"You need to bring so many high-ranking warriors? Just what kind of place is that Quiet Spring you want me to go to?!" Xia Fei asked in shock.
Oro gave a strange smile. "In any case, it's not a good place."
"Then what about Han You, who lives in Quiet Spring?" Xia Fei asked.
"Not a good person, either." Oro shrugged.
Xia Fei was speechless. Oro had only said that he was going to Quiet Spring to find someone called Han You, but he had never mentioned where Quiet Spring was.
Xia Fei finally understood why Heathfield had hesitated for a moment when he heard the name Quiet Spring. From how he had mobilized a hundred of the Lionheart royalty's apex warriors, Xia Fei could guess that Quiet Spring was a dangerous place!
After doing what he needed to do, Heathfield let out a long sigh and went to Xia Fei's side. He got down on one knee and said with great sincerity, "Everything has been arranged. Once the warriors of the Black Lion Squad arrive, we can set off immediately."
Xia Fei knew very well that Heathfield was not kneeling in such an exaggerated manner because of himself but because of the Lionheart Emperor's ring, the Three Lions Jade Emperor Crown!
Following Oro's instructions, he extended his hand and let Heathfield kiss the ring.
This ceremony was very much like an ancient knightly etiquette. There was no need to mention the excitement on Heathfield's face. It was as if he had just received a great gift from the heavens. His muscles could not help but tremble, and he almost fainted from happiness.
Xia Fei quietly put away the ring. Having this thing with Heathfield was too exaggerated, and Xia Fei, who had always been simple, was not used to it. After all, Xia Fei was holding the ring on behalf of Oro, and putting it away was a conversation between friends.
Hurriedly helping Heathfield up, Xia Fei awkwardly said, "It's all thanks to you. I'll report the situation to my superiors. You must have spent quite a lot of points to get the Black Lion Squad as reinforcements, right?"
Xia Fei's words revealed that he had a close relationship with Oro, which made Heathfield even more respectful toward Xia Fei. He hurriedly said, "Points are accumulated through contributions to the royalty, and they can replace …"
At this point, Heathfield shuddered. Though Xia Fei had never told Heathfield to keep this a secret, even a fool could tell that this was no small matter. He had almost blurted out the words "royal grandfather." Though it was not a big deal, Heathfield was afraid of giving Xia Fei an unreliable impression. If Xia Fei were to pass on this impression to Oro, then Heathfield would be in deep trouble.
After a short pause, Heathfield corrected himself. "Being able to work for you is my greatest honor. It's just a pity that I haven't accumulated that many points. Otherwise, mobilizing the entire Black Lion Squad would be something I should do."
Xia Fei smiled. "Based on what I know, the Black Lion Platoon only has three hundred people. If we mobilize all of them, we'll surely attract attention from all sides, and that won't be good."
Heathfield was stunned. The Black Lion Corps was the Lionheart Royalty's secret army, the trump card of trump cards. Xia Fei even knew the total number of people in the team, so there was no doubt that they were Oro's trusted aides!
Seeing Xia Fei's sparkling eyes, Heathfield softly said, "In the past, the Black Lion Corps did indeed have three hundred members, but it's now doubled to six hundred."
"Oh, I see. I'll also report this matter as it is," Xia Fei pretended to say.
In truth, there was no need for Xia Fei to report. That Lionheart Emperor was squatting in Xia Fei's spatial ring, so he could hear everything clearly.
Moreover, the relationship between this Emperor and Xia Fei was not what Heathfield thought it was. The current situation was that the old demon lord was calling Xia Fei his brother and wanted Xia Fei to kill him, but Xia Fei would never agree to it.
If the Lionhearts knew that Oro and Xia Fei had such a relationship, they would probably vomit blood in anger!
Only Xia Fei would be able to keep an Emperor of a large clan in his spatial ring as an advisor, even having to give Oro a few words from time to time.
"The road to the Nether Springs is treacherous, so why don't I leave the two Emperors by my side with you as your personal guards? They're all my closest aides, so there won't be any problems. "Heathfield spared no effort in trying to curry favor with Xia Fei.
Xia Fei waved his hand. "I'm sorry. I'm a suspicious person, and I don't like to rely on others. Aside from Chen Dong, there's no one else I can trust."
Heathfield hurriedly said, "Chen Dong is currently cultivating in the royal family. I'll invite him back."
Chen Dong was Heathfield's subordinate, so there was no need for him to invite him back. A single order was enough to transfer him back.
However, Chen Dong's status had not changed, but Xia Fei's had. Heathfield treated Xia Fei as a trusted aide of his Emperor, so Xia Fei's status as a friend would naturally rise as well.
Heathfield believed that Chen Dong would receive his full support in the Lionheart Clan from now on, and his meteoric rise was just around the corner.
Xia Fei was very satisfied with Heathfield's performance. In his most difficult time, Chen Dong had not hesitated to help him, and Xia Fei would always remember this friendship.
Though Chen Dong was a one-track martial arts fanatic who did not know anything other than martial arts and fighting, Xia Fei valued Chen Dong's loyalty more than anything else. Loyalty would always be the most important. After all, there were too many two-faced people in this world, and he had to be on his guard.
After some thought, Xia Fei said, "No wonder I couldn't get in touch with Chen Dong. It turns out that he's in seclusion. Let's not disturb him. I'll have to trouble you to give this to him."
With that said, Xia Fei took out the Demon Race's elite war armor and gave it to Whisper Autumn Sun. Of Xia Fei's friends, Chen Dong was the only one in the Demon Race, so giving this war armor to him was making the best use of it.
Heathfield took the war armor in surprise. With his eyesight, it was not difficult for him to see the rank of Whisper Autumn Sun. It was definitely a valuable and rare item! After giving a few more details, Heathfield took his leave and personally arranged for Xia Fei to be sent to the Dark Spring.
The moment Heathfield left, the old demon lord sighed. "You're far too crafty."
"What?" Xia Fei had an innocent look on his face.
"Don't think that I can't tell. You intentionally brought up Chen Dong and gave him the war armor in front of my grandson. You're clearly trying to tell Heathfield that Chen Dong is my man and that you have to protect him no matter what."
Xia Fei smiled, not hiding anything. "That's right. That's exactly what I meant. I've never felt that there's anything wrong with taking care of my own people. I'm just borrowing your name. Don't be too stingy."
Quietly, the atmosphere in Heathfield's camp became much more tense.
A hundred Law Emperors had arrived at the same time, all of them dressed in the same black war armor. They were awe-inspiring, and with the Lionheart royalty's exaggerated three-meter-tall physique, this group was particularly eye-catching.
Xia Fei changed into an ordinary Demon Race war armor and wrapped the unicorn in it. After all, this was the Demon Race, and wearing the war armor of the God Race's Fig Corporation was definitely not a good idea. Following behind Heathfield, the group arrived at the backyard. This was Heathfield's private residence, and it had long since been sealed off. Not even a fly could get in.
Heathfield waved his hand, and the garden that had been planted with flowers and plants suddenly split into two, revealing a staircase that led downward. The group quietly entered.
Xia Fei was very confused. Could the Dark Spring be in this basement?
He was much shorter than those tall Lionheart warriors, making him very conspicuous in the crowd. However, these warriors displayed an extremely high level of teamwork. None of them gave Xia Fei a second glance, all of them looking straight ahead.
Xia Fei did a quick count. The one hundred Law Emperors of the Black Lion Combat Corps and Heathfield's three personal attendants made up a total of one hundred and five War Gods at or above the Law Emperor rank! Moreover, the two leaders of the Black Lion Corps following closely behind Heathfield were most likely Law Overlords!
This was truly a terrifying force! It was enough to rival the combined forces of the two great clans of the White Horse Constellation!
After all, the Lionhearts were not just a clan but an intelligent race! Their population surpassed that of the human race. If the human race had thirty thousand Law Emperors, the Lionhearts would probably have fifty thousand! Mobilizing so many experts was no problem at all.
A short distance later, they arrived at the main hall, three hundred meters tall and ten li wide.
Heathfield nodded, indicating for the group to stop, and then he whispered a few words to the two Law Overlords at his side.
The two leaders of the Black Lion Corps hesitated for a moment, and then they waved their hands for everyone to move back and open up a space.
"Open!"
"Open for me!"
* Rumble! *
The two Law Sovereigns tore at one side of the space, forcibly tearing a hole in it! A dark world was revealed!
Dark space!
Xia Fei's heart thumped. He immediately recognized that this was a crack in a spatial passage, a dangerous dark space!
Back at the Yu family, Xia Fei had once been pulled into a dark space and had even been forced to engage in a fierce battle with the Demon Chrysalis. In the end, he had relied on a rabid spirit, a bit of intelligence, and a bit of luck to escape from the dangerous dark space.
* Whoosh ~ *
The moment the dark space opened, it was like a black hole pulling in the air. Fortunately, the secret chamber was protected by the Law of Chaos, making it very sturdy. Even the weakest of the warriors present was a Law Emperor, so no one was pulled into the dark space.
Xia Fei finally understood why Heathfield had chosen this place. It turned out that he was going to a dark space! A chaotic and disorderly place!
"What's going on here?! Could Nether Spring be in the dark space?! "Xia Fei exclaimed in shock.
A cold light flashed through the old demon lord's eyes as he sternly said, "Correct. You've guessed correctly."
At this moment, Heathfield stealthily took out a metal horn that looked very much like a conch and softly blew it twice at the entrance to the dark space.
Xia Fei listened carefully and realized that the frequency of the horn was unrecognizable to the human ear. It seemed to be summoning something.
Everyone continued to wait. Other than heavy breathing, no one made a sound. It was as quiet as the night sky.
Ten-some minutes later, Heathfield waved his hand and then shot into the dark space!
The Lionheart War Gods followed Heathfield's footsteps and entered.
Xia Fei clenched his teeth and arrived at the entrance to the dark space. With a tap of his foot, his body whooshed through like a swallow.
The dark space was extremely dark, and Xia Fei felt like he was walking on empty air as if he were floating in space. * Pa pa pa ~ *
The war armor's night vision system and life support system activated one after another.
Several seconds later, when Xia Fei could clearly see the situation in the space, he was stunned!
