Chapter 1041: Xiao Beishi

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

“Are you Xia Fei? I’ve been waiting for you for a very long time.” An enigmatic voice came from a dark corner of the room.

Xia Fei did not turn to look. All he did was ask softly, “Who are you? Where’s Enya?”

Xiaolin slowly stepped out from the shadows and casually lifted his eyes. “I couldn’t tell that you’d be the emotional sort. My junior has already brought Enya away. They’re both waiting for you right now.”

“What are you seeking me for?” Xia Fei lit a cigarette and asked lightly, all while plenty of thoughts raced in his mind.

It looked like these people had come specifically for him and Enya. With how she had been abducted, Xia Fei was somewhat reduced into taking a passive position.

“He’s just a level 1 Soul Hunter with one Soul Mark. Let’s grab him and grill him properly. Let’s see what he’ll spill!” Radix hooted into Xia Fei’s ears.

Xia Fei had over a thousand torture methods he could use, but he had no idea if the warrior before him had any accomplices nearby. Enya could very well be put into danger if the enemy found out that he had cultivation.

“What am I seeking you for? Is there a need for a Soul Hunter to explain why I’m looking for someone?!” Xiaolin narrowed his eyes, revealing a prideful and triumphant smile as if he were above Xia Fei.

Frowning, Xia Fei slowly turned around. “Alright, I’ll follow you.”

Radix was flustered. “Are you crazy?! You clearly know what’s the enemy’s bottom line, so why are you following him back? What if there’s an ambush?”

Xia Fei did not give his answer but abruptly grabbed a cushion from the sofa and tossed it straight at Xiaolin’s face!

The Soul Hunter Xiaolin was enraged, arriving right over to him from his side, using two fingers to poke his eyes, his fingertips barely a few millimeters away from his eyeballs!

“See, I’m a Soul Hunter! I can kill a cultivation-less person like you a thousand times over by just lifting a single finger!” Xiaolin threatened Xia Fei with a hiss.

How was he to know, the moment when Xia Fei had thrown that cushion, he had already tossed Nirvana and Furball out the window at the fastest speed! What Xia Fei had just done was nothing more than a misdirection!

“Now, I also have a backup.” Xia Fei mentally told Radix this.

…

Aboard a ship that was rapidly flying across the stars.

A white-haired, elderly individual was all smiles, standing before the viewing window in the command deck. In front of him were several soul warriors, Heiress Tang Yingyue, and Tang Wannian’s personal bodyguard, Song Jinhu.

“Master, the speed of your Rhea is really fast. By this speed, won’t you reach Red Dwarf Star in half a day?” asked Song Jinhu softly.

The white-haired elder was none other than Song Jinhu’s master, Broken Soul hallmaster, Xiao Beishi.

In this day and age, any renowned soul expert would seek to open their own hall, and while it was nominally for recruiting disciples to impart soul arts to them, was it not actually to get rich? After all, the warrior profession required plenty of funds, as the lack of money proved to be a huge barrier in advancing further. Hence, the first thing any warrior should learn was how to earn and accumulate wealth to sustain their cultivation expenditure.

Xiao Beishi lived on Golden Eagle 19, which was widely acknowledged as the most prosperous planet in the region. It was far more advanced compared to Red Dwarf Star; Song Jinhu had journeyed for three days just to bring Tang Wannian’s granddaughter to Golden Eagle 19 from Red Dwarf Star. As for Xiao Beishi’s warship, which was the latest model, it only needed half a day to make the return trip. Such a speed of course astonished Song Jinhu greatly.

However, Song Jinhu’s reaction was merely done to flatter his master.

Everyone loved hearing nice things, and Xiao Beishi was naturally delighted by this, chuckling as he said, “But of course! This ship cost your master a hundred million pearls. How could it be anything but fast?”

“A hundred million pearls! That’s a very generous amount, master! I’m afraid that no one else besides you will have such boldness on Golden Eagle 13.” Song Jinhu continued with his fawning.

Xia Beishi replied, “You can’t say that. The largest planet nearest Golden Eagle 13, Hidden Dragon Crouching Tiger, has plenty of people who are more well off than I do. You have simply seen too little of the world and haven’t had the chance to meet such major figures.”

Turning around, Xiao Beishi glanced at the October Flying Snow on Tang Yingyue, a look of greed in his eyes. However, he maintained the air of a grandmaster as he spoke with gravitas, “I’ve never imagined that I’d get to see a healing-type soul weapon in my lifetime. Truly, I can now rest in peace. What’s even more unbelievable is the fact that there’s actually an inheritor to the title of the legendary healing-type Spiritualist. This can very well be the good fortune to the entire Alpha Universe.”

Xiao Beishi was secular. He could tell at a single glance just how extraordinary the October Flying Snow was. He was so excited that he burst into tears the first he saw it; instantly, he made the decision to travel over to Red Dwarf Star with Song Jinhu, all in the hopes of meeting the October Flying Snow’s owner, Xia Fei.

Song Jinhu pouted and said, “For master to take this matter so seriously, even insisting on making the trip to meet Xia Fei personally, it’s debasing your reputation a little.”

“What do you know?!” Xiao Beishi glared at Song Jinhu. He then somewhat retorted in agitation, “Perhaps this Xia Fei person isn’t anyone of importance, but the legendary healing-type Spiritualist behind him sure does! That individual is of god-like importance!

“Healing. Don’t you understand? HEALING! Do you actually get it? Right now, Spiritualists are already few in numbers, while a healing-type Spiritualist is someone that hasn’t appeared on this side of the universe for who knows how many years! Even though one is still alive, they’ll most likely be an old monster who has recused themselves from the world. Forget your master, even some grandmasters several statuses higher than I am may not have met a healing-type Spiritualist in their lifetimes.

“Just look at the October Flying Snow; the spiritual energy in it is weak, most likely a product made when this master was still a novice. It could also be failed garbage. Even so, the October Flying Snow is capable of demonstrating the powerful ability of soul mending. Miss Yingyue has benefited greatly from this. If anyone obtains a complete healing-type soul weapon, that can be considered the good fortune of several lifetimes!”

Song Jinhu did not dare to speak further and merely nodded repeatedly. “Master’s right. Spiritualists are really powerful, and a healing-type Spiritualist is even more god-like! This time, you, master, must seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to meet that amazing Spiritualist, which is bound to add glory to your name.”

Hearing this, Xiao Beishi shook his head with a bitter chuckle. “That would be tough. Spiritualists always have a strange temper; that genuine inheritor of the healing-type Spiritualist title must be an unfathomable existence, too. I have no goal this time other than to befriend that young man called Xia Fei. As for the Spiritualist Healers themselves, it would of course be great if I could meet them in person sometime in the future, but it’s perfectly normal for me not to as well. I’m not about to force the issue.

“Everything is up to fate. As long as I can establish a good rapport with Xia Fei, then even if I only have a sliver of a chance to meet that legendary Spiritualist, it’ll still be a great benefit to me in the future. Even if Xia Fei only gives me a healing-type soul weapon, that can also be deemed as my great honor.”

Song Jinhu laughed along with his master after hearing him say that. “Master’s right. The personality of that Spiritualist behind Xia Fei should indeed be strange. A single provocation and he wiped out the entire Tai family. Still, I heard from my subordinates that the Spiritualist had used a very strange technique, causing the Tai family to perform the massacre themselves, almost as if they were subjected to the Soul Liberation Art.”

Xiao Beishi was startled as he croaked, “What did you say the surname of that family was?”

“Tai. I already reported this to you before, master,” said Song Jinhu.

Song Jinhu had indeed told his master about what had happened to the Tai family, but that was also when Xiao Beishi had discovered that the October Flying Snow was a healing-type soul weapon. He felt so ecstatic he was in tears then, so none of the words Song Jinhu had said registered.

Besides, Xiao Beishi was a very famous person locally, so there was no way he could be bothered hearing about the extermination of a small Tai family from an insignificant place like the Red Dwarf Star.

At this moment, however, when Song Jinhu mentioned what had happened to the Tai family again, Xiao Beishi could not help but recall something from the past, causing doubts to surface in his mind.

“Gan Ming, where did your sect brother Hongtu go? Didn’t I tell you all to follow me? Why’s it that I don’t see Hongtu and the others now?” Xiao Beishi called his eldest disciple over.

Hongtu, Xiaolin, and Biao Zi had left without permission; they even said hi to Gan Ming before they left. This was not the first time his sect brothers had done such a thing, so Gan Ming did not think twice before agreeing.

It was tough to lead a sect life, so from time to time, everyone needed to unwind, dealing with their private lives or making some money elsewhere. It was not enough to just subsist on the allowance the sect gave them, and everyone knew this. Even the master himself would at most reprimand them with a few words.

Seeing that he could no longer hide this matter, Gan Ming hurriedly knelt and answered, “Sect Brother Hongtu said that he’d go home; he brought Xiaolin and Biao Zi with him.”

“Home? Do you remember Hongtu’s surname outside the sect?”

“I think it’s Tai.”

*Zing*

After hearing that, everyone’s expression changed. Even Gan Ming himself could feel his heart beating fast as he realized what he had just said.

“Tai!” Xiao Beishi asked in a panic. “Where do they live?!”

“I think it’s Red Dwarf Star…” Forget mentioning just how horrible Gan Ming’s expression was, with how things were by this point, anyone present could put two and two together. The Tai family that had just been wiped out was none other than Hongtu’s! Aside from locating Xia Fei to exact his revenge, what else could he be doing back on Red Dwarf Star?

*Bang*

Xiao Beishi ignored his identity completely and sent Gan Ming flying to the side with a kick. His voice was strained as he cried, “That butcher dared to touch someone under a Spiritualist? If he ends up provoking that mysterious Spiritualist, I fear that even this master of yours will have to die alongside him! Quick, go contact Hongtu! Tell him to get back immediately!”

Everyone was greatly spooked when they saw Xiao Beishi actually blowing up a gasket.

Very soon, a disciple reported with a pale face, “Master, there’s an electromagnetic storm, so the signal… We have lost communication…”

“Argh!”

Xiao Beishi, who was stunned, clutched his heart with one hand as he felt a suffocating feeling come over him.

…

Red Dwarf Star. A hidden underground facility in the business district.

Xia Fei had been shut in a basement made entirely out of sturdy metal by Xiaolin and Biao Zi. Aside from him were some past enemies of the Tai family; there were even two individuals whom Xia Fei had met from the gathering before.

At the very moment, while their lives were in a state of uncertainty, no one had the mind to greet the others. They were listless and gloomy, unsure whether these Soul Hunters who had captured them were looking to take their money or their lives.

Xia Fei stood in a corner with a lit cigarette. Perhaps it was because he looked far too mysterious, but Xiaolin did not bother searching his body. As there was no energy coming from Xia Fei, it fooled Xiaolin into thinking that the former was just a regular person. Even if someone beat Xiaolin to death, he would not believe that any ordinary folk could do anything to an esteemed soul warrior.

Sending out his senses along the cracks and searching the place quickly, Xia Fei wrinkled his brows.. He wondered to himself several minutes later. ‘Strange… Why isn’t Enya here?’
