"Does this mean that someone or some force is maintaining the order of the Bound of Universe? Who is the force that maintains the order? The Bound of Universe's imperial court? "Yun Yang asked.
"What imperial court? The martial world is the martial world. Where is the imperial court? " Little Fatty looked at Yun Yang like he was looking at a country bumpkin. "How can there be anyone or any force that can maintain this rule? This is a powerful force that pervades the entire Bound of Universe … Legend has it that this rule was set by Lord Monarch himself back then. The power of Heaven's Punishment was also set by Lord Monarch himself!"
"Lord Monarch is a terrifying presence that can make the entire Bound of Universe disappear with just a spit of his. Who dares defy him?"
"Therefore, the Bound of Universe's martial world is a place of rules and order!"
"In the Bound of Universe, you can be in any profession. As long as you work hard and achieve something, you'll be recognized. However, every profession has its own rules. Even those that are more unique and aren't mentioned in the rules shouldn't think that you have an advantage. They aren't within the scope of the so-called rules, but they'll still be punished by the martial world's rules. Furthermore, all the rules are imposed on these professions with even more restrictions … "
"Therefore, in the Bound of Universe, one has to choose an occupation that's more suitable for oneself when one first roams the martial world. It doesn't matter if it's an assassin, a bandit, a bodyguard, a guard, a merchant, a doctor, or even information gathering, fortune-telling, driving a boat, stealing a prostitute, any occupation that is convenient to others is fine … "
"However, rules are rules. No one can violate them! There's no small punishment if one violates them. There's only one outcome – death! Annihilation of one's soul! "
Strict rules!
Severe punishment!
Yun Yang could not help thinking, 'Wouldn't the world be much more peaceful this way?
At least, some of the weaker ones would be protected by the entire world. The rules set by this Lord Monarch have truly resonated with me. '
However, these rules …
It took Yun Yang a great deal of effort to digest the information. Even though there were still some parts that he could not understand, he memorized them and dissected them in detail when he had the time.
"What about the levels of martial arts in the Bound of Universe? How about the division of forces? What are the reputable sects, noble families, and influential forces … "
Yun Yang tossed out a series of questions. After all, these were what he was most concerned about.
"Aiya, it's so annoying that people like you don't know anything. Do you think that you can only rely on martial arts to roam the martial world?" The little fatty proudly complained in a condescending manner. Then, he began to explain eloquently, "This is like this …"
"Why don't we drink some wine and talk?"
"Then we have to find a good place."
"Alright."
In the beginning, they were shouting about fighting and killing, and in the blink of an eye, but now they were gathering together to drink. Yun Yang was the initiator and facilitator, so he did not feel that it was out of place. However, the fatty's reaction was natural as well. His reaction was strange and unusual.
He clearly knew that his cultivation base was far inferior to Chu Feng's, and they were enemies before. They had once fought to the death, and even fell into a state of waiting for death. But now, he could still be so happy. He was truly a weirdo who could do what others couldn't.
Yet, Little Fatty's eagerness to talk was visible to the naked eye, at least in Yun Yang's eyes. If this was still acting, he would not be a good actor, but an award-winning performance. It was stunning.
"Right, didn't you say that someone is after you?" Yun Yang thought of the question. "It's safer to go somewhere more secluded at this point."
The fatty tensed up when he heard that, looking like he still had some lingering fear. He glanced at the path they had come from and said hurriedly, "Let's go, let's go. Oh, mother, I was too busy telling you the information just now and forgot about this … I've set up a formation for them. Although it's successfully activated, it can't hold them off for long. Now … "
As he spoke, his face turned pale as he urged, "Go, go, go … Let's go that way, let's go quickly."
Both of them changed directions at once and made several turns. After some time, they finally left the deserted area and were in another dense forest.
Before they left, Yun Yang turned back and looked at the forest that had turned into dust seriously, his eyes filled with confusion.
Ever since Emmie came to the Bound of Universe, it seemed to have woken up for a moment before it went back to sleep. However, it was different from the time when it had gone into a defensive slumber due to the depletion of its energy. Now, it had gone into hibernation because it had received an inexplicable benefit that it could not digest immediately. As long as it absorbed the benefit into itself, it would be able to recover without any hindrance.
However, Yun Yang did not know any of this.
The two of them entered the dense forest and circled around. The little fatty found a tree so thick that it would take a dozen people to wrap their arms around it. The crown of the tree was like a huge umbrella, opening up the sky for dozens of feet. What a huge tree!
"Let's talk about it under this tree. Don't …"
Before the fatty could finish his sentence, he was suddenly stunned, his mouth agape and tongue tied as he trembled all over.
A person slowly walked out from both sides of the tree; one tall, one short, one fat, and one skinny. The newcomers had their arms crossed in front of their chests as they stared at Qian Duoduo. Their gazes were filled with mockery. "Qian Duoduo, we're obviously lost but you came looking for us. We should really thank you for your generosity."
Qian Duoduo grew even more dumbfounded, not knowing what to do. The atmosphere was extremely awkward.
Yun Yang stopped abruptly and took a step back, his eyes squinting.
The first thought that popped into his mind was, 'Could this be a trap set by Qian Duoduo?'
Then, 'Qian Duoduo wouldn't be so stupid, would he?'
His final thought was, 'Yes, this fellow is just that stupid!'
Yun Yang was an astute person. Just by looking at the expressions of both parties, he understood everything in an instant.
The awkward situation before him was entirely Little Fatty's own doing.
He had set up the Bewitching Formation to confuse the enemy and the effect was obvious – it had indeed bewitched them. However, he had thought that he was smart enough to find a safe place after escaping, and now, he had automatically sent himself to the other party.
How could something like this happen? Yun Yang could only feel an indescribable sense of collapse.
There was actually such a weirdo in this world!
If it were not for him, the variable, would it not be the same as the saying, 'Heaven's wrongs can be forgiven, but one's own wrongs cannot be forgiven'?
