Chapter 1256: Chapter 1256: The Fierce Man, Wang Laoqi

Hearing the “mom and grandma” comment from the Zhang Fei-like giant, Wang Yueyao couldn’t help but glance at Ye Fei, only to find him looking back at her. She gave him a mischievous smile, but then her pretty face turned red first.

The menacing guy, upon hearing the word “house rules,” was so scared that he knelt in front of the giant, Zhang Fei, losing all his previous ferocity. He pleaded with a mouth full of holes, “Big boss, spare my life!”

Zhang Fei ignored him completely and directly instructed the other bandits, “Take him back. Also, since you didn’t stop your brother when he broke the rules, you’re all at fault too. Each of you will receive a hundred lashes when we get back!”

The bandits all shouted in agreement, picked up the dazed and terrified menacing guy, and left in a hurry.

After the bandits were gone, Zhang Fei turned to Ye Fei and Wang Yueyao and said, “This time, it was my brother who broke the rules first. As compensation, we won’t rob you. You can go.” With that, he turned around and was about to leave.

Hearing Zhang Fei’s words, Ye Fei couldn’t help but feel both amused and frustrated. Not robbing them was considered compensation? But thinking about it, from Zhang Fei’s perspective, it made sense.

After all, to an outsider, Ye Fei seemed to have no cultivation at all, and Wang Yueyao was just at the so-called Golden Pill stage, which wasn’t considered a high-level cultivator.

Ye Fei and Wang Yueyao wanted to find out about the passage between the two worlds. Now that they had encountered someone who seemed to have some influence, they naturally wouldn’t let this opportunity slip away.

So, Ye Fei called out to Zhang Fei, who was about to leave, “Brother, wait a moment.”

Perhaps feeling a bit guilty, Zhang Fei’s attitude towards Ye Fei and Wang Yueyao was still quite decent. He stopped, turned around, and asked, “What else do you want?”

“I’m Ye Fei, and this is my wife, Wang Yueyao. We have some things we’d like to ask you,” Ye Fei said with a respectful salute.

Seeing Ye Fei’s politeness, Zhang Fei’s expression softened even more. He smiled and said, “So your wife’s surname is Wang. We’re actually from the same family. My name is Wang Qi, also known as the fierce man, Wang Laoqi. I’m the leader of Black Wind Fort around here. What do you want to know? There’s nothing within hundreds of miles that I don’t know about.”

“I just want to ask how to get to the headquarters of the Cuiyan Sect,” Ye Fei said straightforwardly. Originally, he had planned to go to Muxue City to find out, but then he thought it would be better to go directly to the Cuiyan Sect’s headquarters.

After all, a major sect that controlled tens of thousands of square miles must have very reliable information.

Wang Qi’s eyes widened as he looked at Ye Fei and Wang Yueyao. “You’re also heading to Cuiyan City? It’s extremely dangerous right now. You’re both so young; you shouldn’t get involved in this.”

“I’m fifty-nine years old,” Wang Yueyao said somewhat indignantly. She had already been annoyed by the menacing guy calling her a “little girl” earlier, and now Wang Qi was also calling her young and looking down on her, which made her even more uncomfortable.

Hearing Wang Yueyao reveal her age, Wang Qi’s eyes widened even more. “I could tell you were young, but I didn’t expect you to be this young. Hmm, you haven’t even come of age yet, but you’re already at the Golden Pill stage. It seems your talent is exceptional, young lady.”

What kind of situation is this? Ye Fei and Wang Yueyao’s minds were instantly filled with countless expletives.

Wang Yueyao was already fifty-nine years old! Although her physical age was stuck at thirty, her mature demeanor and her sexy, curvaceous figure made her a beautiful mature woman. Yet, in Wang Qi’s eyes, she was still a minor.

However, since they weren’t familiar with Wang Qi yet, asking about this directly could easily make him suspicious of their origins. So, Ye Fei forcibly suppressed his doubts and continued the previous topic. “Since Cuiyan City is the headquarters of the Cuiyan Sect, it should be very orderly. Why do you say it’s dangerous?”

“Usually, it’s one thing; now, it’s another. Right now, the leader of the Cuiyan Sect, Yin Hanyan, is arranging a husband for one of her genius disciples. This genius disciple is not only as beautiful as a flower but has also reached the Soul Fusion stage just after coming of age. So, almost everyone in the entire Zhenxu Realm who is qualified will go there,” Wang Qi explained.

Hearing Wang Qi’s explanation, the two of them understood. Since all sorts of people would rush to Cuiyan City, and each of them was a master, there would naturally be some with bad tempers.

For a while, even the Cuiyan Sect might find it hard to control the situation. It would indeed be unsafe for those with lower strength to go there.

However, Ye Fei also picked up on something from Wang Qi’s words. The so-called “Soul Fusion stage” he mentioned wasn’t mentioned by Li沧Hai when he talked about the cultivation world. Could it be that this place wasn’t the cultivation world after all?

This was a big question. To confirm, Ye Fei asked, “Brother Wang, is there a sect called the Wujimen in this Zhenxu Realm?”

“Of course there is. Wujimen, like the Cuiyan Sect, is one of the ten major forces in the Zhenxu Realm,” Wang Qi said, looking at Ye Fei strangely. “Don’t you guys know this?”

“We come from a very remote place. Our family never told us anything about the outside world. A few days ago, Yueyao and I got married, so we sneaked out to see the world without telling our family. It’s laughable, isn’t it?” Ye Fei made up a story on the spot. Fortunately, Wang Qi was a straightforward person and didn’t see through his lie.

After that, Ye Fei continued to chat with Wang Qi, who had a good impression of him. Plus, since Wang Yueyao shared the same surname, he wasn’t impatient at all.

Through some indirect questioning, Ye Fei finally got a general understanding of the Zhenxu Realm from Wang Qi. In short, it was a world of cultivators and indeed the same world that Li Canghai and Jia Jingwen originally came from.

The cultivation levels here, from lowest to highest, were: Physical Training, Qi Refining, Golden Pill, Infant Soul, Soul Leaving, Soul Merging, Heaven Tribulation, and Great Perfection. Among them, the Soul Leaving, Soul Merging, and Heaven Tribulation stages were collectively referred to as the Soul Fusion Realm (to echo the previous text, this is made up; cultivation experts, please don’t delve into it too much!), which was why Ye Fei had been confused before.

The current Zhenxu Realm was controlled by ten major forces, collectively known as “One Palace, Two Mansions, Three Gates, Four Sects.”

The One Palace referred to the Nuwa Palace, whose people claimed to be descendants of the ancient great god Nuwa.

The Two Mansions were the General’s Mansion and the Wenchang Mansion, which were originally subordinates of the Nuwa Palace but later broke away and became major forces in their own right.

The Three Gates were the Cuiyan Gate, Wujimen, and Changge Gate. The Four Sects were the Ye Ling Sect, Qinglian Sect, Tianfa Sect, and Tian’e Sect.

Each of these ten major forces controlled an area of tens of thousands of square miles centered around their headquarters.

In addition to these, there were countless other large and small sects dividing up the areas that the ten major forces couldn’t reach.

After hearing all this, Ye Fei and Wang Yueyao couldn’t help but whistle in amazement. The area of the Zhenxu Realm was simply much larger than that of Earth.
