Han Fei knew that he couldn’t pretend anymore.
If he had known this would happen, he would have been calmer and done it better.
Han Fei stopped pretending and spread his hands. “Okay, enough talking. Tell me, who are you? Where are you from?”
The big turtle said leisurely, “I am the ancient Yuan Emperor. Pay attention to what you say. As for where I come from? Heh, even if I tell you, you don’t know… If you hadn’t practiced the Demon King Contract I left behind, do you think I would have come?”
Han Fei sneered. “You seem quite willing! Let me think about it. I’m a bit confused… Huh, are you going to give me strength? And you’re going to give me eternal life… Come on, give me some first.”
The big turtle: “…”
Han Fei sneered. “Look, you broke your word. Give me strength? If it weren’t for the fact I lacked some strength, I wouldn’t have used your Demon King Contract.”
Although Han Fei said that, his mind was racing. It seemed that this old turtle had a powerful background! The Demon King Contract was a venerable-level secret technique. Whoever could create such a secret technique had to be at least a Venerable.
Besides, this old turtle kept calling itself “Emperor”. Was he really an “emperor”? But that didn’t sound right! He had never heard of the “emperor” realm. Could there be an “emperor” above the “king” realm?
But then he realized that something was wrong.
The king realm was just a name. The real realm was Sea Expansion. Above that was the sky opening, right?
Emperor? Beast Emperor…
Han Fei couldn’t help but say, “Big turtle, I don’t care who you are or how strong you used to be… However, you are in my territory now. If you are of no value to me, then we will still fall out in the future. Therefore, you have to tell me some useful things. For example, what are the realms above the Sea Expansion Realm? Which level are the emperors? Where are you from? Do you have any way to obtain power… I don’t have many problems. Anyway, we have a long time to come.”
If looks could kill, Han Fei felt that he would have been killed by the big scarlet eyes of the big turtle.
However, at this moment, he didn’t panic at all.
This turtle should be a strong master. If he used it well, he might have one more helper in the future.
The old turtle said in a low voice, “Didn’t your parents tell you not to be too curious? You are only a peak-level law enforcer. What’s the use of asking about realms above the king level? As for the emperor level, it’s a level that’s beyond your imagination.”
Han Fei sneered. “Are you sure you’re talking to me like this? Can’t you see that I’m going to be a king?”
The big turtle gnashed its teeth. It probably wanted to swallow the narcissistic Han Fei in one bite.
However, under the eaves, he had to lower his head. He said leisurely, “Boy, even if you have the bearing of a king, you have to transcend the small heavenly tribulation first. As for the realm you mentioned, a king establishes the sea, an emperor opens up the sky, a monarch lives forever, and a god fuses with the Dao. Every realm has infinite contents. Even if you know the realms well now, so what? You can’t understand them at all, it will only increase your burden.”
Han Fei’s heart did a flip. F*ck! There are still so many realms to go! I’m still so far away from becoming a king. When will I reach the Explorer and Venerable realm?
Han Fei couldn’t help but ask, “Are you really an Emperor?”
The big turtle immediately roared, “Of course! Brat, return my Great Dao to me… Roar…”
Han Fei couldn’t help sighing and glanced at the Demon Purification Pot. Wow, this pot can even eat the Great Dao of others. Where is the Demon Purification Pot from? Isn’t it too powerful?
Han Fei knew very little about the Demon Purification Pot. Under normal circumstances, in addition to the need for it during deduction, there was also Forge the Universe where things could be placed. Except for those, it didn’t seem to be useful.
Refining? I’ve acquired the Hundred War Divine Hammer. As long as I have enough materials, refining Divine Weapons is a piece of cake for me.
Han Fei said in disdain, “Hey, hey! Stop yelling. You want to swallow me, don’t you? If you don’t swallow me, how can your Dao be gone? It’s all your fault. Now tell me where you come from…”
Han Fei was about to continue to talk with this big turtle, when he suddenly stumbled and a voice sounded in his mind, “Han Fei, wake up.”
“Brat.”
Pa! Pa! Pa!
In the void, Han Fei felt that his head was buzzing as if he was being slapped.
With a flash in front of his eyes, a dazzling light shone into his eyes.
When Han Fei opened his eyes, he saw a plain-looking village girl and an old man with a wrinkled face staring at him. And the old man even wanted to slap him.
Han Fei hurried to stop him. “Wait, who are you?”
The old man yelled, “Do you not know who I am?”
“Huh? Old Jiang?”
Old Jiang snorted. “At least you have a conscience. I worked so hard to get you out.”
Han Fei glanced at the village girl again and took a breath. “Jiuyin Ling?”
Jiuyin Ling nodded with a smile, as if she had been worried sick.
Han Fei sat up with a swish. “Old Jiang, where are we? What about the Thousand Star City? What about Old Han, Ren Tianfei, and our unreliable patriarch?”
Old Jiang was about to slap him again. “Who do you call an unreliable patriarch? It’s Patriarch Thug.”
Han Fei remembered the patriarch who had become a big skeleton and sighed. “I thought he was the Demon King… Where is Old Han?”
Old Jiang said, “You don’t have to worry about that. The situation in the Thousand Star City is very complicated. Your father ran away, so did Patriarch Thug and Ren Tianfei.”
Han Fei immediately breathed a sigh of relief. “That’s good. Hey, Old Jiang, what’s going on here? Why did you suddenly start the war with the big clans? Why did you ask us to go to the Thousand Star City?”
Old Jiang clicked his tongue. “It’s mainly because we want you to be bait! We were going to wait a few years before launching this revenge war. Who knew that you would cause such a great uproar just a few days after you left… Now you can even kill an Explorer?”
Han Fei automatically ignored the latter half of Old Jiang’s words and stared at Old Jiang. “Be bait? Why?”
Old Jiang said triumphantly, “First of all, it’s naturally for revenge. After all, we have to avenge the Thug Academy. We have to settle accounts with those big clans and make them remember that the Thug Academy is not to be trifled with.”
The corner of Han Fei’s mouth twitched, and he muttered in his heart, This is the typical style of villains! The avengers shocked the world and killed three Venerables in one day. Half of the strong masters in the Thousand Star City were killed.
However, this didn’t matter. After all, those big clans didn’t care about anything. All they knew was how to make money, and how to go to the Heavenly Palace.
Han Fei couldn’t help but ask, “What about the second purpose?”
Old Jiang snorted. “Besides taking revenge, we’ll also smooth out the obstacles for you and kill some of them first! Otherwise, it won’t be easy for you to enter the Heavenly Palace. The main reason is that there are too many strong masters. If we don’t take the opportunity to kill some of them, it will be very difficult for you to have any chance in the future. You have attracted all their attention. Do you really think that if you can really become a king, those Venerables can leave you alone? Of course they will find a way to kill you.”
Han Fei was speechless. “Are you not afraid that I’ll really be killed?”
Old Jiang waved his hand. “On the path of cultivation, who doesn’t have no disasters? You’ve passed them, haven’t you?”
Han Fei: “…”
Old Jiang said leisurely, “As for the third point!”
Han Fei’s eyes widened. “There’s a third point?”
Old Jiang smiled contemptuously. “Do you think we did all these just for fun?”
Old Jiang said proudly, “After this battle, the Thirty-Six Towns and the level-three fishery belong to us. With the death of the venerables, no matter how bold they are, they won’t dare to leave the Thousand Star City. If they dare to come out, I guarantee that their home will be gone.”
Han Fei: “…”
Old Jiang smiled and said, “The fourth point is to send Patriarch Thug to the Monument of Gods by the way. This matter has been settled.”
The corner of Han Fei’s mouth twitched. “Is there still a fifth?”
Old Jiang said, “Isn’t the fifth trying to save you?”
Han Fei rolled his eyes. Compared to these old foxes, I’m too simple-minded.
However, Han Fei thought of something. “Patriarch Thug went to the Monument of Gods? Why? To go to the Heavenly Palace?”
Han Fei knew that there was a controller of the Heavenly Palace in the Central Holy City, who was also a Venerable! Even without that controller, the Central Holy City still had a killing array.
Old Jiang said proudly, “To go to the Heavenly Palace, of course. The real body of Patriarch Thug is still in the Heavenly Palace. Otherwise, do you think Patriarch Thug only has this little combat power? If his corpse was here, he would kill at least two more Venerables. Oh… That’s not right. If his corpse was here, Cao Tianzhi of the Cao Family wouldn’t sit by and watch, and the master of the Heavenly Sword wouldn’t have taken action… Even if I told you, you wouldn’t understand. As long as Patriarch Thug can fuse with his corpse, his strength will definitely increase again.”
Han Fei’s eyelids twitched. “So Junior Uncle Faceless has always been Patriarch Thug?”
Old Jiang curled his lips. “Sometimes he is, sometimes not. You don’t have to worry about that. After this battle, those big clans should have behaved themselves a little. In the coming years, you can consolidate your strength. Your improvement is indeed too fast. It doesn’t make sense…”
Han Fei was stunned. “Where are Le Renkuang and Zhang Xuanyu?”
Old Jiang said leisurely, “When you reach the Law Enforcer realm, everyone should have their own path. You can’t be together forever. You should have discovered from this battle that when your strength makes a breakthrough too quickly, their role becomes dispensable. So they have to improve their strength!”
Han Fei asked, “What about Old Han?”
Old Jiang said angrily, “You have too many questions. He is a Venerable. How do I know where he is?”
Han Fei said, “Last question. Where did the Thug Academy get so many faceless strong masters? So many explorers are all from the Thug Academy? Is the Thug Academy that strong?”
Old Jiang stared at Han Fei for a while. “So, you still need to gain experience. Do you think it’s possible those people are all from the Thug Academy? The big clans, the seven sects, and the itinerant cultivators all have a grudge against the big clans. There are more than one or two people who want to overthrow them. If there is such a chance, do you think they will take action or not?”
“Hiss!”
Han Fei took a deep breath. He understood everything!
