Chapter 1417: Sneak in for Reconnaissance

The Transverse Mountain.
When Han Fei first came to the Scattered Stars Island, he had been hearing stories about the Transverse Mountain and felt that there must be many secrets hidden in this mountain.
At least, there was a secret that everyone knew: there was a bottomless hole in the Transverse Mountain. As for where that bottomless hole led, no one knew. However, it would produce Spirit Awakening Fluid.
At that time, Han Fei wasn’t even qualified to enter it.
Now that he had already become the supreme commander, he naturally had the right to inspect it.
At this moment, Han Fei was standing at the periphery of this bottomless hole that had a radius of more than 200 meters. There were strange rocks everywhere around it.
Looking down, Han Fei found that the cave could limit the perception of the soul. Therefore, he could see things more clearly with eyes than with perception.
Of course, even if it was slightly clearer, this bottomless hole was unfathomable. In Han Fei’s eyes, it was just darkness below.
At this moment, not far behind Han Fei, Xue Shenqi’s voice sounded, “After many inspections, no one will appear in the underground city if going down from here.”
Han Fei couldn’t help turning his head. “How did you investigate it?”
Xue Shenqi said, “Threw something down and went to the underground city to search for it, but we didn’t find anything. As you know, the underground city is not big, so it doesn’t lead to the underground city here.”
Han Fei shrugged slightly. The supreme commanders of the past had controlled the Scattered Stars Island for so long, but they hadn’t figured out anything yet. How could he have the time to bother with this now?
Immediately, Han Fei changed the topic. “So you think there’s something wrong with this bottomless hole? In order to prevent any problems here, you asked all the explorers on the Scattered Stars Island to live on the Transverse Mountain, right?”
Han Fei knew this when he just came back. After all, he was one of the top powerhouses on the Scattered Stars Island. Many years ago, Han Fei was far from the Explorer level, so he didn’t know this place.
Han Fei’s perception swept across the Transverse Mountain. There were as many as 500 law enforcers and explorers here. Of course, most of them were law enforcers.
Han Fei asked suspiciously, “Is the Transverse Mountain equivalent to a slightly more advanced Empyrean Waterfall?”
Xue Shenqi said indifferently, “You can say that. By staying here, we can collect the Spirit Awakening Fluid that comes from here.”
Han Fei saw a small wisp of Spirit Awakening Fluid floating up from the bottomless hole. His eyelids twitched, but he didn’t say anything to Xue Shenqi, but said to the old turtle, “Can you feel what’s down below?”
The old turtle said, “I’m not omnipotent. My perception can’t go down. However, since Spirit Awakening Fluid can be produced indefinitely here every day, it means that there must be some kind of Great Dao rule, the remains of an expert, or some kind of spiritual treasure below… Otherwise, the Spirit Awakening Fluid won’t be produced inexplicably.”
Han Fei gathered his thoughts and didn’t ask further. Instead, he looked at Xue Shenqi and said, “I’m going to the sea. So I may have to trouble Mr. Xue to cover up for me and help me handle the military affairs on the island.”
Xue Shenqi had said earlier that although he had temporarily resigned as the supreme commander, he wouldn’t let Han Fei mess around. If anything went wrong, he would come forward.
At this time, Xue Shenqi frowned. “Going to sea? Have you figured out the secret of the Empyrean Waterfall?”
Han Fei said, “The Star Turtle said that it would be able to suppress it for three months at most… I haven’t figured out what’s underneath it yet. However, I can tell you one thing very clearly. That king’s corpse can’t make a person break through and become a king.”
Xue Shenqi’s pupils were constricted, and he asked telepathically, “Are you sure?”
Han Fei smiled. “I’ve set up soundproof barriers around us. Zhang Zhihuo and the others can’t hear us.”
Xue Shenqi asked again, “Are you sure? This is not a joke. Whether the corpse below is valuable or not… This matter involves a lot of things.”
Han Fei nodded. “At least for now, I’m very certain, but will there be any special changes after the corpse appears? I don’t know yet.”
Xue Shenqi asked, “What’s down below?”
Han Fei smiled. “Mr. Xue, why don’t you let me keep it a secret for another three months?”
Xue Shenqi looked at Han Fei thoughtfully and didn’t ask further. He simply said, “I can help you with your duty, but I need to know what you’re going to do.”
Han Fei’s lips curled. “There’s nothing to hide. I’m going to pry into the secrets of the Ten Thousand Demon Valley. This matter is urgent. If it weren’t for the corpse under the Empyrean Waterfall, I would have been there.”
Xue Shenqi knew Han Fei’s trump card, but he still frowned and said, “The current Ten Thousand Demon Valley should also have peak combat power of the Venerable realm. Are you sure you can investigate it?”
Han Fei smiled. “Whether or not I can, at least I can ensure my own safety.”
Xue Shenqi wasn’t too worried about Han Fei’s safety.
In his heart, Han Fei was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. If he had to think of a person like Han Fei, Xue Shenqi could only think of Cao Qiu.
Back then, the two of them got together by a fluke.
However, Cao Qiu was still defeated in the compet.i.tion for the Sea Quelling Painting. But so what? Cao Qiu was still a Heavenly Talent.
The Cao Family used the power of the Cao Family to pamper him and pave the way for him. There was news that ever since the boy’s seal was removed, his strength had risen crazily, and he swept across many Thousand Star Proving Grounds and was invincible among his peers.
Han Fei had more powerful people behind him than Cao Qiu. Although Xue Shenqi didn’t know who Han Fei’s mother was, Han Guanshu seemed to only have one son, and it could be said that he had given everything to him.
At this moment, with Han Guanshu and Ning Jing, who was a Half-King, how could anyone kill Han Fei? A Half-King was enough to be called the strongest combat power in the entire Thousand Star City. Her strength was definitely on the same level as that old b * stard from Chu Sect.
Xue Shenqi said indifferently, “If it’s just an investigation, don’t spend too much time. As you know, the Star Turtle can’t last long. This war will break out sooner or later.”
Han Fei said with a smile, “At least three days and at most ten days. I’ll be back within ten days.”
…
Everyone thought that Han Fei was still in the mansion, but he was already 100,000 kilometers away now.
Here, Han Fei took out the Venerable Token. After all, it wasn’t safe to go alone. He had to have a guard.
The moment he took out the Venerable Token, he saw Jing’er walk out of the void with a swish.
At this moment, Jing’er was holding a skewer of roasted squid in her hand. As she ate, she said, “I can perceive your dark mist body. Even without the Venerable Token, I won’t lose you.”
Han Fei grinned. “Is it delicious?”
Jing’er nodded quickly. “I have to say that although the overall strength of your Yin-Yang World isn’t too strong… you really have a lot of food. In the fair, wow… there are so many delicious foods…”
“Blah, blah, blah ~”
Jing’er simply couldn’t stop talking.
Han Fei interrupted her. “Come with me to the sea demons’ camp to take a look. If we’re lucky, I’ll let you experience the smell of a Venerable-level great demon in a few days.”
Han Fei didn’t ask if Old Han was around. Old Han’s whereabouts had always been mysterious!
Since he didn’t stay in the Scattered Stars Prison, G.o.d knew where he usually stayed. However, since he knew about his return, he should know that he went to sea.
One day pa.s.sed.
In the waves of the deep sea, a pair of figures stood on the sea.
Han Fei asked, “Jing’er, what’s the range of perception for peak-level Venerables and Half Kings?”
At this point, Han Fei was stopped by Jing’er. Han Fei immediately guessed what was going on, so he asked this question.
Jing’er thought that Han Fei’s growth was so fast that she couldn’t understand it. She also knew that Han Fei was not a king’s attendant but a candidate for king or even an heir. Therefore, she didn’t keep it a secret.
She said, “For me, when I was in my peak state, my real perception range was actually about 20,000 kilometers. But in addition to perception, there is also a certain premonition, which can also be called intuition. This range may reach 50,000 kilometers… Well, premonition is hard to describe. If someone is particularly hostile to me and has reached the point of obsession, maybe I can detect him more than 50,000 kilometers away. Oh, provided that the person can’t be much stronger than me. Otherwise, even within 20,000 kilometers, the other party has a way to avoid my perception.”
Han Fei’s eyes narrowed slightly. A peak-level Venerable was already at this level? That was 50,000 kilometers! His current perception range was less than 10,000 kilometers.
It was definitely not because his soul was not strong enough, or his talent was not high enough, but because he didn’t live as long as them.
As long as he lived long enough, Han Fei felt that it shouldn’t take him more than a hundred years to double the strength of his soul.
Han Fei took a deep breath. “What about a Half-King’s?”
Ning Jing said, “A Half-King’s…? Well, at least 50,000 kilometers. However, a Half-King’s perception of certain events may cross s.p.a.ce itself. For example, even if something happens 200,000 kilometers away, as long as you want to see it, you can see it. If you plan to go somewhere in advance, although you can’t perceive there, you can directly teleport there. Alas… but you must not appear, and the sound can’t be too loud.. With your dark mist body, even a Half-King won’t easily detect you without deliberately searching. Who would search for a pure darkness in the darkness for no reason?”
