Chapter 618: Chapter 312 Water Town Forbidden Land_2
The man in black took the helicopter to drive away the boats, but he spared this particular area.
Qian Mingxing immediately picked up the phone, and moments later, he smiled.
"It’s settled!"
"The waterway beside us is personally sealed off by the authorities. They said something significant is going to happen today, so no one is allowed to approach the island without permission. My dad is well-connected with the upper echelon, and they agreed to let us sneak in quietly if we cause no trouble."
Wei Qingqing cheered upon hearing this and quickly joined them on their boat.
The boat sailed around the perimeter of the waterway and quietly merged into the sealed-off area.
Standing at the bow, Wei Qingqing curiously looked around, marveling in her heart.
"These people are so intimidating, they don’t seem like ordinary folks, more like superhumans! Look, those over there are dressed in ancient outfits, and others in Zhongshan suits. Are they filming a movie on the island?"
Wei Qingqing asked curiously.
In the surrounding waters, more than 30 boats were docked, each carrying four or five people.
These individuals were tall and imposing, their eyes emanating golden light.
Even from a distance, it was clear that their identities were extraordinary.
On a nearby boat, an elder turned his head upon hearing the voices and addressed Wei Qingqing calmly:
"Young girl, didn’t your elders tell you to observe more and speak less when traveling? Be careful, trouble arises from careless words."
Wei Qingqing was startled and quickly covered her mouth.
She was at least 30 meters away from the elder and didn’t speak loudly. How could he hear her?
What impeccable hearing this old man has! Could there really be such a thing as superhuman hearing?
Seeing Wei Qingqing’s fear, the elder chuckled, not expecting her to be so easily frightened.
Beside the elder, a seven or eight-year-old girl was standing.
Since earlier, she had been watching Wei Qingqing and her companions. She wasn’t suspicious of them but rather found the presence of young people refreshing compared to her stern grandfather.
The atmosphere seemed lighter on this side.
While her grandpa was good, he could be too serious at times.
Looking at Wei Qingqing with wide eyes, the little girl eagerly said:
"Big sister, there’s going to be a century war today, are you here to watch and learn too?"
"Century war?"
Everyone showed perplexed expressions.
The name sounded significant, but there was no sign of activity that they had noticed.
For some reason, Zhou Ya responded first, quickly saying:
"Little sister, are you excited about this war?"
"Of course, the duel between Lin Beichen and Qin Wenwu is the strongest human fight in the past 300 years!
Grandpa and others said if this war yields a decisive result, it might become the most important battle in the last thousand years. Our family put in great effort to get a ticket to watch it."
The little girl didn’t realize Zhou Ya was probing her and continued boasting proudly.
Lin Beichen? Qin Wenwu?
Zhou Ya and her group were stunned.
The elder noticed this and frowned.
"What, you don’t know Lin Beichen and Qin Wenwu? Whose disciples are you?"
A thousand years? Three hundred years?
The immense time span left Wu Haoyu and Qian Mingxing bewildered.
Could this be a filming set?
They sneaked in and didn’t know the lines, so the people on the island mistook them for actors too?
Where’s the camera? Where’s the director’s crew?
Wu Haoyu and others wanted to look around, but Wei Qingqing noticed the elder’s gaze and quickly said:
"Sir, we are from the Imperial Capital. Do you know Brother Wolf from the capital?"
In Wei Qingqing’s mind, Brother Wolf, who governed hundreds of followers outside the Imperial Capital, was a big shot.
"Brother Wolf? Haven’t heard of him, could he be an expert from the Myriad Beasts Sect?"
The elder looked puzzled.
He hadn’t heard of Brother Wolf, but the Imperial Capital was a place of great talents. Since this man had made a name for himself there, he might indeed have some skills.
"Since Brother Wolf sent you, follow me. I have some connections with the Myriad Beasts Sect. Strictly speaking, you should call me uncle-master."
The elder smiled faintly, finally dispelling his doubt.
"But how do you cultivate, being at your age yet without even a trace of inner strength, and so unfit in physique? Are you indulging in feasting without proper training?"
Having accepted their identity, the elder immediately adopted a senior’s tone.
Wei Qingqing and others chuckled awkwardly, unsure how to respond.
Among them were mere students and working professionals.
Out of the men, Wu Haoyu and Qian Mingxing had the best statuses, living a life without hardships, but their last contact with training was at least three years ago.
"Sir, is your inner strength strong?"
Wei Qingqing retorted.
Wei Qingqing widened her eyes, her face showing innocent curiosity, making it impossible to get angry.
"You, girl, are poorly trained yet you question me. You follow the Beast Path but should respect your elders."
The elder looked sternly at them, his eyes flashing with suspicion.
Were these people ordinary folk?
This thought crossed his mind but was quickly dismissed.
The area had been officially sealed off, and several helicopters were arranged by Charlie Chan days ago.
Ordinary people couldn’t sneak in.
Hence, these individuals must have relied on family privileges to be here.
These families were too much, bringing untrained disciples for such an event.
The elder sighed and coldly said:
"You lack training and don’t study seriously. Even if you watch the century war, you won’t gain enlightenment, wasting such a valuable opportunity. For the sake of the Myriad Beasts Sect, I will explain to you."
"Within the human body, there are Seven Meridians and Eight Meridians. The intersections of these meridians are the upper and lower Dantian. Qi power is gathered from the organs and blood vessels into the meridians and stored within the upper and lower Dantian."
"It’s this understanding of cultivating qi power that fundamentally differentiates us from ordinary people.
The martial arts and superpower movies you’ve seen mostly derive from our abilities, though greatly exaggerated by the film industry to earn viewers’ money."
Wei Qingqing and others listened confusedly for a while, still not comprehending.
"Sir, you’re saying there truly exist martial arts manuals and martial arts masters in this world?"
Qian Mingxing pondered.
Yan Zhenyue and Wei Qingqing chuckled, their faces showing doubt.
Only Zhou Ya seemed to be contemplating.
Reflecting on her experiences with Lin Beichen, Zhou Ya felt a sense of clarity.
Lin Beichen had shown many unexpected actions in front of her.
At the time, she didn’t understand, assuming Lin Beichen had extraordinary physical abilities. But now, thinking back, Lin Beichen probably possessed some divine techniques.
"Your Myriad Beasts Sect follows the Beast Path lineage, with a 300-year history. If I’m not mistaken, your Brother Wolf is the Sect Leader of the Wild Wolf Sect."
"If you don’t believe, you can go back and test him; his punch, even if not piercing steel, would easily wield two to three thousand pounds of force."
The elder spoke lightly, yet briefly mentioned the specific power, seemingly looking down on the cultivation techniques of the Myriad Beasts Sect.
Zhou Ya had doubts and immediately asked:
"Sir, is there any sect more powerful than the Myriad Beasts Sect?"
The elder glanced at him and remained silent.
He judged the Myriad Beasts Sect because he was acquainted with them; commenting on other sects could bring trouble.
Though aware of the potential risks, his granddaughter spoke up excitedly.
"Big sister, you’re so silly! Even I know at least four or five sects stronger than the Myriad Beasts Sect. Just take my grandpa for instance!"
"Thirty years ago, my grandpa was the Peak Master of Celestial Sword White Cloud Peak, a top-level expert, known in the martial world as Cold Frost Celestial Sword. His rise to fame was through battling the Myriad Beasts Sect.
In that battle, the Myriad Beasts Sect sent 30 sect leaders to encircle my grandpa on the grasslands, but he traveled a thousand miles and killed them all."
The little girl spoke increasingly animatedly, waving excitedly.
Meanwhile, the elder frowned.
