Chapter 30: The Unknown World

  "Little Feng's brother, do you know who wants to kill you?"

  Chu Zi Feng said: "It's all because of women! Xiang Jie, have you ever heard that in our Yan Da there is a group called the Four Princes?"

  "Yan Da's Four Young Masters! Are you referring to the four young men from the Yi, Huo, Zhuo and Jiang families?"

  "Hmm, it's them, if I'm not mistaken. They're the ones who hired someone to kill me. The reason is that when I first arrived at school, I offended a woman named Wu Xiaoyi and also got acquainted with another woman named Xiao Jing!"

  Chu Zi Feng's words made Huang Xiang pause for a moment, but he quickly laughed and said: "Zi Feng brother, you really are something, the two little girls from Wu's family and Xiao's family have both been hooked by you!"

  "Don't say it like that, it's just a coincidence."

  Next, Chu Zifeng told Huang Chang everything about how he had offended Wu Xiaoyu and how he knew Xiao Jing. After all, there was nothing left to hide from this woman anymore. He even told her about the murder, and with their online acquaintances over the years, Chu Zifeng could be sure that Huang Chang would not betray him!

  "Zi Feng, my younger brother, I think the title of 'Five Evils' hasn't been divided properly. The name Dong Xie should be yours instead. You're skilled in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting! However, the women from the Wu and Xiao families are not simple either. Once you get entangled with them, you'll inevitably invite trouble."

  "I really don't know what's so great about these two women, I only know that Jing Xue's family is in the education industry, and Wu Xiaoai's family should be doing business, because last time I heard Jing Xue say that Wu Xiaoai's family opened some hotels!"

  Huang Chang said: "Xiao Jing's grandfather, Xiao Haikun, is the Minister of Education, and his fame spreads far and wide. Even the two current presidents of Yanda University were once his subordinates. Her father and mother are all engaged in education work and are leaders of the Yanjing Education Bureau. As for Wu Xiaoyu, her family runs a hotel business, with over a dozen high-end hotels in Yanjing alone, and at least over a hundred across the country, making them the leader of China's hotel industry."

  Sweat dripping, didn't expect Xiao Jing and Wu Xiaoai's family to be so powerful, it really exceeded Chu Zifeng's expectations!

  "As for you, the four young masters of Yan University, Yi Tianya's family and Wu's family are on an equal footing in terms of financial resources. Zhuo Bufan's father is the mayor of Yanjing, with very good relationships with many central leaders. Jiang Lei's father is a major general of the Yanjing Military Region, at the same level as my direct supervisor General Lan Jianguo. As for Huo Tingyu..."

  As for the Young Master of the Evil Wolf Gang, Huang Xiang's face clearly turned ugly!

  "Sister Yu, is it possible that the Huo family is more powerful than the other three families?"

  "Hmm! The He family in Yanjing is just a branch, at most it's just a local snake. But the real Northeast He family, that's a behemoth, even the central government can't grasp evidence of their crimes over the years, let alone touch them!"

  Even the central government can't move this family, it seems that Chu Zifeng has stirred up quite a bit of trouble!

  "Sister Xiang, what if I were to kill Huo Tingyu? What would be the consequences?"

  Chu Zi Feng's words startled Huang Chang, who said: "Zi Feng, little brother, this is not possible. Not to mention the northeast Huo family, even in the Evil Wolf Gang, there are many experts. If you kill Huo Ting Yu, don't think about staying in Yanjing again, the Evil Wolf Gang will definitely hunt you down."

  "Expert? What kind of expert is in the Evil Wolf Gang?"

  "We haven't investigated this yet, but the Evil Wolf Gang hasn't made any big moves in recent years either. They seem to be hiding even deeper than before. Based on our estimates, there must be special individuals like us within the Evil Wolf Gang, and possibly even cultivators like you, Zifeng."

  "It seems I've thought things were too simple, and this world was too simple as well. However, if Hu Tingyu and the others don't come to bother me again, then I won't bother them either. After all, I just want to live an ordinary life and finish university properly. But if they send someone to kill me again, no matter how powerful their backing is, Chu Zifeng will not be afraid."

  "Little brother, if something happens in the future, you must notify me first. I'll help you solve it. Don't do anything rash and avoid unnecessary trouble."

  "I'll try my best! ...By the way, Xiang Jie, tell me about those special individuals' situations?"

  "Zi Feng's younger brother, why do you look like you don't understand anything? Don't tell me that as a cultivator, you've just started cultivating and haven't even come into contact with other cultivators?"

  "Yes, I've just started practicing for four months."

  "What? Four months? You've only been practicing for four months and you can already make a subway station like that?"

  "That's because I used the 'Ice Stone' you gave me, Sister Yu, and combined it with other things to refine a magical artifact, its power is quite decent."

  "You, you're still an Alchemist?"

  Chu Zi Feng wouldn't worry about Huang Xiang suspecting where he learned to refine equipment from, because on that day outside the city, neither of them knew what kind of treasure those two old men were fighting over, which means they didn't know what was inside that box.

  "It can be said that way, but Sister Yu, you shouldn't ask me where I learned to refine equipment either, because I promised the senior who taught me not to reveal his matters to anyone."

  The matter of the Xuantian Cave Mansion cannot be told to anyone, so Chu Zifeng can only make up an excuse and come up with a recluse, then Huang Chang will not suspect himself.

  "You cultivators are all so strange. Fine, I won't ask you about your affairs! As for the special individuals in this world, they can be divided into four types: one is cultivators like you, the second type is ancient martial artists like me, the third type is ability users, and the fourth type is mutated tribe members, that is to say, those people whose bodies have undergone variation."

  Chu Zi Feng had already known about the affairs of cultivators that night. He knew that all cultivators in this world were either unaffiliated scattered practitioners or a single cultivator with a few disciples, which couldn't be considered a sect. Those large and small sects had entered the Cultivation Realm 100 years ago, which was a different space. Therefore, it was impossible for people in the Cultivation Realm to easily run to the mundane world, and the scattered practitioners of the mundane world probably wouldn't find it easy to enter the Cultivation Realm either.

  "Are the ancient martial artists those who have been passed down from ancient times and created by the ancient martial arts?" asked Chu Zifeng.

  "That's right, every ancient martial artist possesses one or more ancient martial arts that have been passed down from ancient times. They are different from modern martial arts and possess powerful destructive power, operating with internal energy, just like the method I used to attack you earlier. And ancient martial artists are also divided into nine levels based on the strength of their internal energy. Your sister is a third-level ancient martial artist."

  "Is that Esper like the ones written about? Born with a special power different from others?"

  "It can be said that, however, the ability holders are divided into two types: innate and acquired. Innate refers to abilities that one is born with, while acquired refers to abilities gained due to certain events, such as being struck by lightning or hit by a car. Ability holders have five systems, namely: wind, electricity, fire, ice, and metal, each of which is further divided into A, B, C, D, and E levels."

  After a pause, Huang Xiang continued: "As for the alien tribes, they were originally normal humans who became infected with some kind of virus or bitten by strange creatures, resulting in physical mutations. The most common alien tribes are the Blood Tribe and the Wolf Tribe, as well as many other types of alien tribes. Their powers have been enhanced through evolution, divided into primary evolution, advanced evolution, and ultimate evolution... The situation for special individuals is basically like this, I believe you should know more about it than me as a cultivator. However, apart from these four types of special individuals, there are also some animals or plants in this world that can transform into human form, commonly known as 'yao'."

  "Monster? You mean there really are monsters in this world?"

  "Of course, the cultivation method of monsters is the same as yours, they feed on human souls. This group is called the demon tribe. However, the demon tribe was eliminated by several major sects in the cultivation world 200 years ago. Even if some survived and stayed in the secular world, they are hiding deep in the mountains and do not dare to run to the city easily."

  When Huang Xiang finished talking about the other side of this world, a side that ordinary people didn't know about, Chu Zifeng only felt that this world was so wonderful, truly nothing is impossible!
