Chapter 1190 1150: The Situation in the Inner Region

Gradually, the space seemed to be torn apart by someone, and a spiraling purple vortex appeared as if connecting to another world. The face of an old, old lady slowly emerged, causing Yin Lie to shiver involuntarily.

Nine Wild Serpent Madam, the top existence of the Flower God Sect of the Inner Region.

Chen Fei gazed at the indifferent face, the cold eyes, his lips pressed tightly together, feeling his heart drop slightly to the bottom.

Because such an existence, even now, separated by thousands of miles, with only a mark hidden on Yin Lie's body, could still effortlessly emit such a terrifying pressure.

That pressure not only made him tremble, but even Yin Lie, who had recently made some breakthroughs, was shaking uncontrollably all over... such a person is indescribably frightening.

Is this Nine Wild Serpent Madam really this formidable?

"Great Heaven Rank?" Chen Fei muttered to himself, biting his lower lip tightly, his eyes flickering.

If she truly is such an existence, at the Great Heaven Rank, it was far, far beyond his current realm level!

It was as if they were in completely different worlds.

"Hmm, what is this place, a small world?"

The Nine Wild Serpent Madam curiously looked around the world and murmured.

Her Divine Sense could stretch very far, but the technology and modernization of this Earth made her feel very unfamiliar.

However, it seemed not to matter much.

Even though small worlds are rare, for an expert of her level, they are just ordinary.

Upon thinking this, she shifted her gaze to Yin Lie, then to Chen Fei.

"Are you Chen Fei?" she spoke calmly, as a terrifying pressure descended, making it hard to breathe.

Chen Fei's eyes twitched momentarily, but the next moment, he forcibly calmed his face. However, only his uncontrollably trembling hands, and the sweat seeping from the palms and backs of his hands, revealed...

The oppressive aura from an expert of the True Monarch Realm of Great Heaven Rank was overwhelmingly terrifying.

Even though this was just an avatar, just a mark, Chen Fei was skeptical that if she wanted to kill him, he might be reduced to ashes and obliterated in a blink.

But despite this, Chen Fei forcibly held on, as the fiery bird within him let out a long, imperceptible cry, hiding within the space, without alarming anyone, calming Chen Fei amid the terrifying aura.

"Hmm?" The murky eyes of the Nine Wild Serpent Madam flashed slightly with surprise. Apparently, she was puzzled as to how Chen Fei could remain calm under her aura.

Anyone should know that the aura she was emitting wasn't extremely strong, but it certainly wasn't weak either. Because at least from her own standpoint, whether an ordinary Minor Heavenly True Monarch could ignore this aura was still uncertain.

"This kid..." The Nine Wild Serpent Madam stared at Chen Fei with surprise, her expression calm, not speaking.

"Greetings, senior. Junior is indeed Chen Fei. Pleasantries to you."

Chen Fei raised his hand in salute to the Nine Wild Serpent Madam, then said lightly to Yin Lie and the others beside him, "Protector Yin Lie, you should leave first."

"...gulp~ yes!" Yin Lie glanced at the mark of the Nine Wild Serpent Madam, and upon seeing no reaction from her, he awkwardly swallowed and left the teahouse with his people.

Luckily, before this, they had deliberately driven away the nearby people, or else a lot would have perished just now.

The aura from a Primordial Core Realm Expert of Great Heavenly Pill Realm, even if unconscious, an ordinary person would definitely be unable to withstand it.

Seeing this situation, the Nine Wild Serpent Madam's eyes flashed, and she slowly withdrew her gaze, speaking lightly, "You're slightly better than I imagined."

"Thank you for the compliment, senior, but I wonder how my wife is doing in your care?" Chen Fei clenched his fists slightly and asked slowly.

"Hmm?" Her gaze fell on Chen Fei again, and this time, the pressure was at least ten times what it was before, almost forcing Chen Fei to kneel. His fingers dug into his other hand, leaving blood marks on his knuckles.

Yet even so, Chen Fei stood his ground, spine straight.

"Do you know what you're saying?" The Nine Wild Serpent Madam glanced at Chen Fei slightly surprised, still speaking indifferently.

"I'm fully aware. Wann Qing is my wife now, and will always be in the future."

Chen Fei's teeth trembled as he forced himself to stay calm, whispering softly.

The Nine Wild Serpent Madam finally looked down at Chen Fei, then shook her head lightly and spoke indifferently, "Your words sound nice, but unfortunately, I've long been past the age of listening to such sweet talk. If you're trying to prove something by this, I'm sorry, this is probably a futile effort. Besides, don't you think it sounds too pale?"

"I know, so in the future, I'll prove myself through my actions. Rest assured, senior, it won't be too long." Chen Fei spoke calmly.

The Nine Wild Serpent Madam stared at Chen Fei for a while before shaking her head slightly and speaking lightly, "I admit your first impression is decent, but you should know one thing: your current strength is too weak."

"The Inner Region is different from your Outer Domain, especially for our Flower God Sect. The True Monarch Realm, to a certain degree, is only the beginning."

"I understand. So I will strive hard," Chen Fei said softly.

"Is that so?" The Nine Wild Serpent Madam looked at Chen Fei for a while, then said indifferently, "What's your name?"

"Chen Fei."

"I heard it from others before, and now you have told me yourself. I hope in the future you can meet my true self openly and tell him your name is Chen Fei."

The Nine Wild Serpent Madam glanced at Chen Fei and said lightly.

"I will not only do that, but I will also make my name resound throughout the Qiannan Ancient Kingdom, and even the Triple Emperor Domain, the Immortal Country of Myriad Gods!" Chen Fei said resolutely.

"You actually know about the Immortal Country of Myriad Gods!?" For the first time, the eyes of the Nine Wild Serpent Madam changed as she looked at Chen Fei in confusion and surprise. For someone so young to know about the legendary realm beyond the Triple Emperor Domain?

"Having ambition is a good thing, but being too boastful is not always a good thing."

The Nine Wild Serpent Madam gazed quietly at Chen Fei and said.

Chen Fei was silent. This has always been his goal, but he had never spoken of it. Now, with Pei Wanning's departure, it seemed to have sparked something within him.

If he could reign over the Immortal Country of Myriad Gods, with that kind of power, who in this world would dare to oppose him, Chen Fei?

Seeing Chen Fei's silence, the Nine Wild Serpent Madam sighed lightly and said, "I left a mark on that kid, wanting to meet you, not necessarily to make you leave from Wann Qing. Just that..."

"Just what?" Chen Fei's eyes flickered as he spoke.

"How much do you know about our Qiannan Ancient Kingdom Inner Domain?" The Nine Wild Serpent Madam skipped the topic and asked.

"Two armies opposing each other, mighty ones holding their own ground."

Chen Fei succinctly recounted what Zhen Jingkong had told him and then said lightly, "I've heard that the Inner Region is divided into the first half and the second half. The first half is the territory of the Qiannan Ancient Kingdom's Wang Clan, occupying about forty percent; the second half is dominated by the Five Great Ancient Sects, where heroes contend."

"Correct, you know it well. What I want to tell you is very simple."

The Nine Wild Serpent Madam glanced at Chen Fei suspiciously and then slowly said, "In the second half of the Inner Region, the reason why the Five Great Ancient Sects can hold dominance is because they each possess a 'Ancient King level combat power,' the strongest under the myth..."

"Supreme Heavenly Position?" Chen Fei interrupted suddenly.

"...Yes." The Nine Wild Serpent Madam looked at Chen Fei, then slowly continued, "The five strongest of the Five Great Ancient Sects are called the 'Five Great Ancient Kings.' These five are all at the Supreme Heavenly Position, and evenly matched, leading to a stalemate in the second half of the Inner Region for hundreds of years."

She paused slightly before continuing, "But now, this stalemate is facing a breakthrough."

A breakthrough?

Chen Fei's eyes narrowed.

Could it be...

At this moment, the Nine Wild Serpent Madam spoke again, "Back then, a First Emperor Qin suddenly rose in the Inner Region. He was terrifying, establishing a force in less than a century that was not inferior to any of the Five Great Ancient Sects. Later, this First Emperor Qin confronted the Polar Demon Palace, sparking a rare grand war in the Inner Region."

"Polar Demon Palace?" Chen Fei pursed his lips, his eyes showing surprise. From Zhen Jingkong's words, he already knew that the Polar Demon Palace was one of the Five Great Ancient Sects in the second half of the Inner Region.

Moreover, in terms of strength, the Polar Demon Palace was not the weakest, probably ranking second or third.

"The result was mutual destruction. First Emperor Qin, under pressure, was forced to abandon his holdings in the Inner Region and led his people to the Dominating Emperor Domain. As for the Polar Demon Palace..." The Nine Wild Serpent Madam's eyes showed hints of turbulence before speaking slowly again.

"The Ancient King of the Polar Demon Palace was severely injured by First Emperor Qin, and over the years, it's said it has become increasingly irreparable..."

Upon hearing this, Chen Fei's pupils flickered, finally lapsing into silence.

The situation was crystal clear: with the Polar Demon Palace losing its Ancient King level combat power, it could no longer hold the world at bay. It has likely become a coveted objective, a prize many looking for a quick ascent are eager to seize.

"Does this have anything to do with Wann Qing?" After a period of silence, Chen Fei couldn't help but ask.

"The cultivation method I taught Wan Qing is one of the most top-tier in my Flower God Sect, and it's also the method reserved for potential Saintesses. In other words, Wan Qing's current status is that of a prospective Saintess in the Flower God Sect."

The Nine Wild Serpent Madam paused before continuing, "Should the Polar Demon Palace really fall, my Flower God Sect might vie for that Supreme position. Then, as part of a bargaining condition, Wan Qing and the other prospective Saintesses might have to make some sacrifices for my Flower God Sect..."

Chen Fei's pupils shrank slightly.

"Are you saying that if in the future your sect wants to win over certain experts or forces, Wan Qing and the others, as long as they remain prospective Saintesses, might be sent off like gifts?"

Taking a deep breath, his voice tinged with a bit of hostility, he asked.

"...Yes." The Nine Wild Serpent Madam coldly glanced at Chen Fei and said.

Chen Fei's whole body trembled, a surge of killing intent rising within him. His eyes too, started to fill with blood.

The Nine Wild Serpent Madam looked at him coldly. The atmosphere was somewhat tense.
