Fei Qi was born as a noble of the Uranian Ring civilization in the past after all. He had been considering how to deal with the Federation for decades. Therefore, his mind was rather clear. He explained most of the chaotic situation and the weaknesses of the Federation very quickly.
"It sounds like the situation in the Dragon Snake Space Zone is rather complicated, isn't it?"
"It is indeed complicated," Fei Qi said.
"Also, just because the authorities of the Xing Yao Federation did not attack the Dragon Snake Space Zone on a large scale doesn't mean that they are not attacking the Dragon Snake Space Zone in secret! The carrier that we destroyed just now was full of 'headhunters' from the Xing Yao Federation. They were the lackeys under the control of the Venomous Witch Jin Xinyue! "
"Headhunters?" Li Yao asked. "Who are they?"
"The thing is," Fei Qi explained. "After the authorities of the Xing Yao Federation signed a truce agreement with us and banished us to this place, they couldn't find a suitable reason to deal with us for the time being. But it doesn't mean that their civilians are not taking any action.
"The people who fled to the Dragon Snake Space Zone from the Uranian Ring Sector, the Forest Ocean Sector, the Nether World Sector, and the Water Crystal Sector often have deep grudges against those who stayed in their hometown and actively joined the Xing Yao Federation. For example, there is a deep conflict between the Heavenly Light and the Earthly Brute. A lot of people used to hate each other's guts.
"Officially, the Xing Yao Federation did not declare war on us again. But the new members of the Federation often tried to hire the experts of the Federation to sneak into the Dragon Snake Space Zone and kill the people who used to hate them.
"The experts of the Federation who snuck into the Dragon Snake Space Zone for assassination missions were known as' headhunters'. On the Federation's side, they were also known as' avengers'.
"The headhunters that we took down just now were hired by the Earthly Brute to sneak into the Dragon Snake Space Zone to kill one of our compatriots of the Heavenly Light who was nicknamed 'doctor'."
Li Yao asked curiously, "Why do you want to kill the doctor?"
"Thirty to fifty years ago, before the Xing Yao Federation conquered the Uranian Ring Sector, the 'doctor' was responsible for the treatment of the patients who suffered from the 'severe strike syndrome'," Fei Qi replied. "Other than the regular use of the high-intensity Water of Happiness, he also devoted himself to research and experiments and invented a very amazing electric current stimulation therapy, which was highly effective on the treatment of the strike syndrome. Many patients got rid of the problems of their diseases and resumed their jobs under his careful treatment, turning from lunatics back into useful people for our civilization."
"However, Severe Strike Syndrome is, after all, a very dangerous disease. It is inevitable that there will be some side effects during the treatment. Besides, the patients themselves are not very willing to cooperate."
"Therefore, among the patients treated by the Doctor, it seems that some of them died. Some of them survived, but their brains were affected to a certain extent."
"In the Uranian Ring Sector of the past, it was nothing unusual. All the doctors could do was bring the dying back to life at best. How could they bring the dead back to life? It is impossible to cure every disease one hundred percent, right?"
"As it turned out, after the war, the 'doctor' became unpardonable!"
"Thankfully, the 'doctor' changed his name and his face during the chaos after the war and escaped to the Dragon Snake Space Zone.
"The guys who suffered side effects after the treatment of the 'doctor', as well as the families of the patients who died, did not give up. Now that they had become citizens of the Federation and had the support of the Xing Yao Federation, they were even more aggressive and determined to kill the 'doctor'!"
"They were convinced that the 'doctor' was not killed in the war. Therefore, they entrusted the sects of the Federation that were specialized in investigation and tracking to locate the 'doctor'. Finally, they found out the 'doctor's' latest identity five years ago.
"Therefore, they hired a batch of 'headhunters' to sneak into the Dragon Snake Space Zone and carry out the 'punishment' on the 'doctor'!"
The 'doctor' knew that he had become the target of the headhunters a long time ago. In the past five years, he had avoided three dangerous assassinations. This is the fourth one.
"We were all hired by the 'doctor' to help him deal with the headhunters. In order to save his life, he almost went bankrupt and spent all his life savings to hire so many helpers.
"We were quite lucky this time. The 'doctor' bought accurate intelligence at a high price in advance and found out the route that the headhunters took when they snuck into the Dragon Snake Space Zone and the ships that they took. We ambushed them in advance and caught them unprepared. That is exactly what you saw just now."
Fei Qi's words made all the Yuanying and Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivators whisper to each other. "Headhunters? Avengers? Interesting. This is really interesting! "
Pondering for a moment, Long Yangjun raised a new question. "Wait. What you said does not make sense. Investigating the brand-new identity and appearance of a person who has been missing for decades in the vast sea of stars and hiring experts to sneak into a foreign land for an assassination mission must cost a lot of money, right? According to what you just said, those who hate you should've been at the bottom of society in the first place. Even if they joined the Federation, it was impossible for them to become rich overnight. How could they have been capable of hiring the investigators and headhunters? "
"You may not know this, but this is exactly the sordidness and shamelessness of the Xing Yao Federation," Fei Qi said gloomily.
Fei Qi said gloomily, "Those lowly miners and smelly peasants might not even know how to read. How could they possibly afford to hire the best assassins for such a dangerous mission?"
"However, the few most powerful forces in the Federation, including the Glorious Sunlight Group, Skyfire, the Patriots Front, and so on, have established a fund named 'Revenge Fund' to provide financial support for those guys!
"If those miners and bumpkins want to hire investigators and headhunters, they often only need to pay one dollar or even ten cents symbolically. The rest of the expenses will be covered by the 'Revenge Fund'!
"It is especially so for Skyfire, which is led by the witch Jin Xinyue. They are responsible for the daily operations of the 'Revenge Fund'. Also, Jin Xinyue has raised a batch of professional 'headhunters', who are the most brutal and elite assassins. Their job is to settle the grudges of the miners, bumpkins, and other scoundrels in the past!"
"Oh?"
Strange brilliance flashed in Long Yangjun's eyes. "Why are the experts of the Xing Yao Federation doing that?"
Fei Qi gnashed his teeth in hatred. "The ostensibly righteous reason is that the Federation will help every citizen uphold justice, regardless of their wealth and strength. But in fact, everybody knows that it is just a way to buy people's support. By the way, they can also create terror and chaos in the Dragon Snake Space Zone so that we will surrender sooner!"
Long Yangjun, Li Yao, and the rest of the Yuanying and Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivators looked at each other.
"The Federation will help every citizen uphold justice?"
Everybody saw the astonishment and deep thought in each other's eyes.
Ba Xiaoyu the Beggar, in particular, was particularly interested in upholding justice. His eyes were glittering even more brightly.
Due to the limited time, Long Yangjun did not want to dwell on the issue any longer. She changed the subject and asked, "Tell me more about the 'CFIA'. Who is your leader? Where did he learn the true path of immortality?"
Fei Qi replied dutifully, "The president of the CFIA is named 'Lu Qingchen'. He is a native of the Federation … Please don't find it strange. Although President Lu is a member of the Federation, he hates the Federation's guts. His grandfather and his father were both killed by the government of the Federation miserably. President Lu has been an enemy of the Federation since a long time ago and has caused a lot of damage in the territory of the Federation. He is the most wanted criminal with the highest bounty on his head.
"Also, President Lu's master is an out-and-out Immortal Cultivator of the Imperium and the spiritual leader of the CFIA. His name is' Su Changfa '!"
"Su Changfa!"
Heiye Lan lost her cool and exclaimed, "Isn't he —"
Long Yangjun turned around and glared at her, hinting for her to shut up. Then, she turned around and said peacefully, "So, it's him. I didn't know that he had come to the Federation. How is he now?"
"Senior Su passed away more than fifty years ago," Fei Qi said.
"However, his legacy and the glorious ideology of the true path of immortality were all passed on to President Lu Qingchen. President Lu has studied the true path of immortality for almost a hundred years. He is a stubborn, determined, and loyal Immortal Cultivator who has been fighting in the most arduous environment. For a long time, he was even fighting on his own, waiting for the arrival of the fellow Cultivators from the Imperium!
"After the four Sectors were conquered by the Federation one after another, all the outcasts were confused and depressed. Their morale was low. When they were at their wits' end and could not see any light at all, it was President Lu who arrived from the sky and brought us the true path of immortality. Then, we found the direction to move forward again and were united. Eventually, the 'CFIA' was established!"
"Lu Qingchen?"
Li Yao frowned, feeling that something was not right. He asked, "Since the purpose of the CFIA is to wait for the arrival of the Imperium's army, now that we are here, where is President Lu Qingchen? Lead us to him!"
"I'm afraid that's impossible."
Fei Qi smiled bitterly. "President Lu is known to be the most dreadful enemy of the Xing Yao Federation. Too many people in the Federation hate his guts and want to mince him into pieces! His whereabouts are unpredictable, mysterious, and prudent. That's why he was able to avoid the hunting of the Federation for decades and remain safe and sound!
"Also, well, I'm actually just a peripheral member of the CFIA. I haven't even met President Lu in person. How can I know where he is right now and how can I reach out to him?"
Long Yangjun nodded. "That's true. Then, you must have a superior or a liaison in the CFIA, right?"
"Of course!"
