Nine-armored Land Drake
Whoosh! Whoosh!
After the secret signal was sent out, more and more people gathered in the bamboo forest. In a short while, there were dozens of people.
"Uncle Shui, did you call us here for a mission?" Everyone in Hyacinth had a nickname, and because of Otter's seniority and the fact that he was the father of the group's leader, he was usually called Uncle Water.
"Uncle Shui, where is Brother Feng? Is he not participating in this mission?"
Elder Otter tossed his cane aside and rested in the forest. In truth, the lifespan of the Law Realm was very long, and Otter was far from reaching the point where he needed a cane. His body was still in good shape, and the reason why he had pretended to be old and feeble was purely out of an impersonator's instinct.
More and more people came. The camouflaged elites were well-trained, and they finished gathering within ten minutes. Some were squatting on the ground, some were sitting on the treetops, and some were actually trees in disguise.
Seeing that Hyacinth had yet to arrive and Otter was resting, everyone could only quietly wait for the mission to be announced.
Sakura shuttled through the crowd, trying her best to be cute. She called out "uncle" very intimately. The simple and honest Sambo kept following her. He seemed to want to say something, but couldn't open his mouth no matter what.
Seeing that everyone was present, Old Otter slowly opened his eyes and let out a long sigh. His gaze swept across his disciples and grand-disciples.
"There is indeed a reason why I have gathered everyone here today. However, it is not for a mission," Otter said solemnly.
"Oh, then what is it? Brother Feng told us that if we don't go on a mission, it's best if we split up to avoid attracting attention. "
Otter's face darkened, and he said unhappily, "If there wasn't anything important, would this old man have gathered all of you here? This concerns the honor of Hyacinth and the dignity of the Purple Blood Rockies! "
Old Otter's gaze swept across the room once more, and there was a hint of fanaticism in his eyes. Everyone did not know what was going on, but Otter had raised this matter to the level of the entire race's dignity. Everyone guessed that this was no small matter, and they were a little excited.
"Just now, Breeze lost. His disguise was seen through, and he even beat Sakura up," Otter said bitterly.
"What?! Brother Feng lost!? "
"Who the hell did this? How dare you hit our little sister Sakura! "
"Humiliation! It's a great humiliation! "
Everyone turned to look at Sakura, and she took the opportunity to pretend to be aggrieved, secretly wiping away a few tears, though she was actually overjoyed. Seeing how indignant everyone was, it was likely that they would not let Xia Fei off so easily.
Old Otter was a shrewd man. Seeing that everyone was getting excited, he knew that his chance had come.
"Actually, Wind and Sakura were seen through, so it's not a big deal for them to teach them a lesson," Otter said helplessly. "Who asked us to be weaker than them?"
As soon as he said that, everyone became unhappy on the spot.
"Uncle Shui, Sakura is the treasure of our Loki Clan. How can an outsider teach her!"
"That's right. This person is too outrageous. How dare he hit our precious Sakura!"
"How could Brother Feng's defense be lost? It must have been an accident."
Old Otter waved his arm, and everyone quietened down, breathing heavily. Their hearts were filled with indignation. Hyacinth had single-handedly established the impersonation organization, and it had a glorious record, earning him the respect of everyone. Now, not only had Boss Feng been overthrown, but even his daughter had been beaten up. How could anyone accept this?
As the saying went, they were bound together for good or ill. Hyacinth did not represent a single person but a top-notch organization that had not tasted defeat in twenty-five years!
"Sigh, that person's name is Ah Fei. His origins are unknown, and his methods are vicious. He actually said that our Hyacinth has an undeserved reputation and that the Rockies are all fame-seeking people. Even an outsider like him can see through impersonation, so he must not have any real ability.
"I originally thought that I was being magnanimous and didn't want to bother with that arrogant young man, but now that he's even slandering our entire Purple Blooded Rockies, how can this old man take it?"
Everyone was shocked when they heard that. Everyone was already unhappy with Xia Fei bullying Sakura, saying that the entire Rockies were trash, which had angered everyone!
Some of the more impatient ones raised their weapons, wanting to settle the score with Xia Fei. Even those who were more composed could not hold themselves back, their faces red as they listened to Elder Otter's instructions.
Sakura hid in a corner and snickered, thinking, 'I'll definitely make that annoying bastard suffer this time!'
Sambo hesitantly patted Sakura's shoulder. "You … You're no good. Uncle Hyacinth will be angry."
Sakura was just about to explode when she suddenly thought of something and smiled sweetly at Sambo. "Brother Sambo, you're afraid that my father will be angry, but don't you care that Sakura is wronged?"
* Shing! *
Sambo's purplish face turned red on the spot. This silly lad truly had no resistance against a lady, so he immediately changed his mind, claiming that he would definitely stand up for Sakura, even if he were to be chased out of the family in the future.
"Stop!"
Old Otter stood up, and everyone fell silent. They were all waiting for this old man to give the order to charge forward and tear Xia Fei to shreds!
"Impersonators should follow the rules of us impersonators. Recklessness won't do."
Everyone nodded, agreeing with Otter's words.
Actually, Otter had other considerations as well. He had clearly seen Xia Fei's moves earlier, and impersonators were very particular about observing one's words and body language. They needed to know what kind of person they could charge in and what kind of tricks they needed.
Putting aside the fact that Xia Fei had the Guardian Law Emperor Seth by his side, even Xia Fei himself was hard to deal with. His moves were fast and vicious, and if they were to really recklessly fight, the hundred or so people he had with him might not be a match for him. That was why he decided to use the method this team was most proficient in: impersonation! Deception!
"I saw it with my own eyes. Ah Fei pointed a dark red dagger at Sakura, and the edge of the blade was just inches away from injuring her. We need to get our hands on his weapon or spatial ring and teach him an unforgettable lesson! We need to let him know that Hyacinth is a true elite of the industry. His undefeated streak for twenty-five years is all thanks to his own ability! "
Everyone was excited, thinking that Old Otter's idea was brilliant.
As long as they could take Xia Fei's most beloved weapon, he would have no choice but to admit his mistake!
It was a huge taboo for a warrior to lose their weapon! It was no different from a slap in the face!
This was a move that was even more ruthless than killing him!
Orders were issued one after another, and the most outstanding impersonation team in Exiled Grounds quickly got to work. Everyone was holding their breath, determined to give Xia Fei a taste of their own medicine!
…
After leaving Hyacinth's house, Xia Fei thought of a countermeasure as he walked.
Now that Hyacinth had made it clear that he would not accept Xia Fei's mission, Xia Fei had no choice but to think of another way.
White Horse Constellation, the Yu family … These were places that Xia Fei could not get close to. After all, the one million grade 4 Origin Crystals on the bounty had already pushed Xia Fei to the heart of the struggle.
This was not the first time, but it was the first time Xia Fei had been targeted by so many super experts. He needed to be more careful and vigilant than before.
In order to unveil the layers of veil behind Yuhua, Xia Fei needed to send someone over. Moon Song could help him keep an eye on the Yu family, and Xia Fei would never allow her to be in danger. He also needed to find a person, or even a group of people, to enter White Horse Constellation and work for him. Even if he could not kill his enemies, he would at least make them suffer!
The impersonator was the main focus of Xia Fei's overall plan. Now that Hyacinth had rejected Xia Fei, could it be that he had to look for the Shepherdians?
Xia Fei shook his head. The Shepherdians had never left a good impression on Xia Fei. If it was just to wreak havoc on his enemies, the Shepherdians would indeed be a good choice. This was because they were more ruthless and had no regard for the rules. However, what Xia Fei needed now was to uncover the mastermind behind the scenes, and the reckless Shepherdians did not fit the bill.
Lionheart Emperor Oro pursed his lips and said with a hint of dissatisfaction, "Better get rid of Quinn first and then look for the impersonator. If Quinn manages to escape, it won't be worth it."
Xia Fei smiled. "Don't worry. It's not like I'm only staying in the Exiled Grounds for a day. He won't be able to escape. Instead, for you to be in such a hurry to get me to look for him, I'm afraid you have some other goal in mind, right?"
Oro felt depressed and helplessly said, "Quinn has a copy of the Law of Life, so I need to get rid of it as soon as possible. Once word gets out that my enemies have it, all the hard work I put into refusing to hand over the Law of Life back then will all go to waste.
"Besides, Quinn has taken several other things aside from the Law of Life, so we need to get them back as soon as possible."
Xia Fei was puzzled. "Since you're so concerned about it, those things must be pretty good."
The old demon lord did not say anything, which was a tacit agreement. Xia Fei could not help but wonder just what it was that Oro was so eager to get back. Aside from Quinn's life, there must be some unspeakable secret!
"Master, where are we going now?" Seth asked with a dark expression. He was the one who had brought Xia Fei to look for Hyacinth, and now that Hyacinth refused to budge, Seth felt very embarrassed.
"Let's go to the mercenary base in the city. I still need a few men."
Seth was energized. "There are a few large mercenary groups in Exiled Grounds, such as the Wyvern Society, Peace's Gate, Bull, and Starmoon Forest. They're all very powerful, but it's a pity that I don't have much contact with these top-notch mercenary groups, so I can't introduce you to them. After all, my line of work doesn't have a good reputation in the circle, so the large mercenary groups aren't too willing to deal with us."
Xia Fei understood very well that a Law Emperor like Seth could only lower his head and admit defeat when he encountered a powerful enemy. He could not even find a helper, and it was all because he had been too unscrupulous in the past, incurring the wrath of the masses. Though Hyacinth had spoken politely today, he was still looking down on Seth. His relations with others were simply terrible, but this was normal. Who asked this fellow to be involved in the business of abducting people, to the point where his sons did not even have an anus?
"It's fine. It's not like I'm looking for a mercenary group," Xia Fei casually replied. Xia Fei was not going to tell Seth everything he had in mind, for he was not yet qualified to do so.
Xia Fei thought of a plan as he walked, leaving the bamboo forest and arriving at a wooden bridge. The bridge was no more than two meters wide, and beneath it was a crystal clear stream.
All he saw on the bridge was a hubbub of voices as seven or eight people were surrounding an old man, arguing. They were all dressed like warriors, wearing armor of various colors and wielding weapons.
"It seems to be a mercenary group passing by. Though their armor is different, they're all wearing the same red scarf with the image of a steed on it. That's the symbol mercenaries usually use, to prevent them from accidentally injuring one another," Seth whispered into Xia Fei's ear. Seth whispered into Xia Fei's ear. Having failed to convince Hyacinth, Seth was very eager to prove himself to Xia Fei.
Xia Fei's eyes were sharp, and he had long seen through this group of people.
What he was interested in was the large lizard that was entrenched beside the old man!
There were nine vertical scales on its back, all of them bright red, like the afterglow of the setting sun. A pair of small golden eyes were glaring at the group of mercenaries, and from time to time, it would lick out its pink, whip-like tongue.
Immortal Beast King, Nine-armored Land Drake? Xia Fei's eyes lit up as he muttered to himself.
PS: I was woken up by the sound of firecrackers. Only then did I remember that today was New Year's Eve. During the New Year, Jiu 'er, like everyone else, needed to visit their relatives and friends. Due to being locked away from writing all year round, many of their relatives and friends had not seen each other for a year or even several years. It was inevitable that they would gather for a few drinks and catch up.
Therefore, the updates will definitely slow down for the next few days. I'm going to take a break from everyone. It's the New Year, and everyone is having fun and getting red packets. I'll let Jiu 'er rest for a few days. If anyone wants to give Jiu' er a red packet, then Jiu 'er will thank everyone here!
Today was the only night watch. Tomorrow and the day after would be the highlight of the show. There might not be time to write. Besides, the noisy firecrackers made people feel uneasy. Even if they forced themselves to write, it would not be enough.
In addition, the Book of Changes says that this year is the Year of the Water Dragon. The flood is raging, and a hidden dragon is born!
Jiu Er wasn't a teacher who dabbled in metaphysics. It was purely a hobby, so it wasn't appropriate for her to say anything. If anyone was interested, they could check it out online.
