Summoners: One Golden Term per Level

Chapter 537: Chapter 28: The Kunlun Incident

Ye Fengbai naturally found Shen Fei’s request acceptable, just a small matter.

"How much longer will this place need to be maintained?"

Shen Fei asked.

"Probably seven or eight more days. Once these Abyssal Creatures realize that there’s nothing to be done, they’ll naturally leave."

"Alright, then Shennong will stay here for the time being."

Shen Fei drank the tea until the cup was empty, nodding, "Good tea."

He then bid farewell to Ye Fengbai and left the Abyss of Ten Thousand Insects with Su Muyu through the Teleportation Array, but they didn’t rush to the Wolf Calamity Abyss, arriving shortly after at the base of the West China Military Region.

"On the move."

Coincidentally, Ye Xiu was at the base, but judging by his worried expression, he seemed to have a lot on his plate.

"Has something happened on the Kunlun side?" Shen Fei suddenly thought of Vice Judge Gao going to Kunlun for investigation, and Ye Xiu was in charge of stationed forces there, so he should know if anything was amiss.

"A new Space Channel is forming, but the specifics are still unknown."

"Is it linked to the Abyss?"

"No idea. Since the Professional Era began, Kunlun rose by tens of thousands of meters. Even Kings hesitate to enter, as the Abyss-polluted Exotic Beasts at the foot are comparable to Abyssal Creatures.

Going further up, even Tier Nine could meet their end there."

"The Military Commander said that the Kunlun depths hold secrets too immense, even he once attempted to explore personally, only to be scared off."

"Recently, Breaking Abyss Army’s space detection found spatial fluctuations in Kunlun, so they asked Vice Judge Gao to investigate after his recent return."

Ye Xiu’s words piqued Shen Fei’s curiosity.

This information was indeed unknown to him, or rather, this three-hundred-year Professional change, while not short, equates to three generations. Yet, not long either.

It hasn’t even surpassed a dynasty’s lifespan.

Moreover, Wu Xia primarily focuses on changes within its territory, and the natural changes in Kunlun leave Wu Xia with no room to investigate clearly.

The understanding within is practically blank.

Even figures like Meng Zhengguo went exploring, though he is Tier Ten, yet even he spoke of great secrets inside, fearing the need for at least Tier Ten, possibly Tier Eleven to grasp.

"Alright. I’ll head to Chang’an first. In a couple of days, I’ll visit the Wolf Calamity Abyss, pay a visit to One Sword Overthrows Immortal, and take the opportunity to kill that Deceitful Wolf."

Ye Xiu’s eyelids twitched, how could an Abyss True Body seem like a mere chick in Shen Fei’s words, ready to kill on a whim.

He spoke too lightly.

Yet knowing that at least two Tier Ten figures have perished at Shen Fei’s hand nowadays, it somehow seemed fitting.

"Alright."

Ye Xiu nodded, "Any need for my assistance?"

"No need."

...

Chang’an University.

At the entrance stood two lively figures, one donned in white, wearing a longsword at the waist, with a tall, cold demeanor making students and passersby glance involuntarily.

They quickly recognized her as Bai Qingzhao, renowned as the ’Little Sword Immortal’ at Chang’an University.

They swiftly retracted their gaze, to avoid disturbing her.

And the other, dressed in a Chang’an University uniform, sported a massive axe that outmatched her petite frame, intimidating watchers into averting their eyes.

Wuu Yuan.

"Why haven’t they arrived yet?" Wuu Yuan propped her chin, glancing at the time, unable to resist speaking.

Su Muyu had informed them that she and Shen Fei were coming to Chang’an University today, to meet with old friends, and now some time had already passed.

Bai Qingzhao responded in a tranquil tone, "Shen Fei is a busy man. I heard from Muyu that they just left the North China Military Region."

"Shen Fei... seems like getting the upper hand is truly hopeless." Wuu Yuan bit her silver tooth, recalling Shen Fei’s unkind act of tossing her around during a competition, a grudge she had kept buried.

She wanted a chance to retaliate.

To her knowledge, she bore the sole profession, surely waiting until later to defeat him, but who knew that moment was her closest to Shen Fei.

Come the college entrance exam.

Shen Fei’s prowess soared unmatched; afterward, his exploits spread, making Wuu Yuan question if Shen Fei was indeed the same individual she once knew.

Bai Qingzhao cast a glance at her daydreaming sister.

And at this moment.

Bai Qingzhao’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, noticing a repugnant figure approaching, Wuu Yuan’s expression turned sour like she’d swallowed something foul.

"Eh? Isn’t this Miss Bai? What a coincidence! We really do have a connection!" The newcomer boasted good looks, yet spoke slickly.

Bai Qingzhao remained expressionless, while Wuu Yuan frowned slightly, responding coldly, "Fang Jiu, this is the school gate. With so many people coming and going, where’s this connection with you?"

"Heh, recently my father visited Uncle Bai, said we young people ought to know each other.

My father handles Fang Family equipment sales in South China. If our families unite, we could definitely join forces."

Fang Jiu wasn’t bothered by Wuu Yuan’s sarcasm; his target was Bai Qingzhao.

Bai Qingzhao was a Sword Immortal disciple, not certain she’d reach Tier Ten, but Tier Eight or Nine seemed plausible.

Once he wins her heart, his Fang Family standing would surely rise, perhaps even surpassing the main family’s status if they had Sword Immortal ties.

"By chance, I’m free this evening. Would Miss Bai grace me with the pleasure of dining together?" Fang Jiu smiled, "We can chat about Bai Family’s recent business losses, how about it?"

Bai Qingzhao furrowed her brow; this was outright coercion.

Though the Bai Family holds some renown in South China, chiefly involved in equipment sales.

Lately, Bai Family business experienced losses.

She heard this from her big brother, specific details unknown, yet even her father appeared worried, intending to seek assistance from the Sword Immortal lineage.

Most Sword Immortal lineage resources are based in West China.

South China is too distant.

Moreover, she didn’t wish to misuse her master’s connections for tyranny. Her master was a Sword Immortal; using his name for tyranny would tarnish his reputation.

Therefore.

Her father planned to seek aid from the Fang Family branch, though merely a branch, still one among the Fang Family, with considerable South China business.

Wuu Yuan observed the troubled Bai Qingzhao, able only to sigh inwardly; Bai Qingzhao leaned on the Sword Immortal lineage and knew Shen Fei, yet Bai Qingzhao’s nature opposed relying on others.

But business.

Isn’t just about fighting. Not until reaching Shen Fei’s prowess can personal impact intervene.

Perhaps it’s due to her character—unyielding—to catch the Sword Immortal lineage’s eye.

After all, young Sword Class Professionals are plentiful.

West China University boasts many, most there out of admiration.

Yet only Bai Qingzhao was accepted into the Sword Immortal lineage.

"Miss Bai, consider well. Otherwise, preserving your family’s business will be quite difficult." Fang Jiu stated with a grin.

Suddenly, Wuu Yuan’s eyes lit up.

"Muyu, there!"
