Chapter 1258: Chapter 1258: Arriving at Cuiyan City

Although he no longer underestimated Ye Fei, Wang Qi, who had already regarded him as a friend, still couldn’t help but worry. “Brother, would you mind if I test your strength a bit?” he asked.

“Sure,” Ye Fei replied with a nonchalant smile, exuding an air of confidence.

Wang Qi immediately channeled less than one percent of his true energy and struck Ye Fei with a palm. Ye Fei casually raised his palm to meet the attack, and unsurprisingly, neither of them was affected.

Since this light strike couldn’t reveal Ye Fei’s true strength, Wang Qi gradually increased the force of his attacks. He started with less than one percent of his true energy and slowly increased it to ten percent, then twenty, thirty, fifty…

When Ye Fei effortlessly withstood a strike with seventy percent of Wang Qi’s strength, Wang Qi finally felt reassured. He then unleashed a full-force attack with a roar.

After a thunderous “boom,” Ye Fei remained standing firm, while Wang Qi was sent flying backward hundreds of meters, nearly falling to the ground.

Far from being upset about his defeat, Wang Qi flew back excitedly and laughed, “Brother, your physical strength and toughness are probably on par with those of a Great Perfection cultivator who has undergone the Heavenly Tribulation. How did you achieve this?”

“I didn’t train for it. I was born this way,” Ye Fei replied. Naturally, he couldn’t tell Wang Qi that his body had been tempered by thousands of heavenly thunders; that would be too shocking.

“Truly, there are extraordinary people everywhere in this world,” Wang Qi sighed, shaking his head. Then he suggested, “Brother Ye, how about I accompany you guys there?”

“But didn’t you say you didn’t want to get involved in this?” Ye Fei asked, puzzled.

Wang Qi chuckled, “That was before. Things are different now. You have a real chance of winning. If you succeed, you’ll be the son-in-law of the Cuiyan Sect. As your brother, I’d benefit from that too, right?”

Although Wang Qi’s words sounded a bit opportunistic, Ye Fei appreciated his straightforwardness and laughed, “If I do succeed, I can get you into the Cuiyan Sect. That’s better than staying here as a bandit leader.”

However, Wang Qi shook his head, “No way. My goal is to unify all the bandits in the world. I can’t give up being a bandit leader. Supporting you is just a way to find a powerful ally.”

Ye Fei and Wang Yueyao exchanged glances, thinking that Wang Qi’s ambition was truly “far-reaching.” However, everyone has their aspirations.

Judging from his character and the “three rules” he had set, if he really could lead all the bandits, it might be a good thing for those who were being robbed.

Whether he could achieve this was another matter, considering the Zhenxu Realm was much larger than Earth and a world where the strong ruled. There must be countless bandits.

After Ye Fei agreed to go with him, Wang Qi took out a sound-transmitting talisman and mumbled a lot, basically instructing his second-in-command about some matters.

After crushing the talisman, he produced a small sword from somewhere and threw it into the sky. The sword instantly transformed into a giant sword, over ten feet long and two feet wide, floating in the air.

“Brother Ye, since you don’t have true energy and your sister-in-law’s cultivation is low, why don’t you guys get on my flying sword? It’ll be faster,” Wang Qi invited after summoning the sword.

Ye Fei, always willing to take the easy way out, immediately took Wang Yueyao’s hand and jumped onto the flying sword with Wang Qi.

Wang Qi then activated the sword with his true energy, and it quickly ascended and flew towards the northeast.

Standing on the flying sword, Ye Fei observed that its speed was even faster than that of an airplane in the original world. Thanks to Wang Qi’s true energy protection, there was no strong wind hitting them despite the high speed.

Although this speed was far from Ye Fei’s instantaneous teleportation, it was still quite leisurely. It felt as if they were flying alone in the sky, which was quite an enjoyable experience. It seemed that this cultivation world did have its merits.

With Wang Qi’s flying sword, it took them just over two hours to cover the distance of over eight thousand li and arrive outside Cuiyan City.

From a distance, Cuiyan City was over two hundred li in circumference, much larger than Wanghai. Unlike cities on Earth that were filled with steel jungles, Cuiyan City was very close to nature and looked exceptionally beautiful.

As they approached, Wang Qi said while lowering the flying sword, “Generally, larger cities don’t allow people to fly overhead. If discovered, it would be considered a provocation, not to mention a main city like Cuiyan City.”

Ye Fei and Wang Yueyao nodded in understanding. Wang Qi continued, “When we enter the city, sister-in-law, you’d better cover your face. These days, the city is full of all sorts of people. With your beauty that rivals Song Fairy’s, although Brother Ye is powerful and doesn’t need to worry, it’s still better to avoid unnecessary trouble.”

“That’s a good idea,” Wang Yueyao agreed, took a veil from Ye Fei, and covered her face, leaving only the part above her nose exposed.

Even so, after they landed, Wang Yueyao’s alluring figure still attracted quite a few glances. Fortunately, with Wang Qi, a Soul Fusion cultivator, by their side, they were not considered a vulnerable group, and no accidents occurred.

Cuiyan Sect’s territory was in the southwest of the Zhenxu Realm, and Ye Fei and the others were approaching through the south gate, which was usually the least crowded.

Even so, the city gate was bustling with people entering the city, showing just how attractive Song Fairy was.

Among these people, there were not many cultivators above the Soul Fusion stage. Many were at the Infant Soul stage or lower, apparently just coming to catch a glimpse of Song Fairy’s beauty.

It made sense. After all, Soul Fusion cultivators were not as common as cabbages in this world.

Someone like Wang Qi, who was at the early Soul Fusion stage (specifically, the Soul Leaving stage), was already a formidable figure. The Cuiyan Sect required young Soul Fusion cultivators under two hundred years old, so those who were older naturally wouldn’t come to join the fun due to their status.

After hearing about Lotus Fairy and Song Fairy, Ye Fei had initially thought that the Soul Fusion stage was nothing special. But now he realized he was wrong.

Reaching this level before the age of two hundred was already considered a genius. Otherwise, Li Canghai wouldn’t have been so valued in the Wujimen.

It was all because of his talent. After all, Wang Yueyao was praised for her talent by Wang Qi for reaching the Golden Pill stage at the age of fifty-nine. Not to mention that Li沧Hai had achieved it before he was even thirty.
