Staying would just become a problem for Rexar. He could hear something he didn’t want to know.

Alex could feel their strength, but he was not worried. His finger glowed green, making Situ Chen quickly alert.

“Don’t worry, this is just extra to make sure no one can really hear what you want to say,” he said while drawing a rune in the air in a swift motion.

“How did you come to this world?” the woman asked.

“Before you ask someone, introduce yourself. My name is Alex, and you already know it,” Alex said as he took a seat.

Situ Chen, meanwhile, stayed silent as his concern was more on the rune that Alex just cast. It was his first time seeing something like this, and he didn’t believe Alex.

Who knows what the effect of the thing he just cast was? For all he knew, it could seal all his power.

The woman was silent for a moment, then removed her hat. She had long black hair with wavy tips. Her eyes were black with a beautiful round face.

‘Her face feels familiar,’ Alex thought. He felt like he had seen her before. He then used his ability, trying to filter through all his knowledge.

“My name is Ying Xue.”

“Xue? Did you, by chance, know Feng Xue?”

“How would you know her?” Situ Chen suddenly asked in surprise. He never once thought of the possibility of hearing that name from Alex’s mouth.

Alex responded by creating a screen that showed her face. It was a memory he got from MingYue.

Seeing the image, Situ Chen was now sure they were talking about the same Feng Xue. The picture Alex showed was not Feng Xue’s real appearance but Lin Hua’s.

“Is she really Feng Xue? My Ancestor’s little sister?” Ying Xue asked, as she was unfamiliar with the photo.

“Her soul currently resides in that body. As I said, she was the one who sent me to you.”

Ying Xue’s eyes narrowed at Alex, “What is her relationship with you?”

But Alex didn’t answer; instead, he laughed, “The universe is so small. To think both of you know her. This means this place is some kind of secret realm in MingYue’s world.”

Alex then became busy with his own thoughts, trying to figure out how it was all related. The average strength of cultivators here was far stronger than that of MingYue’s region.

They even had an awakened system that was more sophisticated than normal cultivation. A few things confused him. In a place with a higher level of power, there should be access to more resources.

Why would they face constant danger from enemy invasions?

Why were they located inside a secret realm? Was it possible for a secret realm to be richer than the real world?

Based on his knowledge so far, this should be impossible for a place with so many people living inside it. If it were an untapped one, it would still make sense because the resources had accumulated, not because it was truly a better world.

Ying Xue started feeling annoyed as Alex acted like they were not there. She also had many questions.

Since Alex was an outsider, didn’t this mean Feng Xue also had a connection to them? This made her wonder if she was fake.

But when Situ Chen came looking for her, he brought some proof and code words that only people from her clan should know. There was a possibility for it to be leaked, which was why they put more tests on him.

After they found out how he knew many crucial pieces of information and how he got hold of them, they decided to trust him. He also proved it through his actions of attacking Shangxi Temple.

“Can you not answer our question? Who are you? How are you related to her?” Ying Xue asked with a sharp gaze.

“Oh, sorry, I was lost in my own mind. You can say she was part of my sect. It’s quite complicated to explain. Have you heard of the BaiYue sect?”

“I only heard a bit of it from Lady FengXue.”

“Well, that sect is half mine, so you can say that should make us allies. Just where is this place compared to the region where my sect exists?”

“Your sect is in the outer region area. We are in the core region located deep inside the planet.”

“Core region? Wait, you are saying this planet is hollow?” Alex said, surprised by the remark.

The theory of a hollow planet was a popular topic in his world. This conspiracy became even wilder after the dungeon break. At least after that event, those flat-earthers were decimated.

Alex hated that community as they spread stupidity. In the past, he often had a lot of debates with them on internet forums.

“Not at the start. My Ancestor is the one who created it to contain all breaches to this planet. He also put up a barrier, making direct entry impossible.”

“Tell me more.”

“Answer me first. Are you an outsider? How did you enter this world?”

“Outsider? Did you mean those that come from another world?”

Ying Xue nodded, “What is your goal? Is this related to Lady FengXue?”

“I wish I knew. Some are being sent to me here. Let’s get to the point. Why are you looking for me?

I am sure both of us still do not completely believe each other. I want to get out of this region. There are many things I need to do outside.”

“I can show you the way out.”

“Not now. I already promised Reina that I would take care of the Zephyr clan. After that, we can go out.”

Ying Xue frowned at his remark, “What do you want to do with them?”

“Are you friends with the Zephyr clan?”

“One of the elders there is an outsider like you. He has been helping us a lot. You can say we are like allies.” Ying Xue said while she started observing Alex.

Now that she looked at him closely, she felt he looked like the other outsider.
