Chapter 1025: Xiang Beiyang

Translator: Exodus Tales  Editor: Exodus Tales

Spirit was the energy of all things in the universe. Soul was the energy of sapient lifeforms. The two of them together created the spiritual soul. The spirit took precedence, while the soul took the back seat, indicating their difference in status.

Be they Soul Hunters or Soul Eaters, all belonged to the soul lineage. As for Xia Fei, he belonged to the more powerful spirit lineage. He was a Spiritualist who could gather the power of the universe and forge various soul weapons.

Radix was utterly speechless. Xia Fei’s October Flying Snow had become a low-level soul weapon, proving his identity, but he could not understand how Xia Fei, being a Spiritualist, was able to fight with the power of the soul lineage. Was the young man capable of using all energy?

Also, on a deeper level, the Aurora Clan had never produced a Spiritualist before, but it had now appeared on a weirdo like Xia Fei. Was this a blessing or a curse for the Aurora Clan?

Radix’s mind was buzzing with thoughts. Xia Fei was growing more and more incomprehensible. In the Law Realm, Xia Fei had set out to be a Protean Master, and now that he was in the Alpha Universe, he had not stopped at all. On the contrary, he had grown even more formidable, becoming a Spiritualist with strange abilities!

Of course, Xia Fei had paid a corresponding price for this. Everyone else had Seeds of Life that they could use to be reborn, but Xia Fei did not have. He was probably the only Founder in the universe who did not have eternal life.

“Someone’s coming!” Radix was going to ask the other a few more questions when Xia Fei suddenly said this.

As he spoke, two warriors came down on his left and right, blocking Xia Fei in the middle.

Radix glanced at their attire and said, “Don’t be afraid. These are Hunters. They won’t hurt you.”

“Hunters? Are they a branch of Soul Hunters?” asked Xia Fei in curiosity. From their energy pulses, he could tell that they were not that strong. Let alone Hosu, even Xia Fei at his peak would be much stronger than them.

“I suppose you can consider them Soul Hunters? You think Soul Hunters can be found wherever you go?” said Radix in scorn. “A Hunter is a simple profession. Normally, they serve as assistants to Soul Hunters, or else they join together to surround an exotic beast to make a living. These two are at about the level of a Law Sage or Great Law Sage.”

It turned out that Hunters could be considered Soul Hunter candidates. They were warriors, but they had yet to complete the cultivation of their body or unlock their Soul Mark. These were lower-class people of the Alpha Universe. Only when they opened their Soul Mark would they be considered Soul Hunters.

If these two were Soul Hunters, then Xia Fei might be afraid, but at the warriors Law Sage tier were nothing to him. While he was not fully recovered and was in no shape to fight, he had Furball, Peacock Blue, and Radix controlling Nirvana. Killing these two would be as easy as raising his hand.

The two warriors inspected Xia Fei, but they did not strike. Three more people appeared in the crevice, two higher-level warriors and a big-bellied fellow. In this crevice filled with cold air, the fatty panted for breath. He apparently was not used to exercising.

“Boss Xiang, this is the place,” a warrior who had cultivation comparable to a level 1 Law God whispered into the fatty’s ear.

The fatty, Xiang Beiyang, inspected Xia Fei and smiled. “Little Brother, you’ve been here for a few days. Have you seen a white dragonfly around?”

Xia Fei smiled. “Half a month ago, the Inverse suddenly advanced, and this little brother was forced to hide in this crevice. As for this white dragonfly of yours, I’ve never seen such a thing.”

Xiang Beiyang lightly nodded, but a short-bearded man next to him impatiently said, “Kid! You’ best get your wits about you!” I’ll have your hide if you’re lying

Xia Fei slightly frowned. Truly, a tiger that came down to the open plains would be bullied by a dog. To think a puny level 1 Law God would actually be bossing him around?

However, it was hard to blame them. Xia Fei’s seventh brain region was very strange. No one could see through it, and Xia Fei did not release any energy pulses when not attacking. Anyone would take him for an ordinary person, and in this world where the strong reigned supreme, ‘ordinary person’ was a term synonymous with death. This short-bearded Law God naturally would not respect Xia Fei very much.

“Hold on! Don’t be impolite!” Xiang Beiyang pulled on his guard and said.

As a businessman, Xiang Beiyang understood that harmony led to profit, and his mind was much sharper than these foolish warriors.

Xiang Beiyang had risked entering the Inverse territory to find an exotic beast called the Diamond Dragonfly. This exotic beast lived in this massive asteroid belt, and it was said that it had the miraculous ability to repair the soul.

In the Alpha Universe, a battle was not just a contest of bodies. High-level warriors had Soul Marks, and they fought soul battles!

An injured body could be healed with medicine, but the soul’s wounds could only be healed through rare exotic beasts like the Diamond Dragonfly. Alas, this rare exotic beast lived in the dangerous Inverse territory, and even searching for it was dangerous. Moreover, the Diamond Dragonfly was a cunning exotic beast that was extremely difficult to capture.

Xiang Beiyang had taken on a big job this time and was seeking ten Diamond Dragonflies for a big client. Unfortunately, even after running himself ragged, he had only managed to find seven so far, and he was still lacking three to complete the job.

He did not fear offending people; what he feared was offending someone who he could not afford to offend. The day of the contract was coming up, but Xiang Beiyang still did not have the agreed-upon number. Thus, he had hardened his heart, hired some men, and gone searching in the dangerous asteroid belt.

Boss Xiang had been rather lucky. Several days later, he really had managed to catch three Diamond Dragonflies. He was just about to get back and hand over the goods to his client when he passed by this giant asteroid and saw Xia Fei using his Soul Mark to turn the October Flying Snow into a soul weapon!

One of Boss Xiang’s hunters suspected this to be another Diamond Dragonfly, so he hastily reported it to him. Boss Xiang had run some calculations. There were still six days until he needed to hand over the goods, and two days was enough to get back. He decided to test his luck and see if he could catch another Diamond Dragonfly.

In this day and age, it was not easy to get into Inverse territory, and he did not want to see a chance like this escape him. Those hunters he had hired were also happy to help. After all, there was a commission for each one captured, so anyone would be happy to make more money.

This had led to the scene just now. The group came down the crevice, but instead of finding a Diamond Dragonfly, they startled Lone Wolf Xia Fei.

“Little Brother, you said that the Inverse had passed through this asteroid belt half a month ago?!” asked Boss Xiang urgently.

The four Hunters were all startled. They had all missed out on the most important piece of information in Xia Fei’s words!

“Correct. It’s a huge army that obliterated everything in its path,” said Xia Fei indifferently.

“Is that for real?!” asked the short-bearded Hunter in panic, his heart in turmoil. He realized how lucky he had been, coming right after the Inverse army retreated.

“As true as can be,” said Xia Fei, keeping on his poker face.

The Hunters all sighed, and one of them slapped his thigh. “No wonder we were so lucky and caught three Diamond Dragonflies. They were all pushed into this area by the Inverse!”

“Now that you mention it, I recall that Diamond Dragonflies are known to be eccentric creatures that prefer to live far from one other rather than in groups. For us to catch three in the area simply doesn’t make sense! So it had all been because of the Inverse, huh!” one of the older Hunters said in realization.

As the Hunters conversed, they began to notice more and more details that did not make sense. Their hunting expedition this time had gone too smoothly, so both the Hunters and Boss Xiang had lost themselves in their good fortune; otherwise, they would have long realized that something was wrong.

As they thought about it, they realized how lucky they had been. If they had accidentally run into the Inverse, there wouldn’t have even been enough of their small team to squeeze between one’s teeth.

The Hunters all felt like they could not stand it anymore. Since they had finished their mission, they all wanted to get out of Inverse territory as quickly as possible. After all, the money gained by gambling one’s life could only be spent if one still had a life. While many things were important in this world, nothing was more important than surviving!

Xia Fei made a casual comment that instantly pushed everyone’s tension to the maximum.

“While the army may have retreated, there are still many hidden sentries in the area. If you’re going back, you need to be careful.”

All fell silent, everyone staring at Xia Fei. The two more timid Hunters even started sweating.

“The Inverse are the most sinister, so this will be very in line with their style,” the veteran Hunter stroked his chin and said. Xia Fei was happy to see that someone was helping him with his little ploy. Smiling, Xia Fei nods at the veteran Hunter.

“Boss Xiang, we should head back now.”

“That’s right. Didn’t you say that the big client’s job can’t be delayed? Let’s get to the hand-off point early. We absolutely can’t offend that bigshot.”

The tone had instantly changed, and no one was in the mood to talk about the Diamond Dragonfly now. All of them wanted to get out of this place at once so as not to fall into the hands of the Inverse.

Xia Fei’s plan was very simple: fabricate a powerful foe.

In this current situation, this group had taken him for an enemy and suspected that this place contained a Diamond Dragonfly. If they were not pushed off this line of thought, these people would not give the matter rest.

Thus, Xia Fei had intentionally started fearmongering, making it so that everyone would stop worrying about Xia Fei and the Diamond Dragonfly.

To tell the truth, Xia Fei did not mind killing these people. Even if he did not do it, Peacock Blue, Furball, and Nirvana would easily slay them. However, Xia Fei’s keen senses informed him that there was a warship above him. If Xia Fei wanted to escape this place, he would need their help. It was not difficult to kill these people and take over their ship, but this move was even easier.

“Mm, everyone’s right. Let’s get moving!” Boss Xiang’s back was already drenched in sweat. He had tossed the idea of ​​getting another Diamond Dragonfly far out of his mind and immediately agreed to this suggestion.

“Everyone, be careful,” Xia Fei. He did not ask to go with them; instead, he sat back down and began stroking Furball with one hand.

“You’re crazy! This is a chance! Hurry up and leave with these people! Do you plan to stay in the Inverse territory for the rest of your life?!” cried Radix urgently, perplexed by Xia Fei’s move.

“There’s no rush. These people are afraid and will beg me to go with them,” said Xia Fei nonchalantly.

“Be careful?!” It was not because he was dumb that Boss Xiang had become a local tycoon; he instantly sensed what Xia Fei was getting at and immediately smiled as he told Xia Fei, “Little Brother, staying here isn’t safe. Why don’t you come with us?”

“Well…” Xia Fei stroked his chin, appearing hesitant.

Suddenly, Boss Xiang’s eyes flashed, for he had seen that fuzzy little ball in Xia Fei’s bosom!
