"You're not here to arrest me?" Ye Feng asked, a look of confusion on his face.

"Of course not...we had no idea...you were here..."

Wang Feilong said in excruciating pain, his eyes almost bulging out of their sockets.

Ye Feng thought for a moment, then released Wang Feilong.

Ye Feng wasn't the kind of maniac who would kill anyone he saw. Since Wang Feilong wasn't there to arrest him, and they didn't have any deep-seated hatred for each other, Ye Feng figured he was fine with it.

So it would be better to release them.

As the night wind released Wang Feilong, the pain in his body receded as quickly as the tide.

Even so, Wang Feilong was still lying on the ground trembling, his body covered in sweat, which soaked his magnificent brocade robe.

"Kowtowing three times, then get lost," Ye Feng said coldly.

Wang Feilong felt extremely grief-stricken and indignant, and a deep resentment arose in his heart.

But he dared not show it on his face. He could only get up from the ground, kneel down in front of Ye Feng, and kowtow three times respectfully.

"Let's go!"

At Wang Feilong's command, he led his men away.

Ye Feng glanced at Jiang Lingxuan, and Jiang Lingxuan then let Wang Yuhong go.

Watching Wang Feilong, Wang Yuhong, and the others walk away, Jiang Lingxuan said, "Why didn't you kill them?"

"Don't always be killing, killing, killing. Be ruthless towards enemies, but don't kill innocent people indiscriminately," Ye Feng said earnestly.

"What if they come back to retaliate against us?" Jiang Lingxuan asked again.

“I let them go to give them a chance. If they retaliate, then I won’t show them any mercy,” Ye Feng said.

Jiang Lingxuan nodded and didn't say anything more.

Sun Muqing urged, "Alright, let's continue on our way."

The three then set off again, heading towards the burial ground.

The closer you get to the burial site, the lower the temperature becomes.

Although the drop in temperature didn't affect Sun Muqing and Jiang Lingxuan much, since they were both martial artists at the seventh level of the Separation and Union Realm, they could use their true qi to resist the harsh environment.

But this feeling is definitely not pleasant.

Night fell.

Ye Feng, Sun Muqing, and Jiang Lingxuan found a place to rest.

Starting a fire and cooking remained the responsibility of the two women, while Ye Feng used Spirit Dew Grass and ten other auxiliary herbs to begin refining Spirit Dew Pills.

At midnight, the Spirit Dew Pill was finally ready.

Three Spirit Dew Pills lay in Ye Feng's palm, spinning rapidly, the pill patterns within them drifting slowly like wisps of cloud.

Looking at the three crystal-clear Spirit Dew Pills, Sun Muqing and Jiang Lingxuan's eyes seemed to sparkle with tiny stars.

"It's so beautiful, I almost don't want to eat it," Sun Muqing said.

Jiang Lingxuan nodded in agreement.

Ye Feng chuckled and then gave one Spirit Dew Pill to each of Sun Muqing and Jiang Lingxuan.

"Keep these two Spirit Dew Pills safe; they could save your life in a critical moment," Ye Feng said earnestly.

"knew."

At the same moment, in a valley somewhere in the Southern Wilderness Mountains.

Wang Yuhong gritted her teeth and looked at Wang Feilong, saying, "Father, are we just going to let this go like this?"

Wang Feilong clenched his fists, his face ashen, and said, "Of course we can't let this go! That Ye Feng dared to humiliate us like this, showing no respect for Jade Dragon City. Since that's the case, I certainly won't let it go!"

"Moreover, that Ye Feng is a wanted criminal with a hefty bounty on his head from the Nine Heavens Mystic Palace. As long as we kill him, we can exchange his head for the huge reward!"

"That's a full ten thousand high-grade spirit stones, plus a Nine Heavens Mystic Crystal! If I could get the Nine Heavens Mystic Crystal, I might be able to break through to the Divine Ascension Realm!"

Upon hearing his father's words, Wang Yuhong's face lit up with excitement.

"In that case, let's quickly gather our forces to besiege Ye Feng! No matter how powerful Ye Feng is, he has limited manpower! I refuse to believe that we can't deal with him even if we gather the entire strength of Jade Dragon City!" Wang Yuhong said emphatically.

“I’m already doing it!” Wang Feilong said resentfully.

As soon as Wang Feilong finished speaking, figures fell from the sky.

Then, five martial artists appeared in front of Wang Feilong.

These five people are Sun Changqing, head of the Sun family in Yulong City; Li Zhaohui, head of the Li family; Zhou Zhizhen, head of the Zhou family; Wu Liancheng, head of the Wu family; and Jiang Yinglong, head of the Jiang family!

The heads of the six powerful families in Jade Dragon City have all gathered here!

"Lord of the City, why have you summoned us in such an urgent manner?" Sun Changqing asked, clasping his hands in greeting.

Wang Feilong immediately said, "Are you aware that the Nine Heavens Mystic Palace is offering a hefty reward for information about a wanted criminal named Ye Feng?"

“Of course I know. This matter has already caused quite a stir in our Jade Dragon City,” Sun Changqing said without hesitation.

Li Zhaohui added, "It's a pity we don't know where Ye Feng is, otherwise we would definitely capture him alive and take him to the Nine Heavens Mystic Palace to claim the reward!"

Zhou Zhizhen's eyes darted around, and he asked, "City Lord, why are you suddenly bringing this up? Do you know where Ye Feng is?"

"Yes, Lord City, do you have some news?" Wu Liancheng asked hurriedly.

Jiang Yinglong urged, "City Lord, if you have news, just say it! Don't beat around the bush! It's already this late, what are you waiting for!"

Wang Feilong sneered and said, "I do know where Ye Feng is, and I have already fought with him, but unfortunately I am no match for him."

"However, with the help of the five of you, I am confident that I can take him down!"

Upon hearing Wang Feilong's words, Sun, Li, Zhou, Wu, and Jiang all showed great excitement.

"After we take down Ye Feng, we'll go to the Nine Heavens Mystic Palace together to claim our reward. Let's make this clear beforehand: I'm definitely taking the Nine Heavens Mystic Crystals, and as for the ten thousand high-grade spirit stones, you five families will split them equally!" Wang Feilong said decisively.

"That's excellent!"

I agree!

"I have no objection!"

Sun Changqing, Li Zhaohui, Zhou Zhizhen, Wu Liancheng, and Jiang Yinglong all nodded in agreement, and they even looked eager to kill Ye Feng immediately.

"Let's go, let's set off!"

Wang Feilong took the lead and flew up, leading the five of them into the sky.

Wang Yuhong hesitated for a moment, then gritted her teeth and followed them.

The humiliation Wang Yuhong suffered at the hands of Ye Feng filled him with shame and indignation.

Wang Yuhong dreamed of watching Ye Feng die in front of her.

Now that his father is leading the heads of five powerful families to ambush and kill Ye Feng, he naturally won't miss this good opportunity.

It was already past midnight.

Sun Muqing and Jiang Lingxuan have already rested.

But the night breeze did not sleep.

A sense of foreboding crept into Ye Feng's heart; he knew danger was imminent.
