Wicked Wind Bandits
Xia Fei raised his head and asked with a smile, "Are you guys from the Unholy Wind Bandits?"
Xia Fei was decisive when it came to killing, and there was no hesitation in his actions. After witnessing his senior brother being killed on the spot by Xia Fei without any hesitation, this plump man in black had long lost the courage to resist. After all, killing someone was one thing, but doing it cleanly and without even batting an eyelid was another. Xia Fei's ruthless methods had left this plump man in awe.
"Yes." Xia Fei nodded, allowing Peacock Blue to relax a little so that he could answer the question.
"What's the use of the [Jade Forest Green Robe] and the [Picture of Wan]? Who is the owner of this tomb? "Xia Fei lit a cigarette and continued asking.
"The owner of the tomb is called Wan Shanxing. A hundred years ago, he was a Super Blacksmith with Level Eight cultivation and successfully entered the God Clan. He is quite famous even in the upper echelons and is a rare blacksmith genius in the circle."
"It's a pity that Wanshango was arrogant and ruthless, making many enemies. He was assassinated at the young age of thirty-four. Otherwise, he would definitely have become a grandmaster in the forging world," the fatty explained while trembling.
Perhaps he was scared out of his wits by Xia Fei, for his voice was very soft and unsteady, making it difficult for Xia Fei to hear him. He could barely understand what he was trying to say.
Xia Fei was slightly taken aback. Becoming an 8th-grade artificer at the age of thirty-four? Ten Thousand Mountains was truly a genius. As for his sinister methods, Xia Fei believed it very well. If not for the fact that he was an extreme freak, he would not have been able to create such a large and long Death Corridor. Fortunately, Xia Fei had the Law of Speed, which allowed him to avoid all the traps and come out unscathed.
Xia Fei waved the Wanxiang Map and Jade Forest Green Robe in his hand, indicating for him to continue.
The fatty swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "It is said that the reason why the Myriad Mountains Form is so powerful is because of the Myriad Images Diagram that he inherited from his ancestor. The Myriad Images Diagram is a mysterious diagram, and understanding it will allow one to reach the peak of blacksmithing."
"The ancestor of the Wan Clan was the God of Forging, a Heavenly Forging Master at the peak. This Wanxiang Diagram was left behind by him. Unfortunately, the Wanxiang Diagram is profound and complicated. Ordinary people can't understand it at all. Even the Wan Clan themselves have only comprehended the true essence of the Wanxiang Diagram after all these years."
Xia Fei nodded. It turned out that the Wanxiang Diagram was an artificer's skill inheritance, which was a good thing. Since Huo Yutong did not know of its existence, Xia Fei naturally wanted to take it for himself.
"Then what about Yu Lin Qing Yi?"
"That's a piece of defensive equipment. It's similar to battle armor, and it doesn't require one's level to wear it. Blacksmiths usually don't have much martial prowess, so this type of battle armor, which is very strong and doesn't require the support of cultivation, is very popular. However, it's useless for Warriors."
Xia Fei understood now. It turned out that Huo Yutong wanted a set of war armor, an Elite war armor that did not require a level to equip.
After a while, Huo Yutong was going to the God Race. Presumably, he also knew that it was dangerous there, so he was in a hurry to get his hands on this set of battle armor that belonged to Form Ten Thousand Mountains in order to protect himself. However, even in his dreams, he would never have thought that the most valuable thing that belonged to Form Ten Thousand Mountains wasn't the battle armor, but the Ten Thousand Mountains Painting! It was the lifetime inheritance of a Heavenly Artificer!
The Yu Lin Qing Yi was an artificer's defensive equipment, but it was not very useful to Xia Fei. After all, Xia Fei was a Warrior, and the one-horned demon he was wearing probably had a higher defense than the Yu Lin Qing Yi.
"I'm going to ask you a very important question." Xia Fei's expression darkened. "Who did the Unholy Wind Bandits have a grudge with recently?"
Those who had stolen the Law of Time might have had a grudge with the Unholy Wind Bandits, which was why they had left behind the grave robbers' symbol to shift the blame to someone else. Finding out who the Unholy Wind Bandits were would help Xia Fei in his search for the Law of Time!
"Enemies? The Unholy Wind Bandits do shady business, so there's no way they can count their enemies. " The fatso was a little anxious. They had long since offended the Law Realm by digging up other people's ancestral graves. If they were to talk about enemies, the entire Law Realm was his enemy.
Xia Fei calmly replied, "Some special enemies are very strong and have very vicious methods. It's possible that they're also involved in shady business.
"There are simply too many enemies. Besides, us fellow disciples are just putting our lives on the line. The real decision-makers are our master and the grandmaster!"
The black-clothed fatso anxiously scratched his ears and cheeks, his eyes darting around.
* Whoosh ~ *
Xia Fei did not wait for him to finish speaking before vanishing, leaving Furball to stare at him.
Soon after, the sound of intense fighting came from a distant passage, accompanied by a wail!
* Bang ~ *
Xia Fei threw a black figure to the ground, one foot stepping on its chest.
It was an old man with sharp eyes and ghastly pale skin, a result of not seeing the sun for many years.
His right arm had been completely cut off by Xia Fei, which made his already pale face even paler, and large beads of sweat were dripping down his face.
"Law Emperor cultivation, not bad." Xia Fei muttered to himself as he looked at the black-clothed man with the severed arm. Xia Fei was now a level 5 Law Emperor, just a step away from becoming a Great Law Emperor. Coupled with the Law of Primal Chaos and the power of his many treasures, Xia Fei had no opponents at the same level as him. Taking down this Law Emperor expert hiding in the shadows was as easy as lifting a finger.
"This must be your master, right?" Xia Fei asked.
The fatso was flabbergasted, crying out, "Master, why are you here?! You have to save me! "
* Whoosh ~ *
Before he could finish, Xia Fei pierced his heart with the Blood Crystal, and in the blink of an eye, the fatso was reduced to a pile of bones, vanishing without a trace.
"Rather than hoping for a master to save you, you might as well hope for God. I killed your master!" Xia Fei stamped out his cigarette as he muttered to himself. The Blood Crystal was pressed against the one-armed old man's throat, and Peacock Blue had at some point climbed onto the old man's shoulder, eyeing him.
"Name?"
"Fang Lu." The one-armed old man knew that Xia Fei was powerful and hurriedly answered through gritted teeth.
"You're not good enough as a master. You sent your disciple out on a mission, but you were worried and followed him in secret. It's a pity that this fatso was counting on you to save him before he died." Xia Fei's expression darkened. "If not for me, you'd probably have taken your disciple's life, wouldn't you?"
Old Man Fang Lu's expression changed again and again. Things were indeed as Xia Fei said. Wanshan was a sinister and ruthless man, and Fang Lu did not dare to take the risk himself, so he sent his disciple to do it while he followed behind. Once he obtained the Thousand Portrait and the Jade Forest Green Robe, he would kill them and take their treasures, destroying all evidence to prevent his disciples from leaking the information.
The Law Realm had always been a sinister place, with danger lurking in every corner. It was actually very normal for Fang Lu to act this way. After coming to the Law Realm, Xia Fei could not help but lament that there were fewer and fewer good people these days.
Fang Lu gritted his teeth and did not say a word. Xia Fei smiled and asked, "It's the same question from before. This time, it's your turn to answer it."
Fang Lu furrowed his brows in thought. "Perhaps you're talking about the Patron Liu family. Their family mines and deals in all sorts of precious gems, and because they rely on the mountain to make a living, they're called the Patron Liu. They have a blood feud with us Unholy Wind Bandits."
Xia Fei furrowed his eyebrows. "I'm not looking for a guy who sells rocks."
Fang Lu paused for a moment before continuing. "We need a reason for doing this shady business. The Liu family is a quarry merchant in name, but they're actually disposing of stolen goods. If they have the chance, they'll kill someone and steal their goods."
Xia Fei nodded. "You Unholy Wind Bandits are grave robbers, and the Patron Liu family is in charge of disposing of stolen goods. You should be good partners, so why is there a blood feud?"
"Hmph! Our share with the Liu family was originally forty to sixty, with them getting forty and us sixty. This was only because the Liu family relied on their power a few years ago to forcefully raise their cut to sixty percent! After all that hard work, we only got forty percent. How could we possibly be angry about that? "
"That's why we teamed up with several major bandit groups in the business and set up our own network to dispose of stolen goods, cutting off all ties with the Liu family and directly cutting off their most important source of income. That's why we ended up in conflict, with both sides suffering casualties. Don't you think that counts as a blood feud?"
Xia Fei softly said, "Cutting off someone's source of income is akin to killing their parents. This grudge is indeed not light."
Xia Fei's eyes shifted as he asked, "Since you're at odds with the Liu family, you should be on guard against each other. I'm sure they have spies in their family. Has the Liu family done anything large-scale recently?"
Massacring tens of thousands of believers of the Ancient God Cult could not have been done by a single person. There was no way the Liu family would not have made such a big move without any news. Finding out the situation would help Xia Fei make a judgment.
"No. The Liu family has been acting very strangely recently. It's like they've suddenly quieted down. Our spies have reported that there are a few unfamiliar faces in their family. They come and go in a hurry, not even talking to anyone."
* Whoosh ~ *
After finding out the situation, Xia Fei immediately killed Fang Lu. The number four of the Unholy Wind Bandits, Law Emperor Fang Lu, was dead!
"Do you believe this man's words?" the old demon lord asked.
Xia Fei shook his head. "At most, I'll believe half of what everyone says. As for Fang Lu, I only believe ten percent."
…
Huo Yutong finally obtained the Jade Forest Azure Robe of her dreams. She repeatedly tried it on, admiring it.
Xia Fei, however, was not interested in it. After all, the Jade Forest Azure Robe was meant for those without martial strength, and Xia Fei preferred his own armor. Besides, Xia Fei had obtained the truly important Wanxiang Diagram, and Huo Yutong had no idea about it at all.
She carefully put away the Jade Forest Azure Robe and happily thanked Xia Fei again and again.
Xia Fei softly said, "Master Huo, I've gathered all the items I need. When will the Celestial Zerohammer be completed?"
"What's the rush? You'll see it in three months," Huo Yutong said without even raising her head.
Xia Fei smiled and extended a finger. "One month at most."
Huo Yutong was surprised at first, but she soon laughed. "Don't think that you can order me around just because you helped me get this armor. When I say three months, it means three months!"
Xia Fei calmly picked up his teacup and drained it in one gulp. He sternly said, "Though the Wan family no longer has the Wanshan Form, they're still a major family in the world of blacksmithing. If they find out that the Wanshan Form's Jade Forest Azure Robe is on you, what do you think they'll do?"
These words were a little sinister, and Huo Yutong was stunned. "Are you threatening me?!"
Xia Fei chuckled. "I'm sorry. The war armor has a function called video recording. I accidentally recorded the look of ecstasy on your face when you received the armor, and I accidentally stored it in a place that only I know of."
Xia Fei changed the topic, still smiling as he said, "So, Master Huo, I hope that you can accidentally complete the Celestial Zerohammer within a month."
Huo Yutong's mouth dropped open in shock. She had been too excited just now, and she did not notice that Xia Fei had played her! Now, Xia Fei had a firm grasp on his weakness.
That devilish smile on his face caused Huo Yutong to break out in a cold sweat.
Huo Yutong was not the first to fall for Xia Fei's scheme, and she would not be the last. Those who tried to take advantage of Xia Fei usually did not end up well.
Xia Fei ignored Huo Yutong's shock and stood up to leave.
