The entire grand hall was illuminated as the entire star map appeared before everyone. It was completely 3D, making it appear as if Xia Fei was walking in a vast sea of stars.

This star map was covered in all sorts of colors. Xia Fei reckoned they were Radiance Crown’s way of indicating how much energy was there as well as the different types of energy, distinguishing them for easy viewing.

Wistful Clotho softly muttered, “Look. This is Radiance Crown. Ever since the Aurora Clan has existed, Radiance Crown has been the biggest secret that our clan has kept. According to my grandfather, this system was a gift from a higher being. Back when Aurora was very tyrannical, we killed many people, and saved plenty of others, as well! This was a gift that the clan received from saving someone, and it was this gift that later made the clan think that being Mr. Nice Guys wasn’t bad, and so we taught our descendants to treat people kindly from then on.”

Xia Fei was somewhat interested in the history of the Aurora Clan, but he was even more intrigued by Radiance Crown. He had no idea how many hours the expert who had created this holographic star map spent surveying the entire Alpha Universe before he or she had managed to make such a detailed map of the locations where energy had been stored across the universe. If thR task had fallen on Xia Fei’s shoulders, there was no way he would have had the patience to finish it!

Clotho paused and pointed toward a few black dots in the holographic map and said, “These are locations whose energy had long been taken away, or has dissipated as the universe changed. However, those gray spots you see are recent, and you can compare them accordingly. There are far more gray spots than black, which indicates that in recent times, someone has been crazily stealing away the stored energy across the Alpha Universe.”

Xia Fei was startled. Upon closer inspection, he confirmed that there were far more gray spots than the pure black ones. These spots of light were a color between white and gray, showing that this theft of energy had happened over a very short period of time.

Thinking about how the Dark Spiritualists were willing to sell their soul weapons at low prices, all to gather an astronomical amount of Spirit Energy in the shortest time, Xia Fei could not help but furrow his brow as he rapidly analyzed all the possible permutations and reasonings.

While in deep thought, a strange purple spot of light gradually dimmed on the holographic star map. Because of how huge the Radiance Crown star maps, there were actually not that many purple spots. This was why when one began to gradually dim, it very quickly drew Xia Fei’s attention.

“Ancestor Clotho, what are the locations indicated by purple? Why is that one gradually dimming?” Xia Fei asked, curious.

Clotho answered with squinted eyes, “I won’t lie, because of just how huge Radiance Crown is, there are still plenty of locations we aren’t clear about yet. But a purple light indicates the existence of bio-energy, and is considered to be the strongest out of the array of energies out there.”

‘Bio-energy? Does that mean an energy-type Holy Beast like Furball here?’, Xia Fei thought to himself.

He watched as Clotho swiftly magnified the huge star map. He tapped where that purple spot of light had been and muttered, “Ah, that’s the Nineteen States of Windcloud’s Jadewater City of the Serene Jadewater Clan. The location of this light is where Jadewater City is situated.”

“Serene Jadewater?!” Xia Fei was shocked.

Wistful Zaifeng thought nothing of it, “You ought to recall the Patriarch of the Serene Jadewater Clan from Spirit Mountain. His nickname was the Sleeping Water Dragon King, the Peak Soul Practitioner Shui Niao. The one you personally slew.”

Xia Fei nodded, “Of course I remember him. That old man was very formidable and hard to deal with. Do any of you know what sort of bio-energy this Jadewater City has?”

Clotho shrugged, “How could I be sure? Serene Jadewater is from the Nineteen States of Windcloud, a distinguished great clan here in Alpha. Even if we had the need, there’s no way we would dare have any designs on the energy that is under the Water Clan’s jurisdiction.”

“But someone has done just that,” Xia Fei pointed out to him.

“Perhaps it’s because you killed Shui Niao; With his death, the Water Clan is now like a headless chicken, and it is only a matter of time before they begin to decline,” Zaifeng replied.

Xia Fei rapped his knuckles on the table and said, “We can’t solve the problem just like this. I’ll need to head over to the Water Clan and see the latest developments with my own eyes.”

Zaifeng anxiously called out, “The Water Clan has a deep grudge toward you. With Shui Niao dead, that does not mean that the Water Clan is completely without strength. As the saying goes, even a skinny camel is still bigger than a horse!”

“Then there’s even more of a reason for me to head over!” Xia Fei was determined. “I want to know who did this, already having designs on the Nineteen States of Windcloud!”

The Nineteen States of Windcloud were a conglomerate of nineteen major forces in the Alpha Universe. They included the two major Spiritualist organizations, the Spiritualist Association as well as the Heavenly Might Spiritualist School, the number one assassination guild, Lone Peak Turbid Shadow, the Chaos Society, Fragment Society, Peaceful Sky Society, Cold Mountain Ice Castle, and other such entities. Each and every one of them were giants!

In Xia Fei’s eyes, this was a sign!

The Dark Spiritualists had always been making waves, but they had been dealing with unknown clans or organizations. If they were already beginning to make their move against the Nineteen States of Windcloud, that might very well mean their main assault had begun!

Besides, repeated energy theft was very unusual. Xia Fei wanted to take a look at the scene of the crime and see if these incidents were directly related to the Dark Spiritualists or not.

Xia Fei got up and said, “So it’s decided. Everyone, continue to guard Radiance Crown. Please contact me whenever there are any other strange movements.”

“Understood, but you have to be careful, “Clotho nodded.

...

About eighteen hours later, Alpha Universe, Jadewater City...

Jadewater City was huge, spanning over a hundred kilometers! Xia Fei could hear the deafening roar of flowing water outside, and the water vapor hanging in the air covered the entire city in a strange white mist.

There were four roads leading into the city, but at present, all four of these gates were shut. Xia Fei could not help but feel wary, and did not go near the city. Instead, he opted to hide in the forest outside the city.

Xia Fei lit a cigarette and muttered to himself, “Odd. It’s like Jadewater City is dead. There’s completely no signs of life inside.”

Radix thought about it and said, “Could the sound of the water be disturbing your judgment?”

Xia Fei shook his head, “Impossible. How could the sound affect me?”

Before Radix could reply, Xia Fei heard the two large trees beside him speak.

“You’re right, it’s like Jadewater City is dead.”

*Whoosh!*

To think there was someone beside him and he had not even noticed their presence!? Xia Fei instantly pulled out his Fiendish Blade Nirvana, flourishing the blade in a cross.

“Don’t panic. It’s us.”

Saying that, two men walked out from inside two ancient trees. It turned out that they had used a unique ability to meld themselves with the tree, similar to how Xia Fei’s Breath Control technique could mask his Aura, which was why Xia Fei had failed to discover them.

Without a question, this was a peak assassination technique!

To be able to conceal themselves so marvelously, they were none other than the two great assassination experts, Lone Peak Shen and Turbid Shadow Lin! They were the heads of the Wind Cloud Nineteen State’s Lone Peak Turbid Shadow!

The two did not treat Xia Fei as an outsider, and were not wearing masks, either. They showed their real faces to Xia Fei as they strolled over to Xia Fei’s sides, standing there as they stared in the direction of Jadewater City.

Lone Peak Shen was arrogant, his left eye completely ruined, so he was wearing a mechanical eye in its place. Turbid Shadow Lin was very pale, looking like he was sickly.

One-eyed Lone Peak Shen and Jade-faced Turbid Shadow Lin. There were already rumors across Alpha Universe that they were seen as the two kings of assassination! This was the first time Xia Fei had seen their true visages. The two of them, as well as their underlings had been wearing disguises the last time they met on Spirit Mountain.

With a smile, Xia Fei mentioned, “Both of you had already left before I managed to thank the two of you last time on Spirit Mountain. I would never have imagined that we would be fated to meet each other again today.”

Lone Peak Shen was silent, while Turbid Shadow Lin replied, “You can keep your thanks. To us, that was nothing more than a job. Let me ask you, why did you find your way here to Jadewater City?”

Xia Fei took a drag from his cigarette and craftily answered, “For the same reason the two of you are here.”

Turbid Shadow Lin burst into laughter. This legendary assassin laughed like he was somewhat sick, like he was experiencing some internal deficiency.Who knew just how he had managed to be ranked among the experts here in the Alpha Universe, despite his weak constitution.

Xia Fei had never been in the habit of underestimating anyone however, recognizing the strength Turbid Shadow Lin wielded given how he still managed to be recognized as an expert despite his appearance.

“A crafty man. No wonder you were chosen to be a Devil Shadow Dragoon.”

Upon mentioning the name ‘Devil Shadow Dragoon’, even the arrogant Lone Peak Shen looked at Xia Fei with a gaze filled with sympathy, making Xia Fei feel very uncomfortable. It was almost as if in their eyes, being chosen to be a Devil Shadow Dragoon was a great misfortune.

Lone Peak Shen suddenly asked, “Are you a Great Spiritualist now?”

Xia Fei nodded.

Lone Peak Shen remarked coldly, “Remarkable.”

He was never someone who spoke a lot. Strictly speaking, it was rare for him to even speak, though Xia Fei did not think anything of that. He was already used to how others would be amazed seeing his rapid rise through the levels after all these years.

“Let’s go, since none of us are outsiders, then we can all enter together to see the legendary Water Dragon Roar!” Turbid Shadow Lin proclaimed.

Xia Fei was surprised. He had no idea what this Water Dragon Roar that Turbid Shadow Lin had mentioned was about, but he did not show it on his face.

With that, Turbid Shadow Lin and Lone Peak Shen suddenly turned into cold gusts of wind and disappeared without a trace. Meanwhile, Xia Fei used his speed and Breath Control as concealment and followed their tracks into Jadewater City.

There was nothing obstructing their entry into the city. The city walls were a kilometer high and also a kilometer thick. The moment Xia Fei stepped into the city, he was immediately shocked!

There were two waterfalls criss-crossing in the shape of a cross, with a peaceful lake above and a seemingly bottomless abyss below!

The water flowed from the lake down into the abyss, and the deafening roar of water Xia Fei heard was coming from below!

This was a waterfall that was ninety-nine kilometers high! The sound and mist it created was truly a sight to behold!

So it turned out that there was no actual city inside Jadewater City. There was only water!

Four narrow metal bridges led up above the waterfall. Looking down into the abyss when atop would make people dizzy. There was a pavilion that formed the intersection to these four bridges. It seemed to be the only structure here inside Jadewater City.

*Whoosh*

Lone Peak Shen and Turbid Shadow Lin suddenly appeared, the two men standing on the railing of the metal bridge, staring down into the abyss below them.

“It’s said that Yggdragon Water Dragon Roar’s skeleton is under the waterfall. Would you be joining us or staying here?” the sickly Turbid Shadow Lin asked.

“I’ll of course join you two,” Xia Fei answered with a smile.

“Alright.”

Turbid Shadow Lin nodded, and leaped down into the boundless abyss below with Lone Peak Shen! They disappeared without a trace almost instantly!

Xia Fei took a deep breath and dove right after them head-first. He also jumped into the waterfall, but Xia Fei did not think too much about the Yggdragon skeleton that the two had talked about.

The moment when Xia Fei jumped, the sound of a thunderous roar tore through from beneath the waterfall suddenly, and following it was a glaring white light that shot up like crazy! There were also two black figures chasing after this light closely!

“A fight broke out?!” Xia Fei was startled, as Peacock Blue reared its head on his right arm! He covered the sky with an azure net!
