"Elder Li, you're not joking, are you? Our ancestor is going to act like a dog in front of us? What's going on?"
"It must be because of this girl in the red dress. Our ancestor has done us a great favor and is the spiritual pillar of the entire Yellow Maple Valley. Our ancestor must not be humiliated."
“I’m going to fight this girl in the red dress right now. If she wants our ancestor to be a dog, she’ll have to step over my dead body.”
...
Following the orders of the girl in the red dress, Li Shenhai notified all Nascent Soul cultivators in Huangfeng Valley.
When everyone learned that it was true, they were furious.
“My life was given to me by my ancestor. Now that my ancestor is about to be humiliated, I cannot sit here and wait to die.”
“Well said, count me in. If it weren’t for my cultivation level, I wouldn’t have reached the Nascent Soul stage.”
"Count me in too!"
...
They all wanted to rush up and fight the girl in the red dress, but were stopped by Li Shenhai alone.
"You bunch of fools! Even our ancestor is no match for this girl in the red dress. If you went up there and didn't even make a move, you'd probably be dead beyond any hope of survival."
Li Shenhai rebuked, "The ancestor will only suffer humiliation, but if you cause such a commotion, someone might become murderous and take the ancestor's life."
"If Huangfeng Valley were to lose its patriarch, how long do you think it could last? I think it wouldn't be long before we become the next Baiyun Sect."
Everyone present was immediately speechless, realizing that Li Shenhai's words made sense.
The entire Yellow Maple Valley owes its existence to its ancestor; otherwise, their situation wouldn't be much better than that of other sects in Tiannan.
"If you understand this, then inform the disciples below and let them prepare themselves mentally." Li Shenhai sighed helplessly.
Everyone present was in a very heavy mood and did not say another word.
The announcements from the various Nascent Soul elders caused a huge uproar throughout Yellow Maple Valley.
All the disciples of Huangfeng Valley were quite angry when they learned of what had happened.
However, after being reprimanded by the Nascent Soul Elder, he had no choice but to accept reality.
Yellow Maple Valley.
On a plaza atop a giant peak.
This place used to be the site of the Xuanmo Sect, specifically used for holding sect conferences.
After Huangfeng Valley was occupied, this place became the site of Huangfeng Valley's opening ceremony.
In the past, when Han Feng was going to hold a sect conference, everyone in Huangfeng Valley would be very enthusiastic.
Everyone greatly admired such a powerful ancestor.
But today was different from usual; everyone in Yellow Maple Valley looked rather grim.
Because their ancestor was to be treated like a dog, and in front of everyone.
"Is everyone here yet? You're moving too slowly; it's been more than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn," the girl in the red dress complained.
“Everyone’s here, we can go now,” Li Shenhai replied.
"Then I'll begin!"
The girl in the red dress smiled and said, "Han Feng, come here."
Han Feng walked toward the girl in the red dress with vacant eyes, and stopped in front of her after a while.
"Kneel down on all fours now," the girl in the red dress commanded.
Many people from Huangfeng Valley dared not look and closed their eyes.
They couldn't bear to watch their sect's patriarch be so humiliated.
Only the girl in the red dress was hoping that Han Feng would kneel down for her, but she soon realized that Han Feng did not kneel down.
"I told you to kneel down on all fours, did you hear me?"
The girl in the red dress thought Han Feng was resisting and urged him impatiently.
"I heard that, but unfortunately I won't do it," Han Feng said with a smile.
"You weren't fooled by my illusion just now; you've been playing me the whole time!"
"You only realize this now? My gold-eating beetles have eaten their fill and it's time for them to come back."
At Han Feng's command, two Gold-Eating Insects emerged from the Spirit Beast Pouch.
They flew back into Han Feng's spirit beast pouch and began to digest the things the girl in the red dress had placed there.
"Damn it, give the gold-devouring bugs back!" The girl in the red dress was furious.
“This gold-devouring insect is mine, why should I give it to you?” Han Feng naturally refused.
"Then give me back the Thousand-Year Blood Fruit from my spirit beast pouch."
"I've already eaten it, why should I give it back to you?"
"Then you can give me the Gold-Eating Insects as compensation."
"Okay, I'll return it to you now."
Han Feng took out two gold-devouring insects, which then flew towards the girl in the red dress.
Seeing the two gold and black gold-devouring insects fly over, the girl in the red dress, Su Yinyue, was so frightened that her face turned pale.
"I don't want this gold-devouring beetle anymore, you can keep it yourself."
"Then you still won't compensate for the Thousand-Year Blood Fruit?"
"No need!"
"You said it yourself, I didn't force you."
"snort!"
Su Yinyue gave a soft snort in protest.
She knew she was no match for Han Feng, and leaving now was the best option.
"Who gave you permission to leave?"
Han Feng pressed down on Su Yinyue's shoulder with his hand, preventing her from leaving.
Su Yinyue was both afraid and angry: "I don't even care about the Thousand-Year Blood Fruit, why won't you let me leave?"
“I told you I’m from the Heavenly Demon Sect. If you kill me, you will face retaliation from the Heavenly Demon Sect.”
She had learned about Han Feng before coming to Huangfeng Valley and knew how ruthless he was.
When Han Feng asked her to stay, she immediately told him where she lived.
"I think I offended the Heavenly Demon Sect, a major sect in Lingzhou, a long time ago. Killing you would just be offending them a little more, it shouldn't be a big deal." Han Feng's smile was somewhat cold.
“It’s different.” Su Yinyue was afraid that Han Feng would do something foolish: “I’m not from the same lineage as the people you destroyed in the Spirit Beast Sect. The Heavenly Demon Sect isn’t ruled by one person.”
"It is composed of many lineages. My Silver Moon lineage holds a pivotal position in the Heavenly Demon Sect. As the Holy Maiden of this lineage, if you kill me, you will surely face retaliation from the Silver Moon lineage of the Heavenly Demon Sect."
“I understand what you mean. The Silver Moon lineage has a great influence in the Heavenly Demon Sect, and you, as the Holy Maiden of this lineage, hold a very high position.”
"Good that you understand. I advise you to treat me well. If I'm in a good mood, I might plead for you and get the Golden Crow lineage to let you off the hook. Just remember to pay the price when that happens."
"Then I must thank you properly."
"I'll express my gratitude later. I'm tired of playing and it's time for me to leave."
Su Yinyue felt that Han Feng was in danger and that it would be better to leave as soon as possible.
But she found that she still couldn't leave, because Han Feng had banned the area from flying.
"What do you mean by this? Didn't you promise to let me leave?" Su Yinyue asked angrily.
"Who agreed to let you leave? You said your identity was very precious, that you were a saintess of the Silver Moon lineage."
"If the people from the Heavenly Demon Sect find out that you are trapped in Yellow Maple Valley, they will definitely come to your rescue. Then I can ask for some money for food and lodging."
"How many spirit stones do you think I should ask for? How about two billion low-grade spirit stones? That amount is just right and won't lower your status as a saintess."
Han Feng came up with another way to make money.
"puff!!"
Su Yinyue was so angry that her face turned red.
She introduced herself, mainly hoping that Han Feng would let her go.
Good heavens!
Han Feng's thinking was exceptionally clear and unconventional; he actually planned to exchange himself for spirit stones.
