In front of the Leafless Tree, the Overlord stabbed Snowmourne to the ground and stared at the battlefield like a statue with bluish flames flashing in his eyes.
With the Overlord here, the sea demons knew that they had failed and it was impossible to kill the Leafless Tree.
They didn’t see it coming that Han Fei could weather through the attack of Divine weapons.
They had run out of Divine weapons, and their enemies were as strong as them. So, they had to retreat if they didn’t want to die for nothing.
However, almost all the sea demons remembered one name: Yu Fei.
Someone roared, “Yu Fei, we will kill you even if we have to chase you to the end of the world… Retreat!”
The Leafless Tree said at this moment, “I secretly found the body of a soul warrior. His soul was destroyed by a mental attack and he’s already dead. Do you need it?”
Han Fei nodded. “Yes, don’t let anybody else notice it.”
His bracelet shivered as if Shu Shan were excited. Then the guy said, “This is good. However, I need to remind you that you’re in a dilemma. If you go to the human beings’ territory in your current look…”
Han Fei’s heart became heavy. He was already exposed to the sea demons, and it was impossible for him to return to the Ten Thousand Demon Valley.
But if he were to return to the Scattered Stars Island, he would be caught in a lot of problems. He couldn’t grow stronger, and he might be suspected as a spy.
No matter how Luo Xiaobai were to defend him, other people could argue that he was doing all this to win their trust.
So, Han Fei frowned and spoke to Luo Xiaobai who was trying to save her teammates after the battle.
“Xiaobai, how will you go back?”
Luo Xiaobai’s face was pale. “I have an array map. We can only return through the array map…”
After several seconds, she said, “We’ll be teleported straight back to the Scattered Stars Island.”
Han Fei’s expression changed quickly. Then, the Leafless Tree said, “If you wait for a while longer, maybe I can create a channel for you.”
Han Fei was refreshed. “Really? How long do I have to wait?”
The Leafless Tree moaned. “At least three months, or even half a year.”
Realizing that it wasn’t too long, Han Fei nodded. “Fine, no problem.”
At this moment, the woman in red named Shi Sanyue and the other captains walked to the Leafless Tree without tending to their severe wounds.
They stopped a hundred meters away from Han Fei and looked at him and the Leafless Tree with mixed feelings.
This Yu Fei had truly made great contributions this time. They didn’t know how he got exposed, but he had saved the day in the battle on his own and they admired him for that.
Cao Jiaren had wiped off the blood on her face and became gentle again. She glanced at the Overlord casually. “He’s a puppet, isn’t he?”
“Huh?”
Shi Sanyue and the others were all shocked. A puppet? Such a strong puppet?
Someone noticed Snowmourne in the Overlord’s hands and was shocked that it was a high-quality Divine weapon.
Unfortunately, this area was blocked a moment earlier, and there was no telling how Han Fei resisted the attack of a Divine weapon.
Leaning against the Leafless Tree, Han Fei said palely, “Why don’t you take a guess about whether or not I’ll tell you the answer?”
Cao Jiaren’s lips curled. I already know the answer without you telling me!
Shi Sanyue solemnly bowed at Han Fei to show her gratitude. “If I may ask, which lord did you used to be?”
Han Fei grinned and said, “You don’t need to know.”
Luo Xiaobai walked close and said indifferently, “It’s about the Thug Academy. You don’t need to know.”
Everybody thought it through when they heard that the Thug Academy was involved.
Only a lunatic of the Thug Academy would’ve possessed a sea demon and snuck into the sea demon’s home, and only the crazy and stubborn Heavenly Talents of the Thug Academy could’ve been so strong.
Luo Xiaobai casually looked at Han Fei and slightly nodded, hinting that Han Fei could adopt her claim and she was here to endorse him.
“Cough, cough!”
Naturally, Han Fei played along. “Well, I didn’t expect that the Thug Academy would have so many Heavenly Talents. One of them is even from a Divine Manipulator family.”
Since Luo Xiaobai was admitted by the Scattered Stars First Unit, her identity as a Divine Manipulator must’ve been known. Han Fei pointed it out to show his knowledge.
Also, the Divine Manipulator family wasn’t known by everybody. By pointing it out, Han Fei was removing other people’s suspicion.
At this moment, Le Renkuang exclaimed and staggered close. “Hahaha! You’re a Senior from the Thug Academy? No wonder I felt that you were so reliable. Senior Uncle, are you coming back? I’m going to treat you to hotpot!”
Han Fei thought to himself, Le Renkuang is quite smart to call me Senior Uncle, which indicates that he’s from another generation and another age. That’s great.
Old Bai mentioned that a lot of experts of the Thug Academy had perished and traveled to other places. He could just pretend to be one of them.
Han Fei glanced at Le Renkuang. “Fat boy, your swallowing technique wasn’t bad. However, what’s hotpot?”
Le Renkuang rolled his eyes and said, “About the hotpot, let me tell you, it’s amazing…”
Le Renkuang rambled on and didn’t give Shi Sanyue and other people any chance to ask Han Fei questions, as it was inappropriate for them to interrupt the members of the same academy who had just reunited.
Shi Sanyue dropped a hint to everybody and slowly moved back to her team. They had to wait until the sea demons left the treasure trove before they went away.
Seeing that everybody was gone, Han Fei said to the Leafless Tree, “Mr. Tree, can you set up a soundproof array?”
“Simple.”
Han Fei frowned and said, “Xiaobai, how are you going to explain this after you return to the Scattered Stars Island?”
Luo Xiaobai said casually, “It won’t be a big problem. How’s your wounds?”
Le Renkuang also asked, “Right, Fei, how did you block the last strike of a Divine weapon? I found it terrifying even on the other side of the battlefield.”
Han Fei’s lips curled. “With a Divine weapon.”
Han Fei didn’t tell Le Renkuang the truth, or he would’ve exclaimed.
Le Renkuang glanced at the Overlord and then examined Snowmourne with his hands.
Immediately, he moved his fingers back. “This sword is awesome! Considering how cold it is, it must be at least a high-quality Divine weapon, right?”
Han Fei yelled at him jokingly, “Where’s your respect? I’m your Senior Uncle. How can I not have a Divine weapon?”
Le Renkuang rolled his eyes quickly. “Enough! But we have to thank you for this. Speaking of which, how did you acquire so many Divine weapons? The weird light that killed so many people was from a Divine weapon too, right?”
Han Fei said with curled lips, “I got them from the sea demons. Stop being sentimental. I’m not going back with you.”
Le Renkuang was about to open his mouth, when Luo Xiaobai asked in advance, “Then how will you leave? You can’t go back with the sea demons’ way.”
Han Fei assured her, “I have my way to get out, but I may have to spend a few months here. I’ll come back after I get out.”
Le Renkuang asked, “You have your way? Then is there a way for you to come back in here?”
Han Fei said angrily, “You think I’m a god? I came here because of luck. I was already one of the top Heavenly Talents among sea demons. Given a few more years, I may have become a sea demon leader.”
Le Renkuang remarked, “A sea demon leader! Speaking of which, is it fun to be a sea demon? How did you sneak into the Ten Thousand Demon Valley? What did you do there?”
Han Fei coldly snapped, “Aren’t you a curious boy? Just go away. I’ll tell you everything after I come back. Right, after you return, try to get more level-2 Soul Crystals and Spirit Awakening Fluid for me.”
Le Renkuang sighed. “How can I…”
Before Le Renkuang could finish, a few Sea Swallowing Seashells had been thrown to him by Han Fei, who glared and said, “There are a lot of materials in them and a few Semi-Divine weapons. Sell them for resources for me.”
Le Renkuang peeped at the Sea Swallowing Seashells and exclaimed in shock, “Han Fei, did you loot the Ten Thousand Demon Valley?”
Luo Xiaobai asked curiously, “What’s inside?”
Lost for words, Le Renkuang gave the Sea Swallowing Seashells to her.
Luo Xiaobai scanned them and got speechless too. She looked at Han Fei and wondered what Han Fei had done in the Ten Thousand Demon Valley as there were more than seventy thousand materials inside.
Han Fei chuckled. “It’s not a big deal, not a big deal…”
Luo Xiaobai gave the Sea Swallowing Seashells to Le Renkuang and looked at Han Fei. “Last time, we didn’t have enough time. About Xiaochan…”
Han Fei slightly shook his head. He didn’t want to talk too much now that Shu Shan and the Leafless Tree were still here.
Han Fei said solemnly, “We can’t see her for now. If we become Explorers someday, we may have a chance to.”
“Explorers?”
Luo Xiaobai and Le Renkuang looked at each other solemnly. Xia Xiaochan’s disappearance turned out to be even more serious than they thought. It was so serious that they weren’t guaranteed to meet her even if they became Explorers.
Without asking more about Xia Xiaochan, Luo Xiaobai suddenly asked, “Han Fei, did you ask Mr. Leafless to steal a body?”
Han Fei was stunned for a moment. Then he was amused, knowing that Luo Xiaobai had the best senses on spiritual plants and she couldn’t have neglected it.
Han Fei nodded. “Yes. Please cover this up for me.”
“Okay!”
