A hundred miles away from Qingshan City lies another city called Black Tortoise City.
This city is much more prosperous than Qingshan City, with towering skyscrapers under the night sky, glittering with lights, and every skyscraper exuding faint array energy fluctuations.
Indeed, many skyscrapers in this city are fortified with arrays, suggesting that the owners of these buildings are all highly skilled cultivators.
With the strength of the arrays, even if attacked by cultivators, these buildings would not be easily demolished or collapsed.
Lin Fei and his group walked into a grand hotel lobby.
"Welco!" said the beautiful and alluring receptionist with a sweet voice to Lin Fei and his party.
Lin Fei directly said to the receptionist, "I'd like to book two rooms, each with two double beds."
After asking for Lin Fei's na, the receptionist imdiately made arrangents and then said to Lin Fei, "Mr. Lin, the total is 300 Dragon Copper Coins."
This price is a full 100 Dragon Copper Coins more expensive than hotels in Qingshan City. However, Qingshan City is at best a small county, while Black Tortoise City is a real city with a population of millions, so it is quite normal for hotel prices to be higher.
Lin Fei nodded, placed his palm on the marble-topped front desk, and with a flash of cyan light from the Dragon Pattern Bronze Ring on his index finger, 30 ten-denomination Dragon Copper Coins appeared on the desktop.
The Dragon Pattern Bronze Ring on Lin Fei's finger is indeed a Storage Ring, which he obtained from his servant Yue Peng.
He checked with his mind and found a small array protecting the contents inside the Storage Ring, but this was no obstacle for Lin Fei, who easily broke through the small array with his strength.
He discovered that Yue Peng's Storage Ring contained quite a wealth, not lacking in Dragon Copper Coins, Dragon Silver Coins, or even Dragon Gold Coins, totaling nearly several hundred thousand Dragon Copper Coins.
This was enough for Lin Fei and his group to spend for quite so ti, and taking several hundred thousand Dragon Copper Coins on a trip showed that Yue Peng, as a young master, had no small amount of financial resources.
Besides the Storage Ring, Lin Fei also obtained a Storage Bag from Yue Peng, although he hadn't had the chance to take inventory of the treasures inside the Storage Bag yet.
As for Yue Peng, Lin Fei had already left him on the way; his sole purpose in approaching Yue Peng was to take so money without really intending to have a servant burden him.
The receptionist accepted the 300 Dragon Copper Coins and imdiately handed Lin Fei the receipt and room cards.
Lin Fei and his group then proceeded to their rooms.
anwhile, as Lin Fei and his companions settled down in the luxury hotel in Black Tortoise City, Yue Peng lay on a desolate mountain peak, far from civilization.
His eyes were ablaze with hatred. After Lin Fei made him hand over the Storage Ring and Storage Bag, he sealed his acupoints and left him on this desolate mountain.
Yue Peng felt that the sha he suffered in just one day was more than he had ever endured.
First kneeling in public, willingly becoming Lin Fei's servant, and now being discarded like trash in a deserted mountain.
His eyes nearly spewed fire as he swore between clenched teeth, "Lin Fei, one day I will tear you to pieces to quench the hatred in my heart."
Just after he spoke, he heard rustling noises around him, and then four or five large wolves, each three to four ters long, covered in dense black fur, with sharp fangs and blood-red eyes, appeared in the few ters of open space around him.
Yue Peng's nerves instantly tensed, recognizing these wolves as Holy Dragon Continent fang wolves.
Fang wolves are fierce beasts with Saint Transformation strength.
Bloody and cruel, they dared to attack saints with Saint Transformation strength in packs.
Under normal circumstances, Yue Peng wouldn't fear encountering such ferocious fang wolves, but now he was paralyzed with his acupoints sealed by Lin Fei, unable to operate his skills and facing four or five fierce fang wolves without any ans of resistance.
Yue Peng turned deathly pale; he never imagined that as the young master of the Yue family, a Saint Heir of Ten Thousand Swords City, he would end up as food for these evil wolves.
He would die with his eyes open!
"Roar!~~~" The four or five fang wolves opened their bloody mouths, letting out ferocious roars as they were about to launch their attack on Yue Peng.
Swish swish.
At this critical mont, five fang wolves dashed towards Yue Peng like lightning.
Just as Yue Peng was about to be devoured by the wolves, a dozen figures suddenly flew in, their swords gleaming like silver light, and wherever the sword light landed, blood sprayed, and the five fang wolves let out horrific howls.
Then the five fang wolves fell to the ground, blood flowing everywhere.
In the moonlight, a dozen black-clad figures landed on the hilltop; leading them was an elderly man in his sixties, with silver hair like frost, full of vitality, with eyes gleaming with a sharp glint, and exuding an unfathomable aura.
Upon seeing this elder, Yue Peng, like a drowning man grasping at the last straw, couldn't help but cry out in grief and grievance, "Third Uncle, you've co to save …"
The Yue family has six houses, and the elder, ranked third, is Master Yueyun of the third house.
Yue Peng's father is ranked fourth, the lord of the fourth house of the Yue family, and Yue Peng is the major young master of the fourth house.
As the third house primarily has daughters, Yue Peng is also the eldest young master of the Yue family.
Master Yueyun stepped forward and quickly struck a few acupoints on Yue Peng's body, unsealing his blocked acupoints.
As soon as his acupoints were unsealed, Yue Peng imdiately stood up from the ground, his heart filled with lingering fear as he looked at the slain fang wolves on the ground. If not for his third uncle's tily arrival, he would have lost his life by now.
"If I hadn't received a call from your four subordinates in ti and tracked you down here through the Secret Technique, you might not have survived. It's hard to imagine how you, as the major young master of the Yue family, ended up in such dire straits?" Master Yueyun voice was stern as he expressed his dissatisfaction with Yue Peng.
Yue Peng's face was full of sha and anger as he said, "Third Uncle, I couldn't have imagined Lin Fei's strength to be so formidable. Unfortunately, he managed to escape!"
"Escape? He dared to humiliate soone from the Yue family. Once entering the territory of Ten Thousand Swords City, can he escape the grasp of the Yue family?" Master Yueyun's eyes darkened as he spoke.
Upon hearing this, Yue Peng couldn't help but feel a glimr of hope and asked Master Yueyun; "Does Third Uncle know where Lin Fei is?"
"I just received a call from several Hall Masters of the True Essence Sect, learning that Lin Fei has arrived in Black Tortoise City and is staying at a hotel owned by the Yue family," Master Yueyun said coldly.
"Did Third Uncle bring masters from the True Essence Sect this ti?" Yue Peng's eyes glead, for the True Essence Sect was a dium cultivation sect controlled by the Yue family's power, grooming cultivation experts for the Yue family, managing the business ventures, and gathering all sorts of information.
Master Yueyun replied, "I initially intended for the True Essence Sect to look into the whereabouts of Lin Fei across hundreds of miles in each city and town. However, I didn't expect them to tell they were also looking for Lin Fei because Hall Master Zhong of the True Essence Sect was killed by Lin Fei today."
"What, Hall Master Zhong of the True Essence Sect was killed by Lin Fei?" Yue Peng exclaid in surprise.
Master Yueyun nodded, "Indeed, according to the experts of the True Essence Sect, Hall Master Zhong died beneath the Devil's Tower."
