Xia Fei was well aware that Yuhua was far stronger than anyone imagined. Even without Xia Fei, it was not impossible for Yuhua to single-handedly wipe out Dark Ghost's group.
However, he suddenly thought of a problem. The combination of him and Yuhua was very strange.
Xia Fei was a newly promoted Law Warrior, and just like in the Alliance, he did not rely too much on the guidance of instructors. He spent most of his time on his own, cultivating and studying alone. He lived in the Yu family, yet he wandered away from it.
Although Yuhua was a member of the Yu family, he could not be considered close to the family. Yuhua had no position in the family and merely existed as an independent merchant.
He was a maverick who did not like to rely on others.
After passing through the Spatial Gate was a massive city, chaotic and prosperous. The sun in the west had yet to set, but another sun was rising in the east, making this city and this planet seem very strange.
"This is Casa, one of the most prosperous commercial planets in the circle. Because three suns rotate, there is no night here, and it is bathed in sunlight all day, so it's also called the Sleepless Market," Yuhua said to Xia Fei.
Xia Fei frowned. "Didn't we say we were going to Dark Ghost's lair? Why did we come to the market?"
Yuhua smiled. "Dark Ghost is very crafty. No one knows where his lair is, but I've already investigated. The brothers Yu Guhe and Yu Qinghe, as well as those assassins who want to capture you, all made this place as their first stop.
"Both spatial compasses and Spatial Gates can be tracked by the Law Enforcement Board, but they vanished without a trace once they got here. Presumably, there's a transit point in Casa Market that they used to get to Dark Ghost's lair. Our first step is to investigate this place and find the subordinates Dark Ghost planted in the market."
The market stretched all the way to the horizon, and there was a surging tide of people. There were several Spatial Gates, and people would arrive or leave every second. Finding traces of Dark Ghost was not an easy task.
"A chaotic and bustling market is the most suitable place for all sorts of dirty businesses. Casa is also a very famous black market in the circle. Coming out with me this time will allow you to broaden your horizons and understand the dark side of the Law Realm," Yuhua softly said.
Xia Fei did not have any objections. He had always been very curious, and while the black market represented filth, it also contained opportunities. Plenty of good stuff that could not see the light of day would be traded here. As long as he had a good eye, he might even be able to trade for one or two useful items.
Yuhua and Xia Fei left the platform where the spatial gate was and entered the bustling bazaar. This place was as chaotic as a wet market, with people hawking their wares, brawling, and drunkards everywhere. There were rich people dressed extravagantly, high-level warriors with deep eyes, and wretched peddlers. All sorts of different characters were squeezed together, forming a strange combination.
"Let's find an inn to stay in first, then slowly explore," said Yuhua.
After passing through several busy alleys, they arrived at an unremarkable inn. Two drunkards were supporting each other as they vomited at the entrance. Xia Fei could not help but rub his nose. The environment here was truly terrible.
Pushing open the door and entering the gloomy little inn, the only person at the small reception desk was a fat woman. She was wearing a short skirt, revealing her black hairy elephant-like legs. Her entire body was oily, and she was chewing on something black in her mouth.
Seeing Yuhua and Xia Fei walk in, the fat woman did not even look up. She wiped her mouth with her hand and took out a key from a drawer, placing it on the table.
Yuhua nodded at her, grabbed the grease-stained key, and then went upstairs with Xia Fei.
"The best thing about a place like this is that no one will care what you do. If you go to a high-class hotel, you'll inevitably attract attention," Yuhua explained to Xia Fei.
The door to the room at the end of the second floor was opened, and the pungent smell of mildew wafted out. In truth, this was already the best room in the inn. Because it was at the end of the corridor, the three windows opened in three different directions, allowing for a wide field of vision.
Alas, all that came out of the window were vulgar noises and a mixture of smells from the streets. It would have been better to close the window.
The room was simple and messy. There were two beds, two chairs, two wardrobes, and one of them was missing half a door. The bedsheets were of all colors, looking like flags of all nations.
Yuhua took out two bottles of mineral water from his spatial ring and an exquisite white porcelain bottle. He took out two scarlet pills.
"This is Not Him. Eating it will change your appearance, and the effects will last for a week. Dark Ghost's subordinates might recognize us, so it's best if we change our appearances," Yuhua said.
After taking the pills and inspecting them, Yuhua put the pills under his tongue and swallowed them with a mouthful of water.
A few seconds later, Yuhua's very fair face had turned black. A thick beard grew out of his chin, and his facial features had shifted. He looked like the legendary Black Zhang Fei.
Taking a look in the mirror, Yuhua seemed very satisfied. "Not bad. The effects are excellent."
After carefully inspecting the pills, Phantom said, "There's no problem with this pill, but because it's mixed with Crane's Flame Grass, you'll look a little older if you eat it."
Xia Fei nodded. As long as it was not poisoned, he did not care who he became. It was just changing his appearance, so the bigger the difference, the better.
A few moments later, Xia Fei had turned into a ferocious middle-aged man. There was even a frightening scar on the right side of his face. With this ferocious face, he was able to scare people half to death before he even made a move.
Phantom hid in the corner and snickered. Xia Fei had always been a rather casual person, often smiling. It was precisely because of this that many enemies would mistake Xia Fei for being weak and easy to bully, making trouble for him.
Of course, those people who made trouble for Xia Fei had all died miserable deaths. This was because Xia Fei's casual appearance was only on the surface. His bones were brimming with violence and determination to kill.
Xia Fei could no longer play the role of someone who hid a dagger behind a smile. This was because his savage face and sharp eyes had already betrayed him, and his viciousness was written all over his face.
Frowning, Xia Fei was not satisfied with this face. It was too easy to make people wary, and there was no way he could catch them off guard and ruthlessly stab them in the back.
Hmm, not bad. Even those who are familiar with you will find it hard to recognize you. Yuhua nodded.
I'm going to meet someone now, so I'll be back later. It's up to you whether you want to stay in the hotel or go out to have some fun. If you run into any trouble, use this to contact me.
With that said, Yuhua tossed a satellite terminal to Xia Fei. This is an encrypted model. Don't worry about being eavesdropped.
Xia Fei nodded, and Yuhua turned to leave.
The room was simply too unbearable. Furball, who would usually lie down the moment he saw a bed, was sitting on Xia Fei's shoulder, constantly sighing, not even bothering to take a nap.
Xia Fei released Lil Pea from his spatial ring, and the diligent little robot immediately began cleaning the room without any complaints.
Fortunately, there was an automatic washing system in the bathroom, so Lil Pea very quickly cleaned the bedsheets and began wiping the windows and ceiling.
Furball and Xia Fei each had a bed. Furball was fast asleep, and Xia Fei immediately immersed himself in cultivating the Law of Space.
Level 5 was about to be completed, and every bit of strength he had meant an extra layer of protection. Xia Fei suppressed his desire to walk around the city center and patiently immersed himself in comprehending the Law.
After using up a grade 3 Origin Crystal, Xia Fei took out a second one. As his level increased, his energy consumption also began to accelerate. Every day, he needed a large amount of energy to support his cultivation progress. Originally, Xia Fei only needed a dozen or so grade 2 Origin Crystals to replenish himself, but now, he needed three hundred! The energy consumption had increased by twenty times!
"I'm getting closer. The fifth Law of Space totem is already ninety percent complete," Xia Fei said, stopping his cultivation.
Phantom nodded. "Overcultivating isn't a good idea. Rest for a while, and then break through in one go!"
The room was already very clean and tidy. Lil Pea had done many things during this time, while Furball had been sleeping the entire time.
Xia Fei put Lil Pea away and placed Furball in his arms before leaving the hotel and going to the city center.
This was his first time in Casa, so Xia Fei did not know what was interesting, so he aimlessly wandered around.
The gazes around him were very strange, and very few people dared to look Xia Fei in the eye. This was because his face was just too ferocious, like a god of death!
Xia Fei had never cared what others thought of him, so he did not care too much.
After turning a few streets, Xia Fei arrived at a relatively wide road.
The shops on both sides of the road were all selling weapons, and Xia Fei looked around with interest.
There were ordinary weapons and weapons imbued with Law, and their prices varied. Generally speaking, weapons imbued with Law were much more expensive, to the point that it would leave one speechless.
"This is a wrist armor imbued with a spatial barrier, possessing the defensive power of a Law Sovereign. If you're attacked, the barrier will automatically activate, turning into a steel wall that will protect you from danger!"
In a rather large shop, a salesperson pointed to a silver wrist guard in the middle of the hall. There were intricate patterns carved on it, and it shone brightly.
"A Law Sovereign level defense?" Xia Fei muttered to himself. "How much is this thing?"
"It's not expensive. One thousand grade 3 Origin Crystals will do. If you want it, I can even give you a ten percent discount," the short-bearded salesperson said.
Xia Fei shook his head. There was no way he could accept this price. While armor was good, he had a limited amount of money in his pocket. At the very most, he only had around seven hundred grade 3 Origin Crystals. Against these Law weapons that could easily sell for tens of millions, there was nothing he could do.
Walking out of the shop, Xia Fei looked up at the two suns overhead. Casa was always bright, and the temperature was very high. Yuhua had been gone for ten-some hours now, and there was not even the slightest news of him. Xia Fei could not help but feel somewhat anxious.
Suddenly, a small black dot rapidly approaching in the sky attracted Xia Fei's attention. It was as if something was falling from the stars.
The sunlight was so bright that Xia Fei found it difficult to see what it was.
* Pa! *
Xia Fei activated the long-range vision system on his armor, and he squinted to see.
"It's a meteor!" Xia Fei sternly said when he saw what was flying toward him.
There were many uncontrollable meteors flying through the universe, and they aimlessly scurried through the galaxy. Whether it was a spaceship or a planet, they would often be ambushed by these meteors, and it was impossible to defend against them!
They were extremely fast!
The meteor pierced through the atmosphere and entered Casa, where it burst into flames!
* Whoosh ~ *
It streaked across the sky above the market and crashed into the distance!
The billboards on both sides of the street stopped operating at the same time, and all electronic devices went silent as if they had all broken down!
