"Don't you dare try to make false accusations! What Spirit Valley? I don't know anything about it! Now that you've damaged my door, you'd better pay me back with a spirit crystal right now, or I'll report you to the sect and make sure your master suffers the consequences!"
Zhang Changgui had a fierce look on his face. Now, not only would he not return the spirit grain, but he could also earn another spirit crystal.
"You, surnamed Zhang, have gone too far!"
Yang Fu clenched his teeth, but when Zhang Changgui mentioned Ye Feng, he instantly seized on his weakness.
"You seized my land, stole my spirit grains, and now you want to extort my spirit crystals. You don't need to go to the sect to complain; I'll go and complain to you right now!"
Yang Fu finished speaking and left.
Although there are no sect disciples specifically managing the area, a "village chief" is elected and appointed, usually a relative of an inner sect disciple, because they have lived here for a long time and are unwilling to move to the town.
Because of the power behind him, he was elected as the "village chief".
Upon hearing this, Zhang Changgui panicked. He knew he was digging a road and encroaching on farmland; a simple measurement would reveal it.
Normally, if no one says anything, it's fine, but if someone files a complaint, that's a different story.
Seeing that Yang Fu was about to leave, he immediately shouted,
"You, surnamed Yang, you think you can run away?"
After saying that, he swung his sword and slashed down.
Hearing the noise beside him, Yang Fu dodged the blade in a flash, then turned and swept his axe horizontally.
Zhang Changgui was caught off guard, and a cut appeared on his face.
Yang Fu's pent-up anger surged up, and he swung his axe again and again...
They forced Zhang Changgui to retreat step by step...
The commotion the two of them just caused has attracted quite a crowd of onlookers.
While wielding his knife in defense, Zhang Changgui glanced at the onlookers out of the corner of his eye.
"Ouyang He, Li Er, come quickly and help! Our master has just been promoted to outer disciple, aren't you going to come and help?"
Two people nearby who heard the shouts exchanged a glance, grabbed tools from the roadside, and rushed forward to strike Yang Fu in the back.
Yang Fu rolled away to dodge, then looked at one of the helpers who had come to his aid.
"Ouyang He!! We both come from Liuyun Town, yet you dare to attack me! My young master is engaged to your young lady, and you're siding with an outsider?"
Yang Fu's eyes were filled with disbelief, grief, and indignation.
Ouyang He, whose appearance was somewhat sleazy, showed a look of disdain.
"What engagement? I don't know what you're talking about. My young lady and Young Master Ji are a match made in heaven. Otherwise, the family head wouldn't have asked me to come and help take care of them."
"Your good-for-nothing young master has long since fallen to the first level of Qi Refining, and he's spreading rumors everywhere that he's engaged to my young lady. He's a madman just like you. I think we should just arrest you and expel you!"
When Ji Da tricked Ye Feng into sleeping in the dormitory last time, he told him that Ye Feng had fallen to the first level of Qi Refining.
This time, he sent a message through someone else, saying that he had been promoted to the outer sect, without mentioning Ye Feng at all.
Ouyang He had already sent a message to the family head, instructing them to resolve the matter of breaking off the engagement with Ye Feng as soon as possible, since there was no more profit to be made from this Ye Feng.
Upon hearing that Ye Feng had fallen to the first level of Qi Refining, Yang Fu was completely bewildered.
Ouyang He's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he was the first to raise his hoe and smash it at Yang Fu.
This posture clearly indicates an intention to kill Yang Fu on the spot.
"puff...."
The hoe struck his head, and in his dazed state, Yang Fu seemed to hear a sound, or perhaps it only echoed in his mind.
He staggered back three steps, reached up and touched his head; there was no blood...
"You...you've gone too far! I'll fight you to the death!"
Although he didn't know what had happened, Ye Feng's path to immortality was now severed, so he didn't care anymore and could act without restraint.
He wielded the axe with incredible skill and power.
In his early years, he was just a farmer whose family was killed by bandits, but he was fortunate enough to be rescued by Ye Feng's parents.
Later, Ye Wenyuan and his wife Feng Zhen even led him to the bandits' lair, finally avenging him.
From that time on, he followed the two of them and became a servant of the Ye family.
Although he lacked spiritual roots, Ye Wenyuan and his wife acquired numerous martial arts manuals from the mortal realm during their travels.
Having nothing else to do on weekdays, he practiced until he reached his current level.
Even when facing three opponents, he held his own in no way.
They appeared somewhat disheveled as they tried to evade the three attackers, fighting their way from Zhang Changgui's courtyard to Yang Fu's.
The remaining eight spirit seedlings were also trampled beyond recognition.
Yang Fu had erected his own fences in his courtyard, which ironically reduced his hiding space.
He cleaved the carrying pole that Li Er was throwing with an axe, and then grabbed the hoe that Ouyang He was hurling at him, but he could no longer attend to Zhang Changgui's long knife.
The long sword was about to fall on him.
Yang Fu's eyes widened, ignoring the long sword and staring intently at Ouyang He.
"I'll kill you first!!"
"puff!"
The axe swung, and a head fell to the ground...
——
"Senior brother... isn't this Yang Fu you're looking for? Shouldn't we... make a move?"
Kou Ying could no longer bear to watch the situation unfold.
The two of them arrived when Yang Fu started banging on the door and arguing.
Then Ye Feng had Kou Ying use a concealment technique to hide in a corner and watch until now...
Ye Feng was engrossed in reading when he heard this and shook his head.
"Let's take a look first!"
His Water Shield Technique had been upgraded to mastery, allowing for flexible control. Even a thin layer was beyond the reach of ordinary mortals, given his seventh-level Qi Refining cultivation level.
What if these people change their minds if I go out now?
The Qingyun Sect is a righteous sect; they don't tolerate killing their own people who have surrendered.
Moreover, these are all mortals...
This was the first time Ye Feng had ever seen someone die on the spot, even from a distance of about ten meters. He could still smell the metallic stench of blood.
This added a sense of tension and excitement to his heart: I didn't kill Bo Ren, but Bo Ren died because of me.
Even so, Ye Feng felt no cruelty or pity whatsoever.
The surge of adrenaline caused his muscles to tremble slightly.
I wonder if I'll experience any adverse reactions when I kill someone with my own hands...
Zhang Changgui's longsword struck Yang Fu, but there was no reaction whatsoever.
Not only Zhang Changgui and Li Er, but even the onlookers were stunned.
The only one who wasn't dumbfounded was Yang Fu; on the contrary, his eyes were bloodshot, and he looked like he was going crazy.
He still thinks he's at the end of his rope, that he can no longer feel pain.
Zhang Changgui swung his axe again, but he charged forward without flinching, swinging his axe.
"puff!"
A hand holding a knife flew down from the air.
Just as Yang Fu was about to take the opportunity to kill someone, a furious roar came from afar.
"stop!!"
The sound had barely reached this side when the figure arrived.
The newcomer, dressed in the robes of an outer disciple, looked at the mess on the ground and the two people, one dead and one injured, and said with uncontrollable rage,
"How dare you commit murder right under the noses of the Immortal Sect! You will not be spared!!"
After saying that, he made a hand seal and chanted incantations. In a moment, a fireball the size of a washbasin appeared out of thin air and shot straight at Yang Fu.
"puff!...."
This time, Yang Fu saw it clearly: a fireball the size of a washbasin struck his chest, and a transparent wave of water appeared. The fireball hit the water, making two hissing sounds... and then turned into white smoke and disappeared.
The outer disciple who unleashed the fireball was startled upon seeing this and looked around.
"Which fellow Daoist is passing by? Xu Han, an outer disciple of the Qingyun Sect, requests an audience!"
The onlookers also came to their senses and began to look around.
"This is an outer sect disciple! I wonder whose relative he is..."
"What's even more impressive are the people who helped Yang Fu! They managed to shield him from such a huge fireball while hiding in the shadows..."
"So what if they're powerful? This is Qingyun Sect territory. Who dares to be disrespectful here?"
...
Seeing the murmurs around him, Xu Han was about to continue speaking when two people emerged from around the corner of a nearby house.
It was Ye Feng and Kou Ying!
