"Pfft!"

Seeing Ye Chenfeng completely ignore the elixir, Li Dajiang spat out another mouthful of blood.

He actually gave away an Earth Profound Pill so casually, it was simply a waste of a precious treasure.

"Do you know why I didn’t kill you?"

Ye Chenfeng asked.

"No... I don’t know..."

Li Dajiang shook his head, his body trembling.

"Because you have something I want."

Ye Chenfeng smiled slyly like an old fox.

Thinking of something, Li Dajiang quickly refused, "No, this is for Master. I cannot comply with your request, senior!"

"Do you think you have a choice now?"

Ye Chenfeng chuckled.

"Senior, no! It’s absolutely not possible!"

Li Dajiang cried out in fear.

Ye Chenfeng shrugged, "In that case, I can only kill you. Whether you hand it over yourself or I kill you and retrieve it, it makes no difference. I’m not lazy, I’m very industrious. I’m not afraid of trouble at all."

"Senior..."

Li Dajiang’s eyes welled up with tears.

Under Ye Chenfeng’s overwhelming aura, he could only take out a wooden box from his body.

Trembling, he handed it to Ye Chenfeng.

After receiving the box, Ye Chenfeng smiled, "You guys are really lucky, I’ve killed enough people in the game today. Get lost!"

"Thump!"

Li Dajiang’s vision went dark, and he fainted.

"Hurry and get lost!"

Cao Tianyang shouted explosively.

Immediately, Li Dajiang and the other two fled as if driven mad.

Just as Liu Zhishang and his group were about to leave, a cold shout echoed, "Did I ever say you could leave?"

A large group of people, numbering in the hundreds, appeared around the villa.

But the person at the forefront was twirling the iconic Luminous Pearl in his hand.

If it wasn’t Shang Wenxing, then who?

Ye Chenfeng glanced at Shang Wenxing and ignored him.

"Thank you, Young Master Zhao, for the elixir."

Cao Tianyang knelt on the ground, expressing his gratitude to Ye Chenfeng.

"Take the elixir and try it!"

Ye Chenfeng ignored him and entered the villa with the box.

Cao Tianyang was overjoyed.

He took the elixir and then sat cross-legged on the ground.

Soon, white mist rose from his head.

His face twisted in extreme pain and agony.

...

A few minutes later, there was a loud boom.

Cao Tianyang’s barrier was broken.

Early stage of the Heavenly Rule!

The realm Cao Tianyang had longed for was finally reached.

Moreover, his cultivation was still crazily increasing, as this elixir was even more powerful than the Xuanyuan Pill.

But remembering Ye Chenfeng’s words, Cao Tianyang stopped.

He chose to keep his cultivation at the early stage of the Heavenly Rule.

He decided to take future steps steadily, cultivating step by step.

...

"Shang Wenxing, you scoundrel, I truly did not expect that everything was part of your scheme. You waited for all of us to gather and then used Young Master Zhao to eliminate all of us so that Lan City would be yours. What a clever plan!"

Liu Zhishang glared with bloodshot eyes, seething with rage.

Others chimed in, "And we never expected even Cao Tianyang to be your pawn. You had arranged everything long ago, waiting for us to fall into the trap."

Shang Wenxing scanned the crowd, "Unfortunately, Ma Tianling didn’t come. And there are still the four great families, so how can you say I’m dominant in Lan City?"

"Since we’re in your hands, do whatever you wish!"

Liu Zhishang said coldly, "But you should know that you’ve offended Li Dajiang. If his master, Fan Jingfeng, appears one day, you’re doomed to annihilation."

"Lord Shang, Huang Kesheng is willing to follow you!"

"Lord Shang, we’re willing to follow you too!"

...

Suddenly, there was a betrayal from Liu Zhishang’s side, one after another defecting to Shang Wenxing’s side.

"You!"

Liu Zhishang was so enraged his face turned livid, his eyes bulging, and he choked to death with anger...

Inside the villa.

Ye Chenfeng’s eyes were shining brightly, and he said excitedly, "With this Yang Spirit Fruit, I can refine a Spiritual Awakening Pill and help the Undying Monsters awaken their spiritual senses! If Fan Jingfeng comes, I can basically awaken the Undying Monsters." 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

Inside the box lay a grape-sized fruit, bright red as if about to ignite.

This was the Yang Spirit Fruit mentioned by Ye Chenfeng, absorbing the essence of Earth Fire daily to grow.

Once it reaches a certain stage, the Yang Spirit Fruit can develop spiritual intelligence, transforming into a spiritual embryo.

This is recorded in Gan Luo’s book.

In reality, it was the first time Ye Chenfeng encountered one.

In fact, Ye Chenfeng had long discovered that Li Dajiang was concealing the Yang Spirit Fruit; otherwise, he would have resolved the situation with everyone at the restaurant.

He was afraid of making mistakes, so he spared Li Dajiang until now.

Later, Shang Wenxing arrived at the villa.

Ye Chenfeng sat upright, watching Shang Wenxing with a smile.

Realizing something, Shang Wenxing kneeled before Ye Chenfeng with a thud, "Young Master Zhao, I know I was wrong. I shouldn’t have used your divine power to eliminate my rivals and take over all of Lan City. It was all my fault, please punish me, Young Master Zhao."

Ye Chenfeng quietly watched him.

Shang Wenxing was already drenched in sweat, his body trembling incessantly.

His life and death were in Ye Chenfeng’s hands.

"Stand up!"

Ye Chenfeng said calmly.

Fortunately, Shang Wenxing confessed his intentions directly; otherwise, Ye Chenfeng would never have let him live.

"Thank you, Young Master Zhao!"

After standing up, Shang Wenxing looked at Ye Chenfeng with puzzlement, "Young Master Zhao, there’s something I don’t understand. Why did you let Li Dajiang go? Isn’t that like releasing a tiger back into the mountain?"

Ye Chenfeng’s smile was meaningful, "I just want Fan Jingfeng to come. Now that I’ve taken a treasure from his disciple, he will come without me having to find him."

Shang Wenxing’s eyes lit up, and he exclaimed, "Young Master Zhao, what a brilliant move!"

"These days, arrange for people to keep a close watch. Inform me immediately if there’s any news!"

Ye Chenfeng instructed.

Shang Wenxing chuckled, "Rest assured, Young Master Zhao, everything will be crystal clear."

Somewhere in Lan City.

Li Dajiang shakily dialed a number.

"Hmm?"

Soon, a cold voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Reporting to Master, the treasure has been taken by someone..."

Li Dajiang said with fear and trepidation, breaking into a cold sweat after finishing.

"Hmm, understood."

On the other side, there was only a cool response.

"Whew!"

Li Dajiang exhaled deeply, then collapsed to the ground.

It was as if making a call was akin to climbing a mountain of knives and descending into a sea of fire.

But Huang Shi and Huang Ren understood that the person who could terrify Li Dajiang like this was his master, Fan Jingfeng.

"I will come to Lan City immediately!"

The voice from the phone spoke again.

Li Dajiang, after hanging up, was filled with excitement and anticipation.

He banged the table angrily, saying coldly, "Young Master Zhao, just wait. The humiliation you gave me today will all be avenged when my master arrives!"

For the past few days, Ye Chenfeng had been either refining pills or playing games.

However, there was a small incident where Shang Wenxing’s granddaughter, Shang Xue, persistently harassed him.

She tried various ways to charm Ye Chenfeng, leaving him rather helpless.

On this day, Bing Xuanqing arrived. It was Chen Xijun’s birthday banquet.
