It was already close to noon. At this time, even the most foolish person could sense that something was awry, that the elements were bubbling to the surface! While Spirit Mountain appeared to be completely calm on the surface, there was actually a shocking storm brewing in the background!

Hei Wuji dragged Basalt and Lingxing into the secret room and asked, “What’s going on here? Why are there so many people here?!”

Basalt and Lingxing were also confused. Lingxing ventured a guess, “Perhaps it’s because everyone is giving us face, and because it happens to concern the internal fight between Spiritualists, everyone came to inquire for news.”

“B*llsh*t!” Hei Wuji cursed with a black face. “Would they bring the strongest line-ups in their clans just to inquire about news?! Not to mention, just the Heavenly Might Spiritualist School alone has brought along Qiu Xingbang and Heavenly Might’s Double Dragons! That’s a line-up with three Peak Spiritualists! Plus, both of Qiu Xingbang’s sons are here! When have you seen Heavenly Might mobilize such a powerful line-up?! We have never had any association with Heavenly Might at all!”

Given how strange the situation was, even the heads of the Unrestricteds were beginning to feel uneasy. There were too many experts gathered here!

The Peak Spiritualists of Heavenly Might was actually just a small portion. None of those people were here with kind intentions, and if they really were to get unhappy, they were more than capable of leveling Spirit Mountain in minutes!

“Just who exactly has done this? If I find him, I will definitely end his life!” Basalt, the youngest one, hissed viciously.

“No use saying such spiteful words now. Those people outside aren’t people we can afford to offend. Besides, today is the ancestral worship day for the Unrestricted Sect; we must not become a laughingstock to these outsiders!” Hei Wuji declared loudly.

Basalt and Lingxing nodded reluctantly. With how things stood, they really had no choice but to suck it up. These experts were no different from Buddha. Who knew how many people would be there to serve them!

That was right about when a disciple from the Unrestricted Sect knocked on the door, and walked over with a nervous expression on his face.

“Masters, quick come out and see. People from the Shui Clan have arrived!”

“Shui Clan?! From the Nineteen States of Windcloud, the people of Serene Jadewater?!” Lingxing asked, startled.

“That’s right, that Serene Jadewater!”

The three of them let off bitter chuckles deep down. To say that the Heavenly Might Spiritualist School had no association with the Unrestricted Sect was at least due to the face they showed each other as Spiritualists. As for Serene Jadewater, that has been many years of no contact, and they had not even sent a notice to the Shui Clan about their day of worship today. They had never been invited to participate at all!

They stepped out of the room to look. Basalt, Lingxing, and Hei Wuji all wrinkled their brows.

They watched as Shui Guqing, Shui Yazi, and Shui Pingxi made their way over! The three heroes of the Shui Clan were all present! The one leading them was none other than the Shui Clan’s Patriarch, Shui Niao, the one others call the Seeping Water Dragon King!

…

Not far from Spirit Mountain…

A well-hidden warship was parked amid an asteroid belt.

On the command deck, the number one Dark Spiritualist Nan Shazi was gazing out into the sea of stars with mild interest, almost as if he was contemplating something.

“Oh, the Unrestricted sure are lively this time. Even that big Buddha of the Shui Clan has arrived! Including those people from before, it looks like there are enough people to choke!” Shu Yuhe laughed after listening to the advance scout’s report. “Master, do you think it could be someone on the inside trying to mess things up? A third of the whole universe’s strength has been drawn to Spirit Mountain this time!”

Nan Shazi was momentarily taken aback, stroking his beard as he mused, “The Seeping Water Dragon King has come as well? How rare! As for whether someone is secretly causing trouble, I’m almost certain that is the case! Otherwise, why would Shui Niao show up here on Spirit Mountain this time? Then there’s Qiu Xingbang; even if he really wanted to show up, there’s no reason for him to bring Duet and Han Pin.”

Shu Yuhe continued, “Master, aren’t you in the least bit worried about someone secretly trying to undermine our efforts? Obtaining the support of the Unrestricted Sect is an important part of our plan. In the event that someone has managed to snatch them away, we’d be proportionately weaker without them. After all, the Unrestricteds have the title of being the Orthodox Spiritualists!”

Nan Shazi shook his head. “Don’t be impatient. A fox will ultimately have to show his tail; let the Unrestricted Sect bear the brunt out front. We shall patiently wait for the enemy to make their move.”

Shu Yuhe nodded, “Master lives up to his name to be a master of schemes and calculations, having been waiting here all this time. I shall instruct the spy we have sent in advance to keep an eye out, and eliminate the mastermind the moment he reveals himself!”

…

11 AM passed. Xia Fei suddenly opened his eyes and stood up. He waved toward Ulan and made his way out.

Furball also seemed to abruptly wake up. He leapt up onto Xia Fei’s shoulder and blinked his eyes repeatedly, even letting out a couple of yawns.

“Is it time to act now?” Ulan asked.

Xia Fei nodded, “Yes. Now.”

The two left together, only to find the Heavenly Treasure Firm treasurer stationed at the entrance. Upon seeing Xia Fei about to leave, this old man hurriedly asked with a salute, “The miss has me waiting for you, to ask about what after tomorrow?”

The corner of Xia Fei’s smile curled slightly, “After today? There’ll be another upheaval after today! All of you should leave. There’ll be no need to establish a branch here after today.”

That fat treasurer was stunned. He did not understand what Xia Fei meant, but Suzu Treasure had instructed him to do everything Xia Fei directed, so he hurriedly bade Xia Fei farewell and ordered his men to begin packing up to leave.

—

Leaving the city, Xia Fei and Ulan soon arrived at the foot of Spirit Mountain. Xia Fei lit a cigarette as he stared at that plaque, saying softly, “The Unrestricted Soul Spirit. It is quite an imposing name.”

Ulan commented, “Yes. Fuchen had always been very proud of that. Out of all the Spiritualist sects, the history of the Unrestricteds is the longest, going back even further than the Spiritualist Association. This plaque has already stood here for countless years, a symbol of where the legacy of the Unrestricteds lies.”

Xia Fei made no indication and merely shook his head, “It is also where Fuchen’s burdens lay. A day like this has come all because he was unable to set aside his sect and his own face.”

Ulan did not understand why Xia Fei had said it like that. Actually, no one knew what exactly Xia Fei was after, and that included the person that was physically closest to him right now, Ulan.

Xia Fei suddenly turned, telling Ulan, “Here they come!”

Three figures appeared in front of him, their backs to Spirit Mountain, staring angrily at Xia Fei and Ulan.

A young man and two middle-aged men had come. The young man was Feng Jianbo and Feng Jianting’s elder brother, Feng Jianhai. The two middle-aged men were named Feng Liao and Feng Chun. Feng Jianhai had average cultivation, being merely a level 4 Soul Practitioner, but the two uncles that accompanied him were worthy to be called Peak Soul Practitioners! The father of the three Feng brothers, the present Patriarch of the Fufeng Clan, Feng Nanyan, had not shown up.

The young Feng Jianhai pointed at Xia Fei and demanded, “Are you Xia Fei?!”

Xia Fei nodded, and looked at the watch on his wrist.

Feng Liao and Feng Chun were shocked. Neither could comprehend why Xia Fei had the confidence to remain so calm, appearing so nonchalant despite their presence.

Feng Liao pointed at Xia Fei and growled, “Xia Fei! We’ve received news that you killed two of my nephews, Feng Jianbo and Feng Jianting! Was it you or not?!”

Unexpectedly, Xia Fei was still looking at his watch, lifting a finger with his opposite hand and saying to the three from the Fufeng Clan, “Take a seat and wait a moment. It’s not time yet.”

“What do you mean it’s not time?! What are you waiting for?!” Feng Chun exploded in rage.

“Uncle! Ignore him! Let’s kill him and avenge my two brothers!” Feng Jianhai yelled urgently.

Right at that moment, the sound of the second hand on Xia Fei’s watch ticked into place.

All of a sudden, the Aura around Xia Fei changed! His entire person surged with killing intent!

With a forceful tap of his feet, he charged forward, yelling, “THAT’S RIGHT! I AM XIA FEI! I WAS THE ONE WHO KILLED YOUR CLAN’S FENG JIANTING AND FENG JIANBO! I WILL ALSO BE TAKING THE LIFE OF FENG JIANHAI RIGHT NOW!”

*Squelch!*

The splatter of fresh red blossomed from Feng Jianhai’s waist. The last of the Fufeng Clan’s three brothers had been slain by Xia Fei’s hands!

When Xia Fei charged at the three men of the Fufeng Clan, Feng Chun and Feng Liao intentionally tried to protect Feng Jianhai. Xia Fei had realized that he would have a hard time extricating himself, so he circled around from the side. However, he actually gained the fatal chance to kill with this detour. Xia Fei had thrown out the hair-like Fiend Lock and wound it around Feng Jianhai’s waist, slicing the oldest scion of the Fufeng Clan in half!

“Xiao Hai!”

Feng Chun and Feng Liao let out anguished cries in unison! Watching their own nephew die right in front of their eyes was a heartbreak that nearly drove them insane!

Just as their voices left their throat, the crossblade Nirvana appeared! Cleaving from the sky, it drained away every bit of lifeforce from Feng Jianhai, not even leaving behind a corpse when it was done!

“What are you still frozen there for?! Kill them all!” Xia Fei bellowed at Ulan.

“Got it!”

Ulan grit his teeth and charged together with Xia Fei. The two of them were ultimately Spiritualists, and wielded the powerful Spirit Energy! These men from the Fufeng Clan were of course no match for them!

That was not even mentioning that Ulan had the most powerful plant, the Bittervine Sky Entangler! Xia Fei had the Holy Beast Shatterstar, and the Fiend Blade Nirvana! The Immemorial Mystical Armament Peacock Blue! The legendary sword White Dragon’s Screech, as well as Fiend Lock, Fiend Tear, and Fiend Scar, three top Fiend Soul Weapons!

If that was not enough to defeat two measly Peak Soul Practitioners, then there was no need for Xia Fei to press on with this fight!

The entirety of Xia Fei’s arsenal was thrown at his enemies!

The Feng Brothers were suddenly at a loss when facing such an explosive assault of Soul Weapons. They had not done any prior investigation of Xia Fei’s background, only hurrying over in a rush after getting the news. They had thought that the strength they had as two Peak Soul Practitioners was enough to kill Xia Fei.

It was a pity that they had no idea that the number of Peak Soul Practitioners Xia Fei had slain in this life was already more than his two hands could count!

Killing people above his level had always been a rule for Xia Fei!

*Squelch!*

*Squelch!*

Nirvana sliced them once each, instantly ending Feng Liao and Feng Chun’s lives!

Xia Fei extended his hand to retrieve Nirvana as he softly said, “I forgot to tell you people, your niece and nephew-in-law, Bell Hill and Orchid Chime, as well as their father, Rock Chime, have also died by my hands!”

Only the first minute had passed in the battle, yet the Fufeng Clan had all been wiped out!

*Bang*

Xia Fei lifted his hand and shot out a beam. He proceeded to smash the plaque with the words ‘Unrestricted Soul Spirit’ into pieces!

“Let’s go, onward to Spirit Mountain!” Xia Fei rallied Ulan.

Furball had not had his fill of fighting just now, so he followed behind Xia Fei with a snarl, but Ulan was somewhat hesitant. “Xia Fei, don’t tell me this is your plan?!”

Xia Fei did not turn around, continuing his way forward. A young Unrestricted Sect disciple that had been posted to welcome guests went pale from fright. He had no idea who Xia Fei was, only having witnessed him slay the guests from Fufeng Clan, and he had even ruined the plaque placed over Spirit Mountain’s entrance!

Calming himself down, this person spoke up, “This is Spirit Mountain! The headquarters of the Unrestricted Sect…”

Before he even finished his sentence, the sound of a sword penetrating flesh could be heard. Nirvana had appeared yet again! It cleaved the unlucky man who was standing in Xia Fei’s way!

Xia Fei sheathed his Fiendish Blade as he hissed viciously, “Unrestrict your head! You can’t even tell that I’m here to wreck this place!”

The situation was driving Ulan crazy. He had thought the always-clever Xia Fei would have concocted some scheme, but now it seemed like Xia Fei was intending to just trample over Spirit Mountain!
