Chapter 1321: Another Meeting with Young Master Hai
After leaving the outer peak, Zhao Hui came to Black Devil Peak’s exchange zone.
The size of a five-star faction’s exchange zone was tantamount to the territory of a four-star faction: a small country in itself. This exchange zone was meant solely for the use of Black Devil Peak’s disciples, divided into areas for the outer peak disciples and inner peak disciples. For this reason, the place was packed with people.
“I’m very familiar with this place. Brother Zhao, if there’s anything you need, please ask!” True God Cloudbreaker said with a smile.
Zhao Hui had come here to gather information, but with True God Cloudbreaker following him, moving around was rather inconvenient. Thus, Zhao Hui just casually looked around to familiarize himself with the area. When he was free, he could come back again.
To his surprise, Zhao Hui noticed that there were quite a few tools and instruments containing the technology of the Heaven’s Legacy Race to be found in Black Devil Peak’s exchange zone.
Perhaps I might be able to actually find something here, Zhao Hui quietly noted to himself.
The place where the little thieving cat was being hidden wasn’t very far from the territory of Black Devil Peak. And Black Devil Peak was one of the five-star factions of the Antian Zone, a place where dragons mixed with snakes, good people with hoodlums. It was definitely possible to gather some information on the mysterious faction backing Ancient God Profound Devil’s group.
“Brother Cloudbreaker, I’m going back to the main peak to see how the negotiations between the upper echelons of our two factions are going.” Zhao Hui bid farewell and began to head to Black Devil Peak’s main mountain.
“This kid...! A mere Rank Three True God, of which there are countless among the inner disciples of the Spiritual Race, can actually go in and out of the main peak as he pleases!” True God Cloudbreaker privately grumbled once Zhao Hui was gone.
Only core disciples were permitted to go in and out of the main peak, and he did not have this right. However, the inner disciples of the Spiritual Race could traverse the core area of Black Devil Peak as they pleased. This made him extremely unhappy and rather jealous.
Zhao Hui headed straight for Black Devil Peak’s main peak, but before Zhao Hui could approach the main hall, he saw both side’s upper echelons fly out.
“My juniors in Black Devil Peak have long heard of the supreme might of the Spiritual Race’s geniuses. Let’s have them exchange some pointers with the disciples of the Spiritual Race,” the demon-faced elder of Black Devil Peak said with a smile.
“You’re too kind! But in terms of pure combat strength, the disciples of the Spiritual Race are no match for the disciples of Black Devil Peak,” the silver-haired old lady from the Spiritual Race calmly replied.
If not for the fact that Black Devil Peak’s upper echelon members had requested this over and over again, she would have never agreed to this exchange of pointers. This was because the four Ancient Gods the Spiritual Race had brought were not the strongest Ancient God disciples they had.
“The Ancient God disciples of the Spiritual Race that came this time are only those who happened to take the mission. Good Sirs of the Black Devil Peak, please don’t take it too seriously!” Ancient God Floating Spirit immediately said, doing his best to lower the expectations for the Spiritual Race disciples.
It seems like the two factions aren’t that friendly after all, Zhao Hui quietly noted.
The Ancient Gods had long ago noticed his arrival, but the Ancient God upper echelon members could hardly care about some trifling Rank Three True God.
Zhao Hui silently followed at the back of the group to see what was going on.
“Zhao Feng, if the Spiritual Race is no match in this bout, can you go out?” Ancient God Floating Spirit messaged.
Zhao Feng had exhibited his power in the gambling match between the two races. In this instructive bout between these two factions, Black Devil Peak would probably have the slight advantage anyway, but if Black Devil Peak was unreasonable and sent its powerful geniuses to humiliate the Spiritual Race disciples, Ancient God Floating Spirit hoped that Zhao Feng could take action to salvage the situation.
“Wasn’t the Spiritual Race on friendly terms with Black Devil Peak? How did things turn out like this?” Zhao Feng asked in return.
“No faction is completely united, and factions like Black Devil Peak are even more divided than usual....” Ancient God Floating Spirit slowly began to explain the situation to Zhao Feng.
As it turned out, Black Devil Peak was rife with fierce internal conflicts. There were currently two powerful parties in Black Devil Peak, and only one of them was on good terms with the Spiritual Race. This party was represented by Elder Tao. The other party’s representative was the demon-faced elder.
The two parties struggled against each other as they vied for the ultimate authority over Black Devil Peak. Elder Tao’s party was using the commercial dealings with the Spiritual Race to exchange for resources needed to increase the strength of the entire faction. Meanwhile, the other party would definitely try to interfere, doing their utmost to break down the relationship between the two sides. However, they didn’t want to overdo it, or else they would offend the Spiritual Race too deeply and unleash even worse consequences.
“This means that the party the demon-faced elder belongs to wants to use this method to humiliate the Spiritual Race and cause the Spiritual Race to gradually lose its good impression of Black Devil Peak.” Zhao Feng quickly understood the reason for this incident.
He had no plans of revealing himself. This place was a five-star faction of the Antian Zone. Zhao Feng could not expose his identity here. The moment he did, the faction backing Ancient God Profound Devil would immediately find out. Not only would his mission to retrieve the little thieving cat fail, Zhao Feng would also be in great danger.
The upper echelons of the two factions quickly arrived in a small and independent dimension. Inside this dimension was a land of precipitous mountains and towering trees.
“This is the place. There’s no area marked out for fighting or any boundary domain. You can fight as you please!” The demon-faced elder heartily laughed.
“Which disciples of Black Devil Peak will be fighting?” the silver-haired old lady asked. She knew of all the well-known geniuses of Black Devil Peak.
Bzzz! Hwoom!
At this moment, a spatial disturbance appeared next to the group. A moment later, a handsome and bewitching youth with starry eyes emerged.
“It’s him?” Zhao Hui was stunned.
This youth was none other than the Young Master Hai who had lost to Zhao Feng in the gambling match during the God Eye Assembly.
Zhao Feng knew that, if True God Cloudbreaker was here, Young Master Hai obviously had to be here as well, but he had never imagined that the two of them would have a chance to meet.
“My respects to the seniors of the Spiritual Race.” Young Master Hai faintly smiled and bowed.
“So, it was the youth with Star Eyes of Black Devil Peak, Young Master Hai.” The silver-haired woman had heard a little about him.
Of course, this was not because Young Master Hai was incredibly strong, but because of his unique pair of eyes. They were extremely powerful, comparable to those of the descendants of the Eight Great God Eyes.
In short, Young Master Hai was not one of the best Ancient God disciples of Black Devil Peak, but he also wasn’t the worst.
“Jin Kun, you go!” The silver-haired old lady picked out who would go.
Of the four Spiritual Race Ancient God disciples, only Jin Kun had the Spiritual Race bloodline. The Spiritual Race bloodline could effectively suppress the power of Young Master Hai’s eye-bloodline.
“Yes!” Jin Kun immediately stepped forward.
He had also heard of Young Master Hai before, but their strengths were probably comparable. If he could defeat Young Master Hai and win some glory for the Spiritual Race, he would definitely receive contribution points upon his return.
“Please instruct me!” Young Master Hai gave an evil smile and then flew off into the distance.
Jin Kun charged out, and the two didn’t fly very far before they began to battle.
“Star Flash!” Young Master Hai used the flying skill that he was so proud of, and his body was shrouded in a starry mist as he began to rapidly fly through the air.
“How fast! But I don’t need to chase him.” Jin Kun stood his ground, a white luster on his body. It was clear that he cultivated some kind of high-level body-refining art.
The Spiritual Race bloodline was skilled in defense, and together with Jin Kun’s body-refining art, ordinary Ancient Gods would be incapable of wounding him. Thus, he boldly stood his ground and waited for Young Master Hai to attack him.
“Celestial Star Explosion!” Young Master Hai activated his Star Eyes and unleashed a dazzling beam of starlight.
Meanwhile, a crescent moon bow appeared in his hand. This was a high-quality divine weapon that worked extremely well with his Star Intent to exhibit enormous amounts of power.
Boom! Bang! Crash!
The world exploded while the earth cracked and groaned.
“Young Master Hai seems to be skilled in speed and has fierce attacks, while Jin Kun seems to have made further progress in his Divine Spiritual Jade Body. Together with the Spiritual Race bloodline, his defense should be like an impregnable fortress!” A look of praise appeared on the Spiritual Race’s black-clothed Ancient God Elder. Jin Kun was much stronger than they had thought him to be.
“Black Devil Peak’s Young Master Hai is also quite extraordinary to be able to use Star Intent at this level....”
Although Jin Kun’s strength was unexpected, Young Master Hai could still not be underestimated. The result of this bout was probably fifty-fifty. Winning would be fine, but a defeat would not be too one-sided.
“That’s too much praise! The Spiritual Race is worthy of its top-twenty rank. It’s able to suppress Young Master Hai’s Star Eyes to this state.” Despite the demon-faced elder’s words, he was not worried in the slightest.
Young Master Hai has gotten even stronger! Zhao Hui’s eyes dimmed.
Zhao Feng had fought Young Master Hai before. At the time, Zhao Feng needed to use spacetime eye-bloodline techniques to defeat him.
Young Master Hai was even stronger now, and he fought this battle with skill and ease. He was not using his full strength but was seemingly looking for an opportunity.
Just as expected, after some time had passed, Jin Kun began to tire out.
Star Intent was an Intent that combined explosive aggression and extreme speed in one package. It was much stronger than ordinary Intents.
The upper echelon members of the Spiritual Race gradually began to grimace.
“Earthshaking Nova!” At a certain moment, Young Master Hai suddenly unleashed a powerful star eye-bloodline technique.
Young Master Hai became a massive star on the verge of destruction, approaching Jin Kun far faster than he could react.
Boom! Bang!
The incredibly vast energy of a star impacted against Jin Kun’s defensive Divine Power.
What a powerful energy! Jin Kun sensed danger and immediately used the Spiritual Race’s secret bloodline technique to reduce his injuries.
“Haha! You lose!” Suddenly, Jin Kun heard a voice behind him.
Young Master Hai poured the energy of his Star Eyes into the crescent moon bow and unleashed a dazzling arrow of starlight, which tore through Jin Kun’s defenses and struck him.
Boom! Bang!
Jin Kun’s body crashed down, creating a massive crater in the ground.
“It seems like it really is as Ancient God Floating Spirit said; the disciples the Spiritual Race brought were just randomly selected.” The demon-faced elder appeared slightly smug.
The upper echelon members of the Spiritual Race had dour expressions. Jin Kun had lost too quickly, and Young Master Hai was practically unscathed. This was a completely one-sided battle. And it was a disciple with the Spiritual Race bloodline that had lost, making it even more embarrassing.
“Zhao Feng!” Ancient God Floating Spirit couldn’t help but glance at Zhao Hui, hoping that Zhao Feng would show himself. Zhao Feng had a high-level eye-bloodline, so it probably wouldn’t be difficult for him to defeat Young Master Hai.
“Mm? Could this youth favored by Ancient God Floating Spirit be the true genius of the Spiritual Race?” The demon-faced elder gave a wicked smile as he looked at Zhao Hui.
“Why not have a Rank Three disciple of my Black Devil Peak have an instructive bout with this young talent of the Spiritual Race?” the demon-faced elder asked, a jeering tone to his voice.
The upper echelon of the Spiritual Race did not reply. Zhao Hui was just some nobody inner disciple. Meanwhile, if Black Devil Peak sent a Rank Three True God, they would undoubtedly send one of its best. Zhao Hui’s defeat was certain.
But to their surprise, the taciturn Zhao Hui suddenly spoke up; “Then this junior will show his incompetence.”
Zhao Hui faintly smiled as he accepted the challenge.
He was just thinking about how to refuse Ancient God Floating Spirit’s request. After all, the man had treated him rather well. However, this demon-faced elder was only sending a Rank Three True God to fight him. If that was the case, Zhao Feng didn’t need to refuse Ancient God Floating Spirit because he could go out to fight while still keeping his identity hidden. There was no reason not to accept.
