The taxi driver stopped the car in front of the auto parts shop.

He turned around to explain to Yang Fei and Feng Cai'er.

"The tire needs air, please wait a moment, both of you."

Yang Fei sneered inwardly but did not even glance at the driver.

"No problem, go ahead."

The taxi driver slowly opened the door and swung one leg out.

Suddenly, the driver's hand pressed a spot on the steering wheel swiftly and adeptly.

Then, the guy took to his heels and ran.

Yang Fei reacted incredibly fast.

He sprang from the back seat and grabbed one of the taxi driver's arms.

Yanking him back, he slammed him hard into the seat.

However, a large amount of pink smoke suddenly began to billow from the taxi's interior.

After inhaling just once, Yang Fei's head spun slightly.

He immediately started practicing Turtle Hibernation and held his breath.

The pink smoke in the car grew denser by the second.

A sickly sweet scent filled the air, making one dizzy and blurry-eyed.

Not far away, several big men charged out of the auto parts shop.

In their hands, they carried clubs and steel picks.

Yang Fei sensed that the bewildering smoke was only meant to knock a person out, not fiercely poisonous.

The driver and Feng Cai'er had already passed out.

Yang Fei held his breath; the Turtle Extreme silently coursed through his body, keeping his mind clear.

He was like a dangerous leopard ready to pounce on its prey.

The big men rushed to the car door, and one of them shouted.

"Damn it, must be those White Crane Banner guys again, these bastards are really rebelling."

"White Crane Banner?"

Yang Fei remembered Old Man Feng telling him the story of Xuan Ying Pavilion and the Five Banners Command Masters.

The White Crane Banner was indeed one of them.

The guy closed his eyes and "fainted" quite contentedly.

Several big men opened the car door.

Someone lifted the taxi driver out, clicking his tongue in admiration.

"This guy inside is tough, took the bewitching fragrance and still managed to floor Old Eagle."

"If it weren't for this fragrance, we brothers would have had a tough time."

Yang Fei chuckled inwardly, so the taxi driver's nickname was Old Eagle.

A cold voice said, "Same as always."

"Take these two directly to the back hill of the headquarters for detention, report to the Great Elder."

Another person spoke ruthlessly, "The Five Banners Command Masters are challenging the headquarters together."

"These bastards have all turned; we might as well finish these two off."

The cold voice huffed and said, "Xuan Ying Pavilion is not some street gang."

"After detaining them for a few days, even if they appeal, we have lawyers to help get us off the hook."

"If we kill people, that's real crime."

Having said this, the cold voice sighed.

"Moreover, White Crane Banner, Blue Falcon Flag, Golden Eagle Flag, Black Vulture Banner, and Red Kite Flag all belong to Xuan Ying Pavilion's lineage; we should not resort to fratricide."

Something stirred within Yang Fei, and he cracked open his eyes a sliver.

He saw the taxi's doors and windows were all open, and the bewitching smoke had dissipated.

The man with the cold voice took the driver's seat.

Another man took the passenger seat.

The man with the cold voice started the ignition and the car began to move.

The car turned and drove forward.

While they weren't paying attention, Yang Fei stealthily stretched out his hand and checked Feng Cai'er's breath.

The Little Police Flower was breathing steadily, apparently just unconscious, not poisoned.

Yang Fei felt somewhat relieved.

In the taxi's driver's seat, the two men chatted away.

Yang Fei kept his eyes closed, listening intently.

It turned out that a local taxi company also belonged to Eagle Soaring Worldwide.

This company's drivers were almost all disciples of Xuan Ying Pavilion.

Yang Fei pondered quietly to himself.

These ancient martial arts sects, after blending into modern society, truly had infiltrated every nook and cranny.

In recent days, the Five Banners Command Masters of Xuan Ying Pavilion had gathered at Ming Xia Garden to confront the headquarters over the theft of the Sacred Object.

That was why the Ming Xia Garden had temporarily shut down its villa under the guise of restructuring.

And the disciples under the Xuan Ying Pavilion had also stepped up their vigilance, secretly screening members of the Five Banners.

Hearing this, Yang Fei began to understand.

No wonder the taxi driver had looked so uneasy when he heard Yang Fei wanted to go to the Ming Xia Garden, and even plotted against him and Feng Cai'er.

These guys, they mistook him for a member of the Five Banners.

The big man in the passenger seat was clearly an outer sect disciple, very curious.

"Brother Ming, what exactly is the Sacred Object of our Xuan Ying Pavilion?"

"Why are the Five Banners Command Masters making such a big fuss?"

The man with the cold voice, Brother Ming, sighed.

"Who knows, they say that the Sacred Object left by the Pavilion Master holds a grand secret."

"If one were to decipher it, one could transform into an immortal and become an individual of an immortal's rank."

The big man in the passenger seat spat dismissively.

"Transform into an immortal, all nonsense."

"I watched a TV show just yesterday that debunked a Qigong master's tricks, all just deceiving people."

Brother Ming snorted.

"What real master of Chinese Martial Arts would go out and swindle people?"

"But the cultivation of Qi-Blood and Essence through martial arts is real."

"If it hadn't been for your practice of Kung Fu, your chronic rheumatism would have claimed your life by now."

The big man in the passenger seat laughed along, nodding repeatedly, "Brother Ming is right."

Yang Fei focused and listened to the two men's conversation, learning much more about the inner workings of Xuan Ying Pavilion.

The man in the passenger seat was obviously a chatterbox.

He had barely been quiet for a few minutes before he started talking again.

"Brother Ming, who do you think is more powerful, our Xuan Ying Pavilion's Great Elder or the Five Banners Command Masters?"

Brother Ming snorted, his tone full of disdain.

"Those Five Banners Command Masters, nothing but little men."

"Back when the Pavilion Master took them to the Martial Arts Tournament at Yinxue Tower in Zhonghai, those five guys weren't even qualified to meet the Martial God."

"After the Pavilion Master disappeared, they boasted of having received the Martial Dao True Meaning from the Martial God and Pavilion Master, such tricks are only good for deceiving children."

The big man in the passenger seat hummed in agreement, sounding ingratiating.

"Of course, when it comes to Kung Fu, what are these Five Banners Command Masters? They're not even fit to carry the shoes of Xuan Ying Pavilion's Elders."

Brother Ming sighed, "That's not entirely true, though."

"The Five Banners Command Masters did learn quite a bit of skill under the Pavilion Master when they attended the Martial Arts Tournament."

"Otherwise, how would they dare to challenge the Council of Elders?"

The big man in the passenger seat continually brown-nosed.

"Yes, yes, the Pavilion Master and the Martial God Celestial are like great immortals."

"With just a little bit of what they learned, these kids can swagger about."

At this point, the big man in the passenger seat lowered his voice.

"Brother Ming, I've heard that in the forbidden area behind our Ming Xia Garden, there are ruins left by the Martial God and Pavilion Master."

"Inside the ruins, are there not the Martial Dao True Meaning left by the Pavilion Master and Martial God?"

When Brother Ming heard this, his tone changed.

"What nonsense are you talking?"

"The forbidden area behind the mountain has always been a taboo topic within the Xuan Ying Pavilion; do you want to be expelled?"

The big man in the passenger seat, upon hearing Brother Ming get angry, was immediately scared.

"Yes, yes, my mistake, I won't talk about it again."

Yang Fei's heart stirred: "Behind Ming Xia Garden, there are actually Martial God Ruins?"
