"Hmph! Mission? Without my help, could you two possibly complete that mission?"

"I never expected this! This kid actually dared to kill the Prince of Zhennan!"

"His strength is so much greater than I imagined!"

The gray-robed man narrowed his eyes with a dangerous glint. He didn't want to give up that body so easily, but right now, with Ye Feng protecting him, even he couldn't snatch Sun Muqing away from him unharmed.

"You two go back and report to the Grand Master that I've encountered some trouble in Nanjiang and won't be able to return for at least three months!"

Blood Fiend said sinisterly, "I need to go into seclusion here to heal my injuries. I need to prepare to break through the final level of the evil technique. The day I break through will be the day the Holy Altar is established in Cloud City!"

Upon hearing this, the two old men's expressions changed. The Blood Fiend Elder's strength had now reached the late stage of the Kaiyuan realm, and with the aid of his evil arts, ordinary grandmasters were no match for him.

If one can break through the final level of evil arts, one will be invincible below the level of a grandmaster!

If that's really the case, then who in Nanjiang can be his opponent? The two exchanged a glance, and a smile appeared on their faces: "Blood Fiend Elder, I understand. Then you can stay here and cultivate in seclusion!"

"We must immediately return and report to the altar master. It is time to proclaim the might of our sacred altar throughout the Dragon Kingdom!"

After saying goodbye to Blood Fiend, the two left the manor without looking back.

......

Early in the morning, Ye Feng sat up in bed shirtless, having absorbed and refined his energy throughout the night.

He felt that he had somehow crossed a threshold that was inaccessible to most people, but that threshold seemed to be blocking him.

"As expected, the Qi Movement Realm is much harder to break through than I imagined!"

"Right now, I've barely stepped one foot into the realm of pneumatics!"

Ye Feng took his lack of breakthrough in stride, after all, once he passed the Kaiyuan Realm, each advancement to the next realm was as difficult as ascending to heaven.

In today's society, in this degenerate age, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is depleted, and the earth's veins are even scarcer.

Ordinary people can only cultivate to the peak of the Kaiyuan realm in their entire lives, and some people can't even break through to the Body Tempering realm in their entire lives.

Now, he is far better than those grandmasters.

He was about to absorb all of the Yuan Yang Earth Vein. Ye Feng estimated that in less than fifteen days, the Yuan Yang Earth Vein would be depleted.

At that time, I will naturally break through that last barrier and enter the field of pneumatics.

"Fifty years ago, Master was already a peak Qi-manipulation expert, and his enemies were terrified of him. Compared to Master, I am still a little lacking!"

Ye Feng looked at himself in the mirror and smiled slightly.

From a distance, his body resembled a piece of gentle and refined jade, with lean muscles and perfect lines that were quite captivating.

Soon, Ye Feng got dressed and was about to go out when a scream came from the opposite bedroom.

"ah!!!"

Ye Feng pushed open Sun Muqing's door and rushed in. He then saw Sun Muqing staring blankly at her upper body.

There were blood-stained clothes next to him, and his body was wrapped in white bandages.

Night Wind thought something dangerous had happened, and before he knew it, he had seen Sun Muqing naked again.

He quickly turned around and walked out awkwardly, saying, "Mu Qing, I didn't see anything!"

I swear!

“You…” Sun Muqing’s pretty face turned as red as an apple.

That damned Ye Feng, that stinky Ye Feng, he saw it all, but he won't even admit it. He even stripped me naked.

He couldn't have done anything out of line to me, could he? No... impossible, Ye Feng isn't that kind of person.

Does that mean he has absolutely no feelings for me? Or does Ye Feng prefer men to women?

Was her charm really that bad? In an instant, a whole drama flashed through Sun Muqing's mind.

After Ye Feng left, Sun Muqing finally admired her own figure and thought, "I'm not that bad, am I?"

"Ugh! This is so annoying, what am I thinking about?" Sun Muqing patted her cheek.

What's wrong with me? He's such a good person, protecting me time and time again, and never taking advantage of me when I'm in trouble.

Sun Muqing carefully recalled what happened yesterday. Yesterday, a skinny man knocked her unconscious.

When she woke up again, she was already at home. Could it be that the man came for her?

"It hurts!" Sun Muqing turned to the side and looked at her back.

She gently removed the white gauze, revealing a 1-inch-long cut, but the wound miraculously scabbed over and fell off overnight.

Feeling only a slight pain, Sun Muqing quickly changed her clothes and went out.

"Where are my parents? They..." Sun Muqing asked worriedly.

"They were a bit frightened yesterday, but they've woken up now and are at Longcheng First Hospital!"

"Let me take you there to have a look!"

Sun Zhonghai and Chen Xinyi were fine, but they were quite frightened. Half an hour later, Ye Feng arrived at the hospital.

On the third floor of the inpatient department, Sun Zhonghai and Chen Xinyi were sitting in wheelchairs on a hospital bed.

"Mr. Sun, you have suffered a minor injury. Just take your medicine and rest for a few days as I told you, and you'll be fine!"

"Thank you so much! I'll be discharged today!" Sun Zhonghai was worried about his daughter, so he asked the bodyguard next to him to handle the discharge procedures.

"Dad! Mom!" Just then, Sun Muqing walked in. Chen Xinyi and Sun Zhonghai were so excited to see Sun Muqing again that they couldn't help but shed tears.

"Daughter! You've worried us to death!"
