*Boom!*

A pale white hand reached out from the ground, not even a hundred meters away from Xia Fei. An elderly man soon climbed out from beneath it, looking somewhat haggard, his clothes in tatters.

Xia Fei’s hiding spot was right beside three dunes that looked very much like barrows. It was rare to see a person come crawling out from the barrow without any warning whatsoever, and Xia Fei tensed up as he watched it happen.

The wind billowed loudly, as this elderly man in tatters raised a fist up to the sky and yelled loudly up at the skies, “You want to kill me? You’re all far too early for that!”

Xia Fei lifted his head up and only saw just starlight. There was no enemy trying to kill the elderly man, so Xia Fei had no idea what nonsense the fellow was spouting.

From the way he was dressed, this person was definitely not a Neophyte Dragoon from any of the Legions. Though his clothes were already torn, Xia Fei could still tell that they had been made of the highest quality, so the old man must have been a person of stature.

“How did this person get in? Wasn’t the battleground of the evaluation of the Dragoons sealed off earlier?” Radix asked curiously.

Xia Fei shook his head, “I don’t know either, but perhaps he was here even before that, and the sealing of the battlefield has trapped him in here together with us, as well.”

Xia Fei was in a very strange position. He was in a place of stealth on this battlefield, which was no different from a bug in a game. Anyone who entered this space would blend in with the surroundings, making it impossible for anyone to make out his presence.

This elderly man looked to be exhausted, planting his butt down heavily on the ground, his breathing ragged and labored. He looked like he had just returned from the dead.

*Rumble!*

The changes came fast, as there was another abrupt development to the situation!

There was an additional mass of burning flames in the sky, like a blazing meteor that had penetrated through the atmosphere. It was just that this meteor was not passing through the atmosphere, but through the protective barrier erected over the Dragoon Evaluation Battlefield!

It was a shocking scene! That blazing meteor had smashed through the protective barrier that the distinguished Dragoons had in place!

*Boom!*

The meteor’s impact point was right in Xia Fei’s vicinity. Before he could even understand what was happening, he saw the scene before him transform into that of a direct clash!

The Auras from four masked individuals were directly confronting that elderly man who had crawled out from the barrow, almost as if a great battle was about to unfold!

Xia Fei was stunned!

That is because the four beings he saw in front of him were none other than the Soul Familiars of the Four Great Sky Devils, the Wing Gale Sea Calamity!

Evidently they had been hunting this old man, and they had chased him all the way to the Dragoon’s Evaluation Battlefield!

“Wang Dingtian, to think you had learned the matter-type art, Sky-Splitting Escape! To traverse through the stars with matter, you’ve really opened up the eyes of us brothers today! Unfortunately, Lord Paletooth had specifically researched that sort of concealment art that could move across galaxies, so there’s nowhere left for you to run!” The one speaking was Wing, the Soul Familiar of the Broken Wing Sky Devil Paletooth!

The old man called Wang Dingtian gritted his teeth, “Hmph! This here is one of the territories belonging to the Dragoons. As long as I make the call, the Dragoon Legions would send their men out here! When that time comes, even if you’re the Soul Familiars of the Sky Devils, there’s nowhere for you to run, either!”

Letting out a mirthless laugh was the Soul Familiar of the Gale Sky Devil, Medicinal Cauldron Prince, who remarked, “Fool. Don’t think I have no knowledge about this. While it’s true that we’re on the Evaluation Battlefield of the Dragoons, no one could barge into this place without being a being of our caliber within the next twenty-four hours! After all, this place is something erected during the age of the Hero Alliance!

“Right now, there are only that handful of undying old monsters, aside from the Five Ancient Apexes, who are qualified to exchange blows with us. I refuse to believe the Five Ancient Apexes will help you… Isn’t it far more likely they will kill you?! Hand over the Ancient Orchis Immortalis Scriptures to us! Otherwise, we’ll really strike to kill!”

Wang Dingtian was startled and answered, “The Ancient Orchis Immortalis Scriptures are a treasure handed down from my ancestors! I’d rather die than hand it over to outsiders!”

“Nonsense!” The Medicinal Cauldron Prince’s Soul Familiar lashed out. “Had it not been for my master leaving behind his metal book, could your clan have created the Scriptures upon the basis of the Law of Life?! That metal book belongs to us! The Ancient Orchis Immortalis Scriptures is also ours!”

Xia Fei could not help but be startled after hearing this. Was the Ancient Orchis Immortalis Scriptures a derivation of the Law of Life?

Xia Fei knew the Law of Life all too well. There had been but one scroll of it in the Law Realm, and it had been passed down to old demon Oro’s hands. It was the very law that Avril was cultivating right now.

However, there was a flaw to the Law of Life, and that was how it would reduce one’s potential once you cultivated it. It was comparable to a warrior who would find themselves stagnating in the Founder tier after learning the Law of Life, despite originally having an Annihilator-tier potential.

Furthermore, there were plenty of power-types who could not learn the Law Of Life. Old Oro had the Law of Life hidden for many years, and he did not cultivate it himself, which went to show that there were quite a few side effects to learning it.

Avril was not a warrior, and did not need to fight. That was why Xia Fei was at ease letting her cultivate it and lengthening her lifespan.

Wang Dingtian’s Ancient Orchis Immortalis Scriptures were a derivation of the Law of Life, but he did not know if there would be any difference from the version of the Law of Life that had made its way to the Law Realm.

From what the four Soul Familiars were saying, the Ancient Orchis Immortalis had been extracted from the metal book. It was the life’s work of the Medicinal Cauldron Prince, and it sounded like it was very impressive.

With a decisive swing of one arm, Wing, the Soul Familiar of the Broken Wing Sky Devil Paletooth, yelled, “Enough of your nonsense! We don’t give a damn about your dogshit Immortalis Scripture. What we want is the final part of the scroll, where a portion of the content of Lord Medicinal Cauldron Prince were copied! Hand over the last scroll and we’ll spare your life!

Wang Dingtian rolled his eyes. It was apparent that this elderly man was quite wily.

“Hmph! If that’s what you all want, then that’s precisely what I won’t give it to you! I’ll be honest, the entire metal book is actually in my hands! I’ll destroy it by my own hands if I feel like it!” Wang Dingtian threatened them.

The four Soul Familiars burst into laughter after hearing this. Gale scoffed, “If you had the book in the first place, would there even be a need for us brothers to chase you all the way out here?”

His gaze turned cold as he continued, “Lord Medicinal Cauldron Prince penned the metal book by his own hands before departing, and to think the people of your clan would actually search for it just based on having met Medicinal Cauldron Prince once! Our lord thought your clan was one of the more outstanding ones from among the humans, a cut above the rest. We know very well that he reluctantly handed over a scroll regarding the Law of Life to you.”

Wang Dingtian patted his head and self-deprecatingly mused, “I seem to have bragged a bit too much. I seem to have forgotten that you four are the Soul Familiars of the Four Great Sky Devils, so of course there are plenty of details that you’re aware of.”

The elderly man Wang Dingtian appeared to be an optimist, however, and he actually managed to muster out a laugh.

Sweeping his gaze across the four, Wang Dingtian calmly asked, “So that means that the metal book of the Medicinal Cauldron Prince is really gone?! Even you four haven’t been able to find it? The four Great Sky Devils each left their own unique legacies behind, yet why is it only the Medicinal Cauldron Prince’s that has gone missing? Have none of you figured that out yet?!”

The four were shocked, as they asked in unison, “Could you know the reason?!”

Wang Dingtian puffed out his chest and let out a hearty laugh, “Of course… I don’t!”

*Whoosh!*

Wang Dingtian was truly crafty enough. He had asked a really big question, and distracted the four Soul Familiars. In the end, it had all just been psychological warfare; He was planning to capitalize in that moment when Wing Gale Sea Calamity were lax and unprepared to flee!

“Grab a hold of him! Sky-Splitting Escape could only be used once, so there’s no way he can run off again!”

“This person is just as crafty as his ancestor! Let’s just kill him!”

Wing Gale Sea Calamity bristled as they let out yells and gave chase!

Xia Fei contemplated that for a while, before deciding to follow and take a look. He used his speed and Breath Control technique to keep a safe distance from the pursuers, doing his best not to let any of the men discover him.

Without a doubt, the Four Great Soul Familiars had yet to locate the Medicinal Cauldron Prince’s metal book. It was almost as if they were very interested in this book of absolute learning. They were unwilling to let go of even a scroll that concerned only a part of the book.

Before coming together, they had forced their way into the Eighth Universe. Anyone could tell they deemed that there was no price too high they had to pay just to get their hands on that metal book!

*Boom!*

The four Familiars needed only one attack to kill Wang Dingtian!

From afar, Xia Fei stared at the four figures like they were deities that had descended to the mortal realm. They came in from different angles and by the time these figures parted, Wang Dingtian was already left torn into shreds!

What swift speed and impeccable coordination between the four! It was a practically flawless display of strength!

Xia Fei was shocked!

It turned out that Wand Dingtian had fled before, not because he was strong, but because these four Soul Familiars did not plan to kill him off!

The moment they made the decision to go for the kill, they were able to slay the peak war god in an instant!

All of a sudden, Xia Fei could feel a burning glare being trained on him. He quickly ducked to the side as a black figure who moved at a speed even greater than Xia Fei had already zoomed over. This figure did not attack, but instead forced Xia Fei into a corner.

It had to be stated that Xia Fei’s speed was thirty million meters per second. Only a max level speedster could achieve a speed even greater than Xia Fei’s!

With one hand on the ground, Xia Fei adopted a crouched posture that kept his frame low to the sand.

The individual who had instantly forced Xia Fei into a corner was not an outsider, but Broken Wing Sky Devil Paletooth’s Soul Familiar, Wing!

Pursing his lips, Wing stared at Xia Fei, “Why is it you again? Where were you hiding just now? To think I did not discover your presence nearby…”

Xia Fei remained silent. He had yet to determine if the four great Soul Familiars were friends or foes just yet, and with how Wing was a warrior who moved at an even greater speed than he did, Xia Fei had to give 120% of his concentration to this encounter.

Speed was the sharpest weapon. Xia Fei was well aware of this fact as a warrior of speed, and what it meant to possess a speed even greater than his own. Sure enough, Wing lived up to his name as Paletooth’s Soul Familiar. Xia Fei could vaguely feel that Wing might very well be even faster than Grand Ancestor Xia Gucheng!

It was at this moment in his thoughts that he heard Gale shout from afar, “I found it! That old man actually had the Ancient Orchis Immortalis Scripture on him! Let’s go!”

Wing shook his head, mumbling to himself, “He should have just handed it over from the beginning and this whole matter would have been settled. This Wang Dingtian sure is someone who valued the material over his own life.”

He turned to Xia Fei and flashed a strange smile, “What are you so nervous for? It’s not like we’re here to kill you.”

Xia Fei asked gravely, “Aren’t you afraid that I’ll spread the word that the four of you were the ones who killed Wang Dingtian?”

Gale burst out in laughter, “Do you even know who Wang Dingtian is? He is just like the Chu Clan of God’s Eden, just someone the Annihilators abandoned. The Five Ancient Apexes would be glad to hear that he has died, since that means one less rival for them.”

Xia Fei was quiet for a good while. Xia Fei knew who the Five Ancient Apexes was: they were the warriors who were still alive from the Hero Alliance of yore.

It was written in the history books that the entire Hero Alliance was wiped out due to the Fiend’s betrayal during the decisive battle against the Megadragons!

However, Chu Jingfeng, someone familiar with the inside story, had told Xia Fei that only the frontline warriors of the Hero Alliance had met their demise that day. Several of those working on logistics who had seen no frontline action managed to survive, and they were god-like experts!

The four Soul Familiars had said that Wang Dingtian was a burden to the Five Ancient Apexes, and now that person had been slain by the hands of the four Soul Familiars with hardly any fanfare?! Were the four Soul Familiars too powerful, or was Wang Dingtian just an empty name?!

Gale swept his gaze across the surroundings. The Dragoon Evaluation had only just begun, and there was no one around beside Xia Fei.

Smiling, Gale told Xia Fei, “Just like Wang Dingtian, we’re not killing you because we don’t wish to do so! Remember, if there comes a day where you interfere in our business, even if you’re a Fiend, you’ll also suffer the same fate!”
