Chapter 30
Wu Long, Xia Fei, Andre, and Charlie boarded the assault boat left behind by the Black Snake Gang and sailed out of this bizarre spatial zone. Along the way, they didn’t encounter any danger, while that terrifying giant octopus didn’t appear either. It was apparent that everything was under Soma’s control.

There were mixed feelings for this trip to Atlantis. It was great that the Black Snake Gang, the most powerful terrorist organization in the federation, had been eliminated. Most importantly, the Black Snake Gang’s leaders were all wiped out. Without them, the rest of the subordinates wouldn’t be able to create any commotion within a short period. The fate waiting for the Black Snake Gang was them being annexed by other legal and terrorist organizations.

The bad thing was the hundreds of crew members on the Storm Goddess had perished in the ocean. The scholars and researchers were included among the others as it would probably take a lot of effort to settle this entire incident.

However, with the massive tree-like Rothschild Family, these matters didn’t require Xia Fei to be troubled. With their family’s influence, it wouldn’t be challenging to handle this matter. They simply had to issue a consolidated report to the government that the Storm Goddess had sunk in the Atlantic ocean. Apart from the four lucky survivors, the rest of the people were engulfed by the ocean. After paying some compensation to the victims’ families, all major problems would become minor problems, while all minor problems would cease to exist.
Xia Fei had explained the incident at the Beast Spirit Temple to Andre and Wu Long, but he intentionally left out the details of the Heart of Spirit, spatial ring, and the Beast Spirit Codex.
‘If an ordinary man hides a jade, it is a great sin.’ Xia Fei didn’t have enough strength to protect himself, and it was best to be careful about all things.
These three things weren’t going to be beneficial to Wu Long or Andre either way. Xia Fei was planning to find a chance to compensate them.
The universe’s secret manuals and codices were separated into six tiers — the ascending order: Man-tier, earth-tier, heaven-tier, star-tier, universe-tier, and eon-tier.
The first three tiers could be bought with money, but from the star-tier onwards, it wasn’t a money problem. Without enough strength and connections, it would be hard to purchase a star-tier secret manual regardless of wealth.
After all, secret manuals were the core power for all major factions as they were all tightly safeguarded. Only the faction’s core disciples or members could cultivate it in normal situations since it must not be imparted to outsiders.
“How much is this Beast Spirit Codex actually worth?” Xia Fei asked.
