Chapter 196

Without anyone noticing, many close relatives of the Li family had already been planted as spies inside the Spirit Hall.

These people are fiercely loyal to the Li family and will absolutely not betray.

Because the medicinal pills Li Fei gave them are not ordinary.

He will not allow any close relative to betray him.

Whether they are close relatives or outsiders of the Li family, if Li Fei discovers they harbor thoughts of betraying the Li family, he will immediately crush them to death.

The Li family gave you everything, so it can also take everything back.

Not only the Spirit Hall, but also the Tian Dou Empire, the Star Luo Empire, various great kings and small states, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, etc.; any power that recruits fresh blood outwardly has Li Fei's planted spies inside.

These people are various orphans adopted by Li Fei, secretly cultivated for a period, then given medicinal pills to enhance their talent, and then sent to join those powers.

Having these powers cultivate them not only allows reaping benefits like borrowing a chicken to lay eggs, but also enables stabbing in the back at critical moments while observing the target's movements.

These children with high talent and powerful martial souls will definitely be given special cultivation, granting them status, power, and money.

Perhaps not much at first, but later it becomes especially useful.

For example, someone has already sent the information that Pope Bibi Dong and others left the Spirit Hall via a soul-tool phone to Li Fei.

【Patriarch, Bibi Dong has left the Spirit Hall and headed for the Star Dou Great Forest.】

When Li Fei picked up his phone and saw this message, the corner of his mouth instantly curled up, and he murmured, 'The fish has taken the bait.'

"Li Bro, do I really not need to accompany you? But I want to personally avenge my mother."

On the mountaintop, Xiao Wu wore a pink-red robe, her long hair fluttering in the wind, her gaze filled with longing as she looked at Li Fei.

This is a daughter's desire to avenge her mother and wipe away the hatred.

"In my plan, Bibi Dong cannot die yet; I'm taking you there, but I worry you'll act impulsively and kill her."

"Rest assured, I will retrieve your mother's soul ring, soul, and soul bone for you."

"At this time, Bibi Dong will be heavily injured; if you can't help but strike, she will die."

"Rest assured, I promise you that in the future I will give you the chance to personally kill Bibi Dong."

Li Fei reached out his hand, gently stroking Xiao Wu's head, and spoke softly.

His smile carried strong infectious power, leaving Xiao Wu unable to muster even a trace of rebellious feeling.

"I understand, Li Bro; I'll listen to you." Xiao Wu nodded and said.

"Take good care of yourself at home and nurture the fetus; wait for my return."

"I've been hiding for so long; it's time to show my face before Bibi Dong and her people—they'll surely be shocked."

"Hahaha."

Li Fei tore open the void, stepped into it, and vanished from the mountaintop.

Xiao Wu touched her belly where a small life was growing, showed a motherly smile, turned, tiptoed, and leapt down from the mountaintop.

This time, he deliberately released the news of a hundred-thousand-year spirit beast.

That one is actually a hundred-thousand-year spirit soul experimental product from his lab, and moreover a failed product.

Because he didn't personally oversee the whole process, and those people aren't infallible like him, having failed products is quite normal.

However, even if it's a failure, it indeed possesses a hundred-thousand-year cultivation, and its strength is not ordinary.

The difference between spirit souls and spirit beasts, aside from lacking a physical body, is that when killed they do not produce spirit rings or spirit bones.

First let Bibi Dong play with it; after painstakingly killing it, they'll discover no spirit ring bursts out, and no spirit bone appears—by then, Bibi Dong and her companions' expressions will surely be bewildered.

Deep in the western part of the Star Dou Great Forest lies a mysterious ancient sea of trees; under the moonlight's baptism, it resembles a ghost beneath the night curtain.

The rustling of leaves in the forest seems to be recounting ancient legends.

Suddenly, an ancient and powerful aura quietly surged from deep within the forest, shaking the leaves into a rustling sound, as if a galaxy were pouring down. Amid a dense thicket of blooming flowers, a formidable, massive dark-colored mantis stood still, its scythe-like forelimbs flashing with a cold metallic sheen in the moonlight.

This mantis is different; its body appears solid yet exudes an illusory quality, as if formed purely from condensed energy, allowing leaves blown down from the treetops to pass through it unhindered.

Its eyes emanate a tranquil, profound light— the calm and wisdom forged after a hundred-thousand years of tempering.

The surrounding spirit beasts become restless because of its presence, yet the dark mantis seems unaware; its aura is like an abyss, unfathomable, leaving no trace even when the wind passes.

However, when a weak current of air lightly brushes its body, the leaves that should have passed through instead, driven by its will, turn into peerless sharp blades, slicing the air and leaving a string of shining shadows.

This is a spirit body without physical substance, yet it possesses strength nearly matching that of a physical entity; each of its breaths is accompanied by fluctuations of soul power between heaven and earth.

The Star Dou Great Forest returned to tranquility once more; only that dark mantis remained, still silently guarding this ancient sea of trees, as if it were the forest's guardian—lonely yet powerful.

Void Ravager! This is a failed product from the Li family's underground spirit soul research lab.

Because of its form, attributes, and some characteristics.

Li Fei personally gave it this name, which is the same as a hero from a game in his previous life.

It can also be called the Void Mantis.

It commands some void attributes.

It can freely travel through the void.

Even so, it still has some genetic defects.

As long as there are genetic defects, it is not a perfect or successful product; all are classified as failed products.

Because Li Fei wants a spirit soul with absolutely no defects.

Of course, failed products are merely his judgment; if others evaluated them, they'd surely be deemed successful products.

Although it is a failed product, its strength remains considerable.

If it can be subdued and made into a spirit soul, that would also be a great opportunity for spirit masters.

This is a gift Li Fei carefully prepared for Bibi Dong.

The Void Ravager looked ahead, a flash of cold light in its eyes, and rushed forward quickly.

At this moment, under the leadership of his subordinate, Bibi Dong, the White Gold Bishop Salas, Yue Guan, and Gui Mei—four people—are quickly approaching the western depths.

"Stop! Something is approaching."

The aura is very strong; it is very likely a ten-thousand-year soul beast!

Something's off; if you approached, why wasn't the ten-thousand-year soul beast detected?

Yue Guan and Gui Mei's expressions changed, utterly perplexed.

Entrapment?

Everyone had no time to worry about that, immediately forming a formation.

This aura is something only a ten-thousand-year soul beast possesses.

Having absorbed a ten-thousand-year soul ring, Bibi Dong is especially sensitive to the soul power fluctuations of this age, and she spoke directly.

As soon as she spoke, everyone's hearts tightened instantly.

Now the surroundings are dark night, which is disadvantageous for them.

If it were the previous Bibi Dong, perhaps she would still need to rally some people.

But now she already possesses a ten-thousand-year soul ring and is still a ninety-seven rank Super Douluo; with Yue Guan and Gui Mei cooperating, she only needs to unleash the martial soul fusion skill to stall the ten-thousand-year soul beast for a moment, and she is confident she can kill it.
