Chapter 973: The grand ancestor goes missing and Xia Fei’s plan.
Xia Fei was aghast!
He had never imagined that Grand Ancestor Xia Gucheng would inexplicably go missing!
“According to the grand ancestor’s instructions, once he doesn’t make contact with us for seventy-two hours, we must presume that something has happened to him. As such, I activated the White Flamingo to notify all of you to assemble; I also had the old, young, women, and infirm of the clan withdraw with the low-level warriors,” said Xia Ke sternly.
“Then what should we do?” asked Xia Fei.
Xia Ke replied, “The first objective of the White Flamingo Squad is to protect the clan’s safety, but there’s no need for you to do anything. I already had the majority of the clan retreat. The second objective is to find the person who assassinated our clan’s Godwing and kill him no matter who they are!”
“This…” Everyone frowned. Finding that Founder who had plotted against the Skywings from the shadows was not simple. They did not even know where the Thirteen Founders were, so how could they even think about killing them?
Xia Fei’s brain went to work, and he suddenly stepped forward and said, “The culprit naturally has to die, but that’s a long-term goal. Our most important task right now is to find out what exactly happened to the grand ancestor!”
Everyone nodded in agreement. Xia Ke replied, “The grand ancestor gave this order before that nobody is to search for him and that the White Flamingo Squad should simply focus on their respective tasks.”
Xia Fei waved away his words and said sternly, “When the general is abroad, he can refuse certain orders! Don’t forget that the Skywings will never abandon anybody! The grand ancestor has always upheld this principle in the past, and now that his venerable self has gone missing, we can’t give up on searching for him! This is the creed of the Skywing Clan!”
“Hear, hear!”
“That’s right! ‘Never abandon’ and ‘never give up’ have always been the rules of the Skywings! Even if we must dig up the earth, we will find the grand ancestor!”
Everyone agreed to Xia Fei’s proposal. The strongest of them, Xia Xiang, softly said, “We naturally need to find the grand ancestor, but the universe is so vast. Where will we start?”
“The Domain of Gods!” Xia Fei’s eyes chilled. “Since the grand ancestor went missing in the Domain of Gods, we will start there.”
Xia Ke was stunned, saying in surprise, “Only Law Gods are permitted to enter and exit the Domain of Gods, and the place is heavily guarded. Also, All-god Mountain and the Palace of Gods only permit Superior Law Gods. You won’t be able to get in.”
He had barely spoken when Xia Fei firmly said, “Who said we must go in? We’ll just demand that they hand over the grand ancestor! If they don’t, we’ll flip the place upside down!”
Arrogant!
Supremely arrogant!
All the Law Gods present were stunned by Xia Fei’s proposal to flip over the Palace of Gods, their blood beginning to seethe!
“Everyone, I lack talent, so I’m wiling to go with Xia Ke to the Palace of Gods to demand that they hand back the grand ancestor. If all of you trust me, then you can entrust this task to me,” said Xia Fei, his face cool and aloof.
The five Superior Law Gods communicated with one another through their eyes for a while. Ultimately, Xia Xiang asked, “Are you confident that you can get the Palace of Gods to hand over the grand ancestor?”
“No,” replied Xia Fei, hiding nothing, “but since the Skywings will have to leave the Law Realm eventually, if they don’t hand him over, we’ll just trash the Domain of Gods and screw them over!”
Though his words were a little vulgar, his burning desire to get back Xia Gucheng and his resolve to achieve his goal was obvious to all!
This was truly a crazy and audacious decision. Everyone looked at him with blazing eyes.
After a short pause, Xia Fei went on. “For many years now, the Skywings have always been under the wing of the grand ancestor. Now that the grand ancestor is in trouble, we juniors must stand tall and step forward! Remember those words displayed in the grand ancestor’s study.
“‘Wherever the fiendish blade points, gods and demons die!’ No matter who the enemy is, anyone who dares to touch the members of the Skywing Clan will have their ancestral grave ransacked! This is the way of the Skywing Clan! The Skywings’ reason is to be unreasonable!”
Although this line about being unreasonable had been added by Xia Fei, it struck a cord in everyone’s heart. All of them felt the flames of rage burning in their bellies, the veins on their foreheads bulging!
“Screw their mothers!”
“Xia Fei’s right. No matter how many of them there are, anyone who dares to touch our grand ancestor shall die!”
“The grand ancestor has taken care of us for so many years; it’s our turn to step forward and take some of the load!”
“Let’s move! Xia Ke, I know that the clan also has a Shadow Division. Mobilize all of our strength to overturn the Palace of Gods!”
The five Superior Law Gods exploded with killing intent!
Their five pairs of reddened eyes erupted with sharp lights!
Their rage was an unstoppable flood!
Even Xia Ke could not help but get excited, his hands trembling as he considered how to take out all of the Skywing Clan’s hidden cards and battle to the death with the Palace of Gods!
At this moment, Xia Fei suddenly turned calm and collected as he sternly said, “Everyone, in order to avoid the most complicated situation, we must be polite at first before eventually taking up arms!”
“Polite? You’re saying that we need to be polite? Let’s just directly screw them over!” shouted the irascible Xia Jing.
Xia Fei made his characteristic smile, which was most eerie and vicious!
…
The Domain of Gods, the number-one region of the God Race. There was no entry without invitation, and rudeness was not tolerated here!
It was not enclosed by walls, only a Law of Space seal. Unless one used offensive methods, one could only get in through the Domain of Gods’ outer hall.
It was afternoon, and there were quite a few people gathered in the outer hall. This was normally when most of the Superior Law Gods returned to their clans. Even if they did not go home, they would still come here to pick up intelligence reports from their clans.
The vast majority of those who could enter the Palace of Gods were patriarchs of major clans, so getting reports for the clans was still very important. It was also a habit developed over many years, and as communication devices could not be used in the Domain of Gods, some secret intelligence reports had to be made face-to-face.
At this moment, two people came in from outside, and they members of the Skywing Clan. These two were none other than Xia Fei and Xia Ke. This was his first time so close to the Domain of Gods; Xia Fei was very curious and took a few extra looks at this enormous place. There was nothing strange about the expression on his face, and he acted very politely.
Xia Helin and the other Law Gods were all waiting outside and could not come in. After all, they were not present in the registers of the Law Realm. No one knew that besides Xia Gucheng, the Skywings had five more Superior Law Gods!
As Xia Ke and Xia Fei went up to the reception area, a warrior standing inside immediately recognized Xia Ke and respectfully bowed. “So it’s the chief steward of the Skywing Clan. I presume that you wish to meet your patriarch?”
Xia Ke nodded, saying nothing. He was not as good of an actor as Xia Fei. Putting aside his cold demeanor, his eyes brimmed with killing intent, which made the warrior in charge tremble in fear. This was all due to the infamy of the Demon-sealing Fiendish Blade. Anyone who encountered a Skywing had to show some respect, for once these madmen went crazy, no one would be having any fun.
“Chief steward, I’m afraid that you will have to be disappointed again. Your patriarch is discussing important matters in the Palace of Gods and doesn’t have the time to meet you.” The warrior nodded and bowed as he spoke. He even poured tea for Xia Fei and Xia Ke.
As he poured tea, he kept shooting glances at Xia Fei, wondering why Chief Steward Xia Ke had brought over someone so young. He seemed so weak, too, his body devoid of energy pulses, as if he were just an ordinary person.
Xia Ke was not surprised by these words, and he glanced over at Xia Fei. After all, it was Xia Fei’s idea to come to the outer hall of the Domain of Gods, so Xia Ke did not know what the other was planning to do.
Xia Fei carefreely lit himself a cigarette and asked lightly, “Are these the words of our grand ancestor, or yours?”
It mattered not that the warrior did not know who Xia Fei was. The fact that Xia Fei was a Skywing meant that he could not be treated rudely. He hastily smiled and replied, “What are you saying, sir? How would I dare to fabricate the words of those above? This is naturally a message sent from the Palace of Gods.”
“Then my clan’s grand ancestor is in the Palace of Gods right now?” asked Xia Fei, intentionally raising his voice.
“Yes, yes. He’s in the middle of an important discussion with the other God Kings.”
*Smack!*
As he spoke, Xia Fei slapped the warrior so hard that he saw stars!
They said that it was hard to strike a smiling face, but Xia Fei had done exactly that!
“Nonsense! Who do you think you are?! You dared to fabricate my grand ancestor’s words?! If you say one more lie, I’ll crush you!” Xia Fei glared as he unleashed all his inner demon into this outer hall, which symbolized the majesty of the Domain of Gods!
In this God Race place where it was impossible to throw a tantrum, Xia Fei threw one!
Moreover, this tantrum was not one that would ever stop!
Xia Fei had come today for the express purpose of causing a ruckus in the Domain of Gods!
Xia Fei’s slap was rather vicious, dizzying the warrior and knocking out several of his teeth.
*Smack!*
Xia Fei did not let him go, raising him up by the neck and shouting, “Where is the manager of the outer hall?! Get that scoundrel out here right now!”
This was a peak hour for the outer hall, so there were many people around, including patriarchs of various clans. Xia Fei making a scene instantly drew the attention of countless spectators.
Xia Ke had not expected Xia Fei to start off so strongly, but he could only stand in confusion next to the other!
Everyone actually could not stand Xia Fei’s overbearing actions, but the Skywing name made it so that no one dared to speak for fear of provoking these madmen of the Law Realm.
*Smack smack smack!*
A small-eyed, middle-aged man hurried over, and when he saw the furious form of Xia Fei, he froze. He then frowned and asked, “Not even the Demon-sealing Fiendish Blade can do whatever they want in the outer hall of the Domain of Gods! How has my subordinate offended you?”
These were rather tough words… Xia Fei guessed that this man had some background and was exactly who he was looking for!
“Hit him? This person dared to lie about the will of my grand ancestor; it’ll even be completely justified if I kill him!” Xia Fei glared as he unreasonably shot back!
The middle-aged man was about to speak again; alas, Xia Fei did not give him the chance.
Raising his free arm, Xia Fei pointed at the manager and said, “You go and tell this to the Palace of Gods: Something big has happened in the Skywing Clan! I need to see the patriarch! It’s a matter of utmost importance! If you try and delay my clan’s business, I’ll kill your entire family!”
