"Of course, I have a clear understanding!" Xiao Yefeng said.
"Alright, now that you know what you wanted to know and our conversation is over, there's something else I need to tell you that you probably don't know. The notebook you handed to Jiang Xing has been destroyed! I believe Jiang Xing will contact you soon. If you remember any part of the information, it would be best to recall it while it's still fresh in your mind," Qing said as she turned to leave.
Upon hearing Qing's words, Xiao Yefeng opened his mouth but couldn't find anything to say. Since the actions in Jiang Xing's hands could be destroyed by someone from Perfect World, it was certainly not a strong-arm robbery; there must be an insider involved. It seemed President would once again be burdened with guilt. Just as Qing was about to disappear from sight, she added one more thing.
"By the way! I forgot to mention something you might want to know. The constellation you served in during your youth has disbanded; it vanished overnight without a trace, and no one knows where they went!" With that, her voice faded away, and she was gone.
Xiao Yefeng frowned. Given what he had seen and heard in Africa, how could the constellation secretly developing the Gene Serum disband? He didn't know about the other palace masters, but with the strength of the Virgo Palace Master, they were already among the top in this era. An organization with twelve such elite fighters would not willingly disband. The dissolution of a mercenary group could only be due to two reasons.
The first reason is that the mercenary team was completely annihilated; even if there were survivors, they couldn't form a significant force anymore, thus forcing them to disband. This scenario was unlikely for the constellation organization. Therefore, the second reason must be more plausible: the constellation had a grand plan that required them to disband at all costs to achieve their goals.
These doubts swirled in Xiao Yefeng's mind until he realized that the sun had set. He had returned to the Liu Family. After freshening up, Xiao Yefeng and Liu Yiyi entered the living room where their family of four sat around the table. The meal was quite lavish, featuring game from the mountains and delicacies from both land and sea, showcasing various ingredients. Liu Qing and Liu Yiyi's culinary skills were exceptional, making for a delightful dinner where everyone enjoyed each other's company. Given the earlier conversation between mother and daughter, Liu Qing refrained from bringing up her suggestion about their marriage. Eventually, after some light conversation, they all returned to their rooms.
"Brother Feng, what did Azure Maiden say?" Although Liu Yiyi didn't want to ask, her curiosity got the better of her.
"A reason to put aside grievances and join forces with Jie Yifang," Xiao Yefeng replied candidly, sharing everything he had learned from the video with Liu Yiyi. Upon hearing this, Liu Yiyi felt a sense of familiarity as if someone had gone through something similar with her; however, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't recall it. But she didn't press further; if she couldn't remember, then so be it.
"So it means we have to cooperate with those people from the West?" Liu Yiyi asked.
"That seems likely. I'm curious about what Master of Perfect World is planning. What purpose does researching these Gene Serums serve?" Xiao Yefeng said as he lay down on his bed. As for why he wasn't absorbing Qi for cultivation—at his current state, there was hardly any Qi in the air that he could utilize. Moreover, Qi was now so scarce that even absorbing it for an entire night wouldn't provide enough for him to use a single explosive talisman. Thus, Xiao Yefeng had given up on absorbing Qi altogether.
Though he had shed his outer garments, Xiao Yefeng still wore snug clothing as he lay at the head of his bed. He found it hard to fall asleep; thoughts of Perfect World stirred restlessly in his mind along with lingering family grievances. Cheap Brother and Wu Kui hadn't appeared or spoken with him for quite some time, leaving him feeling uncertain about what to do next.
Just then, a soft yet icy body suddenly leaned against him. Xiao Yefeng opened his eyes to see a familiar face before him. Reaching out, he pulled Liu Yiyi close into his embrace while she greedily wrapped her arms around his chest.
In the embrace of beauty, there was no stirring of the heart. Xiao Yefeng thought it was a trick, yet this woman, Liu Yiyi, was not to be trifled with. Even with the protection of Primordial Qi, any attempt by Xiao Yefeng to engage in intimate actions with Liu Yiyi would result in his body being directly frozen. The critical point lay in whether Liu Yiyi was emotionally stirred; once her emotions heightened, the Yin energy would rapidly expand. In moments of passion, Liu Yiyi nearly turned the entire room into ice, not to mention other consequences.
Holding Liu Yiyi, Xiao Yefeng quickly fell asleep. Meanwhile, Liu Yiyi clung to the familiar figure but wept like rain. As she cried, she too drifted into a deep slumber. Finally, the dawn of a new day arrived. After covering Liu Yiyi with her blanket, Xiao Yefeng sat at the table, recalling everything he had seen in his notebook. However, aside from some strange symbols, he could not remember the textual explanations.
Thus, after transcribing all the recalled information completely, the sun had already risen. With the sound of a knock on the door from the nanny, Liu Yiyi and Xiao Yefeng went downstairs together for breakfast.
Just halfway through their meal, Xiao Yefeng indeed received a call from Jiang Xing. After hastily finishing his meal, Xiao Yefeng prepared to leave. Just as Liu Yiyi intended to follow him, she was stopped by Liu Qing. Consequently, Xiao Yefeng set off alone to meet Mo Fei first at Beijing North. After personally handing over the materials to Jiang Xing, Xiao Yefeng discussed matters regarding Qing's video.
As expected, Jiang Xing was also aware of the video situation. After exchanging opinions among themselves, they settled on the most reasonable explanation: Perfect World must be interested in something within the Ancient Ruins that likely aligned with Jie’s objectives but was fundamentally opposed to them. As for what their true purpose was, Xiao Yefeng and his companions could not deduce it. Fortunately, those recalled last time were not far from Beijing North; this time only a few received invitations from Jie. Most had already arrived at Beijing North.
The individuals invited by Jie included Xiao Yefeng, Jiang Xing, Cao Man, Li Xiangjun, Liu Entai, Deng Yixin, and four or five other powerful figures familiar to Xiao Yefeng—those who had previously caused significant losses to Jie. Of course, there were also individuals like Xiao Yefeng who had little interaction but gained recognition through their strength.
At this moment, Xiao Yefeng truly learned all of Metaphysics Society's hidden cards. Everyone who received Jie’s invitation was present in this room; it contained all of Huaxia's foremost experts or those on the verge of becoming one. There were fourteen people in total: seven were genuine experts while the remaining seven could enter that realm at any time.
Among the seven experts were three known figures from Metaphysics Society aside from Xiao Yefeng and Vice President. The remaining three were individuals Xiao Yefeng had never seen before. In fact, aside from Jiang Xing, even Li Xiangjun and Cao Man did not recognize these three.
Two of these three were elderly men with snow-white hair and beards that clearly indicated their advanced age. They sat at the head of the table beside Jiang Xing, signifying their high status.
The Three Elders sat half-leaning on their chairs when Xiao Yefeng walked into the room. The elder in the middle raised an eyebrow and stared at Xiao Yefeng for a long time. Almost simultaneously, the other two turned their gazes toward him as well. Under their scrutiny, Xiao Yefeng felt as if the air around him had solidified.
What powerful control over spiritual energy! But don’t underestimate me, Xiao Yefeng!
He silently thought to himself as he flipped his right wrist and formed a sword gesture. A Bagua Diagram unfolded around him as its center; golden cyan lines outlined eight directions while Carefree Righteousness transformed into Yin-Yang Fish that began to spin rapidly, repelling the binding force of the Three Elders. Although Xiao Yefeng could not counterattack, he successfully prevented their spiritual energy from approaching the Bagua Diagram. At that moment, Tricolor Jade Ring Inspiration flickered; it was evident that at any moment Xiao Yefeng could draw out a Spirit Talisman to enhance the power of the Bagua Diagram.
The most crucial aspect was that he sensed pressure from within; Yin-Yang Sword stirred restlessly within the Jade Ring as if its murderous aura could no longer be contained. At this moment, Xiao Yefeng also felt that after being sealed by Yin Soul Soil, Yin-Yang Sword seemed to have increased its desire for battle significantly. For a magical sword, it appeared that Yin and Yang had transcended their usual boundaries and transformed into a weapon specifically designed for slaughter.
"Impressive!"
"Interesting!"
"We have successors!"
The three exclamations came from the Three Elders, who then spoke in unison, "It's a pity that the era is no longer one for us Geomancers! What a shame for this talented Geomancer!"
Feeling the pressure dissipate, Xiao Yefeng also released the Carefree Righteousness that enveloped him. With the absence of an opponent, the Yin-Yang Sword returned to calmness. At that moment, Jiang Xing stood up and said, "Don't be unreasonable, Feng! These three are the true guardians behind Huaxia: Master Ran Weng, the Guardian Deity, and Master Yuqing."
Upon hearing Jiang Xing's words, Xiao Yefeng immediately bowed to greet the three. However, they waved him over to stand before them. Although he didn't quite understand, Xiao Yefeng approached them nonetheless.
"It's been many years; even your grandson can bear the strength of all three of us now. It seems we really are getting old! Time truly spares no one!" The only elder, Master Yuqing, patted Xiao Yefeng on the shoulder and continued.
The two elders beside him took over the conversation: "Indeed! Back in the day, your grandfather was just like this. But your grandfather used the Seven Star Needle to unlock our Spirit locks. Young man, you are indeed much stronger than your grandfather!"
"Do you three masters know my grandfather?" Xiao Yefeng asked in confusion.
"Of course! I remember when I was still the President of the Metaphysics Society—back when it wasn't even called that. I led Huaxia's Geomancers at that time. Your grandfather refused to join us; not only did he refuse, but he also wanted to challenge all three of us. In the end, your grandfather showcased his true strength and successfully escaped from us. He was truly an outstanding Geomancer; it's a pity that the Xiao Family's fate is such!" Master Ran Weng said from his central position.
