"Hopefully, he's not serious!"
Looking at the serious and earnest Huang Xiaofei, Ye Feng could only think this way. After all, he couldn't change other people's thoughts.
Ten hours later, near evening!
"I'm going to kill you!"
"I'm definitely going to kill you!"
Finally breaking free from the bewildering formation, Meng Haifeng soared into the sky riding his Flying Sword, filled with furious rage. The terrifying aura of the Fourth Level Tribulation Crossing Realm erupted completely and unbridledly! Along the way, countless people avoided him preemptively; not a single person dared to provoke him!
Night fell!
Meng Tangyu continued the journey with Ye Feng and Huang Xiaofei under the cover of night.
And as the distance to the Star Soul Sect grew shorter, Huang Xiaofei and Meng Tangyu both began to inexplicably feel a sense of pressure. Their caravan was merely one that had developed over several thousand years; they dared not imagine what kind of colossus the Star Soul Sect truly was!
...
The next morning!
When the three finally arrived at the Star Soul Sect, Huang Xiaofei and Meng Tangyu were instantly stunned on the spot.
Where was the promised colossus?
This sect before them looked extremely deserted! Was this really Ye Feng's sect?
"Ye Feng! You finally know how to come back!"
Just as the two were in a daze, Luo Qianxue's furious voice echoed from within the sect.
Luo Qianxue, Bai Tianhong, Xia Tianyu, Leng Wufeng, Luo Kai, and the five Prodigies, among others, quickly walked out from within the sect.
"Xia Tianyu!"
Huang Xiaofei's and Meng Tangyu's gazes landed directly on Xia Tianyu. After all, their caravan had some cooperation with Xia Tianyu's Sky Domain Auction House.
Of course, although the two recognized Xia Tianyu, he didn't recognize them. After all, matters concerning cooperation with him were handled by the President, Huang Dahai.
But the two couldn't figure out why the dignified hidden boss of the Sky Domain Auction House would be in this tiny sect before them.
"Master, why are they here too?"
Walking up to the furious Luo Qianxue, Ye Feng pointed at the five Prodigies and asked with great curiosity.
Why are they here?
What did you do when you went back to the Main Sect? Don't you have any damn clue?
"Ye Feng! You really are Master's good disciple! One trip out, not only did you poach the Main Sect's five Core Disciples back here, but you even brought back a Sect-Protecting Yao Beast, and even conveniently brought back an elder!"
Looking at the bewildered Ye Feng, Luo Qianxue said, gritting her teeth.
Wait!
Luo Qianxue's gaze suddenly fell on Huang Xiaofei and Meng Tangyu not far away. For some reason, seeing the two gave her an ominous premonition.
"Who are they?"
"Don't tell me they also want to join the sect!"
Luo Qianxue stared at Ye Feng and questioned him directly.
"Master, they aren't planning to join our sect."
"Let me introduce you. This is the Young Master of the Chenhai Chamber of Commerce, Huang Xiaofei. This is the Chief Steward of the Chenhai Chamber of Commerce, Meng Tangyu. They returned with disciple this time mainly to discuss some business matters with you, Master."
Hm?
Hearing Ye Feng's words, especially seeing the playful smile Ye Feng revealed at the end, Luo Qianxue somehow felt this matter wasn't as simple as it sounded. After all, her sect was just founded; what business dealings could it possibly have with their caravan?
Meanwhile, Xia Tianyu standing behind showed a surprised and doubtful expression upon hearing their identities. Although he didn't recognize the two, he did recognize the Chenhai Chamber of Commerce President, Huang Dahai.
"Is this kid Ye Feng?"
Luo Kai's gaze, however, fell on Ye Feng at this moment. He even began contemplating how to curry favor with Ye Feng next, so as to obtain some Purple Thunder Violent Lion Great Yao Essence Blood from him.
"Gentlemen, my Star Soul Sect was founded less than a month ago. And as you can see, there aren't many disciples within the sect currently. Most importantly, our sect is poverty-stricken and simply lacks sufficient financial resources to purchase cultivation resources for disciples. I think we should forget about cooperation."
Luo Qianxue walked up to Huang Xiaofei and Meng Tangyu at this moment and spoke directly with a cold expression.
As the Saintess of the Limitless Sect, even though she spent most of her time cultivating usually, her father in this life was, after all, the Sect Master of the Xingji Sect. Even the powerful Xingji Sect had extraordinary relationships with some caravans and auction houses, purchasing large amounts of cultivation resources from them every month.
Hm?
However, Huang Xiaofei and Meng Tangyu were stunned upon hearing this.
Poverty-stricken?
With a prodigal son like Ye Feng around, your sect can be poverty-stricken?
Putting aside everything else, just the nine thousand-plus Nine-Patterned Blood Ginseng Pills thrown away earlier – the cultivation resources their value could purchase would probably be enough for your esteemed sect's current disciples to consume for over ten years!
"Sect Master Luo, I think you may have misunderstood. Our purpose in coming here this time is not that."
Saying this, Huang Xiaofei recounted the transaction details of the Blood Ginseng Pill formula.
Stunned!
After hearing this, Luo Qianxue was completely stunned on the spot!
The Blood Ginseng Pill formula! An Eighth Grade pill formula that had long been lost! If they could really refine Blood Ginseng Pills, and sell them exclusively... the profit would be simply unimaginable!
But what did this have to do with her? Every day she relied on the excuse that the sect had nothing to refuse people who came to visit the sect. Now, she was told that the Star Soul Sect would have a large sum of Spirit Stones credited every month in the future?
"Master! As your Eldest Direct Disciple, the Eldest Senior Brother of all junior brothers in the entire sect, helping the sect develop and grow stronger is fundamentally disciple's responsibility!"
Ye Feng walked over at this moment, looked at Luo Qianxue, and spoke with a righteous air. He even fantasized inwardly about how Luo Qianxue would praise him next. After all, looking across the entire Xuan Tian Continent, where else could she find an Eldest Disciple like him, willing to toil mentally and financially for the sect!
Seeing Ye Feng's smug expression practically begging for praise, Luo Qianxue's face turned icy with anger, wishing she could slap Ye Feng dead with one palm strike!
I knew it!
I knew these two coming here definitely wasn't anything good!
I knew anything related to this wicked disciple Ye Feng would definitely not be good!
I don't want to develop the sect! Damn it, I don't want to develop the sect! Disrupting my cultivation plan like this, when on earth will I be able to undergo tribulation, ascend to the Upper Realm, and take revenge!
Luo Qianxue's mentality completely exploded at this moment!
"Ding! Reminder to Host: The gray-robed elder will arrive at Star Soul Sect in three minutes. Deducting one use of today's Peeking into Heavenly Secrets function opportunity."
Just then, the System's notification sounded in Ye Feng's mind. This was because Ye Feng had long ago issued a command to the System: use one Peeking into Heavenly Secrets opportunity; if the gray-robed elder dared to pursue again, then remind him just as he was about to catch up.
"Xiao Xue! There's a gray-robed elder who has been chasing us all the way! He's about to reach the Star Soul Sect! Go intercept him in advance! Don't kill him yet! Beat him until even his mother wouldn't recognize him! Beat him senseless!"
Ye Feng beckoned to the Blood-Devouring Mantis in human form not far away and finally issued the order to intercept.
