A crisp pleasant voice rang out. Even though the tavern was full of men, no one dared to provoke her. After all, she was from the Holy Land of Yaochi, and they were all just rogue cultivators.
“If no one steps forward, don’t blame this young lady for being rude!”
As the woman’s words fell, she began forming a hand seal.
Chu Feng heard the sound of bells ringing behind him.
Before he could think further….boom!
A loud explosion came from behind.
The three burly men immediately drew their large sabers and charged at the woman.
Chu Feng thought a fierce battle was about to erupt and was about to get up and move away, but the next moment—
Puh!
All three men coughed up blood and were instantly subdued, lying flat on the ground.
Everyone was stunned. It was like: “I jumped in… and got instantly defeated.”
The woman glanced coldly at the three lying men and snorted, saying, “Take them all away. Wait for the Saintess’s judgment!”
Just like that, the five women dragged the three men out of the tavern.
“The Holy Land of Yaochi is really that powerful?”
Chu Feng was just getting ready to enjoy the show, but it ended so quickly. Those burly men were fourth-rank cultivators, yet they went down without a fight.
“Young Master Chu Feng, if you ever encounter the Holy Land of Yaochi in the future, it’s best to keep your distance.”
“Why?”
“Because most of the women from the Holy Land of Yaochi really dislike men.”
“I see.”
Chu Feng nodded. But it shouldn’t be a problem. He had nothing to do with the Holy Land of Yaochi anyway. Who knows if he’d even run into them again?
After that commotion, the tavern quickly quieted down.
Chu Feng’s plan to gather information had fallen through. Since that was the case, he might as well head to the Sky-Mending Secret Realm.

At the Holy Land of Yaochi’s residence…
Thud—
The three burly men were tossed aside.
“They’re the ones who stole the item. Take them away.”
The woman clapped her hands, her eyes full of disdain.
“Senior Sister, you’re amazing! You took down fourth-rank cultivators in a single move.”
A young girl beside her said those words.
“Hmph! That’s why I say the men in our Holy Land are all useless. They get robbed and still rely on us women to clean up the mess.”
As she spoke, the woman’s voice was full of contempt for the men of their Holy Land.
“Exactly, exactly! They’re not even as good as the Holy Son from the Flowing Cloud Sect who came today. Not only is he incredibly handsome, but his cultivation has already reached the sixth rank. Just a bit below our Saintess!”
As the young girl spoke, her eyes practically sparkled with admiration.
“The Holy Son of the Flowing Cloud Sect may be impressive, but he’s still far beneath our Saintess,” the woman said confidently.
“Ah, Senior Sister… if only the Holy Son of the Flowing Cloud Sect were pursuing me! He’s handsome, powerful…he’s totally the man of my dreams.”
“You should probably break through to the fourth rank first before dreaming too much.”
***
A massive spatial rift appeared before everyone’s eyes. That was the Sky-Mending Secret Realm.
To be precise, one could enter the secret realm by passing through that spatial rift.
Surrounding the rift, many powerful factions had set up camp, sending in their disciples in turn to undergo trials within.
“Whoa! What a spectacular sight!”
Just as Chu Feng landed, he was met with a dense sea of people.
Some were entering the spatial rift, while others were coming out of it.
“Young Master Chu Feng, up ahead is the Sky-Mending Secret Realm. We should proceed with caution,” Eunuch Cao reminded him.
“Mhmm, better to stay low and level up quietly,” Chu Feng agreed wholeheartedly. Just like some hero out there who was super powerful, yet extremely cautious with every move.
Honestly, staying low-key never hurts.
Otherwise, the early bird gets shot. The one who stands out is the one who gets hit!
Standing in front of the spatial rift, Chu Feng looked on in amazement. It was like a layer of black cloth was covering everything inside, completely obscuring the view.
He watched as people around him walked through it one after another, like they were using some kind of wall-phasing technique.
Out of curiosity, Chu Feng reached out with a finger to touch it.
Eunuch Cao landed beside him and, recalling some information he’d gathered about the Sky-Mending Secret Realm, said, “Young Master Chu Feng, the two of us must hold onto this magical artifact together. Also, please don’t touch the rift. If you do, I’m afraid I won’t be able to find you once we’re inside.”
Just as he looked up after speaking, he froze.
Where was he?
Where was such a large and visible young master Chu Feng?
“Young Master Chu Feng? Young Master Chu Feng!”

The moment Chu Feng’s fingertip made contact, a burst of light suddenly flashed before his eyes.
It nearly blinded his 2.4K titanium-alloy-grade vision.
The sensation reminded him of trying to hug the wall and sneak around carefully… only to get hit with a sudden flashbang out of nowhere.
When the light faded, Chu Feng found himself in an unfamiliar place.
First off….trees. Tall, towering trees.
Immediately, Chu Feng’s face fell. Two memories surfaced, and at the moment, he really didn’t want to see so many tall, towering trees again.
“Eunuch Cao, you…”
What the heck! Eunuch Cao was gone!
Chu Feng’s eyes instantly widened.
Great. Yet another solo wilderness survival journey. Thankfully, he had learned from his last two experiences and packed his storage pouch with all the necessary outdoor survival gear.
Just then, Chu Feng seemed to hear laughter and chatter coming from ahead.
People!
Chu Feng’s eyes lit up. No time to waste….he had to find the main group, fast!
He quickly ran toward the direction of the voices.
Closer. He was getting closer!
As the cheerful voices of women grew nearer, Chu Feng could tell it was a group of girls.
A bad feeling suddenly crept into his heart. Surely they weren’t from the Holy Land of Yaochi, right?
Chu Feng pushed through the bushes in front of him and called out excitedly, “Hello sisters, I’m Chu—”
Halfway through his sentence, he froze in place, dumbfounded. At that moment, the laughter stopped too.
White. So much white. So big and white.
That was the first thought that flashed through his mind.
Chu Feng looked at the clothes scattered on the ground, then at the laughing women in the clear spring. But now, their smiles had frozen on their faces.
“Ahhh!!!”
He didn’t know who screamed, but whoever it was, they had quite the voice. Chu Feng was immediately forced to cover his ears.
“Wait! This is a misunderstanding! I didn’t mean to—”
Just as he was explaining, one of the women quickly submerged herself deeper into the water, her face flushing red as she shouted:
“Pervert!”
“No, I’m not—”
Chu Feng had no idea how to explain. He honestly didn’t know they were bathing here!
“Enough talk!”
Another woman instantly conjured a ball of light and hurled it at Chu Feng.
Caught off guard, Chu Feng took a full-on flash hit…right to the face.
“Ah! My eyes!”
He cried out in agony.
By the time his vision finally recovered, five women were standing before him.
Wait a minute. The one in the middle… wasn’t she the woman from the tavern earlier!?
Don’t tell me… all of these women are from the Holy Land of Yaochi!?
“Heh! So it was you! I saw you back at the tavern. As expected, any man who hangs around with those three monkey fellows is no good!”
The woman glared at Chu Feng and spoke coldly.
Hearing her say that, Chu Feng could now be certain….they were indeed from the Holy Land of Yaochi.
Not long ago, he’d confidently declared to himself that he’d never run into people from the Holy Land of Yaochi again. Yet to his surprise, fate slapped him in the face fast….less than a day later, here they were again, and in such an awkward situation too.
Shing!
A cold glint flashed as a longsword shot straight toward Chu Feng’s throat.
Chu Feng quickly raised both hands and gave a standard military salute of a certain nation.
“I surrender! But please, sisters, let me explain first! This really is all just a misunderstanding!”
