Chapter 629: Scattered Stars Seven Units

Han Fei and Cao Qiu were taken to a place named Scattered Stars Archive Room.

This archive room was hidden in an inconspicuous store that sold cultivation books next to the Refining Hall.

It looked like a store from the outside, but it had hidden secrets within. Going two hundred meters down the secret chamber of books, Han Fei and Cao Qiu saw “Scattered Stars Archive Room” on the door.

The place looked like an abandoned basement, similar to the Thug Academy’s library at the beginning.

The environment was absolutely dark. Nothing except the sconces next to the door could be seen. The flickering candles on them seemed like they could die out at any second.

The ragged room behind seemed rather huge, and the door looked so old that it might break down any moment.

Cao Qiu secretly pulled Han Fei’s arm and asked, “Will we be killed to keep our mouths shut?”

The Yang-surnamed Hidden Fisher suddenly turned around with a creepy smile. “You honestly think I need to do that? Besides, even if I wanted to kill you, I could’ve done that anywhere.”

Han Fei didn’t want to respond to Cao Qiu’s idiotic question either. He was merely curious about this mysterious place.

Han Fei asked, “Senior, what is this place?”

“Don’t ask. You’ll know when you’re supposed to.”

Dum! Dum!

The Hidden Fisher knocked on the door and said gently, “Elder Chen?”

After more than ten seconds, an old and hoarse voice came out of the door. “Huh? Are you Yang Dao? Tell me their names.”

“Elder Chen, they are Cao Qiu and Han Fei. Both of them came to the Scattered Stars Island several months ago.”

Han Fei and Cao Qiu were confused. Who was this person that even a seven-star expert must respect so dearly? Also, why were their names submitted?

Creak...

About ten seconds later, the ragged door was slightly opened, and Han Fei and Cao Qiu peeped in, only to see two jade slips being thrown out.

Yang Dao picked up the jade slips with both hands and examined them carefully. He turned back with slight surprise and looked at Han Fei. “Huh? You killed a peak-level Hanging Fisher defending a dragon boat?”

Han Fei was rather stunned. He didn’t expect that this piece of information would be recorded in his jade slips.

Actually, after they returned from the level-three fishery, Old Bai simply said that it was not a big deal to kill him.

Nevertheless, Han Fei had hurt the interests of a lot of people from the Thousand Star City! The Scattered Stars Island wasn’t like the Blue Sea Town. Han Fei didn’t feel too reassured even though Senior Brother Dashuai was here.

Han Fei made up his mind to look for Old Bai and the others after he came out.

The most reassuring people to him were undoubtedly Old Bai and Jiang Qin. Jiang Qin was said to be a peak-level Hanging Fisher, and Old Bai was even stronger than her. They would be his best supporters.

However, Yang Dao didn’t say anything else after a slight exclamation. He soon focused his eyes on Cao Qiu and looked at him up and down.

A moment later, Yang Dao threw the jade slips back into the room and said gently after a glance at Cao Qiu, “Elder Chen, I can’t see through her clearly. Do you have any suggestions?”

The old man’s voice came out of the door again, “Let both of them choose!”

Yang Dao was stunned. “Huh? Both of them?”

BAM!

The door was closed, and the moment before it was closed, a vague voice came from inside, “That’s right!”

Yang Dao cupped his hands at the door and then looked at Han Fei and Cao Qiu. He said solemnly, “Come with me.”

A moment later, Han Fei and Cao Qiu came to the edge of the Transverse Mountain following Yang Dao.

There was a huge yard in this place that seemed to be surrounded by arrays. Han Fei could easily see the shadow of fatal arrays in them. But they were not entirely fatal arrays; some were mazes.

Yang Dao said coldly, “Follow me and don’t move about.”

Han Fei and Cao Qiu looked at each other and followed Yang Dao without saying anything.

After they all entered the yard, it could easily be seen that the spiritual energy in this place was five times more concentrated than outside.

All kinds of spiritual grasses were being dried in the yard. There were also spiritual fruits on the ground and in the lake.

Unlike the vegetables and fruits in the plantations, these were real spiritual plants. After a quick glance, Han Fei found that many spiritual fruits actually contained 200,000 points of spiritual energy.

Yang Dao looked at Han Fei. “Tell me.”

Han Fei was shocked. “About what?”

“What did you see first in this place?”

Seeing that Yang Dao was smiling as if he were enjoying the show, Han Fei couldn’t help but scan the place with his senses, only to find that his senses couldn’t penetrate the ground.

Yang Dao chuckled. “Everybody can spread out their senses, so there are plenty of ways to block them.”

Han Fei scanned for a long time, before he finally said, “If I’m not mistaken, with those spiritual plants as the center, the lakes and the land are connected in a certain way and constructed an overlapping Spirit Gathering Array. There are also maze and fatal arrays outside of the yard. Since you took us here, senior, there must be residents in this place, but we haven’t seen any, so they must be underground...”

All of a sudden, Han Fei looked up at the sky and saw a few birds flying by. They must be birds from the Transverse Mountain, yet they circumvented this place, which slightly surprised Han Fei.

Han Fei pondered for a moment and said, “This place is dangerous.”

Yang Dao smiled casually. “Why do you think so?”

“They all say that the Transverse Mountain is dangerous, but I haven’t seen any creatures near this place. I’m afraid it’s not just about the fatal arrays, but also because they’re scared of certain people that are underground.”

Yang Dao looked at Cao Qiu. “What about you? What did you see?”

Cao Qiu scratched his head. “Are there researchers in this place?”

Yang Dao’s face slightly changed. “Oh? How did you know?”

Cao Qiu declared proudly, “That’s very easy to find out. I found some poisonous grasses in this place, which weren’t a big deal. However, the stones on the floor are different. They contain nutrition, because the spiritual energy here isn’t enough for the plants even though it’s abundant. The floor, the wall and the buildings have to nourish them too. This isn’t something that everybody can do. Only innovative researchers couldn’t come up with such a solution.”

Yang Dao slightly gasped, amazed that the little fatty inferred that there were researchers in this place just from the floor under his feet.

It was just a speculation, yet he declared it with so much confidence, so he certainly deserved attention.

Yang Dao paused a moment and said, “It’s clear that you are truly talented. However, what I’m about to say next will be your own choice. Well, you are not to expose a word that I’m to say today, or the consequences will be too dire for you to bear.”

Yang Dao said again, “On the Scattered Stars Island, most people only know the Command Center, the Dark Hunter Legion, the Refining Hall, the Pioneer Legion and other regular groups. There are several special groups, but they’re all in the open. However, very few people on the Scattered Stars Island are aware of this place...”

Han Fei said quickly, “Wait a moment!”

“Huh?”

Yang Dao wasn’t very happy being interrupted by Han Fei while he was talking. He glared at him.

Han Fei simply asked, “Senior, will we be free in this place?”

Yang Dao: “???”

Brutality vaguely spread out of Yang Dao’s body. He was of a mind to scold Han Fei, because too many people wanted to come to this place but never had a chance to.

Cao Qiu secretly raised his thumb at Han Fei.

Yang Dao said gloomily, “Fairly so. You have nothing to worry about.”

“That’s great! That’s great!”

Yang Dao snorted and continued, “On the Scattered Stars Island, there’s a place named Scattered Stars Seven Units. Whoever gets admitted by the Scattered Star Seven Units will be the greatest talents. If you hadn’t distinguished yourselves in the tide of Red Ghosts, and if one of you weren’t a poison maker and the other hadn’t become a captain as an advanced Dangling Fisher, do you think I would’ve noticed you?”

After a brief pause, Yang Dao went on, “The so-called Scattered Stars Seven Units are actually the seven most mysterious departments on the Scattered Stars Island. Among them, the First Unit only admits unparalleled Heavenly Talents.”

“The Second Unit has the most people, and it’s the easiest to get into. The good thing about this unit is that you can set sail if you become a member of it.”

“The Third Unit is for pharmacy. They make both medications and poisons.”

“The Fourth Unit are refiners. There’s only one condition to go to the Fourth Unit: you have to be able to seal souls.”

“The Fifth Unit is the Supervision Department. They have the power to supervise everybody in and out of the Scattered Stars Island. They can even mobilize armies.”

The Sixth Unit are researchers. I have no idea what they’ve been working on. They pretty much work on everything. This floor is one of their products. Not everybody can go to this department. You must have worthy research products.”

“The Seventh Unit are the assassins. Nobody from the Seventh Unit ever shows up. They can be anybody.”

Yang Dao introduced the situation to him.

Han Fei and Cao Qiu looked at each other in bewilderment. Was Yang Dao implying that each of them was to choose a unit to join?
