Everything was ready, just waiting for any information about the Human United Federation. Xiao Yefeng was worried about the safety of both himself and Mo Fei, but he had no good solutions. He forced himself to calculate Mo Fei's whereabouts, but all he found was a vast emptiness, with no results. The machine had become chaotic, making it impossible to investigate! Everything depended on the Human United Federation taking action.
The reason Xiao Yefeng felt this confidence was that, despite failing to locate Mo Fei, he had sensed a hint of danger. This danger originated from the Human United Federation. Amidst the confusion of calculations, Xiao Yefeng felt that the Human United Federation might target someone familiar to him. Further calculations surprisingly revealed that the danger came from Heishan!
Speaking of Heishan, it had been a long time since Xiao Yefeng last saw him. Ever since they eradicated the Demon Tower, Xiao Yefeng had rarely continued his research on Talismans because Qi had disappeared. The Talismans he carved were simply a waste of spiritual energy. Moreover, Heishan, who inherited the Paper Offering Shop, had already married and started a family. Due to the depletion of spiritual energy, he could no longer produce Yellow Talismans infused with spiritual power, so aside from sending New Year greetings each year, they hardly interacted.
Of course, Heishan would always send blessings to Xiao Yefeng during festivals, and Xiao Yefeng had secretly helped out the struggling Paper Offering Shop a few times! However, Xiao Yefeng never expected that the crisis he calculated would occur in Heishan's life. To avoid bringing trouble to Heishan, Xiao Yefeng decided to protect him in secret. He couldn't understand why capturing Mo Fei and Sophia would have an impact on Huaxia, but what use would capturing Heishan serve?
At that moment, Heishan was also troubled at home. Everything stemmed from a few days ago when Mo Fei unexpectedly sent him a black box through the mail.
The box had only a few words on it but could not be opened. The message read: "In five days, deliver this box to Xiao Yefeng!"
Calculating the days, it was already the fourth day. Concerned about what this meant, Heishan had hardly left his house and kept staring at the box. He thought about whether he should call Xiao Yefeng in advance. The empty house only contained Heishan; his wife and children had been sent back to her family three days prior. Heishan didn't know what this box represented; however, as a half Geomancer himself, even though his spiritual energy was depleted, he still had some instinctive feelings.
After pacing back and forth, Heishan finally made up his mind—he couldn't wait any longer. He needed to inform Uncle Xiao ahead of time; after all, the fifth day was tomorrow. If he called today, he could reach Uncle Xiao sooner rather than later. What if there was an urgent matter? It wouldn't be breaking the agreement if he called now!
Meanwhile, Xiao Yefeng noticed some people quietly approaching outside Heishan's house. These individuals were well-trained; even from a distance, it was clear they were covering all possible escape routes around Heishan's home. They were evidently prepared for something!
Could the problem arise today? As Xiao Yefeng pondered this while moving closer to Heishan's house, he recalled that he had visited Mo Fei's home before coming here. However, it was empty—there were no signs of life whatsoever. Clearly, Mo Fei's family had left long ago. What puzzled Xiao Yefeng even more was that Mo Fei's wife, Xiao Ling, was also familiar to him; they had a son who was also nine years old—just like his own Great Treasure.
To his surprise upon investigation, Xiao Yefeng discovered that Mo Wen had transferred schools a month ago. This was too strange; Mo Fei was his best friend! Especially after their constellation disappeared and all his teammates went missing—Mo Fei was one of the few friends he still had left. Over these years, Mo Fei would often share meals and drinks with him; however, since two years ago, Mo Fei frequently had reasons not to meet him.
Previously, Xiao Yefeng thought this was normal behavior; however, looking back now, it seemed that Mo Fei had been intentionally distancing himself for several years. What could be the reason behind this?
Moreover, now that his family had vanished from Huaxia before disappearing themselves—it was evident that he knew something significant but hadn’t shared it with his best friend! What could possibly compel him to hide such information?
While Xiao Yefeng struggled to find a reasonable explanation for why Mo Fei concealed his family's whereabouts from him, his phone rang suddenly—it was Heishan! Without hesitation, Xiao Yefeng answered: "Shan! What's going on?"
"It’s like this! Uncle Xiao, a few days ago I received a message from Uncle Mo." As soon as Xiao Yefeng heard this, he understood everything. Clearly, Mo Fei had sensed something was about to happen to him and had left something behind. Why didn’t he just send it directly? There was no time for contemplation now, as Xiao Yefeng noticed someone had already moved, evidently having seen Heishan on the phone.
Meanwhile, Heishan was still not finished. Sitting alone in the room, he was suddenly attacked by a dart that broke through the glass window. Heishan had learned the true teachings of the Mystical Sect; although he hadn’t taken the Gene Serum, his own strength was not to be underestimated. With nothing handy at hand, he instinctively threw his phone at the dart.
"Crash! Clatter!" The phone shattered upon impact with the dart, which then fell to the ground due to the obstruction.
In that instant, Heishan rolled backward to evade a machete swung by a member of the Human United Federation who had entered through the broken glass window. However, another assailant had already slipped in through the back window and raised a steel rod to strike Heishan.
In a critical moment, Heishan drew a fine steel sword from beneath the sofa. Although it had long lost its spiritual power, Heishan was one of the fortunate ones who had awakened his genes. While he could not utilize his Beastification ability, his self-developed genes had enhanced all of his basic strength. Drawing out the fine steel sword—more accurately described as a longsword—he swiftly countered and knocked the killer wielding the steel rod off balance.
"Who are you?" Heishan retreated to the corner of the wall with his sword in hand.
"Hand over what you have, or your life is forfeit!" A third person rushed into the room and declared immediately.
Heishan paused for a moment and quickly understood the situation. Biting his lip, he tightened his grip on the sword and said, "I don’t know what you’re talking about!"
"Don’t know? Then we’ll just have to search your corpse!" The third person pressed an earpiece and commanded sharply, "Sniper! Move in!"
Upon hearing about a sniper, Heishan's nerves tensed up; he lowered himself slightly and scanned the windows around him. The four of them exchanged glances but remained silent. Heishan licked his lips nervously while the three intruders were momentarily taken aback. The third person pressed their earpiece again and said, "Sniper! Are you dead? Why—"
Before finishing, an unfamiliar voice came through the earpiece: "Not at all; they’re already dead!"
"Who are you?" The third person asked anxiously.
"You'll find out soon enough!" The voice replied. The third person looked at his two companions in shock just as two swift sounds pierced through the air. In his view, both of his comrades fell into pools of blood on either side of him, each with a bullet hole in their skulls. However, these were not bullets fired from a gun since there was no sound of gunfire!
Having dealt with firearms for years, he immediately realized this fact. In an instant, he understood they had run into serious trouble. He turned to flee through the empty doorway when suddenly a man dressed casually and carrying six sniper rifles appeared out of nowhere to block his escape!
"Damn it!" After a furious curse, the man swallowed hard as if he had ingested something. Seeing this, the man carrying the Sniper Rifle said, "Want to die? It's not that easy!"
Before he could swallow whatever was in his throat, the butt of the Sniper Rifle slammed against his neck. In an instant, a hand pressed over his mouth, creating a reverse airflow that forcibly extracted what he had swallowed from his throat. Then, the man pointed a finger at him, and he collapsed to the ground, soft and limp, with only his eyes glaring at the newcomer.
"Uncle Xiao!" Heishan exclaimed in shock upon seeing the visitor.
The newcomer was indeed Xiao Yefeng. Just as Xiao Yefeng was about to enter the house to rescue Heishan, he noticed that none of the people entering were carrying firearms; they clearly intended to capture someone alive. However, Xiao Yefeng saw six snipers armed with Sniper Rifles occupying the surrounding high ground. It was evident that these snipers equipped with special ammunition posed the greatest threat. Therefore, Xiao Yefeng first dealt with the snipers and their assistants before arriving at Heishan's home.
"Shan! Are you okay?" Xiao Yefeng asked.
"I'm fine. Uncle Xiao, how did you get here? Weren't you at home just now during our call?" Heishan replied. Indeed, Xiao Yefeng had been at home earlier, but he had been secretly monitoring those who were watching Heishan. He believed there were surveillance devices left by these people in Heishan's house.
"That's not important anymore. I already know about Feige's disappearance. Luckily, I had a feeling and calculated that you were in danger, which is why I rushed here just in time to find you surrounded by these people! No more talking! Did Feige leave something for me?" Xiao Yefeng said.
Heishan nodded and then took out a box from his pocket and handed it to Xiao Yefeng. Upon receiving the box, Xiao Yefeng realized it was a confidential box used by the Tiger Shark Team and their friends to leave messages behind enemy lines. It could only be opened using specific methods. Xiao Yefeng couldn't understand what Mo Fei's intention was with this.
Twisting and pulling in various directions, the palm-sized black box eventually elongated to about a foot in length. As Xiao Yefeng twisted it in reverse, there was a loud crack as the black shell shattered instantly, revealing a piece of letterhead written by Mo Fei!
After a hurried glance at it, Xiao Yefeng's expression turned serious. The Tricolor Jade Ring shimmered as it absorbed the letter into itself. Then, Xiao Yefeng lifted the now limp leader of the assassins with one hand and began searching him for any totem markings. However, aside from a steel knife and three throwing darts, he found nothing else on him.
