Chapter 153: Confession
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Are you from a hidden family?
Yue Fei couldn’t help but inquire when he noticed that Mei Changge was unaware of a Grandmaster.
“I guess.”
Mei Changge did not refute and nodded slightly.
“Brother Yue, let me explain it.”
Guo Jing was not surprised to see the curiosity on Mei Changge’s face. It was normal for a hidden family to not know about the outside world.
“A Grandmaster is one of the cultivation realms. For instance, this individual has reached the Grandmaster realm.”
Guo Jing pointed at Xu Chu.
“Postnatal, Innate, and Grandmaster are the three major realms of martial artists in the martial arts world. When one reaches the Grandmaster realm, it means they can establish a sect. For instance, the sect master of the Quanzhen Sect is Wang Chongyang.”
“That’s why it’s called the Grandmaster realm.”
Guo Jing explained to Mei Changge. “Wang Chongyang? Is he still alive?” Mei Changge turned to Guo Jing.
“Of course, Senior Wang is alive.”
Guo Jing gazed at Mei Changge and nodded. He hadn’t anticipated that Mei Changge would be familiar with Wang Chongyang’s name, which caught him by surprise.
Wang Chongyang was still in the Quanzhen Sect. He did not understand why Mei Changge said that Wang Chongyang was no longer alive.
As expected, although something doesn’t align in this world, some people still exist.
Mei Changge was deep in thought. According to the plot, Wang Chongyang should have died long ago. But now, Guo Jing had told him that Wang Chongyang was still alive.
Interesting!
Mei Changge’s eyes lit up as he asked Guo Jing.
“How about the Seven Eccentrics of the South? And the Five Supreme Heroes of the Central Plains?”
“Brother Mei, you’ve heard of my seven masters? As far as I know, they’re still in the south.”
Guo Jing had a surprised expression on his face. Outsiders did not know much about his seven masters. The only person in the martial world who knew about them was his other master, Hong Qigong.
“Brother Mei, are you really from a hidden aristocratic family? Why do I feel that you know a lot about the martial world?” Guo Jing looked at Mei Changge suspiciously.
“I’ve heard of them.
Mei Changge smiled and changed the topic.
“Can you tell me more about the situation between the Great Song and Great
Jin
“Let me explain.”
Yue Fei heard Mei Changge’s words and nodded at Guo Jing. “When it comes to the Great Song, all that remains is its name.” Yue Fei’s expression was solemn as he revealed a secret.
“Huh?”
Mei Changge looked at the serious expression on Yue Fei’s face and was a little puzzled. He did not know what Yue Fei meant.
“Guo Jing, do you recall the fortuitous event that descended upon us from the heavens a year ago?”
Yue Fei looked at Guo Jing and said solemnly.
“Brother Yue, are you referring to the foreign object that fell from the sky a year ago?”
Guo Jing was taken aback.
“That’s right, in fact, a year ago, the Great Song had already become a mere name.”
“That’s impossible, Brother Yue. In this year, there was no chaos in the Great
Song. Moreover, the Great Song army kept expanding. How is that possible?”
Guo Jing had a look of disbelief on his face. He could not wrap his head around Yue Fei’s words.
“Everyone, please don’t spread what I’m about to say.”
Yue Fei turned to Guo Jing and Mei Changge. He did not care that Xu Chu was Mei Changge’s guard.
“A year ago, a strange object fell from the sky and landed in the Great Song’s
Imperial City. It was picked up by the Great Song’s Imperial Family.”
“And this was also the beginning of the Great Song’s fall.”
“In the span of just seven days, all the royal families of the Great Song perished one by one. This event has remained concealed for a year.”
Yue Fei’s tone was calm as if he was telling an ordinary story. However, this story was inexplicable.
“General Yue, are you suggesting that what the Imperial Family of the Great Song received was not an auspicious omen but a curse?”
Mei Changge, who stood at the side, wore a curious expression. He understood that an object that had fallen from the sky should be a treasure, but it had, in fact, led to the demise of the entire royal family.
Mei Changge felt a little strange.
“That’s right. If not for the fact that the royal court hid it, the Great Song would probably have been in chaos long ago.” Yue Fei said helplessly.
“Could it be that the Great Song army…”
Guo Jing listened to Yue Fei with a serious expression.
“That’s right. Some families have begun to recruit soldiers in order to seize the highest position.”
Yue Fei spread his hands with a helpless expression.
“Nevertheless, due to the foreign object that fell from the sky a year ago, the martial arts world saw a significant boost in power. As a result, those individuals refrained from launching an attack.
After Yue Fei finished speaking, he looked at Mei Changge as if he wanted to see a change in the latter’s expression.
In the end, Mei Changge’s expression did not change. It was as if he had heard an ordinary story.
“I wonder what the Great Song Imperial Family obtained.” Mei Changge looked at Yue Fei and asked with interest.
“I don’t know, but I heard it was a dragon carved from white jade.”
“I wasn’t there. I heard it from someone else.’
Yue Fei shook his head.
“Furthermore, I have suspicions that the Great Jin’s invasion of the Great Song was facilitated by collusion from within.”
Yue Fei harbored doubts. After all, certain families had been expanding their armies for a year. Even though the martial arts world had seen a significant increase in strength, there were also numerous individuals within the army who had grown in power.
For example, Yue Fei had entered the Grandmaster realm from the Innate realm. In the past, it would have been impossible.
“As for the Great Jin collaborating with foreign races, I was unaware of it until Guo Jing informed me.”
Yue Fei looked at Guo Jing.
He had been training his Yue Army when he heard about Guo Jing’s intelligence.
As for the Great Jin, Yue Fei was only interested in the so-called foreign races.
“Initially, I believed they were regular humans. However, as I infiltrated the Great Jin, I discovered that all sorts of repulsive creatures had taken residence on the bodies of numerous individuals.
Guo Jing nodded and explained how he had discovered the existence of the foreign races.
“I see.”
Mei Change was enlightened when he heard their words. It was a coincidence that Guo Jing discovered the foreign races.
However, Guo Jing realized that these foreign races were quite powerful and seemed to be threatening the Great Song, so he informed Yue Fei to come over.
Moreover, the people of the Great Jin also launched attacks on specific cities within the Great Song, and Xiangyang City was a city high on the Jin’s list of objectives.
It seems like it’s because of the treasure that fell from the sky. Foreign races have also appeared in this world through the stargate.
Mei Changge was deep in thought. He looked at Guo Jing and Yue Fei, wondering if he should tell them that he was a guest from another world.
Mei Changge had no doubts about Yue Fei’s talent.
If the Yue army were to launch an assault on the Great Jin, the latter would likely struggle to fend off the attack. The Yue family’s military prowess was also renowned, featuring some of the finest talents in the field.
Regarding Guo Jing, Mei Changge had gained a rudimentary understanding of him. Despite his experiences differing from Mei Changge’s recollections, his sense of chivalry remained undiminished.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have noticed the changes in the people of the Great Jin and informed Yue Fei immediately.
Mei Changge thought for a moment and finally decided to make things clear to the two of them.
Guo Jing and Yue Fei were both astute individuals. Despite Mei Changge mentioning that he hailed from a hidden family, they had already surmised that he did not truly belong to what was conventionally referred to as a “hidden family.”
“Do both of you know the name of the foreign race?”
Mei Changge thought for a moment and asked the two of them.
“I don’t know.”
The two of them shook their heads at the same time. Then, they looked at Mei Changge with anticipation and curiosity in their eyes.
“The lord said that it is a Ghoul.”
Xu Chu couldn’t help but speak in a subdued tone when he noticed the inquisitive expressions on their faces.
“Ghouls?”
Yue Fei asked, looking at Mei Changge and waiting for him to continue.
“The two of you have guessed that I’m not a disciple of a hidden family, right?”
Mei Changge smiled and a unique aura emitted from his body.
Noble, mysterious, and dignified.
This time, Mei Changge didn’t hold back his presence. His Transcendent power descended upon the two of them instantly. Of course, Mei Changge didn’t intentionally exert pressure on them. He simply let his aura flow naturally after suppressing it, almost like a reflex.
“A Grandmaster!”
Yue Fei’s eyes were filled with surprise, and his face revealed a knowing expression.
Guo Jing had the same expression on his face. He did not expect the young Mei Changge to be a Grandmaster.
“In our realm, it’s not referred to as a Grandmaster. We call it a Transcendent.”
Mei Changge smiled and said, the Transcendent aura on his body converging again.
“Where are you from, Brother Mei?”
Yue Fei asked Mei Changge with a solemn expression.
Mei Changge did not answer. Instead, he stretched out a finger and pointed at the sky outside.
“From the sky?”
Guo Jing asked with a puzzled expression.
“You can think of me as a visitor from beyond the heavens.”
Mei Changge smiled.
“A visitor from beyond the heavens?”
Yue Fei’s gaze was solemn. He did not expect to hear such an answer.
“I’ll be frank with both of you. I came to this world to find talents.” Mei Changge looked at Yue Fei and Guo Jing and said bluntly.
“Find talents? Could it be that you’re a sect master?”
Yue Fei looked at Xu Chu with a puzzled expression.
When they were fighting with the black-robed men, Yue Fei noticed how Xu Chu addressed Mei Changge.
“That’s right. I want to expand my forces, so I’m in need of talents.”
Mei Changge nodded subtly and went on, “Let me share a secret with the both of you.”
“What secret?”
Guo Jing asked curiously.
“This world may continue to exist for another year or two, but after that, the entire world will crumble.”
“There’s another possibility that a large number of foreign races will appear in this world.”
“Of course, this world will still shatter in the end.
Mei Changge extended two fingers and said to the two of them.
“You mean that something will happen to this world sooner or later?”
Yue Fei’s expression was solemn. He did not know if he should believe Mei Changge’s words.
Nevertheless, from his and Guo Jing’s perspective, the notion of the world shattering seemed utterly implausible.
The world was not a mirror.
However, Yue Fei still held the belief that a significant number of foreign races would emerge. After all, the Ghouls Mei Change mentioned had already made
their presence known in the Great Jin..
