"Dragoons?!" Xia Fei was stunned. He had not imagined that the three people who had saved the Dark Spiritualists would be Dragoons!

Frowning, Xia Fei asked, "Shouldn't Dragoons be elites of the New Hero Alliance? Why are they standing opposed to us and appearing in the Alpha Universe, too?"

White Haze was also confused. Stroking that ugly wool ball on his hat, he said, "You're asking me, but who am I gonna ask? I'm simply one of the liaisons used by the Dragoons, but from the tone of my superiors, I feel that the Dragoons may not be internally united, and the political struggles are exceptionally fierce. The string of incidents that has taken place in the Alpha Universe may be an extension of the political battles taking place above."

Xia Fei nodded. The Dragoons called themselves the strongest fighting force, and they were a force formed in preparation for the day of the Universal Dragon's return. The person currently in command of this force would take control of the Lower Five Stars and the Gemini Universe, two entire dimensional planes. Political conflict among the upper echelons was very normal.

Intelligent life was very skilled at internal conflict. Xia Fei had understood this all the way back when he was still living on Earth.

"You are currently a Neophyte of the Devil Shadow Dragoons and have yet to enter the ranks of Annihilators, so you've been left in Alpha. There are a few Dragoons in your situation, but they all belong to other forces, like the Holy Light Dragoons or the Destiny Dragoons, so I'm not sure how many of them there are.

"Besides that, there are some Dragoons who have reached the Annihilator tier but have remained here for reasons unknown. In summary, the Alpha Universe doesn't have a lot of Dragoons and Neophyte Dragoons, but it's not a small number, either; there are several dozens or perhaps even more than a hundred at least."

Xia Fei was rather surprised. "The Alpha Universe may have more than one hundred Dragoons in hiding? That's a force that can't be underestimated."

White Haze said indifferently, "What's to be surprised about? The universe is very vast, and the lower five stars happen to be five universes."

After thinking it over, Xia Fei realized that he was right. Let alone one hundred people, even ten billion people could be easily hidden. Nonetheless, for five Dragoons to have appeared on Spirit Mountain—him, Qiu Xingbang, and those three strangers—was quite strange.

Seeing that Xia Fei was deep in thought, White Haze could not help but remind, "Regardless of what our superiors think, it's a fact that Dragoons from the Lower Five Stars participated from the Collapsed Expanse of Founders' string of attacks to the Dark Spiritualists' assault. It's very possible that you may be assigned several missions and for your opponents to be Dragoons!"

Xia Fei was shocked again. "Dragoon versus Dragoon?!"

White Haze replied, "That may be the only way. Those above will definitely use their forces to resolve the Dragoons' internal matters and won't allow any other factions to interfere."

Xia Fei said, "That's truly rather problematic. Putting aside Yuan Liao, I don't get along with Qiu Xingbang at all. If you had me work with him, I'd never agree; I can only leave my back to people I trust. Even if we're all Dragoons, I won't trust them just because of that."

White Haze gave Xia Fei a profound look. "I can understand that, and you don't need to worry too much. After all, you're a Devil Shadow Dragoon. Let alone the Alpha Universe, even the Devil Shadow Dragoons in the Gemini Universe can be counted with one's fingers. You may receive special treatment."

White Haze was just a liaison, and he could not say much about the affairs of his superiors. After talking with Xia Fei for a while, White Haze took his leave.

When he returned to Spirit Mountain, everyone was waiting for him. The Lone Peak Turbid Shadow Organizationhad already vanished without a trace. These people were not part of Xia Fei's faction. Instead. the Blueblooded Soza of the Annihilator Universe had arranged them as back-up for Xia Fei.

The matter was resolved, and Lone Peak Shen and Turbid Shadow Lin did not have any relationship with Xia Fei, so it was very normal for them to leave without saying goodbye. Also, it fitted with their mysterious style.

Qiu Xingbang had also left; it was said that he had left with an extremely ugly expression on his face. As a Dragoon, Qiu Xingbang had suddenly received an order to obey Xia Fei's commands, which made the former feel somewhat humiliated. After all, Xia Fei had only been a Dragoon for a few days, whereas Qiu Xingbang had been a Neophyte for several hundred years. Let alone the fact that he had not received the chance to be sent to the Annihilator Universe, he had to listen to Xia Fei's orders, too. Qiu Xingbang's dignity received a heavy blow.

Seeing that Xia Fei had returned, Cloud Night brought Zesyr Night and Anzu Night to welcome him. Cloud Night was somewhat remorseful now. If he had known that Xia Fei was backed by such a powerful powerful force, even legendary figures like Lone Peak Shen and Turbid Shadow Shen coming to his aid, he would have chosen to stand on Xia Fei's side long ago.

Zesyr Night was very excited while Anzu Night was very afraid, worried that Xia Fei would take revenge. The people of the Night Clan were sure that someone of Xia Fei's personality could do anything.

However, while Xia Fei avenged any wrongdoings to him, he was also a man of his word. He said that he would not seek to settle accounts with Anzu Night, and he really did not do anything to him, but from start to finish, Xia Fei had never looked at the other. Clearly, the man was already dead to him, and from now on, Xia Fei would not listen to a word the other said.

Zesyr Night was feeling quite torn. No doubt Xia Fei's numerous dazzling performances were something this girl would always remember, but because of her brother, Anzu, the Night Clan's relationship with Xia Fei had become somewhat estranged.

Xia Fei was a man who had a very clear understanding of relationships. He did not touch Anzu because Cloud Night had once helped him deal with Aquamarine. Now that this debt had been settled, there was nothing between them. As for Zesyr, he had never even thought about her.

A true man would travel far and wide to make his mark. How could he suddenly lose himself in lust just because he saw a pretty girl?

Cloud Night exchanged a few words with Xia Fei before leaving with his grandchildren, and Xia Fei showed no emotion at all toward their departure. Zesyr Night suddenly felt her heart wince, but for the reason, this Night Clan's young miss did not know.

Spirit Mountain had been completely changed. The base that the Unrestricted Spirit lineage had used for eons was destroyed, and the Skywing wolves, as well as the Aurora Clan, were in the middle of sweeping up the battlefield. In this victory against the Dark Spiritualists, they were bound to gain a large number of soul weapons; these two clans had essentially struck it rich. However, Xia Fei did not care. He was already starting to use Annihilator soul weapons, so such low-grade products were not worth his attention.

Fuchen was dazedly staring at Xia Fei's fiendish blade Nirvana. Xia Fei did not go and talk to him, just letting the other be alone with his thoughts. The loss of the Unrestricted Spirit had likely affected him the most; instead, Xia Fei turned to Ulan.

Ulan was grief-stricken, as were the other three Spiritualists of Botany. The plant lineage was on the decline, and there were only five of them. Now, one of them had died. It was easy to imagine what the survivors were thinking.

Xia Fei generously comforted each of them and then said, "Although your great master has passed away, the plant lineage is reborn because of him."

Ulan turned to him. "What do you mean by that?"

Xia Fei replied, "It's very simple. In the battle of Spirit Mountain, the plant lineage stood out even more than Big Dipper, the Spiritualist Association chairman. All of you used your actions to reveal the true nature of the Spiritualist of Botany, so no one will dare to underestimate you from here on."

Ulan nodded. To be forgotten was always a painful affair. However, though the plant lineage now had a reputation, Ulan was still pained by the loss of a junior brother.

In the future, many Spiritualists did come to join the plant lineage, and while it remained weak, it at least had successors, avoiding the tragedy of gradually dying out. Of course, this was all a matter for the future.

After a pause, Xia Fei asked suddenly, "Right, where's Big Dipper?"

Ulan snorted coldly. "The illustrious master of the Spiritualist Association was beaten black and blue, and even the Six Great Masks, which the guild was so proud of, lost. You really think he'd have the face to stay?"

The Spiritualists of Botany felt much better after hearing that. In this battle, they had put up a much better performance than Big Dipper's side, which made their sacrifice worthwhile.

Ulan needed to bury his junior brother, so he said farewell to Fuchen and the others. Those killed by the Dark Spiritualists could not be reborn despite them having Seeds of Life, so in this aspect, one was no different from someone like Xia Fei, who did not have a Seed of Life. No one could survive damage to the soul, and not even the Law of Life could fix that. After all, law force represented physical power, which had nothing to do with the soul.

Once Ulan was gone, Fuchen continued to stare blankly at the fiendish blade Nirvana. Xia Fei chuckled and placed a hand on Fuchen's shoulder. "Is my Nirvana that enchanting?"

Fuchen said coolly, "See for yourself; Nirvana has unfurled six blades. Although it's not a soul weapon, I can't see that it's not weaker than a soul weapon. Soul weapons are called soul weapons because of the damage they can deal to the soul, and your Nirvana can both drain the soul and physical energy. In this aspect, it's truly surpassed the power of a soul weapon. Plus, Nirvana can send part of the absorbed energy to you, meaning that the more people you kill, the stronger you become. You have to treasure a divine weapon like this."

Fuchen was right on the mark. Other people were exhausted after big battles, but Xia Fei only grew more energetic. This was all because of Nirvana. Whenever he killed someone, Xia Fei would gain their energy. At the start of the battle, Xia Fei had only six thousand units of spirit energy left in his brain region after his excessive cultivation. After the battle, rather than decreasing, his spirit energy reserve had increased by more than a thousand! This ability to get more energy the more one fought would truly kill some people with envy.

Smiling, Xia Fei picked up Nirvana and found that it had gone from a cross- to a six-bladed snowflake. Not only did it have more blades, it was also much lighter. The body of the blades were black, while the edges were silver. It was a profound black and a sharp silver, the combination quite imposing.

"Radix, try it out," Xia Fei said with a smile.

Xia Fei's personal soul, Radix, immediately entered Nirvana, upon which the fiend blade flew around. Probably because Radix was overly excited, it accidentally destroyed an ancient pavilion on Spirit Mountain, massive booms ringing out as shrapnel flew through the air.

"Uh…" Xia Fei frowned and said apologetically, "the Unrestricted Spirit already didn't have many buildings left; Radix really needs to be more careful."

No one liked seeing their home be dismantled, and this was not even considering that the Spirit Mountain was already in a miserable state.

Fuchen shook his head and smiled bitterly. "From now on, there will be no more Unrestricted Spirit. Just destroy it all. Seeing it will also make me sad. In fact, I have to apologize for burdening you. I originally planned to take you into the Unrestricted Spirit and give you a proper title, but now, we're the only two left of the Unrestricted Spirit lineage. I'm guessing that there's no need for that now."

Xia Fei asked in surprise, "Just the two of us? Then Lingxing and Basalt..."

Fuchen raised his head and stated firmly, "I killed them!"

Fuchen suddenly exploded with a murderous aura! Was this still the same Fuchen? That old man who was hesitant, nostalgic, and cowardly was now a lethal weapon, his aura sharp!

Xia Fei felt rather emotional. Had Fuchen's transformation not been forced on him? Lingxing, Basalt, and Hei Wuji truly deserved their deaths, forcing the indecisive Fuchen into a ruthless killer!

However, after thinking about it, Xia Fei felt rather proud. Fuchen, who was on very good terms with him, was now a true warrior; in the future, he would probably be extremely helpful to his cause.

As Xia Fei was inwardly making a naughty smile, Xia Guanghai came over with a grim expression and whispered, "There's a problem. As we were sweeping the battlefield, we discovered that the corpse of that hunchback the Dark Spiritualists brought had disappeared!"

"Smashed to bits?" Xia Fei asked.

"No. That hunchback looked very weird; our brothers took extra care to leave its corpse intact so that we could investigate it. If my guess is correct, someone must've secretly snatched it; that way, we wouldn't find out the hunchback's secrets," Xia Guanghai said sternly.
