gaze gave off killing intent!

“Woman, looks like I need to punish you more often to curb your predilection to cause trouble,” Xia Fei angrily tossed out several Soul Weapons from his spatial ring and told Suzu, “This is your remuneration.
From today on, you’re not allowed to ask any further questions!”

Leaving the Heavenly Treasure Firm, Xia Fei and Ulan got themselves lodging at a small hotel and focused on cultivating daily.

Recently, Xia Fei had sensed that his soul marks were in fluctuation again.
It seemed that he was on the verge breaking through to Level 5.
As for his two extremely difficult powers, the Law of Primal Chaos and the Law of Speed, they had not made any rapid progress.

During the fourth night, Ulan fell asleep, sprawled on the table.
His mood had been terrible lately, and Xia Fei could hear him sighing repeatedly at night.
For one, he was feeling very sad over Fuchen’s departure, and second, he was even more worried about Xia Fei and himself.

Fuchen had made Xia Fei take over the Unrestricteds, letting Ulan as the witness.
While it seemed simple, it had practically forced the two of them upon a mountain of swords!

Seeing as how those Unrestricteds had even forced their own sect master out of their sect, even a fool could tell just what would befall Xia Fei and Ulan!

Xia Fei was actually struggling to understand Fuchen’s intentions as well, but because he was also more determined, no amount of thoughts lingering in his mind affected Xia Fei’s cultivation and sleep.

*Smack* Xia Fei clapped Ulan on his shoulder.
Ulan opened his eyes drowsily and mumbled, “It’s the middle of the night.
What’s the matter?”

“We’re leaving.
We need to find somewhere with no one and I need you to help guard me,” Xia Fei said.

“Do you mean to say you’re…” Ulan was shocked, losing his grogginess in an instant.

“That’s right, my fifth Soul Mark is about to form!” Xia Fei replied calmly.

Silver Specter departed in the dead of the night, soon arriving at a desolate region of space and parking itself.

Radix was the one controlling the ship, while Ulan stayed outside Xia Fei’s cultivation room as guard, shaking his head unceasingly.

Furball laid down outside the only window that could see in, staring at Xia Fei in excitement.
As people got older, they tended to talk more, and this was especially the case for Ulan, an old man who had continuously suffered setbacks, and was anxious from having no one he could talk to.

As such, Ulan learned from Furball, and simply watched from the window.
But how was he to know that Furball had simply no respect for the elderly.
The window was already small to begin with, and Furball was blocking more than half the view, making it impossible for Ulan to make out anything.

All of a sudden, Furball began dancing in excitement.
He could not speak, but he did let out this strange sounding crowing from his throat!

A wave of aurora-like light flashed past, and the entire cultivation room exploded in energy! It was completely basked in glaring light!

They could not see Xia Fei himself, but they could make out five distinct Soul Spirit Marks spinning in the air.
They surrounded him and formed a five-pointed star.
Their speed grew more and more ridiculous, to the point they were nothing more than a single glowing ring.
They entered Xia Fei’s seventh brain region, after which Xia Fei exhaled a long and relaxed sigh from inside the room.

“I did it! I finally did it!” Xia Fei was laughing as he opened the door of his cultivation room.

Ulan suddenly said something very untimely, “If Fuchen was here, he would surely explain to you the benefits that come with having five Soul Marks, and even remind you not to let the speed of your advancement get to your head.

“Actually, I already know that Fuchen has been very proud this entire time, as you’re far stronger than those two incompetent disicples of his.
It’s been barely a year since he met you until now, and yet you’ve actually managed to surge your way through the levels and reached Level 5 now.
While we can’t say for sure if anyone will ever be able to beat your speed, it is at least unprecedented from what we know of our ancestors.”

Ulan sounded as if he was talking to himself as he nagged Xia Fei about this.

Xia Fei had this uncomfortable feeling after hearing it.
Though he did not officially share a master and disciple relationship with Fuchen, he at the very least respected him a great deal!

Xia Fei patted Ulan on his shoulder and led him to the command deck, saying, “Fuchen’s not around, so we ought to properly handle the matter he tasked us.
I only blame myself for leveling too slowly.
If I had already possessed at least eight Soul Marks, and a max Law of Speed, Law of Primal Chaos, we would at least have an easier time.”

Ulan stuck his tongue out and shot back, “Why dwell on this? Anyway, if you’ve really attained such a degree of strength, I reckon Fuchen would never have let you take over the Unrestricteds.”

“Why?” Xia Fei asked, curious.

“What do you mean, why? The Unrestricteds are the sorts that live off somebody while secretly helping people on the outside, and bullying Fuchen to the miserable state he is now in.
Given your temper, wouldn’t you end up killing off the entire sect?” Ulan chuckled.

Hearing that, Xia Fei came to a sudden halt with a distant look in his eyes, as if he was lost in thought.

This change in his expression was so abrupt that it could not escape Ulan’s eyes, who could not help but feel his goosebumps rise.

“What crazy idea have you got now?!” Ulan asked nervously.

Xia Fei smiled, as a profound smirk appeared across his lips.
Softly, he said, “Nothing much.
I was just wondering about the soul that Fuchen has, called Wraith.
It seems so evil, and I heard people in the clan say that you and Fuchen were ambushed the other day, and you pulled out a very malicious plant.
Is there perhaps any connection between the two?”

Ulan heaved a sigh of relief, “You scared me.
So that’s what you’re wondering about.
Well, let me tell you, that Bittervine Skyentangler is a treasure of the Botanists that will only be used as a last resort.
Unless I die, you better not have any designs on me, forever!”

Xia Fei was not rebuffed by his warning as a mischievous grin widened across his face, “Then may I ask when will you die?”
