Ye Kuang, Song Dekun, and Jiang Yunfeng's expressions changed slightly. The fact that Commander Long was poisoned and seriously injured was a top secret, and they had no idea about it.

Naturally, they would not know that Qin Feng had come to the Longyuan headquarters last night to save Long Shuai's life.

Ye Kuang's expression shifted between light and dark for a moment before he sneered, "Commander Long, are you joking with me?"

"With your strength, how could Qin Feng possibly have a chance to save you?"

Long Shuai glanced at Ye Kuang and the other two. "Three months ago, I personally went to the vicinity of Yang Kingdom's sea area to carry out a mission, and was accidentally ambushed by five peak Heaven Realm experts from Tian Sheng Palace."

“I was seriously injured and poisoned. If Qin Feng hadn’t healed me, you might have already received news of my death.”

"With such a great favor, do you think I would let you deal with him?"

Ye Kuang and the other two looked extremely grim. Given Long Shuai's status and position, there was absolutely no need for him to lie to them.

"but..."

Just then, Long Shuai suddenly changed the subject. "As long as you are willing to pay some price, I might consider turning a blind eye to your ambush of Qin Feng."

Ye Kuang and the other two immediately brightened up.

"real?"

What price do you need us to pay?

"As long as your request is reasonable, we will try our best to meet it."

Commander Long smiled kindly. "My request is not excessive at all!"

“Each of your three families shall contribute one hundred medicinal herbs that are over a thousand years old and two hundred medicinal herbs that are over five hundred years old.”

"In addition, there are 1,000 plants of various precious and rare medicinal herbs!"

Ye Kuang's face darkened, and he coldly snorted, "You're asking for an exorbitant amount; there's absolutely no way you're going to do that!"

Song Dekun chuckled. "Commander Long, please don't mistake us for easy prey!"

Jiang Yunfeng sneered. "Commander Long, you're not taking our three families seriously!"

"How about the three of us join forces and have a showdown with your Longyuan?"

"Threatening me?" Long Shuai looked at Ye Kuang and the other two with a half-smile. "Do you know what the consequences of threatening me will be? Can you bear them?"

Ye Kuang and the other two frowned, their expressions shifting between light and dark.

Longyuan represents the royal family; going against Longyuan is going against the royal family, so they will naturally be wary of it.

Seeing that Ye Kuang and the other two remained silent, Long Shuai smiled contemptuously. "If you don't have the strength, don't talk nonsense. If I take it seriously, it won't be very friendly to your three families."

"You think I'm asking for an exorbitant amount because you don't know Qin Feng's other identity."

"He is the First Deputy Commander of Longyuan, and his status is even higher than that of Deputy Commander Xiao!"

Do you still think my price is too high?

Ye Kuang and the other two were shocked, and their legs trembled involuntarily.

The First Deputy Commander of Longyuan is the first in line to succeed the next Commander of Longyuan.

Such a status already surpasses that of the three major families.

If Qin Feng were willing, he could mobilize the entire Longyuan to deal with their three families, and even the royal family would lend a helping hand.

They never expected that Qin Feng had such an impressive background.

If they had known earlier, they wouldn't have dared to ambush Qin Feng, let alone become his enemy.

Ye Kuang took a deep breath and sighed softly, his face filled with resentment. "Commander Long, let's pretend we were never here tonight!"

What a joke! To ambush the first deputy commander of Longyuan, the first in line to succeed the next Longyuan commander, is to be an enemy of Longyuan and the royal family.

How dare they?

Although neither Song Dekun nor Jiang Yunfeng spoke, they shared the same thoughts as Ye Kuang.

Long Shuai chuckled. "I've already given you a price, which proves that neither Longyuan nor the royal family will interfere in your feud with Qin Feng."

"To tell you the truth, although Qin Feng is the first deputy commander of Longyuan, he himself is unaware of this identity and has always thought that he holds a sinecure."

"So there's no way he would think of using Longyuan or the royal family to pressure you."

Ye Kuang and the other two were all stunned, somewhat disbelieving Long Shuai's words.

As the first deputy commander of Longyuan, how could Qin Feng not know this?

"Commander Long, are you kidding us?"

Ye Kuang questioned, "Qin Feng isn't stupid, how could he not know how high his status is?"

"And why did you allow us to deal with Qin Feng? Aren't you afraid that the royal family will find out and hold you accountable?"

"As far as I know, the appointment of the first deputy commander of Longyuan requires the unanimous consent of the royal elders."

"Even if the king agrees, without the consent of the elders, no one can become the first deputy commander of Longyuan."

Commander Long smiled slightly. "To be honest, I'm a little ashamed!"

"Over the decades I have served as Commander Long, I have gradually lost my true self and become infatuated with the power that Commander Long possesses."

"Qin Feng is too young and has amazing potential. I'm worried that he will replace me in a year or two."

“I will certainly not allow such a thing to happen.”

"I've said my piece. If you don't believe me, then leave!"

"But I must remind you, once Qin Feng becomes the Dragon Commander in the future, or knows that he is the first deputy commander of Longyuan."

"Given his style of doing things, he will definitely take action against the three of you."

Ye Kuang and the other two's expressions all darkened. They all felt that Long Shuai's words were not an exaggeration.

They had conducted a detailed investigation into Qin Feng and knew that he was vengeful and held grudges.

Ye Kuang, Song Dekun, and Jiang Yunfeng exchanged glances, then Ye Kuang looked at Commander Long and asked, "What if the royal family investigates if we kill Qin Feng?"

Long Shuai smiled and said, "Don't worry, as long as you can successfully kill Qin Feng, I will then accuse him of colluding with the Heavenly Saint Palace."

Ye Kuang and the other two relaxed. Given Long Shuai's status, it wouldn't be difficult for him to do this.

Their only concern now is whether Commander Long is trying to fool them.

Long Shuai noticed the worry on Ye Kuang and the other two's faces and smiled. "As long as you successfully kill Qin Feng, won't you have something on me?"

"Will you still be afraid that I will harm you then?"

Ye Kuang and the other two exchanged glances and nodded.

As Long Shuai said, as long as they successfully kill Qin Feng, both sides will have leverage over each other, making them essentially in the same boat.

Ye Kuang said, "Alright, deal. The elixir you requested will be delivered by tomorrow afternoon at the latest!"

Commander Long shook his head. "No, it must be delivered now, otherwise I'm worried you'll back out if you can't kill Qin Feng!"

"Or perhaps after you successfully killed Qin Feng, you have something on me and won't give me the elixir."

Ye Kuang and his two companions sneered. How could they possibly fail to kill Qin Feng?

Those six peak Heavenly Realm experts were hired at great expense.

Three of them were top experts at the peak of the Heavenly Realm. How could Qin Feng possibly survive?

"Okay, we'll call and have it delivered right away!"

Without hesitation, Ye Kuang and the other two immediately took out their phones and made calls.
