After several unsuccessful attempts to persuade him, Xiao Yefeng finally boarded the return flight with three others. The Wind and Thunder Envoys and Sophia were not traveling to Huaxia for leisure; instead, they were on a mission to discuss the Elementalist issue with the Metaphysics Society, Jiang Xing, and even the representative of the realm, Azure Maiden.
At that moment, while Xiao Yefeng was on his way back, far away in another corner of the Earth, a man dressed in black sportswear and wearing a baseball cap was resting on a bench. He appeared to be around twenty-four or twenty-five years old. The long brim of his cap obscured the upper part of his face, but it was clear that he was deep in thought. He was in a park bustling with people exercising.
However, no one noticed anything unusual about this man because he was looking down, a position that seemed perfectly normal. Yet, his left hand was tightly clenched into a fist, clearly holding something inside. Meanwhile, his right hand formed a strange hand gesture, with fingers arranged in an odd manner reminiscent of an Angry Buddha. Surrounding him was a swirling mass of purple-red Inspiration that flickered continuously, yet no one seemed to notice—wasn't that strange?
Finally, after taking a deep breath, the man relaxed his hand gesture, and the Inspiration around him dissipated. At that moment, those exercising began to notice him. "Oh! When did this young man sit here to rest?" But it was merely a fleeting thought; after all, they were strangers. Who would take an interest in each other? They simply assumed he had arrived unnoticed.
"Impressive! I almost got calculated out. It seems I can no longer remain an outsider! Xie Lao! Book me a ticket there. Since the wheels of fate have begun to turn, I can no longer continue to live quietly as an ordinary person!" The man tossed off his cap, revealing his face in the sunlight.
Although his features were hard to discern directly under the sun, there was something vaguely familiar about him. Most importantly, as he opened his arms wide to embrace the sunlight, what he held tightly in his left hand came into view—a crystal-clear bell hanging from a chain that refracted sunlight like crystal and emitted soft chimes.
At that moment, the cap he had thrown suddenly stopped mid-air a few meters away as a robust elderly man appeared and caught it by one corner. The old man had shoulder-length silver hair neatly combed back, with sideburns tied at the back with a hair tie. His well-built physique filled out a sharp suit—quite a stylish elderly gentleman.
"Shen Shao! Have you made up your mind? You should know that if you step out now, some things will need to be reshuffled!" After placing the cap properly on the bench, the old man spoke.
"Xie Lao! Do you remember my father's words?" the young man replied.
"Of course! Your father was my benefactor; every word he said is something I must remember. If anyone relies on the Soul Bell to find you, then it is time to resolve past grievances!" Xie Lao's expression turned respectful when mentioning the young man's father.
Glancing at the Soul Bell in his hand, the young man put it back around his neck and said, "Some matters must be resolved even if my father has changed. Between Xiao Yefeng and me, only one can survive. A new era begins; an old chapter ends. The grievances between us will be settled in this confrontation!"
Turning away, he walked toward the Forest Path while Xie Lao watched his back with reluctance but felt powerless to intervene and could only follow him. As they moved into the shade of trees, the young man's handsome features became visible—his strikingly proportionate facial features confirmed his good looks; wherever he went, he would surely attract admiration from girls.
However, there was one unfortunate detail: his eyes were grayish-white pupils indicating that he was blind. Unlike typical blind individuals who kept their eyes closed, he was what one might call an "open-eyed blind person," capable of opening his eyes at any moment.
However, what was strange was that the Forest Path twisted and turned, surrounded by trees that caused the road to bend continuously. Yet, as a person who was essentially blind, he managed to avoid every obstacle.
At that moment, Xie Lao approached and handed him a pair of sunglasses. The two gradually disappeared into the woods. Just then, within the same forest, a casually dressed man glanced curiously at the two. He intended to call out to them but realized that by the time he opened his mouth, they had already vanished into the shadows of the trees.
"How strange. Why is Feng here? Isn't he already on a plane back to Huaxia? And who is that old man? Such a strong internal energy fluctuation; it feels at least like True Spirit Pinnacle, if not higher!" The man pondered in confusion.
Suddenly, a woman's voice came from ahead: "What’s taking so long? If we don’t hurry, we’ll miss our flight back to Huaxia!" The woman had long purple-red hair and a tall figure with perfect curves, instantly attracting the attention of those around her. Looking at the man beside her, many couldn't help but feel it was a case of flowers blooming in cow dung.
"Nothing much, I just thought I saw Feng," the man replied.
"Master Xiao? Impossible! I just received news that Master Xiao returned with three mysterious individuals. We need to go now; this time Master Xiao's return to Huaxia has triggered a joint mobilization from the Metaphysics Society, National Security, and the military. Clearly, something big is happening!" the woman said.
Is that so? Did I really see it wrong? But he looked just like him! With this thought, the man was pulled away by the woman. Soon they arrived at the airport, where a Huaxia person was already waiting for them.
"Are you Mr. Mo Fei and Sister Xiao Ling?" the person greeted politely.
After showing their identification, they bypassed the VIP area and headed straight to the airport. A plane was already waiting for them. The two boarded quickly without delay. As soon as they were on board, the plane took off directly. It was hard to imagine that this plane had been dispatched solely to pick them up. Onboard, Xiao Ling pouted and said, "What a buzzkill! Didn’t we take a three-month vacation? Our honeymoon trip has been interrupted by an emergency recall."
Seeing Xiao Ling's dissatisfaction, Mo Fei could only smile wryly. Indeed, after years of pursuit, Mo Fei had finally been conquered by Xiao Ling's relentless efforts. Just two weeks before receiving a letter from Xiao Yefeng sent by Virgo Palace Master, they had married in a flash and then taken leave for their honeymoon, which was why they hadn’t rushed to join Xiao Yefeng.
Of course, Mo Fei had now become a peak Inner Force warrior. Since entering Inner Force, his combat ability had skyrocketed like a rocket; he was now one of the top ten important members in terms of combat power within the Metaphysics Society.
As Mo Fei was recalled, other members from around the world were also urgently summoned back. As Xiao Yefeng flew toward Huaxia, other important members from Huaxia were also heading toward Beijing North's Metaphysics Society headquarters.
At this moment at the Jingbei Xuanxue Society headquarters, Jiang Xing, Li Xiangjun, and Cao Man were seated around a table. On the computer screen before them were dozens of red lines converging toward Beijing North. Li Xiangjun remarked, "This is too sudden; after so many years, we’ve only just discovered a fragment of a map. What has Azure Maiden been doing?"
"Exactly! Over the past few years, we've suffered countless casualties for her, and she hasn't gained anything at all! As we watch the surrounding Qi slowly disappear, what on earth are these people in the realm trying to accomplish?" Cao Man exclaimed, as fierce as ever.
Jiang Xing, however, spoke in a low voice, "Azure Maiden is stalling. She wants to obscure all information about the maps and treasures. She hopes that Jie’s side won't find anything, allowing her to quietly negate Jie’s plans and resolve the issue without bloodshed."
Almost piercingly accurate, Jiang Xing had deduced all of Azure Maiden's intentions. At that moment, Li Xiangjun understood everything and fell silent, while Cao Man asked, "Then why hasn’t this map fragment been obscured?"
"This time, it was unexpected. I suspect something must have gone wrong with Azure Maiden," Jiang Xing replied.
"No wonder the map belonging to the Grand Sage of Green has appeared; Azure Maiden hasn’t shown up!" Li Xiangjun pondered aloud.
"No! Azure Maiden has already given her word; this is also one of the reasons I called everyone together. She will come here to meet with us in three days, and by then, more people will sacrifice themselves! Moreover, she has instructed me not to send anyone to search for the Four Saints' items or map fragments anymore," Jiang Xing stated.
"I thought our President was gathering everyone for a meeting because of the three Elementalists brought back by the wind; I didn’t expect it was because of this matter!" Li Xiangjun said.
"There are aspects from both sides! The Elementalists brought back by the wind are also a key point. You must know that Qi is scarce now, but the wind Elementalists seem unaffected. The constellations and Perfect World, even the Church, are already researching Elementalist issues. We in Huaxia naturally need to try converting spiritual power into Elemental Power; at the very least, we need more means!" Jiang Xing lamented.
After a long pause, Cao Man said, "President! There's something I want to think about. I'm a bit curious about what era we are in. You see, modern technology has produced powerful weapons, and Gene Serum is no longer a secret. Do we still have a reason to exist? Or is what we're doing now just aimed at eliminating people like us?"
Upon hearing Cao Man's words, both of them were left speechless for a long time. They shared a similar feeling that repairing the dissipating Spirit Barrier seemed aimed at eliminating these Extraordinary Persons to make space for the newly emerged Gene Warriors. From the very beginning, Extraordinary Persons had been sacrificing continuously; over the years of open and covert struggles, they had already lost one-tenth of their members.
