"Mr. Wang! You've gotten yourself into trouble!"

Ye Feng invited the four people to a private room. Before he could speak, the True Monarch of the Canghai Sect sighed and said...

"Those three are elders of the Ghostly Sect, the Three Ghostly Demons!"

"What?! The Ghost Soul Sect?!"

Ye Feng, who was pouring tea, was also stunned, and his movements slowed down involuntarily.

How could it be a cultivator from a higher sect...?

A Nascent Soul stage cultivator from a high-level sect!

When the three attacked, he weakened them by more than half simply by using the upgraded formation.

Then, in no time at all, they each acquired a Five Elements Seal...

Having reached the ninth level of the Golden Core stage, Ye Feng was certain that his magical power and divine sense were no less than those of someone in the early Nascent Soul stage.

He wasn't surprised that he could capture three people using the formation.

But the cultivators of the upper sect...

The Ghostly Sect's skills largely lie in the control of ghosts.

But as soon as Ye Feng unleashed his Divine Thrust, the three unseen ghosts vanished without a trace, like bubbles.

Then, with lightning speed, the three of them were taken down by his Five Elements Seal...

Before the three of them could drink tea, Ye Feng drank a cup himself to calm his nerves.

The upper sect... cannot be solved by dealing with just one or two late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators.

There are also Nascent Soul cultivators, countless cultivators within sects, and all sorts of weapons of war from those sects...

If they find out who I am, that would be a huge problem!

I originally thought the Han Hai Chamber of Commerce would be the first to cause trouble, but unexpectedly, I ran into the You Hun Sect instead.

We haven't even dealt with the Heavenly Sword Sect yet, and now they're serving up another big dish: the Netherworld Sect...

Seriously, what bad luck!

Theoretically speaking, one's behavior is beyond reproach.

Although he re-established the array, the Chamber of Commerce's array remained connected, and it could still function effectively for both monitoring and suppression.

Ye Feng could also cut off the connection, but if he did that, the alarm would go off at Cheng Tianyang's location in less than half a minute.

The other party used force; I retrieved the goods myself and received a penalty of one-tenth of the purchase price.

It's perfectly reasonable!

But the alliance itself is composed of ten major sects and chambers of commerce...

Can the five permanent members of the UN Security Council be compared to ordinary small countries?

If someone rides on your head, wouldn't the Demonic Sect be allies?

Damn it, looks like I'll have to run away again!

The Ghostly Sect is on land, and even at top speed, it would take about ten days to get there.

Damn it, might as well just sell it outright, we're going to run away anyway!

"Gentlemen! I didn't know they were from the Ghost Soul Sect, but since we've already offended them, it's unlikely to end well. If you want to buy Nascent Soul Fruit, Golden Fruit, or Foundation Establishment Fruit, then these next few days will be the time."

I have all the other materials here, even those whose names I haven't heard of. If you provide samples, I can find them in my warehouse. I won't be here anymore after I finish my business in the next few days, so if you want to buy, do it soon.

I have a maximum of three days to raise the spirit stones. After that, I will be temporarily closing my shop. I hope you can understand!

......

Returning home late at night

Ye Feng greeted Xiao Xuan and then entered the secret room.

Now that they're running away, it's time to deliver on the promised pills to those people.

A room costing hundreds of thousands a day is, of course, fully equipped.

He had already bought five mid-grade spiritual artifact alchemy furnaces before entering the room.

Five million for one, more expensive than a defensive robe of the same level!

Compared to flying swords of the same level that cost four or five hundred thousand, this is almost ten times more expensive.

If Ye Feng had the time, he would like to refine it himself!

Although Ye Feng himself wouldn't need these alchemy furnaces for long—he'd replace them with higher-grade ones—keeping these would be useful for the Yunxia Sect members in the future.

It won't be a waste.

Five alchemy furnaces floated in the air, and he divided the earth fire into five even streams. He threw the Foundation Establishment Fruit along with all the auxiliary ingredients into them.

Stir-fry everything together in one go.

Although he turned the fire up to its maximum, his precise control prevented any mistakes.

In just over ten minutes, all five batches of pills were formed and he retrieved them from the furnaces.

Fifteen!

[They're all top-grade! A level four alchemist is terrifying!]

Ye Feng smiled slightly, a hint of smugness in his heart.

The shop assistants really made a killing this time!

Without stopping, Ye Feng continued refining until he produced one hundred and fifty top-grade Foundation Establishment Pills.

Of the eighty employees who remain, almost all of them have earned his approval.

Any excess can be sent back to Yunxia Sect and given to Yang Dan.

Back in the room, Xiao Xuan waited on the bed, her bright black eyes fixed on him.

He only spoke after Ye Feng lay down.

"Hmm...it's taken shape now..."

Ye Feng: ?

"That means?"

"Just be gentle, it'll be fine..."

......

The process was very gentle and quiet, except for a few unconscious noises.

It's completely harmonious!

After the waves subsided, the two embraced quietly.

Ye Feng gently played with a strand of hair near Xiao Xuan's temple.

When will my mother-in-law arrive?

Like parched land receiving rain, Xiao Xuan's face beamed with satisfaction as she softly spoke.

"Mother will be with the Han Hai Fortress for about seven or eight days."

The previous message was that the Hunyuan Sect's outpost in this area sent her a message using their sect token.

However, Xiao Xuan only replied to the letter and did not go to the Hunyuan Sect's outpost.

Ye Feng sighed inwardly.

The dignified Holy Maiden of the Upper Sect is now forced to run away with me, especially since she's carrying a child.

Aside from the small islands near Sanjiaoling, this was the place where the two of them spent the most time together.

But the matter of the Heavenly Sword engagement hasn't been resolved yet. Even if he brings Xiao Xuan to Yunxia Mountain, he'll only be able to live a life of anonymity...

He felt deeply guilty for not being able to provide his family with a stable home.

But there's nothing we can do now...

"Um... I accidentally offended a few people today..."

Xiao Xuan listened quietly without interrupting.

Although Xiao Xuan had purchased materials for Ye Feng many times, she had actually never been to Wanbao Spiritual Materials.

Although not many people know what she looks like, her appearance alone is enough to cause some unnecessary trouble.

If the Hunyuan Sect is involved, the Tianjian Sect will likely also come after hearing the news.

Although Ye Feng didn't say anything, the name "Heavenly Sword" was already on Xiao Xuan's blacklist. Anyone who mentioned it would annoy her.

Moreover, she didn't want to go out after becoming pregnant.

Ye Feng recounted the events in detail, then took out a water droplet and held it up in front of him.

Xiao Xuan suddenly sat up.

"This...is the Soul-Shaping Water of the Ghost Soul Sect! Where did you get it?"

Even now, she still believes that Ye Feng has been dealing with the sea beast carcasses he obtained earlier.

And the spiritual herbs that were "robbed"...

Ye Feng hadn't even mentioned the sect's name yet, but Xiao Xuan recognized it; it must really be quite famous...

"Well...I can't say..."

Xiao Xuan nodded, not pressing further. There were too many things in this world that couldn't be said.

Sect cultivation techniques, sect archives, Daoist vows...

"It's okay, I'll send a message to my local senior apprentice, just tell him you got it from him!"

Xiao Xuan immediately sat up, preparing to send the message.

How many drops are there in total?

"Forehead....."

"This is a treasure of the Ghost Soul Sect. Every single drop of it that has been lost will be investigated. We must find out the truth!"

"Hmm... ten thousand drops"

Xiao Xuan: ......

Xiao Xuan silently retrieved the token and lay back down in Ye Feng's arms.

It's as if nothing just happened.

After a long time,

"Let's find another place quickly!"

———

Ghost Sect

The message transmitted from Hanhai City was quickly delivered to the Nascent Soul Ancestor.

In no time, countless cultivators' tokens received the message.

"Bring this person's soul back to me! We must find out where this thing came from!"

As this angry voice echoed through the hall,

The sect's defensive array is activated.

One after another, battle spirit ships began to ascend into the sky, fully loaded with Golden Core and Nascent Soul cultivators.

Heading straight towards Hanhai Island!
