The Unique Feng Shui Master
The crowd waited in place for Xiao Yefeng, who had successfully bypassed the most tightly monitored technological security zone using the power of the Spirit Hidden Jade Tablet and the strength of his outer garment. At this moment, Xiao Yefeng had already vanished from sight, stepping lightly on the wind as he quietly landed outside a partially concealed door, his figure flickering as he slipped into the building.
What greeted him was a work area under heavy surveillance; the phrase "five steps a post, ten steps a sentry" hardly captured the extent of the security here. If it weren't for the power of the clothing Xiao Yefeng wore, he would never have been able to enter!
Speaking of this, one must mention the outfit Xiao Yefeng donned. He wore a combat suit on the outside, while underneath he was clad in the Dragon Robe from the Nine-Tiered Demon Tower. According to information from Pangu's Dragon Pearl, Xiao Yefeng had fully developed the power of this Dragon Robe. It turned out that this garment was originally Pangu's, crafted from his own Dragon Scales, which he had forged after collecting fallen scales in the Low-Level Plane.
With the activation of Dragon Qi, its defensive capabilities were unparalleled. Moreover, it possessed a significant ability: it could completely erase any aura of its wearer. Unfortunately, if one were to attack, this effect would fail—similar to the Spirit Hidden Jade Tablet. However, compared to the Spirit Hidden Jade Tablet, the Dragon Robe had even more abilities and could counteract modern technological detection on Earth!
As Xiao Yefeng gradually made his way deeper inside, he discovered that there was more to this factory than met the eye. Following a transport vehicle past a fork in the road, he found his escape route blocked by a massive gate. The internal defenses were entirely different from those outside; here, guards wielded long knives and short swords while carrying state-of-the-art weaponry—the Atomic Submachine Gun—making them armed to the teeth. Even their combat suits were anything but ordinary.
These were close-fitting Armors forged from alloy, integrated with memory metal that could adapt perfectly to the wearer's shape. This Armor was specifically designed for Gene Warriors in their Beast Transformation Form. Wearing it meant that anyone without True Spirit strength couldn't even scratch them; those below True Spirit Pinnacle would find it impossible to penetrate such defenses!
Moreover, this type of Armor was rare even in Huaxia. At that moment, Xiao Yefeng noticed that every guard inside had a set of it, leaving him astonished! However, given how many years Perfect World had been developing such capabilities, it wasn't too surprising.
What puzzled Xiao Yefeng was that these guards seemed to be permanently fitted with their Armor; they couldn't remove it at all. Additionally, their heads were completely covered, meaning they couldn't eat. This raised questions—how could warriors at his and Master’s level not be able to fast?
Most critically, Xiao Yefeng's Observer's Eye had nearly reached perfection. Although he couldn't probe into others' destinies at present, he could still discern their levels of Yang energy. It reminded him of Li Ji from years past; he watched as Li Ji's Yang energy dissipated but couldn't change that fact. Yet now, Xiao Yefeng found himself unable to see these guards' Yang energy levels at all. After so many years of cultivation, there were only two scenarios where he couldn't perceive others' Yang energy.
One possibility was that an individual's strength far exceeded his own—much like how he once couldn't sense Cheap Brother's overwhelming power. However, if just one or two individuals here surpassed him significantly in strength, he would believe it; but if dozens of guards all possessed strength far beyond his own? Xiao Yefeng would never accept that!
If not for this reason, Xiao Yefeng could only think of one unbelievable conclusion: they were truly dead—real corpses whose time of death exceeded seven days. After death, there remains residual Yang energy within for seven days because spirits return to their altars on the seventh day to take away their last trace of Yang energy forever. By then, the body would have no Yang energy left at all—completely reduced to mere flesh and bones!
Only such a corpse would lack any trace of vitality, allowing it to evade Xiao Yefeng's Spirit and Observer's Eye. However, even a living corpse, like the Living Corpse from years past, would emit some aura if controlled by someone. Yet these individuals moved freely without any signs of life.
Suppressing his curiosity, Xiao Yefeng transmitted the images captured by his chest recorder to Han Duhuo and the others outside. Soon, the device he wore connected with the research facility in Huaxia, revealing everything happening within the base.
Regardless of how the Huaxia personnel discussed matters, Xiao Yefeng had already followed the truck deep underground. Before long, hundreds of large glass containers appeared on either side of the truck, each filled with Gene Warriors submerged in the Goddess of Life's nutrient solution. Both men and women were present, all naked, yet uniformly connected to several tubes of varying colors inserted into their bodies.
Finally, in this underground space filled with living beings but devoid of any vitality, several active auras appeared before Xiao Yefeng's eyes. The truck soon came to a stop, and Xiao Yefeng quietly hid beneath it as a man approached with a lifeless warrior in tow.
"How is it? The last batch of potions has arrived, right?" the man asked.
Just then, a figure clad in a black robe stepped out from the truck. From Xiao Yefeng's vantage point, he could only see their ankles, but it was clear that the person descending was a woman due to her high-heeled shoes. The woman spoke coldly, "This is the final batch of potions; your success rate is far too low!"
"Po! Lord Po! What are you doing here? Sir! The success rate is already quite high; you know some ingredients in this ancient formula are impossible to find. The substitutes have been approved by Master! You must speak well of us up top!" The man stumbled over his words upon realizing that the newcomer was not one of their usual delivery personnel.
At that moment, Xiao Yefeng froze beneath the truck. Po! Wasn't she the most mysterious among the three remaining members of Perfect World? He never expected her to be a woman! Huaxia had long been unable to uncover Po's identity; who would have thought that Xiao Yefeng would encounter her this time?
"Hmph! You better be careful; these warriors are specifically requested by Lord God of Sorcery. If anything goes wrong, no one will be able to save you!" Po turned and walked toward the testing area in her high heels. Meanwhile, the warrior brought by the man yanked open the truck's rear door and effortlessly lifted a massive iron box weighing over a thousand pounds, following both men toward the testing area.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Yefeng quickly followed behind the warrior carrying the heavy box. As he trailed them, he spotted several glass containers yet to be filled with potion liquid. However, what infuriated him was witnessing someone he once knew being stripped of their clothes by several researchers in white lab coats before being unceremoniously tossed into one of the containers. The glass lid sealed shut instantly as numerous tubes filled with colorful liquids were inserted into this man's body.
The man's sudden convulsions confirmed for Xiao Yefeng that these individuals were indeed alive and died at the moment the liquid was injected! What were they planning to do? The man just now was someone Xiao Yefeng recognized—he was known as Owl within the Human United Federation and was a Gold Medal Hunter.
Once, he had hunted Jiang Xing but had been countered by Xiao Yefeng when Flying Needle pierced through his right cheek. Yet he managed to escape; he was one of the few who had evaded Xiao Yefeng's Flying Needle. Thus, Xiao Yefeng was very familiar with him. Of course, Owl had once been a Mercenary—a fact that just dawned on Xiao Yefeng!
However, such a powerful subordinate had just lost his life in an instant, clearly killed by these researchers! If the Owl met such a fate, then the people inside these containers must have died in the same way!
Soon, the three arrived at the center of the research platform. The heavy iron box was lightly placed on the ground by the soldiers. At that moment, Xiao Yefeng noticed several familiar faces inside the glass containers below!
Yin Yang Master of Wa Country, Kazama Tadao, and Sakai Tomokazu—these two individuals whom Xiao Yefeng despised were now stripped bare and pinned inside the containers by dozens of drug tubes. It was evident that they had also been killed by these people. However, what shocked Xiao Yefeng the most was seeing someone he thought he had killed—Abe Nobuyuki!
A person who had died nine years ago suddenly appeared before Xiao Yefeng's eyes. In all that time, this person had not turned to dust, and it seemed he was in the same state as the recently slain Owl. What was going on?
While Xiao Yefeng was pondering this, a cracking sound echoed as he turned to see the iron box being opened. White protective gas sprayed out and gradually dissipated. A man reached into the box and pulled out a silver alloy case. After entering a password, the case opened to reveal a golden-red potion.
At that moment, the man directly poured the potion into Owl's glass container. A golden tube, as thick as a toothpick, emerged from above and inserted itself into Owl's heart. Although Owl was already dead, once this injection was administered, the golden liquid completely entered his body. The lifeless flesh of Owl began to convulse uncontrollably; his skin was cracking and reforming. After about ten seconds, Owl's lifeless body suddenly opened its eyes—no longer did it have its previous sapphire blue pupils; instead, it now possessed a pair of golden-red eyes!
Then, a series of data popped up on the monitor outside the glass container. Xiao Yefeng secretly observed and saw various power values related to Owl displayed on the screen. Upon seeing this data, the man let out a sigh of relief and said, "Lord Po! The first experiment subject has been successfully revived! This Ancient Potion seems to be of good quality; it looks like we should have a success rate of around forty percent!"
Xiao Yefeng was taken aback by his words—Ancient Potion? Could it be that this was the formula his father had desperately brought back from Perfect World? Was that potion intended for this purpose?
