Chapter 1350: The Truth!!!

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

After Xia Fei had taken care of the ambushers in the rear, he turned around and realized that Xiu Zetian and all the other members of the command squad had vanished.

“Oh no!” Xia Fei had a foreboding feeling. He accelerated along the underground city’s roads.

His mind was rapidly working. The conditions this time were very special. This was clearly a frontal charge mission, yet the 29th Place, which had always performed investigations, had been mobilized. The Black Ops Division’s 108th Place and 29th Place were responsible for internal investigations. Why had the 29th Place been tasked with manning the front line? Were the other hundred plus Places all useless?

And there was also Xiu Zetian. Something had been off about him from the start. He had led them deep underground and then recklessly chased after that guy with the chained trident-mace. Having a man with a grudge leading this offensive operation was foolish; had the higher-ups not known about Xiu Zetian’s mental state?

Various shadows lingered in Xia Fei’s mind, and the fallen corpses on the ground only confirmed his theories!”

“Jiagan!? Du Wuping!?” Xia Fei stopped and stared at the corpses. Those two were brothers from the 29th Place. They were collapsed in pools of blood and could no longer speak.

“The third one. Did we really fall into a trap?” Radix nervously said.

Xia Fei hadn’t spent long in the 29th Place, but he was well aware that the 29th Place possessed astounding strength! The battle had only been going on for a few minutes, but the command squad had already lost three officers. The other squads couldn’t be in a much better state!

Xia Fei clenched his teeth and charged ahead!

…

“Breath Control!”

The passage suddenly opened, and he could now hear the furious roars of Xiu Zetian. Xia Tian came to a sudden stop and hid himself in the darkness.

Xiu Zetian had just mentioned the Fiend Race. Xia Fei was very sensitive to this subject, so he decided to wait and see what happened.

This was a former Fiend training center. Spiky pillars supported a ceiling at least a hundred meters up, and the total area was twenty square kilometers.

There were many bodies on the ground, both of the enemy and of the 29th Place. After a fierce battle, only Xiu Zetian and Shane were left of the 29th Place. The last remaining member of the enemy force had been nailed to the wall by Xiu Zetian’s Paired Comet, the blade penetrating through his shoulder blade.

“Tell me! Even if me and my wife were investigating the Fiend ruins, so what!? Why did you have to kill us!?” Xiu Zetian roared, his eyes red.

It was clear that Xiu Zetian was very agitated, his entire body trembling. It seemed like this was the person he had been chasing for so many years, the one who had killed his wife.

Even in these dire straits, that man was full of scorn. Swallowing, he whispered, “Xiu Zetian, do you know who I am?”

“You’re the one who killed my wife! The one who broke us up forever! Even if you turned to ash, I would recognize you!” Xiu Zetian bellowed back.

“Tsk!” The man scornfully laughed. “Reckless idiot! You were the strongest investigator of the Investigation Bureau. You really think I would have dared to ambush you if it wasn’t the will of an Apex? Your surname is Xiu, but it seems like you’ve wasted all these years. Even now, you can’t see the truth of the situation.”

Xiu Zetian shuddered in shock. He knew that someone from the Annihilation Universe must have been behind the ambush of his wife and subordinates, but this was the first time Xiu Zetian was hearing that this ambush had been carried out on the orders of an Apex!

An Apex! One of the Five Ancient Apexes!?

Xiu Zetian’s teeth trembled. He didn’t understand. Why would the Five Ancient Apexes want to move against him!?

Xiu Zetian suppressed his rage and demanded, “Who are you!? And whose orders are you carrying out!?”

“The black ops division’s Zero Place, codenamed Death’s Bird. I’m their chief, Yading,” the man declared coldly.

Xiu Zetian shuddered, and the hidden Xia Fei was also flabbergasted. The Black Ops Division had a Zero Place? So there were 109 Places in all? But why had he never heard of it!?

And it was the Black Ops Division that had killed their fellow colleague’s wife!?

Xia Fei was baffled. Xiu Zetian’s face was pale, but behind him, Shane didn’t seem all that surprised.

“Why!? Tell me why!?” Xiu Zetian was on the verge of going insane!

Was this the result of his many years of pursuit? Yading had very matter-of-factly told the truth, as if he had felt no psychological burden. Xiu Zetian found this impossible to accept.

“It’s very simple. You couldn’t be allowed to keep investigating, for if you did, you would find out the truth and make all of Annihilation quake!” Yading declared coldly. “What if I told you that the Fiend Race never betrayed Annihilation!? What would you think!?” Yading added in a sinister tone.

“What if I told you that that battle had been a conspiracy from the start!? Would you be able to accept it!? Would all of Annihilation be able to accept it!?” Yading raised his voice.

“And what if I told you that the Fiend Race had been sent on a suicide mission? They went to the rear of the Megadragon to flank them, but the bosses of the Heroes Alliance used a Sealing spell that locked up the Fiend Race and the Megadragons together in the seventh universe! It was all to completely remove the Fiend Race! Would you believe me!?” Yading roared.

*Boom!*

Xiu Zetian felt like his brain was about to explode. As for Xia Fei, he felt like his blood was starting to flow in reverse!

Heavens!

For there to be such a conspiracy! The strongest race in the universe, the Fiend Race, had been sold out by the Heroes Alliance! The strongest force in the universe, the Devil Shadow Dragoons, had been sealed up by the so-called Heroes Alliance in the seventh universe with their sworn foes, the Megadragons!

Despicable!

Utterly despicable!

Xia Fei had heard of many despicable and shameless things before, but this went below the bottom line of any sapient lifeform!

Such a wicked plot!

Sealing up the Fiend Race with their sworn foes in the seventh universe so that the Fiend Race would have no choice but to fight with the dragons to the death!

Xia Fei felt like he was suffocating! The flames of anger grew hotter and hotter, and he felt like he was about to explode!

Grand Ancestor Xia Gucheng had been such a nice old man, but because of an Annihilator, he had been left abandoned in the sea of stars. Whenever his relatives were brought up, Xia Gucheng would always appear very sad…

How could he not be sad? But if Xia Gucheng knew that his relatives had been callously entrapped by Annihilator, he would have been in the mood to slaughter gods!

“I don’t believe it! I don’t!” Xiu Zetian backed away, holding his head.

This blow was just too great. His convictions as a warrior had been shattered in an instant, all of the principles he had held to be true turning out to be blatant lies! This universe was nothing more than a universe of conspiracy and profit!

Even the betrayal of the Fiend Race had been fake! Was there anything in this universe that was real!?

“It’s up to you whether you believe it or not. The Heroes Alliance removed their stubborn foe, the Fiend Race, and had them fight to the death with the Dragon Race, and it even dealt a blow to the other small races as well. Let me be frank with you. In that battle, not a single one of the bigshots from the humans or Bluebloods died. The ones who died all belonged to the Devil Shadow Dragoons and Dark Moon Dragoons!

“Without the meticulous planning of the old Heroes, do you really think the humans and Bluebloods would have ended up in such a dominant position like this? I’ve looked through the historical records, and in that era, the strongest forces were the Devil Shadow Dragoons and Dark Moon Dragoons! Only after they were killed off were the humans and Bluebloods able to thrive!”

Yading continued to talk, each word hammering into Xia Fei’s heart like a nail.

How shameless did you have to be to think of such a deranged plan!?

Xia Fei had once received the mental information from that three-eyed Fiend Race elder. Even until the last moment, he had firmly believed that his death would win a place for all sapient races to thrive.

He would never have imagined that he had been sold out! The Fiend Race had been sold out! Everyone except the humans and Bluebloods had been sold out!

Justice!? It was all nonsense!

Heroes!? Nothing more than craven scoundrels!

Aaagh! Xia Fei’s entire body was trembling, and he found it almost impossible to control his rage!

At this moment, something even more shocking happened!

Shane suddenly moved up and stabbed a silver dagger through Xiu Zetian’s heart!

*Plush!*

It was an extremely heavy sound, and blood gushed from the wound like a sword.

“You…” Xiu Zetian covered his chest and spoke, his face ghastly pale.

“Apologies, but you know too much now,” Shane said coldly, sheathing his dagger.

Shane had been Xiu Zetian’s most cherished subordinate! When Xia Fei first joined the Black Ops Division, Xiu Zetian had assigned Shane to keep an eye on Xia Fei, because Shane was the subordinate he trusted the most!

But the man Xiu Zetian had been willing to entrust his back to had utterly betrayed him! Had even dealt him the killing blow!

Xiu Zetian stumbled back. What didn’t hurt the most was the wound on his body, but the pain from his heart, which had thrown him into utter despair!

Everything he had believed in was fake. Even his most trusted subordinate was an enemy! What sort of world was this!?

*Thump!*

Utterly disheartened, Xiu Zetian fell to the ground, blood spurting from his mouth as his eyes stared vacantly at the sky.

Even Yading of the Zero Place didn’t expect Shane to suddenly kill Xiu Zetian, and was eying him suspiciously .

“You talk too much. I’m the spy from Zero Place that was placed at Xiu Zetian’s side. I will report what you have said to our superiors,” Shane said to Yading coldly. “Hurry and gather your men and clear out those idiots from the 29th Place. I need to go and see where that kid Xia Fei ran off to.”

Shane turned and walked away, but found a pair of bloodshot eyes staring at him from the entrance.

“Was everything you said true?” Xia Fei asked grimly.

His head was lowered like a wild beast about to erupt. His voice was raspy, and his hair was standing up.

Shane was stunned, and then he shook his head and smiled. “I didn’t think you were nearby. We got along pretty well, so I was planning to spare your life. A pity!”

Xia Fei’s face was ashen as he raised his head and said darkly, “You think you can kill me?”

Shane was just about to reply when Xia Fei abruptly lunged!

He was traveling more than a hundred million meters per second! A third of light speed!

*BOOM!*

Nobody knew how Xia Fei had done it, not even Shane!

The pinned down Yading had been turned into a pile of meat paste by Xia Fei’s infuriated fist and fastest speed! At the peak of the Law of Primal Chaos, one punch was enough to pulverize the man!

Shane paled in shock! That was the head of the Black Ops Division’s Zero Place, but he couldn’t even take one punch from Xia Fei!?

That was the power of absolute rage!

Fiend energy had the ability to boost combat power to the absolute limit! Today, Xia Fei’s fury had reached the apex, and his Fiend energy had risen to the apex of the apex!

When Xia Fei was very angry, the consequences were grave!

All he wanted to do right now was kill everyone!

Xia Fei pulled the Paired Comet out of the wall, gripping it in his hand. “Today, all of you will die!” Xia Fei raised his arm and pointed at Shane.
