Yang Fei's eyes rolled around, filled with extreme curiosity.

Whenever someone mentioned the Martial God, Yang Fei always felt a closeness.

It seemed that this legendary figure had an extremely important connection with him, in an obscure way.

His majestic yet vague figure had appeared more than once in Yang Fei's memory fragments.

Yet every time, whenever Yang Fei tried to recall, his head would ache inexplicably.

Then he couldn't remember anymore.

Listening to the conversation of the two men in front, Yang Fei came up with a bold idea.

Brother Ming didn't allow the man in the co-driver's seat to mention the Martial God Ruins, yet he couldn't help but speak about it himself.

"Actually, all this talk about the Martial God Ruins is just nonsense spouted by outsiders."

"I guess it's just a rumor spread deliberately by the Council of Elders to enhance the prestige of Xuan Ying Pavilion."

"Heh heh, besides Xuan Ying Pavilion, every sect that participated in the Martial God Assembly claims to possess the true martial arts teachings of the Martial God."

The man in the co-driver's seat didn't quite believe Brother Ming's words, but he didn't dare to argue with him.

He chuckled awkwardly.

"Brother Ming is right, everyone admires the legendary Martial God too much,"

"So they all say that. Whether it's true or not, who knows?"

Brother Ming sneered, his tone filled with even more mockery.

"It's one thing for others to believe such nonsense."

"The funniest thing is, even the Five Banners Command Master believed it."

"Their confrontation with the Council of Elders this time isn't just over the disappearance of the Sacred Object."

"They probably want more to venture into the Forbidden Land to observe the Martial God Ruins."

The man in the co-driver's seat became even more curious.

"So, do those Martial God Ruins actually exist?"

Brother Ming let out a wry smile.

"Only the Great Elders of the Council of Elders know that."

"I reckon it's just them being deliberately mystifying."

"It's to suppress the Five Banners and show that Xuan Ying Pavilion is the real deal."

The more the two talked, the deeper they delved, and Yang Fei also became filled with curiosity about the Martial God Ruins.

The taxi turned around and drove for another twenty minutes before finally stopping.

Yang Fei sneakily looked ahead.

He saw a majestic and towering archway lying across the front.

The white jade gate pillars were engraved with three characters in seal script: "Ming Xia Garden"

Each character was the size of a water jar, and the gold characters had an air of majesty and antiquity.

There were security guards on both sides of the gate.

The electronic retractable fence gate stopped the transit of people and vehicles.

Brother Ming got out of the car and greeted the on-duty security.

After they registered, the on-duty guard waved his hand and opened the electronic retractable fence gate.

Yang Fei carefully observed the on-duty security guards.

Both security guards had their Essence retracted and sharp eyes; they were martial artists.

Moreover, these two security guards were at least experts at the Mingjin Xuan level.

Yang Fei was secretly astonished; the power of the Xuan Ying Pavilion was truly not to be underestimated.

Mingjin Xuan level experts.

If they were outside, they could be bodyguards for the wealthy, with an annual salary reaching four to five hundred thousand.

But here, such experts were merely ordinary security guards.

Brother Ming got back into the car and checked on Yang Fei and Feng Cai'er, finding both of them still unconscious.

He chuckled.

"These two fellows really love to sleep, all underlings of Five Banners Command Master, such trash,"

"What gives them the right to make trouble at headquarters, they truly have no idea of their limits."

He started the car, drove through the archway, and charged into a wide, sheltered road.

The taxi drove another two or three kilometers.

All along the way, it was lit with brilliant street lamps.

Pavilions dotted the landscape, flowers bloomed like a tapestry, with occasional hot springs and waterfalls sending steam into the air.

Ming Xia Garden truly lived up to its reputation, perfectly describable as an Immortal Realm in the Human Realm.

Yang Fei nodded to himself.

No wonder Ming Xia Garden was so renowned; the development of its tourism resources must have cost at least several billion.

```

This also shows how terrifying Xuan Ying Pavilion is.

In modern business society, it's not enough to have a profound foundation in Martial Arts, one must also possess substantial economic strength.

This is what truly makes a major Sect in the Mortal World so frightening.

The taxi wound around mountains and waterways, driving another four or five kilometers, gradually moving away from the main tourist attractions.

Yang Fei slowly opened his eyes.

He reached out and patted the shoulders of the two men in front, chuckling softly.

"Thanks for the ride in."

Brother Ming hit the brakes hard, looking back abruptly.

The man in the passenger seat reacted instinctively and turned around as well.

Before the two could react, Yang Fei had already grabbed their necks and slammed their heads together.

Bang!

A muffled sound echoed as their heads collided.

Brother Ming grunted and passed out without a sound, overwhelmed by the forceful impact.

The man in the passenger seat, surprisingly, didn't faint.

He trembled all over, scared stiff by Yang Fei's mocking gaze.

"You... you weren't knocked out by the scent?"

Yang Fei laughed heartily, looking at him mockingly.

"Where is the Forbidden Land on the back mountain?"

The man, utterly terrified, widened his eyes.

"What do you want to do?"

Yang Fei revealed a dagger, picking at his nails, but his tone turned icy.

"I'll ask you one more time, where is the Forbidden Land on the back mountain?"

He casually released a hint of Tiger Slaughter Qi, nearly scaring the man out of his wits.

Trembling, the man stammered out the location of the Forbidden Land on the back mountain.

Yang Fei, fearing deceit, made him repeat it twice more.

Only when he was satisfied with the consistency of the man's answers did he nod in approval.

"Good, now you just lie down."

He struck the man on the forehead with his palm.

Instantly silent, the man passed out in the passenger seat.

Yang Fei took out a Silver Needle and stimulated Feng Cai'er's Dazhui acupoint.

Then, he opened the car door, letting the cool night breeze blow into Feng Cai'er's nose and mouth.

After a while, Feng Cai'er moaned softly and woke up.

She stretched languidly, rubbing her eyes.

"How did I fall asleep... Ah, what's going on?"

Feng Cai'er had only spoken halfway when she immediately noticed the two unconscious men in the taxi.

She jumped in shock, almost springing up.

Yang Fei chuckled, watching her with a teasing look in his eyes that blinked back and forth.

"Didn't you say you didn't know where the Mortal World was?"

"See? This is the Mortal World."

"Oh my god, is the public safety here that bad? Did we encounter a black taxi?"

Feng Cai'er's eyes widened with fear.

She nervously checked herself for any abnormalities, and only when she found none did she breathe a sigh of relief.

Yang Fei briefly explained what happened.

Feng Cai'er's heart raced with fear.

She couldn't help but admire Yang Fei.

Both faced with Bewitching Fragrance, she had collapsed immediately, while he remained unscathed.

This gave Feng Cai'er a deep sense of frustration.

Yang Fei asked her to get out of the car, then moved the two men from the driver's seat to the back seat.

Feng Cai'er's eyes went wide as she followed Yang Fei.

"What are you doing? I warn you, intentional injury can land you in jail."

Yang Fei glanced at her with a touch of helplessness and said.

"Beauty, do I look like a bad guy to you?"

"It's not about looking like one, you are a big bad wolf through and through!"

Feng Cai'er replied bluntly, leaving Yang Fei at a loss for words.
