Chapter 339: Chapter 338: Inquiry
Yang Fei had just arrived at the clinic when Wang Hui got there.
Entering Yang Fei’s consultation room, Wang Hui closed the door behind him and locked it.
Then he suddenly knelt before Yang Fei, his forehead sweating profusely, displaying an expression of immense pain, "Mr. Yang, please spare me, I... I can’t bear it anymore; this True Qi inside me is like thousands of ants gnawing at my bones, it’s unbearably discomforting."
Yang Fei looked up and could clearly sense that the True Qi he had left in his body was out of control.
Seeing that even a Unique Tier martial arts expert like Wang Hui couldn’t endure the torment of the Devil Seed Energy, Yang Fei, worried that his loud cries might cause a misunderstanding among those outside, walked over and introduced a stream of True Qi to suppress the chaotic and restless Qi.
Wang Hui suddenly felt a huge relief, spat out a couple of deep breaths, and wiped the sweat from his forehead before saying to Yang Fei, "Thank you, Mr. Yang, for your esteemed mercy."
Yang Fei waved his hand, "Don’t thank me; that Devil Seed Energy is still lingering in your body."
Wang Hui gave a bitter smile and said, "It’s what I deserve."
Yang Fei chuckled, looked at him, and asked, "You mentioned on the phone earlier that you had something important to report. What is it?"
Wang Hui hastily said, "Mr. Yang, forgive my presumption, but I must ask, does the abduction of Zhang Yunlong have anything to do with you?"
A flash of sharpness appeared in Yang Fei’s eyes as he stared at Wang Hui.
A chill went down Wang Hui’s spine, guessing the answer from the piercing gaze that Yang Fei shot at him.
"Why would you ask that?" Yang Fei asked.
Wang Hui replied, "The thing is, although Zhang Yunlong appears to be part of the Zhang family, he also has ties with the Hidden Sect. He has a wife in the Hidden Sect. Due to certain special circumstances, the couple spends little time together, but their affection for each other runs deep. Especially his wife, who is completely love-struck by him. Now that he has been abducted, the Hidden Sect has hinted that they might personally intervene to rescue him. And you are the first suspect they consider."
Yang Fei’s pupils shrunk slightly. "The Hidden Sect?"
"Yes," Wang Hui replied.
Yang Fei looked at Wang Hui and asked, "Just how powerful is the Hidden Sect? Since you come from there, you must know who the strongest among them are, right?"
Wang Hui swallowed hard and said, "The Hidden Sect is very powerful. I am just an ordinary cultivator there. The real powerhouses in the sect can easily suppress those who are reputed as National Guardians with ease."
Yang Fei had long stopped caring about so-called National Guardian Level combatants.
He had recovered only over eighty percent of his combat strength, and even in solo combat, he was already fearless against Innate Realm Cultivators. Given more time to fully recover to his peak, he would not even fear Zhang Wenfeng.
So, hearing from Wang Hui that the real powerhouses of the Hidden Sect could easily suppress Innate Realm Cultivators did not surprise Yang Fei at all, and he remained calm.
"Since the Hidden Sect claims to be the true Cultivation World of the Divine Continent Martial World, wherein the strongest can suppress the Innate Realm, it’s normal. What I want to know is exactly how many of these powerful beings, capable of suppressing the Innate Realm, are there in the Hidden Sect?" Yang Fei asked while looking at Wang Hui.
Wang Hui shook his head, "Not few, but the number isn’t exaggerated either."
"More than a hundred?" Yang Fei asked.
Wang Hui thought for a moment then shook his head, "Hard to say, but among them, a single real powerhouse can suppress ten or even more Innate Realm cultivators. They have already stepped into the Divine Travel Realm, and there are even a few, according to rumors, who have reached a higher realm, capable of extended lifespans, living nearly three hundred years."
Yang Fei’s pupils contracted, surprised, "Living that long?"
Wang Hui nodded, "These words are true, as my Wang family has an ancestor who is still alive. According to records, if he is still alive, he should be at least two hundred and forty years old by now."
Yang Fei was inwardly shocked.
He knew the Hidden Sect was not simple, but he didn’t expect it to be this mysterious.
If what Wang Hui said was true, those powerhouses of the Hidden Sect were almost like true Cultivators, real cultivators who had realized a certain way to prolonged life.
Though he would be confident in fighting at the early stages of Divine Travel Realm once his strength was fully recovered, if his opponent was even more powerful, he wasn’t sure he could win in a solo fight.
The Hidden Sect was truly not to be underestimated.
At this thought, Yang Fei looked at Wang Hui and said, "What’s the name of Zhang Yunlong’s wife in the Yun Sect, and what is her Cultivation Realm?"
Wang Hui honestly replied, "Her name is Zhuge Hong. She is among the notable younger generation in the Hidden Sect. Her strength exceeds Zhang Yunlong’s, but she is also in the Innate Realm."
Yang Fei silently nodded. As long as it was just the Innate Realm, he was not afraid.
Wang Hui hesitated for a moment, then continued, "Mr. Yang must not be careless. This Zhuge Hong is not simple. No, it’s the entire Zhuge family that is extraordinary. Not only are they proficient in Martial Arts, but they are also adept at making Elixirs. In the Hidden Sect World, the Zhuge family holds an eminent position. Most of the Elixirs required by Cultivators almost all come from the Zhuge family, which is why their prestige is extremely high."
Yang Fei felt a chill in his heart and silently nodded.
It seemed he needed to be cautious. If Zhuge Hong determined that Zhang Yunlong’s kidnapping was related to him, then she would definitely come looking for him.
Wang Hui added, "There’s one more thing."
Yang Fei looked at him and said, "Speak."
Wang Hui said, "Sky Net is also taking covert action. Zhang Yunlong is part of Sky Net’s upper echelon. Furthermore, with the previous incident of Will being murdered, the upper echelon of Sky Net is furious. The announcement from the International Madman that he was emerging again is seen as a provocation by them, and they are preparing to launch an eradication campaign against the International Madman."
A sharp glint flashed in Yang Fei’s eyes as he stared coldly at Wang Hui.
Wang Hui felt as if a thorn was in his back, feeling as though a ferocious beast from the primeval times was staring him down, he inwardly cursed his misfortune.
Damn, he knew he shouldn’t have mentioned it, getting too smart for his own good.
Yang Fei’s gaze swept continuously across Wang Hui’s face. After a while, the intense aura around him dissipated, and he said indifferently, "Are you questioning my identity by telling me this?"
Wang Hui quickly bowed his head, "I wouldn’t dare, I... I..."
He wished he could slap himself several times.
Just having suspicions was enough; why did he have to voice them?
Seeing his demeanor, Yang Fei couldn’t help but laugh heartily and said, "You’re right, I am the head of the International Madman, they call me Madman King, or by another nickname, Tang."
Seeing Yang Fei openly admit this identity, Wang Hui took a deep breath, his eyes filled with fright as he looked at Yang Fei and said, "Mr. Yang, I... I wasn’t trying to probe into that layer of your identity, rest assured, I will absolutely not speak of it to anyone."
He was worried that Yang Fei would kill him to silence him.
After all, the identity of Madman King was now too valuable.
Sky Net was already offering a one billion US Dollar reward worldwide to find information on members of the Madman Organization. If he could provide information solely on Madman King to the Sky Net Organization, he believed the reward would be even greater.
Seeing the terrified look on his face, Yang Fei smiled lightly, waved his hand, and said, "Don’t worry, killing you would serve me no purpose whatsoever."
Wang Hui immediately sighed with relief, "Thank you, Mr. Yang."
Yang Fei gestured toward a chair opposite him and said, "Sit down, no need to be so formal."
Wang Hui was still unsettled, but after a moment, seeing that Yang Fei’s expression was normal and without any intent to kill, he calmed down.
After all, coming from the Wang Family of the Hidden Sect, he quickly adjusted his mindset and sat down in the chair across from Yang Fei, saying, "Mr. Yang, you could actually disappear for a while, avoid the sharp edges. As long as Zhang Yunlong is in your hands, whether it’s Zhang Wenfeng or that lovesick woman from the Zhuge family, they wouldn’t dare to make any rash moves."
"Thanks for the suggestion. But there’s no need. I’m actually very interested in the Hidden Sect now. I want to see what kind of methods these masters of the Hidden Sect have," Yang Fei said with a smile.
Wang Hui, seeing Yang Fei so confident, gave a dry laugh.
Although he admired Yang Fei for reaching his current Cultivation Realm at a young age, compared to those super-strong individuals in the Hidden Sect, Yang Fei was too weak; he did not think highly of him.
Yang Fei looked at Wang Hui and said, "I have a question for you."
Wang Hui, puzzled, looked at Yang Fei and nodded, "What is it, Mr. Yang? Just ask, I shall withhold nothing."
Yang Fei asked, "Have you heard of a person called Fatty Taoist?"
