"Feng Bao, you're not strong enough to show me what you're capable of.
I can send you to hell with a wave of my hand.
"Now, you are only one head away from the gates of hell. Answer my question obediently."
Otherwise, you'll truly be buried in peace. "
Zhang Xing stopped exerting force, and his cold voice drifted into Feng Bao's ears.
Feng Bao shuddered.
He'd never felt so close to death before.
He believed that Zhang Xing was telling the truth.
The fear of death caused him to snap out of his reverie.
Zhang Xing wasn't the trashy servant disciple they thought he was. In fact, he was even more powerful than Feng Bao, the Eldest Brother of the Inner Sect.
Thinking back to the legend Ruan Mei had told him, he believed it.
It was true, not a legend. Zhang Xing was truly vicious and merciless. He killed people like a demon!
Furthermore, he had an even more terrifying helper who had yet to appear!
"I … I'll talk. I'll tell you everything!"
Even as he stammered, he dispersed his battle-qi and returned to his normal state.
"Oh, right. Why don't you take me to Ruan Mei? Even if you tell me, I won't be able to find her.
Even if I do find her, I'll be blocked outside. I might even have to fight her and waste time.
"Do you think what I said makes sense?"
Zhang Xing squatted down next to Feng Bao's head, squinting.
"Yes … you do. I'll take you there!"
Feng Bao's face was dejected as he obediently admitted defeat.
Since their boss had admitted defeat, his lackeys were even more terrified.
Zhang Xian and Li Yi both turned their heads away, not daring to look at Feng Bao.
They didn't dare to look at Zhang Xing either. If Zhang Xing got angry, he'd push them down to the ground.
If that happened, their lives would no longer be in their hands.
They waited anxiously for a long time, but Zhang Xing didn't pay them any attention.
It wasn't until Zhang Xing and Feng Bao were out of sight that they slumped to the ground, panting.
Dammit!
Where did Zhang Xing come from?
In the future, if they saw him, they'd have to avoid him. They absolutely couldn't afford to provoke him.
If they could avoid the Ovens, they'd better not come. That was a forbidden area of the sect.
The two of them took a few deep breaths before jumping up and running away from Waterfall Mountain.
An hour later, Zhang Xing arrived at the foot of the First Mountain.
With Feng Bao leading the way, their journey was smooth and unimpeded.
Needless to say, Feng Bao spent a long time explaining the dozens of checkpoints.
However, the disciples guarding the mountain still gave Feng Bao face. They only asked a few simple questions before letting him pass.
At this time, Ruan Mei had just sneaked out and was planning to find Zhang Xing.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Xing appeared with a smile on his face.
"Eh?
I was just about to look for you! "
Ruan Mei happily jumped to Zhang Xing's side and wrapped her arms around his.
Looking at the intimacy between the two, Feng Bao's eyes burned with jealousy again.
But he didn't dare to show it. He lowered his head and retreated to the side.
Zhang Xing ignored Feng Bao and brought Ruan Mei into the mountain gate. He went to her residence to take a look.
The environment was top-notch.
After that, Zhang Xing gave Ruan Mei a life-saving jade pendant. If she encountered any danger, she could crush it.
This jade pendant could withstand a full-powered attack from a Five Star Venerable.
At the same time, Zhang Xing could sense it from thousands of miles away and travel through time to Ruan Mei's side.
Through these days of calmness and brainwashing by Grand Elder Mo Caiyi,
Ruan Mei knew that even if she stayed by Zhang Xing's side, she wouldn't be of much help. Instead, she would be a burden.
If she could cultivate here in peace, she would become stronger and have a certain status in the sect.
Wouldn't that be even more helpful to Zhang Xing?!
Therefore, Zhang Xing didn't have to persuade her to stay.
Although she was reluctant, she endured it.
She was as attached to Zhang Xing as she was to her brother, father, and even lover …
