other, so it's nothing difficult. Wait a moment; us brothers have something to say."
With that, Mu Tielin and Mu Tiehai suddenly vanished into thin air.
"We can't let this young man live!" the black-bearded Mu Tiehai said in a deep voice.
"Why?"
"Think about it. He's only a level 4 Law Warrior, yet he can kill a Demon Chrysalis all by himself. In time, he'll surely become a pillar of the Yu family. If we can get rid of him, we can prevent the Yu family from rising again!" Mu Tiehai said viciously.
Mu Tielin laughed. "Brother, do you really believe what he said? I don't think his cultivation is as simple as a Law Warrior's, but he's still able to talk and laugh beside the two of us. Just that attitude alone is not to be underestimated. "
"But I've observed him carefully, and this young man's cultivation seems to be really poor," Mu Tiehai said doubtfully.
Mu Tielin said, "Experts who hide their cultivation the most love it. Besides, even if he's really just a level 4 Law Warrior, we still can't touch him. There's probably only a handful of people with such potential in the entire circle, so the Yu family will definitely pay close attention to him. If we touch him, we'll be inviting trouble upon ourselves, and the Yu family won't let this go easily. If you get rid of their best seedling, isn't that the same as cutting off the Yu family's livelihood?
"Though it's been rumored that the Yu family is on the decline these past few years, their patriarch, Yu Jiang, is still alive. You should know that a starving camel is still bigger than a horse, right? Besides, their family still has an unconventional existence, Yu Hua, who's also a Great Law Emperor. Though he's long since faded from the family, can you guarantee that he won't return?"
Mu Tiehai nodded repeatedly. "That's a reasonable analysis. A family having two Great Law Emperors is indeed terrifying. Back in the day, Yu Hua was one of the top young elites in the circle, possessing a hundred percent open brain region. We have to be wary of him."
They were all Law Emperors, but above level 5, there was an additional "Great". The two were speaking from a distance, so Xia Fei did not hear them. He would never have imagined that the unscrupulous merchant Yu Hua, who had led him into the Law Realm, would actually be a Great Law Emperor!
For someone with such a profound cultivation to become a merchant was rather strange.
"Then what should we do?" Mu Tiehai asked.
"Let's inform the Yu family to come pick him up and do them a favor. The Yu family has two Great Law Emperors, and an elite with such potential has appeared among the younger generation. Looks like the rumors of the Yu family's decline aren't true, so it's best if we don't become enemies with them for the time being."
Mu Tiehai sighed. "That's the only thing we can do. Though the Yu family has few experts, they have quite a few elites. Otherwise … hmph!"
…
Xia Fei had just arrived in the Law Realm, so he did not know just how dangerous it was. He had seen cannibalism before, but he had underestimated the people of the Law Realm. Here, everyone was constantly plotting how to trample their opponents to death.
Friends?
There were no such things as friends in the Law Realm!
Mu Tielin and Mu Tiehai were discussing whether or not they should kill Xia Fei, and Clean Knife took this opportunity to sneak over, a smile on his face.
"A level 4 Law Warrior?" Clean Knife chuckled. "I never thought that I'd actually meet you here."
"If you can come, why can't I?" Xia Fei retorted.
"That's not what I mean. Everyone else who comes to the Law Realm must first be secretly selected by their families before they have to go through the trials of the Heritage Planet, but you were chosen by no one, and you didn't even pass the trials, skipping a level to get here."
Xia Fei was slightly taken aback. "Does that mean that you've passed the fourth trial of the Heritage Planet?"
Xia Fei was of course well aware of the dangers of the Heritage Planet. If Clean Knife had really passed the fourth trial, his strength would most likely be much higher than Xia Fei's!
Clean Knife let out a bitter laugh. "Nope. No one has been able to pass the fourth trial for several hundred years, which is why the Law Realm has changed the rules. Those who haven't passed the trial but have the potential can still get here. These families need to replenish their blood, don't they? If they were to stick to the old rules, they'd probably be long gone. I heard that there are even people who personally go to the Alliance to select seedlings. "
Xia Fei nodded. He had passed the trial of the Heritage Planet once, but it was a pity that he had gone to a long-abandoned Heritage Planet, so there was no way for him to connect to the second trial. It was impossible for him to pass the fourth trial.
The Heritage Planet was the traditional method for these Law families to select seedlings. Any family with enough strength would establish a similar system in the Alliance. The reason why the system Xia Fei had gone to had been abandoned was probably because that family had long since disappeared from the Law Realm, which was why the legacy system they had left behind was left unattended.
That was when the two elders of the Mu family returned to face Xia Fei.
Mu Tielin deliberately coughed twice. "Xia Fei, we'll send someone to the Yu family to confirm your identity and inform them to come and pick you up. The great families of the Law Realm share the same roots, so it's only right for us to take care of each other."
Just a few minutes ago, Blackbeard and Whitebeard were still discussing whether or not they should kill Xia Fei, but now, they were acting like gentlemen. The speed at which their attitudes changed was so fast that it left one speechless!
"I wonder what you're planning to do with the corpse of this Demon Chrysalis?" Mu Tielin suddenly asked.
Xia Fei was slightly taken aback. Since Mu Tielin had brought this up, the corpse must have some value.
"Sell it, of course," Xia Fei casually replied.
Mu Tielin was an impatient person, so he directly said, "I'll give you a hundred grade 3 Origin Crystals, but leave the corpse behind."
A hundred grade 3 Origin Crystals was a huge fortune to Xia Fei! What he lacked the most right now was this thing. Not only did he need to cultivate, but Furball also needed to eat. In the Law Realm, having Origin Crystals was equivalent to having everything!
It was just that Xia Fei did not know the true value of this corpse, so he had no idea how much it was worth.
Frowning, Xia Fei probed, "Isn't that price a little low?"
Mu Tielin coldly harrumphed, appearing somewhat displeased. Beside him, Mu Tielin chuckled. "My brother is just joking with you. A Demon Chrysalis's corpse should be worth at least a thousand grade 3 Origin Crystals, but your fight with the Demon Chrysalis destroyed quite a few of the Mu family's buildings, so you should be paying some compensation.
"Besides, this Demon Chrysalis's corpse is very strange and shriveled, as if its blood essence had been sucked dry, so four hundred grade 3 Origin Crystals should be a reasonable price."
Xia Fei laughed. "Don't forget, though this Demon Chrysalis's corpse is shriveled, it's a species that's about to evolve."
"About to evolve!"
