The extraordinary journey begins with the Ouroboros Stele.

Chapter 182 Don't you know who I am?

Coastal City, Qin Family Ancestral Hall.

"Brother Wang! Brother Wang, don't be impulsive!"

Xue Fei blocked the middle-aged man in front of him in the courtyard of the ancestral hall.

The middle-aged man, referred to as Brother Wang, looked at Xue Fei with some displeasure.

"Old Xue, have you lost your mind? You're stopping me?"

He couldn't quite understand what Xue Fei was up to. He had asked Xue Fei to deal with the Qin family before, but this guy had kept making excuses. Now he actually dared to stop him?

"Does your Xue family want to compete with my Wang family? Or does your Xue family also want the Qin family's herb-gathering land?"

Brother Wang spoke with some impatience. Apart from this reason, he really couldn't think of any other benefit that would make the Xue family so bold.

Upon hearing this, Xue Fei's face fell, and his heart felt as if it were being crushed by a boulder.

"My dear Brother Wang, how could I possibly have the guts!"

After saying that, he leaned close to Wang Xiao's ear, but Wang Xiao frowned and pushed his head away in disgust.

"Don't fucking get so close to me, spit it out!"

"Don't think you can act so recklessly just because we're close!"

"You'd better give me a reasonable explanation today, or I'll break your legs!"

Wang Xiao spoke impatiently. If he hadn't known Xue Fei for decades, he wouldn't have bothered to listen to any explanations and would have killed them all long ago.

Inside the ancestral hall, Qin Zhixu listened to the conversation between the two people outside, and was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

He never expected that it wouldn't be the Xue family causing trouble today, but the Wang family!

The Wang family, one of the two strongest secret martial arts families in Coastal City!

Even twenty years ago, the Wang family was the real power on the coast!

How could such a powerful family stoop so low as to seize the Qin family's herb-gathering land?

Zhuang Huaizhang and Qin Lan sat by Qin Yi's hospital bed, holding hands, their faces calm.

"It's alright, Huaizhang. At worst, we can just give the herb-gathering land to the Wang family."

Admittedly, a medicinal herb gathering site is extremely valuable, and in fact, most secret martial arts factions do not even have one.

The rise of the Qin family was precisely due to the discovery of this medicinal herb gathering site.

But in the end, the place where herbs are gathered is just a resource. Resources can be accumulated again when they are gone, but when people are gone, they are truly gone.

In the courtyard, Xue Fei sensed Wang Xiao's impatience and hurriedly nodded.

"That's right, the Qin family has powerful backers!"

Wang Xiao was amused by the words "someone is behind you" and grabbed Xue Fei's head.

"Are you out of your mind? Someone's backing you? You're telling me someone's backing you?"

"Have you forgotten my last name? My last name is Wang! The Wang of Emperor!"

"Come on, tell me, who? Who's behind the Qin family? Could it be the Crimson Whale Sect?!"

"it's me."

Before Xue Fei could answer his question, a young figure appeared behind him.

He tossed Xue Fei's head aside, turned around, and saw Lin Ye standing silently outside the ancestral hall.

Looking at the young face in front of him, he couldn't help but lower his head and laugh.

"Young man, do you know that meddling in other people's business can kill you?"

Lin Ye looked at the middle-aged man opposite him with some confusion.

"Don't you know who I am?"

That shouldn't be the case; his portrait has already been placed on the desks of all the secret forces in Coastal City.

Could it be an abstract art style?

Hearing Lin Ye's question, Wang Xiao was genuinely amused and exasperated.

"I don't know who you are? Then do you know who I am!"

"My Wang family doesn't care who you are! Do you even know what the law is?"

"The law of my Wang family is the law of the king!"

Upon hearing this, Xue Fei, who had been pushed aside, changed his expression drastically. He was about to reveal Lin Ye's identity when Wang Xiao's figure had already rushed out.

Finished!

He groaned inwardly. Brother Wang's strength had reached the level of top-tier evil energy, and Lin Ye had no chance against him!

If Lin Ye dies here, not only the Xue and Wang families, but even the Qin family will likely not escape unscathed!

He still vividly remembers the bloody night twenty years ago and the godlike yet demonic figure of the Crimson Whale Sect Master.

That very night, the backbone of the entire Coastal City's local secret armed forces was shattered.

"boom!"

A gust of air swept past, blowing Xue Fei's hair back.

He snapped back to his senses and stared blankly at the two people fighting in front of him.

One figure was wreathed in lightning, another rose in flames—both were attacks of unparalleled power.

"Boom boom boom!"

The heatwave, carrying arcs of electricity, spread out in a circle, instantly drying the grass and plants in the yard. Even Xue Fei felt a tingling sensation throughout his body.

Feeling a slight tingling sensation on his skin, he shuddered and was about to reveal Lin Ye's identity when a figure wreathed in flames crashed heavily into the courtyard from outside.

The flames transformed into wisps of fire, gradually fading into the air.

"Ahem!"

He coughed twice, clutched his chest, and forcefully suppressed a mouthful of blood.

"Who...who are you?!"

He wasn't even a True Qi cultivator, yet his strength was terrifyingly incredible; he could actually contend with him!

He is a top-tier evil spirit! He is someone who could ascend to the divine realm with just one opportunity!

Lin Ye smiled and shook his head when he heard Wang Xiao's question.

"The Wang family actually has an idiot like you? That's both surprising and delightful."

"My master is the Crimson Whale Sect Master."

He walked into the courtyard and stood there looking down at Wang Xiao.

Upon hearing Lin Ye say that his master was the Crimson Whale Sect Master, Wang Xiao's eyes trembled, revealing panic.

"Red, Red Whale Sect Master?!"

He stared at Xue Fei in disbelief, never imagining that this bastard would actually trick him.

He thought back to that night twenty years ago, when he was only twenty-two years old and had become a master martial artist with great ambition.

But that very night, my eldest uncle died, my third uncle died, the leader of the Baihua Sect died, and even the leader of the Hetian Sect almost died that night.

That night, the entire coastal city was shrouded in the man's shadow, trembling under his power.

Wang Xiao's body trembled, and he suddenly lunged at Lin Ye, sliding down to his knees.

"Slap! Slap! Slap!"

"sorry!"

"I'm not human!"

"I'm blind to talent!"

"Taking over the Qin family's herb-gathering land was my sole responsibility; it has nothing to do with the Wang family!"

He slapped himself repeatedly, weeping bitterly.

He always knew that he could be arrogant and domineering towards anyone in Coastal City, but he couldn't be like that towards the personal disciple of the Crimson Whale Sect Master.

But today...

"Slap! Slap! Slap!"

Lin Ye glanced at Wang Xiao, gently grabbed the other's hair, and forced him to raise his head and look at him.

Looking at the fear in the other person's eyes and the snot and tears on their face, Lin Ye felt inexplicably irritated and disgusted.

He wasn't like this at all during their fight; his arrogance had even excited him, making him think he was about to face a formidable opponent.

The opponent has arrived.

He sighed and shoved the other person's head away.

"Get lost."

"If anyone dares to cause trouble for the Qin family again, then I will make trouble for you."

"Got it?"

Wang Xiao, who was rolling on the ground, nodded repeatedly, "Understood! Understood! I promise no one will cause trouble for the Qin family again!"

After saying that, he scrambled out of the yard.
