High Martial Arts: I Travel Through Heaven and Earth Through Dreams

Chapter 382 The Meeting of the Five Great Families of the Federation

After hearing the report, Qin Wanshan did not fly into a rage as the man in black robes had expected; in fact, his expression remained completely unchanged.

He simply put down his teacup, making a crisp clinking sound.

"I see."

Qin Wanshan's voice was calm and even, making it impossible to discern his emotions.

The man in black robes was taken aback and subconsciously looked up.

"Master, you guessed it all along?"

Qin Wanshan stood up, put his hands behind his back, looked at the clouds outside the pavilion, and said calmly.

"It would be strange if someone who could achieve an SSS+ rating in a place like the Great Thousand World, where people eat each other without spitting out the bones, didn't even have this little trick to hide their identity."

"The so-called 'Han Feiyu' is most likely just a code name he randomly gave himself in the Samsara Palace."

"He might not even have this name, or his surname might not be Han."

At this point, a glint of light flashed in Qin Wanshan's eyes.

"The Palace of Reincarnation is absolutely protective of the privacy of those who reincarnate. Unless they actively expose themselves in reality, or we can find their cause and effect through some clues, it is like looking for a needle in a haystack to find them in the vast sea of ​​people."

The man in black robes felt as if he had been granted a pardon and immediately kowtowed.

"Your master is wise! Your subordinate is foolish!"

"Step down."

Qin Wanshan waved his hand.

"Keep an eye on things, but remember, don't make a big fuss. It wouldn't be good if the other companies noticed our moves."

"yes!"

The man in black bowed again, then his figure blurred and disappeared into the lake.

Inside the pavilion, deathly silence returned once more.

Qin Wanshan stood there for a long time, until the afterglow of the setting sun spread across the lake, casting a long shadow of him.

"They've kept it well hidden..."

"However, since you are in this universe, in the Great Xia Federation, there will eventually come a day when you will be exposed."

"Moreover... that bottle of [Immortal Essence Pill] is in your hands."

Thinking of that legendary reward, even Qin Wanshan, with his composure, couldn't help but breathe more heavily.

That is the key to the realm of "pseudo-immortal".

For all ninth-tier powerful beings, that was more tempting than any treasure.

"Looks like it's time to meet up with those old guys."

Qin Wanshan had a thought and slowly closed his eyes.

The next second, a strange spatial fluctuation emanated from his body.

His consciousness had already transcended the boundaries of dimensions and connected to that supreme place.

……

【Reincarnation Hall - Supreme Conference Room】

This is a luxurious room located in the trading area.

Unlike the hustle and bustle of the square outside, this place is extremely quiet and has the highest level of privacy.

Of course, the biggest reason why the five great families chose this place is because it is restricted by the rules of the Samsara Palace, which prohibit any form of violence.

The room's interior is decorated in a simple yet grand style, with black walls all around that seem to reflect the starry sky.

In the center was a huge white jade round table, surrounded by only five chairs.

At this moment, four figures were already sitting on four of the chairs.

They come in all shapes and sizes; some are domineering, some are gentle and reserved, and some are old and decaying.

Without exception, they are all the true rulers of this universe—ninth-level powerhouses!

hum!

With a flash of white light, Qin Wanshan's figure appeared on the last empty chair.

He glanced around, nodded slightly, and then sat down calmly.

The five top families of the Great Xia Federation—Qin, Luo, Zhao, Wang, and Li—have gathered here today.

These five families control nearly 90% of the Federation's resources and lifeline; the head of each family is a being who can make the galaxy tremble with a stomp of his foot.

"Hey, Old Qin's here."

The first to speak was a burly man sitting to Qin Wanshan's left.

He wore a set of dark gold armor, his muscles were bulging, his red hair was like burning flames, and he exuded a ferocious fighting spirit.

This man was none other than Zhao Tianba, the head of the Zhao family.

"I noticed you arrived last. Were you secretly checking up information about that 'Han Feiyu' at home, trying to keep it from us?"

Zhao Tianba grinned, his tone slightly mocking, but his eyes were sharp as knives.

Qin Wanshan remained expressionless, picked up the spiritual tea that had been prepared on the table, and said calmly:

"Old Zhao, let's not beat around the bush. Who among us hasn't investigated?"

"I'm afraid your Zhao family's intelligence network has already turned the Federation upside down, hasn't it?"

Having his thoughts exposed, Zhao Tianba wasn't embarrassed at all. Instead, he snorted coldly and slammed his hand heavily on the table.

"They checked! Of course they checked! That's an SSS+ rating! That's a whole bottle of [Immortal Essence Pills]! Something I've been dreaming of, taken by some brat, how could I not be furious?"

"A young punk?"

At this moment, an elderly man sitting opposite slowly spoke.

He wore a Taoist robe, his beard and hair were all white, and he looked like a Taoist immortal, but occasionally a sinister glint would flash in his eyes.

Wang Daoxuan, the head of the Wang family.

"Patriarch Zhao, you are underestimating this top-ranked person far too much."

Wang Daoxuan stroked his beard, his voice hoarse.

"To achieve the highest evaluation in this vast world... do you really think someone like that could be a 'young upstart'?"

"In my opinion, this person is probably a monster cultivated by some hidden sect that we don't know about, or... someone from another universe."

"People from other universes?"

Upon hearing this word, a woman who had been silent spoke up.

She is Luo Qingyu, the head of the Luo family.

Although she is middle-aged, time seems to have left no trace on her face; she remains beautiful and charming, with a cool and noble temperament.

"Elder Wang, we both know the rules of the Samsara Palace. Although reincarnated beings from different universes may meet in mission worlds, the rankings are settled by region. Since he appears on the Great Thousand Rankings of our universe, his true form must be in our universe."

Luo Qingyu's voice was clear and crisp, yet carried an undeniable air of authority.

"Moreover, I'm more inclined to believe he's from within the Federation. Because his way of doing things... has a very strong Daxia cultural influence."

"For example, that code name—'Han Feiyu, the murderer and arsonist'."

Luo Qingyu's lips curled into a slightly amused smile.

"This is obviously a meme; only someone deeply influenced by the ancient culture of the Great Xia Dynasty would choose such a name."

"Therefore, he is not only a person from our universe, but also most likely a citizen of our Great Xia Federation."

This analysis was reasonable and insightful, and the people present nodded in agreement.
