The wild beasts were heading for Wu City!
Early in the morning, Xia Fei finally walked out of the Wind Garden's inner treasury, looking somewhat tired.
The thin mist had yet to dissipate, but the Wind Garden was already bustling with activity. No one spoke. The elite warriors of the Heavenly Wing clan silently gathered in the back garden. Everyone put away their hobbies, found a corner, and closed their eyes to rest.
Xia Mang was polishing a double-edged Snake Blade over and over again. Even though the blade was already so shiny that it could reflect one's reflection, he did not stop what he was doing. Xia Fei knew that he was actually trying to ease the tension in his heart.
Seeing Xia Fei enter the back garden, everyone nodded at him in acknowledgment, still not saying a word. In this oppressive silence, Wind Garden gradually entered a state of readiness before a great battle, oppressive and determined.
"They seem to have something else on their minds?" The old demon lord was slightly taken aback as he said to Xia Fei, "The air here is too stifling. I can practically smell the stench of blood."
Xia Fei agreed with Oro's suggestion. He found a corner and sat down, his fingers constantly stroking his spatial ring.
Oro smiled. "Don't be nervous. The main force today is Xia Buyun and Xia Xia. You just have to do your part. Besides, you've made ample preparations, so there shouldn't be any problems."
Xia Fei shook his head. "Today's battle will decide the fate of the Skywing and Xiangyue Clans. No amount of preparation will be enough."
After a pause, Xia Fei added, "Look at the attitude of these family elites. It's very unusual. I'm guessing that there must be a reason for this. Who knows, this battle might be the fuse for an even bigger battle."
The old demon lord did not say anything. The Skywing clan was indeed acting strangely today. Logically speaking, they were not the ones fighting, so there was no need for them to be so nervous.
About five minutes later, the door to Xia Buyun's study was pushed open. He and Xia Chen had obviously already had a meeting and decided on something that no one else could understand.
Xia Buyun swept his gaze across the elites of his clan, and when his gaze landed on Xia Fei, he frowned slightly, though he did not say anything.
Xia Buyun raised his head, waved his hand, and said, "Fifth Lord will guard the house. Everyone else, follow me!"
Xia Fei was startled. Back at Plentiful Water Pavilion, they had agreed that only the participants would participate in the duel and that it would be kept a secret, but Xia Buyun was bringing all thirty-six Great Law Emperors of the Xia family! This was clearly against the rules!
Frowning, Xia Fei followed his warriors into the side garden. The location of the spatial gate was …
…
Whoosh ~
The wolves of the Xia Clan passed through the door and saw a battleship floating in the air. Through the huge floor-to-ceiling porthole, they could clearly see a desolate planet below the battleship. Thousands of miles of scorched earth were barren, and not a single blade of grass grew. This was probably the battlefield today.
Nodding at his warriors, indicating for them to stay here, Xia Buyun, Xia Fei, and Xia Xia walked along the long corridor together. An automatic door opened, and the three of them entered in silence.
"Xia Xia Xia". The room was in, and Xia, Xia Xia Xia, and Xia Xia, Xia Xia, the "Xia," Yi and "X,"
The three of them sat down, and Xia Fei curiously asked, "Patriarch, didn't you say that outsiders aren't allowed to spectate today?"
Xia Buyun looked out the window and sternly said, "Last night, when you were in the inner treasury, the rules were changed. Xiang Yue asked the other great clans to watch the duel to ensure fairness, and the higher-ups agreed to their request. This warship is the one the Soaring Dragon Clan arranged to watch the duel. Besides us, there are ten-some other great clans from the White Horse Constellation who have gathered their elites here."
Xia Fei said nothing. Suddenly changing the rules before the duel could only mean that Xiang Yue had some other trick up his sleeve. It was not a good thing.
The Law Emperor raised his glasses as if he had suddenly thought of something. He said to Xia Fei, "By the way, I've found out what you asked me to find out. That friend of yours called Gu Tong has already been killed by Yu Hua, along with his family of fourteen."
"In addition, the Roaring Tiger Park you were originally in charge of in the Yu family has been abandoned. Several employees and their families, even the exotic beasts in the Roaring Tiger Park, were killed. Also, for some reason, Yu Hua killed a merchant called Haoping and a lady called Julie. Sigh. In short, everyone in the Yu family who had any dealings with you has been secretly killed by Yu Hua."
Xia Fei's expression turned ugly. Gu Tong was the mentor who had brought him in. When others looked down on him the most, he was the one who stood up for him. How could he forget this favor?
Those brothers in the Roaring Tiger Park who made a living under Xia Fei could be considered his trusted subordinates, but who did those exotic beasts in the Roaring Tiger Park offend? Even they had been killed by Yu Hua?
There was also Haoping, an ordinary merchant. Just because he had helped Xia Fei exchange crystals a few times and sold Xia Fei some miscellaneous items, he ended up being implicated.
The most pitiful was Julie. She was an average-looking girl with short hair. Perhaps it was because she had seen Xia Fei in the Alliance, Julie would often peek out the window when Xia Fei was in training, her eyes filled with admiration. However, the two of them had not spoken a single word to each other, and even this had not escaped Yu Hua's purge?
Xia Fei's face was ashen as he clenched his fists. Yu Hua's methods were chilling. Everything was just an illusion. He was a sinister and ruthless villain!
Xia Xia nodded and sternly said, "You saw Yu Hua and the Xiangyue family besieging the Yu family on Snake Isle, but you didn't choose to stand with Yu Hua. Now, it looks like it was the right decision. If you had compromised with him back then, you would have ended up the same as those innocent people who died."
Xia Fei turned away. It was true that Yuhua had treated Xia Fei quite well in the past, but when Xia Fei saw how Yuhua had ganged up on the old patriarch on Snake Isle, Xia Fei immediately understood that the man was untrustworthy. Even if he stood on Yuhua's side and barely managed to preserve his life, he would surely be silenced later on, which was why he had chosen to stand against Yuhua without any hesitation.
"If I run into Yu Hua today, I'll make him suffer a fate worse than death!" Xia Fei clenched his fists as he muttered to himself, each word brimming with killing intent!
Xia Buyun and Xia Xia shook their heads at the same time. "You won't have the chance to run into Yu Hua, because your opponent is Xiang Jincheng."
Xia Fei was startled. It turned out that the order of the fight had already been decided without his knowledge. Xia Fei was going up against Xiang Jincheng, the strongest Law Overlord of the Xiangyue Clan!
This was the situation that the Skywing Clan hoped to see the most. This way, both Xia Buyun and Xia Xia Xia were absolutely confident in their chances against Yu Hua and Xiang Wucheng! There was no need for Xia Fei to appear. The outcome of this battle was already decided!
However, Xia Fei did not show any excitement. He could tell from the performance of Xia Buyun, Xia Xia, and the other elites of Skywing today that this sort of draw was undoubtedly the best for Skywing, but their attitudes had changed overnight! There was clearly something fishy about this!
"When was it decided by drawing lots?" Xia Fei asked.
"It was also last night. The Feng family of Longteng suddenly notified us to draw lots. You were in the inner treasury at the time, so we didn't tell you," Xia Xia sternly said. "The result of the draw is that you'll face Xiang Jincheng, I'll face Xiang Wucheng, and the patriarch will face Yu Hua."
Xia Fei was silent, his expression very grave. Xia Buyun and Xia Xia looked at each other, staring at Xia Fei.
"What did you think of?" Xia Xia curiously asked.
Xia Fei clenched his teeth and said, "A scheme."
The two Law Emperors were startled, and they curiously asked, "This is clearly a situation that's advantageous to us. Why would you think of a scheme?"
Xia Fei gloomily said, "You didn't change the rules earlier or later, but you just had to wait until the night before the decisive battle to change the rules. Moreover, the order of the draw is too advantageous to us. Everyone knows that the two of you are far stronger than Yu Hua or Xiang Wucheng.
"If this matter had developed normally, the patriarch would have killed Yu Hua, Senior Xia Xia would have killed Xiang Wucheng, and I wouldn't even have had the chance to appear. The battle would have ended, and Xiang Yue would have been forced to leave White Horse Constellation."
"But," Xia Fei emphasized, "there's definitely something fishy going on! Changing the rules on the night before the decisive battle is already strange, and now we've drawn such a good lot. This isn't right, very wrong! Although I can't figure out what the Yue Clan's scheme is, they definitely have some unknown tricks up their sleeves. "
Xia Buyun and Xia Xia nodded at the same time, looking at Xia Fei with satisfaction.
"Patriarch, I already said that our Heaven's Wings' newcomer, Xia Fei, isn't simple. To be able to smell a scheme in such a short time, his mind is meticulous, and his logic is outstanding," Xia Xia said with a smile.
Xia Buyun also smiled knowingly. "To be able to make Honest Xia into such a miserable state, they naturally have some tricks up their sleeves. Xia Fei, you don't need to worry too much. I told this matter to our patriarch as soon as I could, and do you know what he said?"
Xia Fei shook his head and listened intently.
"He said, 'What conspiracy? The fist of the Heaven's Wings Clan is reason. If they're unreasonable, we're unreasonable, and if they're reasonable, we're still unreasonable! Once we discover a scheme, we'll beat them to death! "Xia Buyun chuckled as he repeated the patriarch's exact words.
Xia Fei suddenly realized that this patriarch, whom he had never met before, was rather adorable. With one unreasonable move, he exposed the mystery. No matter what the Yue Clan was plotting, as long as the Heaven's Wings Clan continued to be so unreasonable and unreasonable, no one would be able to do anything about it!
As the saying went, the soft feared the hard, the hard feared the unreasonable, the unreasonable feared the stupid, and the stupid feared those who did not care about their lives. The Heaven's Wings Clan was precisely that kind of unreasonable and reckless clan!
…
There was still some time before the battle began. The spectating representatives boarded the ship, and Xia Buyun and Xia Xia closed their eyes to rest. Only Xia Fei's doubts had not diminished in the slightest.
A strong sense of unease made Xia Fei unable to calm down. The Yue Clan's actions were too strange and unfathomable.
Xia Fei versus Jincheng and Xia Buyun versus Yuhua were no problems. After all, the difference in strength was too great, and the outcome was already decided.
The only problem was the contest between the bespectacled Law Emperor Xia Xia and Xiangwu Cheng. Logically speaking, the two of them were slightly higher in rank than Xiangwu Cheng, but Xia Xia had the super speed inherited from the Heaven's Wings Clan, so in actual combat, he was slightly inferior to Xiangwu Cheng.
Looking at the quiet Xia Xia, who was resting with his eyes closed, Xia Fei mentally muttered to himself, 'Could it be that Xiangwu Cheng has advanced by leaps and bounds in this one month and has absolute confidence in defeating Xia Xia?'
Just as Xia Buyun was thinking, someone knocked on the door to the lounge. When he opened it, he saw that it was Great Law Emperor Xia Wu. His expression was rather nervous as he whispered into Xia Buyun's ear, "Patriarch, the people from the Xiang Yue clan have arrived. The others are all very normal, but Xiang Wucheng is a little strange."
Everyone was startled and asked at the same time, "What's strange?"
