Chapter 1077: Killing One Another

Translator: Exodus TalesEditor: Exodus Tales

“Li Jindou, what’s going on here?!” After Ding Qingrui finished looking at the item Suzu Treasure had taken out, he turned pale and questioned Li Jindou in a loud voice.

This item was a recording of the conversation between Li Jindou and Lazaha on the day when they colluded to bring down the Aurora Clan.

As colleagues, Ding Qingrui often affectionately called Li Jindou ‘Old Li’, but today, he had called the other by his full name, clearly drawing a line between them.

Not just Ding Qingrui. Tong Duoduo, the other member of the team, also shot Li Jindou a hostile gaze.

Li Jindou began to sweat. Though he wanted to explain, no words would come out of his mouth. After all, this evidence was absolutely authentic, and there was no way he could claim that he was unrelated to it.

“By colluding with outsiders, you’ve completely humiliated Chaos Society!” Ding Qingrui thunderously said. “Somebody, bring Li Jindou back to the ship! Without my order, no one is allowed to approach him!”

Li Jindou, who had gone very pale in the face at this point, challenged, “Ding Qingrui, even if you’re the team leader, you don’t have the authority to put me under house arrest, yes?”

“Nonsense!” The old-fashioned Ding Qingrui was furious that Li Jindou had broken the rules of Chaos Society and cursed at him.

“Team member? I’m stripping you of your status as a team member! I don’t have the authority? Once I report back to headquarters, just see if I don’t have the authority!”

LiJindou gritted his teeth, secretly cursing Ding Qingrui for his viciousness.

In truth, Ding Qingrui was willing to be so ruthless in dealing with Li Jindou not because he had broken the rules but because Suzu Treasure was sitting across from him, and this lady’s will was her Spiritualist of Healing backer’s will!

If a mysterious Spiritualist of Healing had not been watching from the shadows, the crime of Li Jindou colluding with Lazaha to bring down the Aurora Clan would have at most resulted in Li Jindou being handled through internal measures, perhaps being sent to some remote branch to weather the storm.

However, today was different. The evidence had been provided by none other than that mysterious Spiritualist. Clearly, he was applying pressure to Chaos Society, forcing them to deal with Li Jindou and Lazaha!

‘Who was more important, Li Jindou or a legendary Spiritualist of Healing? Ding Qingrui knew the answer, as did all the bigshots of Chaos Society, and so did the entire Alpha Universe!

Upon thinking of this, Ding Qingrui made up his mind to put on a show for that Spiritualist. Moreover, Li Jindou was part of his team, and so he had also failed in his duty by allowing the other to collude with an outsider without him noticing it. If he handled this poorly, his superiors might decide to

dispose of them together. Thus, Ding Qingrui was anxious to turn against Li Jindou.

Li Jindou quickly understood the reason. With a Spiritualist of Healing watching, if he were in Ding Qingrui’s position, he would probably be even more brutal. After all, they could not afford to offend Spiritualists.

Coldly laughing, Li Jindou stood up and followed two Chaos Society warriors out.

suddenly, he thrust out his hands and released two soul arts, instantly killing the two warriors. After which, he disappeared.

The people out in the front hall still did not know what was going on. They only saw Li Jindou rushing in and grabbing the confused Lazaha. Following all that, the people of Chaos Society began to panic.

Ina narrow alley several blocks away from Chaos Society, Lazaha looked with a touch of uncertainty at Li Jindou.

“Grand Ancestor, what happened” asked Lazaha frantically.

“We were discovered. Our conversation that night was all recorded, and Ding Qingrui has gotten hold of evidence.” Li Jindou gnashed his teeth as he spoke grimly.

Lazaha felt dizzy. That night, not only did they discuss how they would get rid of the Aurora Clan, they also discussed other matters, which could not come to light. If that video ever got published, the Laz Clan would be finished!

“Uncle Li, what do we do now? You took so much money from me, so you must have an idea, right?!” asked Lazaha in a panic.

Li Jindou went pale, and he slapped Lazaha on the face as he angrily said, “If not for your idiocy, you think I’d fall this far?! For you to have been secretly recorded in your own home, what’re you doing as patriarch?!”

Lazaha was no pushover. He held his cheek and replied coldly, “Don’t put all the blame on me. You’re so formidable, so why didn’t you realize anything? Maybe you’re working together with the enemies to trick me?!”

Li Jindou had thoroughly been angered by the other at this point. Lazaha was actually suspecting him?

*Smack Smack!*

He slapped the other two more times and said angrily, “You ignorant buffoon! What sort of status do you have, and what sort of status do I have?! You think I tried framing you? Think with that pig head of yours! Do you think that you’re worth it?!”

‘The enraged Li Jindou once more moved to strike the other, and in his panic, Lazaha pushed him. There was nothing in his hand at first, but suddenly, there was now a shining silver knife!

*Plush!*

The knife plunged into Li Jindou’s heart, and blood spurted out.

Lazaha froze, his mind going blank. He had no idea where the knife had come from. Had he been so angry that he had inadvertently pulled it out from his spatial ring?

Li Jindou was even more enraged and grief-stricken to have been stabbed by Lazaha, this lowly person! Experts could not die, and though he had fatally been stabbed by a sharp weapon, Li Jindou still had his soul, and he could be reborn thusly, but all of his cultivation would be as good as gone. This was

even more painful than losing his life!

*Plush!*

Before dying, Li Jindou attacked Lazaha with all his might! He even used a soul art! Those struck by this attack could not be reborn!

Ina nearby and well-hidden corner, Xia Fei watched Li Jindou and Lazaha take down each other with a cold smile.

*Whoosh whoosh whoosh!*

This place was not hard to find, so Chaos Society soon had it surrounded, but by this time, Xia Fei had already disappeared. Arriving at a tea house, he ordered a few snacks. He then lit a cigarette and leisurely puffed away.

It was not long before Fuchen arrived. Xia Fei let Fuchen sit on his seat and said softly, “Thanks for this time.”

Fuchen chuckled. “It’s so hard to hear the word thanks from you. I’ve been so busy lately that I practically went crazy, but to hear your thanks instantly fills me with energy.”

Xia Fei put a mung bean cake in his mouth and smiled. “You can’t be sure about that. Starting from today, I’ll thank you three times every time we meet, even if we meet in the toilet.”

“You! When you’re not serious, you’re really not serious!” Fuchen laughed as he replied to Xia Fei’s sarcastic remark.

After a pause, Xia Fei said, “If not for your information, the Aurora Clan would’ve been in trouble, but hows it that you were so busy yet still had time to spy on the Laz Clan? You seem to have more energy than most young people.”

Fuchen smiled wordlessly. Of course he had not been the one spying on the Laz Clan. All of the information came from his exclusive soul servant, Wraith.

Fuchen had never introduced his soul servant to Xia Fei for some reason. Even more interesting was that Wraith, who claimed to be from the Yao Clan, was very interested in Xia Fei. Whenever Fuchen had him look around the city, he would always keep a watch on those people connected to Xia Fei or

those that Xia Fei had quarrels with.

“What? You still don’t feel grateful even after I helped you?” Fuchen sipped his tea and smiled.

Xia Fei blew out a smoke ring. “I’m naturally grateful. After this incident, the Aurora Clan probably won’t have any problems, so we can now carry on with our business in peace.”

Fuchen was startled, looking at Xia Fei and saying, “Well, then. There really are some people in this world who can do good without needing to make it known. It seems like you don’t plan to make the people of the Aurora Clan grateful to you?”

“They don’t need to thank me. Everything I’ve done is for that deceased grandfather whom I didn’t even get a chance to meet. Without this connection, I would never care about the Aurora Clan’s fate. A clan with that personality will be doomed sooner or later. There’s just no saving it.”

Fuchen shook his head. “It seems like you don’t know why the Aurora Clan has managed to live this long despite its personality.”

“Why?” Xia Fei asked curiously. In his view, the Aurora Clan, which had never fought against anything and was always struck back with a gentle hand, was an existence that could wholly be ignored. This universe had always been about the person with the most vicious methods living the longest.

Fuchen smiled. “If you are so keen to learn why, why don’t you return to the Aurora Clan?”

“Return?! Are you sure?” Xia Fei was stunned. “Putting aside the fact that I can’t stand their attitude, if that woman finds me, there’s bound to be big trouble.”

Fuchen casually said, “It’s precisely because I’m confident that I’m telling you to return to the Aurora Clan, or else how can we draw that woman out? If we can’t draw her out, how can we ensure that this problem is pulled out of its roots?”

Xia Fei began to think. It seemed like Fuchen was absolutely confident that he could help him remove that major source of concern.

“Why do you want to help me?” Xia Fei asked coldly.

Fuchen replied, “Soul weapons, healing-type soul weapons specifically. I can’t get them from anyone else except you.”

“That simple?” Xia Fei asked.

Fuchen chuckled and stared at Xia Fei. “You’re not scared of going back to the Aurora Clan, are you? Well, I can’t blame you. Your personality is far too different from its other members. Even if you go, it’ll be hard to avoid conflict.”

Xia Fei bitterly smiled. “I can’t say that I’m afraid, but I really don’t like these nice guys. Life is short, so it’s best to just close your eyes when you can. Other than the people you care about, the rest can all die for all I care. It’s not a big deal. Isn’t it a pain in the butt to act so nicely in front of everyone?”

Fuchen smiled as he watched Xia Fei vent. To tell the truth, as he worked with him, Fuchen found himself liking Xia Fei’s personality more and more. He was someone who would have the upper hand wherever he went, never suffering a loss.

This was particularly the case with Xia Fei’s unreasonable outsider theory. He only cared about his people and ignored everyone else, unlike a majority of people, who cared about what others thought, adjusting their clothes and hair according to society’s opinion and standard, even asking if others found

them pretty.

‘Was that really necessary?

To Xia Fei, he was not living for the sake of others, so he certainly did not care whether people disliked the look of him or not. If one did not like his look, they could just shut their mouth, and if one did not want to do that, then they should not blame Xia Fei for killing them.

*Pal*

Xia Fei seemed to have made a decision, slapping his thigh. “It’s just a bunch of nice guys, so if I need to go, I’ll go! As the saying goes, ‘it’s only soft persimmons that can be kneaded, so one should only bully the honest. What can that bunch of honest people do to me?!”

Fuchen laughed. “They naturally won’t do anything to you. I’m more worried that you’ll bring about some disaster to the Aurora Clan. After all, you bring a lot of trouble with you. Come here; I still have a few things to tell you.”

Fuchen pulled Xia Fei closer and whispered into his ea
