"Ah! If your grandfather had come to us back then, that child would not have ended up in such a fate," sighed the Guardian Master, who had remained silent until now.
"Masters, may I ask why my father was harmed by the people from Perfect World? For all these years, I only knew that my father brought out the Bagua Mirror of our Xiao Family from Perfect World, along with a piece of tattered cloth that wrapped the Bagua Mirror. However, I believe that alone shouldn't warrant such a ruthless attack from Perfect World!" Xiao Yefeng, finally recognizing his grandfather, immediately inquired about the events of that time.
"Well! You will understand soon enough. After this meeting, the three of us will discuss your Xiao Family's matters in detail," Master Yuqing said as he patted Xiao Yefeng on the shoulder.
The meeting was straightforward, primarily introducing the re-emerging Three Elders to everyone. There was also some discussion regarding the issues raised by Jie’s invitation. At this moment, Xiao Yefeng hardly paid attention; he had set his mind on the details that the Three Elders would share about his past.
Meetings of the Righteous Path often ended without resolution, and this one was no exception. After some discussions, the Three Elders took Xiao Yefeng to another room where they each recounted everything they knew about those events. Xiao Yefeng interjected to organize the information, and eventually, a somewhat reasonable explanation emerged—those events were indeed complicated.
It turned out that the Bagua Mirror brought out by Xiao Wen from Perfect World was not significant at all; after all, Perfect World looked down on such things. The real reason Xiao Yefeng faced relentless pursuit was due to that piece of tattered cloth. In fact, it was more than just a rag; it was a piece of Fur passed down from the Ancient Era, inscribed with a mysterious formula.
No one knew what that formula entailed because the writing on the Fur was not any language known on Earth—not even the earliest pictographs could decipher it.
By now, that formula had long been destroyed by Xiao Wen, and there were no memories of it within the Xiao Family's heritage. Thus, no one knew its contents. However, one thing was certain: this formula was crucial for Perfect World, so much so that they were willing to expose their identities to hunt down Xiao Wen and reclaim the Fur containing it.
Eventually, when Xiao Wen was discovered by Perfect World members and killed alongside his wife, those individuals did not intend to give up on killing Xiao Yefeng. However, coincidentally, Master Yuqing happened to pass by after Xiao Wen's murder. Upon discovering what had happened, he immediately engaged in battle with the Perfect World members pursuing Xiao Yefeng. At that moment, Xiao Wen's cousin managed to take Xiao Yefeng away.
Thus, when Master Yuqing returned after defeating his opponents, he could not find Xiao Yefeng and regretted it for many years. As for that formula, it was clear that Perfect World had already obtained it—whether from his father's soul or elsewhere remained unknown; otherwise, they would not have given up.
With all this information swirling in his mind, Xiao Yefeng felt somewhat disoriented. The formula that Perfect World was so desperate to retrieve back then had been taken from his father; why had they remained silent for so many years? Moreover, after their return this time, there seemed to be no significant actions taken. Their recent attempts to seize map fragments and target the Eight Directions Seal towards Ancient Ruins while provoking guardians from both East and West raised questions about their true intentions.
Additionally, there was Qing's video regarding Gene Serum vaporization research—what purpose did it serve? Did it relate to practical applications? Xiao Yefeng could hardly believe that Perfect World would go through such trouble researching something useless. With these doubts lingering in his mind throughout the night, he finally arrived at the next day. Under Qing's guidance, a group headed to the meeting location designated by Jie—a Seven-Star Hotel in Beijing North.
At that moment, the massive hotel resembled a ghostly labyrinth, devoid of any life. Led by the only living soul present, Xiao Yefeng pushed open the grand hall's doors and found himself face to face with Jie and his group, who had been waiting. Jie wore a long robe adorned with golden embroidery, while Xius was dressed in Western-style noble attire. Alongside them were several familiar faces from Church, all of whom were elite members.
"Sister, thank you for gracing us with your presence!" Jie greeted with a smile and a nod.
However, Qing did not return the smile she once had; instead, she spoke calmly, "Jie! I believe you know why I'm here!"
"Of course, if it weren't for this matter, I wouldn't have come here! Now, let's get to the point. There's no need for hostility among us because the time for our internal conflicts has long since passed!" Jie said as he retrieved a small vial of light green liquid from Xius's pocket and placed it on the table. He turned the rotating tray towards Qing and said, "Sister, this is the potion I obtained at great cost!"
Looking at the vial that contained less than a milliliter of the light green liquid, Qing picked it up and asked, "Is this the one from the video?"
"Exactly. Perfect World has named this potion the Divine Elixir. Once consumed, it will suppress hunger for at least a month! Moreover, it significantly enhances one's physical constitution. A person who has long suffered from malnutrition will become extraordinarily strong and powerful within days of taking this potion!" Jie spread his hands wide.
Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions changed dramatically. At that moment, Xiao Yefeng interjected, "Why would you be so kind as to share something like this with us?"
"You must be Xiao Yefeng! I've heard much about you! You're right; I have ambition and capability. With this potion, I certainly intend to cultivate my warriors on a large scale. However, it's unfortunate that I didn't develop this potion myself. The true enemy behind its creation is none other than Perfect World!" Jie slammed his hand on the table in frustration.
Xiao Yefeng found Jie's demeanor even more convincing. Over the years, everyone knew Jie was not one to easily concede defeat. Yet now he had to bow before such a potion, which spoke volumes.
Xiao Yefeng understood the information from the video and grasped its implications. He glanced at Qing, who nodded in agreement. Xiao Yefeng then asked, "Since this potion can yield such miraculous effects and could benefit humanity greatly, why are you so certain we should collaborate to face Perfect World together?"
"Heh heh, ha ha ha! Alright! Since we're all gathered here, I'll be straightforward. The last spy I sent into Perfect World sent me one final video segment; let's watch it together!" After an almost maniacal laugh, Jie spoke coldly.
Immediately after, a video was projected onto the wall. It was clear that it came from a concealed camera worn on someone's chest. The footage showed the same room as in the previous video; however, unlike before when those trapped in cages had been lively, they now lay powerless on the ground. The Beast Transformation Form had completely vanished from them; apart from a few remnants of torn clothing on some individuals, they were almost entirely naked.
Once again, it was the woman who remained hidden. After a peculiar piece of music played, all the men and women who had been powerless on the ground stood up like Walking Corpses, their heads drooping and eyes vacant as they stared ahead. With another whistle, the people in the cage transformed into their Beast Transformation Forms, instantly attacking the bars that confined them. Their claws and fangs shattered the cage as if it were made of fragile glass, and in their frenzy, they charged toward the woman.
Just as the woman was unsure how to create another sound, the crazed crowd made a one-eighty turn and rushed toward the person filming them. A piercing scream of "No!" echoed before the camera fell to the ground. At that moment, the woman's voice rang out: "Master, all participants in the research have been silenced. What should we do next?"
The woman had a communicator and continued, "Alright, I will return these people to their original places immediately! But Master! Without our control, these creatures will go berserk at unpredictable times. What will we do then? I acknowledge my mistake!"
Clearly, the woman had some doubts, but she hesitated to speak further. As she stepped out of the room in her high heels, countless figures transformed back into ordinary people passed by the camera. Finally, someone stepped on the camera and shattered it, causing the screen to go dark as the video ended. Everyone in the room fell into deep thought except for Jie, who had not seen this video before.
At that moment, Xiao Yefeng was filled with confusion. From what he observed about those individuals, it seemed similar to being under the influence of Soul Control and Walking Corpse Technique from Huaxia Fengshui Technique. However, these individuals were genuine Gene Warriors. What did it mean to return them to their original places? Did it refer to where they had previously captured these people?
What was Perfect World trying to achieve by throwing these uncontrolled Gene Warriors into the realm of ordinary people? What benefit would come from instilling fear in them? At that moment, Qing looked up and asked, "Jie! Do you know anything else?"
After a short while, Jie reluctantly stood up and said, "You know me well, sister. Indeed, I think we are left with only those around us to utilize. From what I know, since a few days ago, Xius has discovered changes among certain Western forces. The previously constant friction among some factions has ceased entirely. Moreover, anyone capable received a letter—though some didn’t even pay attention!"
As Jie finished speaking, Xiao Yefeng suddenly froze because he too had received an unsigned letter a few days ago. It was sealed with a blood-red envelope that simply bore the word "Please." However, when Xiao Yefeng moved into Golden House Courtyard a few days ago, he had carelessly discarded it without noticing.
At that moment, among fewer than twenty people in the room besides Xiao Yefeng, five stood up in surprise. These five were from both sides but were all newcomers to this world. Among them were Deng Yixin and Liu Entai. Seeing them stand up, Jiang Xing asked: "What’s going on?"
