Chapter 54: Third Entry into the Evil Dragon Space
“Venerable Sir, why have you returned?” Mino, dressed impeccably in a white shirt and vest, greeted him with a stiff smile.
Xia Feng said calmly, “You failed to kill Yan Xujia and thus did not fulfill the conditions I set. I have no choice but to return and continue your game.”
The bartender was speechless.
Xia Feng leisurely sat down at the bar, “Oh, by the way, why didn’t you return with the God’s Calamity Society?”
Seeing this, Mino quickly replied, his voice sincere, “Venerable Sir, my relationship with them was merely a cooperative one, and now that we’ve had the opportunity to arrive in the real world, I naturally have no desire to return to the Gray Realm.”
“Oh, I see.” Xia Feng nodded thoughtfully, tapped the table, and said in a deep voice, “Alright then, enough pleasantries, let’s start the game. I find your Calamity Wine game quite interesting, I like it very much.”
“You really like it?! Who wants your liking, you idiot!” Mino cursed inwardly and quickly spoke up, “Venerable Sir, wait! How about this, aren’t you curious about who caused the breach in the Boundless Realm? I actually know some inside information.”
“Oh?”
Xia Feng was slightly suspicious. Although he was no longer very interested in this matter, he also thought that since the mastermind had dug into the Boundless Realm, there must be a lot of Boundless Stones. He nodded, “Tell me about it.”
Seeing that there was still room for negotiation, Mino breathed a sigh of relief and said in a deep voice, “Since my relationship with the God’s Calamity Society was only one of cooperation, I don’t know much. However, I do know who the院长 of Pingshan Hospital is.”
“The院长?” Xia Feng nodded. Pingshan Hospital was the base for stealing Boundless Stones, and the院长’s identity was definitely a key clue.
“All traces of the staff at Pingshan Hospital have been erased, but when I descended here before, I happened to find a leftover work pass.”
As Mino spoke, he took out a blue card from a drawer and pushed it towards Xia Feng.
Xia Feng took it with a frown. The information on it made his pupils involuntarily widen.
[Name: Uncle Wei]
[Position: Pingshan Hospital院长]
The work pass seemed to have been sliced by a sharp knife, the cut was neat, and only half of the person’s face was visible in the photo, but it was still clear that it was the face of Uncle Wei.
Xia Feng furrowed his brow, closed his eyes, and tapped the table in thought. It was completely beyond his expectation that Old Wei was involved in this matter.
However, on second thought, it seemed reasonable.
To use so much manpower and resources to openly destroy the Boundless Realm without being discovered by the public or sanctioned by the Holy Department, such a power that could cover the sky and blot out the sun, there was only one person in the entire District 51.
Earl Lister, the hereditary Earl of the Hydrangea Family!
And the Six-Tails Sect, as Earl Lister’s lackey—no, a confidant force—would naturally be involved in the secret operation to destroy the Boundless Realm.
Xia Feng couldn’t help but recall that he had asked Uncle Wei about Pingshan Hospital before. That cunning old man had looked at him with genuine concern and asked if a friend was hospitalized.
He was truly good at acting.
However, such a thing indeed could not be told to him. After clearing his thoughts, Xia Feng shook his head, “Forget it, this is not my business. Whatever happens, happens.”
“Venerable Sir, you see…”
“Alright, I won’t play the game this time.” Xia Feng waved his hand. There was no need to fight Mino to the death, as he might still be useful in the future.
“Find a remote, deserted place and let me leave.”
The nervous Mino instantly breathed a sigh of relief.
The main body of the Calamity Beast was in a different dimension that overlapped with the real world, so their method of movement was special—by moving in the different dimension, the area covered by the Calamity Realm could be synchronized in the real world.
However, the energy consumed for each movement was enormous, so Calamity Beasts were generally too lazy to move.
But now was not a general situation.
Mino opened a portal for the Spade Person with a sincere smile, “Esteemed guest, welcome again~” Xia Feng nodded and stepped through the portal.
The moment he stepped over the threshold, the portal behind him closed in an instant.
As Xia Feng sensed it, he vaguely felt the fluctuation of Calamity Force fleeing north at the speed of light, disappearing without a trace.
“He runs pretty fast,” Xia Feng’s eyes twitched slightly.
Thinking of this, and seeing that there was no one around, he was about to walk out of the alley when he suddenly heard a sound of breaking wind.
“Little Niece Mu, alas, I finally found you! Where have you been?” Chen Xingdao’s deep voice rang out.
“I’m sorry to have worried you, Uncle Chen,” Mu Qingtong replied softly and apologetically, speaking at a moderate pace, “I was hiding in the anti-calamity cave over there. I only came out when I saw it was safe outside.”
“That’s good, that’s good.”
“Did you see Xia Feng?” Freya’s voice was a little anxious.
As soon as she finished speaking, a black-haired young man ran around the corner, “I’m here! I’m here!”
Xia Feng ran up to them, wiped the sweat from his brow, patted his chest, and shook his head with lingering fear, his voice still somewhat shaken, “That was so scary, so scary! There were so many Calamity Eaters, luckily I ran fast~”
Mu Qingtong: “…”
!
Seeing that Xia Feng was safe, Freya breathed a sigh of relief, but her expression immediately turned serious, “Where did you run off to this time? You made Teacher worry so much looking for you.”
“…Sorry, sorry.” Xia Feng truly felt apologetic this time. He hadn’t expected Freya to care so much about him.
After thinking for a moment, he explained earnestly, “Teacher Freya, I was hiding in the anti-calamity cave over here. When I saw it was safe outside, I came out. I didn’t expect to encounter a large wave of Calamity Eaters, like zombies, as soon as I opened the door.”
“You two have great luck,” Daoist Chen said, shaking his head and sighing, “If the Spade Person hadn’t swallowed all the Calamity Force this time, and the Red Spade Person hadn’t swept away the Calamity Eaters outside your anti-calamity cave, you might have really lost your lives here.”
“Yes, yes, I saw it too! The Spade Person was so cool!” Xia Feng exclaimed in amazement, then said excitedly, “From now on, he’s my idol!”
Mu Qingtong closed her eyes. She suddenly realized she had a weakness, which was that her skin wasn’t as thick as this idiot’s.
“Alright, enough small talk,” Freya interjected at the right time, “To clear out the remaining calamities, Blood Calamity Street will be completely sealed. We’ll escort you out of here first.”

Back home, after charging his phone, Xia Feng discovered that Mushroom had called him countless times. He quickly called Mushroom back to let her know he was safe, and then he finally felt at ease.
After showering and quickly eating dinner, he began to set up a formation.
It had been almost a week since he had last entered the Evil Dragon Space, and he missed it dearly.
A portal unfolded, and he stepped through.
Looking around, the Evil Dragon Space was the same as always. The World Tree’s canopy covered the sky and blotted out the sun. The pale dragon in the center of the trunk still held its majestic head high, with eternal Azure Flame swirling around it.
Black Crow opened her eyes. Her mature, alluring voice held a hint of displeasure, “You haven’t come in for so long, I thought you had died out there.”
“Ms. Black Crow, it’s not good to curse me like that,” Xia Feng said with a light laugh as he approached.
“Hmm…? Wait a minute.” Black Crow’s vertical pupils suddenly sharpened.
Xia Feng stopped in surprise, “What’s wrong?”
*Flap, flap—*
Black Crow flapped her black feathers, jumped down from the branch, circled Xia Feng, and finally stopped, her voice a little suspicious, “As I thought, there’s a disgusting aura of the Life Star God on you!”
She stared at Xia Feng with her deep vertical pupils, “Have you been noticed by the Life Star God?”
