Chapter 6: The Local Tyrant (Part 2)

  In just a short while, a large plate of barbarian beef was eaten clean.

  Qī Yào said with a mouthful, "It's too delicious, hehe, thank you for the treat. Hmm, right, if there's anything I can help with, just let me know, I'll definitely not decline, hehe."

  Lei Xingfeng actually had this idea, with local people who can understand the situation a bit, so although the other party was very overbearing at first, they didn't have a reason to erupt. With their strength, as long as they slightly reveal their power, no one dares to provoke them, unless they simply want to bully people. Of course, Lei Xingfeng wasn't that bored yet.

  Tan Da laughed and said: "Is there any large-scale sect nearby... hmm, a relatively famous powerful sect?"

  "I know of one, but it's very far from here. It's called Bogen Castle, on a large island in Lake Bogen, in the south. If we were to walk there, it would take about 40 or 50 days."

  "Have you been there?"

  Qī Yào spoke with a bitter smile and said: "I can't go there, that's a major sect, without an invitation, who dares to go?"

  With the strength of a hundred-mile radius, he didn't dare to go further, this place was his sphere of influence. After all, his strength was only that of a hundred-wheel master, the lowest level of existence among cultivators, and he didn't even have the qualifications for experience.

  Lei Xingfeng said: "Isn't there any other sect?" He was a bit unbelievable, after all, this is the central area of Wanhu Zhou, how could there be only one large-scale sect?

  "From what I know, this area is just a relatively large sect, and further away it's unknown, there should be many more powerful factions. The central region of Wanhu Zhou is very vast, and for cultivators with lower levels, they rarely move around, haha, just like ordinary people. Only the great sects and high-level cultivators, such as True Person level experts, have the ability and qualifications to travel everywhere. If you want to understand the situation, it's best to find a True Person."

  Lei Xingfeng asked with great interest: "Is there a true master-level expert here?"

  Qī Yào couldn't help but laugh and said, "How is that possible... A true master of the Zhen Ren level wouldn't normally come to a small place like ours with no benefits, the highest here would be a Mì Lún Shī."

  Wu Zhen curled his lip and said: "With two top-notch masters sitting here, why wouldn't a true master come?"

  Qī Yào's words stunned him, he pointed at Léi Xīng Fēng and Tán Dà, his mouth made a "wu li wa la" sound, it was unclear what he said, his face had already turned pale.

  "Alright, don't be surprised or afraid, just relax."

  Qī Yào spoke again, he and his two subordinates stood up, with their hands hanging down, standing in a humble manner. In his lifetime, he had only seen a true master once, but it was from afar, and he didn't dare to approach. He never thought that this time he would be extorting money from a true master himself, which was simply courting death. His heart was racing like a drum, and he said: "Senior, junior is ignorant, please forgive me."

  Lei Xingfeng said: "I said it's nothing, sit down."

  Qī Yào said, not daring to disobey, and sat down carefully, saying: "Yes, senior." He couldn't think of anything more unexpected than this strange encounter, a small, dilapidated roadside shop, where he could meet two real people. This was just too damn lucky.

  Lei Xingfeng said: "Who controls this town? Call him over, I have something to ask."

  "Ah, yes! My senior uncle's name is Wàn Dāo... uh, he's a Mì Lún Shī..." He immediately instructed one of his younger brothers to go and report to his senior uncle, saying: "Go quickly and tell him clearly that there are two seniors here waiting. Don't keep them waiting!" One of the younger brothers by his side immediately ran out of the store.

  In an instant, an old man with a head full of white hair walked in, followed by the person who had gone to inform him. The old man didn't even look clearly at the people in the store before bowing his head and saying: "Wàn Dāo, Mì Lún Shī, I have seen both seniors."

  Qī Yào said as he immediately stood up: "Master Bo."

  Wan Dao gestured for him to stand behind himself, and only then did he look up to see three people in front of him. The person sitting in the middle looked extremely young, seemingly not yet an adult, which shocked him greatly. From their seating arrangement alone, it was clear that these three people were led by the youngest among them, causing Wan Dao's mind to constantly wonder: Could this child be a true expert?

  "Alright, let's get on with it, no need for so much courtesy." He then formally said: "Lei Xingfeng, the True Man of the Great Wheel Seal."

  Tan Da said: "Tan Da, Mi Lun True Man."

  His legs were all soft, he didn't know anything else, but the true body of the Secret Wheel was a one-ring true body, which was nothing to be afraid of. However, the Great Secret Wheel True Body was terrifying, that was a four-ring true body, even for a large sect, this was also a top-notch existence. He couldn't understand why a four-ring true body true person would run to this place.

  Wu Zhen didn't say a word, he really didn't want to sign up, it was too embarrassing, Qian Lun Shi really didn't want to see people.

  "We're just passing by..." said Lei Xingfeng.

  As soon as the words came out, Wan Dao let out a sigh of relief. This was his sphere of influence, with about twenty cultivators, the most powerful being a Mysterious Wheel Master, while the others were all Wan Wheel Masters, Qian Wheel Masters, and mostly Bai Wheel Masters, with many more who had just entered the gate. This kind of ultra-small force would be instantly annihilated by a single True Person, so he had always been very cautious.

  Lei Xingfeng said: "I want to understand the situation here, find a famous large sect, hmm, is there any true master-level expert here?"

  Wan Dao said respectfully: "There is no true master-level expert here, and there are no large sects either. Senior, if there were a large sect here, we wouldn't be able to stay."

  Lei Xingfeng said: "Isn't there a Bao Yuan City?"

  Wan Dao was taken aback and said, "Boluan City is indeed a relatively large sect, but they are in Boluan Lake, very far away... taking a boat to get there would take at least 40 or 50 days, and if we walk, it would be even farther. They won't care about us here."

  Then Wan Dao explained a bit and said, "Of course, we are still the outermost part of Boren City. Every year, Boren City will send people to recruit disciples here, and we must cooperate. As for other things... they won't care."

  Lei Xingfeng found that the controlling power of this world was absolutely weak. Generally, large sects only controlled their own places, and if they were a little farther away, they basically didn't care. This world had vast territories and rich resources, and ordinary people's lives were completely problem-free. For example, in Wanhu Zhou, as long as one was diligent and knew some farming or fishing skills, making a living was not a worry at all. If one was more diligent, they could even live a very comfortable life.

  Tan Da said: "Are you self-taught?"

  Wan Dao said: "I don't count as self-taught, when I was young, I once practiced in a small sect, hehe, as I got older, promotion was hopeless, so I returned to my hometown to retire and also teach disciples."

  There was one thing he didn't say, when he came back that year, he brought several friends and killed a local martial artist to occupy this place. His friends also helped each other to occupy the surrounding small towns, forming a very loose alliance. As long as there were no top-level masters, no one could shake their position. And it was impossible for top-level masters to look down on such a place.

  Lei Xingfeng nodded, he didn't know the cruelty behind it, and even if he did, he wouldn't care. This was just how the world was. He said, "Besides Bo Yuan City, are there any other sects? Ah, yes, those with True Person-level experts."

  Wan Dao said, "Hmm, this area does have a few small schools, and maybe some True Person-level experts. However, even if there are True Person-level experts, they would be kept secret. In these small schools, they would be considered Old Ancestor-level experts. Unless something major happens, they won't appear."

  Lei Xingfeng thought for a moment, and finally decided to go to Bogen City. Even if the Xiaomenpai had a true master-level expert, their vision might not be broad enough. Only large sects would have contact with large forces, and they should know more information.

  He said: "Forget it, let's just go to Poyuan City, these small sects... don't mean much."

  Tan Da also said: "Yes, the small door faction, even if there are true people-level masters, I estimate that they are only one or two rings of true body true people. They should not leave their faction easily. For a small faction, once the true person in charge leaves, their faction will fall into danger. Therefore, these true people's vision will not be too broad."

  Ten thousand knives didn't dare to interrupt, he also didn't bother to clarify the situation, his heart had only one thought, which was to never provoke these three people, everything else was unimportant. He now clearly understood that these three were indeed just passing by and had no intention of occupying this place. As long as he could find a way to muddle through, once they left, it would be safe here. As long as the three men left, he was willing to pay any price. The threat from these three men was too great, it could be said that with just a wave of their hand, they could wipe out this small local tyrant.

  Lei Xingfeng asked: "Right, I need some food, hmm, what's the specialty here?"

  Wan Dao said, "There is food here, this place produces rice, and there are also various fresh fish and river shrimp, water buffalo meat, dried wild duck, the most famous of which is the reed field wild chicken. However, that thing is not easy to catch, it takes a big net and a lot of manpower to catch it. Hehe, I have quite a few at my place, just the other day my disciples organized people to go catch some, and now I have over ten fat and delicious reed field wild chickens."

  Lei Xingfeng nodded and said: "Alright, I'll take them all." Then he added: "Don't worry, I will pay for them."

  Wan Dao didn't want Leixing Peak to pay the money, he was eager to get along with the other party and repeatedly said: "No need, no need to pay, consider it a junior's filial piety!"

  Lei Xingfeng didn't insist, since the other party wanted to give him a ride, he wouldn't necessarily ask for money. He understood what the other party was thinking, anyway there was no conflict with this kind of local tyrant, and he would be happy to have more acquaintances like this. He nodded and said, "Then thank you."

  Wan Dao was taken aback, hastily saying: "No need to thank me, no need to thank me, hehe, Qi Yao Yan, take someone and quickly go prepare the best rice, the best fish and shrimp. Bring everything we have at home, and also, go to the shops in town to find... and prepare a bit more."

  Qī Yào nodded and immediately took two subordinates out.

  Lei Xingfeng suddenly remembered something and said: "Wan Dao, there's something..."
