2 This is the real boss.
"Brother, spare me!"
"We were blind and offended you; we deserve to die!"
"Please, spare my life..."
"I have elderly parents to care for and young children to raise..."
The four men kowtowed desperately, trembling with fear.
They're afraid of dying!
In the chaotic world of martial arts, survival is the only way to win!
The noise around him made Xie Feng frown.
Gu Yu saw this and immediately kicked one of his underlings. "What are you howling about? Are you announcing a death? Shut up!"
The four people stopped talking abruptly.
Xie Feng's lips curled up slightly. It's good to have a clever apprentice; he can worry less!
He asked, "Who are you people?"
The four exchanged glances, then hesitantly said, "Sword... Sword Gate..."
Xie Feng raised an eyebrow. "Really? Where is the Sword Gate?"
The four exchanged another glance. "The north..."
"Where in the north? Who is your sect leader? And who was the person who just died from the Sword Gate?"
"This..."
"If you can't even answer this, your background is probably fake, isn't it?"
Xie Feng sneered.
The four men wept and kowtowed, pleading, "Brother, please stop interrogating us! We were imposters! The Sword Gate is one of the three major sects in the north; how could we possibly get in? We only succeeded because we borrowed that powerful name."
Xie Feng rubbed his chin with his fingers, looked up and asked, "Who are the three major sects?"
" Thunder Sect, Moon Sect, and Sword Gate!"
A Ling asked, " Thunder Sect? Is he skilled in lightning power? Is he very strong?"
The younger brother said, "The strongest of the three major sects is the Thunder Sect!"
Xie Feng smiled knowingly, "Since this Thunder Sect is so strong, why don't you choose to impersonate Thunder Sect?"
The underlings smiled wryly, "We know our own limitations. At least we can pretend to be from the Sword Gate, but the Thunder Sect... just mentioning that name sends chills down our spines!"
Xie Feng looked directly at them. "There's a Soul Battle in Lingnan City, you know?"
"I know! I know!"
Will Thunder Sect participate?
"Meeting!"
"Who?"
"Elder Thunder Sect!"
What's your name?
" Lei Lian!"
Xie Feng asked a question, and his underlings answered.
Gu Yu couldn't stand it anymore and kicked three of them to the ground. "What the hell are you doing, trying to squeeze toothpaste out of me?! Just tell me everything you know!"
Intimidated by his power, his underlings became increasingly obedient, saying, " Lei Lian is the Grand Elder of the Thunder Sect, holding a very high position. He has cultivated his lightning abilities to an unparalleled level. In a fit of rage, he once used lightning to destroy nine powerful forces, making him a force to be reckoned with throughout the world! He is a favorite to win the championship!"
Xie Feng squinted and said to A Ling, "Judging from this, if this person joins the battle, he will still be a problem for us."
A Ling glanced at him and said in a deep voice, "I am of the lightning attribute, and I am very adept at using the power of lightning!"
"Even if they weren't of the same attribute, with your cultivation level alone, Sister Ling, you could easily crush countless people, right? Speaking of which... your cultivation level is very mysterious; I can't see through it at all."
Xie Feng smiled slightly.
He's been testing A Ling!
I want to know about this girl, who may be from the Tenth Universe —her identity, origin, and cultivation level...
A Ling is also smart; she says what she should say and just laughs off what she shouldn't.
Sure enough, she smiled again and gave a vague reply.
Xie Feng thought to himself, "She's really clever; her words and actions are absolutely flawless!"
He shook his head secretly.
Just then, a thin, short figure darted in front of the crowd like a monkey. He put his hands on his hips, pointed at Xie Feng, and shouted, "You audacious thief, release my brother at once!"
This was a boy, dressed in tattered clothes, his hair was a messy, tangled mess at the back, and his bangs looked like parted weeds. He had a youthful face and looked about fifteen or sixteen years old.
Upon hearing this, the underlings kneeling on the ground turned around and cried out, "Boss!!"
They regarded them as family, and tears streamed down their faces.
Gu Yu walked out, his tall and imposing figure looking down at the thin and short boy.
"Kid, you looking for trouble?"
He squinted, his face darkening, like a bandit.
Upon seeing him, the boy's imposing manner instantly vanished, replaced by a timid expression. "B-Big brother, let's talk this out..."
Gu Yu turned to the side, pointed at Xie Feng, and said, "This is the real elder brother!"
Xie Feng waved to him, smiling kindly, "Kid, come here."
The boy's smile did not ease his tension; instead, it made him feel uneasy.
I always felt there was a hidden dagger in that smile...
Xie Feng said, " Gu Yu, don't be so violent. We should be kind to others. Young man, tell me, what's your background?"
The boy hesitated for a moment, but unable to withstand the murderous glares from Gu Yu and Yao Cang on either side, he quickly confessed everything:
"My name is Xu Fei. As for my background, there's nothing special about me. I lost both my parents when I was young, and I have no other relatives. I was just a homeless child. Because I have some cultivation, I took in a few followers."
Upon hearing this, Xie Feng thought to himself: The Beggars' Sect.
"By the way, where's the second one?...?"
The boy turned his head and saw the Yellow Hair youth's corpse. His vision blurred, and he collapsed to the ground, staring at Xie Feng in horror. "You killed the second brother?!"
Xie Feng said, "I have a question for you."
Xu Fei glared at him. "What's the problem?"
"Shouldn't a life be paid for a life?"
"Should!"
"Okay, now you've told me your answer, so this person's death was his own fault."
Xie Feng's gaze was cold.
Xu Fei looked into the distance and saw Qi Zhen's corpse.
Being as clever as he was, he immediately understood the reason.
"Did the second brother kill that person?"
"Good."
"..."
Xu Fei fell silent.
At this moment, Gu Yu grabbed his shoulder and pulled him up. "This isn't over yet! Are you trying to collect tolls? You're practically charging the King of Hell himself, you know that?"
Xu Fei immediately waved his hand, forcing a fawning smile, "Brother, we were blind to your greatness, how could we dare to accept your toll! I have a bag of gold coins here, take it, consider it a sign of your magnanimity!"
As he spoke, he handed over a cloth bag.
Heavy.
Gu Yu turned around and glanced at Xie Feng.
Xie Feng nodded.
Gu Yu accepted the bag of gold coins and let go of it.
Xie Feng stood up and said, "This matter is settled here. You may leave."
Xu Fei and his underlings exchanged glances. Xu Fei said, "
Hurry up!
The henchmen took off running.
Xu Fei stood frozen in place, motionless!
He rolled his eyes twice, then asked curiously, "Where are you all headed, brothers and sisters? Judging from your extraordinary bearing, you must be from major sects. I know the Sixth Universe very well; I know exactly where you're going!"
Xie Feng and the others exchanged glances. Xie Feng said, " Lingnan City, do you know it?"
"I know them well! I know them very well! I grew up in a village outside Lingnan City! I heard that the Northern Spirit Emperor is going to hold Soul Battle there. Are you all going to participate? I can lead the way!"
Xu Fei's eyes lit up.
Yao Cang frowned and said, "Why do I always feel like you have ulterior motives? Why are you trying to get close to us?"
