Three years ago, a group of mysterious people annihilated the Ye family. He survived by luck but was thrown into prison, where by chance, he became the disciple of five masters...
Three years...
"Why would you feel that way? Senior Brother would be heartbroken if he knew," Ye Feng joked.
Mu Yuqing was a little embarrassed. She stuck out her tongue before saying, "I don't know why I feel this way, but I just feel that Senior Brother is not as reliable as Second Senior Brother. I always feel insecure when I'm with Senior Brother."
"Alright then, since you've put it this way, I'll help you this once."
Ye Feng and Mu Yuqing set off together and were teleported to Jade City via the teleportation array in Lonely Cloud City.
Teleportation arrays cannot be built arbitrarily; they must rely on spiritual veins. There must be a spiritual vein between two corresponding teleportation arrays, otherwise the two teleportation arrays cannot be connected at all.
This is why, even though teleportation arrays are available, Ye Feng often chooses to fly away on his own.
There is a teleportation array between Lonely Cloud City and Jade City, which is indeed very convenient.
Less than half an hour has passed since Ye Feng and Mu Yuqing descended the mountain, but they are now already in Jade City.
"Shall we go see the city lord of Emerald City now?" Night Wind asked.
"No need. Just find that monster and deal with it, then go see the Jade City Lord," Mu Yuqing said.
"Alright, let's go to Jade Mountain now to find that monster."
Ye Feng and Mu Yuqing left Emerald City and entered Emerald Mountain.
Although Jade Mountain is outside Jade City, it is still some distance away from Jade City.
Ye Feng and Mu Yuqing flew to the foot of Emerald Jade Mountain and were about to enter when they suddenly saw a teahouse at the foot of the mountain.
It was an open-air teahouse, where a woman was brewing tea and a burly man was helping her; it was clearly a husband-and-wife business.
Several burly men were drinking tea in that teahouse at that moment, chatting idly as they drank.
Ye Feng glanced at it twice and asked, "Do you have any information about that demonic beast?"
"No." Mu Yuqing shook her head.
"You don't even have any information about that demonic beast. How are you going to search for it once you enter Jade Mountain? Are you going to search one place after another?" Ye Feng laughed.
Mu Yuqing looked embarrassed, and her cheeks turned slightly red.
"Let's go sit in that teahouse. Maybe we can find out some information there," Ye Feng said.
The night wind carried Mu Yuqing down to the ground.
Ye Feng and Mu Yuqing fell from the sky, which attracted the attention of those people, but did not make them panic.
Martial artists are everywhere in the Yin-Yang Great World, and there are countless martial artists who can fly. The people living in this world have naturally become accustomed to it.
Moreover, those burly men sitting together drinking tea also seemed to be martial artists.
"Boss, two bowls of tea, please," Ye Feng said.
"Okay, please wait a moment, sir."
The woman who was brewing tea smiled.
Ye Feng and Mu Yuqing sat down at the table together, and the woman quickly brought over two large bowls of tea.
Mu Yuqing naturally wouldn't even look at this coarse tea.
However, as a martial artist, she was not as delicate as those rich heiresses. She often endured hardship during her training, let alone a bowl of coarse tea.
So Mu Yuqing picked up the bowl, frowned, and took a big gulp.
Ye Feng asked with a smile, "Boss lady, I heard that a very powerful monster has appeared in this Jade Mountain. It often attacks passersby and merchants, and even dares to attack caravans. Is that true?"
"That's true. Sigh, it's all because of that monster. Fewer and fewer caravans are doing business here. I haven't seen one in days. My tea shop is almost deserted," the proprietress said with deep resentment.
"Why aren't you running away? Why are you still running a tea shop here? Aren't you afraid that monster will come and eat you?" Ye Feng asked again.
"What do I have to be afraid of? I heard that the monster is very picky and only eats men, not weak women like us," the proprietress said with a smile.
"Why is that?" Ye Feng asked, feigning curiosity.
The proprietress waved her hand and said, "How would I know? Maybe women's flesh isn't chewy enough."
Curious, the landlady glanced at Ye Feng a few times and asked, "Are you martial artists? Did you come to Jade Mountain to capture that demonic beast?"
“Yes, I heard that the city lord of Emerald City has offered a very high bounty, and even if you can’t catch the monster, you can still get a reward as long as you find where it is, so I brought my sister here to try my luck.” Ye Feng pointed to Mu Yuqing, who was taking big gulps of tea from her teacup.
The proprietress had no doubt about Ye Feng's words, because she had seen far too many martial artists in the Jade Mountain searching for monsters in exchange for bounties during this period.
But so far, no one has found the monster, and several martial artists have gone missing while searching for it. No one knows whether they encountered some accident in the mountains or were harmed by the monster.
"Then you must be careful. That monster is elusive and extremely powerful. I heard that even a martial artist at the True Essence Realm was captured by it!" The proprietress sighed.
"Don't worry, we're not here to catch monsters. We just need to find where that monster is," Ye Feng said with a smile.
The proprietress nodded and continued brewing tea.
The burly men at the next table all looked over at Ye Feng and Mu Yuqing with curiosity.
After a moment, one of the burly men with a scar on his face strode over.
"Are you going to find that monster?" Scarface asked.
“Yes.” Night Breeze nodded.
"Do you want to come with us? We have information about that monster," the scarred, burly man said.
"Do you know where that monster is?" Ye Feng asked, feigning interest.
“That’s right,” the scarred, burly man immediately replied.
Night Wind deliberately feigned a suspicious expression: "Since you know where that monster is in Jade Mountain, why don't you go to Jade City Lord for a reward?"
The scarred-faced burly man burst into laughter, and the other burly men joined in with their own laughter.
"Young man, you don't understand! The bounty issued by the Jade City Lord requires finding the monster's lair, not just seeing where the monster is!" The scarred-faced burly man laughed heartily.
After a pause, the scarred-faced burly man continued, "Yesterday when we went into the mountains, we happened to see that monster attack a passerby. Although we couldn't determine the monster's exact rank, we felt that it was at least a seventh-rank monster, if not an eighth-rank one."
"So we're waiting here, hoping to find more people before entering Jade Mountain and finding the monster's lair."
At this point, the scarred, burly man patted Ye Feng on the shoulder and asked, "What level of martial arts are you and your sister?"
“I am in the mid-stage of the Separation and Union Realm, and my sister is in the early stage of the Separation and Union Realm,” Ye Feng replied.
