Chapter 828: One Mountain, Two Religions, Three Sects, Four Groups!

Sage?

Ye Chen was slightly dazed when he heard the two of them addressing him. He thought that they were cultivators too.

In the cultivation world, Foundation Establishment cultivators were called sages, Golden Core cultivators were called sage lords, and God Transformation Stage cultivators were called divine lords!

“There’s no need for formalities!”

Ye Chen smiled lightly. Subsequently, he probed, “I’m Ye Chen. Who are you guys? Why are you here?”

Although he was not afraid of Shang Santian, it was better to be cautious in order to avoid trouble. The identities of the grandfather and granddaughter in front of him were unknown.

Fu Haishan said respectfully again, “Sage Ye, I’m from the Fu Family of Qingyang City near the Broken Soul Mountain Range. I came out to chase...”

He stopped there.

On the other hand, Fu Qingqing looked at the giant eagle and said without thinking, “Grandpa and I came to chase this Golden Flame Spirit Eagle. He promised to get it for me as a birthday present, but you subdued him...”

“Ehem...”

Before she could finish, she was stopped by Fu Haishan’s cough. Fu Qingqing snapped out of her daze and quickly shut her mouth.

“I see!”

Ye Chen came to a realization at that moment. It turned out that he was the one who had ruined their plan. He said while smiling, “I’ve subdued this beast. How about this? I’ll give you one the next time we meet.”

“That’s great!”

Fu Qingqing was thrilled.

Ye Chen chuckled softly and asked, “Did you just say that this place is called the Broken Soul Mountain Range? Are you guys from the Fu family of this Qingyang City?”

“You didn’t know that this place is called the Broken Soul Mountain Range?” Fu Haishan and his granddaughter looked at him strangely.

Ye Chen said calmly when he met their gazes, “You two might not know, but this is my first time traveling. I don’t know much about the outside world!”

Fu Haishan’s heart skipped a beat.

It was his first time traveling!

He did not know much about the outside world!

This person’s background was definitely not simple. It was extremely likely that he came from those supreme great sects, because only the core disciples of these sects never came into contact with the outside world.

Thinking to this point, he became even more respectful, “Sage, if you don’t mind, you can stay at the Fu family for a few days. Let’s chat as we walk.”

He was a smart person. After knowing that Ye Chen was most likely a sage who came from an extraordinary background, he thought of taking the opportunity to befriend him.

Ye Chen pondered for a while and said, “That’s a good idea!”

Coincidentally, he had just entered Shang Santian and was a newcomer. He did not know anything about this place. Since Fu Haishan was so nice to him, he would not reject him.

“My dear daughter, it’s time to go!”

The little girl hugged the eagle’s neck tightly and begged, “Daddy, I want Goldie to carry me high up in the sky...”

Ye Chen took a glance at the giant eagle, and the latter shuddered. He dared not dawdle and got Mengmeng to stand on its back obediently. It then flapped its wings and leaped into the sky.

Fu Qingqing was envious.

Along the way, Ye Chen gained a rough understanding of Shang Santian through Fu Haishan’s introduction.

So this place was called the Kunlun Ruins. The reason why the five ancient clans called themselves Shang Santian was purely because they looked down on the secular world and thought that they were Shang Santian above the nine heavens.

The Kunlun Ruins was huge. It was about half the size of Earth and had a population of more than a billion. Unlike Earth, there were no countries here. There were cities of all sizes and there were hundreds of them.

For a medium-sized city like Qingyang City, its territory spanned several hundred kilometers and its population reached several million. As for large-scale cities, it was even more difficult to imagine.

On the other hand, the Soul Burial Mountain Range was a natural barrier that stretched across the eastern and western worlds of the Kunlun Ruins, and it was over 10,000 kilometers in length. Vicious beasts roamed about within it, and there were countless spirit medicines, causing it to be extremely dangerous. Moreover, the place he was at earlier was the outer area of the Soul Burial Mountain Range.

Ye Chen said intentionally or unintentionally, “Old Master Fu, there’s something that I don’t understand. Since there are no countries in the Kunlun Ruins and there are only cities, then who governs these cities?”

“Naturally, they’re under the jurisdiction of the sects!”

Fu Haishan was already used to Ye Chen’s question. He explained patiently, “Kunlun Ruins advocates martial arts. Therefore, countless martial families and martial sects were born. Mortals rely on the city to survive, and martial sects are above the city.”

At this point, he paused for a moment before continuing, “As a result, every City Governor is a member of a sect. For example, the City Governor of our Qingyang City is a disciple of the King Kong Sect. While the King Kong Sect is responsible for protecting Qingyang City, we also collect the offerings of Qingyang City every year.”

‘King Kong Sect?’

Ye Chen thought to himself upon hearing that. He realized that he had never heard of such a sect from the five ancient clans of Shang Santian.

He could not help but ask, “How’s the King Kong Sect compared to the Sword Sect and the 10,000 Swords Pavilion?”

If he remembered correctly, Shi Qianhan had once said that Wushuang seemed to be in the Sword Sect, and it was the Sword Sect’s Ninth Peak.

“Please watch your words!”

Unexpectedly, Fu Haishan’s expression changed. He said in a low voice, “Don’t mention the 10,000 Swords Pavilion. It’s a taboo now that the 10,000 Swords Pavilion has been destroyed.”

Ye Chen nodded lightly when he heard that.

“As for the Sword Sect!”

Fu Haishan took a deep breath in and said, “It’s a supreme great sect. The King Kong Sect can’t compare to it in terms of foundation and status!”

Seemingly sensing his doubt, Fu Haishan continued, “You may not know this, but there are many top-notch forces in Kunlun Ruins. Outsiders have divided these top-notch forces into one mountain, two religions, three sects, four groups and 12 ancient clans!

“The Sword Sect is one of the three sects. The sect has an unparalleled giant overseeing it, ruling over ten cities and suppressing the vast territory of the Kunlun Ruins!”

When he spoke up to here, Fu Haishan’s face was filled with reverence, “The King Kong Sect of our Qingyang City isn’t amongst the three sects, and it’s far from being comparable to a colossus like the Sword Sect. The 10,000 Swords Pavilion that you mentioned earlier is on par with the King Kong Sect.”

Ye Chen’s eyes flickered when he heard ’12 ancient clans’. He asked, “12 ancient clans? Are the Xiao family and the Bai family among them?”

“That’s right!”

Fu Haishan nodded and said, “Among the 12 ancient clans, there are the Xiao clan and the Bai clan that you mentioned. In terms of status, the 12 ancient clans cannot be compared to one mountain, two religions, three sects and four groups. However, they have been around for more than 1,000 years. Their heritage is beyond our imagination.”

Following his introduction, Ye Chen gained a rough understanding of the different forces in the Kunlun Ruins. Among them, one mountain, two religions, three sects and four groups were like giant creatures that were above the nine heavens. Below them were the 12 ancient clans.

‘Xiao clan and Bai clan...’

Ye Chen snickered secretly, ‘You guys would never thought that I would not only kill all the people you sent to the secular world, but also come to the Kunlun Ruins!’

At the same time, in the Duan clan’s residence in the east of Kunlun Ruins, countless figures stood in the ancestral hall. Every single one of them had a terrifying aura. However, everyone’s eyes were fixed on the ancestral hall before them.
